Seems figuring out what it is they're doing and duplicating it would be a straightforward thing to do. Surely there's a research group working on it?

Theorising I've seen on this - though, I don't recall where - suggested targeting resonances with HAARP in a similar way to how a human singer can shatter a wineglass, by projecting the crystals frequency, causing it to oscillate

With distributed ray detectors and suitable modeling of inner earth processes, assuming that the premise is correct - seems it may have potential to work? Ie, maybe able to generate the level of specificity required. EDIT: Also there aren&#

I'd buy one of the ones with a screen, keyboard and floppies, at a much higher price; if all of it worked and could be used say, with a toothpick and pair of tweezers. My guess is we're just about there with embedded stuff that i

Agreed. Further reduced: > Proprietary code hack. (6w/45c -> 3w/22c: >50%)

This is very cool, but I can't understand how 60khz is enough resolution to usefully discern what would be happening inside a CPU, etc, that's running way faster than that? (Disclaimer: I can't read the article as it says &qu

Are there advantages to this other than, I guess it being convenient? (Zig noob here.) Eg, are there C to Zig ports that have had a demonstrable performance or memory-safety gain or something like that? (Specifically, I mean over a C-lib wr

Can you at least list some good or better hash tables?

What if they, unknowingly, had an LLM "look at" incompatibly-licensed code they later used? And if that provided any immunity, what's to stop someone from claiming it happened to avoid issue?

I've observed that for the past 4.5+ billion years, the sole principle driver of the climate on our planet has been the million-earth sized nuclear reaction it's in orbit around. That the past 100 years of cows farting would sudde

The paper describes the implementation including a detailed breakdown of the optimisation algorithm itself. It's also plausible an iPhone 14 Pro could do it given its memory b/w, ops/s and that it can fit the SD model in RAM

Counting subreddits is meaningless as a stock percentage. For example, there are millions of subreddits, but only 150k or so even have any activity at all. A small percentage of those are responsible for most activity. The number of users i

There's no impediment to any aircraft manufacturer or any airline to develop their own superior system, and augment what's required. Surely, the case could be made that it's helpful mitigating even just future revenue catastr

I've no idea how to interpret your comment in way that isn't bizarre. You seem to state you think competitive advantage in intelligence activity - and in military activity for that matter, as they are deeply intertwined - doesn&#x

I admit I wasn't particularly careful calculating this, but something like a quadrillion petabytes per year. I guess the datacenter would also need to be quite large, depending how vertical it could go. Say, a continent per year? Your

Agree. And deeper than that may be microcode, which we rarely see or reason about, and while may very much be there is rarely of practical use. (Ie, when learning, the distinctions may be somewhat an impediment without payoff.)

There are several different types of CPU's, in two main classes, CISC and RISC. The difference is summarised by the first letter - "Complex" vs. "Reduced" - Instruction Set Computer. Or, what size "vocabulary&q

How is comparing a 16GB GPU to a 64GB - 192GB GPU on the same terms useful or informative?

Not sure if this was intended, but coming to this as someone vaguely aware of RISC-V, it's looking like a fantastic form of documentation for the ISA, that both describes and gives a way to play with it, but in an intuitive, even fun m

I'm not sure I've even met a person I believe would be deeply disturbed by aliens being confirmed as real. Most find it interesting, exciting, or vaguely potentially alarming - in the same way an unknown rustle in the jungle might

I stopped counting at lower subbed communities (below 100k IIRC), seeing diminishing returns. If they all add up that much it's interesting, as many of those communities are very niche, so may have a higher weight of unique subs.

I tallied (roughly) the number of subscriber accounts, across all these reddits. It's around 1 billion. Obviously, it's not conservative as many will have subscribed to multiple. But, I see MAU (monthly active users) is about 1b.

Agree on the Greek yoghurt taste. I'd sweeten it with banana, as it can mix nice without much effort and is also packed with nutrients along with only a tiny bit lethal radiation. Calories I've no idea about though.

Sure, but something formulated as a profound energy stimulant containing the equivalent of a cup of coffee of caffeine plus other energy boosters could be rightly suspected of affecting energy levels, and so possibly also sleep, given two p
