Helen Keller can teach us a lot about AI training. Blind and deaf, Helen didn’t realize the symbols her teacher signed had meaning.
 It wasn’t until the teacher poured cold water over Helen’s hand while *simultaneously* signing that things clicked; a multi-modal experience.

Another small project: repairing and refurbishing another old (1970) magneto-electric voltmeter... Let's start with the internals. A 1968 polystyrene capacitor? Still works... but the voltage dividers are broken. Let's try to fix them...

Thanks to one of my friend, I was fortunate enough to own the iconic 630-APL meter from Triplett. Bought for little, destroyed by the USPS, finally saved from death! Glued and repaired, now works great! The precision of the measurements of this 37-year-old meter surprised me 🤯

Do you remember the time when there was no FLASH in town? 😉 Developing code for microcontrollers without FLASH memory meant that every line of code had to be thought out a hundred times. Erasing an EPROM-based MCU with UV light took time, and neither DEBUG nor ICP was possible.. #microchip

When, after more than 20 years, you take out and clean up your old monochrome monitor, you start playing MEGABLAST on Your 8-bit Atari and suddenly, you smell something burning, followed by the sound of a small explosion... You start to wonder - could Unitra have invented 7D cinema? 😉
