>Most radio SETI projects process data in near real-time using special purpose analyzers at the telescope. SETI@home takes a different approach. It records digital time-domain (also called baseband) data, and distributes it over the internet to large numbers of computers that process the data, using both CPUs and GPUs.

Definetly something going on here I'm not following.

>SETI@home is in hiberation. We are no longer distributing tasks. [0]

Is this paper really old or something? I would love to turn on my clients again :D

The distributed compute part of the project has turned off but data analysis continues.

I know what you mean these types of projects inspired me to contribute as a young citizen scientist.

A different domain, but https://foldingathome.org/ is still running. Using distributed compute to study protein folding.


If you are looking for a good list of these types of projects: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php

Wasn't this largely solved by DeepMind's AlphaFold?

https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/


I'd discourage claiming any biological process is "solved."

But to your point: No--AlphaFold is an amazing machine learning approach to predicting protein structure but Folding@Home is still immensely useful for simulating how proteins fold up over a timescale. They are/will be complimentary methods.

no, alphafold is basically just a static structure predictor. folding@home explicitly models the folding process (the journey, not just the destination).

They went into hibernation, in terms of accepting new inputs, several years ago. They had more data than they could handle and switched to just analyzing existing data and final reports.

Yeah i was an hour from boarding my overnight bus and it seems i got game over for not being at a hotel.

>There are just 2 rules 1. You can't fly 2. You must be in a hotel by 2am unless you have overnight transport

Guess the "have" doesn't work as i thought.


Its all the same to me. An airport is probably the last place i want to be at and driving in a foreign country is something i find more stressfull than utilising the public transport there.

It's the 5000 transfers that I am talking about.

Before the "Special Military Operation", there was a train from Berlin to Moscow.

London to Paris, Paris to Berlin (I think this connection exists), to Moscow, Trans-Siberia to Vladivostok, and you're a ferry ride away from Japan, and there must be a Shinkansen straight to Tokyo...


Interesting. How is it implemented? I opened Tiktok here in Denmark and went to something I, assume, would be in the US and it seems to load fine for me? Do you an example of something I shouldn't be able to view so I can try?


I imagine the same way you would link multiple data centers together. Only they don’t own the US ones OR the algorithm that’s used to suggest content.

EU is coming.

I’m just saying that here in the US we are going to see some funkiness in suggested content soon. Because we hit different servers than you. Even if they are hosted on Oracle Cloud.

It’s really no different than a large org having two clouds that need data synchronized. AWS and Azure for example. Systems Design…

I’m not a TikTok user so I couldn’t recommend content for you to try.


I don't know how foobar2000 somehow got it so right so long ago and no one is replicating it making me stuck with it. I don't like the feeling of being stuck with software like this... What if it is abandonded or something...

Exactly why i made my comment! Thank you! Will check it out! So many players out there for Linux it is hard to keep track!


Don't think he is a Sir (yet) but a Right Honorable.


A quick google would have saved you a comment. He is Sir Keir Starmer.



He was head of the crown prosecution service and knighted in 2014.


Sarcasm doesn't mean bad jokes.


And this is exactly why I had to use /s. Because some people would not understand that it was weitten tongue-in-cheek, while some others would fail to see the larger context and confuse my sarcasm with a simple joke (sure, as a joke it is bad; and that's precicely because it was optimized to be sarcastic, not joke-funny).


Sorry I'm lost (getting late over here). Wouldn't a Porsche SUV fit perfectly out in the country on bad roads? The Cayenne is made for it?


About what?


You forgot to mention that it is actually quite delicous.
