Congratulations to Cyrus Khalatbari on successfully defending his PhD a few days ago! 🎉 His dissertation, "Struggles and Resilience in GPU Miniaturization: From Taipei's Overclockers to Accra's Urban Miners," is a very cool work mixing ethnography, theory, and research-creation.

My preference is for Olympus, but it's just because I like the way their designer thought. There's nothing about it you can't get with Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Minolta, etc. Olympus was earlier on miniaturization, but, everyone else eventually caught up.

So generous of Lucky to include all of these now-puny pals to a plush paw enlarging, dog digit enabled diminishment demonstration!
Such dedication!

A demonstration of the miniaturization possible with modern technology, the various cabinets of the UNIVAC I demonstrated that it was possible to fit an entire aisle's worth of racks a computer like the Whirlwind I into a single cabinet. (Source.)

Miniaturization is a hard problem. I would make the large man but give him extremely distracting honkers.

WM 20 didn’t have auto reverse - that came the next year I think in a successor.
I had the WM 20. Amazing device - the same size as a cassette case when idle. It slid open to accommodate a cassette tape. Had Dolby noise reduction and handled chrome and metal tape. A miracle of miniaturization.

Gobies big and small. Not just small…. teeny tiny!
I painted 6 gobies, 3 of them not even an inch long, for this paper about the evolution of miniaturization. (To be clear, the fish are tiny, but the paintings are not.)
Big congratulations to @fishfetisher.bsky.social and colleagues.

I wonder if this is the company that has the proprietary method of miniaturization that all modern chips depend on.
If China were to gain access to that technology it would be completely over for Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and other chip makers for the Western world.
