๐Ÿค” Ah, the classic tale of techies racing to shave #microseconds off an already speedy #algorithm. ๐Ÿ“‰ Because, why not spend days optimizing the argmin of floats when you could just, you know, use the first solution that already works in half a millisecond? ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’ก

Faster argmin on floats

If you know that you are working with "regular" floats, you can make argmin faster.

Found a really nice #opamp to design my #UVC detector for my #bespoke #FPLC project. It has really low input bias current and offset #voltage. It's a bit slow with a slew rate of about 0.35v/us (would take about 14 #microseconds to rise from 0 to 5v) but, for my needs, this is perfect. Also found a better #UVC detector that has high sensitivity around 280nm. Time to draft a #transimpedence amplifier #circuit #PCB!
