The demo cards are very precious, I got one yesterday and it required lots of arm twisting, looks good all bases covered. 10uV out for a 10G TIA = 1fA.
When I was trying to guarantee 20fA in 1980 I had test boxes machined out of a solid billet of aluminum (sound familiar).

Awesome. That's one heck of a part. I *definitely* don't have the skills/time/etc to make something like that! I need to do some basic research whether I'd even need that level of sensitivity--fairly confident a simple(r) high-z preamp might do the trick as I'm pumping a goodly amount of energy into the system that should be capacitively coupled to the sense electrodes. TBD. 🙂
My first Bloom was his defense of capitalism, The Genius of the Beast, which I lugged around in the car for a while as a potential read if I were stuck somewhere. But I couldn't finish it. Bloom boasts of saving Prince's career when the latter was about to be put on the shelf. I think a somewhat dubious thing to brag about, although I have listened to some of the stuff from the man formerly known as the man formerly known as Prince, without obvious pain.
That's what I thought when reading Atlas Shrugged in my teens. Such poor writing, too.
What does it mean..."likes like Rand"?
And how is it related to (Talking Heads?) Psycho killer?
[Actually about a third of the way thru Jennifer Burns' book att.
Well slightly on topic, one of the things that a 3d printer with a bit of software can do is become a 3d oscilloscope. Not fast by any means but I suspect quite useful.
Do any of the folks here also visualize math type problems in 3d?

Today, I just read a 12 year old girl from Essex... from a gypsy community.... was tested to have an IQ higher than Einstein's and Hawkings. For her age the limit was 162. She got 100% and was thus at 162. Phew ! Wonder what her life could be like when she grows up. Impossibly brilliant? Possibly.

Who and how decides what is mediocre and what is not? If it's a jury decision, what happens if the jury is hung?
It hasn't worked out that well for Marilyn vos Savant, as far as I can tell. IQ allegedly 228.
For a good time, A. E. Van Vogt, Asylum, a longish short story collected in Healy and McComas eds., Famous Science Fiction Stories, Adventures in Time and Space, Random House, Modern Library, 1957. It is also quite seasonal, as it is a vampire story.
The humans are morons, relatively speaking. The vampire Dreeghs are running around 400 or so. The Great Galactics are something else again.
