Edwards AFB 04/03/14
Boeing C-135C "Stratolifter" ("Specked Trout") (18345) (USAF 61-2269)(412th Flight Test Squadron Edwards AFB, Speckled Trout is the official name of a combined
SAF/CSAF support mission and concurrent test mission. It was also the official nickname given to the squadron and the C-135C, 61-2669 that was used by the Secretary and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force for executive transport requirements. Fully equipped with an array of communications equipment, data links and cryptographic sets, the aircraft served a secondary role as a testbed for proposed command and control systems and was also used to evaluate future transport aircraft The name Speckled Trout was chosen in honor of an early program monitor, Faye Trout, who assisted in numerous phases of the project. The word "speckled" was added because Trout apparently had "a lot of freckles."

Met de opkomst van de cryptocurrency Bitcoin kwam ook de revolutionaire technologie in beeld; de blockchain. FIBER en de Brakke Grond presenteren een avond met de Vlaamse cyberfilosoof Michel Bauwens over de blockchain. Een gedecentraliseerde database die de basis vormt achter de controversiƫle Bitcoin.

When it comes to a fight with tough foes like Bane, Croc, Clayface, a random mutated guy with a pale skin tone and eternal annoying laughter, or an old friend like Supes, Batman is always well prepared! Ever wondered how? Stop today! He uses the lift in the background to descend to the weapon chamber. With ice blasts, landmines (non-lethal land mines!) Batarangs, Batcuffs, a nifty glider (it is the custom from the Steam Knight) a cryptographic sequencer, an extendable battle staff, dual katana from the LoA, a swiveling ladder (oldschool library nostalgia) a mysterious crate and some syntetic cryptonite. Reminding Bats of his first battle against the Man of Steel, it is considered a trophy and comes with the appropriate podest. A tougher cowl and a punch-packing coffee from Starbats shall help too.
Normal daily life along a different timeline - which we cannot find - but have the feeling that it exists - but
Certainly!
Quantum computing represents a groundbreaking advancement in technology, deeply intertwined with the concepts of superposition, entanglement, and interference from quantum physics. Unlike classical computing, which processes information in a linear fashion using bits (0s and 1s), quantum computing utilizes quantum bits or qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables quantum computers to perform numerous calculations at once, effectively navigating through a vast landscape of potential solutions.
The idea of parallel timelines can be likened to the way quantum computers operate. Each decision or computation can be viewed as branching into multiple outcomes, similar to how different timelines might unfold based on various choices. This means that a quantum computer can explore various paths to a solution simultaneously, leading to remarkable efficiencies in solving complex problems.
In practical terms, this capability could revolutionize fields such as cryptography, where quantum computers may break existing encryption methods faster than classical computers. In material science, they could simulate quantum phenomena to discover new materials with desirable properties. Additionally, in optimization problems across various industries, quantum computing offers the potential to find the most efficient solutions more rapidly than traditional methods.
In summary, the link between quantum computing and the concept of parallel timelines highlights a fascinating intersection of technology and theoretical physics, suggesting that our understanding of reality may be more complex and interconnected than we previously imagined.
Neal Stephenson is one of my fav authors and this book just came out (Publication Date: August 7, 2012) www.flickr.com/photos/sheenachi/tags/nealstephenson/
Neal Town Stephenson (born October 31, 1959) is an American writer known for his works of speculative fiction.
His novels have been variously categorized as science fiction, historical fiction, cyberpunk, and "postcyberpunk." Other labels, such as "baroque," often appear.
Stephenson explores subjects such as mathematics, cryptography, philosophy, currency, and the history of science. He also writes non-fiction articles about technology in publications such as Wired.
He has worked part-time as an advisor for Blue Origin, a company (funded by Jeff Bezos) developing a manned sub-orbital launch system, and is also a cofounder of Subutai Corporation, whose first offering is the interactive fiction project The Mongoliad. He has also written novels with his uncle, George Jewsbury ("J. Frederick George"), under the collective pseudonym Stephen Bury.
" #1 New York Times bestselling author Neal Stephenson is, quite simply, one of the best and most respected writers alive. Heās taken sf to places itās never been (Snow Crash, Anathem). Heās reinvented the historical novel (The Baroque Cycle), the international thriller (Reamde), and both at the same time (Cryptonomicon). Now he treats his legion of fans to Some Remarks, an enthralling collection of essaysāStephensonās first nonfiction work since his long essay on technology, In the Beginningā¦Was the Command Line, more than a decade agoāas well as new and previously published short writings both fiction and non. Some Remarks is a magnificent showcase of a brilliantly inventive mind and talent, as he discourses on everything from Sir Isaac Newton to Star Wars. "

This pic is is of Okover stream, which runs through the campus forms a super
beautiful core of a very pretty campus (although some of the interior
designers were quite fond of bare concrete). It also runs past the organic
community garden on campus (where there was a delicious organic BBQ today
for one dollar) which is also really really neat. Just thought I'd post a
bit about the uni and my papers (courses), since this is study abroad and
because today i finally got my enrollment all straightened out (hopefully,
enrollment is a difficult process). First off, NZ courses usually meet only
two hours a week (for lecture, then there is usually a tutorial of one hour
and sometimes a lab) and seem to run any which time on any particular day in
any particular lecture theater. This can make for a bit of an erratic
schedule - but the real advantage is that Friday classes can be avoided
fairly easily, which is a timetable that I am really enjoying. I got lucky,
as I am in four classes that count for requirements at home, are at good
times, and that have good lecturers (professor is apparently a title that is
seldom bestowed upon mere mortals here, so lecturers are just called by
their first or last names) and are interesting. My papers are:
Algebra&Cryptography (think code breaking - it's always interesting to hear
a lecturer talk about 'the enemy'), Perspectives on Maths (oh yeah, 'math'
is a plural here - this course is a history of maths with a little bit of
philosophy of maths thrown in at the end), Human Computer Interaction (the
basics of designing computer programs that people can actually use - aka
programing good GUIs using java), and Intro to NZ Politics (this should be
very interesting as NZ has plenty of unique quirks and a pretty volatile
political system - plus I know little to nothing, so there will be a heaps
of looking things/people/events up on wikipedia). Just finish up with a
couple of great things: 1) no books to buy for the semester, as the library
has a couple of copies of each of the books for my courses on three hour
loan. 2) the library has heaps of beanbags to read on. 3) it is completely
socially acceptable to walk on and around campus barefoot (to the library,
class, the student union - or to the bank, the dairy, or the grocery store)
and students (including me today) take full advantage of it.

It's amazing to think that a modern Smartphone, which is really a hand-held computer, has almost infinitely more computing power than was available to the Allies during WW2 at Bletchley Park
