Subject: Programming mistake ? Is clickplot archieve a Joke ? Message 1 of i
Posted by Ron Bobarsky on Sep nineteen, 2002 at 22:32
The aspect ratio and representation of the clickplots are non consistent.
When viewing the clickpot at the 256x level there is a error in my opinion.
A change occurs betwixt 7500 and 8000 seconds in the 256x beyond the lath. . .
Now I would call up a scientist would make sure he was posting something useful and accurate,
after all the clickplots were driving 23,936 graphic representations for 3.nine 1000000 "participants"
earlier the link was deleted. Is this a peanut for a impaired elephant. . .
Too independent in the link below is a comparing of anomaly in unlike days.

Bailiwick: Distributed Calculating with Payout Message 1 of 1
Posted past Ron Bobarsky on Sep 12, 2002 at thirteen:38
Respond to this message.
If the only thing I could get equally a payout is a only question answered of the Powermaps.
At one time SETI at Home believed in representing these spikes and have put a lot of fourth dimension
in generating a zoom clikpot interface and colour representations "Since tossed bated" or
due to upgrade changes decided not to represent them any more, presently subsequently my analysis
post which is probably coincidental they were removed.
If I could become a "Unauthorized", opinion which does not reflect the SETI at Habitation Team
position on the anomaly from a SETI at Home Admin.
Perchance my presentations were sporatic and not well explained and hopefully the lack
of management has not steered the admins away from taking a closer look.
They were fabricated with good intension and I practice not believe the anomaly is artifact as a issue of the process.
Thanks in advance - Ron Bobarsky

Reply to this message.
No i dont think there is an Mistake with the clickplots,
they are all fine,you run across inconsintancy wenn looking deeper in the clickplots
is normal,because certain spikes are only visible wenn look closer at the time
and frequenzy range and dont forget that the spikes are strechted out considering
the time range has streched to.
i promise this helps

Sorry its me again forget the offset explanation i chud scout your
error page before i run my oral fissure,well here is your answear
wenn watching your demostration of your error you can encounter a time range
from 4500 to 7500 and the seconde frame shows from 7500 to 11500,
that this clickplots are non the same is normal your viewing is incorrect,
what you chud do is place the commencement clickplot with the time range of 4500 to
7500 on the bottom of the screen and place the other clickplot uptop of information technology
this is the right representation of it,so you tin see a time range from 4500
to 11500,information technology has cipher to exercise with bad programming or false presentation of
the clickplots.
and so this chud help.
until later.

The Artificial Intelligence Forum -
" Earlier trying to decode a indicate, you should first find it, which is where efforts should be invested.
Regarding finding the indicate, it depends what types of signals we are looking for. If nosotros are looking for
intentional beacons, it should exist obvious how such signals will look similar. The most obvious signal is a
very narrowband continuous signal, which should be piece of cake to find. The frequency tin can exist anything, merely a
skillful place to start looking is around 1.42GHz. For a sensitive search you should also compensate for the
drift charge per unit caused by the relative accelaration of the source, which is what SETI@home is doing.
If yet y'all are trying to look for any radio leakage, than the signals could be annihilation.
So in an ideal state of affairs, some kind of an artificial intelligence tin can be useful in distinguishing
signals from the noise. In do however, this is not where the problem lies. The really big trouble
of SETI is Earthly interference. Despite the fact that SETI@home is searching a very narrow frequency ring,
where any communications are prohibited past international treaties, it is constantly picking an unbelievable
number of man-made signals of every possible type. Sifting these is the real problem. If you volition first
looking for every unusual design, you will exist completely ovewhelmed by artificial signals of the blazon you exercise not want.
So it is usually more realistic to seach only for a pocket-size number of very specific patterns and have a list of the usual
types of interference, so that they won't overwhelm you.
SETI@home is currently searching for 4 types of signals. You can run into the details on their site or a quick description on mine."

Applications of Reckoner Graphics Software Tools
Jim Ten. Chen, Ophir Frieder
Graphics software tools open upward new possibilities for researchers and scientists, but learning graphics programming
might seem time-consuming or difficult, and the many new graphics tools might seem overwhelming. Fortunately, if y'all
know how graphics work and the functions of basic graphics tools, you can understand and employ some of the tools
without condign a graphics expert. Our purpose is to introduce and categorize some graphics tools and their applications,
though non to provide an exhaustive listing of tools and their explicit functions, because new graphics tools with various
combinations of functions emerge every solar day. Through explaining and categorizing a few graphics tools and their main
applications, we hope to evidence you lot the different functions and applications of computer graphics so visualization, modeling,
simulation, and virtual reality tin complement your piece of work.

Ron, I found the anomaly very interesting, simply for other reasons!!!
Part 1: The Tedious Flake
----------------------
Consider where the data you are looking at came from, that is, the clickplot.
Essentially What is plotted is the occurrence of power spikes vs time(y axis)
at a given EM frequency(x centrality). The bespeak force of the fasten (pixel at ten,y
co-ordinate) is colour encoded.
What is non known from the clickplot is the celestial co-ordinates and at a
given time on the clickplot. This depends on where the telescope was pointing
at the fourth dimension. Also the clickplot simply references time with respect to the start
or the data record not actual time of recording.
I assume that your graphic transform functions are just recoding pixel
colours and leaving the x and y co-ordinates untouched and yous are transforming
the entire clickplot.
Now the time range on the clickplot spans some 16 hours of real-fourth dimension
continuously recorded signals. At a judge, your bibelot spans some x hours of
real time!!.
Since the Arecibo telescope cannot 'follow' an object at a fixed celestial co-
ordinate, this ways the source of the signal, if it is extra-terrestrial, is
coming from an object whose length almost spans the entire visible sky!!!!!
More than likely the source of the betoken may be only earthbound radio
interference.
As for features that resemble torso parts, I suggest that this is not an
artifact from the clickplot information or your graphic processing merely our brain'due south
estimation of what we see in the plot or paradigm. We run into a series of dots,
dots of close color, dissimilarity, etc, become lines and curves and these go
shapes we attempt to recognise. The bulk of the visual cortex is devoted to one
elementary chore, facial recognition, so it is no suprise that our brain tries first
to detect a face or office of a face in any non-familiar image.
In the original clickplot that you establish the anomaly, I can actually discern
what appears to be two humanoid faces and I can make out a body and some limbs
attached to one of the faces. Zooming in on 1 of the faces, I can make out
afterward a while hairlines, eyes, olfactory organ, mouth and jaw line. I'grand not kidding.
Maybe some people tin can see information technology and others tin't. But I realise its just my
brain'due south visual processing organization working overtime trying to interpret the paradigm
into something information technology tin recognise.
Knowing the origin of the source data for the image, I'd use occam'southward razor to
say my brain was existence fooled rather than an ET (or other nonhuman) encoding an
prototype in a obscure format that essentially relies on ET knowing that nosotros are
looking at a specific function of the EM spectrum, measuring the strength of of
power spikes in that spectrum vs fourth dimension and and so plotting the data in an abstract
manner , and ET would take to know the telescope path and slew rates as well, to
make sure the prototype was properly encoded. (Or ET may exist human after all, hacked
into the SETI database and played with it. I hope not.)
Part 2. The Interesting Fleck
---------------------------
The technique y'all are using does provide important information. It shows in an
instant that there is something peculiar virtually the data. A valuable visual
assist, and then to speak, to quickly analyse data without writing exotic number
crunching programs.
Yes there is something unusual most the clickplot and the signals recorded on
the clickplots source data tape. Ron, I hope the SETI administrators look
closely at what your doing to encounter if can be used as an boosted analysis tool.
I am non ET oriented, nor decumbent to exotic explanations, so my thinking is quite
mundane. Below is some of the questions that get-go came to my mind when I read
about your anomaly, and there are many more.
Firstly, if the source of the anomaly was earthbound interfernce, then given
the continuous time length of the anomaly, the inteference was sustained and
local to Arecibo. Was information technology faulty receiving and recording equipment or recording
media? Were technicians at Arecibo doing something that acquired inteference to
be recorded on the SETI record? etc, etc.
Secondly, if the source of the anomaly was not earthbound, what are the
possible sources?
a) As estimated above, the size of the object is very large. 10 hours of existent
time translates into 150 degrees of arc. The moon and sunday are approx 1/2 degree
of arc in diameter, so imagine looking upwards at the sky and seeing something that
is at least 300 times as wide as the dominicus or moon, extending across the whole
sky!. Unfortunately I do non know where the telescope was pointing during this
time. The only object I know of that fits this description is the Milky way
(its actually encircles the entire heaven, so we may simply be looking at a part of
it). If the Galaxy is the source creating the bibelot, what is creating the
spikes and why practice they appear to be centred at around 1419.5mhz (guessing from
the position of the anomaly on the image).
b) I don't know the bodily time the information was recorded, but what if the source
was solar wind interacting with earth's magnetic field? Again what machinery
could produce spikes centered around 1419.5mhz? Any other solar related
phenomena that could explain it?
c) What if it is an unknown object? The Gum Nebula, a super nova remnant, is a
very large celestial object than spans most twoscore degrees of arc. To give yous
some thought of the size of this thing, extend your manus at arms length and spread
your fingers, your hand would only cover half the width of the nebula. It would
be interesting to see your processed images of spikes with reference to
celestial co-ordinates at given frequencies to meet if any large patterns
emerge, rather than the clickplot source data that just traces the telscope
path.
Thirdly, could someone exist tampering with the information tapes, data splitter
algorthims, render results, etc?
-------
Continue on! Its expert to run into someone trying a different and lateral approach to
analyse the SETI information.

I uped it a hundred and the plan saw a hundred more units done. Is this file replaced everytime you send

Subject: Why I've given upwardly Seti@Home Message 1 of 1
Posted by wopp on Aug 20, 2002 at 22:44
Two days ago, I started shutting down setiathome on the computers I used to run it on. That's no reason to mail here,
but someone asked, and I consider it feedback the Seti@Home Administration should be interested in, even if they're
probably not. I'm non spending hours on this message out of boredom. Sorry if letters from me may occasionally
reflect my point of view in cases where I find it advisable. I'll normally keep my stance out of it.
Why did I decide to stop running setiathome?
It'southward a combination of several reasons.
one.) I started running setiathome well-nigh 2.five years ago, considering I was interested
in the scientific aspect. Not the astronomy, the distributed computing.
Well, mainly the distributed computing. The astronomic function is of course
interesting as well, just even Seti@Home states that the chances of
discoveries are minimal. That's no reason not to endeavor, but information technology may be a
reason to put priorities elsewhere (other DC projects, free energy savings
...). Only the computer science aspects are real, important, and
interesting.
How is it feasible to combine the efforts of thousands of users worldwide
into a ciphering and get a meaningful consequence out of it? How do yous
prevent people from sending in faux results (both fake negative and simulated
positive)? How do you ensure that people don't "hold dorsum" results, thus
leaving holes in your scientific data? How practise you go users to
participate in the endeavor? How many users practice you get to participate in
the effort? How much calculating power is that in total? How much computing
power am I able to "recruit" and add to the effort? How does that relate
to other people? How practise y'all cope with the enormous amounts of data - both
the storage and the communication over the cyberspace? How many platforms
is it worthwhile to support? How practise you ensure security? What bug
occur for the participants? The very idea of using otherwise wasted CPU
cycles is an interesting aspect.
Seti@Domicile had some really interesting solutions to some of these
questions. They had obviously put a lot of thought into the project. A
lot of endeavour. Information technology turned out they had underestimated the participation,
but that'south life. It'southward not important to know everything beforehand, it'due south
of import to exist able to conform.
They adapted a bit as well much, for my gustation, or better: in a incorrect way.
When they were unable to cope with the corporeality of WU downloads and event
uploads [that at least is my guess, and we seem to have to judge here],
they threw some of the aspects I mentioned above overboard. While there
are surely some interesting informatics aspects left, many are no
longer applicable (or at least questionable). You probably all know what
I'm referring to.
2.) Information politics/demonstration of concern. There were some valid
questions asked here on this board, which are even so defective an answer. I
realize the Seti@Home Coiffure are a small overworked group. But still: if I,
as voluntary contributor in a projection, have the feeling - justified or
not - that they are neglecting important responsibilities, then I leave
the projection. And that's that. And normally I don't even give them feedback
on it.
Matt Lebofsky wrote on Aug 12:
> There'due south discussion at present in the group to formally state our
> "cheater policy" somewhere on the website. Hopefully something
> will exist posted soon.
That almost sounds every bit if a give-and-take on this board has finally started
something that was long overdue. Just that was viii.5 days ago. To date,
nothing has been posted. If the Seti@Home Administration tin't post a
simple argument proverb that they do non encourage cheating within this
time, then I take to suppose that they either don't care or really do
encourage information technology. Adept for the numbers [I gauge this will end upwards in the
Guiness Volume Of Records some twenty-four hour period, although the numbers are in fact
worthless and information technology should therefore not]. Practiced for the sponsors. Good
"motivation" for additional users. Small wonder they want to proceed quiet
well-nigh it. They don't? Well, they are, aren't they?
3.) The motivation organization has failed, and I'chiliad taking my consequences.
When I joined the projection, I was a few days (or weeks?) later than my
friends I founded a team with. I had access to some fairly new and fast
equipment and found myself overtaking my boyfriend team members. I friend of
mine got real decorated to observe boosted computers to run setiathome on in
order to go on ahead of me. I got real busy optimizing my computers,
writing a caching program to avoid the idle minutes of WU download, and
finally even ownership equipment so I could overtake him and accomplish other
goals that suddenly seemed reachable.
While seeing Seti@Abode equally a race is often criticized and said to be "the
wrong motivation", I often read about people trying to accomplish some
"goals" (and I've never actually read requests to End running setiathome
for these reasons). Whether information technology'south a race with others, a race with
yourself, an effort to get a colourful certificate: what's the
deviation? And allow's not forget, the motivation system the Seti@Home
Crew has carefully designed is based upon this. Why accept stats, teams,
ranking if you're not supposed to look at them? I imagine the amount of
CPU time contributed by this "racing" is enormous, and I imagine that is
what was intended. Without racing, who would become to the trouble of
investing any additional effort? Tuning your system, installing and using
(or even writing!) caching software, supervising a "Seti Subcontract", finding
the cause of problems and eliminating them [yeah, that's this very help
desk lath] all accept a lot of fourth dimension. If it was only "making a reasonable
effort at contributing otherwise wasted CPU cycles" noone would get to all
that trouble. For the astronomical scientific effort? Yeah, perhaps, but
because the vast amounts of processing power added, will information technology brand whatever
difference whether I contribute a few hours more or less each twenty-four hour period? If I'grand
racing someone or even merely trying to go my 500 outcome document at
concluding, then they will. Ranking IS a very of import motivating force. Was.
I've done a lot of piece of work for nothing. I'm non wasting any more than endeavour.
Sorry.
Another aspect: ranking keeps usa involved with the project. We check the
stats pages every day. We wouldn't check the technical problems folio
every 24-hour interval (unless of course at that place's an acute problem ;-).
4.) Betrayal of organized religion in the project. I only said it. I invested a lot of fourth dimension,
good volition, and money into the projection, based on the impression I had.
I argued with people over whether running setiathome on their reckoner
will brand any deviation for them; that they should at least endeavour it out.
Now I find out that it was all in vain. And, fifty-fifty worse, the conditions
have inverse - from what I can find out at least six months ago! -
without this being made public. If I had not heard information technology from a different
source, I would STILL be making efforts that I should know are worthless.
I acknowledge that I do not spend that much time browsing this site - I only
practice not have the time. While everything seemed to run well, I just checked
the technical news page every now and again. Only: I am a fellow member of a team
with something like 60, 70 active members (nosotros've recently exploded to
over 200, only I'1000 talking of the time earlier) with a web site with forum.
We encounter people from other teams once per calendar month and talk virtually the
project. Information technology is difficult to believe that ALL OF United states of america should take missed a vital
announcement.
And let'southward not forget: Seti@Abode has our email addresses. While I
appreciate that I don't get an e-mail every few days from them, and while
I am quite aware of the amount of traffic an email to all participants
would generate, I maintain information technology would exist feasible (restrict it to the
"agile" participants as they do the class registration pages, send it to
users when they accomplish a milestone, do some serious optimizing to send it
only once to each MX necessary, ...) if in that location is something important to
announce.
5.) Efficiency considerations seem to exist completely non-existant lately. Whether
it's the default setup of the 3.07 customer that finer wastes
something like fourscore% of the CPU power - quite opposite to the initial idea
of Seti@Home - or the reanalysis of the 1999 WUs while there is notwithstanding and then
much completely unanalyzed data effectually or the credible lack of concern
whether the scientific data remains uncontaminated or the occasional
remarks about "buying time" in the meaning of "keeping us busy until some
problem is solved", my impression is that Seti@Dwelling house is non behaving in a
responsible mode when using the participants' CPU time. True: due to the
motivation system, a lot of people may not cut down their processing even
if someone publicly announces that they don't demand as much CPU time
[which I cannot really imagine to exist the instance anyway]. As well true: if you
tell someone, his participation is at the moment non needed, he might not
come up back when it is. But also true: running setiathome uses energy and
thus costs coin. I found an interesting statement on this topic in
http://folding.stanford.edu/faq.html#misc.power (it'south the Folding@home
FAQ merely this indicate (and non only this point) applies just besides to
setiathome). While the general statement is "it'due south not that much money",
I don't appreciate people wasting my money, even if they recollect information technology's "non
much" coin. And, with several computers (and newer ones using more
power) it actually isn't that little.
Let me put this straight: I'g non trying to convince all of you to terminate running setiathome.
If your reasons for joining are withal valid, go on. I'll even assist you by continuing to respond questions here.
I believe that some points that Seti@Home is not addressing should be talked well-nigh, and so I'm talking nearly them.
I wish I could take read this message 6 months ago. I may or may not take taken any consequences, but at least
I would accept been able to decide for myself. I know many people will non appreciate this, merely if someone does:
keen. If the Seti@Home Team just thinks about my remarks and possibly takes 1 or two considerations into SAH Ii: even meliorate.
If someone can convince me that I'm wrong, please do. I'k not happy about this decision, but for me and from what I know it makes sense.
Happy crunching in any example.

Why did SETI at Abode ingest the cluster of extra birdies in Clickplot: 29au99aa?

I have found a correlation with something and I desire to discredit information technology before posting and would appreciate it if you could perchance reply this question.
Also does seti at home employ the returned units in different ways other than looking at prospective candidates.
Thanks in advance - Ron Bobarsky

The respond to your question is: we don't know.
Notwithstanding, if you look at the corresponding skymap (available from
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/clickplots/ for that appointment), you'll see that
the telescope is moving across the sky during those vertical line periods,
implying that we picked up some kind of interference, either from a technical
problem at Arecibo or a local Earth-based signal of some kind that our
receiver was picking upward regardless of where the telescope was pointed.
Hope this helps,
