One of the best radio receivers I worked with in the 80s: EK070 from Rohde & Schwarz. Excelling at HF as well as on MW and VLF. Easy to program through a GPIB interface and no overload even with big external antennas. I miss these sturdy and reliable pieces of engineering!

The Quest to Decode the Mandelbrot Set, Math’s Famed Fractal

“I never had the feeling that my imagination was rich enough to invent all those extraordinary things,” Mandelbrot once said. “They were there, even though nobody had seen them before.”

The Quest to Decode the Mandelbrot Set, Math’s Famed Fractal | Quanta Magazine
For decades, a small group of mathematicians has patiently unraveled the mystery of what was once math’s most popular picture. Their story shows how technology transforms even the most abstract mathem...

'Alien: Earth' predicts a transhumanist future, but could we ever digitize human consciousness? We asked the experts (exclusive)
Alien: Earth suggests a future where consciousness isn't confined to the body you're born in, but is this a realistic possibility, or merely science fiction? We spoke to experts to find out.

Comparing 4 h of WSPR transmitting.
Here's a look at two WSPR transmitting data sets.
Chris, VE7XH, at 5 W, from here in Vancouver, and amateur radio balloon DA2GG, at 20 milliwatts. We really see here how height is a form of equalizer.

This paper I have a conflict on since Mathias now works in my lab, but it is so beautiful, claiming that shape processing in humans is not done like modern neural nets, but instead uses a symbolic representation of a program to generate the shape.

The crucial role of chaos in our brain’s most extraordinary functions
That the human mind treads a delicate line between order and disorder is a radical idea that’s gaining traction - and is changing our understanding of intelligence, consciousness and creativity
