got minimap working and viewports to sync
no one asked for this but why not, a gdsii web viewer that's mobile friendly. the collaborative part was inspired by figma, hopefully soon, might be fun might also be cursed. (dxf also works) (loading a file using a ?url= also works) (now my gf could easily browse my old

the device shifts its reflection wavelength by squeezing the grating. Amazing device. The sensitivity curve shows you all the nasty mechanical resonance modes. Vanackere2025: [Piezoelectrically actuated silicon-nitride-based high-speed spatial light

quiz: what are the fundamental limits and practical limits of how fast and how optically broadband can you change how big of a single optical mode? (this is a piezo MEMS based DMD-like device, "supporting >100 MHz modulation speeds", but the response is nasty)

guess how much the processing and packaging of this photonic chip cost? (just the processing and packaging of this chip)

trying to cad this with purely claude + gdsfactory, took about 7 context windows, and routing sucks the most and still not working

want to watch local file change and auto refresh, but stupid browser does not have enough premission, maybe this is how everything end up being an app..

My friend shared with me a teardown of Agilent E6651A (Mobile WiMAX test set) it’s basically a PXI system inside. The front panel slides out like a drawer with a hinge. Beautiful industrial design Though pretty useless today and way behind in performance, but still pretty cool
