IAU designated constellations by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Cover up the entire sky in a compatible way with the traditional constellations. They are also very square, the boundaries consisting only of vertical and horizontal lines on the sphere.
Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
AMO is a slightly more general area than condensed matter physics, including related phenomena with smaller numbers atoms and optics. The two terms are however sometimes used as synonyms. The term AMO has gained wide usage and acceptability, see e.g.:
If Ciro had had greater foresight, this might have been what he studied at university!

MusicXML by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
Higher level than Csound: describes the notes only, not the exact waveforms it seems.
Therefore also a bit harder to convert to actual sound: stackoverflow.com/questions/33775336/convert-musicxml-to-wav but possibly easier to convert to LilyPond.
Now they need to create a "MusicCSS" that gives the waveforms! :-)
The usual "let's make a standard without a reference implementation" W3C approach.

Machine learning by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
The main reason Ciro Santilli never touched it is that it feels that every public data set has already been fully mined or has already had the most interesting algorithms developed for it, so you can't do much outside of big companies.
This is why Ciro started Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games to generate synthetic data and thus reduce the cost of data.
The other reason is that it is ugly.

ELEGOO Upgraded Electronics Fun Kit by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
2022-10 ELEGOO Upgraded Electronics Fun Kit www.elegoo.com/products/elegoo-electronics-fun-kits-4-versions Manuals:
Breadboard power supply module MB‐V2:
  • Input voltage: 6.5-9v (DC) via 5.5mm x 2.1mm plug
  • Output voltage: 3.3V/5v
  • Maximum output current: 700 mA
TODO center positive or center negative?
Does not come with AC adapter, getting this one: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08ZN476FW output: DC 9V 1A Power Supply Adapter, Plug 5.5mm x 2.1mm, Center Positive,B rand: Security-01, input: AC 100-240V 50/60 Hz, Cable length: 1.8m
LEDs:
  • maximum Continuous Forward Current: 50 mA
  • under 20 mA
    • Forward Voltage: 2.0 V typical, 2.5 V max
20 mA appears to be the typical operation. So with the 2.0 V drop on 5 V power we want a resistor such that:
for the max 50 mA we would instead have 60 Ohms
Liv Flourish 2 (2018) by Ciro Santilli 35 Updated +Created
2022: saddle and seat post stolen near home. Burn in Hell, motherfuckers. Bought a seatpost marked SP342 MICROPOST ALLOY 3 30.4mm. Like this: web.archive.org/web/20220208115055/https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lightweight-Alloy-Micropost-Bike-MTB-Seatpost-25-4mm-Seat-Pin-300m-Long-Silver-/402311713393 but 30.4mm. OK, bought the Park Tool PW-5 15mm pedal wrench tool. Wasn't expensive at all.
TODO understand other markings on receipt: "18 Flourish FS W Sil XS".
The exact specs pages is lost forever. Closest one we've got is the 2020: web.archive.org/web/20200927204537/https://www.liv-cycling.com/gb/flourish-2
Frame: size: XS. Marking near bottom bracket: F/N GY17Z1327 DK: WGI GY17Z1327 F ES:BI-2339.
Seatpost: TODO diameter. Measured in store 30.4mm after original stolen, although 2020 says 30.9. 30.4mm seemed to fit OK, and measuring with ruler gives 30.5/30.6, I don't think a 30.9 can possibly fit.
Saddle: Liv Contact Comfort Plus Saddle, color golden brown. Same as this but blown: www.liv-cycling.com/gb/contact-comfort-plus-saddle-liv Actual color:

Maybe I'm an idiot and should have bought a much smaller rear wheel stand, only thought of that later, e.g.: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G7ZO3GE or www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SD7NL44
