I'm a simple man. All I want is to build a generational company that brings heavy industry back to America at the largest possible scale.

12 months owning the three months with the right edge AI supercomputer (45 TOPS) hardware everything for two video ports, total cost $600! The AI elements massively supercharge SDR. I’ve already got support for PTZ camera and now Passive Radar. I did the hard stuff first because so many wait for last and the project burns I’m out. This part is hard so I am doing the hard parts and sharing the rest with others. I’m writing a paper for SCU to earn my full membership rating.

After a few months work the passive radar code is fully functional. This is with two antennas and an RSP-duo listening to a microwave emitter.

WEAPONIZED will drop TODAY like an ATOMIC BLAST. However, whispers matter most… pay attention to the whispers. There is no stopping this episode from reaching your eyes and ears and hearts. @G_Knapp and I don’t have control over that, anymore. We will post a link here on X when it is understood what EXACT time it will go LIVE today. So mark my words - you will see and hear the WEAPONIZED episode TODAY (PST). However… @G_Knapp and I can post the link for you, but we can’t watch it for you. That’s your part. So do your part - if you are fighting for truth and transparency on UAP and human freedoms of thought (born from freedom of speech)… and care what happens to you and me (collectively). Do your part. It’s simple. This is ONE small step for A man (might seem insignificant); but it’s ALSO, ONE GIGANTIC leap of faith - in trusting human nature, the nature of being a human. BEING a human BEING 😉 Words are WEAPONS. They are ALREADY weaponized. You just need to hear them NOW. And THAT’S the opportunity HERE. TAKE IT. ALL the rest - ALL of it. That’s up to ALL of us, together. As we ARE together, whether we like it - or not. GO GO UFO! 🛸 🫡 🧨👊🏼👀🥋🪐🦅🛸🏴‍☠️

@Houseofyogi Ya…. but there are probably a handful of us who could lead IBM back into a position of thought leadership.

Don't be IBM and fumble an 18yr head start on AI IBM was the most valuable company on Earth. Invented the hard drive. The PC. The floppy disk. The ATM. DRAM. SQL. The barcode. Most US patents 29 years straight. 405,000 employees. 70% mainframe market share. Today: $231 billion. 67th in the world. Anthropic. Founded 2021. Four years old. $380 billion. Every piece of the bag was fumbled... Invented the PC. Sold to Lenovo: $1.75 billion. Invented the hard drive. Sold to Hitachi: $2 billion. Server business. Sold to Lenovo. Basically nothing. Now the chips. This is pure comedy. IBM was the largest semiconductor manufacturer on Earth. Fabs in New York. Fabs in Vermont. 16,000 patents. They PAID GlobalFoundries $1.5 billion cash to take it. Gave away the factories. Gave away the patents. $4.7 billion write-down. IBM had American fabs. They paid to close them. And the same Democrats who scream about chips going overseas are the ones whose policies made it too expensive to build here. We wouldn't have TSMC/Taiwan issues today. Decisions have consequences. TSMC: $700 billion. Nvidia: $5 trillion. IBM paid to exit chips right before chips became the most valuable industry on Earth. Incredible timing. Deep Blue beats Kasparov. Live television. First machine to outthink a human world champion. IBM owned AI. Not as a buzzword. As a fact. On camera. In front of the whole planet. OpenAI did not exist for another 18 years. Anthropic for another 24. Nvidia was making cards so teenagers could play Halo. Google was two grad students sharing a dorm room. IBM had an 18-year head start on the entire AI industry. What did they do with it. They dismantled Deep Blue. Put it in a museum. Same mentality as every socialist (cough dems) who wants to regulate AI before it ships. Celebrate the breakthrough. Kill the follow-through. Watson wins Jeopardy. Destroys the two greatest players alive on national TV. Most famous AI brand on the planet. IBM spends billions on Watson Health. AI that cures cancer. Their engineers flagged it unsafe. Instead of fixing it they sold it for scraps. Then killed the brand entirely. Loser mentality. IBM Research. Decades of NLP work. The compute. The talent. The CEO looks at LLMs and says "no thanks." Two years later ChatGPT launches. 100 million users in two months. The entire economy reorganizes around the exact technology IBM looked at and said nah. That is like having Google's algorithm in 1997 and deciding to build a phonebook. The suits and the consultants took over. Same thing that kills every city, every agency, every institution that picks socialism over competition. $201 billion in buybacks over 25 years. More on buybacks than CAPEX. They could have funded every AI lab on Earth with that money. Instead they bought their own stock while the stock went down. Revenue down 22 straight quarters. Nobody fired. Name another job where you lose $95 billion in market cap and get a raise. Actually don't. That job only exists at IBM and in Congress. Buffett bought $12 billion in IBM. The greatest investor alive. Held six years. Dumped it on CNBC. "I was wrong." Put the money in Apple. Best investment in Berkshire history. They had the patents. The labs. The engineers. The brand. An 18-year head start on AI. Replaced the builders with bureaucrats. Chose buybacks over R&D. Chose administration over competition. Lost everything. Now look at who wants to run the same playbook on the AI economy. Bernie wants data center moratoriums. Tax the builders before they finish building. Ro Khanna represents $18 trillion in Silicon Valley market cap. Apple. Nvidia. Google. His district built AI. He just held a Stanford town hall with Bernie called "Who Controls AI: The Oligarchs or The People." Wants to tax unrealized gains. Pause data centers. Put unions on AI boards. Redistribute wealth that hasn't been created yet. His own district is trying to primary him. Not because he's too progressive. Because he's trying to kneecap the industry that made his district the most valuable zip code on Earth. That is IBM energy. Tax the engineers. Slow the builders. Add a committee. Wonder why nothing works. Gavin ran California from a $97 billion surplus into a $68 billion deficit. Lost 789 companies. Tesla. SpaceX. Oracle. Chevron. 200,000 people leaving per year. And he thinks he should have a say in how AI gets built nationally. The guy who can't keep In-N-Out Burger in California wants to regulate the most important technology since electricity. These aren't hypotheticals. This is the IBM playbook in real time. Replace engineers with regulators. Replace competition with committees. Replace building with administrating. And act shocked when the talent leaves and the lead disappears. IBM went from first to 67th. 1.43% a year for 28 years. A savings account beat that. Don't let them do it to America. Name a bigger fumble. I'll wait.

Things I learned as a Sysadmin.. 1.) Some Quantum effects exist at the macro level. You can NOT touch something in a data center without impacting it. 2.) Losing the lights when you have floor panels pulled is REALLY dangerous. 3.) A system that halts when you remove a panel is never documented in large  enough font or in enough places. 4.) Serial devices at boot will sometimes send a "reset" signal. PUT THEM ON UPS. 5.) "We'll do it right later" never ever happens. 6.) Somewhere right now, someone is hard coding an ipaddress into some codeor script. 7.) A port that is listening, can be told things. 8.) If you always do things the way everyone else does it, you don't learn. 9.) If you do things in ways no one does it you will find things that QA did not. (see #8) 10.) Things that spin for a long time, may not be as healthy as you think. Stop them, and they may never spin again. 11.) Never refer to a process that your customer will hear about as "shocking  the drive" (see #10) 12.) Any device you can't get console on remotely will fail between 2am and 8am on weekends and holidays. 13.) Applying redo logs can take longer than restoring the drive from tape. 14.) Anyone that says "nothing changed" is a damn liar. 15.) Developers should never ever under any circumstances have root access. 16.) Sudo is your friend. (see #15) 17.) Bandwidth, Storage and Closets are somehow cosmically connected. If there is room, it will be used. 18.) The most universal thing in all datacenters in every corner of Earth is "Keep it Simple Stupid" 19.) NO one puts those little plastic stoppers back into Fibre cables. 20.) A fibre cable placed "just for a second" on top of a server that does not have those little plastic stoppers inserted is actually a very small vacuum cleaner. (see #19) 21.) Once a system has been running for a while, there is really no such thing as sudden death. Something somewhere complained, perhaps even screamed before death, you just weren't listening. 22.) TTLs are very very important. So is DNS cache. You will think about about this if you ever move datacenters and don't remember what is important. 23.) When test that an application is back up after a maintenance, a positive test from within your network does NOT mean the Users can really get to it. 24.) When you are oncall, the best way to ensure everything goes smoothly is to be totally bored. Because if you start having fun, something will crash. 25.) The person who volunteers to write the Post Mortem Report has a statistically proven lower probability of being at fault. 26.) If any of these commands are foreign to you, you are working too hard:  mtr, lsof, nmap, telnet ipadd port, awk, xargs, fink, %s/string1/string2/g (inside Vi), strings.(obviously there are others, which are available for the right price ;-) 27.) Just because you have the tape, does not mean their data is still good. 28.) If as much energy spent figuring out who's fault it is was instead spent on documentation we wouldn't need to figure out who's fault something was as  often. 29.) Incorrect documentation is much more dangerous than no documentation. 30.) Anything that can go wrong, eventually will go wrong. It's a question of When not If. 31.) Owning a product of your top vendors competitor (even if you never plug it in) magically lowers prices of your top vendor. 32.) UNIX Rules. 33.) Caffeine helps code compile. 34.) Don't put compilers on boxes with external ports open. 35.) "Temporary" cabling techniques have a tendency to become permanent. 36.) When in a co-lo, BTUs/sq.ft matters more than any super powers you can fit in 1U. 37.) If your storage rep comes to regular meetings, you are buying too much storage. 38.) Once an exploit is published, someone has already been enjoying it for quite a while. 39.) It really is impossible to have too many monitors. 40.) No matter how sure the Users are, The Internet is never down. 41.) Just because you can, does not mean you should. (See #18)

However if you measure how hot the primary single laser gets a surface, then perform that experiment? You will find each dot is properly balanced in temperature so that they all add up to the original. Energy is conserved over PROBABILITIES And everyone is _totally_ cool with that

what cracks me up the most about the double slit experiment is that no one ever talks about the fact that the material of the walls matters. but something is in the water, and people are starting to pay attention...

Casimir had a great first day at the Capital Factory SXSW events. I was invited to attend a dinner with legendary investor Tim Draper. During Tim’s remarks he highlighted Casimir’s power technology as one of the two most exciting discovery’s of the day! Afterwards we engaged in a long conversation about physics. Inspired!

🧵 As we rightly praise the heroism of the ROTC cadet who stopped the Old Dominion terrorist gunman before he could kill more people—reportedly using only a knife—it’s worth revisiting one of my favorite acts of courage: Darryn Frost and Steve Gallant charging the 2019 London Bridge attacker with a fire extinguisher and a 5 foot narwhal tusk ripped from the wall of Fishmongers’ Hall. A f%#*ing narwhal tusk!!! In an age when it feels like too many people reach for their phones when terror strikes, it’s worth remembering some among us are willing to use anything available, including a literal narwhal tusk, to attack evil head-on, and save lives. Also, did I mention a f%#*ing narwhal tusk!!!
