The way things are being reported nowadays about such strange shenanigans in remote virtual fields would sort of definitively suggest it a natural progression to be fully expected .... to be vehemently defiantly denied by that which and those whom know no better and are kept in the dark outside of vital strategic loops.

Meanwhile ...... further on higher up and deeper down within its multiple lairs, because of titanic discoveries unearthed and colossal otherworldly understandings understood and exercised, are monsters and daemons/saints and sinners made ready and released to freely roam and lay waste to worlds and infrastructures/systems and SCADA machinery in dire straits need of creative reinvention and/or destructive reconstruction.

Do you recognise anything strange or untoward and likely to cause any outage of services? If you could, would you realise it and await to see if there were any negative consequences, or pregnant pauses in the case of there being no direct indication or engaging notification of one being thought involved and/or instrumental in the seeding and feeding of an "undiscovered software bug"/novel disruptive means of creative information distribution and vice versa?

On Tuesday I wrote a different post to this. It actually gave the detail of what David Llewellyn posted, and examined it. My article also revealed who was behind the complaint against him, and referred to some interesting history of Llewellyn’s own investigations.

However I received strong advice that to publish my article might itself be construed contempt of court, and that I ran the risk of being instantly jailed rather than free pending appeal, and further that to publish may attract yet another political prosecution from the Crown Office. I therefore did not publish and cannot give you the detail of the Llewellyn case, at least until after its conclusion.

I find this deeply depressing. I should not, in normal circumstances, have had the slightest hesitation in giving you the detail of what is happening to Dave Llewellyn, and more importantly why, in the same way I did with Mark Hirst. I find the notion that my own journalism is successfully being “chilled” in this way highly worrying, and this adds to the sense of injustice I feel in my own case. In fact anger and perhaps even humiliation at the powerlessness – and fear I am becoming a coward – has pretty well prostrated me for three days. I feel somewhat recovered now, and determined to fight on. But for the first time I find myself seriously considering, after my case is concluded, leaving my beloved Scotland and going to live in a country which does not jail dissident writers. ....

Fiddling while Rome burns ... 'twas ever the case when history repeat itself, but it doesn't rhyme.

To lessen this, computer systems that enter radioactive environments are "hardened" to increase their lifespan and mitigate the risk of single-event error (SEE) glitches.

In the documentation, BAE also claimed it can adapt to SEE glitches at a loss of just 1 per cent of the chip's processing power.

A novel claim of reasonably acceptable percentile loss made in what is considered generations ago in the fields that yield and wield and shield power and energy with hardened integrated circuits/processing units/virtual machinery but which if proferred again for the realities of today, confronted and attacked as they are by a constant persistent penetrating onslaught of myriad tsunami SEE waves against systems administrations defences*, would be rightly dismissed as lunatic nonsensical verging on the criminally negligent and insanely delusional ie woefully and painfully over-optimistic.

And have you not all been already advised on similar hardened matters regarding future SEE glitches in order to more fully prepare yourselves for the unavoidable emergent consequences. To imagine and then to further think one can successfully escape to an untouched and untouchable environment is novel and similarly unreasonably woeful and painfully optimistic. Some might even go further full metal jacket and venture bat shit crazy, and they wouldn't be wrong whenever so easily proven right.

The government funding of the BBC to add a few greater bells and shrill whistles onto their crashing train wreck of an easily abused and cynically misused education and entertainment tool spewing programs and projects almost freely into the homes and minds of viewers and listeners, is not useful whenever the content is less than stellar and universally attractive.

Re: Independent R&D Subcontractors

the BBC hailed interactive TV as a new medium, after TV and radio, but they eventually closed the interactive TV team as a waste of licence fee money. In pursuing this again (but with shinier technology) it seems that the BBC tech departments have no accumulated corp experience and too much cash to blow. ..... Rob 15

Now that is very encouraging news, Rob 15, to that and those with the novel shinier technology know-how to make much more effective dynamic ACTive use of the likes of a BBC, and in a fashion not very dissimilar to fulfil wishes of their own, and with only as much flash cash as it is necessary to blow [as in invest in and donate to able and enabling drivers] for I would wholeheartedly and vehemently dispute and disagree that there is no accumulated corp experience available to such as BBC tech departments, although it may be the case that it is not essentially in-house incestuous and home grown by such businesses/corporations/organisations themselves.

And have you any idea how much as a vital invisible export that Progressive Effective Dynamic ACTive IT Programming expertise would be worth to other mass multi media mogul operations scattered right around the globe? Methinks any digit followed by more noughts that can ever be spent would be prime indicative of it real value and true worth.

I think you'll find, PM, it is much more the case that foreign administrations don't like/want BBC programming directly interfering with their own media hosted manipulation/remote audiotelevisual command and control of native subjects/home based objects.

It is probably why it appears to be a gentlemanly reciprocal arrangement right across the globe so that there can be many Caesars doing their wannabe leader thing to audiences which might understand them and be encouraged and/or fooled into supporting them whenever shown recordings of what they/mass multimedia mogul operations have done/are doing/are planning to do on your behalf in their interests.

It does create and exacerbate conflict in any bigger united picture programming though, all those silos and walled gardens/virtual gulags and private prisons, although if anyone anywhere were to begin broadbandcasting attractive imaginative creative programs which all can enjoy to experience the belief that beings just like themselves whenever all can see/hear/realise they are part and parcel and instrumental in the production, direction and presentation of a novel interactive future existence hosted via all manner of ubiquitous broadbandcasting devices displaying alternate versions of augmented virtualised reality in other domains/foreign lands/alien spaces, one imagines the program and project would be warmly welcomed as an advanced masterpilot for testing/copying/pirating.

Governments have no direct effective powers in the virtual communications spaces of internetworking world wide webs where a this shared here, is a that which is missing delivered elsewhere to someone else, and together are they something new altogether different never even imagined as being possible and easily realised for employment and enjoyment/deployment in AI APPlications, wherever they are trailed and trialed.

For things not to go catastrophically wrong for them, do the wiser of governments direct and invent funding streams and justifications for publicly financed private spending on Ethereal SMARTR Projects with Advanced IntelAIgent ProgramMING ........ they recreate and again utilise that old stalwart of fiat currency magic which is always available with the seeding and feeding and resting of secretive vital national security interest slush funds in accounts which can be personally and privately and publicly used to demonstrate progress in Leading Driver Programs/AIMaster Piloted Projects.

It is the only thing they need to do in order to guarantee future success, and it doesn't do their own future prospects any great harm either, rather than endure suffering and taste the bitterness of defeat, because of a failure to do what they can so easily do without any direct peering oversight because of vital national security interests, are they practically decimated and virtually destroyed by competition more able and agile in the field.

Re: " "step-by-step instructions" on passing theory and practical exams" relating to complex systems

Not a single one I've investigated actually tests the skills needed in real world practice. They merely validate the ability to remember some factoid or repeat some standard procedure when prompted, whereas what's actually needed is the ability to work out reliably and fast what the hell is going on in the face of the unexpected and come up equally swiftly with an appropriate course of action. ...... Mike 137

And that is what most probably has resulted in the current dire straits predicament and present horrendous reputation for serial global failures in foreign international interventions and mercenary expeditions of Uncle Sam and his Five Eyes cohorts/the conspiring camp followers and aspiring poison pen writers of the West, despite the land of the free and the brave and media pimping and pumping and dumping the likes of a secret Pentagon army of 60,000 undercover operatives into the open as any sort of measure of success whenever it would so clearly be signalling fundamental failure on a heart breaking scale.

The difficulty such operations have, and it be much the same in any similar case everywhere else too, is that even whenever it is clearly pointed out to them what the problem is, they appear to be disenabled to address, with a meaningful effective radical change of policy and direction, that which would be the least that they would need to heed and provide, or be provided with, in order to head off rapidly approaching catastrophes.

One does what one can in such instances, but if the dead duck horse doesn't want to drink from the trough of ancient wisdom and novel intelligence, best leave it alone in its misery to sink into the stink of its own fetid demise.
