New comment by dskhatri in "You Can Just Buy Far-UVC"

dskhatri — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 06:51:32 +0000

I am not convinced a single lamp placed over the dining table would provide sufficient irradiance to inactivate viruses and other pathogens in the large room. Consider having an infected individual sneeze or cough at the table. The expiration jet would spread so rapidly. This lamp is like a tiny flashlight placed above the dining table. Furthermore, far UV gets absorbed by oxygen in the air. The net irradiance of far uv is worse than 254 nm at a fixed distance from two equivalent (in power and form) sources.

The lamp would be effective if you were able to quickly circulate the air in the room past the lamp.

New comment by dskhatri in "US startup Substrate announces chipmaking tool that it says will rival ASML"

dskhatri — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 17:32:27 +0000

It is wild that the founders have very little experience in the space, and that their claims are based on sparse research. That said, the Substack article doesn't seem any more credible. Other than the name DC Fusion LLC, I missed any indications that the founder was working on a fusion startup. The article correctly identifies as an opinion piece but doesn't seem worthy of credible referencing.

Someone help me understand why the Ray-Ban branding? Meta should be able to make the frames themselves. Ray-Ban doesn't seem to be a strong enough brand that Meta couldn't go it solo and build a glasses brand themselves.

I'm a debut author and not established by any means. I do have marketing experience and can provide the following suggestions:

+ Put all apps and books under one umbrella brand. Your book doesn't have a unique name associated with it. Little Math Genius or Little Math Whiz, for example.

+ Setup an umbrella website (littlemathwhiz dot com) and blog

+ Start aggregating a user mailing list where you can provide gentle updates (beta test new features on quizmathgenius, new book announcement etc)

Nice work. I like the simple, unobtrusive and ad-free interface. I have kids who could use this although you face lots of competition for their very limited allotted active screen time [1]. The 6 yo gets 45 mins a week on the computer, usually opting for PBSkids, Kodable or Scratch. The 3 yo gets 15 mins usually opting for guided digital canvas painting as she learns to use a mouse.

There are a few good no-screen puzzle books for kids (lookup the ones by Usborne).

As a recent publisher of an interactive children's book [2], I am seeing more sales of the physical books than the digital/web editions despite the latter having more features including an element of teaching math.

Curious if you considered publishing a physical book with these concepts/math puzzles?

New comment by dskhatri in "Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits"

dskhatri — Sat, 02 Aug 2025 14:21:10 +0000

So with any conventional transistor including the GaN HEMT, the input/gate capacitance must be charged in order for the transistor to turn on. The turn on and off (discharging the input and the output capacitance) is predictable, and is the job of a gate driver integrated circuit.

It appears to me that while the effective input capacitance is reduced with HZO, the gate driver would need to be special to deal with the changing capacitance.

The article implies that the Berkeley team has been researching the use of feroelectrics in Si devices for 20 years. Are there Si mosfets in production with this material on the gate?

Thanks! The story images were made in Google Whisk. The tool allows you to generate a character and then apply the character to a scene separately defined. While more advanced than other image generation platforms, it isn't perfect and the images required lots of editing in GIMP. The vectors (achievement stickers, play cash) were made in Inkscape.

Thank you! I have been an Emacs user/consumer for many years. This project finally got me into the proverbial weeds, a fun venture, learning elisp, exploring the Org code base especially around the export backends [1]. It was useful going through the one.el source code as well, and I now write my blog in Emacs, rendering it using this package [2].

Ink looks iteresting! Twinery provides a nice visual editor for the passages and branches which I found appealing. Ultimately, I used Mermaid to create visual snapshots of the story which were useful when editing the physical book.
