Characterizing my first attempt at copper-only passives

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 04:01:50

Characterizing my first attempt at copper-only passives¶ Last year, I kind of got a bee in my bonnet about trying to see if I could accurately (?) make small RF passives out of copper, rather than buying 2pF NP0 capacitors or something, as part of a long-on-the-horizon project to make extremely inexpensive GHz-class oscilloscope probes. I figured that the right place to start was to fab out a board on JLCPCB's JLC04161H-3313 stackup with a handful of calibration standards, and some of the passi

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World

Amiga 4000T: The Best Amiga in the World There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better — or anything else for that matter — has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released.

We Love ‘The Goonies,’ but Something Irks Us All These Years Later

One of the many blessings/curses that comes with aging is a new perspective on things. Movies, for example. You can watch a movie a billion times growing up, learn to quote every line, buy posters and toys, and revel in how watching it makes you feel like a kid again. Then, you watch it a few years later and notice something you never noticed before. Something that didn’t matter when you were 10, 20, or 30. But at 40 or 50, you can’t quite get your head around it.

Solar Orbiter Captures First Clear Views of Sun’s South Pole—and It’s a Hot Mess

For more than 60 years, various spacecraft and telescopes have journeyed through space to stare at the Sun, capturing haunting images of the giant ball of hot gas at the heart of our solar system. Our view of the star is limited, however, by Earth’s orbital plane, which allows us to observe the Sun’s equator head-on while its polar regions remain in a frustrating blind spot.

Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Camera app in iOS 26 is nearly bare, populated primarily with a shutter button and a switch to toggle between Photo and Video modes. It's the one app so far where I imagine Apple's designers said, "Let's do Liquid Glass, but even less." And from a visual standpoint, I get the appeal: You want to be absorbed by the photo you're about to take, not distracted by the controls around the periphery.

OpenAI's ChatGPT has some major competitors in the market: Gemini, Copilot, Claude. Now add to that list the Atari 2600. The OG video game console, which was first released in 1977, was used in an engineer's experiment to see how it would fare playing chess against the AI chatbot. By using a software emulator to run Atari's 1979 game Video Chess, Citrix engineer Robert Caruso said he was able to set up a match between ChatGPT and the 46-year-old game.
