- Comment on StarCraft-Inspired RTS From Former Blizzard Devs Losing Online Multiplayer Because Server Partner Was Bought By AI Company - Aftermath (Nathan Grayson) 3 days ago:
There are 2 reasons for dedicated servers, matchmaking and refereeing. Both those functions can be archived by community servers, but need to exists. If you don’t have matchmaking you need to find opponents for each game by yourself.
If you have no referee, the player hosting the match can easily mod their game to have a god mode. - Comment on Turbine go brrrr 3 days ago:

But that’s part of the bootstrapping process. The same way you need power to run the crucibles in a PV factory or to lift the wind turbine part by crane.

That’s just resistor-diode logic with a 555 instead of a transistor. That means the timer only does buffering/inverting but not the actual computation.

The first half of my comment is the one that matters, the second half is a sleep deprived Wikipedia binge.
The units are kg rounded to the next power if 10. The numbers come from reverse engineering the article and Wikipedia. Sagittarius A* was a the first black hole I could think of. The scale was between mass of electron (like in the article) and mass of an atom (relevant to the post).
“Mass of electron cloud equivalent to black hole” what electron cloud?
An imaginary cloud of electrons similar to the one in the what-if. One that has the energy equivalent of the mass of a black hole. Due to the reduced charge density there would be less energy and therefore black holes, but I am convinced that a lot of objects would collapse.

In the example in from that what if, they are putting a universe’s worth of mass in the volume of the moon, so it would create a super massive singularity. That’s not what is happening in here.
Not quite, xkcd put a moons worth (by mass) of electrons together, so if we add an electron to each atom we go down four to five orders of magnitude.
The black hole came about, because the electric charge creates a electric field in which the electrons have a potential energy that by E=mc^2 is equal to the mass of the universe. If we apply our scaling factor we still end up with black holes everywhere.Lets play with those numbers:
Scale factor between Sagittarius A* and the observable universe 10^37 / 10^53 = 10^-16
Mass of Moon 10^23
Mass of electron cloud equivalent to black hole 10^23 * 10^-16 = 10^13
mass of electron added object equivalent to black hole 10^13 * 10^5 = 10^18
That means adding an electron to each atom is enough to rival the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. Even if I miscalculated by many orders of magnitude, at least each planet collapses into one. - Comment on No More Neutral ⚛ 5 weeks ago:

Not quite the the same scale, but a similar idea is explored by Randall Moore. He explores a lot of weird questions like this and regularly consults scientists. - Comment on No More Neutral ⚛ 5 weeks ago:

this has nothing to do with cancer.
Not directly, but this is furthering the state of the art in organelles, a tool that allows scientists to experiment on the exact tissue they are interested in, not just a animal substitute. That’s why it’s foundational research, as opposed to applying those findings to research a intervention for a specific cancer.
Do you not question why Epstein was funneling billions of dollars into various scientific organizations intent on researching neuroscience?
I don’t give a fuck if the pedo had delusions about neuroscience creating deaging, mindcontroll or whatever you are implying here.
Or maybe you are already one of the golems.
Now your just chucking out antisemitic dog whistles. And by that I mean actually antisemitism, not antizionism, so fuck of!

People know, it’s just to much work to get rid of them permanently.
Guess I will stick to uprooting the ones I can pull out in the woods and cutting along fences where they hang over.

Everybody wants science to cure cancer, but the moment someone does foundational research they lose their fuckin minds.
Guys, the alternative is cutting up mice and pigs. - Comment on HAIL HYDRA! 1 month ago:
Robinia are taking over unmaintained areas like construction grounds and the edge of the forrest. Some in the forest are full size.

Did you pay tariffs directly? No.
A company payed them and passed the cost to you, so the company will get the refund and keep it.Also, don’t even think that prices are going back to pre tarif levels.

That’s not my main point as I don’t think the heat capacity of food is so important over the long term.
I mean, that the inevitable inefficiency of the fridge in a closed system, is no different, that any other device consuming the same amount of energy, as it all ends as waste heat.
- Comment on bit rude, innit? 1 month ago:
An indoor refrigerator in the winter is essentially a resistive heater. It’s not nearly as good as a heat pump, but may be better for the environment that burning gas, depending on the local electricity mix.

And since it’s a function with one argument we can interpret the exponent to mean repeated application.
xm³=x(1 meter)(1 meter)(1 meter)
xm³=x(1 meter)³
It all checks out. - Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 1 month ago:
