Joe Scott is like listening to ChatGPT. In most videos you'll find confidently wrong stuff like "we communicate mostly through satellites these days ... they're only having to go up you know 100 or so kilometers."

Seems weird that the "Mountains" link doesn't label Olympus Mons. It's the tallest mountain in the solar system.

How often do ships actually go there due to navigational error? Somebody should leave a buoy with cameras or something. Edit: The Gulf of Guinea region has a decent amount of ship traffic, so a ship would have to stop at 0,0 and change dir

For new reactors, we could put an abundant source of water inside the building, like NuScale is planning. There are also high temperature reactor designs that use air cooling.

Kw/H -> kWh It really is quite impressive to write a 3-letter unit with 4 errors.

The 1MB limit was ridiculous. My MV3 extension uses storage.local (on disk) for session data, only because the quota is 5X bigger than storage.session (in ram). I'm waiting for 112 to hit stable so I can migrate to storage.session only

The radius of a 30 billion solar mass black hole is still less than 1% of a light year. For comparison, the nearest star \{Sol} is about 4 light years away.

Congrats, you just used "would of", "should of", and "could of" in a single thread.

How can mv and mv² explain the damage "equally well", when one is linear and the other is quadratic with respect to velocity?

How about a verifiable religion, where the "bible" hashes to 0 exactly? The only problem is, I'm not omniscient enough to write it.

You forgot the biggest distributed computing project: finding SHA256 hashes with lots of zeroes at the beginning.

Landing and taking off again doesn't obviously conserve energy. Midway has fuel, but there's probably not much accessible food on a cargo ship. I wonder if birds are smart enough to notice which direction the ship is moving?

The best way to eliminate the Price-Anderson Act is to design reactors that are orders of magnitude safer, so the insurance never needs to pay out. Some of the proposed SMRs seem in line with this goal.

Decimal is actually a nightmare for dealing with common CIDR prefixes. Would you rather write '1111111111110000' as fff0 or 65520?

That's difficult to memorize, just like it would be difficult to memorize the mailing address for a random hut in Africa. The world is a big place, so unique addresses are necessarily long. If I wanted a memorable local address like

fd::1 == 00fd::0001, which is reserved by IETF. The :: only expands to fill all-zero hextets.

Do you think we should write addresses like 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001, or what else would you propose?
807.
by p1mrx 4y ago
Maybe the addresses wouldn't look so scary if you formatted them correctly. For example: d0ff:eefa:10::faff:92:0 (though there are currently no addresses in use that start with d.) Vanity IPv4 addresses like 8.8.8.8 exist because most

fd::1 is a reserved address. Did you mean fd00::1?

You can generate sqrt(2^64) random suffixes before the probability of collision becomes significant. That number is in the billions for a single /64 network. In other words, no.
