Folks making alternatives: don’t recreate the systems of closed, centralised silos. They’re designed with the needs and success criteria of closed, centralised organisations. You cannot compete with them on their own terms. They have the resources to create centralised workflows, you do not. And your success criteria are the opposite of theirs. You do not want to centralise information, power, and wealth. Think about where your strengths lie and design from first principles according to those.
only when the last free man is dead will we realise we can't eat calling other people retards
2027: I may be in a gulag, but at least we showed those anti vaxxers the importance of conformity
@11112011 all you need to innovate is 6% of the population wiped out with some sort of pandemic

Reading Chesterton after having been stuck with other writers for a length of time is always very much like returning to one's best friend: “Most sensible people say that adults cannot be expected to appreciate Christmas as much as children appreciate it...”

“Christmas remains to remind us of those ages, whether Pagan or Christian, when the many acted poetry instead of the few writing it. In all the winter in our woods there is no tree in glow but the holly.”
— Heretics, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1905

Would be *delighted* to talk about computers, science, and computer science with anyone. (Sure beats a re-run of the "spam is free speech" argument.)
@freemo @notresz @p yup you're right, although he looks pretty sharp himself.
intended to hit up @p@freespeechextremist.com

🇳🇱
@freemo will do, I'll send a few snaps once I've got something decent together
@freemo decided to get the soldering iron you recommended and cheap(ish) multimeter btw, reckon that'll do me for now
thanks again for the advice!
@freemo thanks for sparing me the humiliation of having to ask for these links again haha

So two weeks working on this article about Circuit Duals and Magnetic Circuits and it is finally finished and published! Check it out!
Its about mathematical duals and how they relate to electric circuits. I cover several common circuits as duals and how to calculate duals. Bu I also describe a rarely known type of circuit dual called a magnetic circuit that uses the magnetic field instead of an electric field to do all the things an electric circuit can do and explain magnetic inductors and capacitors. It's pretty cool stuff, I even touch on how you can extract energy from the magnetic field of a permanent magnet to power a magnetic circuit (or an electric circuit for that matter.

For those of you who enjoyed my recent blog post on Circuit Duals and Magnetic Circuits I have now compiled a version of it in PDF if you want to keep a local copy or have it for reading on on an e-reader. Feel free to distribute the link.

For those of you who are just now hearing about it the article describes the idea of Duality in math, how it applies to circuits, how to calculate duals for systems of equations, and a few examples of circuit duals. It also goes indepth on magnetic circuits as a dual of electric circuits. There is an interesting blurb at the end about how to extract energy from permanent magnets as well.
If you prefer the more colorful blog link instead, which will also be the only place I make corrections or update it most likely, the link for that is as follows:

@notresz @freemo runs qoto.org has always given helpful and useful information with his broad range of interests
@p is also a very cool guy, runs FSE and, from my naive understanding, clued up in all things opsec and computing
they might not like being mentioned in the same breath but they're "big nodes" in fedi imo
Also worth checking out bitcoinhackers.org and others on qoto.org
strong shitposting/memework on FSE but I wouldn't expect tech insights from the majority there ;)
treat yourself to some good news this morning

Anyone know good science or tech related accounts to follow on the fediverse? Looking for good follows, any other recommendations are welcome also #fediverse #biotech #science #mastodon #bitcoin

feeling a heaviness, shit's getting heavy
maybe it's just market vol, but also feels like some spiritual vol that's starting to bubble up too
