    Electronics seems like magic!

    I haven’t seen this work in practice but I heard people used to mail-order a kit for something called a Crystal Radio: This circuit is a working radio that does not require a battery. It is powered by the strength of the signal received by the antenna alone. I remember hearing that those...

    Electronics seems like magic!

    People who can design electronics are magicians because as far as I know there is no book, class, or method that directly teaches this. They must be trade secrets. The closest I’ve seen to anything teaching design are those electronics cookbooks containing a library of commonly used circuits...

    Artificial Intelligence---What is the Hardware Behind it?

    I don’t know if I believe in aliens or UFOs, but it would seem to me that they would pose a greater threat to humans than AI: Although advanced hardware makes AI possible, I believe it’s still essentially a software program. We just don’t know how it does what it does. A lot of money is...

    Electronics seems like magic!

    William Shockley (one of the transistor’s inventors) left Bell Labs in 1956 to start his own semiconductor company. He chose to locate in: Mountain View, California — his hometown. This was not yet “Silicon Valley.” It was farmland and fruit orchards. But Shockley brought something no one...

    Life After Layoff

    I’m sorry. I was looking for sympathy and comfort. I miss my mommy and daddy. I was hoping for affirmation and coddling. I apologize for feeling sorry for myself and not acting like a man. I wish I could be as strong as you guys.

    Electronics seems like magic!

    The transistor is the most magical device in all of electronics. It replaced large, power-hungry vacuum tubes, making it possible to shrink electronic devices dramatically. Transistors are microscopic; tubes are bulky glass bottles. Transistors last decades and aren’t fragile. Vacuum tubes...

    Life After Layoff

    Sometimes I feel like this character: It’s make me wonder sometimes if it might be better to accept that dreams are over and that they’re probably not going to come back. And to just let it go.

    Electronics seems like magic!

    CRTs are historically superior in areas like contrast, color accuracy, and motion handling. CRT TVs are still preferred for retro gaming due to lower input lag, direct analog signal handling, and a more authentic viewing experience. Superior contrast and color: CRTs produce deeper blacks and...

    Artificial Intelligence---What is the Hardware Behind it?

    In retrospect, hanging out at the arcade in the 1980’s, some of those games seemed to be early AI: I remember watching a technician opening up one of those big machines to fix it, and being surprised that it was mostly a hollow box/shell/container. All he did was replace a chip. The whole...
