I can appreciate that. Electric solutions do allow for a high level of commonality, however, which can simplify the whole system freeing up maintainance time for other endeavors.
The current ideal is solar/battery/inverter/heat-pump. That reduces maintenance nearly to keeping the panels clean and at my latitude it almost makes sense to mount vertically anyway. (Solar fence anyone)
The problem is that I can't produce my own new parts or even aquire them locally. Panels are pretty cheap though so stock-piling is an option.
What is the benefit of a zero electricity system? Are you concerned about EMFs or do you want a tech stack that doesn't require spares you couldn't convieva ly produce yourself?
No, it wouldn't. You'd need a compressor to make it hot enough to be effective with presumably small surface area of your pipes. I was just curious if compromises could by made to make it two way.
I haven't ever looked into it, but I often wonder how many w/m^2 the ground can absorb in steady state. Almost every system I have seen was under-sized, because eventually the volume of earth your pipes are running through is overwhelmed by the lack of flux into the surrounding environment. At least I think that was the problem. The may have also just skimped on the heat pump.
Does your solar concentrator double as a nighttime radiator in the summer or is this a silo for source, ground for sink?
I definitely take you more seriously with green computation pad. I just use my reMarkable 2 with the grid template. I got tired of forgetting where my notes were.
We probably need to try both. There are lots of decisions to make on what your client displays in order to rectify the appearance of shouting into the void whenever someone you are talking to also talks to someone on a relay you aren't polling. Do that third parties previous posts get retro-actively added to your view of the thread messing up your history? Do your friends replies to accounts you don't see get hidden so you don't get confused? How does the client know who they are replying to anyway? AI classifier?
If you have instancing on one relay is there moderation? If not how do you handle spam?
Man I wish I had more time to code.
I waffle back and forth on whether they should be network wide topic tag based or instance based where the initial message declares the relay used and everything after is just signed webrtc. The first is more resilient and open but suffers from confusing coherence. "Who are you talking to?!"
Are we nostr_bb yet? Most online communication has siloed into Twitter like, Slack like, or Reddit like. But the OG forums and irc models are still super useful bookend of the spectrum.
I'll get there. I am growing it organically. If I see someone making interesting replies I'll check their feed to see if their own notes are also interesting then add. Or I look through other people's follow lists to find a couple to add. I am trying to keep it high quality. Hard to go wrong mostly following people who work on active projects.
It isn't a complaint. It is an observation. Before you it was nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f but he has simmered down a bit.
I wonder what pushes it away from Price's law. Do forums have similar ratios?
Price's law states that half your output will be generated by the square root of your total workers. I follow 40 accounts. I would expect half the notes in my feed to come from 6 accounts. Instead 70% are from 1 account. Do I need to encourage everyone else to post more or does nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl need an intervention?
I kid of course, she does have interesting things to say, but it makes me reflect on how I post. I generally only respond. It isn't because I don't think about things, I do constantly, but it never crosses my mind to post what I am thinking unless it is already a topic of discussion.
I am grateful for accounts that break the ice on topics that I have thought deeply on but never considered sharing unprompted. How do people make the decision what to impose on their followers? Presumably people follow me to hear what I have to say, but I rarely consider my take worthy of the cold open of a top-level note.
No. I am interested in the supernote, but I actually like the no apps approach remarkable takes. I was part of an experiment with giving students a laptop in college for linear algebra. I nearly failed that class as a result. Technology generally gets in the way of education. Not to say kids shouldn't learn tech, I am a programmer after all, but most of the time it needs to stay out of the way.
My main reason for not taking him seriously was that he constantly described the current theories using language that demonstrated that not only did he not understand the theories he was proposing an alternative to, he didn't even know the meaning of the words he was using to describe it.
I am very happy to entertain alternatives but it was all too clear that he didn't actually have alternate ideas, he just had misfiring synapses chosing words nearly at random. Not completely random, the words generally had a similar sound to the one he probably actually wanted. I just hope that he is ok.
I hope you can duplicate the remarkable experience and improve on it in several key ways. I have 4 in the house for homeschooling. They are terrific because it is basically just a slate like the old days. A slate with a memory. No distractions for the kids, not figuring out software, just writing and learning.
Where remarkable falls down is that I can't easily transfer their work to mine for correction. Fix that without losing the simplicity and I'll take the hit to spring for a batch. Allow me to collaborate/grade peer to peer with no subscription and we'll be friends for life.
So. Curious why you want anyone watching the Terrance Howard Episode. I watched 5 minutes of it days ago and I am only now regaining my ability to add double digit numbers.
