Would suggest to take a look at Jackson’s book on classical electrodynamics to get some intuition.

That's very evil to recommend a graduate electrodynamics book to learn more about passive radar. I would suggest taking a look at Platos Republic to get some intuition on why that is. </s>

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, first you must invent the universe…

A famous quote from Carl Sagan in the marvelous Cosmos documentary where he explains atoms by slicing an apple pie until you can not slice no more because you are down to a single elementairy particle the atom.

Carl also references Plato's Republic when visiting the actual cave where Plato lived.

Carl also references books classical mechanics but not the book the parent comment mentions but earlier ones like Al-Baghdadi, Cristian Huygens, Galileo, Newton.

If one visualizes the electromagnetic field in the environment, including all objects in it and any changes, one would naturally come across many applications in sensing the associated changes in the field. One classic example is the eavesdropping case at Moscow US embassy in the former Soviet Union.

These very expensive toys are the reasons of the to be $1.5 trillion DoW budget. It’s insane and not sustainable.

$1.5 trillion is the budget the Pentagon is requesting for next year. It's highly unlikely Congress will give them that much money.

This is a good one

CERN has been doing HEP experiments for decades. What did it use before the current incarnation of AI? The AI label seems to be more marketing and superficial than substantial. It’s a bit sad that a place like CERN feels the need to make it public that it is on the bandwagon.

It was ten years ago I worked on an oscilloscope for CERN with FPGA trigger. You were able to update the trigger portion of the bitstream at any time, without a reset. Typically that was a FIR filter but it could be anything.

Like anything else, once you work with a system, it gives you ten ideas where to go next...

It doesn't say LLM anywhere.

Good catch. Corrected. Thanks!

https://madoc.bib.uni-mannheim.de/809/ is one of a gazillion papers you can find with ancient technology called web search.

Big money in US politics is the root of lots bad things happening in the country … some serious change is needed to truly achieve MAGA …

It seems to me that LLM is a tool after all. One needs to learn to use it effectively.

They sold their way of working to many idiotic companies which are in the process of destroying themselves …

Once defined as tools, the outcome depends on skill of using the tools ...

I would second that Qwen3.5 is exceptionally good. In a calibration, it (35b variant) was running locally with Ada NextGen 24GB to do the same things with easy-llm-cli in comparison with gemini-cli + Gemini 3 Pro, they were at par … really impressive it ran pretty fast …

q4 quant gives you 175 tg and 7K pp, beats most cloud providers
