The ten Mega Party
« on: November 29, 2025, 02:44:43 pm »
A few years ago, I played quite a bit with precision oscillators (OCXO, GPSDO, Rubidium), and started to write a description. But then I moved, and now don't (yet) have a well placed GPS antenna, so this project is stalled. Don't know when I will restart it, so I decided to just publish the unfinished description of that work.
Here it is:

In the hope it will be useful to somebody,

Interesting information in this video about the different technology ...

Is there a written summary of the video?
Does it make good use of moving pictures?

I'm not prepared to spend 50 minutes(!) watching on the off-chance there is something interesting. I will spend 30s speed reading, and then look more closely if there is something useful.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

I have watched it completely (with some right arrow clicking...), because I am interested in these things. The first half is about general time metrology (not this particular device), and the second half is mostly about Bodnar's Windows and Mac software. No teardown or hardware analysis. Although the block diagram on the user interface looks interesting, it doesn't tell much.

Thanks for taking the trouble to save 50 minutes of my remaining life :)

There are lots of things that you probably shouldn't use LLMs for, but regurgitating/summarizing content into different media is a pretty good use case that they excel at... I think the free tier of google's notebooklm will do this for you directly from a youtube link now.

I don't want a collection of words on a topic which are statistically frequently found in near proximity.

I want a considered statement from someone knowledgeable, that I can assess within 30s.

Eurofox got the concept :)

Old question... which will win, artificial intelligence or natural stupidity? i suppose LLMs add "artificial stupidity" :(

If I want "words that sound good but aren't actually correct" (i.e. bullshit)  I'll listen to a politician or religious zealot.
