@Mookafish They only need to reach lunar orbit velocity (1,600m/s) then they can slowly raise their orbit using ion propulsion Also the satellites can be designed to withstand higher Gs (possibly in the 1000s with extreme engineering will most likely be much less than 1km long imo

These mass drivers are going to be very, very long. I've graphed out the required length of a mass driver depending on the acceleration, assuming they will reach lunar escape velocity (~2,400m/s) Even if the mass driver could reach 50m/s^2 of acceleration (~5G), the mass driver would have to be about 58km long.

@Adriksh Linus a goat His only sin is git taxonomy

Be Linus Torvalds > writes an OS as a hobby accidentally changes computing forever > picks C because abstractions lie works close to hardware, trusts nothing blindly > builds Linux, lets the world fight over it > creates Git out of spite for bad tools > says exactly what he thinks, no PR filter > ignores trends, frameworks, hype cycles > lives quietly, codes when it matters > doesn’t sell courses, doesn’t sell motivation > still relevant decades later because fundamentals don’t age Did Linus solve tech by not playing the tech game at all?

@MaxCRoser @_HannahRitchie @OurWorldInData It's true that farming is responsible for a lot of the emissions but all that carbon is absorbed from the atmosphere in the first place so the net impact is zero. This is unlike burning fossil fuels

@MaxCRoser @_HannahRitchie @OurWorldInData You are misunderstanding what em said Carbon gets absorbed and re-emitted to the atmosphere at the surface of earth and the net impact is zero (Farming is an example). The problem is taking old carbon from deep down below the surface and re emitting it to the atmosphere.

Elon Musk said that farming has “no meaningful impact on climate change”. This is not true. Food production is responsible for a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. @_HannahRitchie documents it here on @OurWorldInData: ourworldindata.org/food-ghg-emiss…

@cis_female Nice thread, moving the bits is the real bottleneck However NLP on device will be possible with new model architectures (completely different than gpts)

Everywhere on twitter you see people talking about open-source models and local inference, but local inference is much harder than most people think for fundamental reasons related to how GPT-style models work. twitter.com/SullyOmarr/sta…

i feel special seeing #Google and #Microsoft fighting over me 😂

@dmvaldman Me

Somewhere, someone is quietly working on Engelbart's "Mother of All Demos" for AI, where every human-computer interface is rethought from first principles

@ValaAfshar I am the complete opposite of an emotional person and i just laughed so hard in tears of joy and happiness, babies are trully wonderfull

@matthen2 They originate in vertical infinity visit the center then escapes to horizontal infinity

each dot (except the one in the middle) eventually escapes to infinity... yet the animation loops perfectly?

@stevenmarkryan Learn

What did you get done in 2022? (This is both rhetorical and not)

@jamestanton Not alwyse possible take the example of a central point and 7 colinear with it + 7 pts also colinear with center + another 6 also colinear with center. in this case there is no line passing by the center and dividing the dots 10,10 (the pts colinear and in the same side)

21 distinct points (dots with no dimension) placed on a page. For sure possible to draw a line through some one point that separates the remaining dots into two groups of ten? Always possible if I insist on which point the line goes through?

The biggest transformation in the history of earth is happening in front of our eyes and yet almost no one is aware what a great time to be alive and enjoy the ride!

@EmmanuelMacron I love this pic

@duhdennie @jamestanton That's what i said, if no +1/-1 the pts must be colinear with center, so we will see the next crossing and so one.. or all pts are colinear (in clusters) and its obvious how to proof a line exist in that case (Sorry but its hard to summorize a full and rigorous proof in a tweet)

@xnio94 @jamestanton why is it necessarily +1/-1? what about two points colinear with the center

Sixteen points (dots of no dimension) are drawn on a page. Is there, for sure, to be a straight line you could draw across the page that separates the dots into two sets of eight dots, eight on each side of the line?

@jamestanton If all colinear its obvious how to divide them, otherwise they must be the same point

@jamestanton Yes, choose an arbitrary center in the paper draw a line and rotate it arround that pt, the line will divide the points into two sets and each time you pass by a point one set is +1 and the other is -1 so you will end up with 8,8 or all the points are colinear with center

@ajtourville 16(sqrt3 -pi/3)

▫️ Points A, B, and C are collinear ▫️ Circles A, B, and C have a radius of 4 What is the total surface area of the 2 shaded regions bounded by the arcs (BD,DF,FB) and (BE,EG,GB) ?

@jamestanton the min area S = 1/8π is the case of two identical circles

@jamestanton yes if area S of the shape > 1/8π the question is does an x exist such as: S=a+b with a=π*(x/2π)²=x²/4π b=π*((1-x)/2π)²=(1-x)²/4π => x²-x+1/2-2πS=0 admire acceptable solutions when 1/8π<S<1/4π and x=(1+-sqrt(8πS-1))/2 (S<1/4π is true for every shape with equality for circles)

A wire 1 unit long. Form it into a non-circular shape. Call its area A. Is it always possible to cut the wire into two pieces instead and form each piece into a circle so that that the sum of the two areas of the circles is A?
