> The article explores the idea that pure kinetic energy in form of photons indeed might have at least gravity-like properties.

Saying “explore”, “idea”, “might” makes it sound as if this was not a well-established 100-years-old theory.

> My presumption is that atoms are somehow made of really high energy EM fields so that they appear to be massive.

Somehow... The easiest way to proceed in that program of research may be to rename the standard model as ElectroMagnetism and try to get a unified theory of the strong, weak and the-force-previously-known-as-em forces. Then you unify that with GR and you’re done :-)
I want an operating system with a permissions model which specifically forbids this kind of thing.

My Linux desktops are also always full of processes which I have to dig to figure the purpose, unless I build my own distribution it's hard to make anything work which feels satisfactorily under control.
But this only works if you are a new prime user and not an existing one :(. Though at least in Airtel you get INR 1500 worth of Netflix subscription which is pretty useful.
This is odd indeed since the government cannot really appreciate the benefits of IP it develops on its own

The easy workaround, which it does do often, is that it has IP assigned to it via employment agreements or work for hire or purchasing

Here it was filed by an appointed/elected official operating in the official capacity, with a clear note that the government derives no monetary benefits

This whole thing is very out of character.
It looks like an unreliable modification. Running a GHz-level interface with jumpers is almost impossible to control the impedance, it's a cool Proof-of-Concept though.

But is it possible to bring the project to the next level? Is it possible to make a daughterboard with QFN connector? If so, one can make a pin-compatible daughterboard with an extension connector. To use it, just desolder the USB chip and solder a new daughterboard on it, and you're ready to go. It would be one of the coolest Raspberry Pi projects!

What if, and bare with me here, there's some super exotic technologies that we've been working on for a long time and we're this close to making it work and are concerned that the Chinese, notorious patent trolls, will get there first - and then as a preemptive strategy the Navy files these but intentionally obscures the relevant (almost real) physics?

Of course the question then becomes: why even mention this stuff at all? It's not the the Military would really care about a patent in that sense.

I don't believe it either, but The X-Files fan in me can't help but wonder.
just came to say: lol
None of the leaked diagrams of the Losharik show any torpedo or missile tubes. The "bomb" hypothesis is pure speculation. However, they show a hydraulic manipulator and skegs, so it's clearly designed to tamper with stuff on the sea floor (eg. submarine communications cables).
Hack’s creator here - it’s on my list of things to try. GPUs are notoriously hard to get to work on non-intel, having tried to get a few up on Alpha and Itaniums in the past.

VideoBIOS expects to run and expects a well behaving Intel CPU to do the power-up. That said X can sometimes emulate these quite well. On ARM we’d also run into alignment issues and likely other quirks - but in principle...
Is it? Or is it more likely that a well-funded US government branch aimed at researching new technology actually managed to discover, or replicate, new technology?

There's something buzzing around in the skies. Most sightings most likely have more simple explanations, but there are enough sightings to convince me that there's probably someone buzzing around the skies with shinier hardware than we would expect them to. I'm not saying they're extraterrestrial but they do come from somewhere, and if someone has something that advanced it's only logical that US armed forces are looking into it -- _especially_ if we assume the source is Chinese or Russian and there are intelligence reports backing it up.
It could be, but it's still dishonest to describe what seibelj was doing as "promoting an investment".
What do you mean by this? Why would that be unusual?
You seem to be thinking in only the extremes "Drive people to suicide or go bankcrupt" and "Save the company, rainbows and unicorns".

Get laws changed to allow for the firing and since it would be done publicly you can make sure the populace would pressure the government to give aid to those fired.

According to other posts it is apparently not as hard to fire state employees as is made out in the article but it costs extra money, so company paids the one-time redundency costs, shit happens, company eats the cost (and maybe the gov loans / bails them out to cover this one time cost)

There is an entire range of possible options, presenting it as a black and white "Necessary evil to prevent $ABSOLUTE_WORST_CASE_SCENARIO" is justifying the worst behaviour.
but they don't and they never had so this argument is flawed

Wouldn't the gigabit LAN be a better fit for this? If you want to make a cluster, you need to make some custom hardware to connect to, that can facilitate the communication. At this point you're likely spending more that if you just bought a real desktop for more performance. I can see the fun factor in hacking the system together, though.
But for what?

My caveat is that a helper service is acceptable when it is doing something necessary for the basic function of the software.

Virus scanners, file sync, and things which are obviously servers fit the bill. Not much else I can think of does.
This might even allow some level of memory mapping in all directions. Unfortunately PCIe switches are not very hackable as such, but maybe I can spin a board for this purpose... after I get the hack more industrialized.
Yet, but Bug Bounty Programs in the corporate world are on the rise. I predict a true wave of them coming in the next 1 to 2 years. Even Gardner wrote positively about it (the report is paywalled).
Are you the anxious type? (Entry ticket)
Easy way to check, just wave a long piece of iron through the air. If there is truly a massive EM field, it should induce a decent voltage into said iron rod as it moves through the magnetic field lines produced by the "gravity EMism"

Considering noone died from waving iron rods through the air by way of electrocution (other than lightning) I'd say that means gravity is not an EM field.

There is also a different test: EM fields are either positive or negative in charge. If you have three objects, in an EM field they cannot all three attract eachother, one object must be pushed away from one of the other two.

Considering we don't see that behaviour in our solar system, gravity cannot be an EM field.

As far as I understand, dark matter is an educated guess (which was made upon the discovery that galaxies rotate differently than expected). Something out there must be causing gravity, but we cannot see it, which means that there is no observable EM interaction.

The next guess here is that dark energy has a much much higher rest energy so that no photon in this universe is able to interact with it via EM fields. The search for dark matter was unsuccessful so far, and the LHC is still trying to achieve higher energies to be able to detect dark matter. So, dark matter is just a guess.

The interactions inside atoms seem to have no known relations to EM, because, and this is my guess, there are much higher energies at work than we know. So, if dark matter is hiding behind high energies so that EM interaction seems impossible, why should it be different for EM interactions inside atoms. There still is a slim chance that it might be EM, just at much higher energies.
There are two ways of doing clusters - one is a message passing paradigm, which you can do over Ethernet (to an extent - I’d still take USB3 for 4x the bandwidth) - and the other is direct memory access a’la Cray.

What really motivated me to do this hack is the relative abundance of stuff I can now plug into an FPGA :)
According to one of the updates in their response blog post (https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2019/07/08/response-to-video-...), you need to choose it through the Zoom menu bar:

> We’re adding a new option to the Zoom menu bar that will allow users to manually and completely uninstall the Zoom client, including the local web server. Once the patch is deployed, a new menu option will appear that says, “Uninstall Zoom.” By clicking that button, Zoom will be completely removed from the user’s device along with the user’s saved settings.
The mind-twisting part of statistics is that Fat Tony is partially right. Because although each independent throw has the probability of one half, the total resulting series is very unlikely.

So you could simultaneously be at awe of the incredible improbability of throwing another heads while proclaiming meh over the 50% chance of the last throw.

It's all a matter of perspective.
Why would aliens need to stripmine earth? What do we have that they need so much that isn't abundant elsewhere? There's an asteroid out there alone between Mars/Jupiter with possibly more Gold than all the gold on earth combined. Likely there are billions and trillions of these things. Advanced races probably can create just about anything from base components and minerals easy enough so they'd just need to mine whatever is nearby.

Now, they could possibly need stars and galaxies (i.e. all stars in a galaxy) to capture as energy for large enterprises, but pretty sure there's not kardashev 2-3 races in our vicinity --we'd surely know it if there were. Energy is probably the only resource that aliens might go looking for, everything else is presumably abundant.

I think we should really begin colonizing and expanding our biome to other planets asap so we can possibly beat other civilizations to it. I'd trust a civ that grew from our basic microbes over one from silicon -because we know how we turned out at least, we can't be so sure about them.

I'd be interested to see (if I could live long enough) what would happen if we sent microbe probes to every semi-habitable planet we find, then wait 1 million years to see what life progresses from each planet.
The fact you can make function like constructs in languages that don’t have them as a first class concept doesn’t mean functions are good for nothing. Likewise objects. If you can see benefits to making object like things in a different paradigm those still hold for paradigms that make objects a first class concept. If you’re asking why use a specific language with that concept over one you can implement similar concepts in then usually the argument is going to be about the ergonomics and expressivity of doing so. Similar arguments were had as functions/procedures crawled out of the primordial ASM soup.
VSCode in recent versions has the Remote Workspace Function. It can forward ports if you press Ctrl-P and type "ssh forward", enter and the port number, enter again. You can setup the ssh-config for that workspace to also automatically forward ports.

> So maybe your opinion might be as like, more than a little biased?

Why would that make his opinion any less bias based? Most opinions tend to be like that.

Is there any specific opinion in his comment you object to?

I've dissected the comment below, it should be easy to point out the specific part that bothers you.

-

Opinions where the employer seems completely irrelevant:

> USDT has a strong following in APAC countries

> Also for some crypto users part of its allure is that it’s vaguely sketchy - it means they are less likely to have their funds blacklisted,

-

Simple statements of fact:

>a feature which Tether maintains the ability to do but has never enforced as far as I’m aware

>USDC is an audited stablecoin backed by Coinbase and Circle which has the second highest issuance after Tether

-

A possibly biased opinion, (But really just a fact, USDC is far less likely to disappear overnight than USDT. Anyone familiar with both will agree.)

>Most likely you would prefer USDC over tether.

I think you'd need a better baseline than the general population too, workers in the same/similar industry, similar pay and probably most importantly similar job stability. The suicide rate before the privatization would probably be best.

I would assume these employees are more skilled than average, perhaps better paid than average and previously had great job security. From there I'd assume that their suicide rate was and should be well below the national average.
In most cases various error messages for a certain position in the conversation are available. These messages are aimed at nudging the user back into one of the predefined conversational flows or to have them repeat their answer in a different format.

Something the bot still has trouble with is if the user sends a second reply before the answer of the bot is received.
In any situation that I would use "please" or "could you", I substitute in "what do you think of / about".

For example:

> "What do you think about changing these variable definitions so they're easier to read"?

This gives them a chance to reply and even disagree with what you're saying, because maybe your premise is actually misguided.

I once chanced upon this book about someone who embarked on a similar journey and then wrote about it at the end:

https://archive.org/details/HandToMouthToIndia/page/n11

IIRC, he was 18 at the time and had a flute, a sleeping bag, and less than 60 GBP to his name, and this might happened in the late 90s/early 2000s. Though I suspect he spent less time actually walking than Stewart.

Every now and then I see something like this pop up in the news, though usually its fundraising, or someone's blogging/instagramming their journey. Probably the biggest impediment to this style of travel is gradually increasing border protection in the wake of 9/11.
>The majority of markets don't care if it is 100% backed, like they don't care when their bank does fractional reserve.

Banks are insured, and in general they haven't failed for the last like 100+ years.

I do think what you are saying about usdt is mostly true though, however if(when) usdt does fail the entire market will take a dive off a cliff. So even if your assets are in other cryptos it still represents a systemic risk to the entire system.
This is close to "blame the victims". If they could have easily changed job, they probably would have, but there are regions where the job market is extremely tense, so many people are "locked" with their employer. That's why they are so distressed and can go to extreme acts, pretty much like farmers snowed under with debts with no way out.

That's a whole class of problems you just don't get when you work, say, in IT and you can change job in a couple of days.
I feel like these patente are a red herring to throw off Chinese and Russian scientists. If this research was real, it would probably be classified and the Navy would've used the mechanisms that exist for keeping patents secret.
There is an agreement in physics that low energy EM fields are called waves, such as radio waves, and high energy EM fields are called photons or even particles. In any case they are actually both. If they are physical objects I don't know. I think, I wouldn't go that far.
Stop running in circles and ship work that matters
Yup. The daughterboard is on my mind. Likely flex-PCB and that’s gonna take a week or two to respin. Hence I’m collecting ideas for various daughtercards I could cram in a panel before sending it off - straight-through to riser via USB3, expresscard SMT, maybe through-hole 1x?

That said, PCIe phy’s are extremely robust - they do most of the impedance matching and delay mismatch training. And if you don’t ruin the onboard caps, this could be jumpered straight across.
I use it casually. I got one of the "lifetime" accounts so it doesn't cost me anything and I put the odd bookmark into it. Best tool for the cost. I wasn't really sure about recommending it to other people though since it felt like it was being neglected (I have a pet bug on the site that is 2 years old - probably a wontfix ).

Radio waves are streams of photons, the fields are just a mathematical tool we use to describe this. And there are several of them, the classical electromagnetic field but also an entire set of fields involved in the quantum version.

Except you're measuring a population of France Télécom employees, not the average population of Normandie. Suicide may be high in Normandie because of unemployment, something that employees of France Télécom are not affacted by. Other things like educational achievement matter: e.g. in the US, "men and women aged ≥25 years with at least a college degree exhibited the lowest suicide rates" [0]. I don't have references for France but there are likely to be similar skews.

In this case there is a real question of if this is a clear phenomenon of workplace conditions induced suicide, as harassment, lack of proper training, and other poor conditions were widely reported, so while statistics are a useful tool they don't give all the pieces of the puzzle.

As a French person with family members who've worked at France Télécom, I can vouch that there are factors at play here involving perception of status and employment in French culture that may be novel to e.g. Americans. Japanese culture exhibits similar phenomena. The article summarizes it well:

“These companies were considered family,” Mr. Ledoux told the court. To be mistreated by one is extremely transgressive,” he said.

I always wondered what the deal was with Video BIOS on modern PCI-express graphics cards. Obviously it must exist, since int 10h still works.

Does video BIOS even need to be executed, though? I always assumed it was only necessary for the primary card to be able to display output during boot on PCs. (Otherwise, wouldn't two different cards trample over eachother's implementation of int 10h?)

Sorry for the probably-obvious questions, it's sometimes tricky to find good sources for weird information like this that are also up to date.

People have got at least some cards working on server-class arm setups. On the other hand I think they might be using the 'emulate x86 uefi rom in an arm uefi system' hack, so there might be more effort required on a non-uefi setup. Still, it should have shaken out most of the alignment and memory-cacheability-attibutes issues already, hopefully.
"But sure as usual just downvote all you want, that doesent make computer models or statistics any more science."

As usual. Ignorance, while feeling self righteous. But out of curiosity, have you actually studied some science, that you can make such bold claims, that computer models and statistics have nothing todo with science?

But maybe a different way: you really believe that all what humanity does, has no influence on the climate?

You can't quantify the complexity of something like an eye. The eye could actually be very very simple to form, due to circumstances and variables outside of our knowledge.

Scientists have discovered that the animal with the most genes--about 31,000--is the near-microscopic freshwater crustacean Daphnia pulex, or water flea. By comparison, humans have about 23,000 genes.

One of the most astonishing features of the D. pulex genome is its compactness: despite being around 200 Mb in size (around 16-fold smaller than the human genome which is 3,200 Mb in size); its 12 chromosomes contain a minimum set of 30,907 predicted protein-coding genes, more than the 20,000–25,000 contained in the human counterpart.

The unexpected complexity of the water flea genome compared with a human genome illustrates unknown dimensions of complexity that we cannot fully comprehend.

What this means is this. You do not know how complicated the original template of life is... the complexity for the first genome to produce instructions that allow for self replication to kick off evolution may be so complex that it could only happen once on our planet, once in this galaxy or once in the universe.

We simply do not have the knowledge to know the probability space of life on earth or life as we know it.
100 watt USB cables are a bit thick and unwieldy since they need to support a current of 5A. They also need better insulation, since they use a higher voltage (up to 20V).

If your phone can only charge at 10 watt (5V / 2A), why would you use a stiff, heavy 100W cable to charge it?
