#china 's #ccp are getting very mad that the #us shot down their #spy #balloon over #us #airspace https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. Apparently #china sent others too. How would #china #react if the #us sent a #spy #balloon into their #airspace unannounced, first denying it exists, then saying it was lost, then saying it was a company who sent it for #research ? They too would shoot it down. The #ccp are chancers.
Looks like the #wifi #tracking #algorithm based on #signal is back: https://hackaday.com/2023/01/26/tracking.. It appears the #research is actually #published this time. Looking at the #images at least it looks quite #accurate - scary, given #wifi is *everywhere.*
#drewdevault 's #article on #plan 9 is pretty cool, there is a lot I didn't know about the #research #os that seems obvious when it's said outloud: https://drewdevault.com/2022/11/12/In-pr.. Opening a #socket for example is insanely simple. I really hope that #unix can borrow more of these ideas.
This is a really cool 3D #printing #snap #connector #research #project to make #sturfy #connectors that don't break as easily: https://hackaday.com/2022/11/11/oh-snap-.. I never even considered 3D #printing such a thing!
Interesting, now I want to see more of this #magnetic #gearbox to #replace #gears https://hackaday.com/2022/10/08/magnetic.. It would be interesting to see if a high #torque version could be developed. Ideally a way to gear down a high speed #motor . Would need some #research .
I have a somewhat #secret #project I want to #publish for the #benefit of others, but I do not want to attach it to my name. It's not #illegal , but it isn't something that helps your #career , despite being for the greater good. I've done my #research and there is *nothing* out there like this. I'm wondering how I would go about #publishing such #information .
Interesting, apparently #china 's #research #funds into #silicon #chips has actually been spent on #holidays #abroad , several #trillion of it: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. You won't see much of this in a #western #university though, these #funds are tightly checked. #staff still take #holidays when at a #conference , but out of their own pockets.
A great list of #science and #technology #links https://lemire.me/blog/2022/08/07/scienc.. Notably, #alzheimer #research on the #amyloid #hypothesis was #fabricated . #depression was supposed to be low #serotonin - but this is #false . Due to #carbondioxide abundance, the #earth is getting #greener and will likely lead to #substantial #cooling .
Haha, the #imf are #celebrating how the #us narrowly #avoided a #recession - I think the victory is being #celebrate way too early here: https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/imf-.. I highly suspect they need to go away and do more #research , they somehow think the #us will come out of this smelling of roses... Yeah right.
Some cool #research on #hvm - a #hvm that converts a #functional #haskell like #language to a super fast #vm https://github.com/Kindelia/HVM It's a little #misleading in some parts, but the #parallel #computing is pretty cool!
Huh, it looks like the #proton may actually be smaller than previously thought! https://www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/020-2022 Generally I have been quite #impressed with the #research happening at the #university of #bonn !
Okay, so I have been following #jwz for years - I had zero idea he was a #founder of #mozilla https://mobile.twitter.com/jwz/status/14.. I just know him from his #xserver #research ! Anyway, this comes as the #mozilla #foundation have begun excepting #crypto #payments - which he correctly identifies as the planet destroying waste of time it is: https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/05/m..
Just a little running #commentary on some #research - things rarely work first time, and when they do, it's a #beautiful moment! Especially when it maps perfectly from #theory to #reality - you rarely get such a nice outcome.
Seems like #facebook are cocking it up more, by #censoring the #british #medical #journal #bmj and their #independent #research into the #clinical #trails behind the #covid #vaccine https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n263.. Bare in mind, this is one of the #oldest and most #respected #medical #journals *in the world.* Who on earth do these #factcheckers think they are to question them? Which "higher power" are they checking their #facts with? Or is it #advertisers ...?
I've actually run into this #research a few times... Turns out that these #portia #spiders are pretty #smart https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/10/..
More #negatives regarding #sex and anti- #depressants https://rxisk.org/post-ssri-sexual-dysfu.. Apparently this #study / #research shows that it reduces " #pleasure " and #stimulation from #sex ... And these are just #mediumterm #consequences - #longterm consequences are not even known yet.
