@Shadoff_d Aye. Coincidentally I just found an old Germanium transistor. I'm thinking I could make a fuzz pedal.

How many people remember when integrated circuits sometimes came in these “can” packages ? (Pictured: 741 op-amp)

Definitely not a 12AT7 dual triode. Might be a pentode. 12AT7, 12AX7, 12AU7, and many others are still contemporary and used in dozens of state of the art audio preamps, EQ, line amps, guitar amps, etc. They never went away but the gear can get fairly expensive versus transistor. However, if one wants to use the soft clipping and bloom from these in audio applications, the total cost of audio engineering can be cheaper than transistor-based. For example a one-time purchase versus paying for software plug-in subscriptions over many years.

@NimraShahzadin It's a vacuum tube, used in radios in the 50s and 60s (20th Century - lol). That one might be a 12AT7. Not sure. Been awhile.

I'll bet you won't recognize this – but if you do, you've clearly got some serious expertise!

@HistorylandHQ Cobalt Chloride was my favorite name for a chemical back then. :D

Chemcraft Chemistry Set from the 1970s. Nothing says love like a real chemical set given to your unsupervised child.

@KleinBottled @thearnabsarkar @RachelVT42 @yacineMTB Coincidentally this dropped a couple hours ago. x.com/PrometheanActn…

@KleinBottled @thearnabsarkar @RachelVT42 @yacineMTB I disagree with that. I know it feels like a broken record at this point, however, the EU system of imperialist rule is inferior to the American system. I get the sense that the future is going to be bright for many nations once freed from the old system.

As someone who read Twitter's code base all the way through, including commits and random team design docs. Elon buying twitter actually saved the western world. You guys have no idea the kinds of shit that extreme ideologues were cooking up

Do you have policy doc evidence from the current administration to back your claim that it is driven by eschatology or are you merely being reactive to propaganda and worried what people think? Is that what you mean by fuel? As far as I can gather from watching this for the past 50 years, the Iran situation is being fought to weaken British imperialism global influence (endless wars, control of economic choke points), and other things in favor of an American system.

The Judeo-Christian conservatives believe in eschatology ie end-of-times and this is the fundamental reason the war is being fought. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (the Lubavitcher Rebbe) reportedly told a young Benjamin Netanyahu in the early 1990s that he would be Israel's last leader before the Messiah. I didn't have to worry about end-of-times when the woke left was around.

The current open weight models don’t really matter long term, what always always matter the most is high quality data. Nvidia releasing SFT and RL data is much more impactful than the Chinese releasing weights.

@alphafox @OCpatriot_ I started at 300.

@OCpatriot_ I didnt know they made a 450 baud.

How fast was your first modem? Mine was a 2400 baud Hayes:

@theSiliconSiren @commodoreofcl I wish someone would do the Atari 800 including the digital OUTPUTS it had in the 4 joystick ports.

After months of waiting, my Commodore 64 Ultimate has finally arrived… and yes, I bought all three editions! Let’s take a quick look 👀 #commodore #c64 #commodore64 #retro #tech

@aditiitwt These always crack me up because I am usually older than that. I've yet to see one of these where, no, I'm not THAT old. ;-)

You may be old But are you this old

16 minutes is a lot to ask in the short attention span theater district but this is nice, soothing even.

@sweet_nector1 16 triodes?

No one in the whole country knows what this is

@Rohitcult_45 @elonmusk The day science fiction became fact.

@Sassafras_sv @Deke3516 @shipwreckshow Yup. And regardless of how a trial is run there are plenty of analysts capable of extracting useful information from complexity. So ideally they should release all raw data and skip the controls.

Massie wanted it released, but how it was released was the DOJs doing. The DOJ created the chaos by not redacting the victims names, redacting the perpetrators, doing a poor job putting them out, taking them back, altering things and putting them back out, putting out a bogus list of names, bindergate, the Rick roll and so on. If it was done the way that the bill stated it would have been less chaotic. Then add the lack of protections to the chaos

Justice does not require self destruction. Dang. 😬

🚨 NEW: Rubio just confirmed what they've hidden for 50 years — deindustrialization was DELIBERATE. In 1977, the CFR called it "controlled disintegration." Now Trump is ending it and the globalists at Munich are in open panic. We have the receipts. 🧾👇

@VibesDumber @VibeDrummer @unkonfined Hey, watch it you two! ;-)

@VibeDrummer @unkonfined Are you sure about that?

Do you have an alt account on 𝕏?

This keeps getting better.
