I’m really not familiar with the political and social climate of the Phillipines, and I know it’s easier said than done, but surely there’s a better way to deal with drug use than murdering every drug addict (and probably a lot of other innocent people too). From an outside perspective that just seems horrifying.
“Open Compute” being trademarked is pretty ironic
The article itself mentions E Ink’s Kaleido 3 technology. I’m not really sure on the semantics of “e-ink” vs “e-paper”, but your take sounds good enough to me. I do know that E Ink makes a product internally (maybe also externally? idk) refered to as “ACeP”, which stands for “Advanced Color e-Paper”, so e-ink definitely classifies as a type of e-paper.
One of their older color products is a traditional B/W screen with an RGB filter over the top. The problem with this is the filter tends to make everything way darker and muted than it should be.
They are also working on newer ACeP screens that use multiple colored dye and pigment particles in the same capsule. By swapping the colors around with specific electric waveforms, they can control what the color looks like from the front. The downside is that this color swapping often takes several seconds to produce the correct color ((also the color gamut has a lot of holes))
Hi! Former E Ink employee here. The technology behind color e ink displays is an intricate nightmare of juggling different ink particles through a gel medium (which is actually derived from pig fat btw). It’s a miracle it even works in the first place, and unfortunately higher color accuracy comes at the cost of refresh rate due to all the steps involved. Not sure how in-depth I can go without violating my NDA though lol.
While the color tech is advancing, it’s still got a long way to go.
That’s not a logo either; It’s a photograph
That’s not a logo; That’s a font
Interesting that this affects the gcode rather than the model itself. I wonder how this would compare to just sculpting surface details in something like blender
“macOS has been here” “how can you tell?” “.DS_Store”
I like to shake the bytes around a little
i = ( i << 1 + 2 ) >> 1
I hope someone who knows more about plasma dynamics can explain this better because it’s super fascinating.
In eli5 terms (which is about as much as I understand), the sun’s core generates a massive magnetic field. Like way way bigger and stronger than the Earth’s, and just like the Earth’s it’s constantly shifting and wiggling around. The Sun is also really hot and made out of plasma. Because plasma is made out of charged particles, it tries to follow the magnetic fields and gets bent and thrown around into crazy arcs and patterns, as seen in the video.
The darker spots on the sun (called sunspots) are areas where the magnetic field is exceptionally strong.
Sometimes, the plasma gets thrown out into space at high velocities. If a plasma wave hits the Earth it can get caught in Earth’s magnetic field and cause auroras at the poles.
Edit for extra infodump I forgot: Because plasma is electrically charged, it creates its own magnetic fields while it moves through space, so a plasma cloud is constantly reshaping itself in complex ways
