Position to position. 12 bits. Plus occasionally, an extra 12 bits for promotion. Promotion found by impossible position prefix. Whether it’s a capture, check, castle, what piece, etc. all interpreted by a reader program. What am I missing

You are confusing geometry, and the excitation traveling through that geometry.

But it needs SPACE, on the order of a few um minimum, that cannot be occupied by other devices.

The deBroglie wavelength of the photon IS its wavelength. That’s why it can’t squeeze into nm features and optical waveguides are still not used on-chip, after 35 years of effort.

Unless computation can be accomplished on differing overlapping frequencies, wdm devices, which resemble train switchyards, are huge, on the order of mm. So optical computing would have to take place at multi THz switching rates using very

Referring to computing, not data transmission. Perhaps some day, using quantum computing, all those differing ‘portly’ photons, superimposed, could yield advances in density. To mix different wavelength streams on chip involves wdm devices,

And at 1.5 um. Compare that to a 3nm electron architecture.

Are you sure? Are you expert enough to read those papers? How do you achieve large scale integration in waveguides transparent to available laser sources? How does 250nm compare to the integration in your cell phone’s cpu? And we are decade

Hundreds of of millions of dollars have been raised from naive investors by ignoring this fact. Often, board-member and founder physics PhD’s aid in the deception by omission.

All optical computing surfaces again! Warning. There is NO opportunity for large scale integration, the MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT in computing. This is because the de Broglie wavelength of the information carriers, typically 1.5um, is so HUGE.

“ Many people and businesses find it inconvenient when financial systems are down. It also seems unnecessary.” They make money on the float when money doesn’t move. They make money by efficient compression of business with fewer workdays.

Huh? Did you flunk freshman physics? E=K+U=GmM/2r−GmM/r=−GmME/r. We can see that the total energy is negative, with the same magnitude as the kinetic energy. For circular orbits, the magnitude of the kinetic energy is exactly

I expected, from the title, to see locales in the world where predicted dystopias came to pass… not movie sets.

Between 9-5, you are right. Then, the action starts. (When I worked in Germany, they practically locked the doors at 5.)

Ok, big vacuum systems, (you need about 1E-4 torr for an e-beam) are not efficient for garbage treatment. Your comment is a good one; although I thought it was the low throughput that made e-beam photolithography impractical. Ok, so we don’

Electron beams are not cost efficient in photolithography. And it is proposed to use electron beams to treat water or garbage?

Photography has been very well developed technically for almost a century. Yet very little is considered art. The most interesting AI art, to me, are “image compilations” where the compiler appears to have taken just a bit of LSD.

I like this idea very much. Is this similar to human moderation of training data?

Well, for now, anyway. I went to college in the 70’s. What strikes me is, once obviously wrong hallucinations are eliminated, LLM’s will do exactly what untalented liberal arts students did with their time, but with some useful stuff tacked

Because it is the product of the likelihood and the consequence, not just the likelihood that matters.

No, I unprotected it so people could read it. I guess I’ll have to be more explicit.

Is Germany being used for development or as a database? I have reservations about Germany’s 9-5/work-life balance culture being compatible with high performance in development.

Huh? The electronics is cheap and trivial. All the science is in those strips.

If you call an HVAC firm in Tucson, often they simply use the call to try to sell you a brand new unit, making disparaging comments about the condition of the current unit, and outright lying about its fixability.

People who understand this industry can answer in a single word. Fanuc. And when Fanuc realized that only GE was capable of competing with it in the computer controls needed to run machine tools (and wasn’t doing shit, another Welchism), it

Fluorite is an obsolete term in the optical engineering community. The term used today is simply “calcium fluoride.” Calcium fluoride windows are used extensively as the expendable windows of the 308nm XeCl laser, which anneals every thin f

One loser could be Microsoft. I found, almost inadvertently, that when Apple essentially bricked Drive on my 2013 MacBook Pro, I could open a new Chrome window (not actually necessary, but neater workflow) and simply run Drive and Sheets th
