People are underestimating how much latent frustration there is with airline pricing and UX.

If nothing else, this project is quantifying that frustration in dollars. $22M in soft commitments is basically people saying: ‘I'd pay to see a better version of this industry exist.’

That alone feels like useful data.

Totally agree, a patent by itself doesn't prove something was built or used, just that the idea could be described and cleared prior art.

But are you saying none of those patents are even indirectly related to publicly documented programs like:

    1. Operation Sea-Spray (1950)
    2. Operation LAC (late 1950s–60s)
    3. Operation Dew (ZnCdS tests)

We know these tests only became public decades later through hearings and declassification. Given that history, it seems fair to ask how much related research or enabling tech might still be classified. Lack of a clear public link doesn't really prove there wasn't one - it may just mean it hasn't been disclosed yet.

Below is a comprehensive list of geoengineering-related patents, compiled to the best of my knowledge. Based on the language and scope of several of these patents, their stated purposes do not appear to be inherently human-friendly in any form as the language escalates from weather influence to planetary irradiation, artificial plasmas, relativistic particles, atmospheric weapons-scale energy systems, and even the generation of destructive weather events.

https://gist.github.com/pupdogg/4e796ed1bb0d24338a3f6523e404...

Examples:

    1. System and Method for Irradiation of Planet Surface Areas
    2. Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere, and/or Magnetosphere
    3. Broadcast Dissemination of Trace Quantities of Biologically Active Chemicals
    4. Method and Apparatus for Creating an Artificial Electron Cyclotron Heating Region of Plasma
    5. Method and Apparatus for Triggering a Substantial Change in Earth Characteristics and Measuring Earth Changes
    6. Planetary Weather Modification System

I read your comment with skepticism but it looks like you are correct. Very odd that they would publish this story so prematurely.

Believe it or not, a buddy of mine was dealing with crazy high power bills for three months and couldn’t figure out why. He tried everything to cut back, but nothing worked. Finally, he called an electrician, who found a hidden short in a 30-amp circuit that was constantly drawing power without tripping the breaker. After fixing the issue, his bills went back to normal—no helicopters were involved during the process!

You can run a setup of 8x 4090 GPUs using 4x 1200W 240V power supplies (preferably HP HSTNS-PD30 Platinum Series), with a collective use of just around 20-amps, meaning it can easily run on a single 240V 20-amp breaker. This should be easily doable in a home where you typically have a 100 to 200A main power panel. Running 4x 1200W power supplies 24 hours a day will consume 115.2 kWh per day. At an electricity rate of $0.12 per kWh, this will cost approximately $13.82 per day or around $414.72 per month.

FYI, I can handle electrical system design and sheet metal enclosure design/fabrication for these rigs, but my software knowledge is limited when it comes to ML. If anyone's interested, I'd love to collaborate on a joint venture to produce these rigs commercially.

Amazing setup. I have the capability to design, fabricate, and powder coat sheet metal. I would love to collaborate on designing and fabricating a cool enclosure for this setup. Let me know if you're interested.

Yes, that is correct. The incentive is that our net terms go from 90 days to same day payment.

Yes, a few of our permanent install/broadcasting projects use TouchDesigner and Ventuz. For rental applications, Resolume, Modul8, and VDMX are preferred depending on the use case.

It's strange that a company as large as Walmart has a shopping category dedicated to "HDCP Strippers" at https://www.walmart.com/c/kp/hdcp-stripper. Upon further research, I stumbled upon numerous YouTube videos, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5-PJpSfDJ8, where the user was able to strip away HDCP 2.2 and still achieve 4K@60Hz output. The user also mentions that it would work with a 120Hz panel. This raises the question of how Walmart is able to get away with this, despite the rule of law.

That would be awesome! Thank you. For time being, I was able to purchase and reserve primitv.co and primitv.net

Thank you! I think I know what you're talking about. I live in a gated subdivision where the gate entrance control panel has a similar 15" screen but with terrible brightness and UI. Your display also sounds a lot like an HMI panel but for outdoors. Do you happen to have a product link for this display with an embedded PC? If the market is big enough, I'd be more than willing to explore some sort of joint venture with you.

Thank you! What you see in there is a WebGL creative put together using ThreeJS running at 60FPS on a RaspberryPi with a custom/frameless Chromium build. This was back in 2017, and I can only imagine what someone can accomplish nowadays!

FYI, this is our current OSD structure: https://imgur.com/xNnsjwT. If you look at the "User Color", it lets you set independent gain/offset for each color channel. You can also select one of the predefined "Color Balance" options between Warm, Normal, Cold, or sRGB. The sRGB option arranges the panel color to the sRGB gamut. Additionally, you can set the Gamma curve between 1.8 all the way up to 2.2. I hope this information helps.

Hi lagrange77, I like this name too. Thank you for the suggestion. It's a bummer that primi.tv is already taken, but I'm fairly optimistic that I can find another easy-to-remember domain. Also, I'll do some digging beforehand to make sure that I'm not overstepping any existing trademarks or copyrights. If everything works out, I'd like to give you one of these displays if and when I get the prototype unit off the ground. Would that be okay?

In that case, I would say that color calibration is very easy to accomplish and having the connectors facing down is something I was already planning to do. Our industrial displays are typically mounted 15-20ft in the air, so customers have an easier time accessing them from the side while on their lift.

As for outdoor TVs, that's a whole other Pandora's box, but yes, we also make those displays, mainly for digital billboards, advertising, and rental purposes. They typically range from 5000 nits to 12000 nits in brightness, and their pixel pitch ranges from 3mm to 9mm. They're all IP67 rated. Displays with a brightness lower than 5000 nits are typically indoor LED displays with much finer pitch, ranging from 0.9mm to 6mm. A 0.9mm pitch would be very similar to Samsung's QN90A series TVs with QLEDs (a marketing gimmick for an actual LED pixel-based display). These displays may cost a pretty penny, but we hope that once semiconductor plants are up and running in the US, costs will start to come down. Here's a project we did with a circular 3mm display back in 2017. This unit is 7ft tall with a 4.5ft diameter: http://bit.ly/43keDD5
