What’s that from? I’m legitimately curious, it looks like some very cool technology.

Works for me.

World’s tiniest Fukuyama Castle model – the size of a strand of hair – created in Japan April 10, 2022 (Mainichi Japan)

FUKUYAMA, Hiroshima – Tiny enough to sit on a strand of hair but with the same elaborate exterior design is a 0.217-millimeter model of Fukuyama Castle, all but invisible to the naked eye, made by a precision metal parts manufacturer in this western Japan city.

(Mainichi/Shinji Kanto) Castem Co. in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, created the miniature model on a scale of 1/170,000 of the actual castle tower, which measures 33.5 meters high, using a special 3D printer in cooperation with Kyoto University of Advanced Science in the city of Kyoto.
Yuki Toda, 34-year-old general manager of the company’s new business division, explained, “We infused manufacturing’s playful side into the world’s smallest model of Fukuyama Castle.”
Castem boasts advanced metal casting and fine processing technology, and has used 3D data to reproduce stainless steel models of paper cranes folded by the late Sadako Sasaki, who was exposed to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It also made a 1/250-scale Fukuyama Castle key chain.
For about the past two years, the company has been working together with Kyoto University of Advanced Science to develop technology in the fields of 3D scanning and materials, and produce medical supplies.
The miniature Fukuyama Castle model was made to be about the same size as the thickness of a strand of hair using the university’s 3D printer and special resin, and its surface was coated with platinum. When looking at the model under a microscope, it is evident each of the tiles and the stone walls have been precisely crafted.
If the material is processed further, it is apparently possible to reproduce Fukuyama Castle with a height of 0.2 micrometers, which is 1,000 times smaller than the current miniature model. Fukuyama Mayor Naoki Edahiro looked impressed after observing the model under a microscope and said, “It is encouraging to see the display of Fukuyama’s high-level technology. I want to exhibit it at Fukuyama Castle Museum, which will open following renovation 400 years after the castle was built.”

Some science nerd did it. With science.
I’ve had premium for almost as long as premium has been around. It is the only streaming service In have ever paid for.
Yeah, I still occasionally call it Youtube Red. There’s only 2 subscription streaming services I don’t feel weird at all about paying for and that’s YouTube and Dropout.
+1 for Dropout, - 1000 for YouTube Premium
Same. I came on with the original Google play music. I can’t believe that was nearly 13 years ago… Oh how I miss Google play music.
My time is too valuable to be watching ads. I need to know what some youtuber says I won’t belive happened with one of them open faces and big eyes in the thumbnail
just use ublock origin??
I think they’re being sarcastic?.. I hope they’re being sarcastic.
Use Invidious or Materialious.
Fuck that scale bar though. The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.
Also - trailing zeros after the decimal serve no purpose but to define precision. With the resolution of the image, there’s no way the bar is precise to 1/100,000 of its width.
Sig Figs matter.

That one facial hair that is thicker than the others.
I saw that. I almost didn’t post this because of it. I used to work with a lot of maps, so something like that makes the lizard part of my brain rage.
Yours aren’t?
I’m legitimately upset this isn’t a benchy
So you’re saying there’s a chance
Yeah youtube can go suck on an egg. If they want to pay content creators more theyre free to do so without any help from me and honestly it’s kind of shitty that they try to incentivize people to subscribe by going “well we’ll pay them a nickel instead of a penny for your view”.
Ublock on firefox, revanced on mobile, and I got all I need. If I want to support creators I can give them more money by sending them a few bucks on patreon.
I want to give them some money, but 18 euro per month is way to much for something I get for free without ads.
Most of the money doesn’t even go to the Youtubers you want to support anyway.
There are ways to pay Indian prices. Which is around 4,30 euros for a family account that includes YT Music.
I used this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/VPN/comments/1awyfq3/comment/lszf1zi/
The guide is for iOS only though, I don’t know how to do it on Android or without an iOS device.
KenM moment:
I bet they could have made a smaller 3D print if they printed fewer floors.
