The KATRIN project is launching its phase 2: a new and more sophisticated detector, TRISTAN, will enable the team to continue neutrino mass measurements and search for a hypothetical fourth type of neutrino. The RadLab group from @polimi made a significant contribution to its creation. polimi.it/en/the-politecnico… #PolimiResearch

Automatic guns that target and fire date from WWII. The SCR-584 anti-aircraft gun laying radar was a highly accurate system developed early in the war. The RadLab [Radiation Laboratory] had a prototype radar system running in April [1941]. Science fiction fans recall the automatic gun from the chilling short story "The Gun" (1952) by Philip K. Dick: The gun was huge. Stark and immense it pointed up at the sky, a mass of steel and glass, set in a huge slab of concrete. Even as they watched the gun moved on its swivel base, whirring underneath. A slim vane turned with the wind, a network of rods atop a high pole. "It’s alive,” Nasha whispered. "It’s listening to us, watching us.” technovelgy.com/ct/content.a…

THIS GUY BUILT AN AUTOMATED PIGEON DEFENSE SYSTEM FOR HIS BALCONY pigeons kept nesting on his balcony so he engineered a full detection and deterrent system here's how it works: 1\ camera captures video in real time 2\ an AI model identifies the pigeon in real time 3\ a water gun mounted on servo motors turns toward it 4\ sprays the pigeon automatically the hardware: > an orange pi 5 running the detection model > a disassembled electric battery-driven water gun > USB camera > 2 servo motors for aiming > resistors and a transistor to trigger the water gun the detection runs on an AI vision model (yolo world v2) using the rockchip 3588's built in neural processing unit. the best part is that it's not limited to pigeons. because it uses open vocabulary detection, you can reprogram the target to any object. squirrels, cats, raccoons, whatever is messing with your balcony fully automated, runs 24/7, no manual intervention needed

Automatic guns that target and fire date from WWII. The SCR-584 anti-aircraft gun laying radar was a highly accurate system developed early in the war. "The RadLab [Radiation Laboratory] had a prototype radar system running in April [1941]. To test the automatic aiming system, they attached the outputs from the radar to a gun turret taken from a B-29 bomber, removing the guns and replacing them with a camera. A friend then flew his light plane around the area, and on May 31 the system was able to accurately track the aircraft. Work then started on making the system suitable for field use, mounting the entire system in a single trailer with the 6-foot antenna on top. Known as XT-1, for eXperimental Truck-1, the system was first tested at Fort Monroe in February 1942."

De comments geven wel een inkijkje in de mindset van de 'ik geloof niks meer sinds Covid', 'Ik haat moslims maar ik haat Joden nog meer' en 'Mijn algoritme stuurt me van p*rno naar complotsites' zolderkamers die zowel Superjan als Radlab volgen. De uiteinden van het hoefijzer.

During WW2, the United States worked with Britain to develop technology to send wireless signals across airwaves via Radar Microwaves. Vannevar Bush (MIT, Raytheon, GE, ARDC, NDRC, NSF, NACA, US OSRD, Carnegie) of the National Defense Research Committee collaborated with Henry Tizard (Westminster, Churchill via Lindemann, Royal Institution, Oxford, UK DSIR, Imperial College, ARC - CSSAD, DRPC, ACSP, Fellow of Royal Society) of The Tizard Mission to make this happen. At a meeting on September 19, 1940, the Americans described Loomis (MIT) and Compton's (MIT) microwave research. They had an experimental 10 cm wavelength short wave radar, but admitted that it did not have enough power and that they were at a dead end. Taffy Bowen and John Cockcroft of the Tizard Mission then produced a cavity magnetron, a device more advanced than anything the Americans had seen, with a power output of around 10 kW at 10 cm, enough to spot the periscope of a surfaced submarine at night from an aircraft. To exploit the invention, Bush decided to create a special laboratory. The NDRC allocated the new laboratory a budget of $455,000 for its first year. Loomis suggested that the lab should be run by the Carnegie Institution, but Bush convinced him that it would best be run by MIT. The Radiation Laboratory (MIT's RadLab), as it came to be known, tested its airborne radar from an Army B-18 on March 27, 1941. By mid-1941, it had developed SCR-584 radar, a mobile radar fire control system for antiaircraft guns. What they won't tell you, is that this microwave radiation technology would go on to cause the poisoning of countless people, creating things like Havannah Syndrome, and recreating most of the symptoms of what they purport to be SARS, and is used worldwide today. They used their position in the FDR Administration to selectively elevate this technology through the first known Venture Capital Firm, created by Vannevar Bush, Karl Taylor Kompton, Ralph Flanders, Georges Doriot, and Merill Griswold to seed fund the HVEC company that was started by Donald Trumps Uncle, John G. Trump, who was mentored by both Bush and Kompton during his tenure at MIT and beyond. We see this same methodology applied today via VC firms like BlackRock, Kleiner-Perkins, and Sequoia, to create the illusion of a free market. When in reality, the technology and businesses that are elevated to mainstream relevance enough to have market share, was almost always seed funded by these same interests. Their ability to press infinite thumbs on the scale due to their insurmountable capital, fostered by the adoption and regulation of these companies and technologies exclusively in the interest of the control paradigm. This system became almost autonomous once SUN Microsystems (now Oracle), partnered with (mostly) DARPA, the CIA, and Mossad to create Blackrock's Aladdin via Charles Hallac (First Boston, Barclays, Israel) and Bennett Golub (Trepp, Financial Engineering Group, Board of International Association of Financial Engineers, Board of the Global Association Risk Professionals, United Jewish Appeal⁣ – ⁣Federation of Jewish Philanthropies). Early participants include: -Bill Joy (DARPA, Bell Labs, UC Berkley, National Academy of Engineering, Bolt, Beranek and Newman [BBN]) -Andy Bechtolsheim (DARPA, Google, Fulbright, Granite Systems) -Vinod Khosla (Kleiner-Perkins, Khosla Ventures, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford, Daisy Systems, Juniper Networks, OpenAI) -Eric Schmidt (Google, Apple, Novell, Mayo Clinic, Innovation Endeavors, Schmidt Futures, Relativity Space, Special Competitive Studies Project, PCAST, US NSC on AI, Carnegie Mellon University, Citizen of Cyprus) -Scott McNealy (American Motors, Onyx Systems, Cranbrook, Mitt Romney, CEO of SUN for over 20 years until facilitating the sale to Larry Ellisons Oracle [CIA]) Fortune 500 Companies are not actually "real". They don't start in garages, they start with institutional investments and government contracts. They have been for about 80-90 years at this point, and prior to the venture capital model existing, you had "Family Dynasty Funds" like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford doing the same thing for over 100. Before that it was banks, churches, and kings. The names may change, but the game remains the same.
