Based on some rough calculations… no. A precision of 0.0000000000001 ohms is 1000x less than the resistance of 1um of copper with a diameter of 1cm (A piece of wire 10,000x wider than it is long). I’m sure a few molecules of air between your contact points would cause more noise in the measurement.

This is exactly how high precision resistors are calibrated. A laser is usually used to notch out bits of the resistor to tune it after it’s made.

You could get exactly 6.1854838709677 for an instantaneous moment by heating up a 6ohm resistor.

Ah right. DRAM also requires a capacitor instead though, and I don’t know how you’d represent that with crabs. Maybe it’s possible.

It also equates 1 bit to 1 logic gate, which I’m not sure it’s possible to create memory using that few gates unless it’s read-only. All memory cell circuits I know of require at least 2 logic gates.

Do you by chance have a PhD in food science?

They were paid basically minimum wage, so they weren’t treated the best. They were doing important work, and I personally have a lot of respect for it, but it was (and still is) an uphill battle against sexism.

I’m not sure of the timeframe of this, but it could be referring to the time when calculations were done by women by hand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Computers

When I think of digital signal processing I think of things like audio and Fourier transforms. In my experience there’s quite a bit to graphics programming that’s different from that. A lot of shader code is linear algebra / matrix math, and physics equations for light. There’s also a lot of thinking about memory layouts and how to reuse calculations as much as possible.

I say this as someone who does a lot of graphics programming in my job but failed “Feedback Control Systems” the first time through.

Finally, I’m almost done!
Part 17 is as much work as part 1-16
Fuuuuu
