Ciro Santilli @cirosantilli 37

Mostly on vintage electronics. Lots of focus on microwave, which he has worked a lot with.

Has been going wild with restoration and reverse engineering of the Apollo moon mission.

Anywhere north, including NE and NW: fenlands, i.e. marshes. Quite a few quarries as well. Extremely flat, very uniform, towns often have to be on top of small hills to escape the incessant flooding. Norfolk Coast AONB is beautiful if you take a train ride first, the beaches are very wide and many of them have few people if you avoid a few very busy spots.

East and SE: rolling hills towards Suffolk and the coast. Beautiful county, both Dedham Vale AONB and Suffolk Coast AONB.

South: first one of the hilliest nearby areas around Elmdon and Arkesden, then gently going down to the lush Lee River valley.

Southwest: larger and larger cities as you move towards London. From a train starting point, you can reach the Northen Chilterns, for some serious hills.

West: mostly flat farmland until you hit the River Great Ousse.

The laplace operator for Minkowski space.

Can be nicely written with Einstein notation as shown at: Section "d'Alembert operator in Einstein notation".

Given the function $\psi$:the operator can be written in Planck units as:often written without function arguments as:Note how this looks just like the Laplacian in Einstein notation, since the d'Alembert operator is just a generalization of the laplace operator to Minkowski space.

The rare ones. Notably present in peptidoglycan.

When you fail a HR interview, then you know you've reached rock bottom.

Investments:

Creator of Mozilla rr, of which Ciro Santilli is a huge fan of!

He quit Mozilla in 2016 to try and commercialize an rr extension called Pernosco.

But as of 2022, he advertised himself as part of "Google Research", so maybe that went under, sample source: archive.ph/o9622. TODO when did he start? There's apparently an unrelated homonym: www.linkedin.com/in/rob-ocallahan/

He's apparently very religious, and very New Zelandish, twitter.com/rocallahan auto-describes:Terry A. Davis and D. Richard Hipp come to mind. One is tempted to speculate a correlation even, the proportion amongst systems programmers feels so much higher than in other areas of programming! Maybe it is because you have to be a God to do it in the first place.

Lecture notes: Quantum Field Theory lecture notes by David Tong (2007).

By David Tong.

14 1 hours 20 minute lectures.

The video resolution is extremely low, with images glued as he moves away from what he wrote :-) The beauty of the early Internet.

Two parallel Josephson junctions.

In Ciro's ASCII art circuit diagram notation:

Relates particle momentum and its wavelength, or equivalently, energy and frequency.

The wavelength relation is:but since:the wavelength relation implies:

Particle wavelength can be for example measured very directly on a double-slit experiment.

So if we take for example electrons of different speeds, we should be able to see the diffraction pattern change accordingly.

Notably, convolution can be implemented in terms of GEMM:

In 1962 Brian Josephson published his inaugural paper predicting the effect as Section "Possible new effects in superconductive tunnelling".

In 1963 Philip W. Anderson and John M. Rowell published their paper that first observed the effect as Section "Possible new effects in superconductive tunnelling".

Some golden notes can be found at True Genius: The Life and Science of John Bardeen page 224 and around. Philip W. Anderson commented:

As part of the course Anderson had introduced the concept of broken symmetry in superconductors. Josephson "was fascinated by the idea of broken symmetry, and wondered whether there could be any way of observing it experimentally."
