You don't see toys like this around anymore. The Atomic Energy Lab set was available from 1951 to 1952 and sold for a whopping $50.

"The set came with four types of uranium ore, a beta-alpha source, a pure beta source, a gamma source, a spinthariscope, a cloud chamber, an electroscope, a geiger counter, and a manual."

@jkmcnk @mos_8502 That's Turbo Vision, and there's a modern port available.
GitHub - magiblot/tvision: A modern port of Turbo Vision 2.0, the classical framework for text-based user interfaces. Now cross-platform and with Unicode support.

remembering the time i was sitting in a starbucks years ago when a guy loudly declared to the room "look at everyone on computers! what a terrible thing! using computers!" and i wordlessly took a 2nd laptop out of my bag and started using that too

@nyhan So, I have been slowly and reluctantly coming to the conclusion that LLMs are the One Ring:

• They are seductive by appealing to a person's best nature

• By convincing the user that what they most ardently desire is almost within their grasp and they are right and good to want it and deserving of having it, they slowly turn the user into Gollum

• They are probably feeding everything the user whispers to it right on to the evil guy on the back end of a Palantir

@ezio Who's this General Failure and what business does he have reading my hard drive?

I received an email earlier this week from EA asking if I wanted to be added to a public acknowledgement page they were creating for individuals who responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities to them.

For all the shit people give EA, of the 100+ companies I contacted in the last two years, they were the only company I would say had a decent incident response.

They fixed the issue within 12 hours after validating it as critical, and proactively provided me multiple updates over time.

When the IR was done on their side, they reached out again with some more information about the potential impact if the issue hadn't been solved quickly, and also offered me a reward.

I did not have to keep chasing anyone for updates, I wasn't asked for non-disclosure, or offered money in exchange for it, and people replied instead of ignoring me.

I wasn't blamed for their mistake, either, or reported to the authorities.

Unfortunately, at least one or multiple of the things mentioned above are present in most of my other incidents reported; it's a real shit show out there.

Do I know any Australian #electronics nerds who could use a small IR reflow oven? Yours for cost of postage.

This is a Qinsi QS-5100, purchased in 2013. Used only a few times, and probably not for ten years. I just fired it up and the heating element, fan, etc. all seem to work as expected - but it could use a thorough test at minimum.

A lot was written about these ovens back in the day, particularly by Ian of Dangerous Prototypes.

If, like me, you only assemble boards in ones and twos for prototypes then TBH you probably don't need this (I use hot air and a preheater). If you do frequent small assembly runs and can be bothered dialling the temp curves in (in theory a one-time process) then it may be of interest.

@batmanyyo La imagen muestra una gata negra sentada en un marco de ventana pintado de rojo, con un fondo de paredes pintadas en rojo y amarillo vibrantes. La gata está mirando hacia la derecha, con su pelaje negro brillante y sus ojos amarillos resaltando contra el color intenso del entorno. La ventana tiene un marco de madera roja y paneles de vidrio que permiten ver un cielo azul oscuro. La textura de las paredes es rugosa, con algunas grietas y desgaste, lo que añade un toque de autenticidad a la escena. La gata está sentada en el marco de la ventana, con su sombra proyectada en la pared roja, creando un contraste visual. La composición de la imagen es equilibrada, con la gata como el punto focal, y los colores vivos crean una atmósfera alegre y atractiva.
