@jerry This is broader than just risk, but my advice on talking to top leadership is to pay very close attention to the questions they ask. They are trying to make decisions about what the company should do, and if you are talking to them, it's likely because someone thinks you have information that could help them make that decision.

Have understandable answers and plan for the follow-up questions. Identify the key points you think the leaders need to know but may not know to ask.

@dntlookbehindu One of my friends was an admin for the EDS VR center in the late 90s. They had an Onyx rack system with I think 4 CPU boards and 3 RealityEngine2 boards ($500k or so) driving a motion-tracking CAVE and a theater with two aligned widescreen 3D projectors. Cutting edge setup for the time.

@Chigaze My mother worked as a PDP programmer on the General Motors parts tracking system in the 1970s. She did that right after graduating with her Mathematics degree, since Computer Science wasn’t an option at her university yet.

@yugthebug yep, should be easy to make. I use a Masterson’s Sta-Wet, which was around $20.

@yugthebug the thing I put off too long when I started was a wet palette. Costs a bit up front but will save so much paint over time.

@yugthebug I’ve used quilting pins before, and have Pigma Micron 003 pen I use for pupils - 0.15mm tip

@yugthebug I had to be really careful with the fluorescent paint because any spatters or drips are super obvious under the uv

This is amazing. EA1FUO has built nec2c into WebAssembly, and now you can do antenna simulations on your phone or desktop without depending on nec2c running on a server. You can also deploy it locally, and he provides instructions for how to do this on docker or bare, and you can run nec2c on the server if you like.

Takes seconds to simulate my inverted V, and it even displays updates on what it is doing while running the simulation. It then gives a 3d rendering that you can drag around to get a better intuition. As you hover your mouse over the model, it shows gain in dBi with elevation and azimuth.

Beautiful work!

I don't know where else he's active, but he's been posting about this on Reddit as he's been developing it:

I’ll post a cover of one of the obvious #robinhood picks for #tunetuesday - Jesse Welles singing the Oo-de-Lally from the animated Robin Hood: https://youtu.be/hAOtTLNtn0M?si=otzN8yNX6Aet_2Zm
