And of course this comment has no replies and is 1500 pixels below the dozens of others marketing their paid service.
Not a valid argument.
Only until everyone else has them too

Tim can repeat himself often, but he's not bad at what he does. His content is admittedly designed for children.

It's the result of programmers too high on undergraduate math to see through their own smoke clouds.

A drop-in replacement for something that barely just finished clinical trials. Ok.

Stop suggesting people buy dangerous drugs from Alibaba. This should be bannable.

Correct.
This is the worst way to learn RF physics.

No doubt your numbers are accurate.

Customers are typically stupid, cash-rich and easily exploited.

Love to see brain genius programmers charging money for a Fourier transform of some audio.

Hmm, I don't know, how about you answer this:

Why are you such a fascist?

This is fantastic news.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen in my entire life.
Re:A googol-to-one gear ratio [video] on Saturday March 07, 2020 @02:50AM (#22510430)
If this entire assembly is at absolute zero, something is very wrong in the universe.

Sure, just do something with Fourier transforms. Okay, it's not completely accurate, but most simulations aren't anyway.

In fact, I can simulate this in text form with no floating-point or number theory issues at all. Here's the simulation:

> For every 10^100 turns of the first gear, the last gear will move about one full turn.

Re:A googol-to-one gear ratio [video] on Friday March 06, 2020 @11:52PM (#22509810)
The word you're looking for is "thermal." The bulk of the gear behaves completely classically at this temperature.
