Cool, thanks for sharing this
What are you learning today? I’m studying LLMs although I don’t have a lot of computer science knowledge (yet).
Once you have zaps, a cool app for content and communication, that’s already all we need. Coming on here trying to shill wouldn’t work. All that can thrive on nostr is information or entertainment that people really value.
I love the idea of making things in government as transparent as possible. All that leads to voting or other decisions based on facts that can be verified by everyone.
A little bit. I guess it’s largely a matter of pressure and filling gaps. Kind of like, how water automatically fills the space it is poured into?
Did a little check with AI 🤖
You're on the right track with the concept of pressure influencing wind movement. Here's a bit more detail:
**Wind Movement Basics:**
- **Pressure Gradient:** Wind moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This is similar to how water flows from higher to lower levels. When there's a difference in pressure (a pressure gradient), air moves to equalize this difference.
- **Temperature and Pressure:** Temperature affects pressure. Warm air rises because it's less dense, creating an area of lower pressure at the surface where it was. Cooler, denser air then moves in to replace it, leading to wind.
- **Coriolis Effect:** On a larger scale, like across continents or oceans, the Earth's rotation influences wind direction through the Coriolis effect. This effect makes wind seem to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
- **Friction:** Near the Earth's surface, friction from the land or sea slows wind and affects its direction. Over the ocean, where there's less friction, winds can be stronger and more consistent.
- **Topography:** Mountains, valleys, and other landforms can channel or block wind, creating local wind patterns. For example, wind might speed up as it's forced through a narrow pass.
Your analogy of water filling space is quite apt for understanding how air moves to fill pressure differences. However, unlike water, air is also influenced by temperature changes and the Earth's rotation, adding layers of complexity to wind patterns.
So, to sum up:
- Pressure differences are the primary driver, similar to water flow.
- Temperature changes create these pressure differences.
- Earth's rotation and local geography further shape wind patterns.
You've got a good foundation; these additional points just flesh out the mechanics a bit more.

Nice survey. It was a pleasure to complete. The interface was quick and easy. Good luck with the research project!
This would be a great thing, but I imagine it’s a big challenge.
Watch lovers love CASIO 👍
I have no experience in coding, but this could help me create my own app, right? That’s exciting!
I have a feeling it will 😁 thanks to everyone’s hard work. I am grateful 🙏
Everyone has a few regrets, and being optimistic keeps you moving.
Looking forward to it!
Hey #nostr here’s a quick clip of the #music I do. I’m playing the #cajon (box) and my friend is playing the #handpan (UFO). I hope you like this vibe for your weekend.
