Once the Internet can measure itself
In communications, the obstacle to high bandwidth and reliable transmission is usually the interconnections, not the links. Nowhere is this more evident than on the Internet, where broadband connections to homes, offices and now mobile smart phones are a frequent source of frustration, and the interconnections between the roughly 50,000 subnetworks (autonomous systems or ASes) from which it is ...
متن کاملCan the Universe Create Itself?
The question of first-cause has troubled philosophers and cosmologists alike. Now that it is apparent that our universe began in a Big Bang explosion, the question of what happened before the Big Bang arises. Inflation seems like a very promising answer, but as Borde and Vilenkin have shown, the inflationary state preceding the Big Bang could not have been infinite in duration — it must have ha...
متن کاملCan We Trust the Internet to Measure Psychotic Symptoms?
Online studies are increasingly utilized in applied research. However, lack of external diagnostic verification in many of these investigations is seen as a threat to the reliability of the data. The present study examined the robustness of internet studies on psychosis against simulation. We compared the psychometric properties of the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences scale (CAPE), a...
متن کاملCan the Electroweak Interaction Break Itself?
I examine the possibility that the electroweak interaction breaks itself via the condensation of fermions in large representations of the weak SU(2)L gauge group.
متن کاملCan a Program Reverse-Engineer Itself?
Shape-memory alloys are metal pieces that "remember" their original cold-forged shapes and return to the pre-deformed shape after heating. In this work we construct a software analogous of shape-memory alloys: programs whose code resists obfuscation. We show how to pour arbitrary functions into protective envelops that allow recovering the functions' exact initial code after obfuscation. We exp...
