지난번 이해찬이 과연 민주화의 정신을 끝까지 배신하지 않았나에 대한 이야기에서 언급했지만 전 민주당이 당으로서 민주화 정신을 배신하지 않은 당인가에 대한 큰 의문이 있어요. 늘 '이정도 했으면 됐지 끝까지 할 필요 있을까'같은 자세를 취하기 때문에. 대통령 되고 노동자들에게 노동운동이나 열심히 하라는 대통령 뉴스와 성평등 개헌에 대해 부정적인 국회의장 뉴스를 하루에 보니 현기증이 나려고 하네요.

I should do a production run of my analog-toolkit, my small STM32G431 dev-board. It comes in handy again and again, I have broken out most useful peripherals, USB, PD, UART, I2C, HRTIM, TIMs, Op-Amps, Comperators, the DAC and of course a bunch of ADCs (with on board capacitor, pull-up, pull-down and biasing options).

I just recently used its ADC and comperator in parallel to measure the time between two tigger events. The ADC was reading the averaged analog rail on which the trigger event occurred, setting an internal DAC to the negative comperator pin, with the the analog rail going to the positive comperator pin. The comperator was then set to start and stop a timer. Basically an automatic trigger voltage was measured and set via the adc, while high speed trigger events triggered the comperator, handy!

Assembling a few this evening by hand, a friend asked me for one. I should really have a few assembled, giving them out to friends, like with the OtterPills!

RE: mastodon.social/@existentialco

This reminds me, that Segways, while being rather silly form of micromobility, where completely harmless compared to eg. AI. There was (and perhaps still is) Segway ban in downtown Prague. While there were arguable some reasons for the ban, they were still mostly harmless... compared to the cars, in the first place, and first of all... if only all our problems were like Segways: No covid, no war, no Trump, no AI...

I want the era of maybe dumb, but mostly harmless inventions back...

There's this movie called Devil wears Prada that is getting a sequel this year. I kind of liked the original one, it's a movie that doesn't require you to think much, the cast is good, so...

But now, some youtube channel actually tries to compare the color grading of the new one and calls the DWP2 "Lifeless".. which, if you see the included screenshot, is obvious why.

And they were actually asking why is this happening, why almost every new movie has this "Netflix color profile" - and I think there's the answer - the home box and streaming is such a huge percentage of the revenue they don't have to care about visuals - everyone will stream / view it on the LCD / OLED screen with maximum saturation for the image to be "likeable".

Back to the B&W movies, please 🙂 (writing this while downloading Otto e mezzo )

4 couples of tiles showing frames from 2 movies - Devil wears Prada 1 and 2, showing the difference between the color grading of these two movies - the Devil wears Prada 1 being punchy, glamorous looking (as one would expect from a "fashion world background" movie), the other one is grayish and flat.

@: 돌고래 진짜 싱기... 제주 발령받아 잠시 살때 날 좋은 계절엔 주말마다 딸내미 데리고 배낚시를 다녔는데... 돌고래를 만났어요. 삐죽 고개 내밀고 한참 보더니 쏙 들어간... 선장님이 보시더니 어린애 보고 갔으니 좀 있다 떼거지로 올겁니다. 말 끝나기 무섭게 돌고래 열댓마리가 몰려와서 애가 젤 잘보이는 곳에서 공중제비 물총쏘기...한 5분을 그렇게 인사하고 가더라구요. 평생 첨이자 마지막일 진귀한 경험을 했습니다.

"The public is not on the side of the thugs. ...

But hatred of and brutality toward people of color are fundamental to Trump’s identity. He & his minions have responded to revulsion against their ethnic cleansing efforts by denying the reality of that revulsion, claiming that all the protesters & resisters are paid activists, & by doubling down on the brutality."

"And they will create these perfect cities in Greenland and other places, not making this up. And then, of course, what ties together other folks and ties together all these people is white supremacy. That's what ties together Russell Vought. That's what ties together Stephen Miller. That's what ties together Elon Musk. At the end of the day, power must be in the hands of the white man."

"The sin and stain of racism within white Christian nationalism is but another piece of rotten fruit from a long-diseased tree. It is in this history that we see how white supremacy is—and always has been—intimately intertwined with idolizing power, fear, and violence in the calls to make the United States a Christian nation."
