Light field - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_field#:~:text=The%20light%20field%20is%… . The *light field* is a vector function <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector-valued_function> that describes the amount of light <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light> flowing in every direction through every point in space. The space of all possible *light rays <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_rays>* is given by the five-dimensional <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-dimensional_space> *plenoptic function*, and the magnitude of each ray is given by its radiance <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiance>. Michael Faraday <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Faraday> was the first to propose that light should be interpreted as a field, much like the magnetic fields on which he had been working.[1] <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_field#cite_note-1> The phrase *light field* was coined by Andrey Gershun <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Aleksandrovich_Gershun> in a classic 1936 paper on the radiometric properties of light in three-dimensional space.

Shulte trial snapshot

Judge Furman seems very skeptical of the obstruction charge against Schulte, quite persuaded by the government’s CFAA charges, but very impressed by Schulte’s closing argument. https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/07/08/the-josh-schulte-trial-moves-to-delib…

I understand that this is helping me get off gmail. This is hard and we can do it. It looks to me like the thing for me to do is to write a script that compresses these removals a little, and forwards them back to the list when they are received. That's hard for me to do, and basically I need to be able to do it.

Drug smuggling: Underwater drones seized by Spanish police

Drug smuggling: Underwater drones seized by Spanish police - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-62040790 Jim Bell's comment:I actually thought of this 30+ years ago, unmanned, underwater smuggling drones, but I made no attempt to implement this. At that time, GPS was very new, solar cells were weak and relatively ineffective. I also figured that it could be an interesting hobby, minus the drugs of course. Whether this could get through the plastic trash, and 'ghost nets' I don't know.

workerpoet Jul 7 #17959 Greatly enjoyed reading this. In practice, the Spanish Mondragon cooperatives seem to me a more direct and practical route to the Marxist ideal than attempts at derivative Leninism. For us, building cooperatives and networks of cooperatives builds capitalisms replacement. For Cuba and other socialst states struggling under a constant assault by militarized capital, progress is especially challenged and undermined and must be defended against to preserve even a foundation on which to build the commune.
