It actually has 3 separate masts, which I didn't previously realise.

I don't know much about solar sails - or real ship sails, for that matter, so does anyone know why it would?

I would additionally argue that any project that is too complicated to work on with just a text editor has failed organisationally.

uspol, Sri Lanka; societal collapse; Medium link 

@miramarco people have been crowing about America's demise since it's earliest years. If you want me to believe that 'society has collapsed', then tell me how it happens: get to the details and define, point by point, what people, institutions, and attitudes must change and how, then prove that they have *at scale*. The author vaguely references your "feeling" about the world around you, as if that's sufficient evidence. It's a rhetorical trick. We have been wounded as a nation, but we are learning and building. We're only lost when we give up on the American experiment and share defeatist BS like that article unchallenged.

@freemo you never said we're talking interstellar. are you assuming that any other intelligent life would have been observed by us by now?

@freemo whale-like species in a world ocean communicating through low frequency vibrations. planetary network of intelligent plants communicating by RNA-coded messages through their roots.

anyway, maybe there's no need for long distance communication for ET: they all live in a small enough region of their planet that they don't need long-range

@freemo why do you assume an intelligent species that we could detect communicates with radio waves? since we don't know how prevalent complex life is, any conclusion like that is B.S., isn't it?

@freemo there are alternatives: ET occupies a world in which EM radiation never developed as a useful means of communication, hence no observables. low natural birth rate + lack of interspecies competition + strong cooperative biases make ET less violent (IOW space bononos)

Help! From anyone interested in English, Physics, Math, or Science.

I have written a rather massive article in the hopes of teaching people with mid-level knowledge in electronics about the idea of Duals in mathematics, how that applies to circuits and the various types of circuit duals that exist

I also include a great deal of detail in the end about one very obscure and rarely studied circuit dual called the magnetic circuit dual, it is a circuit, like a magnetic circuit, but instead of current being the flow of electrons, it is the flow of a magnetic field through wires made of iron instead of copper.

I even touch on briefly how one can extract energy from permanent magnets and other details most people arent very familiar with.

The problem is the article is massive and I really could use some eyes on it. Whether its just to try to help me catch english mistakes, or if your not that experienced perhaps tell me the parts that are confusing, as I would like this to be accessible to people who may not be scientists and only know entry level electronics or science. any feedback from anyone at any level would be highly appreciated.

Keep in mind I couldn't find many good sources laying out the equations for magnetic circuits very clearly so I had to derive a lot of the equations myself, though the concept is well established as fact and many peer-reviewed papers have been written on it. But bear in mind there may be minor errors in my math as well, so that too needs some criticism, though the math should be fairly close to correct.

Anyway any input from anyone would be much appreciated.

The draft of the article can be found on the beta site for my blog, here is a direct link:

Similarly if you find any mistakes you can message me here, or you can leave a merge request on the repo for the article, here is the direct link to the markdown file in the source for my blog:

git.qoto.org/freemo/freemo-sit

It is much prefered that if you have specific edits like english or math you do it as a pull request as it can be a huge pain for me to hunt down the specific part of the text you are referring to if you point out mistakes as replies here. However if your unwilling to do a merge request please still ping me here as I'd rather know than to just let it go unnoticed.

Anyone who helps I will add a thank you with your name and a link to your own site at the bottom of the article if you wish, this might help draw some traffic to your own site.

if Google actually cared about Android users, they'd probably have more straight-forward network file system support.

@ckeen hmm. maybe good. Is it really that difficult to pick it up in extra-curricular or on the job training?

Friends are coming over for (distant) bday fun but I've pushed a bunch of updates to the #Spritely site: spritelyproject.org/

Only two subsystems left to describe...!

fun fact: if you present Google lens text reader with Japanese and English text together, it'll read the English text in a *heavy* Japanese accent
