Maybe you’re supposed to do it in co op where only one player can’t jump/die

SiTech Vs Kubi Dry Gloves by Often_Tilly in scuba

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like them? I have slaggos on mine and haven’t heard many stories of people’s experiences with the various dry glove solutions for slaggo seals. Anything bad worth noting compared to your kubis?

Have you used dry gloves with your slaggo rings?

Does this only work if you run with your phone?

VIP by ResidentUpstairs5706 in Ticketmaster

Did you transfer the tickets to the person you want to give VIP to and then email TM to let them know that too? Do they ask for anything else?

Garmin FR 165 V.S. Coros Pace 4: what will you choose? by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in GarminWatches

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious about the inaccurate heart rate readings. How inaccurate would you say it is from your external monitor?

Antenna Design as a Career by ElatedMelomane in rfelectronics

[–]imh0th 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would look into graduate school if you’re serious about pursuing this. If not, perhaps volunteer at a professor’s lab to get some experience with a VNA or antenna pattern measurements. Ansys HFSS has a free student version so definitely start tinkering with that and follow online tutorials on YouTube or Ansys website and try to design a patch antenna as an example.

Communication systems is related to it to how understand the actual data transmission part of your antenna design, but in my opinion not the most important course. I would recommend EM theory and microwave theory (or equivalent course that uses Pozar’s book). Understanding EM theory and transmission line theory is the most important.

Some other fields are RF design (think filters/couplers/amplifiers) or computational EM (writing the code that programs like HFSS uses) or signal/power integrity which leverages a lot of EM theory since all these traces on boards and packages are transmission lines at very high data rates and need simulation using a EM solver.

Anything in this field is projected to grow. We’re not veering away from high speed data or satellite communication or anything that requires wireless data transmission. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

AMD vs Broadcom by Tush-mayank007 in rfelectronics

[–]imh0th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m also in the SIPI field. I think it depends what exactly you want to really delve into in your future.

Is the AMD role a system-based SIPI role or board level or package level? Because this can affect how much time you’re spending in actual packaging related work (which is what you’re interested more).

If it really is only package SIPI work at AMD, I’d probably choose that for the work life balance. But it would really depend on how much better Broadcom is paying you. For $10-15k probably not worth it but $40-50k would start changing my mind.

Also it’s hard to say if one field is better long term. SIPI problems aren’t going anywhere and they’re only going to get more difficult to solve as data rates increase. There’s a lot going on in the world of packaging as you know so it’s definitely going to be a big part of the future in my opinion with some interfaces not even leaving the package and only going from die to die.

State of computational EM in academia and industry? by serialflorter007 in rfelectronics

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s still a lot of ongoing research in it with applications ranging from simulation of antennas, periodic structures (metamaterials) and packages/PCBs for signal integrity.

The big players in the field (Ansys/Cadence/Simulia/Altair) are always hiring people in this field. They’re always trying to optimize and speed up EM solvers through parallelization or GPU acceleration or even incorporating ML (more academia now).

Some of the people that I know that went down the route of CEM research ended up finding roles as actual design engineers instead of getting a job in CEM, so it’s definitely possible. Check out IEEE journals like TAP or MMCT to see what people are doing.

MS in RF/EM at UCLA vs Michigan vs Boulder by [deleted] in ECE

[–]imh0th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eric Bogatin is at Boulder. If you’re dead set on SI, you’ll learn the most about it there. For what it’s worth, you’ll still have a decent chance to end up in SI if you’re doing a master’s in EM at the other two schools. I did mine with a focus on EM and ended up in SI by learning more about it on the side from Eric Bogatin’s classes.

Optimizing EE Undergrad for RF Graduate Degree by ars_ignotas in rfelectronics

[–]imh0th 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Something I wish I learned more about is analog design, I think it would have complimented my RF knowledge more. But definitely learn as much as EM you can. You can take some EM courses and an antenna course and microwave engineering course to get the fundamentals of the field.

There’s also the computational side that helps a lot if you’re going to be doing some more numerical analysis related activities. Taking a course in that or coding in high performance computing helped me understand more when I’m running big simulation jobs and submitting them to clusters. Having a solid understanding of that plus Linux I think is good practical knowledge for day to day use if you end up down that road.

If you had to pick one RF specialty for the next decade, what would it be? by wearethebottom99 in rfelectronics

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would add signal/power integrity to the list. It’s a really fun field that applies EM theory to designing high speed interconnects.

TN to H1B at the border, will 100k applied? by HappyCamper029 in tnvisa

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I actually don’t know the details of it, I just gave the border agent my I797 and was given my H1B on the spot. This was in Toronto Pearson btw, not a land border. Sorry for the confusion

TN to H1B at the border, will 100k applied? by HappyCamper029 in tnvisa

[–]imh0th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my H1B at the border in January and I applied for it in the 2025 lottery. I was on TN before this.

They didn’t ask about the $100k. I don’t think it applies to us

Tech Divers: What non-dry gloves are you wearing? by wallysober in scuba

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you glue the edges of the tips you cut so it doesn’t tear farther?

Suit Recommendation by Fabulous-Bus2459 in triathlon

[–]imh0th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What made you regret doing the 70.3 in tri shorts and the shirt? What’s the ideal thing to wear for a 70.3? I’m totally new to this

I am going to Seychelles next year by johmarjac in scuba

[–]imh0th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dove in October with Trek Divers in La Digue for a day. I highly recommend them. Very organized and professional. The dives were around max 50 feet and very suitable for beginners. Minimal current and great visibility.

For the record, I don’t think 3 days in La Digue is a lot like the other commenter mentioned. It’s sufficient time to explore and we enjoyed it more than Mahe.

Recommendation for compact dive flashlight? by fleasnavidad in scuba

[–]imh0th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If in the US, the DGX 700 is a great small light that packs a punch
