The Great Dodecahedron is my favorite polyhedron, and it's possible to build one out of paper. Give it a try when you get a chance !

That makes atleast two of us. Where I live, they festoon a few of these on Christmas in addition to the more traditional five pointed star. I have always wondered whether it had easy enough net.

The Icosahedron though, that makes my heart skip a beat sometimes.


Maybe if you build the datacenter inside an asteroid, and use the whole surface as an infrared radiator.


The thermal budget is impossible to escape. Maybe in an asteroid it could be possible, the whole surface becomes a thermal radiator and the whole asteroid a thermal mass. But still no convection.


Unfortunately the powdery regolith of an asteroid is a thermal insulator.


What's your counter argument for the thermal budget problem ?

Dissipating heat into outer space is extremely difficult, you can't escape thermodynamics.


Maybe some governments are sponsoring these activities near the border of a political rival. Like they did during the golden triangle era...


More than Germanic ?


Grok says Slavic 300M-350M, Germanic 150M-180M, Romance 190M-200M, Celtic 80M-100M, Uralic 20M-25M.


Does this include US population?


Grok could say anything. Isn't there a rule yet on just blatantly copy/pasting AI answers ?


Gr0k wouldn't lie to you about race. Maybe the spacerace.


Sorry to be that guy. But Emacs ? Free forever and great at keyboard shortcuts.

Probably still needs a good text editor though.


Just curious if anyone has heard of Otto Hahn? Unsung genius of quantum research born on the losing side of multiple wars.


He's a very famous scientist as is his collaborator Lise Meitner. 'Unsung' might be a bit of a 'new to you', in this case.


I meant compared to the glory that the theoretical physicists get. I can't find any general public / mainstream work that even mention him as a crucial scientist in the development of the nuclear industry.


He comes up in any general audience book about the science of the period or the atomic bomb or who-deserved-what-Nobel-prize, etc. Here's a recent play, just on first google

Awesome man! You solved quite a few problems I had working on mine. (Not sure I understand everything though)

I checked your code, fixed a few things. It now works for: 7c01 0030 7de1 1000 0020 7803 1000 https://github.com/fbulens/dcpu16-js

I'll continue tomorrow (Europe here).


Glad you found it helpful! I merged in your changes and added an html interface.


Actually, two satellites have already been launched: GIOVE-A and GIOVE-B [1].

And now, things should go pretty quickly, we probalby are 2-3 years away from having a decent fleet flying. Although I can't find a source for it now that I need it...
