Chanbara (チャンバラ).
Those movies are "all the same". A quasi lone superhuman samurai with a good inside but painful problems helping out random people, mostly villagers in trouble and bitches in debt.

Synthetic biological circuit Updated +Created
An artificial metabolic pathway using synthetic biology technology.
Computer architecture Updated +Created
The term loosely refers to certain layers of the computer abstraction layers hierarchy, usually high level hardware internals like CPU pipeline, caching and the memory system. Basically exactly what gem5 models.

Liquid helium Updated +Created
4 K. Enough for to make "low temperature superconductors" like regular metals superconducting, e.g. the superconducting temperature of aluminum if 1.2 K.
Contrast with liquid nitrogen, which is much cheaper but only goes to 77K.

Cryogenic electron microscopy, which was developped in the 70's.
Davisson-Germer experiment Updated +Created
E Ink Updated +Created
Electronic Ink such as that found on Amazon Kindle is the greatest invention ever made by man.
Once E Ink reaches reasonable refresh rates to replace liquid crystal displays, the world will finally be saved.
It would allow Ciro Santilli to spend his entire life in front of a screen rather in the real world without getting tired eyes, and even if it is sunny outside.
Ciro stopped reading non-code non-news a while back though, so the current refresh rates are useless, what a shame.
OMG, this is amazing: getfreewrite.com/
Exponentiation functional equation Updated +Created
We define this as the functional equation:
It is a bit like cauchy's functional equation but with multiplication instead of addition.

A Jacquard loom in action by NationalMuseumsScotland (2016)
Source. The lack of audio is unsettling!
This article gives an idea of how this kind of biological experiment feels like to a software engineer who has never done any biology like Ciro Santilli.
Quantum field theory lecture by Tobias Osborne (2017) Updated +Created
This is a bit "formal hocus pocus first, action later". But withing that category, it is just barely basic enough that 2021 Ciro can understand something.
