overview for Isoprenoid

No matter who you are, or where you are from, we can work together against the powers that be. Even small nudges from each person collect to a large force.

Regular sleep schedule - good

People get to the weekend and think they'll get away with staying up late and sleeping in.

It's not worth it.

If people don’t act on their instincts, they might as well be dead.

Nah, to get hairs you need to send back French toast. Just like in this demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNfciDzZTNM

IWTL how to Build an RF Amplifier (self.iwtl)

submitted 7 months ago by Isoprenoid to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink

I want to build / design an RF amplifier that can boost the signal from an AMT-MW207 kit.

Design goals:

Boost the signal a couple of watts
AM signal
525 - 1605 kHz baseband range

I've been searching for RF amplifier designs but many of them are too big (10's of Watts), or are hard to implement. It's been difficult trying to find something that can instruct me clearly. I'll have to take into account things like impedances and the like.

I have an electronics background, so if you can only point me towards a book or other resource, even that would be helpful.

I'm going to be checking out 'Experimental Methods in RF Design', hopefully it can point me in the right direction.

Recommendation Request: Similar to Iron War (programming.dev)

I just finished listening to Iron War by Matt Fitzgerald. I loved the descriptions of the history of the event, the history of each of the racers, and their future after the race. It helped me feel amped for my own exercise sessions. Are there other books like this?

Excluding Matt Fitzgerald's other books, of course.

Maria Nattestad just dropped a new introduction to the field of bioinformatics.

Foundation skills for bioinformatics:

Python
Use the Command Line (e.g. Bash, scripts)
Statistics - p-values, multiple hypothesis tests

Rosalind: Website for learning bioinformatics and programming through problem solving (rosalind.info)

I've used Rosalind in the past to learn about bioinformatics. I solved about 17 of the problems, which is about 6% of the problems on the site.

I think it gave a decent mix of guided learning and letting you figure things out on your own. I would say having some background knowledge in biology and coding would be necessary. It doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but there is some.
