2·6 hours agohumans start breathing only when 3 years old, don’t you know?
2·6 hours agofrom what i understand, it’s also impossible to copy this thing and every single instance will turn out slightly different. also it will continue to learn on whatever data it is fed so you might end up with something useful, that will degrade, is on a timer and has no backups
doubling down is mandatory for acausal blackmail reasons
professionalism or any kind of plan doesn’t matter when you have thielbux (or equivalent) (guessing)
incidentally, this is also their current best shot at turning rube goldberg cash burn pit into something that’s not one
“there is a global far right conspiracy that attempts to reinvent alchemy, colonize space and build a machine god, which they intend to use to enslave everyone else. it’s informed by misreading of old scifi and racism, but it only took off after certain hp fanfic was written. currently it’s commanded by a californian polycule with a drug problem, but also counts in their ranks white house officials, and possibly some from russian government”
unfortunately this does not make a great conversation starter. whaat? a cult took over an entire government of south korea? this could never happen here
where does thiel/paypal mafia funding situation, urbit, other fashware and broader reactionary connection (yarvin etc) fit into that
also, that one oral bacteria startup
cmos logic still beats it, because main source of heat are switching losses (all these gate + parasitic capacitances being charged and discharged, and some related phenomena). relays store more energy, and that makes situation worse, even if you make them as MEMS
right? and even then you have to go slow with explanation, otherwise you just sound like a crank
i’ll also note that assembly of reply guys decided that room temperature superconductors will magically solve energy requirements of silicon-based chips (this is not how any of this works)
2·5 days agoBy coincidence, per Zitron, this is also in the ballpark ratio by which chatbots used to be subsidized
and also it’s not the entire problem, just a segment of it (no idea how big it is)
that’s just “machine god will figure out relativity from three video frames” in another form
arguably it’s stupider than that
and this doesn’t even go into whether pallet of lean spaghetti is in any way insightful, or does it explain anything, or does any of these things manmade proofs do
wtf is deal of that segyges person. now they’re convinced that openai will solve room temperature superconductors in silico real soon, because altman vagueposted about it
and this all based on lk-99 fraud case, nevermind that there’s no high temperature superconductivity theory, or how prohibitively computationally expensive computational chemistry is, and i guess it’s not accurate enough anyway, this all with people that do computational chemistry coming in their thread trying to explain this, then posts this
one of them also works for anthropic
also, the unfounded confidence of openai guy makes me think that they might have done that before, and some random grad might have folded much easier under this kind of pressure
and looks like there’s another case of openai thievery https://xcancel.com/ValerioCapraro/status/2097791836269977996 https://bsky.app/profile/timhenke.bsky.social/post/3mv4ouxlnsk2z
the purpose of system is what it does
openhamprep explanation is wrong
When you consider a segment of wire, it has some inductance and capacitance in that small segment, and the wider it is, the lower inductance and higher capacitance are. In other words, both X_L and X_C go down as diameter increases. Electric field lines within antenna are mostly perpendicular to wire everywhere except on ends, where they spread in all directions, which means that there’s some residual capacitance there that needs to be charged each cycle. This is called end effect and the wider wire is, the more of it you get. In fact, the same aspect ratio (length/diameter) gets you the same end effect ratio each time, and it’s usually in range of 0.98-0.95. If there’s insulation, then insulation has lower velocity of propagation as it has higher permittivity than air, and it is in place with highest electric field intensity, and this can also shorten necessary wire length a couple %. The more insulation there is, the more shortened antenna becomes
But wait, there’s more. We can think of antenna as a lossy resonator, where R is Rrad which for halfwave dipole would be 72 ohms, + loss resistance which is smaller, and neither are changing fast with frequency. What is changing faster is X_L and X_C, and the wider wire is, the smaller both of them are, and this means that you can go further off frequency and still have acceptable SWR, i.e. antenna made with wider wire has more bandwidth. For HF this means using masts or wire cages instead of single wire, but for VHF this gets more practical
Rrad depends on physical antenna length, and if antenna is shortened, then how it was done, but for the range we’re here it won’t change much
you can consider antenna wire as a transmission line, but it will need to include ground as the other side of transmission line, and then impedance is dependent on wire diameter to height over ground ratio. it’s not very useful
