Found an interesting course on operating systems and already the introduction got me hooked with this lovely quote. No idea if it's an actually valid quote but the message is wise: As Confucius said: ’I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.’
This could be an interesting Meetup! Unless you program bare metal embedded you always have an OS as a foundation, so, good to know something about it. :)

Some people claim all is new blah blah. Nothing's new. On system design: * Only change the system if any part as well as the system as a whole is improved. * Redesign must aim at what is wanted, not at what is not wanted. * Creativity is more important than continuous improvement. * Wisdom!

Could ISOP DC/DC converters implemented with GaN transistors be the solution for "perfect" audio amplification?

Google sucks. The EFF warns that Google's developer verification creates "a pathway to censorship." Developers in restrictive countries, anonymous open-source contributors, and privacy tool maintainers are among those most affected. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Does anybody know of any amp designs playing PDM through class D GaN FET to loudspeaker? I have just found PWM variants, like Peachtree GaN-1 or Orchad Audio's Starkrimson. Why destroy the signal through PCM? #hifi #highendaudio #electronics #GaN #amplifiers
PDM - the most perfect of signals A Pulse Density Modulated signal is a digital signal. But take off your glasses and it's analogue! The density of the 1's is kind of analogue and can therefore be played through a LP filter. I'd claim this is the reason it outperforms PCM, PWM or any other signal.
PDM straight out using GaN is coming! Peachtree's GaN-1 and Carina GaN take whatever digital input, makes PDM and feeds the GaN amplification stage. Brilliant concept and therefore brilliant sound.

Reading the Wall Street Journal this morning I just have to lash out against AI again. First the 100 hour workweek. We know the brain can't even do 8 hours by a computer in a day, all else is waste. Second, basing a business on Stars doesn't work. Third, simulations are not new. #ai
AI benefits the ones already ahead: "employees with more expertise ... are significantly better at accepting AI recommendations when they are correct and, more important, rejecting them when they are wrong." Middle management could help, instead of elevating the "stars". #AI #management
Why AI Will Widen the Gap Between Superstars and Everybody Else
Workplace tensions and resentment will rise if top performers benefit more than everyone else from artificial-intelligence tools. But there are things companies can do to level the playing field.

GaN transistors have caught my attention lately as they are not only making power supplies more efficient but also seem to have astonishing abilities in musical power amplification. So here's a comparison between Si and GaN in a 50W power supply. #GaN #GaNFET #electronics
