  • this guy from Tom’s hardware doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about, so, go to the original :

    Single-mode fibers, used for long-distance communication, send only one light signal at a time, usually from a laser. Multimode fibers have a wider core and allow multiple light signals from LEDs to travel through them. However, these signals bounce off the fiber’s edges, which can scramble the data.

    Scientists have ways to fix this problem, like using artificial neural networks or spatial light modulators, but these methods take time and use a lot of energy. They also require changing the light signals into electrical signals before processing them, which slows things down.

    To solve this issue, researchers added tiny diffractive neural networks, about the size of a grain of salt, to the ends of ultra-thin multimode fibers. These networks can read and process light signals in real-time without needing complex computing power.

    The Chosen Path

    As the dust settles from the intense deliberations, the military leadership announces their decision: they have chosen to side with the people of the United States. This choice is rooted in a deep commitment to the Constitution and the fundamental rights it guarantees. The leaders articulate that their loyalty lies not with a tyrannical government that seeks to oppress its citizens, but with the ideals of democracy, freedom, and justice that the military has sworn to protect.

    The announcement sparks a wave of mixed reactions. Many soldiers, inspired by the decision, feel a renewed sense of purpose and camaraderie with the citizens they have sworn to defend. They prepare to stand alongside the protesters, ready to protect their right to voice dissent and demand change. (… to be developed further with personal stories … )

    However, the decision also leads to significant consequences. The orange prick, furious at the military’s defiance, escalates its crackdown on dissent, branding the military’s actions as treasonous. Loyalist factions within the military begin to mobilize, leading to a potential civil conflict. ( …again, many possibilities to develop here…)

    As the military prepares to take a stand with the people, they face logistical challenges, including how to protect civilians while maintaining order. (… ? … )
