Call me crazy but I recall the Turris Omnia was 350 € last time I looked (~3 years ago). It could also take a fiber line as input, right?


Sounds about correct! I have one that I bought in 2018 but I remember it being more like 450+ € at the time.

I have had a fiber line connected during the whole time and it has served me well (I haven't done much customizing on it though, I have to admit. It's just the router for my home network).


Unlike PulseAudio, dbus, and other userland components, it is perfectly possible to have a Linux system which works with most software without systemd. runit and OpenRC are two of the most popular init alternatives, which are just inits, and nothing else, unlike systemd. You might argue you have to use logind and udev, but that has been spun off into elogind and eudev. There is also seatd as an alternative to elogind, which is quite big itself.


SUVs are being sold like candy, and they are heavier than your regular sedan. This is especially so in the US, where it's not just SUVs but also trucks, and they are both bigger and heavier than in Europe. Being heavy is not exclusive to EVs.


do you happen to be working in CUCO?


No, but some colleagues do. Also, I think some of my simulation software will start to be used by the project.


Ah cool, will it be open sourced?

I'm on that project myself, we are also dealing with simulating circuits, buuut I feel like we could improve our approach somewhat lol. For example, we had a bunch of trouble trying to speed things up, I immediately thought of trying to make most things run on a GPU but we quickly found out that our circuits just have too few qubits to be parallelized decently.

More importantly, I am not very optimistic (to say the least) about the short- to medium-term real-world applications of quantum circuits we are looking into (we do time series classification, which is quite removed from other domains which work better on these computers), and I got the same feeling from the literature. Should I be feeling differently?


I find it incredibly funny that this appears a couple of days after I finished my master's thesis. I realized I made a bit of a blunder a week before handing it in: I thought the Hilbert transform gets rid of the aliasing when a real signal's bandwidth reaches below the frequency origin and into negative frequencies, which it doesn't. The bandwidth "folding" is still there, but the negative frequency components are gone (which I did know). Since I got rid of the negative frequencies because of the symmetry of real signals about the frequency origin, there wasn't any point in doing the Hilbert transform. Thankfully I checked all the preprocessing steps I carried out in the thesis, and weeded out this unnecessary step.

In my defense, please do bear in mind that I have not had a thorough education in signal processing, physics degrees don't usually have courses like this. I know Hilbert spaces much more well than I do the Hilbert transform.


I am an analytical chemistry PhD student about to turn in my dissertation, and I also have had no thorough education in signal processing, and had to teach myself what I know. It's really a shame because I do know a ton about the phenomena that produce signals that we analyze, but very little about the signals themselves. Kind of a deficiency in my education I suppose.


I just so happen to be working on that at my company, but sadly we do not seem to be hiring more for this position, and I don't think you'd like how low salaries are in southern Europe.


Radar signals are modulated in very specific ways, which are visible right away even with plenty of noise on a spectrogram. Classifying the modulation of radar signals is something common in military contexts, since it allows you to listen for emissions and be able to tell if it's an enemy or an ally. I bet it has more uses than that, but it's the first one I could think of.


> The question is how much power the anti-gravity requires.

This is essentially a case of "draw the rest of the owl".


We do not know if and I bet plenty of people do not believe such negative energy really exists.

Besides, all warp bubble metrics so far are inertial; meaning the ship is unable to accelerate, so they're a gimmick nowadays. I have hopes we find something workable though.


>We do not know if and I bet plenty of people do not believe such negative energy really exists.

Plenty of people believe that mental problems are all caused by disembodied souls unleashed by Xenu of the Galactic Confederation when he blew them up with A-bombs in Hawaii, back when Earth was called Teegeeack.

What "plenty of people" believe is not important.


Also, "plenty of people" used to believe the Earth was flat, or that the Sun orbited it.
