Claudius Ptolemaeus, Almagestum, 1515
Wow. On Wikipedia you can download a 1515 Latin translation of the Almagest: Claudius Ptolemaeus, Almagestum, 1515.
I was able to read this file on my Debian workstation after installing the package djview4.

This video is part of the New Book Teardown feature of my video blog.
In this video I take a look at Learning the Art of Electronics: A Hands-On Lab Course by Thomas C. Hayes and Paul Horowitz published in 2016. The book has 1,140 pages and is a companion to The Art of Electronics 3rd Edition.
Some notes about things of interest we noticed in the book:
- Xilinx was an American technology and semiconductor company, now owned by AMD
- the Ebers–Moll model is useful for modelling Bipolar junction transistors
- Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history
- Wien’s bridge is used for precision measurement of capacitance in terms of resistance and frequency
- Wilson current mirror is a three-terminal circuit that accepts an input current at the input terminal and provides a “mirrored” current source or sink output at the output terminal
- a Bessel filter is a type of analog linear filter named in reference to Friedrich Bessel who developed the mathematical theory
- the video about the 6502 I watched recently is: The 6502 CPU Powered a Whole Generation!
- the Cypress PSoC is a family of microcontroller integrated circuits by Cypress Semiconductor

I am reading The Brain User’s Handbook: A Neuroscience-inspired Guide to Peace of Mind which has this awesome image I want to share:
Why is the audio speed so weird?
Over here one of my viewers asked “Why is the audio speed so weird?” The answer is that I was speeding up the video in an attempt to make the content more “lively” and so viewers could get through 6 minutes worth of content in only 4 minutes. However I have come to understand that others don’t think this is a good idea, so I have canceled the various videos I had queued for release, and I will remake them without the speed ups. I won’t be redoing any of the videos I have already released though, so that history will stand. :)
