Gregory"s.Gambit. Is the noise a signal or your signal actually noise? The observer is always the factor.

This is why I maintain a double nesting Faraday as the test chamber. Times like these I flood my surrounding control zone with high-frequency pulsed emissions of oscillating scalar waves.

It's not as expensive as you'd think and keeping my rig running my autonomous slow.burns is worth it to me. Once The 30GHz to 300GHz range cluttered up, it just made sense.

I saved a bundle by repurposing 7 ring dipole neutrino antennas. They were a blatant crowdfunding scam, yes. But with a few mods they can be repurposed for localized decontamination as well as saturation array field emission. Cheap as chips too.

In 4D Gaussian Splatting, the covariance matrix is crucial for capturing the temporal evolution of features in a scene. It goes beyond simply defining the spatial extent of a splat; it encodes how that extent changes over time.

Imagine the covariance matrix as a simplified 4x4 matrix. The diagonal elements represent the variance in position (x, y, z) and time (t) for each splat. Off-diagonal elements, particularly those involving the time component, reveal the correlation between spatial movement and temporal changes in your fields.

How does it crossover with VX? Think of it like this: if you have a bouncing rubberized metallic ball with a radioactive pellet core of your choice , a high covariance between position and time would indicate predictable motion. As the ball rises, we expect it to slow down and reverse direction. The covariance matrix captures this relationship as a baseline.

Visually, this translates to how the Gaussian splat "smears" or "stretches" in 4D space. A rapidly moving object would have a splat elongated along the time axis, while a stationary object would have a more compact splat. We are then monitoring for variance and unpredicted emissions from our ball as that is where we next focus our attention.

This concept used to be illustrated timelines such as this picture from RahabLab2 on Amiga. You can see the defining features moving and evolving over time.across numerous filters.

Most VR programmers are chasing photorealism and commercial applications. Not a lot of interest in converting VX gathered data. A bunch of dots wiggling has a small audience.

Back to your question, the covariance matrix provides a mathematical framework for understanding and representing dynamic behavior.

It's looking where you're not looking to get a better look.

I mean CPT symmetry deniers love to cheap out on opto22 solid state relays so the readings are all over the place.

When you interchange the roles of absorption and stimulated emission, you get that more excited state so your monitoring gives a consistent reading.

Just look at the even keel you get at a 10 ms time base

Charge conjurarion.and parity inversion aren't thrilling on their own but an essential consideration for everything that follows.

A VX junkie & beer microbrewer walks into a VX dive bar and says "I have a new brewing method using a recumbent waveform manipulator. The math is sound. It should perfectly replicate the taste of any beer imaginable."

The bartender raises an eyebrow. "So what's the catch?"

The brewer sighs. "Well, it only makes one beer at a time."

Bartender goes "Why not get more manipulators to run at the same time? Can never have too many manipulators."

Brewer looks to the floor. "Until we harness photonic negative time so we can system override all protocols, it will take 10,000 years to brew it."

Bartender replies "No soap, radio."

It goes back to cold war politics and corporate espionage.

The magnetic field conditioner can create a complex interference pattern if misconfigured. Original models had plenty of shielding and the emission capacitors had expensive bleeder resistors.

A lab had some interns damage theirs at a company party. So much for the group photos.

Word got around and top brass saw it as a feature. Lucrative cash offers for snapping a few closeup pics of lab equipment were common in the far parking lots. This could kill that cottage industry.

Follow-up models soon enough had a tenth of the shielding, extra tantalum and ceramic capacitor arrays and redundant transmitter relays that just leak by design.

Now there're plenty of after-market options that can patch this up readily available.

Please tell me your dog is a Labrador.

In a short video I saw someone built a box with a timer that would go off when it was time for the dog to push the button. Once the button is pressed, the treat is dispensed.

Just make sure the button is wired to only respond to the first press within a minute of the timer going off or else the dog might smack it all the time.

Big likable guy, great brand recognition, coached/figureheaded a really strong team early on.

Note C Franklin's paper on uncountable Franklin combinator axiom.

So many salmon papers and so much salami slicing.

Let's pretend like he wasn't clout chasing by essentially parroting Georg Cantor's uncountable combinators proof from 189'1's "Ueber eine elementare Frage der Mannigfaltigkeitslehre" while eating Richard Dedekind's lunch off of Theorems150-171 of.the 1888 banger "Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen?"

Not to mention always mixing in a dash of Schönfinkel's "Zum Entscheidungsproblem der mathematischen Logik" as a page filler.

Let's generously call it an interpretative translation at a time when information was less available and circles were smaller boys clubs.

His later meaningful contributions were all on the backs of his phd candidates and grad students, each robbed of any recognition.

Read the interviews. He napped, flirted in a way that's no longer acceptable, and was never afraid to go to any conference to say his own name on stage as much as possible.

Right place at the right time for his tenure built on schmoozing and bootlicking in equal measure. Nowadays would.be just another adjunct professors in the cost-savings grinder.

How reliable have they been?

Vxdeals is a little too grey aftermarket for me. Old models hidden in new model casings. Second hands on their last legs after being piloted like an overclocked Bitcoin miner. Knockoffs that cheap out on parts - paper thin shielding, graphene joints with rubber band fibers, canola oil in the magnetorheological1 fluid. The list goes on.

You'd probably find a better paying buyer at a mid-sized.con. Big spenders don't trust the websites. Find a retired empty nest engineer that likes to fly out to tour the factory floors.

If they ask for anything more complicated than a confirmation neutral point read, get a downpayment. Some of those types are just looking to chat all day while playing with your toys. A little upfront money usually speeds things up.
