The Dome of Light is a still-unsolved Cold War mystery which may have been a developmental Soviet superweapon.
The phenomenon has been known to the US government since at least 1986, based on declassified reports. In November 1988, a USAF RC-135S Cobra Ball aircraft was flying mchatka Peninsula to observe a scheduled Soviet SS-20 ballistic missile launch from the Kura Test Range.
Pilot Robert Hopkins III witnessed an almost incomprehensible event. He looked west and saw a “translucent, milky white wall moving from the left, over the USSR, to the right, toward the Northern Pacific Ocean.” The wall extended from ground level up as high as they could see, and moved at a speed later estimated to be 6,200 mph. The wall of light passed over his aircraft and disappeared, leaving the pilot and Air Force analysts completely baffled.
Other Dome of Light events were recorded as well, sometimes coinciding with the launch of Soviet SS-20 missiles. A now-declassified 1986 report indicated the domes could reach an unbelievable 1,900 kilometers in diameter, and a height of 1,000 kilometers, reaching well into Earth’s exosphere. One of the most plausible theories is that the Domes were a countermeasure intended to blind American satellites in the critical first moments of a devastating preemptive nuclear strike by the Soviets.
It may also have been the result of creating chemiluminescent ethylene clouds for studying the atmosphere. There has even been speculation that the Soviets developed a device based on Nikola Tesla’s theory of scalar energy, which he described as one of the fundamental energy sources in the universe alongside electromagnetic energy.
Whatever the origin of the Dome of Light, it is now clear that the intelligence community took it very seriously in the 1980s. But it is less clear what they ever learned about how the Soviets created and harnessed them.
For episode 22 of the Spycraft 101 podcast I interviewed Robert Hopkins about his career as a Cobra Ball pilot and witnessing the Dome of Light. The episode is available now.

I remember a campaign a decade ago called the “sad puppies”. Male authors, upset the Hugo Awards for sci fi writing were biased against any author who wrote “guy stuff” or was seen as conservative, advanced their own slate of nominees, as anyone can do. They swept to the point it was procedurally impossible to deny them the awards.
The Hugos had a tantrum, refused to give awards that year at all, then changed the rules. For years after (dunno if to this day), no man ever won anything again.
That’s the kind of institutional purges of men and male interests from literature that caused “men don’t read”.

Important news to my friends who use GLP-1 medications. The unwanted side effect is rare, but the consequences are severe (permanent blindness in the eye):

I just finished reading @DataRepublican's excellent book. It is a must-read both for the long history of the way our institutions of democracy have become institutions of autocracy and for its analysis of the basis of sovereignty.
If you ever wondered why the Guardians of “Our Democracy” have been trying so hard to shut you down, you want to read this book. amazon.com/Unelected-Jenn…

I Do Not Think You All Know How Pissed Off You Should Be:
NVIDIA structured certain GPU models for the US domestic market with artificial performance caps deliberately nerfing compute capability on units sold to American buyers. The rationale given was compliance with export control thresholds: keeping performance below the gating metrics that would trigger BIS licensing requirements for international sale.
This Was A Treasonous Act Of Betrayal
The actual effect? American researchers, American defense contractors, American AI startups, and American government agencies received deliberately hobbled hardware while the full-performance equivalents were being smuggled to China through Megaspeed's pipeline.
This Is A National Security Issue
American defense applications the AI systems processing satellite imagery for the NRO, the machine learning models powering drone targeting for SOCOM, the computational linguistics tools the NSA uses for signals intercepts these run on capped chips that Jensen Huang deliberately underpowered.
Jensen Huang Is Trying To Play Coy
On the other hand. Chinese military AI programs the People's Liberation Army's autonomous weapons research, the MSS's surveillance state facial recognition grid, the PLA Strategic Support Force's cyber warfare operations these were receiving full-performance chips through the smuggling pipeline that Huang's company failed to track and his MSS-linked lover helped facilitate.
He Will Not Remain Nvidia CEO
He handicapped America's compute edge while enabling China's.
This is not a regulatory technicality. This is a strategic betrayal at the silicon level. Every American researcher who couldn't get their model to train fast enough, every defense project that required more compute cycles and had to wait for next-gen hardware, every startup that lost competitive ground to Chinese firms flush with smuggled H100s they were all casualties of Jensen Huang's two-tier system.

Starting tonight at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago.
These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission.
brance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes.

"[D]emocracy is grounded upon so childish a complex of fallacies that they must be protected by a rigid system of taboos, else even half-wits would argue it to pieces. Its first concern must thus be to penalize the free play of ideas." --HLM
"For an American to question any of the articles of fundamental faith cherished by the majority is for him to run grave risks of social disaster." -- HL Mencken.

Much of government funding into Quantum Computing is probably just cargo culting the Manhattan Project.
"The physicists gave us the superweapon before, maybe if we give them enough time and money they'll do it again."

I'm giving my talk on the discovery of quasars to Astronomy class today, and I'll be using my standard joke that "Redshift Killed the Radio Star." But I'm not as certain that any of the kids in the class would get the reference.

This video is quite interesting.
I suspect the magnetic field limits the motions of the small charges in the excited atoms, resulting in only some polarization directions being emitted. Well all get emitted but not in the same directions.
