• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China turns on giant neutrino detector that took a decade to build⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here are some neat neutrino facts:

  • Neutrinos are incredibly difficult to detect.
  • There are many neutrino sources, although supernovae may be the most prevalent with 99% of energy released as neutrinos vs 1% as visible light.
  • Our sun radiates about 2% of its energy as neutrinos.
  • They travel at the speed of light and rarely interact with normal matter. So rarely, in fact, that 99.99% of neutrinos would pass through a 10km-thick slab of lead.
  • Most neutrinos pass through the entire earth without hitting a thing.
  • 10^21^ nuetrinos pass through each 1" x 1" area of your body per second and, on average, you have a 25% lifetime chance of interaction with a neutrino particle.

  Who knows what will be discovered!

  reticulum.network I was looking at this the other day. It looks like there is potential to support more than just a message layer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do LLM modelers maintain a list of manual corrections fed by humans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More people need to understand that this is how LLMs function. There is too much belief that these algorithms are actually thinking and reasoning.

  It’s accurate though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First video of an earthquake fault cracking has revealed another surprise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2.5 meters (8.5 feet)! Not only that, watch further in the distance past the posts and the potted plant: As the rupture progresses, the entire surface dips slightly and then rises in an almost whip-like fashion.

  Crazy to consider: What if you were, within 1.3 seconds, moved 2.5 meters to your left right now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unexpected use of FR2 of the week: Phenolic gears⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I replaced the original gears for my pools in-ground cleaning system with 3d-printed versions and they lasted several seasons. I had originally intended to simply keep the system running while I waited for replacement parts to arrive.

  This is my hobby, too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite 1000+ hour games?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Factorio. It’s the game I always come back to, and I’m always ready to spend 5 minutes playing here and there now that it works so well on steam deck.
