This misses the NVIDIA Jetson/Orin/Thor line of GPU-enabled edge computers which are more comparable with Raspberry Pis. The Jetson Orin Nano Super is $250. Another feature which we find useful is the native NVMe drive support. For the price, this blows RPis out of the water for imaging applications.
A friend and I found a contractor to give us a couple of these lights in the Phoenix area. We traced the LEDs back to a Seoul Semiconductor Phosphor on-chip design. We still have a suspicion that LM80 testing didn’t catch this and it was due to a thermal cycling failure. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mll-YDDAF4
I had that same thought. I travel a bunch for work and would love to be able to wire up a RPi/Arduino remotely to a sensor or other device and run a test or two.
Dr. Levenspiel came up in another thread about elephant curves. He tried for many years to get this article published on the aerodynamics of dinosaurs and how this might reflect on atmospheric pressure at the time. There is a long list included of rejections from various scientific publications in the 90s. Seemed fitting for Hacker News.
I have to plug Dr Octave Levenspiel. Levenspiel was a professor emeritus when I did my undergrad. He did much of the work on industrial fluidized beds among other things. The elephant curve discussions were a criticism of the complex multi-parameter fitting for heterogenous catalysis of the time. https://levenspiel.com/elephants/
