#TIL but not surprised that the Dewey Decimal Classification, like many old things, is racist and bigoted.

Our collective intellectual culture seems to have calcified around a cohort of thinkers who achieved prominence roughly ten years ago and have been coasting ever since.
This isn't about Malcolm Gladwell specifically, though he'll appear as a recurring character.
The Gladwell formula, if you haven't encountered it, goes something like this:
take a subject that seems simple,
complicate it with research that seems to undermine common sense,
then re…

As the English speaking world classifies some share of the body “private parts” we must conclude that we can consider the rest of it to be “public parts” (as in public goods).
And we should act accordingly.

And now that I'm below poly, I think it's time to give my microscope a well-deserved break from the near-constant imaging it's been doing the past few weeks.
369963 photos totaling 203.4 GB. Over a hundred hours of imaging time averaging around 3000 photos an hour. 27 etch cycles, 72 imaging runs.
I'll start shooting some analysis video later today talking about the device floorplan and such. But as a teaser, here's the final image just after stripping poly bu…

Andreessen said that mandatory NASDAQ rules that imposed diversity criteria on corporate boards were "crazy", recounting that on one occasion he was tempted to describe himself as "bisexual" to help Meta meet those criteria, as he felt for Peter Thiel, who was horrified when Meta lawyers suggested that he classified himself as "diverse".

Spent the morning deal with the US Gov't - sheesh.
We had to update our SAM registration - most people have never had to deal with the US Gov't's procurement system and dueling systems of regulations (FARs vs DFARs), not to mention its decades obsolete industrial and product classification codes. What a mess!!! What a massive burden for a small company!! (And, of course, the Feds update things in disruptive ways.)
Then I had to deal with renewing my passport and ha…

Continuing work on the PIC12F683 video. Ripped out all of the early rambling guesswork floorplan analysis I did on the top metal and replaced it with a much more in-depth floorplan discussion looking at the substrate-level floorplan.
Video is now just shy of an hour 20 in length and I still need to add:
* Quick intro to digital CMOS layout and standard cells (planning to film this tonight)
* Deep dive on SRAM
* Deep dive on flash
* Deep dive on fuses/configuration…
