457: Rubber Duck Phase Cancellation

Published: Aug. 17, 2023, 11 p.m.

Chris and Elecia chat about their ongoing efforts to create and learn. Then they answer some listener questions.\xa0

Duck quacks do echo but the echoes seem to align in phase so that there is no interruption making the echo sounds like an extension of the quack (Mythbusters episode in which Jamie says \u201cQuack, damn you!\u201d)

Elecia continues to work on Making Embedded Systems, 2nd Edition. The early release copy is available on the O\u2019Reilly Learning System.

Classpert is offering an asynchronous cohort for Elecia\u2019s Making Embedded Systems course.\xa0 You'd be going through the class with others and there will be discussions and mentor (and Elecia\u2019s) help on the Discord. No live classes but you get access to the best bits of the previous live classes. Class starts in September.

Tickets are on sale for the tenth annual Hackaday Supercon is Nov 3-5, 2023 in Pasadena, CA. Someone there will be giving out stickers. More details to follow on that front.\xa0

Elecia is enjoying OrigamibyBoice Crease Pattern Class YouTube series. (It is a prereq for The Plant Psychologist\u2019s Origami Design Class.)

Last week\u2019s newsletter (sign up here!) had tidbits about learning the Kalman filter. Some of that came from Elecia\u2019s blog post about it, some were fresh.\xa0

There doesn\u2019t seem to be a good introduction to semantic webs in linguistics. Here is a too-dense article about Semantic Maps as Metrics on Meaning from a Linguistics Discovery Journal.
