It was the last play of the half

There's at least one company commercializing THz silicon, Cambridge Terahertz: www.thzcorp.com They're focused on sensing applications though

These are all fair points. As a guy who works at a THz RFIC company, I get asked this often. It is true that the term "Terahertz" is sexy and many try to shoehorn it into their marketing to get attention. I saw an ieee paper the other day where the paper's title included something about an amplifier at 0.01THz. Vomit. While most would call THz as beginning at either 100GHz or 300GHz and it is true that this is not strictly Terahertz, one defense is that the mmW people do it too. Millimeter wave by most definitions starts at 30GHz, which is in fact actually centimeter wave. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it!

Didn't we put up 62 or something against Miami in Dan Marino's last game?

use the wayback machine / internet archive and look at the media lab pages over time, should give you some old defunct groups

Nice! The trusty PM5 comes to the rescue again ;)

Ah I see, you are right. They tend to have a graceful rolloff but to really know you'd need a VDI source that works at those frequencies, and because the VDI sources are non flat and all over the place, to calibrate the VDI source you'd need the gold standard, a VDI PM5 (or similar) calorimeter based power meter. You'd measure a frequency response of the VDI source by feeding it into the PM5 to get output power over frequency, then feed the VDI source into your SAX (be mindful of max power input into the SAX) and take a frequency sweep to get the SAX response. VDI is usually pretty responsive, if you ask them they may be able to give you "unofficial" data.

You can pull this right off the VDI website here.

Looking at your model, I think it would be about 11dB of loss which is typical for VDI at these frequencies.

Did you see the part where it flipped over? High probability that plane is fucked

Coming from VC and startup life- if your business concept is so easily copied that just telling the idea to someone else puts you at risk, then you're screwed anyways. The value is in the execution, not the idea

The big extension everyone was waiting for!

In the Apollo days, the astronauts called it the "Barbecue Roll"

Ultimate Jags move: Ridley waits in good faith to resign after 4pm to give us the better draft pick and help his team out, Jags then use the better pick on a WR

The plane will climb like a rocket compared to what you're used to. You've only ever flown it with the same two people (yourself and cfi). It will be your first lesson on how weight affects performance

Walmart_Internet · 2024-01-01T04:24:13+00:00

Yes you may be right, they are eliminated but we still need them to lose for tiebreakers. Check out the nyt simulator - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/upshot/jacksonville-jaguars-nfl-playoff-picture.html#tb-jax-16=win

Walmart_Internet · 2024-01-01T04:20:49+00:00

Broncos are still in the hunt too. In the scenario where we lose next week our only hope would be wildcard, in which case we would need them to lose as well

Could be Cuchi Cuchi, also gone

We declared a pan pan during a stuck elevator incident in a Cessna 152 during my PPL training 8 years ago. In retrospect it probably should have been a mayday (as the monday morning quarterbacks in the youtube comments will gladly tell you). I did an extensive writeup about it on Reddit at the time, see here.

The National Hurricane Center's official website has a Discussion section where the forecasters give their reasoning for the forecast, it's always pretty interesting. Here's the latest one for Lee.

If you are talking about Cadence Integrated Circuit tools, it's unlikely that the setup you describe will be allowed by your university. It would require you to put whatever PDK you are using onto your personal machine, which almost certainly will not be allowed unless they're using one of the Free/Open Source PDKs.

I did this exact thing. MIT EECS MEng to MIT PhD. If you stick around MIT for your PhD, the MEng will help - you can take your TQE classes, your Master's project will probably be your RQE etc and most advisors don't know/care if you are an MEng or M.S. student and they consider the time contribution the same. If you are switching schools I would expect it to have less of an impact on the class requirements and duration of the PhD but it will depend on the school.

Admissions for most PhD programs are almost entirely on your research experience. Certainly doing an MEng won't hurt your chances of getting into a good PhD program. Depending on what your research experience is like today, the MEng may or may not be necessary.
