Hilarious how few folks reference this. I’ve found it to be pretty good!

I was a hobby beekeeper for a few years and grew to enjoy getting stung. It still hurts like hell at first but the ride down is lovely. Spicy foods might be another example.

I agree in general but the way this has worked for me in practice is that I approach things hierarchically up and down. Any specific hallucinations tend to come out in the wash as the same question is asked from different layers of abstrac

I do read the paper, but when you run into dense explanations like this: >To realize a programmable coherent optical activation function, we developed a resonant electro-optical nonlinearity (Fig. 1(iii)). This device directs a fraction

This is my take as well. There was a story a couple days ago about a neural network built on a single photonic chip. I fed the paper to ChatGPT and was able to use it to develop a much more meaningful and comprehensive understanding of wha

Yes it does, but unless we’re talking an entire system failue the GNSS denial does tend to have limits in range. I’ve picked up ADSB traffic from well over 200km with a simple ground antenna, so if you’re in the fringes in could be a usefu

I'm confident there are examples but I've yet to see anyone artfully navigate this. A few years ago a bunch of folks I followed started adding politics to the list of things they would regularly talk about, which I fully support.

That's a great idea. In the earlier days when they had about 2500 satellites in LEO I built a small visualizer from the fleet TLE data and it was remarkably simple with the skyfield library. If you're in the fringes of a GNSS den

I didn't see an explanation of what strapdown meant in this context, so I dug one up: "Traditional, stable-platform navigation systems commonly involve separate accelerators and fibers or laser-based gyroscopes, with all the compo

Infosec twitter had been self-immolating long before X. I basically solved the influx of weird stuff in one night by blocking everything that wasn’t related to my interests. The next day I was reading about rockets from my rocket peeps, r

I think a nanosat running a CA that you can directly via some kind of low cost RF channel would be a fun experiment.

I'd do this then three years later realize that something broke and it's just been feeding zeroes for the last 18 months.

I'm sure you'll get a better answer eventually but yes photodiodes are widely available that have sub-nanosecond response time, and the output could potentially be used in its raw analog form do whatever modulation they are descri

Agreed, that’s why products of that nature start to break when you do.

I think my point is we are losing the option to worry about it or not. There needs to be an answer with a runbook to restore services within a given window of time should we lose that vendor.

Most of the companies exposed to this are already going to be running a number of geographically diverse datacenters and have been exposed to regulations around basic DR/BCP for decades. >at some point in the chain somebody has to d

It's an astonishing amount of overhead that slows everything to a veritable crawl. It also creates downstream issues because you need to build in contingencies for your service consumers until you are able to fully abstract the depend

Tangential at best but I work in a regulated industry and we're starting to get some heavy scrutiny from external auditors and regulators on the way we plan to address extended outages and forced exits from third party vendors. This g

One note to consider here is that JPMC has, over the past 4-5 years, invested over a billion dollars in renovating and rebuilding several major offices (270 Park and Polaris being major efforts). It's not entirely unlikely this is rela

I'm nearly certain it's irrelevant but it does make me wonder where parts of the rockets used to launch the ballistic missiles that were recently put into hostile action would have landed.

It would have been supersonic at a very high altitude and likely came in at a steep angle, so sonic boom + large exposure area + long path.
