Better sing well as a goldfinch than badly as a nightingale

Krylov I.A.

Phraseologism: Better sing well as a goldfinch than badly as a nightingale.

Meaning: It is better to do well in your own business, well known to you, than to claim someone else's, albeit significant, role and cope poorly with it.

Origin: From the fable "The Starling" (1816) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844).

Random phraseology:

Idiot fool.

Meaning:

A stupid, stupid person.

Origin:

A fool is an indispensable folklore hero of proverbs, sayings, everyday tales of any nation. Because of his stupidity, he takes ridiculous steps that are contrary to common sense, or acts out of place, inappropriate to the circumstances. Fool - the original Russian word, derived from "fool" - that is, "stupid". The original meaning of the word "fool" is "stung, bitten", then - "mad, crazy, sick" (from a bite), and so on up to "bad, stupid." "Fool" is still the most popular basis for composing new swear words. For example, "stuffed fool" - so they say about a very stupid person. It probably means "stuffed with stupidity". Dahl has an expression "stuffed fool" - a complete, round fool.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Samsung 4GB DDR64 RDIMMs 08.09.2014

Samsung Electronics has announced the start of mass production of 4GB DDR64 RDIMM modules that use 3D TSV package technology. The new high-performance, high-density modules will play a key role in the proliferation of enterprise servers and cloud applications, as well as further diversification of data center solutions, Samsung told CNews.

The new RDIMMs include 36 DDR4 DRAM chips, each consisting of four 4Gb DDR4 DRAM dies. The low power chips are manufactured using Samsung's state-of-the-art 20nm class process and 3D TSV package technology.

"With the introduction of energy-efficient DDR4 modules assembled using 3D TSV technology, we are taking a big step towards the mainstream DDR4 market, which should expand significantly with the expected introduction of next-generation CPUs in the second half of this year," said Jiho Baik, Vice President , Memory Solutions Marketing Division, Samsung Electronics.

Overall, the company noted that the mass production of 3D TSV modules marks a new milestone in the history of memory technology, following Samsung's first production of 3D Vertical NAND (V-NAND) flash memory last year. While 3D V-NAND technology uses tall vertical cell array structures within a monolithic die, 3D TSV is an innovative stacking technology that allows vertical layers of chips to be interconnected, the company explained.
.
"To create a 3D TSV DRAM package, DDR4 dies are ground down to a thickness of only a few tens of microns, after which hundreds of tiny holes are created in the dies. They are vertically interconnected using electrodes that are passed through the holes," said Samsung representatives. The new 64 GB TSV module has twice the performance of the 64 GB module, where the packages use wired mounting, and the power consumption of the modules is approximately halved."

In the future, Samsung says it will be possible to interconnect more than four DDR4 dies using 3D TSV technology, allowing even higher density DRAM modules to be built. This will accelerate the expansion of the premium memory market and the transition from DDR3 to DDR4 memory in the server market.
