jasegHoly shit, the PCB design of this new sensor board, called Ophanim, of CERN’s Aegis experiment just fucking slaps. Right now, there don’t seem to be many images of it on the web, but I hope to see more in the future.
Cato, registered LynxⓁ@jaseg hoooly shit. Now that's it. The best PCB out there. god damn
GabeMoralesVR@cato @jaseg What about Atari's 1973 PCB for Space Race? Built during a time when you stored computer graphics *in diodes* on the PCB itself, so you can literally see the sprites on the board:
@GabeMoralesVR ohhhh i remember reading about that. so cool
@cato you ever seen those coding competitions where they turn the source code into ascii art? The hardware equivalent of that lol.
@GabeMoralesVR oh yeah! crazy :D
ArgentCorvid@jaseg it DOES look cool.
But it also looks like a casino table game at the same time.
Matt McIrvin@argentcorvid @jaseg well, we can bet on the results.
(Tip: ALWAYS bet on general relativity being right.)
I am Jack's Lost 404@mattmcirvin @argentcorvid @jaseg
This makes me feel uncertain 👀
BigTheDave@argentcorvid @jaseg This looks like what I imagine the inside of the Platinum Chip from Fallout New Vegas looks like.
Oomfie Snoofies@jaseg lol evangelion ass type of pcb
@kouett yeah, it kind of combines evangelion, metal band shirt, and tattoo art styles? Or someone is just really into christian symbolism.
cafkafk@jaseg I don’t know anything about circuits but this looks vrey cool
@cafkafk tbh circuit-wise, I suspect there isn’t actually much going on on this board. I suspect this board really just connects the big pile of camera sensors in the middle to some place else on the outside, where the actual processing happens.
eviloatmeal, resident Death Stranding 2 apologist (arch, btw)@jaseg Looks like the most intense casino table.
Sylvhem@jaseg All PCB should look like this. If the complex sigils in which you trapped lightning don’t look like sorcery, then you are doing it wrong.

Diary of Paracelsus’s Rose@jaseg who are the saints surrounding the outer rim?
Ján Bogár@jaseg finaly a biblically accurate PCB!

Louis@jaseg "Optical Photon and Antimatter Imager" mad scientists be dropping the hardest sensor name on a PCB this cool like it's no big deal 
@louis The accompanying press release went to some length explaining how, essentially, they are using camera chips made for phones, so technically that is just a very badass way of describing a phone camera 🤣
@jaseg "this imager is brought to you by the sponsors of today's press release: Samsung, who provided the Galaxy S24 Ultra's camera sensors, and PCBWay for the PCB. We were able to tour their factory earlier this week, we will talk about them at the end of this press release..."

@jaseg it roughly reads “human made these eyes out of rock by art and skill. Now this wonder is used to learn about the universe”. It’s a bit contrived and not very idiomatic.
@zoec I guess hiring an actual translator on project expenses to make it more idiomatic would have been hard to justify. Still achieves the goal of being badass through.
@jaseg I mean it’s CERN and surely there are many classists (if not by trade) produced by the euro education system just within the org, but the topic itself doesn’t quite fit into Cicero’s Latin

penguin42@penguin42 AFAIK they're CMOS sensors, but yeah
Efi (nap pet) 🦊💤@jaseg somebody had a lot of fun at the board design board
polprog68k@jaseg the kind of device that archaeologists find 500 years later and declare an object of worship or something.
@gorplop I would forgive them for calling it that lol

Warren@jaseg Now that is just showing off, damn
Florian Rössing@jaseg
You could just ask one of the working groups behind it directly, or the cern press center, they could probably provide a render of the PCB easily.

Legion495@jaseg This bad boi slaps sensor board felt that
Xasin, Neira & Mesh@jaseg ohhhh yesss.... I knew there was good reason to put Latin on my own PCBs
This
This is good
This is the sign of an artist with *passion*, crafting that PCB like their own version of a mona lisa. I love this so much
mega@jaseg the forbidden roulette
feliks✨@jaseg hope that's good enough of a translation
> from stones man made eyes. through art and ingenuity a unique monster is used to dissect the universe
Greg Bell@jaseg @janamarie wow science has come a long way in refining spell arrays
gudenau@jaseg Why not, you already have the silkscreen and etching so it's basically free to do. Super awesome!
@gudenau Yeah, looks like someone went "if we're going to pay for gold plating, might as well go HARD"
@jaseg I'm just cringing at what the conspiracy theorists will make of it-- it's utter bait for them!
rastilinConspiracy theorists will always be screaming about something, they can just be ignored.
Spark@jaseg @daniel_bohrer It looks like a weird Yu-Gi-Oh playing table. 😄
Björn Gohla@jaseg ok, just tell us, what prompt did you use?
@6d03 This is just human creativity at its finest, have a look: https://www.tum.de/en/news-and-events/all-news/press-releases/details/photo-sensor-from-smartphones-helps-with-antimatter-research-at-cern
@jaseg cool.
i was joking of course 🙄
