It’s all fun and games when we use pocket dimensions to store data.

Until you consider the poor beings in the entire universe that will be wiped out by the vacuum decay left when we read the qubits used for the storage.

It’s like how the earth bulges out at the equator.

The momentum pulls them out, gravity pulls it back. Similar thing at the solar and galactic planes.

They “bulge” relatively to the spin of the material over time and the clumps of material then forms planets along that general plane.

From the aboves video you can see this at 44seconds

And a relevant PBS Spacetime video

But the biggest reason is the way gasses form in space. As noted in the above video at the 8:45 mark. Gasses aren’t able to fall back into the center along their axis of spin because of their momentum. But the gassed above and below the plane can move towards the gathering material there by gravity and so it flattens out.

Or a LAN. Could do a WAN which itself can be interconnected over a wide area. Usually by routing over the internet but you could use something like satellite uplink or miles of dedicated cables.

But the interconnection of multiple LANS and WANS is what would make an “internet”.

So maybe 2 universities joining their own networks would be moving towards a private “internet” but I think we’d still call that a private network or a WAN.

It’s interesting to consider where the definitions change.

Air only has so much resistance itself. High enough voltage and the closest path to ground is where the charge will go.

Just like with Lightning

A great channel for topics like this.

This video goes into the expansion of spacetime as well as cover how internally those forces don’t affect local spacetime because of the mass/spacetime curvature.

Space DOES NOT Expand Everywhere

Although I have to agree with the top comment regarding this being my favorite channel I don’t understand. But the more I watch it the more I start to get a sense of a lot of it and I actually am understanding some of it

And yeah, we don’t know what, if there’s anything, it’s expanding into.

Oh no. They published Outer Wilds, Stray and alot of other great titles.

It’s sad to see this happen to another publisher and I worry about what happens to such great IP’s going forward.

It’s designed to make sure that the contact point with the back plate is reinforced.

That’s the point you don’t want to have fatigue or stress during shipping, etc since it breaking off there when it’s plugged into your wall would be a pain.

I suspect it’s mainly there for the shipment from the cord manufacturer to the company that made the product and there’s little benefit in removing it on their end when they can then ship it, cover and all, to their end consumer.

What’s that noise? I’m sure I heard something.

I think you misunderstand.

Here’s an example. It has the math but doesn’t require that you “know” how to work the formulas or equations.

Because he’s doesn’t require that you know the math. He shows it, explains it, and visualizes the concept.

Quantum Mechanics 1b - Birth of the Quantum II

I can’t remember which video it was but in one he explains about how Einstein was shown that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle was related to relativity in a series of letters. At which point Einstein conceded the point.

All this was done showing the equation… and then shifting the pieces around and explaining what they were. Until at the end what was left… was e=mc^2.

Edit: It was this video but I misremembered. It uses Einsteins equations to prove the uncertainty principle

Quantum Mechanics 3b - Probability and Uncertainty II

My point isn’t that the math isn’t there. It’s just that you’re not dropped into a video with here’s a formula… solve it and you’ll see why XYZ is true. The equations themselves are explained, visualized, etc.

If there’s a concept such as bell curves he shows that without requiring you do the numbers by showing how random motion will lead to certain probabilities over others.

Check this out

Quantum Mechanics 1a - Birth of the Quantum I

And then compare to this next episode in the series

Quantum Mechanics 1b - Birth of the Quantum II

And this later one. Where he gets more and more into the mathematics. But you’re not just thrown into the deepend at the start

Quantum Mechanics 5a - Schrödinger Equation I

It’s not at all. I’m saying it was good then and it is now.

It’s gotten heavier and more technical but that’s because as it goes on you learn and it gets deeper. And yet they still find a way to make it accessible even though they’re obviously still only scratching the surface.

As a counter point via science is really good but tries to avoid the deep math as much as possible while explaining the concepts behind it. All the while it’s been pure science and less of the popular topic as a way to introduce the science.

It’s still fantastic. But the tone was different.

They pulled us in with the quirky, and tricked us into learning about space time curvature, spin, Higgs fields and tensors.

The sly dogs.

And if it’s not loud enough put it in a small metal pan or bowl, and place that inside a partially opened dresser drawer. Amplifies it quite a bit in addition to your suggestion to physically get up to turn it off.

Cat: this is a nice place and I like you. I want to make sure you’re eating.

Here, take this

What a mess… sounds like the devs got burned by various Unicode edge cases RTL, etc

Oof. That sounds horrible

Is it because of the lower case Latin æ since it’s technically one character even if two bytes?

Sounds like it’s actually using XSLT or some kind of content validation. Which to be honest sounds like a good practice.

It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.

Does make it easier to isolate vocals I guess
