>Demand change from who? 

From the people who wield the powers of a state. SCOTUS seems to have given this some thought:
>Mr Alito's intervention came on the same day as a liberal member of the court, Justice Elena Kagan, warned it would be a "dangerous thing for a democracy" if the court's conservative majority lost the confidence of voters.
>"I'm not talking about any particular decision or even any particular series of decisions, but if over time the court loses all connection with the public and with public sentiment, that's a dangerous thing for a democracy," she said at a conference in Montana,
>Opinion polls suggest that confidence in the court is at an all-time low in the wake of several controversial decisions by the court. Just 25% of those polled said they had confidence in the body.

And there is still a long way to go before private companies can apply lethal force with impunity, Cyberpunk style.

The USA has already granted that though.

>The problem is - How much power do you need to actually make this work?
For  what purpose? For communications a few mW is sufficient, for radar you need more, for active denial at 95 GHz you need 100 kW
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Denial_System

>Basic radio physics shows us that the higher  you go in frequency, the more power you need for those waves to travel places. 
Sure? If you go all the way up to optical bands (THz and above) you can still get far with mW power levels). Atmospheric gases such as oxygen has absorption bands that dramatically reduces ranges, but these are limited bands.

>Second, people will start noticing weird things if this signal starts being used in any capacity.
Sure, a sudden burning sensation or spontaneous orgasms will be noticed. And what are the purposes? Game shows are easier ways to pacify people than dispensing instant sex.

>The internet has allowed information to travel stupid fast - leaks from weird shit happening can be and stay online faster than most governments can react to it.
Ham radio operators will quickly see any increase in transmissions.

>That's why they're trying to keep people as distracted as possible, and make noise in the hope that it's drowned out.

Wouldn't it be funny if people realized they could drop people with 61.22GHz at any time and the governments would never be able to acknowledge it because they're murdering hundreds of thousands of their political opposition with it?

>>414

I thought we were talking about 61.22GHz.

It's true that it requires more power to transmit further distances, but it's also true your smart phone is capable of transmitting it in contact with your body and you can take longer wavelengths of multiples of the wavelength you want to reproduce many physiological effects with different transmission distances per power output.

>Ham radio operators will quickly see any increase in transmissions.

At 61.22GHz? They'd have to be a few meters away, wouldn't they?

You know, wouldn't it be more definitive to just test this out on a hamster or something? If you don't test it, you'll never be totally sure one way or another.

>>416
>I thought we were talking about 61.22GHz.
Primarily, yes. However 60 - 100 GHz have similar properties in that they work mainly by line of sight and are quickly absorbed in the skin of human, causing localised heating. Any drug like effects are new to me.

>It's true that it requires more power to transmit further distances,
Increase power and you increase signal to noise ratio. Determining the distance is quite complicated and the Voyager probes have only tiny emitted power, yet are received on Earth. A single Watt ham radio can communicate across the world.

>but it's also true your smart phone is capable of transmitting it in contact with your body
Yes
>and you can take longer wavelengths of multiples of the wavelength you want to reproduce many physiological effects with different transmission distances per power output.
This I didn't understand.

>>Ham radio operators will quickly see any increase in transmissions.
>At 61.22GHz? They'd have to be a few meters away, wouldn't they?
Within line of sight you can easily have km range. For various reasons you can reach a bit further.

It's already been documented and studied.

These are from 2001 and 2008, and you can find more if you look. This has been known for a very long time.  See, what I just showed you is the truth, below is a link to the government disinformation that is easily debunked because it's deliberately wrong.

>then a program that ran every possible combination of instruction set codes seems like it would be an easy thing to produce to check the outputs of every instruction set
This is very close to the halting problem, so if you can guarantee to find any backdoor in finite time, you have also solved the halting problem, and fame will be yours.

I think X-ray analysis is a lot simpler.

>>381
 
How so? 

There are a limited number of instructions (including unused instructions) a chip can run dependent on the number of settings for the logic gates and a limited number of permuations of input data possible, which are both entirely calculable. The number of clockcycles required to complete all permutations of instruction sets and input multiplied by the time of the clock cycle gives you the time to complete the operation.

You might actually have to include possible memory block destinations for input and output in that permuation table too.

If you have multiple rows of instruction sets on the chip that run in parallel, you could possibly run this analysis as a background process with no loss of functionality or signficant increase in power consumption, by simply running it when all the instruction sets are not in use. 

So like say a single clockcycle is using only 25% of the chip, you run the analysis with the other parts of the chip. To to that though, you would need some sort of program to predict what parts of the chip would be used to finish off its input block. You know, actually that's a bad idea that would really drive up the clockcycles necessary to complete and power consumption. 

But when a computer is idle and cores are idle, I don't see why it couldn't run in the background and just write to a set of memory blocks in sequential order.

>>384
In addition to the memory access issue that  >>385 brings up, you can also have a knocking sequence for instructions. most processors have prefix codes, and you cannot immediately tell just how deep this goes. You might have a decoder that does something peculiar after 255 NOP instructions, or 2550 NOP instructions or even more.

Clearing flash RAM is often done by accessing certain memory locations in a particular and exact sequence. It can be the same for the instruction decoder inside the processor.

Here is the chance to make the change you want to see: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Google-SkyWater-90nm
Just get started on VHDL or Verilog and create the processor we have all waited for.

thanks for your reply, the article is pretty well written, I'll get in touch with the communities mentionned

>>336 (OP) 
You can't be sure, theism and related concepts are guesses at something which can't be known for certain by living things. Best case scenario is that 'you' as a person stop existing in any meaningful conscious sense (you can't suffer if you don't exist after all). Worst case is that you end up in some kind of hell world and suffer for eternity. Where you think the dice will land between those points is up to you (though not something that's worth gambling IMO).

>>337
I think eternal hell is ontologically impossible(cappodecian gang!). And I really think a non-theistic afterlife/no-death is totally possible.
I still have some time alive..I will see what I do.

>>336 (OP) 
>Is there any ghost of a chance that quantum immortality,or boltzmannian reincarnation,etc..omega point, or ANY theory of post-portem survival,or death-never-happens model, is true?

If you're serious about this...

Rigpa is best be defined as personal knowledge of the primordial forces that comprise the universe. It is knowledge of the "ground level", or most base form. A sort of all pervasive darkness that acts as both the canvas and the paint of the material universe. I believe that to know rigpa is to know death without dying. You can see it though meditation or psychedelics and it's distinct from thoughtlessness or letting the mind  go blank.

 Just remember that the goal of Buddhist teachings is the acceptance of suffering through knowledge and a perspective shift, not the elimination of it. The ascetic lifestyle adopted by many who have attained rigpa is not so much a conscious effort, but a natural role that one falls into once the illusions of pain and pleasure have been shattered. To have rigpa is to acknowledge that there is only a mechanical reaction to stimuli, and then go from there. 

Key search terms: Dzogchen, Schopenhauer

>>338
>I think eternal hell is ontologically impossible
If you define hell as isolation from the forces of creation, we are 

>>341
so rigpa is accepting one barely has free will and that everything is merely cause-effect,forever?

Stop being disingenuous. We're both saying collisions are bad. You're the one arguing that we shouldn't be worried about them becoming vastly more likely and most destructive.

A lot of people praise china and japan, but that's obviously just propaganda, like every country and town does.
japan isn't clean or high-tech. they have a lot of neon-lights in some of their cities, but that's about it. It's just as tacky as those middle-eastern stores that sell all kinds of garbage with neon-ilghts in the window because they think it looks cool.
most japanese and chinese don't have phones even made within the past 15 years. and neither of their "people" are intelligent either. just more lies/propaganda pushed by the insecure effeminate "people", lie how blacks pretend to be tough and tall, when in reality, most of them are shorter than the majority of asian and so are their "dicks".

>The debris field from 1000 destroyed satellites will be a huge problem for decades.
Most definitely. That's one of the issues with these quite-eccentric collision orbits; the tidbits are generally well-outside the typical LEO atmospheric 'event-horizon', and thus avoid the common scenario of autonomous de-orbit after a few years or even less.

This would be an effective end of safe orbital trajectories -- manned or unmanned -- probably in perpetuity for the lifetime of mankind to remain. It will be a field indeed, and represents an utter disaster for spaceflight if/when it occurs.

In fact, it's a likely scenario IMO, and moreso over time.

Enjoy space while you still can, Anon! :^)

I'm constantly trying to figure out how to piece together the smallish resources I have (RaspberryPis, Beaglebone Black/Blues, Arduino R3s & Nanos) into distributed computing systems suitable for building my own robowaifu. I also spend time learning to program C++ for the same reasons.

Seems like it's pretty much becoming a major focus in my life. I feel like if we all make a breakthrough with this tech, then /cyber/ will both be real, and at least slightly less dystopic. :^)

>>179 (OP) 
n-o-d-e has some pretty /cyb/ projects.
I have been getting into self-hosting my own infrastructure. I run my own DNS, and Mail server. I also host a local DNS resolver to filter traffic (like a PI hole) , but I use BIND with DNS Response Policy Zones (RPZ) to block domains.

I like coding in HTML/CSS and learning javascript.
but to be fully honest there's nothing much cyber about it sadly, it's just plain old coding.

>>318
That's very cyber. 
Anything to do with computers, electricity, robots, etc. are part of cyber.
