Unless I am missing something, the article doesn't actually explain HOW this was done, nor does it link to a research paper or other source that explains it.
In my mind, this disqualifies this article from being something "that good hackers would find interesting" and thus not appropriate for this site.
(Please someone, tell me I missed the part where they actually explained it.)

- TeMPOraL 2y agoTechnobabble in TNG-era shows was actually quite consistent and even made sense if you squinted at it.
- mrandish 2y agoYes, there were people on the production staff who, in addition to other duties, were responsible for maintaining as much consistency as possible in both technical descriptions and capabilities with prior episodes and Star Trek canon. Mike Okuda was one such person. Obviously, the show was fiction and made for a broad general audience, so their technical inputs were sometimes 'streamlined' by the producers to minimize too much technical explication dialogue. But they generally did try to get enough on-screen to be both series-consistent and technically plausible within the fictional universe.
