    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) Fukuyama Mayor Naoki Edahiro, foreground, is seen looking at the miniature model of Fukuyama Castle under a microscope at Fukuyama City Hall in Hiroshima Prefecture. (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.”

    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.

      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.

      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.

      The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.

      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.

    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.
