@mur2501 KVL and KCL?

@mur2501 Well I cant help too much in semiconductor design as I never designed a chip itself. Though I do understand some domains that you need to know to design a chip and are closely related... like digital logic, or even just general electronic circuit analysis.

Where are yo in your journey right now, do you know anything in the field, even just basic stuff?

@zpartacoos Depends on what you mean... Writing somethign from scratch that behaves like Aparapi for python would be totally doable. But that is a lot of work.

What one could do is use jPython and therefore immediately leverage Aparapi as is... Generally Aparapi should, in theory, work on any JVM language (though we dont test for many of them).

@mur2501 In all likelihood so did my mom :)

I am tempted to solder up this monstrosity and see if it actually works... I love the idea of feedback circuits.

@icedquinn I'm not entierly sold on solid state turbines, but im still eager to see where they go.

My mom: Only natural remedies are safe

Also my mom: Have you tried this new light therapy, you stick a LED up your nose it it blasts your brain with Infrared radiation through a carefully designed control board that tunes the light beam.

@e

I often point out how math is magick (as is chemistry and most of science)... we just stop calling it that once we started to understand it. As if magick had the prerequisite of being illogical or something.

@georgia @chj0

@namark lol... if i ever started such a project I probably just setup some example pages and structure it and hope others helped... I dont have time for something like this on my own. I am no Hilbert thats for sure :)

@sjw

Sort of. Rf line of sight os not the same as visual line of sight. The horizon is a different effective distance based on frequency to some extent due to refraction.

Higher tower also significantly extends the apparent horizon and will allow it to get past some obstacles.

Very short, it sounds like a subsecond echo.never more than a second unless im bouncing off the moon

@camedei456

I have a roof top antenna and I can an have sent signals that go around the entire earth and I can hear myself on the receive end by the time it travels full circle back to me (though admittedly this is rare). It is not uncommon however for me to be able to talk both ways over the radio from the USA to europe or father.

@lupyuen I would imagine we seem fairly primitive to any aliens capable of visiting us, we cant even get a human to mars (yet), which would seem trivial to an alien that has mastered light speeds or even FTL

@lupyuen Is that their version of a timeout for the human race for misbehaving, like taking away a kids TV privileges?

@lucifargundam ahh yes, but since we are talking about a space hotel orbiting earth that is a moot point. Once your in orbit thats the easy part if your not in a rush :)

@lucifargundam Ion thrusters would be useless in this situation. Ion thrusters are useful once your in space, they are useless when it comes to getting off the planet.

@lucifargundam The day someone creates an efficient high-thrust electric rocket that can operate in a vacuum is a day physics is going to change on a very fundamental level.
