Come study our bilingual sustainable engineering bachelor program. You can learn German alongside.
Also: we need you to provide a German A2 level certificate when you apply.
Are you for real @tu-braunschweig.de ?
It could also have been a giant asteroid impact which stopped the dynamo or simply the randomness of elements composing Mars made the materials solidify quicker.
One more argument for how rare this little rocky planet of ours is.
Peace ✌️
I hadn’t realized the flow could be stopped like on Mars.
It’s not clear why it happened.
Hypotheses include that Mars is 11% of earth’s mass and smaller planets lose internal heat faster.
Solar radiation would kill us if we didn’t have earth‘s magnetic field. Did you know Mars’ field has faded?
Earth‘s magnetic field is produced by liquid metal flows (convection) in its outer core: hot fluid rising and cooler fluid sinking. It’s like a giant dynamo.
If you want to learn a scientific or engineering field, you need to think in arrows (vectors). I wrote a gentle intro to it. No prereqs required.

It shows mapping of ingredients to meals in final list for sense checking
I noticed o4-mini is better than gpt-4.1 for instruction following and iteratively checking. Gpt 4.1 drops items frequently.
This meal planning app I vibe coded on replit is low key useful. I’m trying to cook more and eat less processed food.
What it does:
I take an image of a recipe -> It extracts ingredients and saves
I make weekly meal plan -> It consolidates ingredients and checks (cont’d)
on intrinsic motivation
Rewarding task completion actually leads to worse intrinsic motivation. Rewarding showing up and giving it a good shot is more effective at fostering intrinsic motivation
Depends on demographics, in my group of 30-40 yrs ps5 is strong winner. Ps5 has still sold 78 million units.
Future conscious ais will likely not know what it feels to have a finite duration. They will probably not be shut off and so live very long.
So I wrote some words about finiteness for them. As you do 😃
Does rich consciousness require finiteness (death)?

I know that 2/3 of replies to any posts online are gonna be negative or non-constructive. And it is what it is.
From this very accessible article on entropy.

Vsauce proposes a view on our life at this moment in Time:
Dust specs which can leave a ghost trace
Was not possible for the 110 billion unknown people that have ever been born before
It’s lovely perspective. But better watch it and tell me whether it resonates or not
Ok, thanks for clarifying
Nothing like a high interval run in 28-30c
Feel the limits!
Yeah. I’d rather have gossip news on top trending news than war
The follow button and recommendation algos were a huge mistake. Should have done a simple connection graph based on 2/6 friendly people 3/6 weird but ok people to hang out with and 1/6 people unfriendly to one's own views.
Information shaping has always been political. The early internet was an anomaly. I cannot see how one can seed a decentralized low latency platform. It would require some other tangible benefit for masses of people to flock to it or a more radical worsening of civil liberties to wake people up.
Brand is now associated with a certain political view. Even reasonable people like paul graham tried it and did not find it appealing. bsky is a refuge for people neglected by X. Jack probably is an idealist and wants a true decentralized system that can never be subverted by a political view.
There is a before and an after regular use of kettlebells in workouts.
Underrated how much you get done with them!
Get the bag and get bought out.
The recent NBA rule changes accelerated the resolution of bad contracts because teams can stretch the money owed and fall below the penalty thresholds on total salary.
It’s a great league for players!
TIL I learned there are different checkers rules and my Russian mother seems to have taught me American checkers and not Russian checkers 🤷🏻♂️
being kind of half Russian (Belarus!), this make me chuckle. Ahh that cold Russian resourcefulness and FU to the rest of the world!
here is a bit more context on why Berlin rejected the budget. Bravo Herr Merz!!
I am liking Merz more and more
first: he is strong against Putin
second: he rejects the bureaucratic EU layer.
Let's have a European military alliance and economic zone which is decentralized. Remove the bureaucratic layers!!!
😰
