Re: Polywell = Atom (first approximation)
The solutions to the Schodinger equation are spherical harmonics, that are not unique to quantum mechanics and have been known for a long time before that even. You can think of them just as any other complete orthogonal basis like fourier series or the cylindrical version. I'm not sure how they wou...

Re: low-complexity time algorithm for n-body simulation
Does the "cost" take into account the issue that as your field resolution gets finer, the time-step needs to get smaller too? Having smoother fields lets you step longer. I think that's why most people don't worry about doing n-body even on short length scales. Collisions are slow enough at these de...

Re: low-complexity time algorithm for n-body simulation
So, on short length scales it's n-body, and on large scale lengths it's grid based?

Re: low-complexity time algorithm for n-body simulation
Could you give a brief outline, in plain words, of what this code does?

Re: Waht Washington Has Forgotten
The law says that 501(c)(4) groups are to be used to promote social welfare, not political campaigns. Many of the groups which were targeted for in depth questioning about their expenses and intents named themselves "something something TeaParty." They were obviously political in nature. That in an...

Re: You can't make this stuff up
Not to mention that some encryption techniques are also vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, which is exactly what a satellite could serve as. The military would need another communication system under their own control anyway to be immune to that type of attack.

Re: Waht Washington Has Forgotten
Saying that the law was not applied uniformly is missing the point. The point is that the government was/is being used as a political weapon to intimidate opponents and dig up dirt on them. Why exactly do you think Nixon had to resign in disgrace? Noone seems to even care anymore. Simply saying that...

Re: Waht Washington Has Forgotten
So basically, necoras, you're saying the problem with the IRS is really that government isn't quite big and abusive enough yet. I can see how that is completely logical and well thought out. (not)

Re: Eugenics Poster Girl!
I first saw this article on a satire news site. So, I don't know that this is even for real.
The world we live in now seems more and more blurred between reality and fantasy. That is what really worries me.

Re: Streaming Instability? Sup Brah!
Asymmetry might alter the exact answer, but when we don't even know if there is an instability, or if there is what the growth rate is or how it manifests itself in scale or frequency, a very simple model seems like the best first step. Then if you chose to make it more complicated you have already ...

Re: Streaming Instability? Sup Brah!
Yes it would have to be a pic code. But using spherical symmetry makes it simpler, and needs fewer particles, than if you attempted to use all 3 dimensions.
