bump. this thing can apparently go on water and land. its got two cameras on it but im sure you anons get the idea

I'm an employee at Cisco Systems. I won't provide proof for obvious reasons, but keep this in mind despite taking this information with a grain of salt. I can tell you that the quantum leveraged networking that the Chinese have recently announced a success isn't impressive considering my company has been working with the DOD for around 10 years now.

Fiber networks are nothing compared to what we've created together. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to release this technology to the public for another 8 years. Let's just say that quantum leveraged networking will change everything from security to the devices we use. 8 more years until all of our lives change dramatically, in ways we haven't seen since the birth of the internet at DARPA.

>>134599218
Holy shit, the boulder from Indiana Jones is riped now.

>>134600194
AI is meme fluff from silicon valley, the real shit is when cryptography becomes impossible to man in the middle because the quantum spooky freaks out if the signal is meddled.
right now all crypto relies on centralized entities called certificate authorities to verify authenticity of keys.
imagine a world without the need for the CA cabal, this is a bright future if so.

Nothing will change except for more degeneracy. And nothing is secure as long as humans have a hand in it. And you're a faggot. A gazillion companies do research for DARPA and all the info is compartmentalized regardless of security rating so fuck right off back to your little unicorn fantasy world faggot.

>>134600194
AI is just one piece of the puzzle. Although we don't handle the development of AI itself, I suspect AI is one of the things the DOD is using their quantum mesh Network for. From a security aspect all quantum leveraged traffic is impossible to sniff. The real revolutionary thing about QLN is that there is vitually no latency despite the distance between point a and point b. Distance no longer matters. It's only limited by forces that are still unknown to us.

Keep in mind that quantum networking is different than quantum computing.

>>134598775

I'm a researcher, not in the field of machine learning but I understand it well enough to give a quick overview, some one more knowledgeable can probably expand / correct what I write.

Machine learning is essentially a statistical technique except instead of using statistics to extract some parameters from your data you use it to predict what those parameters might be based on some data. Really machine learning is useful for predicting what an unknown parameter might be. Take for example an algorithm designed to estimate the best price you should sell your house for. If I gave you a list of the price of 10,000 houses recently sold in your market along with a bunch of features of those houses such as square footage, location to a school, number of floors, proximity to grocery store, size of backyard, etc, you could use that data to predict what you should sell your house for. This is literally all machine learning is, doesn't sound that fancy, does it? The reason why it's becoming so big now is because there's so much more data available than there was before. Now you can predict what someone will buy based on their previous purchases along with what websites they browse, or who they will vote for based on their facebook likes (and whether they can have their vote swung).

Anyone have any redpills on solar power? Everything I have read is that solar power is getting cheaper, and that we are right around the corner from a solar energy revolution which could eliminate our reliance on importing Saudi oil, which would completely reshape geopolitics. What will the muzzies do when nobody needs their oil?

>>134602144

We're not right around the corner, solar is only cheap because it's heavily subsidized by the government (those subsidies are going to end soon). We are maybe 10 years away from solar power actually being cheap without the government fucking everything up, however there's also the issue of how to store the power which is an issue (right now we use lithium batteries which are expensive, rare and bad for environment)

>>134602532
Yeah, and I know that solar panels are super toxic to produce/dispose of, though there's research being done to find alternatives (though there's always research being done).

The articles that I've read seem to indicate that solar is going to be cost competitive even without subsidies due to economics of scale and competition kicking into effect as the market expands. Also, lithium-sulfur batteries are going to hit the mainstream in 2020 via Sony if I remember correctly, which have a much higher energy density than lithium ion. Also, molten salt/solar concentrating power towers seem to make industrial scale solar a possibility, going off the fact that China is going to invest something like 360 billion into solar by 2020

the problem is chinks aren't good at making new things. That being said if they do make something that works it's much easier to steal that design than it is to create it new (aka what chinks always do to the US), so US can easily steal their technology.

I do believe they will spend $360B on solar energy, but I don't believe the $360B will be spent in a way that really does something terribly productive. Anyways here's hoping but as far as I've read solar power is still very expensive

>>134604848
Well the thing is, one of the biggest impediments to the widespread adoption of solar isn't a technical problem, but an economic one. More spending on solar drives down costs and increases competition, which is why you have people predicting that solar is going to be the predominant new form of energy generation

Dunno, I'm not an expert in UK renewable energy, but I'd encourage you to investigate it more. The Bloomberg New Energy Outlook 2017 report is also predicting that we are facing a massive disruption in the energy market, driven by solar and wind
https://about.bnef.com/new-energy-outlook/
Key findings:
> 72% of the $10.2 trillion spent on new power generation worldwide to 2040 will be invested in new wind and solar PV plants
> Solar is already at least as cheap as coal in Germany, Australia, the U.S., Spain and Italy. The levelized cost of electricity from solar is set to drop another 66% by 2040.
By 2021, it will be cheaper than coal in China, India, Mexico, the U.K. and Brazil as well.
> Onshore wind levelized costs will fall 47% by 2040, thanks to cheaper, more efficient turbines and advanced OPEX regimes. In the same period, offshore wind costs will slide a whopping 71%, helped by experience, competition, and economies of scale.
> China and India lead in energy investment account for 28% and 11% of all investment in power generation to 2040. Just under a third of Asia Pacific’s investment in energy will go to wind, a third to solar, 18% to nuclear and 10% to coal and gas
> Utility-scale batteries increasingly compete with natural gas to provide system flexibility at times of peak demand. In conjunction with small-scale batteries, this will help renewable energy reach 74% penetration in Germany, 38% in the U.S., 55% in China and 49% in India by 2040.
> In Europe and the U.S., EVs will account for 13% and 12% of electricity demand by 2040. Charging EVs flexibly, when renewables are generating and wholesale prices are low, will help the system adapt to intermittent solar and wind.

>>134607208
I'll admit that I've not looked into it too much, but my gut is telling me that it's not so much that solar is becoming competitive here, it;s that they were ratcheting up the burden placed on traditional generation through carbon taxes etc making it less competitive. Apparently to the point that fucking solar power on a rainy, sunless island is cheaper...

Dunno what to tell you anon, but I'd encourage you to check into it and report back. From the sounds of it though, offshore wind and concentrating solar power are non-memes, and I'm hopeful that in the future we'll be able to stop buying Saudi oil.

If lithium sulfur batteries become a thing, then distributed energy storage like Tesla's powerpacks could realistically be used with residential rooftop PV panels (in some areas). The main thing is that solar power/wind + storage isn't economical for most people, so there is very limited reason to adopt it for everyone who isn't a diehard environmentalist

Solar's cheap enough where there's a lot of sunlight.

In Australia they have utility companies lobbying for mandatory utility-taxes because so many people have been buying up solar it's been driving them out of business.

They also want to increase taxes on solar panel imports and I'm sure they'll push even further to force people to connect to the grid and tax them for that.

Yep, I'm crossing my fingers for widespread adoption of decentralized power storage + electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are redpilled because they don't support the oil Jew, and allows for off-grid living in a way that isn't possible now. They have lower maintenance costs because there are fewer moving parts, but the downside is that if something goes wrong you can't fix it yourself.

>>134605512

Solar is competitive without subsidies in a few areas now. One of the main problems to wider adoption is government. Most electrical grids/providers are government run and aren't really optimized for costs or don't really properly reflect cost to consumers.

For instance, the cost of electricity should be higher during high demand when generation capacity is constrained. However, most consumers don't see this as they pay a flat rate.

In Texas, the have deregulated the electricity market in which private companies are responsible for generating/selling the power. The state is divided into thousands of electrical markets and the price of electricity is segmented into 15 minute blocks. Power generators (coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind) all quote what they will charge for each block of power in each market. Demand is forecast by ERCOT, which runs the state electrical grid. The lowest price gets to generate the power first, followed by the next, then the next.

What ends up happening is that the erratic power generation of wind/solar is already factored into the price of power along with the impact to other generators. Solarpower works the best when it is in the middle of the day, right when demand is high. As such, the cost of power is higher and solar power can be sold at the higher price and have better return on investment. Power is cheap at night, so solar no producing power doesn't matter.

NASA was genuinely investigating "gravitational shielding" using superconductors. Google around for "Eugene Podkletnov" and "Ning Li". I've seen a working impulse generator, though I can't find the video atm. Additionally, the Biefield Brown effect has been observed in a vacuum - you will notice that tests performed by public-facing laboratories use "lifters" (dielectric == air - so it won't work in the vacuum) or incorrectly designed asymmetric capacitors. The capacitor needs to be cone or triangle-shaped, fully encased, and use a fairly dense dielectric.

I've heard about this, afaik the process involves static electricity in a vacuum to some degree, something about electron transferal, idk I'm not a chemist, but its something that you can set up in your average public sector lab on the microscopic scale easily enough.

True
Now that Bose-Einstein condensates are being "discovered" and reproduced in public labs now, I wonder fi we're gonna be seeing the usage of it in industry anytime soon.

Source? As much as I would love to have fusion reactors, they have been 5-10 years away for what, 50 years? We should absolutely fund these projects, but I wouldn't count on them being energy positive in a long time

>>134622376
Well I mean not even 5 years back everyone was screeching that making this stuff would be outright physically impossible
And now everybody's making it
Stuff's changing so rapidly in the sciences these days, next thing you know we'll find some way to do something useful with the Casimir effect, and "Vacuum energy" will be less some fringe pseudo-science only backed up by small scale experiments, and never talked about due to virtual particles implication for our current understanding of thermodynamics, and instead a legitimate area of study,
Point is shit's getting going, fast.

is useful for supplies for at home experiments and stuff, once in a blue moon they'll carry the stuff needed for a fusor that I linked earlier

Other then that, just lurk places like /sci/, /diy/, and the rare useful thread here I guess

2 minute papers is awesome for getting all this info. Particualry all the machine learning advances/tech uses and improvements.

Well, I mean, something like the internet had such huge socio/political impacts that it is still and likely never will be able to be fully controlled, like how smuggling and black markets are impossible to fully pin down.

And something like some of the stuff discussed here in this thread, like anti-gravity craft for example, could have huge impacts, I mean if half the stories of them are true and everything went public?

Fusion is absolutely gonna fucking happen, though. It's not just a pipe dream any more.

Keep an eye on the following companies: Tri-Alpha Energy, Tokamak Energy, Helion Energy, General Fusion, EMC2. One of them will make it across the finish line in the next decade, for real. Maybe more than one will.

ITER will never achieve practical power. They've basically admitted as such in recent articles. It's going to be someone else who takes the scientific findings they've achieved and makes a better way forward.

>>134625393
given the more recent discoveries as well, like how the "Dark Flow" might be some sort of "mega-structure" larger then our observable universe that is somehow responsible for gravity in our universe, acting on the bubble that is our universe in some way and the dark flow is just it leaking in

And other shit like that, I'm more inclined to believe its some sort of bizarre natural phenomena that, when better understood will greatly advance our understanding of how stuff works.
Like when we first found Quasars

>>134625649
there's always that laser based one on the west coast here

Tell you what, I will continue to not get my hopes up, and if I am wrong, that will be a pleasant surprise, rather than getting my hopes up and having them dashed to pieces. Fusion is a moonshot.

Lithium sulfur batteries are going to be an actul game changer
