After 2 months of work I finally finished calibration of first 2 channels of my automatic test equipment and now I can finally measure diode curves.

My favorite game playing in my mind is doing timeline revelsals, what if browsers used bliss from the beginning and then someone invented JavaScript and put it in browser. Would you stick to bliss?

With these sentiments I always remember E.T. game for Atari. It took six weeks to develop that game, it would take an hour to develop now for experienced game dev, even without ai. So we do have some bloat now but we also have tremendous amount of productivity, mature tools, languages and hw.

Removing how is stupid. If the "extraneous" how is there, you can still understand it, but when the necessary how is removed, it doesn't make sense or it changes meaning. When I read the title I thought someone is trying to lower the weight of Maxwell's contribution by suggesting he merely discovered them, not "invented" them.

Update: on second try the generation succeeded, the output was hallucination, completely unrelated to the prompt. Useless. Image comparing what I wanted and what was generated: https://files.catbox.moe/kplzpk.png

It's not tricky. I literally told you how it should look like on mobile.

Still generating, 53 minutes.

Ux on mobile is very bad. First you lure me with a prompt, but when I type it it's lost and I'm redirected to login page. Ok, I signed up, logged in. On mobile the progress panel is 1cm wide, I didn't notice and I set the same prompt now I have 2 generating and no way to cancel. You (correctly) started title of this post with the word "generate" that is your core feature, everything else I see on mobile is unrelated bullshit, including the carousel, including the "choose your role" dialog. On mobile there should be prompt (50% of screen real estate), a generate button, output/progress (50% of screen real estate) and hamburger button that hides everything else.

The generation haven't finished yet, I will report when it finishes to see if core feature is even usable.

Solar cell is the only practically viable power source with no moving parts. Stop trying to attach it to moving things. Movements breaks things. Just put the panels by the rail, e.g. as vertical sound barriers in reasonable distance (to lower the pressure waves from train) from tracks. Or on a nearby field where it can be protected and inspected all at one place.

Also number of McDonald's in the world divided by number of McDonald's in US is close to pi. Within 1%.

CdS LDRs are quite slow, like 0.1s slow, or is it only when light operated?
