China has made a major breakthrough in microchip manufacturing, undermining US President Joe Biden’s efforts to block Beijing from accessing the most advanced technology. Chips in Huawei’s latest smartphone appear to have been made using cutting-edge techniques developed in Europe, using technology that is now subject to trade restrictions. Research company TechInsights analysed the Mate 60’s main processor chip and concluded it was manufactured using what is known as EUV, or extreme ultraviolet lithography. EUV is an advanced manufacturing technique used to etch a chip’s inner workings into its silicon.[...]

The Kirin 9000S chip in its new Mate 60 appears to use a so-called “7 nanometre” process node – a measure of how small, and thus powerful, a chip’s circuitry is.[...]

Current US sanctions prohibit China from importing manufacturing equipment for process nodes smaller than 14nm, a technology that was considered cutting-edge in 2015.[...]

“SMIC’s technology advances are on an accelerated trajectory.”

Bigger Angrier Men

So, the landsknecht, and their signature weapons! in this post i'll mainly be focussing on one of these weapons in particular, the doppelhander (or zweihander, or bidenhander, or montante, or spadone, they're all basically the same weapons for all intents and purposes)

(some original examples)

so, features!

firstly, as it pertains to the landsknchect, these swords had very very long grips(over 50cm including the pommel), large often spherical pommels, or perhaps scent stopper style, very wide curving guards, often with side rings to offer additional hand protection

(more examples)

and now the business end! these blades were often well over 120cm long, and had several interesting and unusual features, firstly, a blunt portion at the bottom of the blade that can be grabbed and gripped in numerous ways without paying much attention (you can grip a sharp blade without too much trouble but it's rather difficult to do without cutting yourself in the heat of the moment) this allowed our big murderous bastards to more easily control the tip of their weapons and made them much more suited to close combat against single opponents, the a smidge further up the blade we have the parrying flukes. these we don't know exactly how they would have been useful but there are a few good guesses; it acts as a forward guard when gripping the blade (half swording), it acts as a way to trap blades in binding and winding, or simply aesthetics. most likely a combination of all three and several other factors i've probably forgotten. lastly, the wavy blades; this is another thing where we do not know why. it may be that it offers additional cutting performance, or some other benefit, but it would take considerably longer to manufacture and be much more fragile (remember, real sword blades break. they might chip, have notches cut into them, have chucks crack out of the edge or even just straight up shatter). it might have been a prestige thing, which is absolutely in character for the half crazed dress sense usually exhibited by these people, and also, ive you've ever been lucky enough to see one in the sunlight, the name of the blade style, flamberge (flaming), becomes rather apparent, as the entire blade lights up in shifting patterns that seem to ripple like silver fire.

aigt so anatomy aside, how do you use the bastard? we have several iberian (spanish/portugese) and i believe a german and italian manual on how to use these, and most of the techniques appear to revolve around an individual idea, which is as follows. large continuous motions, usually swapping between the false and true edge. these actions begin and end in positions where it is easy to flow into another movement that doesn't necessarily seem to flow from the previous one, quickly and easily, but the user can also choke up and use the sword more like a short polearm for single combat, or against heavier armour. this leads us to a conclusion, which is that these swords were explicitly designed to even the score against multiple opponents by creating a large zone of area denial where to oppenents cannot go for fear of having their brains beaten out of their ears (if wearing a lighter helmet), or just being bisected. the idea is during these large movements you use the momentum of the sword to turn quickly to face new opponents continuously (spinning, basically) and so is an ideal bodyguards weapon. also, from personal experience, having been part of a reconstructed scenario where 3 people armed with longswords had to fight a montante wielder, it's fucking terrifying, the thing comes around unbelievably quickly and hits like a truck so it's rather hard to parry if your unlucky enough to have to do so. more often that not it just collapsed the structure of the parry and lead to a hit being scored. great fun to use though, very satisfying.

that'll be it today, and i'll continue the next post with the theme of even biggerer angrierer men, or possibly a sword review??????????? it's one ive had a while don't worry im not spending all my money. i'm also going back to my university this Sunday, so posts might be a tad more infrequent and also potentially much drunker, but i might also be open to doing some live streams on youtube or twitch if that's something you lot'd wanna see, it'd probably be me getting steadily drunker and answering questions sooooo just lemme know?

May your edges stay sharp, and your points true!

Gavin Hyde

Gavin Hyde, a former performer, led a life on the edge, dabbling in the underworld with his acrobatic skills. Hydra, always seeking exceptional talents, discovered him when his covert activities caught their attention. Intrigued by his prowess in sharpshooting and gymnastics, Hydra saw the potential for a deadly operative.

Kidnapping Gavin, they subjected him to a rigorous mind-wiping procedure, erasing his past and molding him into a blank canvas. Injecting false memories and manipulating his instincts, Hydra forged a new identity—a perfect assassin with no allegiance but to them.

Trained in an isolated facility, Gavin excelled in various combat techniques, becoming a master of disguise and infiltration. His former life a distant blur, he emerged as Hydra's lethal asset, a sharpshooter with unparalleled skills and an unsettling lack of connection to his own past.

The Assassin's life

Immersed in his new life as a Hydra assassin, Gavin Hyde operates in the shadows, executing covert missions with deadly precision. Trained in cutting-edge weaponry and martial arts, he became a master of infiltration, seamlessly blending into any environment. Hydra's manipulative programming ensures his unwavering loyalty, as memories of his former self remain elusive.

Gavin's assignments vary from high-profile political assassinations to espionage and sabotage. His sharpshooting skills make him a ghostly threat from a distance, while his proficiency in gymnastics enables him to navigate through the most secure environments undetected. Hydra's influence extends beyond training, providing him with state-of-the-art gadgets and technology to accomplish his missions.

His encounters are marked by a cold and calculated demeanor, devoid of personal connection. Despite the absence of genuine emotions, occasional flashes of suppressed memories serve as haunting reminders of a life he can't fully grasp. The internal struggle between his manufactured identity and the fragments of a forgotten past adds a layer of complexity to his existence. Each mission deepens the enigma of Gavin Hyde, the Hydra assassin.

The loyal soldier

As a Hydra assassin, Gavin Hyde exhibits a chilling blend of precision and detachment. Trained to suppress personal emotions, his demeanor is stoic and calculated. Cold and efficient, he approaches each mission with a clinical focus, executing tasks with ruthless proficiency.

Gavin's loyalty to Hydra is unwavering, a result of the manipulated memories and programming that bind him to their cause. He operates in the shadows, a master of discretion, and his interactions are marked by a lack of personal connection. Social nuances and empathy are sacrificed for the sake of his lethal efficiency.

Despite the manufactured exterior, occasional glimpses of internal conflict surface as suppressed memories try to resurface. These moments of vulnerability are swiftly pushed aside as Gavin embraces his role as Hydra's operative. The struggle between his artificially constructed identity and the mysterious fragments of his past adds an intriguing layer to his personality, creating a Hydra assassin with a complex internal landscape.

The awakening

Gavin's awakening begins with a series of fragmented memories that Hydra's mind-wiping process failed to entirely erase. Flashes of his former life and emotions start to resurface, triggering a growing sense of internal conflict. A chance encounter with an individual from his past, someone outside Hydra's influence, acts as a catalyst for self-discovery.

As these memories intensify, Gavin begins to question the authenticity of his current existence and the morality of Hydra's operations. The realization that he is a pawn in a larger, malevolent game sparks a desire for autonomy and redemption. The emotional turmoil, combined with a growing aversion to Hydra's control, fuels his determination to break free.

Strategically exploiting his skills and knowledge of Hydra's operations, Gavin orchestrates a daring escape. He leverages his sharpshooting abilities, gymnastic prowess, and a keen understanding of Hydra's vulnerabilities to navigate their highly secured facilities. Along the way, he encounters allies, individuals sympathetic to his plight or former associates with their own scores to settle against Hydra.

The final breakthrough comes when Gavin uncovers the truth about his forced transformation and the erasure of his past. Armed with newfound clarity, he confronts Hydra's leaders, exposing their manipulation and defying their control. A high-stakes showdown ensues, culminating in Gavin's escape from the clutches of Hydra. Now a fugitive, Gavin Hyde embraces his true identity and sets out to rebuild his life.

The life of an ex-assasin

Haunted by the guilt of his dark past as a Hydra assassin, Gavin Hyde finds himself unable to fully escape the weight of the lives he took and the suffering he inflicted. Unable to return to his old life, the specter of his actions casts a perpetual shadow over any hope for a conventional existence.

Embracing the role of an ex-Hydra assassin, Gavin becomes a master of disguise and anonymity. He navigates the shadows, using his skills to stay hidden from both Hydra and those seeking vengeance for his past deeds. The world may see him as a ghost, a phantom in the periphery, but Gavin cannot elude the memories that relentlessly pursue him.

Driven by a profound desire for redemption, he takes on covert missions of a different kind—helping those in need, thwarting criminal enterprises, and using his lethal expertise for a just cause. Each act of altruism becomes a small step towards absolution, yet the guilt remains an unshakable companion.

The struggle to reconcile his past actions with his present endeavors becomes Gavin's ongoing journey. The shadows may be his refuge, but they also serve as a constant reminder of the darkness he seeks to escape.

Fueled by the weight of his past and the guilt that accompanies it, Gavin Hyde transforms into a solitary figure, a lone wolf in the unforgiving wilderness of his own existence. Refusing to trust or work with others, he becomes an enigmatic force, navigating the shadows with a stoic determination.

Gavin's isolation is both a shield and a self-imposed penance. He avoids forming connections, fearing the potential consequences of entangling others in his tumultuous journey. His commitment to solitude is a defense mechanism against the vulnerability that comes with trust, a lesson learned through the betrayals and manipulations of his Hydra past.

As a lone wolf, Gavin relies solely on his own instincts and skills. He disappears into the anonymity of the world, taking on covert missions with surgical precision. The echoes of his former life as a Hydra assassin resonate in his every move, a constant reminder of the darkness he seeks to distance himself from.

Despite the isolation, Gavin's internal struggle persists. The memories of his deeds and the quest for redemption weigh heavily on his shoulders. In the solitude he has chosen, he battles not only external threats but the demons within, attempting to find solace and purpose in a world that has forever changed him.

Revolutionary X-ray microscope unveils sound waves deep within crystals

Researchers at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Stanford University, and Denmark Technical University have designed a cutting-edge X-ray microscope capable of directly observing sound waves at the tiniest of scales—the lattice level within a crystal. These findings, published last week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could change the way scientists study ultrafast changes in materials and the resulting properties. "The atomic structure of crystalline materials gives rise to their properties and associated 'use-case' for an application," said one of the researchers, Leora Dresselhaus-Marais, an assistant professor at Stanford and SLAC. "The crystalline defects and atomic scale displacements describe why some materials strengthen while others shatter in response to the same force. Blacksmiths and semiconductor manufacturing have perfected our ability to control some types of defects, however, few techniques today can image these dynamics in real-time at the appropriate scales to resolve how those the distortions connect to the bulk properties."

Established in the early 2000s, the Carmine family manufacturing business had been a powerhouse even before the Great War, garnering lucrative weapons contracts with the government and profiting from civilians stockpiling during the escalating economic stresses. The apocalypse was a minor set-back, and 200-some years later, Carmine weapons are the most trusted source for anything a Wastelander could need to kill someone - from ammo to auto-turrets.

Carmilla Carmine, the current family matriarch and one of the most respected Overlords of the Wastelands, had set her sights on a new resource to provide even more firepower to the masses and caps to line her coffers: the cutting-edge technology of the Army of the Righteous. 

After their exterminations, Wastelanders had learned to give those areas a wide berth, as the Army seeded the area with traps before leaving. Any supplies that weren’t outright destroyed were likely to have a lethal surprise for any scavengers foolhardy enough to try and comb the area. Carmilla spent years studying and analyzing anything she could regarding the Army of the Righteous, and Carmine Weapons Manufacturing has developed secret techniques to go through the No Man’s Land left behind and gather precious resources like broken or abandoned weapons and armor.

Just fixed a wonderful flannel duvet cover that had torn along a seam ages ago. Why? Because the very heavy weight fabric was closed with a single stitch and separately serged edges. It ought to have been a serged hemming stitch to distribute the tension.

So I went over the entire measly single with a fully closed hemming, which was a lot more thread and exactly the corner the manufacturer cut. Then took three minutes to pop it over the duvet, easy peasy because I was taught the proper technique at a young age. Fresh sheets! Warm blankie!

If you had to permanently erase an spn character from the narrative --- and I'm talking major characters here, who would it be and why?

*cough* jack *cough*

Also, hazel? That's mighty specific and I am confused.

I think it's gotta be Chuck for me. Not Chuck Shurley the prophet or even Chuck as the distant hands-off God in Season 11, but Chuck as the writer of the story in season 15—the puppet master who's been pulling the strings all along. I think it's an objectively bad plot point that ruins a lot of the core themes that Supernatural was built on and what made it so well loved by so many people. Supernatural is in a big way about free will and freedom—the possibilities of the open road, being on the outskirts of society, defiance of nature and nurture, choosing who we love and whether or not we embrace that love, found family/the family you choose for yourself... To take all of that and twist it into something so nihilistic... to say that none of it was ever real or meant anything... it's a bad twist, manufactured as a cheap means of "raising the stakes" yet again. It's just bad, and it's ugly, and it's stupid, and it also comes off as vindictive. So yeah I would 1000% erase Chuck as the final Big Bad a million times over.

Glass domes have long captured the imagination of architects and engineers alike. From the grandeur of historical landmarks to the sleek modernity of contemporary designs, these transparent marvels evoke a sense of wonder and possibility. DTech Corporation takes this fascination to new heights with their innovative approach to glass dome construction. By leveraging advanced materials and manufacturing techniques, they have overcome traditional limitations, creating domes that are not only visually stunning but also durable, energy-efficient, and structurally sound.

One of the most striking examples of DTech's prowess is the Glass Dome Plaza, a multi-purpose complex that serves as both a commercial hub and a cultural landmark. Rising majestically amidst the urban landscape, its glass dome encapsulates a vibrant indoor environment, flooded with natural light and teeming with life. From bustling cafes to serene botanical gardens, the plaza offers a sensory experience like no other, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces.

But DTech's innovations extend beyond grand public structures to redefine the very fabric of residential living. The concept of the glass building, once relegated to the realm of science fiction, is now a tangible reality thanks to their groundbreaking designs. Imagine waking up to panoramic views of the city skyline, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass walls that seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors. With DTech's expertise in energy-efficient design, these glass homes offer more than just aesthetics—they provide a sustainable living solution that minimizes environmental impact without compromising on comfort or style.

However, the true genius of DTech Corporation lies not only in their ability to create individual marvels but also in their holistic approach to architectural design. Recognizing that every building is part of a larger ecosystem, they place a strong emphasis on integrating their structures harmoniously into their surroundings. This philosophy is perhaps most evident in their home facade designs, where form meets function in perfect synergy.

Gone are the days of monotonous facades that fade into the background. DTech's facade designs are bold statements, reflecting the unique character of each building while enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Whether it's a sleek minimalist design or an intricate pattern inspired by nature, every facade is meticulously crafted to captivate the imagination and inspire admiration.

Moreover, DTech prioritizes sustainability in all aspects of their designs, including facade materials and construction techniques. By harnessing the power of renewable energy sources and incorporating green technologies, they ensure that their buildings not only stand as symbols of architectural excellence but also as beacons of environmental responsibility.

Indeed, the glass dome structures and home facade designs envisioned by DTech Corporation represent more than just architectural achievements—they embody a vision for a better, more sustainable future. In a world where urbanization is on the rise and natural resources are increasingly strained, these innovations offer a glimmer of hope, demonstrating that technology and design can coexist harmoniously to create spaces that enrich our lives without depleting our planet's resources.

As we stand on the brink of a new era in architecture, let us look to DTech Corporation as pioneers and visionaries, leading the way towards a brighter tomorrow.
