Well @Aleph(0)!? - I do believe I detect something akin to 'loyalty to the old order' in your derision of the new technology!?o_O -- Something I never thought I'd hear from someone your age!:D:D:D

Very best regards

HP Sry! Cuz now I'm going to rain on your parade! HP I say you're making big deal out of nothing cuz little xray source is really just tiny Rontgen tube with unique PSU of pyroelectric crystal! So I agree it's cool that it looks like xray version of LED but except for small size and cute PSU it's totally mature technology! HP what I don't get is you know all that and are still making a big deal over almost nothing so I say time to get over it! HP now I've got to say something else! I say they have their nerve calling it xray source when PRACTICAL endpoint PE is only 10kev! Last I heard that's called extreme ultraviolet!

HP instead of _Cool-X X-ray Generator_ I say it should be named _Cool-Aid EUV Generator_:rolleyes:
Sry for being wet blanket but someone has to bring you to your senses:rolleyes:!

Uh oh...:eek: - Been 'knocking back' the HCTZ tabs again?o_O:p

With some qualifications, correct...

---Emphasis added---

Not quite - Inasmuch as achievement of said space economy owes to development of the novel power supply/emitter:)

No problems! I've never been one to expect a leopard to change its spots:D

I wonder...are you two up early...or up late?
Then again, with no sunlight in Minnesota, in February, you might not be sure.:D

But srsly, I've had a question on my mind lately and will probably send a PM to HP soon.
Keep up the good work.;)

Speaking for myself, I call it 'Sighted Non-24':eek: -OR- '20/20 Non-24', if you will;):D -- As for @Aleph(0)? I expect said 'pattern versatility' is merely a symptom of YOA=24:p

Hey! -- It reached the upper 50's (F) today! Crazy Al's gotta be 'loving' this!;):rolleyes:

But srsly, I've had a question on my mind lately and will probably send a PM to HP soon.
Waiting with bated breath:cool:

@#12 ,@Aleph(0)

Please be advised that I am not ignoring you!o_O:eek: -- I'm experiencing intermittent connection difficulties owed to scheduled maintenance on my CS -- I expect to back to 'normal' by this evening (at the latest) -- Many thanks for your patience!:cool:

Most sincerely
HP:)

@Aleph(0) , the link you show goes to the AAC contributers forum.
You do not have permission to view that forum.

HP with hidden forums I can't access and PMs for your eyes only, you've got me feeling like a kid not allowed to stay up for late move:(:p!

HP That's what I mean! It's just miniaturized version of mature technology! Also pyroelectricty is no newer than piezoelectricty so that's mature technology too:rolleyes:!

Not quite - Inasmuch as achievement of said space economy owes to development of the novel power supply/emitter:)
HP I'll give you that it's a _novel_ application for old technology but you're acting like it's a big breakthrough or something:confused::rolleyes:?

Patience! As I said 'tis early days!:)
HP I say it's handy for portable flea pwr EUV source but it has nowhere to go technology-wise!

No problems! I've never been one to expect a leopard to change its spots:D
Look who's talking:rolleyes:!

loose the leetspeak! ...K?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
HP Sry! It's just my bad habits:oops:

Only for two more months:D!
 
When you show me a skill completely unrelated to electronics, and I have a need for that skill, I will ask you in a place not public on an electronics website.
---Emphasis added---

Hmmm... Where @Aleph(0) is concerned: aircraft, hadron colliders and molecular biology come to mind - 'tho I don't suppose any of those can be said to be "completely unrelated to electronics" -- but then what can in this 'day and age'?...;)

Hey @#12 -- FWIW Aleph is actually picking on me because I've 'shamed' her into working on the tutorial during her 'vacation':oops::D

@Aleph(0) Re: Your views on the pyroelectric x-ray sources... -- Killjoy!:mad::p

Best regards

@#12 I say one of us needs a sense of humor:p!

HP you're on thin ice considering you're not the the social butterfly on here lately either! So I know you're working on EHT meter but how long does it take to assemble a pair of resistors and analog meter to chassis:rolleyes:!

've set all blog entries' view permissions to 'all visitors' -- So - there should be no further difficulties of that 'caste' -- Please let me know!:)
HP It's working for me but I still say it's lame to have to use separate blog entry for each glossary term:rolleyes: The're has GOT to be a better way!

HP I say dox not lest ye be doxed:rolleyes:!

Might I suggest that my 'off-line life' includes matters/issues unrelated to my on-line activity?:rolleyes:

If you've a suggestion - let's hear it!?:cool:

Nothing like a dose of your own medicine, wot?:D

HP I'm sry but cuz of DQ36 I'm having to go hold hands of lame _chicken littles_ at the consortium:mad::rolleyes:

So I'm saying it right here so ppl can know I'm not just skating on tutorial:rolleyes:! Also, I hope one of those crybabies sees this cuz I don't care:mad:! So they can't interpret ephemeris, they have no comprehension of statistical analysis (which means they don't get that risk necessarily increases as uncertainty area contracts b4 exclusion of Earth) and they refuse to think! So that's like you say _trifecta of evil_ that I have to _exorcise_:rolleyes:! So anyhow at cumulative P(re) factor of > 741 times below background which is PS rating of -2.87 (PS rating source is JPL @ 28 Feb 2017) (and much less risk per Neodys) all based on just FIVE DAYS ARC, consortium idiots are crying Armageddon is neigho_O:rolleyes:! HP I say common theme is Anglo tradition of math numptyism:rolleyes: So I'm asked to help calm them down to maybe prevent lemming response (like Heaven's Gateo_O:rolleyes:) in case subsequent DOUs shorten odds b4 elimination:rolleyes:

Now I'm going to say something! Apart from zero math proficiency, real problem isn't minor planets at all! It's just plain thanatophobia! HP you know I had my _little crisis_ abt all that at age of 13! And ever since I'm more comfortable with mortality than with corporeality! But a lot of those big babies are more than twice my age:confused:!

So you can just tack sign on my door here saying: _Gone babysitting_:rolleyes:

And I respectfully submit that you don't 'have' to go anywhere!:rolleyes:

Now where would anyone get that idea!?o_O:confused::p

And for all that you allow them to manipulate (i.e. 'guilt') you into speaking engagements:rolleyes:

I can vouch for that!:cool:

Even was a VI realized It twoulden't attain to the doubious 'dignity' of an ELE -- tho' I daresay at 20GT TNT Eqv it'd make quite a mess! --- For example was it to 'alight' in my back yard:

Note: The ordnance simulator is reasonably accurate applied to 'mid-angle' impact events as regards blast and thermal effects...

20 PSI OVP AB Radius (i.e. 'blow-down range') ≈ 45 statute miles...
4.6 PSI OVP AB Radius (i.e. 'knock down range') ≈ 118 statute Miles
TR Radius (i.e. 'conflagration range') ≈ 420 Statute miles

So... suspended particles with corollary crop failure, etc, notwithstanding -- it wouldn't likely extinguish our spices -- That said I suspect it'd surely be the ruin of every LLoyd In London!:D:Do_O -- I know!:oops: No Improv for me:(

Note that energy yields corollary to purely terrestrial volcanism are calculated quite differently than those attending impact events and nuclear explosions -- For instance the Krakatoa eruption's oft cited yield of 200MT TNT is roughly equivalent to that delivered by an impactor vested with kinetic energy in the 'neighborhood' of 50 GT tnt Eqv (A factor of 250!? WTF?! Do I hear you say?) -- Well... Ya see, it's down to energy vs effect... (not that anyone knows the difference anymore:rolleyes:)

Post continued following image...

DQ36.png


Hey aleph -- inasmuch as you chose to place the circumstances of your 'absenteeism' before the public -- common courtesy dictates expansion of abbreviations/acronyms:

'DQ36' refers to the 'near-earth object' (provisionally designated) 2017 DQ36

JPL (in the context of Aleph's post) = Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Sentry Risk Table

NeoDys = The University of Pisa's Near Earth Object Dynamic Site's (Risk Page)

PS = Palermo Scale (A logarithmic index to VI realization probability relative to background 'risk')

P(re) -- Literally "Probability (radius Earth)" -- IOW the calculated probability of VI realization...

DOU -- A reference to the IAU's Minor Planet Electronic Circular Daily Orbit Update


Do I hear someone say "who gives a rat's backside"? -- Fair enough! - Howbeit you cannot reprimand us for unexpanded brevity:p


Very best regards
HP:)

HP I say it's a case of _courtesy is cheap but it ain't free_:rolleyes:

And now with odds down to 1 in 2.8M and falling (pun intended:p) following today's arc extension, I sure wish I held stock in manufacturer of Depends;)

ROFLOL:D!

I know!:oops: No Improv for me:(
HP I say don't be too sure:cool:!

WTF?! Do I hear you say?)
HP you know I know that but GAWD that used to gall me b4 I learned abt discrepancy in yield assessment method! I mean anyone could see Krakatoa was a hell of a lot more than 4 Tzar bombs even neglecting _inverse square law_!

HP another totally different thing that grates on me is reckoning big explosions in terms of Hiroshima bombing! I mean why!? It's just stupid to compare natural disasters (like K-T impact or caldera eruption) to 15kt _pop gun_ :confused:! For perspective denominating big explosions in terms of Tzar bombs (which was equivalent to detonation of 57MT TNT ) would make so much more sense!

So to compare just think on this:
Energy of K-T impact = 1.7 million Tsar Bombs
Energy of K-T impact = 6.67 Billion _Little Boy_ bombso_O:rolleyes:

I'll be absent for approximately one week -- Following which I expect to return refreshed and ready to work!:cool:
HP So that means you need to doodle in your coloring book for awhile to get over my dereliction of duty:p?

So anyhow I'll try to stay in touch _on the wing_ expect my return two days after DQ36 is removed from table or in 10 days whichever happens first:)
 
And now with odds down to 1 in 2.8M and falling (pun intended:p) following today's arc extension, I sure wish I held stock in manufacturer of Depends;)
If your signature is any indication I've no doubt you'll be loads of reassurance to the anablephobico_O:p

I have seen the dark universe yawning, Where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or luster or name
