They do have some really good ones.
It is interesting that in different episodes they often switch the dominant/passive roles, so it's not fixed as in Laurel and Hardy.

We've noticed that often when there is a hit range:and that this does not seem to be that common. Let's see if that is a reasonable fingerprint or not.
- there is only one IP for each domain
- there is a range of about 20-30 of those
Note that although this is the most common case, we have found multiple hits that viewdns.info maps to the same IP.
First we create a table The
u (unique) that only have domains which are the only domain for an IP, let's see by how much that lowers the 191 M total unique domains:time sqlite3 u.sqlite 'create table t (d text, i text)'
time sqlite3 av.sqlite -cmd "attach 'u.sqlite' as u" "insert into u.t select min(d) as d, min(i) as i from t where d not like '%.%.%' group by i having count(distinct d) = 1"not like '%.%.%' removes subdomains from the counts so that CGI comms are still included, and distinct in count(distinct is because we have multiple entries at different timestamps for some of the hits.Let's start with the 208 subset to see how it goes:OK, after we fixed bugs with the above we are down to 4 million lines with unique domain/IP pairs and which contains all of the original hits! Almost certainly more are to be found!
time sqlite3 av.sqlite -cmd "attach 'u.sqlite' as u" "insert into u.t select min(d) as d, min(i) as i from t where i glob '208.*' and d not like '%.%.%' and (d like '%.com' or d like '%.net') group by i having count(distinct d) = 1"This data is so valuable that we've decided to upload it to: archive.org/details/2013-dns-census-a-novirt.csv Format:The numbers of the first column are the IPs as a 32-bit integer representation, which is more useful to search for ranges in.

X-ray crystallography Updated 2025-07-16
One of its main applications is to determine the 3D structure of proteins.
Sometimes you are not able to crystallize the proteins however, and the method cannot be used.
Crystallizing is not simple because:
Cryogenic electron microscopy can sometimes determine the structures of proteins that failed crystallization.

All action scenes are useless crap, but the premise with Ciro's precious simulation hypothesis subject, related physics and the illusion of life.
It is a shame that the key premise of using human bodies to produce energy is completely and impossibly stupid. You would obviously get more energy by directing burning the food you feed into humans.
If the film had been made later, maybe the much more plausible concept of AI alignment would would have been used instead. What a shame.
