@rwxrwxrwx are you available on Tuesday-evenings-in-the-Americas for something like an Irix (SGI, MPI I guess) ecosystem discussion?

Er, who else do I need to tag here. Is anyone actually in contact with sdf's DJ Polybius http://archives.anonradio.net/#liquiddreamz ? Who else do I even know who worked with Irixes. @praetor ?

Has anyone ever had #dsync make source files 0 length while synchronizing them? Or any idea what could cause that? Some other job removing them mid sync, and dsync touching the original?

That is interesting. Expected AI to do the job (entirely).

Good work AEI MPI.

""There's no way that you can do a full investigation of every possible signal that you detect, because doing that still requires a person and eyeballs"[...].

Eventually, at the supercomputer facilities of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Germany, algorithms designed to spot RFI sorted the wheat from the chaff, reducing those 12 billion to [...] 1,000."

This SETI program is chasing down its final 100 signals. Could one of them be from aliens?

The likelihood is that they will turn out to be radio frequency interference — but it's worth checking, scientists say.
