what’s happening?

Gettin hotter, innit?

Our wiener dog does the same thing. She just aligns herself with the nook between my legs and torso when I’m on my side. For everyone who thinks a wiener dog couldn’t take up much space on a bed, you’re right technically, but if you try to create space she will take it back. Always end up on the edge.

Yeah basically. It doesn’t try to record a single laser pulse interacting with the scene in one shot, but rather slightly adjusts its shutter offset to record another identical pulse in a slightly later position. Since the pulses are basically the same each time, the light will interact the same way with the stationary scene and you can reconstruct the movie from there. You can watch videos by searching 1 trillion FPS camera since that was how it was labeled by pop-science at the time.

Is this like that one that was able to film photons in slow by just filming a very short laser pulse at a slightly different time each frame? That was a cool concept, I’ll have to look more at this one

That’s awesome. Not too many things we own today can appreciate in monetary value to reflect the personal value we got out of them. Though I suspect the personal value can never really be quantified for you.

You still play any of them? Have a favorite?

I feel if they know that this 100km collider can uncover 95% of the secrets of physics then it’s barely an inconvenience to build the 105km collider instead and discover the remaining 5%.

Hmm, that’s a new theory I haven’t heard. It sounds pretty plausible so I’ll be interested to see if it plays out like that.

Ahh, fair enough. Missed that bit

I feel like they’d have made more money by licensing their patent to Apple rather than trying to sell a watch for a ridiculous $999 price tag. I’m not saying they were wrong for their patent lawsuit, and it’s nice to see that small companies can still win, but I just don’t see this early product getting enough sales for them to profit.
