okay i see now

but what if you put another split ring inside it, it'll be different

this is just small-ish magloop

i've seen some people make magloops out of bike rims, it's similar sized. the smaller it is the lower radiation resistance, higher currents and voltage on capacitor, narrower bandwidth, and lower efficiency. i don't remember how it scales but efficiency goes up fast with size, 1m dia magloop is already better. downside is that tuning becomes impossible on higher bands (capacitance required for this is below minimum capacitance of capacitor that you have)

also cryonics and "enhanced games" as non-FDA testing ground. i've never seen anyone in more potent denial of their own mortality than Peter Thiel. behind the bastards four-parter on him dissects this

will it antenna? i think it will

split ring resonator has already two different lengths of paths so - even without accounting on how these two interact - you could expect two different frequencies where it's resonant, with peaks perhaps overlapping to a useful degree making a decently wide band possible. it looks a bit like halo antenna with parasitic, downside being that it's probably a bit hard to feed it, circumference has to be halfwave on lowest frequency and if made for HF it'd be gigantic

i think it's more useful to think of magloop as extremely shortened, low impedance, low bandwith halo antenna

ymmw but for me ludic comes off a bit as a sort of a benevolent grifter. difference being that unlike lw poster, ludic probably knows what he's talking about, also i'm not in that field. some of unseriousness and money sloshing around comes from the fact that both dev space and biotechs are quite startuppy, unlike many other fields

i'll have you know that social contract that formed in russia after 90s looks just like that: citizens fuck off from politics in return for some prosperity. every time when russian state expected that that won't last due to things like 2008 crisis or covid or what have you, they started a war as a distraction and to rally around the flag some nationalists. now they're on 4th attempt, this one was due to post-covid recession. difference is, this time they were high on their own supply of propaganda and planned accordingly. they also can't back down because they see it as a weakness, and that would mean a coup

I know that Abe was PM since always, but he's dead for almost three years now

Another good example would be actions Brits took in order to protect the fact that Enigma was broken. For example, when Enigma deciphering indicated that there's warship in a specific area, they would send spotter plane first before attacking it, in order to provide enemy alternative explanation as of how they were discovered. Some operations were aborted entirely for this reason

remember, the entire time until bombs dropped Goldblum wasn't sure that if it was an elaborate bit

at least it's not telegram

 

so i stumbled upon a thing on reddit

the thing is that there's an obscure early scifi book by none other than wernher von braun, that is about mars colonization, where they find already existing civilization, leader of which is called elon. apparently this is why megaracist elon's father named him that:

Interest in this novel increased in 2021 when people connected the Martian leader, called the Elon, to SpaceX founder Elon Musk, suggesting that von Braun may have somehow foreseen Musk's space exploration ventures.[15] However, Errol Musk, Elon's father, asserted in 2022 that he was fully aware of the von Braun connection in naming his son.[16]

also in that book: tunnels used for high-speed travel; nation-states became obsolete because of some magic tech; highly technocratic planetary government as a result. that stimulant habit seems historically accurate then, even if it's cut with ketamine sometimes. some more red string on corkboard https://www.mind-war.com/p/the-elon-how-a-nazi-rocket-scientist this tracks as one of his grandparents moved from canada to south africa because canada in 40s wasn't racist enough for them, and with all the technocracy inc things.

so yeah, motherfucker might be believing - or even groomed into - that he's destined to be a planetary overlord, all based on nazi scifi, and he's playing it out irl with all the fuck you money he has

Flight path of a plane that took off from Damascus shorty after news broke that Assad left the city towards unknown destination, which might have been Latakia on Syrian coast which is still under SAA control as of now. Terrain in place where flightradar stopped tracking that plane isn't especially suited for emergency landing

Shortly after crash Syrian Army Command informs officers about fall of the regime https://xcancel.com/Alhadath_Brk/status/1865587913817305454#m

update: it's not spoofed transponder data or controlled landing, locals reported plane crash in the area. rumors so far, but dawn will break soon in Syria and we'll know https://xcancel.com/Schizointel/status/1865593800678130081#m

clarification: there's some chance that Assad went out of Damascus before on other, private jet, so it's not sure and it's all conjecture on unproven information

update 2: there's a claim by Russian media that Assad is in Moscow, so he would have to flee on some earlier plane, but no photos as of now. Still, looked mildly credible at the time
