"AtomSea & EMBII" refers to an upload system for various media types includeing text, images, HTML pages and audio.

The official name used by its creators for the protocol is P2FK (Pay To Future Key).

The name "AtomSea & EMBII" is a reference to the online handles of its creators. That string appears to be added as padding in the protocol and is therefore visible repeatebly in the blockchain, though it is sometimes cut up a bit. The following online profiles of the creators feel authentic:Tried saying hi to them at: twitter.com/cirosantilli/status/1382080760774033415 and they replied: twitter.com/AllenVandever/status/1563964396656812034

The feature-set of their protocol is impressive:Basically they've created a fully descentralized Bitcoin-based social media. Their system is basically a sligly more clunky superset of Ordinal ruleset inscriptions, just way older and way less known for whatever reason.

Each P2FK inscription is done over P2FKH payloads. Each inscription a toplevel transaction which links to other transactions. All the linked transactions together make up the payload. The most common payload type is a text plus image, as is the case of Nelson-Mandela.jpg, which can be seen at bitfossil.com/78f0e6de0ce007f4dd4a09085e649d7e354f70bc7da06d697b167f353f115b8e/ where 78f0e6de0ce007f4dd4a09085e649d7e354f70bc7da06d697b167f353f115b8e is the toplevel transaction ID: www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/78f0e6de0ce007f4dd4a09085e649d7e354f70bc7da06d697b167f353f115b8e See Section "Nelson-Mandela.jpg" for a detailed reverse engineering of the format, and Section "AtomSea & EMBII data format" for a summary of it.

The system shows the messages and the images on a single page: bitfossil.org/4cbb32cd27b5b5edc12d3559bdffc1355ac2a210463d5cfaadc7ce9b06675b2b/index.htm It is basically a blockchain-based Twitter.

Somewhat related projects:

At twitter.com/EMBII4U/status/1762501350997233976 (2024) EMBII mentions that he was inspired by the Satoshi uploader.

Some major ones:noirlab.edu/public/images/noao-m49/?nocache=true also lists: M58, M59, M60, M61, M84, M85, M86, M87, M88, M89, M90, M91, M98, M99, and M100 so lots of large and easily observable galaxies in the area.

Open source superconducting quantum computer hardware design!

Given jointly by the department of Physics of the University of Oxford and the mathematics institute of the University of Oxford.

This is the easiest one to do iteratively:

2s/2p energy split in the hydrogen emission spectrum, not predicted by the Dirac equation, but explained by quantum electrodynamics, which is one of the first great triumphs of that theory.

Note that for atoms with multiple electrons, 2s/2p shifts are expected: Why does 2s have less energy than 1s if they have the same principal quantum number?. The surprise was observing that on hydrogen which only has one electron.

Initial experiment: Lamb-Retherford experiment.

On the return from the train from the Shelter Island Conference in New York, Hans Bethe managed to do a non-relativistic calculation of the Lamb shift. He then published as The Electromagnetic Shift of Energy Levels by Hans Bethe (1947) which is still paywalled as of 2021, fuck me: journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.72.339 by Physical Review.

The Electromagnetic Shift of Energy Levels Freeman Dyson (1948) published on Physical Review is apparently a relativistic analysis of the same: journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.73.617 also paywalled as of 2021.

TODO how do the infinities show up, and how did people solve them?

Also sometimes called helium II, in contrast to helium I, which is the non-superfluid liquid helium phase.

The project kind of died circa 2020 it seems, a shame. Likely they funding ran out. The domain is dead as of 2023, last archive from 2022: web.archive.org/web/20220331022932/http://gvgai.net/. Marks as funded by DeepMind. Researchers really should use university/GitHub domain names!

Similar goals to Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games, but they were focusing mostly on discrete games.

The most popular programming news sharing forum of the 2010's by far. If your content gets shared there, and it stays on top for a day, the traffic peak will be incredible. Reddit posts are sure to follow.

Basically a programming-only Reddit-lite.

Ciro Santilli had a few of his content shared there as mentioned at the best articles by Ciro Articles.

The Hadamard gate takes $|0⟩$ or $|1⟩$ (quantum states with probability 1.0 of measuring either 0 or 1), and produces states that have equal probability of 0 or 1.

He's good. Sometimes a bit repetitive, but generally pretty good.

Only the "original" videos matter. After those it became crap.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6DtVHqyYts Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing (PC) (2014) is perhaps his best video.

The half-life of radioactive decay, which as discovered a few years before quantum mechanics was discovered and matured, was a major mystery. Why do some nuclei fission in apparently random fashion, while others don't? How is the state of different nuclei different from one another? This is mentioned in Inward Bound by Abraham Pais (1988) Chapter 6.e Why a half-life?

The term also sees use in other areas, notably biology, where e.g. RNAs spontaneously decay as part of the cell's control system, see e.g. mentions in E. Coli Whole Cell Model by Covert Lab.

The voltage changes perpendicular to the current when magnetic field is applied.
