• we need more users

  I’ve been one of the people saying “we don’t need more users. we need quality over quantity” and i was wrong. the way it’s going, lemmy needs active users who post content sothat the network stays relevant. networks like the fediverse benefit from network effects and that means that if we have more users, that improves the value and quality of the fediverse overall. So please, everyone, when you can, make advertisement for the fediverse in your personal area. Go talk to friends, make attract...

• If you want to live close to nature, don't move to the countryside. Move to water bodies or mountains instead.

  Most countrysides look somewhat like that. At least the one i was forced to grow up in. Sure, there are lots of plants but nevertheless the land is ecologically dead because there’s only a few species (mostly 3 different subspecies of corn). Sure there are some trees but i think the trees feel as lonely as i did when i lived there. If you want to live in nature, go to the mountains or some place that has large bodies of water nearby (lakes, rivers, ocean). That’s where the actual life is. It...

• Brandolini's law - Wikipedia

  Brandolini’s law (or the bullshit asymmetry principle) is an Internet adage coined in 2013 by Italian programmer Alberto Brandolini. It compares the considerable effort of debunking misinformation to the relative ease of creating it in the first place. The adage states: The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it. The challenge of refuting bullshit does not come just from its time-consuming nature, but also from the challeng...

  You know what recently came to my mind… Israel is basically a military outpost for the US in the middle east. it’s one large military base that is supposed to pressure arab countries into giving their oil to the US. It’s “either you sell your oil in US dollar (which we can conveniently print at will) or … you know, Israel is your neighbor, and they have a ton of arms”. It’s an extortion scheme. This is why Israel is threatened by renewable energy. Because if the world is not dependent on oil...

  This also reminds me of something else: Yes, you can have all kinds of problems in space missions. Not just bit flips. I have been thinking about planning a mars mission. And one of the things that you need to guarantee is the safety of the crew in untested environments. Like on the surface of mars, you have to guarantee that the crew can survive at least until the next ship can arrive to help them. And launch windows to mars appear only once every two earth years (once every martian year), so...

  Like, very interesting article. It also mentions bit flips. I think the major protection against bit flips is to use larger structure sizes. Like, today’s desktop computers use structure sizes around 2 nm or sometimes even less than that. Which means you only need to shift a few electrons around to cause a bit flip. If you use larger wires inside the processor, they store more electrons so it takes more energy to flip them around. So there’s a much much smaller number of radiation particles th...

  You know how much it costs to transport stuff into space? Well, currently, around $1k/kg of material. Let that sink in.
