  • Fun coincidence that I was working on making a graph (network) of the relationships between different units yesterday. Here is how it looks in a circle, yellow dots are lengths, mass red and time blue.

    It’s not perfect on the phone, but here is the link, press the “Refresh All” button to load the network and run the code.

    Context: I’m writing a programming language to analyze graphs, so I thought “units are graph relationships, let me see what I can do”. It was fun, but also funny because so many relationships are not simple factor multiplications. The network was extracted from the data gnu units uses, but I did it halfhazardly, so it’s not perfect.

    You can play around with the code if you wanna try your own things, there’s user documentation and more examples. The actual network can be viewed using the buttons on the left of the editor.









  • Water is wayyy stronger than air. They were not made for electricity but they had a lot of mechanical forces. Honestly in remote places in mountainous regions, I’ve seen small hydropower projects with turbines the size of water mills power a whole village. Of course they only use it for lights, charging phones and batteries. But it’s good enough compared to the alternative (no electricity)





  • In that case wouldn’t we just make local networks with our family, and then maybe neighbors. Just have a network that’s not connected to the Internet but still connected to each other. I think we’d just have couple of programming tools, make things, and still use computers, but just the way it was in the beginning, and with everyone making their own things.

    Maybe there’d be people using long distance communication protocols to make something that is not the current Internet. Unless that becomes illegal. But can radio waves be illegal? We just need to transmit data somehow



  • In case of steak, I don’t like raw meat, if I see pinkness in meat it feels raw and disgusting. And when well cooked it’s hard. I like my red meat cooked in a pressure cooker so it’s fully cooked and soft. Same with raw fish or any other food with raw meats.

    For other foods, variety of reasons. I don’t like some foods because growing up in a farm I always saw certain bugs in some plants so I have associated that plant’s smell to that bug.

    Some foods I don’t like texture, some I don’t like the taste enough that I feel like I’ll vomit. Some foods I don’t like but I can eat.

    And some food I just got used to eating a certain way. I absolutely don’t like raw or not well cooked beans or zucchini because it feels wrong. While some food I grew up eating raw so cooked version feels wrong like carrots


  • Ostracizing used to work because we needed community. Now they will just go on the Internet and find hundreds if not thousands pro approve what they’re doing.

    And whatever the “village” did for a person can be bought with money. And people don’t really do free work for you anyway, maybe your immediate family but that’s about it. So people are more and more individualistic.
