I own a stationary indoor exercise bicycle. Its quite fancy.. has a magnetically coupled flywheel to adjust the difficulty setting and has all the electronic counters etc. I try use it every day/second day and on those days I really have to motivate myself to get on it and do my 40 min cycle. The first 10 mins is really tough for me and I find I have to put in a lot of mental effort to enter a meditative frame of mind that helps me finish the workout but, by the end of those 40 mins and for the rest of the day I feel on top of the world... its the one thing that helps to motivate me to get back on it everyday.
I suspect its the same thing with most endurance type sports which include running. Most people don't actually like the idea of it but the feeling of well-being makes them keep on doing it.
I started writing C code again because i started using gstreamer and needed to write a modem plugin for ModemManager. This meant i had to get familiar with glib. Even thought the learning curve has been steep it been worth and I am really enjoying writing in C again, even going so far as to refactor some existing code of mine use glib and make it GObject based. The end goal here is to use gir to use my code from scriptable languages like python.
We have hundreds of raspberry pi s out in the field that experience sdcard failures far too often even though the filesystems are setup as readonly using a ram based overlay filesystem. I suspect something happens during reboot of these pi's and that the SoC generates spurious signals on the bus lines causing havoc with some of the sdcards. It doesn't seem to happen with high end cards or the same setup but with a compute module (which we now use exclusively) with an on board emmc chip.
This is interesting, I got gifted an one of those hydroponic systems. The thing was 2 years old. Runs on a Raspberry Zero. The issue? SD card corrupt. I got an image from someone else and fixed it with that.
What's worse is that these things are connected to the internet (with VNC installed!), and they don't do updates...
The system is awesome, but I VERY quickly moved it to a separate VLAN.
I'm cynically guessing it's down to a relatively simple workaround in the SD card firmware that fixes this very common corruption on power loss while writing. Or maybe that combined with a 0.1 cent capacitor.
I've seen the same. I don't think it's the reboot. My understanding is that NAND undergoes wear-leveling even when it is read only. The card shuffles data around its storage even when it hasn't been written to. And the firmware is unreliable.
A social network with people who's voices could serve as a check against one's internal mental state of the world around them going out of sync with the real one.
There's the old joke about how several different blind men perceive an elephant differently, but that's not too far off from how we perceive the world around us.
Marshall clearly thought things were getting significantly worse towards the end of his life. What if that perception stemmed from a poorly selected input that was never challenged by any other person's perception of reality?
For example; "There is no point to living after 65" - when there's plenty of 65+ year old people who enjoy life and contribute to the world around them. My grandparents contributed significantly to my existence when they were older than 65. If they'd both passed away at 65, my existence would be far poorer for it.
It's important to have people in our lives that help us keep our perception of reality from spinning off into dark versions that don't accurately represent actual reality.
I have had tinnitus since I was about 20 and I am now 50. Its always been there until last year when I had a slight reprieve for about 10 seconds. I was sick, the sickest I had been for years. I came down a with bad flu and was on a cocktail of drugs... antibiotics, painkillers etc. So there I was, lying in bed staring out the window when suddenly everything went peaceful and very quite. I then realised that i could no longer hear the ringing in my ears. I was sick but not delirious. Try hard as I could, i couldn't hear the ringing in my ears for about 10 seconds when suddenly as quickly as the ringing appeared, it re-appeared again.

Is there a rectifier for gravitational waves, and what would that do?

But, back to photons from electrons; like in a wheatstone bridge.
Are photonic fields best described with rays, waves, or as fluids in gravitational vortices like in SPH and SQS and CFD? (Superhydrodynamic, Superfluid Quantum Space, Computational Fluid Dynamics)
