photo That’s why for more than a decade now, many of our company’s chip sets have included an analog, hardware-based random-number generator. The problem is that its analog circuitry squanders power. Also, it’s hard to keep that analog circuitry working properly as we improve our fabrication processes. That’s why we have now developed a new and entirely digital system that allows a microprocessor to produce a copious stream of random values without those difficulties. Soon it will be coming to a processor near you.

Manufacturing at home!

Sometime ago I was fascinated about Maker-Bot 3d printer.

Unfortunately there was lack of intuitive (for me) software to design 3d models … until now:

tadam

OpensCAD

So to design a pawn I’ve to write a little piece of code like:

union(){
cube([40,40,4],true);
cylinder(40,15,5);
translate([0,0,40])sphere(10);
}
and OpensCAD will render it for me.

Of course project can be exported to STL file which can be “rendered” into the real world using MakerBot.

I start gathering funds to get my 3d printer … :D

link Pierwszy procesor probabilistyczny

Być może już niedługo zamiast symulować, będzie można obliczenia statystyczne i rachunek prawdopodobieństwa wykonywać bezpośrednio. Powstała właśnie firma, Lyric Semiconductor, stworzyła procesor całkiem nowego typu: probabilistyczny.

Zadziwiające maleństwo, testy funkcjonalności czas zacząć :D
