PREPRINT OUT ✨ "hack" your microscope to work as a 3D printer! print micrometer sized features at cm scale. a method for easy and cheap microfabrication, with a focus on biological applications. THREAD ↓ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The term “Hacker” originated from a bunch of MIT students obsessed with model trains. In the late 1950s, the Tech Model Railroad Club was split into two primary factions: - Knife and Paintbrush - Signals and Power (S&P) S&P played fast and loose; disliking authority.

looks wheely good 👍 magnetic grip means it should work underwater too

CD laser reader sensor | extracted from CD laser head. There was a clear plastic in the front fo the IC so the color aberration is visible even with Plan Apo objective. Enjoy 😛

My new WIRED piece about arXiv: either 1) the most important website you've never heard of or 2) the platform your entire field depends on Also had the pleasure of hanging out with its creator, Paul Ginsparg—the Forrest Gump of the Internet age

i’m known to be picky about graphs, not usually into violin plots but this one kinda slaps - overlaying the box plot & scatter distribution is sparking joy

fucking insane. some fish use electrical signals to navigate; if two fish on the same frequency encounter each other, they automatically switch frequencies to avoid "signal jamming" each other. exactly like how your wifi router does at home. wow.

i wouldn’t tell anybody i’d won the lottery…but there will be signs

Can anyone decap some chips for us? Mix of devices with ceramic (LCC) and plastic (QFN) but want it done in so-so clean area, bonus if you can image them too Will pay!

Excited to announce our new SemiAnalysis Die Yield Calculator, a tool we made public to help others understand semi yields. Now featuring: Reticle Shot Grid Reticle Graphic New Output Values Notch Support New Yield Models 1/4

Exactly how I like learning about this stuff. MCMC is not a difficult concept to understand if you have the right person explain it to you.

If you missed it, Rive published an amazing technical blog post on how they built real vector feathering. It breaks down why default blur rendering doesn't cut it anymore and how they solved it. Super impressive work that shows why Rive is becoming so important

A 1990s era ISA card stands between me and owning a working wafer bonder. A Meilhaus ME-300 data acquisition card. It draws 800mA from 5v and all the voltage rails seem fine. Nothing gets hot while running. Im replacing the crystal today…. Its twin brother works fine.

This is what the US national standard VOLT looks like at NIST.

this guy's brownie pan is better designed than EBPG chip/wafer holders (from Stuff Made Here on yt)
