I'm super curious about this statement. What was profound about the properties of a Cauchy distribution for you? I watched this series of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j398FbirQY&ab_channel=Ellio... and then google practical applications of it. Is it just that you are able to use this approach to map the behavior of something that seems so complex as to be beyond distillation/mapping?

I keep seeing mention of this, with some projects fairly far along and government sponsored, but no one can answer for me how they get around the limitations of the Inverse Square Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

Basically, with the distances we're talking about, only a super tiny fraction of the energy beamed from space would make it to an earth-based receiver. I can't reconcile this basic fundamental truth with the fact that these projects actually seem real. Can anyone provide insight here? Are these just fanciful proof-of-concepts that aren't intended for actual large-scale power generation?

When Steve wrote this article, his point was Javascript or anything that creates Javascript. Or actually, we don't even really care about Javascript, just the portability and qualities we get from it and its derivatives or offshoots. Another suitable title would be "Server side only thinking is dead".
