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 projectin…

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 generat…

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 …

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

Reduced without meaning loss: > Hackers exploit flawed proprietary code. (6w/45c -> 5w/40c)

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? (Discla…

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 o…

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 a…

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. T…

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, o…

> I've always naively thought that climate disaster was still 10-20 years out You can hardly be blamed for that, they've been saying it was one way or another since at least the 19…

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 th…

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 helpfu…

> purposefully putting people in danger to protect others Doesn't this describe all armed forces, everywhere, ever?

> It may have been a factor in a few cases This is not something to casually dismiss.

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…

> but funnily enough mistakes such as these happen in every intelligence service There's advantage in appearing incompetent and creating traps to distract from actual active capabi…

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…

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…

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 Compute…

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…

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 …
