i'm currently reading this article about lemurs: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemuren

(it's in german, english equivalent would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemur )

and so i learned that smaller individuals tend to be active in the night, while larger individuals tend to be active in the daytime? can that be generalized to humans too? how many of you are small and night-active?

ist denke ich selbsterklärend.

there's more, ofc, on other parts of the map:

The Lindy effect (also known as Lindy's law[1]) is a theorized phenomenon by which the future life expectancy of some non-perishable thing, like a technology or an idea, is proportional to its current age. Thus, the Lindy effect proposes the longer a period something has survived to exist or be used in the present, the longer its remaining life expectancy. Longevity implies a resistance to change, obsolescence, or competition, and greater odds of continued existence into the future.[2] Where the Lindy effect applies, mortality rate decreases with time. Mathematically, the Lindy effect corresponds to lifetimes following a Pareto probability distribution.

When you post on reddit, instagram etc. you're giving the company your valuable data. (And it often is valuable, you put your thoughts into it and all that). Consider if you take 15 minutes to create value content, you'd get paid $5 or sth if you were doing it commercially. Now all that value is donated to big tech companies. (that's the only reason why they have value at all.)

So what's the problem with that? The problem is that reddit and others can instantaneously put your years-long effort behind a paywall. I'm not joking. Look at these:

when i want to see content on reddit (for research) or instagram (for local community) they don't allow me to see the data that users have contributed. Reddit claims that it blocks VPNs for "security reasons", meanwhile i'm using VPNs in browser's incognito mode to not be tracked. Instagram wants you to sign in sothat they amass more users and can take leverage of the network effect even more.

I can understand restricting who can post to limit bot activity, but reading must always be possible. After all, it's our data. That's exactly what happens when you give your data to big companies to "communicate with other people": your data becomes a source of income for them, at our expense.

i.e. did nick name people or did people call nick nick?

Sorry to bother you with this again. I have posted about this 2 times in the last 6 months already, because it is a fascinating topic and i want to talk about it. The issue is, whether there is renewable energy in the universe (truly renewable). Solar energy is called "renewable" but ultimately the sun will burn out. What then?

I have last time gotten the answers that "it's a stupid question because we have more urgent problems, such as corrupt politics etc.". Frankly, i disagree. This question is of existential importance, because it gives us an outlook into the far future. These perspectives are more valuable than playing 15 minutes of a computer game, which you could do instead of reading this article.

I uploaded a neat PDF here: https://files.catbox.moe/p8tg6i.pdf

Additionally i will copy-paste the article text here.

Spider Web Cosmology

From: https://feddit.org/u/gandalf_der_12te

Subject: Renewable energy in a cosmological context

Abstract

In this paper i present a simple and clear approach to extract useful energy out of the cosmic expansion using mithril material wires, i.e. wires with very high Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. This energy is renewable, such that it represents a continuous and probably eternal power source.

Introduction and Motivation

The industrial revolution has allowed for a significant growth of humanity. While global population numbers were around 300 million around 1000 CE, it scaled to almost 8 billion by 2000 CE. That is an almost 30-fold increase. This was made possible largely by two inventions: the combustion-engine driven tractor and the natural-gas-based ammonia synthesis. Both consume massive amounts of energy, which mostly came from fossil fuels, which are not renewable. This naturally raises the question of whether humanity will ever run out of energy, which would induce a reversal of this massive growth, i.e. a significant population shrinkage. Related to this is the problem of climate change, i.e. whether there exists a long-lasting energy source that does not poison our own living conditions that we rely on.

Ever since solar energy started around 2020 to become economically competitive, many people have felt deep relief from the anxiety around climate change and the threat that humanity would eventually run out of fuel. However, the sun is predicted to burn out in approximately 10 billion years, and then humanity will have to find a new source of energy. While other stars do exist, those too will eventually run out of energy, with the slowest- burning stars (red dwarf stars) predicted to last for approximately 1000 billion years. Slower-burning stars do not practically exist as they would not be massive enough to ignite nuclear fusion in the first place.

What other sources of energy are there in cosmology? Especially, do sources exist that do not run out after a while, i.e. that are truly renewable?

Scope and Context

This paper uses the insights from general relativity, especially cosmic expansion, and simple mechanics to present a mechanism for renewable power in cosmology. While quantum aspects, such as vacuum energy, are highly interesting and might slightly change the reality, they’re left out of this analysis and regarded as an extra feature of nature that will have to be stacked on top of this one.

Mechanism

The term „spider web cosmology“ is justified if one visualizes the core concepts of this proposal:

An array of wires made from a very thin (lightweight) material called „Mithril“ are laid out throughout the universe, which have extremely high elasticity (Young's modulus), which means they exert force when stretched without significantly changing length.

Living organisms reside at the intersection points. As the intersection points are pulled away from each other over time, the wires between them will be stretched. The force that each wire exerts can then be calculated from Hooke’s law: F=σ⋅A=E⋅ε⋅A , with F being force, σ being stress, E being Young's modulus, ε being axial strain, A being cross-section area.

The mithril wires are chains of small link elements. As the living organisms at the intersection point let the wires contract from time to time, while generating power from that contraction, new link elements are produced and attached to the wire.

The mithril wires have to be produced from new matter that gets produced from a matter-anti-matter pair, that gets produced from the energy harvested from the chain relaxation. In other words, the chain has to release more energy when it relaxes than the rest mass of the mithril chain links.

This is why this mithril material has to be extremely lightweight while still having high Young’s modulus and high ultimate tensile strength. Practically speaking, I’m not entirely sure whether such a material could exist. Using simplifications and a linear model of elasticity, common steel does not have good enough properties for this application.

I will proof this in the following calculation. For this, we have to look at the rest mass of a steel chain link and the energy that can be released when the chain is relaxed by the length of one link element. Let x be the length of one link element.

The work W1 released by the chain is W 1=F⋅x=E⋅ε⋅A⋅x , while the rest mass (rest energy W2) of one chain link is W 2= ρ⋅A⋅x with density ρ, therefore for W1 to be larger than W2 one gets the relation E⋅ε > ρ. Comparing this to the actual values for steel:

• E is around 200 GPa (2·10¹¹ J/m³)
• ρ is around 8 000 kg/m³, equivalent to a rest energy of around 8·10²⁰ J/m³

Therefore, ε would have to be larger than 4·10⁹, i.e. the steel wire would have to stretch to 4 billion times its usual length. However, commercially available steel used in construction typically breaks apart for ε > 3·10⁻³ (Source: Wikipedia). These steel wires would have to have a factor 10¹² higher ultimate tensile strength!!

The judgement is still out on whether a good enough mithril material could hypothetically exist.

self-made. pls be nice :)

more thoughts on habitat construction. i want to make animations about this too but people voted against AI image generation (which would be the easy route) so i would have to draw it all by hand which is a chore and i can't motivate myself to do it yet.

so anyways, if you want to build a house that can hold a minimum of 200 mbar of oxygen inside, that's quite a lot of pressure. it's like you're trying to build an in-door swimming pool on earth, but not on ground level. so you have 2 m of water in a big bucket that has to be held up entirely by steel. the pressure is the same. 2 m of water on earth has 2000 kg /m² · 10 N/kg = 20 kPa. meanwhile 200 mbar oxygen gas = 20 kPa.

Heute war ich in Zug (DB).

Es ist da was passiert, Geschichten die das Leben so schreibt. Sowas kann man sich nicht ausdenkeng.

1 alter Oma fuhr mit mir in ICE Zug DB von München nach Dresden, weiss selber nicht wie man darauf kommt durchzufahren, da ich Nürnberg raus wollte von noch in Bayern bleiben her. (Ich überkwere die Freiststaatsgrenzen nur selten, bin auch nicht geimpft etc). Vielleicht wollte sie dort Verwandte besuchen und bei Flucht helfen in Westen? KP aber es geht mir auch nicht an. Wie wir da so fuhren, kommt 1 Schaffner im Sinne von Kontrolle. Jeder packt Smartphone aus, 1 connected Laptop mit Schaffnerkontrollgerät von Netzwerk her ich zeige mein Smartwatch (Appel) für QR Code zum scannen. Omer sieht man schon an dass sie normales Papierfahrkarte hat, alle in Abteil sind schon am sie auslolen weil so rückschrittlich, passt einfach nicht mehr in die Zeit denken die wahrscheinlich. Ja und bissl recht haben ja auch.

Aber langer Rede gar kein Sinn, es stellt sich raus die Omer hat auch noch 1 Ticket sich gekauft dass nicht im ICE Zug giltet. Dies hätte sie im Internet nachlesen können, aber das hat sie nicht weil es ist zu teuer und den VHS Kurs wo es erklert wird hat nicht leisten können. Da sind die Enkel gefragt meiner Meinung nach aber hilft jetzt auch nix mehr. Der Schaffner besteht auf seim Geld, das die alte Frau zahlen muss in Sinne von Schwarzfahren her es sind 120 Euro. Sie hätte nur fahren dürfen in Regionalbahn wo es 5 Tage dauert bis man Augsburg ist lol (von Münchem aus wohlgemerkt). Die Frau sagt hat kein Geld und sie muss vom Rente leben von ihrem verstirbten Mann und es ist wenig. Aber der Jockel von Schaffner lässt sie nicht erweichen. Er bleibt hart. Alle schauen verlegen auf ihrem Handy oder lesen Börsenkürse. Ich stehe auf und erhebe Wort. "Hör mal zu du Überjochen, die Frau fährt ja wohl jetzt unsonst, sonst haben wir hier rukizuki Rambazamber und es gibt 1 Bombe" sage ich den Schnauzbartträger im Gesicht. Es wird noch leiser in Abteil, was gar nicht möglich ist weil ja vorher schon so leise war. Er sagt kann er nicht machen wegen Privatisierung von Bahn früher schon da hätte es Steuerzahler gezahlt aber jetzt nicht und ihm sind auch die Finger gebunden. Ich erwiedere: "Schau mal her du Lauchkönig, ich zahl jetzt die Hälfte von dem Schwarzfahren aber dann ist auch gut, den Rest zahlt die DB der Knechtzirkus" Jetzt stehen Leute auf und wollen Schlegerei anfangen von sozialer Ungerechtigkeit her. Sie sind entzürnt weil die Bahn so 1 Geldverein ist. Einer rollt das DB Kundenmagazin gans fest zusammen, für dass er ordentlich zubatschen kann. Der Schaffner ist in der Unterzahl (logisch). Allgemeine Berlinstimmung jetzt in Abteil, Kaffeebecher und Kundenmagazine fliegen durch die Luft (Rigaerstrasse artig)

Die Omer ist das peinlich, sie möchte das nicht das soviel Trurbel um sie gemacht wird. Ich sage "Fresse jetzt Hexengesicht, es ist 1 Sache von Ehre jetzt. Dem Opferkönig sein Zahnbürschte greift morgen ins Leere wenn es jetzt weitergeht und ich aufdrehe von Fausttanz her" Gegröhle in Wagen. 1 mitreissender Arzt hat sein Koffer aufgemacht und 1 Flasche Chlorerform hervorgeholt für dass Betäubung da wäre wenn man bräuchte in Kampfgetümmel.

Jetzt gibt der Schaffner klein bei. Er sagt es passt so und er würde Omer nicht mehr belestigen. Ich gebe ihm noch die 60€ und klatsche ihm auf die Stirn wie man das mit schlechter Schüler macht. Unter hemischen Rufen wie "Du Protojockel!" und "Hau ab du Vollgasotto!" verlesst er das Abteil. Die Omer dankt allem und sätzt sich verlegen hin. Es war viel für sie. Von Aufregung her.

Die Leute wollen jetzt auch mir Geld zustecken weil sie Aktion gut fanden glaub ich. Ein modischer Gescheftsmann aus Bad Tölz steckt mir beileufig 1 Hunni zu und meint verschmitzt "Ich kann mir gönnen ich hab 1 Startup von veganer Käse es boomt" An Ende habe ich 460 Euro plus. Da sieht man dass es sich auszahlt wenn man Solidarität und Zivilcourtage zeigt. Alleine sind wir schwach, gemeinsam sind wir mehrer! #zivilcourtage #alleinesindwirschwach #ottohaftigkeitabschaffen

vor jahren gab es hier im deutschsprachigen raum schon diskussionen darüber wie schlecht die arbeitsbedingungen im pflegebereich sind. lange stunden, niedrige bezahlung etc.

ein grund warum die arbeitsbedingungen schlecht sind ist weil diese leute nicht demonstrieren, weil sonst würde gleich immer was schlimmes passieren wenn die arbeit für ein paar stunden nicht gemacht wird. deshalb ist es umso wichtiger dass wir an ihrer stelle demonstrieren.
