Today met a bunch of talented people and brainstormed cool ideas.
Created a song representing our spirit, give it a listen
curious learner, and interested in building cool stuff, socratica it is.

low frequency communication needs long antenna. fractals solve a packing problem of fitting the longest shape in the smallest space.
but mostly, bc they look cool.

the internship isn’t “free” you are paying for it with your time
no cost to the company for wasting your time, no serious incentive to invest in your success
if a they don’t have the funds to pay an intern well, that strongly signals of the current state of the company
India consumed $3 billion worth of CNC machines in 2023, which includes 65% imported and 35% domestic products. This CNC machine consumption is expected to grow by 20% over the next 5–7 years.
Diffraction gratings, like many basic optical components, are expensive af to source in India because literally no one makes them here + there are 30% import taxes.

this display is in violation of the United States flag code.
when displaying the US flag with flags of other nations, they must be flown at the same height and be approximately the same size.

non visible laser yeah. that’s exactly what we’re testing rn. mornings are foggy, afternoons are rainy.
just like how RF/E-band/MMWave is scattered by rain, ours is primarily scattered by fog/smog.
our rx sensitivity is about -22 dBm, and we were averaging -13 dBm signal rx

This is not talked about enough.
There are entire orgs of 100+ people in the midwest/east coast under European VPs/CEOs that are 100% ethnically homogeneous to the point of not speaking any language besides English.
Why? Cause everyone is petrified to say out loud what they’re

textiles are an important sector of the economy. lots of very complicated technology and engineering involved. it’s not just design work.
so build schools.
extremely bullish on free-space optical communication becoming the principal connecting mode for QI.
negligible polarization scrambling in free-space will mean far higher bit rates.

Researchers at Qunnect used a 34km long fiber circuit they called the GothamQ loop under the streets of New York City to run a quantum internet test for over 2 weeks.
Using polarization-entangled photons, they operated the loop for
intellectual property sounds unconvincing to me because in practice its like playing with a connected graph of tediously precise language where if you jumble the nodes up enough, you've created new IP.
it all looks more like strategic legal maneuvering than serious creative or

@iiscbangalore
has the National Nanofabrication Center with all the equipment and for a couple thousand $ we can pay them to fabricate master gratings and replicate a couple 100 gratings. Would be cool to make and sell.

simulink is great for control systems. blocks make conceptualizing easy. i just want to iterate on a simulation. i don’t care about the details of code.
matlab isn’t valuable; the high quality toolboxes are. i want a python version of those toolboxes.

jargon sorry.
RF = radio frequency. we use this part of the electromagnetic spectrum for wireless communication
E-Band/MMWave = a subset of the radio/microwave parts of the spectrum that we currently use for a lot of 5G and point to point connectivity applications.

-ice cubes (about 20) last 4-5 hours
-water stayed cold literally from 7:45am to 5pm

-design and customisation were great
-net net, doesn’t feel different from global brands at all

The word ‘transformer’ is a power word. It reminds us to transform. To evolve. To transcend. That is only possible by continuously improving ourselves by overcoming our own limiting beliefs and especially freaky FEAR! May god bless you the strength and courage to transform.

the shape plays a role to the extent that there isn't excessive capacitative/inductive interference between bends, distorting the resonant behavior of the antenna.
but yes, you are right. some shapes have better radiation patterns, frequency selectivity depending on the

at risk of sounding like a five year old; why is reliability so hard to solve?
if it’s a matter of demonstrating performance, doesn’t extensive lifetime testing suffice?
if it’s reputation/vibes, doesn’t that also get solved over time if you are consistently undercutting
