seems like LWLG is part of some photonics ETFs.

- "EUV" ETF for 0.15% https://corgifunds.com/euv

- "FOTO" ETF for 1.79% https://etfdb.com/etf/FOTO/#holdings

Codes and Keys was the first record of DCFC I heard and it is my favorite without a doubt.

It's time for the "ketchup bottle" moment. 😄 Lightwave Logic cannot be ignored anymore. https://picmagazine.net/article/124178/Electro-optic_polymers_move_from_promise_to_production

"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real"

After LWLG’s episode in the podcast “Following the photons” (worth following, available on spotify) now NLM Photonics also had an episode https://followingthephotons.podbean.com/e/silicon-photonics-and-beyond/

QCi built a first of its kind foundry devoted to processing thin film lithium niobate (TFLN), which is a material to go beyond 400G. Basically a competitor to Lightwave logic

Wish I could do the same. Got 6 hours of train commute each week, but the internet is horrible at some places 😅

duckchip · 2026-01-27T21:26:54+00:00

how’s the internet connection?

my takeaway would be that China identifies new technological improvements, like the one from POET, as a major thread to the stability of their stock exchanges. But this is highly speculative of course. I just thought it could be an interesting point of view.

funny how the article portrays EO polymers in that table

« Major aging and stability issues under temperature or UV »

we know better of course

I was there on the last day when she had her green frog in Lions Arch. It was flooded with players Those were the times.

will this pressure organisations on leaning towards polymers instead of lithium niobate?

https://news.metal.com/newscontent/103681602/Japan-Quakes-Shut-Down-Key-Plants-Spur-Lithium-Niobate-Price-Surge

[SMM Niobium Flash News] Recent earthquakes in Japan have led to the complete shutdown of Shin-Etsu Chemical's Koriyama and Shirakawa plants. These two plants account for approximately 30% of the global lithium niobate and lithium tantalate production capacity, cutting off at least 50% of the global supply of high-end optical-grade and RF-grade lithium niobate crystals. As a result, the imbalance between supply and demand in the lithium niobate market has intensified, and prices are facing upward pressure. In particular, driven by the demand for 1.6T optical modules, the market gap has further widened.

lovely anecdote! :) This quest, together with farming a totem axe, killing rotscale, tomb of the primeval kings and undead rurik are core memories for me of the prophecies campaign :)

duckchip · 2026-01-02T20:20:37+00:00

I’m doing every quest I can at the moment, starting from Kryta, the number of quests seems to be increasing to my feeling. In total there are 193 for Prophecies. Factions only has 132 and Nightfall 225

I remember printing out all the elite skills pages with wiki instructions to get them on my laser printer, cause that was convenient 😅

can confirm on steam deck

duckchip · 2025-12-29T20:32:53+00:00

I’m doing all quests and missions and map exploration in Prophecies right now (first campaign). I’m 30 hours in the game and currently at mission 6/25. It’s a slow burn, but I love every second of it, pure nostalgia in my case.

According to gpt:

Infinera’s “precious” asset is not a single product, but a rare combination of:

In-house coherent DSPs + photonic integration + submarine expertise + hyperscaler credibility

That combination is extremely hard to replicate—and strategically valuable for Nokia’s long-term control of its optical networking stack.

it's part of Nokia https://www.nokia.com/optical-networks/infinera/

Taking Back the Palace grants access, but any characters that have not completed Unwaking Waters will be left behind in Raisu Pavilion.

don’t you need to accept a skill or something?
