You can encrypt passcodes and remote control commands for sattelites and other radio control codes for various craft or devices. You can also still use message authentication codes for integrity of plaintext messages.

Telemetry is fair game for encryption IIRC as well.

This link (second one down, first event is missing control rods in Texas...) has almost the exact same wording as the article.

I found the root cause of the older issue on LinkedIn of all places.

Root cause of 2024 was apparently a procedural issue combined with electrical failure of the control rod grippers.

I don't have a charger that can supply the necessary 350 Amps though.

They also have ridiculous amount of charge cycles. 10x higher than regular Lithium Ion IIRC.

They are more expensive and are larger and heavier for the same stored energy though.

And, while they CAN still catch fire, they are apparently way harder to do so.

Like being tired, stressed, etc...

Turns out it overheated 15 minutes into the drive, and corrupted all the footage from my whole ski trip.

I'm also still salty that they cancelled my favorite fast video editing software (can't remember the name).

This was 8 years ago.

They are both causes to speed.

In fact you don't even need flow to infer speed. You can just use pressure calculations and temperature, which is how airplanes measure their speed.

Controlling drag is a major component of the inputs to speed when flying an aircraft.

    nextCarSpeed(currentSpeed, wheelPower, dragForce, mass, deltaTime) =
    currentSpeed + ((wheelPower / currentSpeed - dragForce) / mass) * deltaTime

Yes, separating symbols/descriptions from the physics is a common conflation, rightfully avoided and called out here, but I think you might be overcorrecting unconflating the concepts too much.

Quantum information is strange precisely because the theory treats information-like relationships as physically consequential.

Entanglement, path dependent stuff, cloning theorum, black hole information paradox... There are so many areas you run into where its information-centric descriptions appear to fit unreasonably well.

Again, I'm not saying the symbolic representation is "real" per se (not saying it's not either, I simply don't know what it is).

I agree bits are just nomenclature, but I don't agree that "bits" and "information" are the same thing. Like distance, "information" has a deeper and general architecture to it.

And it's also weirdly physical in places that I wouldn't expect it to be, for reasons I simply don't understand at the moment.

The more I learn about the fundamental nature of the electron, probability in quantum mechanics, and the wave function in general... the more information being fundamental substrate makes sense.

I'm not saying it is... just that it makes more sense the deeper you get.

I looked it up, and apparently utility companies already use the lines for comms, so you would be stomping on those potentially (depending on frequency).

As for radiating... Possibly... But the tuning seems ridiculously hard/out of your control.

The conductors are huge, and I can't imagine getting a stable RF standing wave across grid scale infra like that.

I'm sure it's possible... Those lines are actually too long and changing electrical length for most useful RF.

I'm going to have to dig a bit deeper though.

Coupling into my power upstairs is a bit of a problem sometimes though.

Pirating power is something I've heard that happens, but I looked it up, and couldn't find an actual cited example of someone doing it via induction.

Plenty of people doing it via extension cords and device tampering though.

If we live in a false vacuum, for example, that could allow them to decay.

My 7 Mhz antenna (HF, 40m band) is 67 feet long, and goes across by whole house.

The smallest antenna you could get away with for LF would be hundreds to thousands of feet long.

You might be able to go smaller if you enjoy suffering. Though, there are some pretty creative antenna designs that defy logic.

You can do it easily if you use in fast mode.

I bet you could hit the limits of the $200/month using fast mode if you were using multiple sessions at the same time all day on fast mode.

The OpenAI tiers seem pretty well tuned.

I used to use the plus ($20/month), and that was good for a few sessions every once in a while.

But now that I'm using it to configure my network, monitoring, maintenance, I'm using it every day and I'm on the $100 plan. And I do pretty consistently hit the limits, but it's easy to pace myself.

I'mam thinking about upgrading to $200/month though. It would be nice not to have to ration it.

Is it meant to be facetious?

For the uninformed. "Fair and Balanced" was their literal slogan for 20 years.
