Characterizing my first attempt at copper-only passives

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-02 22:01:50

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

“Yuck”: Wikipedia pauses AI summaries after editor revolt

Generative AI is permeating the Internet, with chatbots and AI summaries popping up faster than we can keep track. Even Wikipedia, the vast repository of knowledge famously maintained by an army of volunteer human editors, is looking to add robots to the mix. The site began testing AI summaries in some articles over the past week, but the project has been frozen after editors voiced their opinions. And that opinion is: "yuck."
