Why do circuit breakers go up for on and down for off?

What is megaML? It doesn't google well.

It's a guy name.

Best wild duck I ever tasted. They dint eat pondweed. They eat estuary shrimp

It depends on your discipline and location.

Was it? I was too busy to notice. I think the most pretentious one is 'taupe'

Bullshit on the unreliable.

The Fairchild and Motorola RTL parts were horrible, as were the early TI TTL parts. They hadn't got the plastic packaging right yet and temperature cycling would break wire bonds. Maybe the ceramic flat-pack parts were OK, but we couldn't afford them.

There was Purple Plague in those days too.

Bullshit and I did the maintenance on a DEC PDP9 which used it extensively.

Bullshit and I did the RTL/TTL interface for the mag tape for the PDP15 which was the TTL version of the PDP9

Never had a single failure like that.

I used the plastic packaging exclusively and so did DEC and we never had any failures at all.

The PDP11/10AD didn't either.

Never saw that either.

You are really into poop. A lot of guys are.

By the time the PDP-11 came out, or the PDP-8I for that matter, things were much better.

Look it up.

The PDP 15 was well before that and didnt have that problem at all.

I didn't need to.

I will have to resort to DuckDuckGo to find out what the hell mauve is. Oh, purple, sort of. I went though the '80s without a woman hanging around the house. They know about that sort of stuff. Well, maybe not my ex. She never cared about House Beautiful and afaik she never wore makeup in her life.

In my dotage I've taken to building models of German WWII armor and have been introduced to the Tamiya rack at the hobby store. Ye Gods...

One of the available theme for our product really is teal, so called. I coded in #008080 and it wasn't a match. I hunted down the programmer and asked wtf? not very gently. Turns out his boss didn't like the color everybody else calls teal so he screwed around with the values until he got something that was acceptable and called it teal.

There are two other sort of blueish choices that I can barely distinguish.

Another product had strange color combination until I figured out it was the flag of India.

Had to look that up too. Mouse colored doesn't sound like it would go over with the fashionistas. Better than naked mole-rat I guess.

Not an actual term outside of my imagination. TensorFlow is a Google endeavor and they provide a web interface called Colab where you can execute TF in Python.

After training the model and getting the error down to an acceptable level you can export a .tflite file that's relatively small. The metaphor is when you're learning something new you're very busy but when you get around to applying the knowledge it's nowhere near as intensive so it can be handled by an embedded processor.

The Arduino nano 33 BLE Sense is popular. It uses the Nordic nRF52840 32- bit ARM processor and has an inertial unit, magnetic sensor, temperature, humidity, and other sensors in a very small package.

At least that's the theory. In the '80s I was programming MCUs lke the

For a sense of scale Facebook (Meta) managed to leak their large language model. It's only 288 GB. Nadella recently said Siri, Alexa, Cortana and so forth are as dumb as rocks. We'll see what the next generation of AI buzz brings.

The joys of pioneering... In the early CMOS days a lot of people slept through the part of 'these have low power consumption -- until you start driving the piss out of them'.

You're the one who sees it where it aint.

I'm pretty much indifferent to House Beautiful and never wore makeup. But my capacity for trivia is nearly boundless.

That said, my husband and I like to watch various home improvement shows where decorating is also involved. We criticize bad construction technique and marvel at the decorators' ability to listen to the homeowners and do nothing like what they wanted. It's always white walls, kitchen cabinets, and countertops. I think their purpose is to scrape any personality away from the house.

If an interior decorator ever knocks on my door, they'll be shot on sight.

In a stage play I was involved with, someone asked the difference between an interior decorator and an interior designer. "The size of the bill."

People are very different. You can only generalize about averages but the normal distribution of most anything is wide.

That's great. There's something for everybody.
