And another couple of etch cycles on the PIC12F683 done.
On the home stretch, I've almost got the last of the dielectric off. But I don't want to be too aggressive because ideally I'd get a beauty shot of intact poly across the whole die first, *then* undercut the poly and get a substrate image.
So I'm still doing my usual 2 minutes etch, then image routine. It'll take as long as it takes.

Vi gör något så vilt som att delta i #drinkklubben på en torsdag.

Peter Mandelson is a man with a very long history of doing dodgy deals with the rich and infamous. He 'borrowed' £373,000 from someone he was supposed to be investigating for wrongdoing in 1996. He tried to fix a British passport for an Indian #billionaire in 2001. He hung out passim with Jeffrey Epstein.

Ugh. The rain that was supposed to stop imminently, well, it intensified instead. At one point, I could hardly open my eyes. So I decided not to go with HR zone 2 training tonight and just get it done.

Oh, and it stopped raining on my last lap. 🙃
Still, like dogs, all runs are good runs.

Early Detection of Branched Broomrape (Phelipanche ramosa) Infestation in Tomato Crops Using Leaf Spectral Analysis and Machine Learning
Branched broomrape (Phelipanche ramosa) is a chlorophyll-deficient parasitic weed that threatens tomato production by extracting nutrients from the host. We investigate early detection using leaf-level spectral reflectance (400-2500 nm) and ensemble machine learning. In a field experiment in Woodland, California, we tracked 300 tomato plants across growth stages defined by growing degree days (GDD). Leaf reflectance was acquired with a portable spectrometer and preprocessed (band denoising, 1 n…
