Probably not as lungs are behind the rib cage and filled with air, making two sources of spurious reflections that could be dangerous with high intensity ultrasounds.


Getting the US through the skull bone is next to impossible due to the acoustic impedance mismatch with surrounding tissues. As a stranger I'm deeply sorry for your situation, and thought your question should be answered somehow...

If you want to dig a little bit, the team of Mathias Fink in Paris explored "time reversal" techniques to get through the skull: one have to emmit from the tumor location, listen with a huge array, reverse the signature and blast. I don't know if this ended with a medical device.

Take care.


Thanks for the kind words and the response, I'll take a look. Even though it feels fruitless as we've already got doctors working on it and likely much more aware of what's available or coming. I'm just a software engineer who's trying to make sense of it all.


Brillant, I'm stealing it.


Even Meta approves. If it is not your data why should data protection laws apply ?


I need to know if this is running e-banking a.k.a. "we are secure, yet is that you that made this payment" apps?


True that compared to FoxDot, Sardine or Tidal, the syntax and visualization are just making the whole thing a real pleasure to use.

But this is way too taxing for my linux boxes that are ending stuttering quite badly sometimes. Are you all using macs or something?


Weird. My android phone is 3+ years old and was not a flagship when I got it. It had a little problem with stuttering on more complex examples. It sounded like it was running out of things that can play at the same time, but scrolling was still smooth. It didn't feel like it was pinning my phone's cpu. On my laptop, it didn't break a sweat with firefox and pipewire. Are you sure it's not a config issue?


I can't tell, things like BespokeSynth are running ok with alsa or jack. I got the rt kernel, made a few things to audio priority, fiddled with governors, but no luck. Let's say that it happens quite quickly with the Stitch Angel fast trance example "the key needs to be G" supersaw synth.

Chromium is better at it than Firefox though.

Maybe this 5800X3D needs a buff up...


> alsa or jack. I got the rt kernel, made a few things to audio priority, fiddled with governors,

Maybe the issue is you touched too much?

A 5800X3D is freaking power house. It's not a hardware issue. You can run "fast trance" on a laptop twice the age of your CPU.


Yes, true, any music production oriented live distro recommendation to test if it's the case anyone?


Teleportation? That would kill the hiking simulator vibe!


There's a "signpost fast travel" mod that lets you teleport to any town mentioned on signposts as long as you have visited it before, while paying a small fee for an imaginary guide. That's a decent compromise, given how tricky actual real-time pathfinding can be in Morrowind.

(Otherwise my favourite system comes from Daggerfall Unity, where there is a mod that lets your character automatically, in real time, follow roads until the next fork/intersection. With an option for time compression that really hits the sweet spot of being explicit travel without being tedious.)


Teleportation is actually in the base game, just with only one mark and recall point, as you may know.

The mods I’ve seen add a selectable list and scale out how many locations you’re allowed to save based on your associated magic skill.

So it’s both a boon to quality of life and still relatively balanced and not too overpowered.


I have a coworker who usually say that billions of flies can't be wrong. Maybe we should just start eating what they eat.


I've been saying it for years. Windows are for bugs.


That last point is even enough as demonstrated by the swiss people voting for the eID, democratically paving the way for future mass surveillance and total dependency to our iOS and Android locked bootloaders overlords. As stated further down this is all stemming from education.


>As stated further down this is all stemming from education.

This is the downside of public education: the state isn't incentivised to teach you things that could undermine its power.


I was running it on an Odroid N2 for 2-3 years, and upgraded to a RK3588 Orange Pi something a couple of years ago. It's not fast but it's useable. At one point I succeded in making the collaborative editing working, but it stopped after updates. Maybe it needs more love than what I'm able to spare, but the feeling after years is that you have to accept some level of unreliability.


GP bikes are faster than dirt bikes, but not on dirt. The context has some influence here.
