Any advice for this? I legitimately cannot find any way to set the heliocycloxine valves to stay at a constant rate. At this point I'm worried about indimentrium forming and causing rapid expansion in the telludinare chamber, which leads to... y'know.

Modern VDEs like Ongrify are magic... they'll generate boilerplate cohesion strings, compile your L9 matrices down into machine code, map the grid core fluctuators to your personal algorithms. But then you lose touch with the lower level layers of your own VX software.

I'm still using Xinner (yes, the original 1967 version!) and I manage all that stuff myself. It seems like more work, but when something really screws up I know exactly how to fix it, and I fix it fast! Plus I can copy my setup and bring it to anybody else's machine and get running in no time. And the keyboard and prambda panel shortcuts are sooo much better than using the touchpad and the dials! My shoulder hurts whenever I have to use somebody's VDE.

Some of you love your Texicon setups, but that's just too hardcore for me. I know a guy who flies a drone around the neighbourhood using Texicon. I just want a damn editor. But Texicon is still better than modern VDEs in my opinion.

Hey friends!

I recently got my hands on some premium Herkimer Diamonds - anyone in local VX groups I frequent has probably figured out who I am by now! - but anyways...

I was trying out a novel technique for sputtershifting, hence the Herkimers, and had both of my logisters set to 10 millimetres slidewise of the 650-700 nanometre band... so, firmly in C-Wave domain. Took me about three seconds at full-tilt to realize the lid wasn't closed fully, and now half my room won't stop glowing a dim teal!

I know, I "should have gone through the Eierschale Checklist before running anything in the C-Wave Domain" and all... don't judge me too harshly, I was just really anxious to try this out!

Peers, I'm so proud.

My genetic firstborn Helfberg is 8 years old (standard) and has been watching his pops maximize throughput on his RD-6x quantum gate dilennium gigaplexic capacitator for a while now.

In recent months he's been wanting to help, so I gave him some reading materials on Bernardi's thermodynamic anti-principles, basic counterflomic guidestreams, BLENQ, and Level II organic aeroparticulate repurposing.

Before I knew it, he was hard at work in the shop on his first IHR Assembly! [see photo]

My son's first IHR Assembly! [pre-installation]

You'll immediately notice his savvy use of:

  • Stock VX 3^ thermo-sink dissipators (+/- 35 wents) for ambient stablation
  • A Helofoam graphene-infused core buffer cap
  • A frankly elegant use of .45bx ecopolymer osmotic fezzlers for static redissipation
  • The simple transparent aluminum reflux monitor (I was delighted by this)

He's really quite good already.

(Obviously he still needs more understanding of dynamic micro/macro TLI flow tendencies and nanorefraternization -- but he's well on his way!)

Naturally, we wanted to take it for a spin.

After careful inspection and a few minor neoplexic stent modifications, I mounted his Assembly to the blenticulated aux output on my secondary 3500 NGL sublimator (NOT the main line for a first test, duh).

We spun it up to a modest 22 cycles/m^6.3y (and only +0.1 ampl2 pins -- I didn't want to vaporize Philadelphia LOL!) and... it held up to 22.6 gigafloqs! It was awesome.

Unfortunately, the buffer cap seal gave out at a mere 3.2 p/s and sent a double-recarbonized Bellenstein heat bloom through the quanticulated safety release valve. (That's what it's there for, I guess!)

As you can see, Helfberg's synthetic comfort ursus-analog Teddy Rauxbendt bore the brunt of the charged dynamic overpressure. Ooops. Poor thing.

Aside from that, we're all none the worse for wear. A successful first test, and Helfy's made me so proud. He's already busy planning a compound plentificated stratification automator. Gonna need a bigger shop!

I can't wait for him to learn about elemental reoxytorbinations... then things will REALLY get exciting. Will keep you updated.

In the meantime, keep following your VX passion and inspiring the next generation.

Have a wonderful day!

My child is pretty set on a career in industrial VX. Unfortunately, they are going to a small college without a dedicated VX major. As we all know, classic problems like encabulation involve mechanical and electrical engineering. But I keep hearing that encabulation is no longer as big a research area compared to aperturation and heterosimulation, and VX is more interdisciplinary than ever. Here are our notes so far:

  • EE: For signal processing these days more than hands-on stuff or EM. For example tracking a graphon through reticulated torsion flutes, or cisducer optimization. When working with older systems sometimes you still need to hand-solder circuits. Lots of buzz about heterosimulation reducing carbon footprint compared to full simulation, not sure if this will work out.
  • Quantum or plasma physics. Quantum effects are key in VX, most of this is beyond me. Lots of industry demand for better plasma aperturation at higher energies, and this is likely to continue for as long as we can't magically aperturate the oscillators. Dirac helices used in aperturation are basically modified stellarators.
  • Something with good pathways to engineering management. Given the events of 2022, we'll never forget the horrible consequences of contaminated samarium in safety-critical parts. With enough superlimation leverage, the next big disaster could potentially be prevented. But this seems like basically a management problem, not a technical one.

What looks best here, and am I missing anything?

Original Title: I have succeeded in making a modular harmonic resonator in 2 parts using knowledge from a Dutch electrical engineering text. If I can get a university to publish my work it should advance the development of galvanized epitaxial silicon carbide electrolytes for use in pseudo harmonic muon implanters.

Sometimes people in this community complain about their delta or some other metric being low, often blaming this on component suppliers. As a newer VX enthusiast I'd like to explain why I think this is unhelpful at best and toxic at worst.

Basically, VX is an inherently unforgiving domain. Almost all arrangements of atoms achieve a maximum delta of zero (or undefined for degenerate systems). It basically requires 10-15 miracles of technology for your home-built or custom industrial machine to achieve positive delta.

Take gel-based repolarizers. People thought these would completely replace Saltzman repolarizers. But in practice, gel sheaves must be VERY thixotropic, ambipolarizable, resistant to energy doping, and (due to Marangoni effect) resistant to rogue phonons. This is an extremely difficult list of properties to satisfy. Rogue phonons are a complex interaction between other VX components, so we should be celebrating when they reliably miss your resonant frequencies. If you tried to build one yourself, the gel would look like this after like 0.1 second. Likewise energy dopants are deliberately designed to alter mixing energies, so it’s basically a miracle that current loci (pun not intended) are resistant. I hope I don’t need to explain ambicoupling or why ambipolarizability is difficult.

All this means that when you get bad polarization or need to spend 10x as much on an “obsolete” Saltzman or Saltzman-Carey repolarizer, there is no conspiracy against you. One of the 10-15 miracle components is just slightly less miraculous in your particular setting. Same with APW or TDMC issues. Luckily we at least tend to be adults about eg dynanofluxer stability.

So in conclusion, we’re sometimes doing the equivalent of blaming 3d printing companies for not having dirt-cheap titanium parts with perfect tolerances. Or worse, blaming titanium for being difficult to machine when this is directly related to it being strong and useful. Don’t think this way, it just doesn’t help anyone.

If you disagree I'd like to hear your opinion, but don't just complain about repolarizers or fluxers.
