  Yes! And weirder that bicolour banded flags are not consistently on top. I suspect some float errors. I just know that using the typical Shannon style does even worse. I might add some filter that calculates a differential or something.

  That really depends on the algorithm used. Ideally it takes colous and spacial information into account. I’ll keep you posted on the ranking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did I forget?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried different definitions and settled on spectral entropy. This one uses fourier transform and (I think) this takes the spacial relation of the pixels into account, as opposed to the more common Shannon definition. I’d like to share it but am not sure on how to do that: were I to use GitHub I would doxx myself.

  Their previous version was indeed without the coat of arms. Much cooler I think. During that time the Liechtenstein flag was identical, but they (Liechtenstein) changed it upon discovery.

  Simplicity I suppose. Colour combination. In my opinion if i can draw it from memory it’s a good flag.

  I owe it to the community. Since I don’t have it anymore I am coding it up again. Allow me some time - it’s weekend and I have family to look after.

  I see a flag. I like flags. Especially the Japanese flags. I don’t specifically care for Japan, but the flag is one of my favourites. I prefer flags with low entropy: so I wrote a script once that ranks the nations flags by entropy so I could quantify my preference. Thanks for letting me infodump a bit.

  Love bombing is an idea that can be associated with cluster B personality pathology: as part of the idealisation / devaluation cycle or manipulation with borderline pd or narcissism pd. The people you’re describing here are teens so I wouldn’t look too much into it.

  Hard to say, but if the 5V natively to the machine is shot, I’d expect the unit to not work as its systems would depend on it. I assume you measured 5V in reference to the machines GND. Double check your meter against a known good 5V supply (your adapter).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questions on how to connect a PC to a washing machine (USB→TTL serial)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they both are power supplied, and have ground connected then what would you need the 5V connection for? Some devices that externally supply power can come with a protection diode to prevent looping power back to prevent the scenario you described but looks like that’s not needed. You would have to know the protocol used such as baudrate, bitlength, stopbits and parity. If you don’t have that info try common baudrates (115200), 8 bits, 1 stop, no parity.
