  3. Uptime; spend more time on tasks as you get better at it
  4. Zone; make sure your environment is distration free, if you find yourself distracted make a note about what distracted you so you can remove it in future

I found Justin’s TEDx talk over here: Stop Studying. Start Learning.

Silly Job Title: Surge Sage.

In this video we have a look at an old book, the Student Manual for the Art of Electronics (find on archive.org). This old book references The Art of Electronics 2ed, but The Art of Electronics is up to 3ed now. In this video we just flip through the book to see what is inside.

This book is made obsolete by Learning the Art of Electronics 2ed, which is an ongoing project of ours.

New Book Teardown #7: Electricity and Magnetism 3rd Edition (2013) | In The Lab With Jay Jay

Silly Job Title: Prime Hack.

In this video we tear down Electricity and Magnetism 3rd Edition written by Edward Purcell and David Morin and published in 2013.

Electricity and Magnetism is one of the books I am taking notes for as a part of my Learning the Art of Electronics project. These notes are a perk for people who support me on Patreon, so what are you waiting for!? :)

There is a website for the book maintained by the publisher, but regrettably there’s not much there, just some material available to instructors only: https://www.cambridge.org/Purcell-Morin

I mention two xkcd comic in the video, those are these: Farads and Nerd Sniping.

The “esu” is prounounced as “eee-ess-you” and is also known as the Statcoulomb.

I mention the Franck–Hertz experiment which happens to be something I wrote a Hackaday article about: A DIY Version Of The Franck-Hertz Experiment.

The first edition of Electricity and Magnetism was volume two in a five volume course: Berkeley Physics Course.

The books mentioned in Chapter 1 include The Flying Circus of Physics and How Things Work.

The websites mentioned in Chapter 1 are:

The Feynman (1977) reference is to The Feynman Lectures on Physics which is also available here: www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu

The symbol: ∇ (“nabla”, an upside down Δ “delta”) is the vector differential operator and its key uses are:

  • ∇f → gradient of scalar
  • ∇·F → divergence of vector field
  • ∇×F → curl of vector field
  • ∇² → Laplacian

The Big Clive video that I mentioned was this one: How a stungun creates 20kV from a 9V battery.

I also mention the show’s wiki, the ITL Wiki, which is on the web over here: https://www.inthelabwithjayjay.com/wiki/

Dualstream

I have this thing that I do where I get a book narration from Audible and the same book in ebook format for my Kindle, then I playback the narration at two or three times speed while I read along with the ebook in my browser window. So basically I listen to the book and read it at the same time at high speed. And what I wanted was a term I could use to describe this activity, which is something I have been doing for quite a while now. So, naturally, I asked ChatGPT and of all the suggestions it came up with I liked “DualStream” the most. Thus, hence forth, I will refer to this activity as dualstreaming.
