L'ère des ondes gravitationnelles

14 septembre 2015 : des ondes gravitationnelles sont détectées pour la première fois. Prédites par Einstein et générées par la fusion d’étoiles à neutrons ou de trous noirs, ces ondes voyagent en déformant l'espace-temps. Et, surtout, révolutionnent les sciences du ciel, participant à la naissance de l’astronomie multi-messager.

There's a super handy tool built by some local hamms that lets you see both meshtastic and meshcore traffic, chats and statistics from our regional mesh.

You can actually use this website to listen to any number of meshcore chat channels even if you don't have a radio.

MeshExplorer

A real-time map, chat client, and packet analysis tool for mesh networks using MeshCore and Meshtastic.

I've been a big supporter of #Meshtastic, but the promises and realities seem very far apart. As the Seattle mesh has grown, the number of poorly placed nodes (and poorly placed routers) that absolutely destroy the effectiveness of 'managed flood' have made #MeshCore a far more effective tool for reliable communication.

Example: Using MeshCore, I can reliably chat with folks from Olympia to Vancouver B.C. and last night some unique conditions carried messages to Portland, OR.

Red lines refer to fresnel zone
#meshtastic when downtown in large cities you don't really care about the decrease of max coverage when you go to a faster preset (up to mediumfast) this is due to a drty radio band and buildings so the faster the less probability to be disturbed. As an example a 6 sec message il long moderate will become a sub second message....

How did Intel's 386 processor connect to the outside world? Tiny wires connect to the bond pads around the edges. Special input/output circuits—visible in zoomed-in blocks—send and receive signals while protecting the chip from dangers that could destroy it. Let's take a look... 1/N
In 1983, Philips produced the first FM radio receiver on a chip, leading to products such as the FM radio wristwatch. Let's look at the tiny silicon die inside this chip and see how it works. 1/N
