The global average cloud cover for daytime is 64.6%; for nighttime 63.3%.

There are 1.3 * 10^21 moles of water in the Earth glaciers, 3.4 * 10^19 moles of oxygen in the atmosphere, 38 times less. If you burn all the oxy with hydrogen, sea level will rise by about a meter or two.

I wrote another blog post on Idena IPFS and created an oracle voting. https://scan.idena.io/contract/0x8d292d62c541e559daa216530e824ed50c2cc3af

Fusion of all of the Earth's hydrogen into oxygen roughly equals to 70 thousand years of solar energy above the atmosphere.

How many people can terrestrial planets feed?

In summary, 3.9 times Earth's population.

The coolest spot on Venus is at 650 K -
infrared radiation peak at 4.5 micrometers,
the clearest atmospheric window - 1.02 μm.
What kind of metamaterial will be able to cool down on the surface?

Oculus Quest does have feet tracking!
I showed it my bare foot and could even perform UI pinches.

So these guys want to stream remote 3d content straight to the client's engine, wonder when I can try.

I have my hair cut and feel rejuvenated.

I've solved all the puzzles in the Shadow Point game, mostly on my own.

Abidjan - Birobidzhan
18 (13) thousand km, 200 hours ride

Average one-way delay between neighboring planets without retransmission around the Sun:
Earth - Mars - 14.1 minutes
Earth - Venus - 9.5 minutes
Venus - Mars - 13.5 minutes

Something to take into account for future blockchain projects.

What a nice piece of journalist prose!

On the equator that is. At the 60th parallel, where it is 300 degrees Kelvin at noon, the speed is half of that.

Fun fact!
The terminator, the line of shadow on the Moon of this planet moves at the speed of only 16 km (~10 miles) per hour!

My next kitchenware will be a multicooker, probably Xiaomi, maybe induction-based.

I bought a few things for cooking and guest accommodation. A bouncy bed - $29, an induction stove - $23 with stainless pot - $18 and kettle - $3.5.

I'm tempted to spend these 200 $ to try out the latest holographic display from Looking Glass Factory.

What a wonderful insight into big F's approach to solve the conflict between vergence and accommodation of human eyes in modern head mounted displays!

The relation between the ocular vergence angle and the distance to the frontal fixation point.
As a clue to the question "What is the best distance to shoot 3d video?".

I found a trait shared by both functional programming and reversible computation concepts.
They are meant to be used in a closed system. Any conversion with the outside world detriments all their rigour and efficiency.

I bought two Oculus Quest 2.

I've purchased some lighting (~$8 each) from remezlight.com having read an endorsement of their product on lamptest.ru . It was delivered via Pickpoint service ($5).

，🙂

I'd upgraded them to a newer version.

I had my shoes stitched up for 8$ today.
The glue they were on wasn't all that adhesive.

So I was browsing free-to-plays availiable through Geforce Now and stumbled upon Splitgate (Steam), a quite fun and challenging deathmatch shooter with that lil twist that everyone has a Portal gun.
And it plays very differently from Translocator from UT.

Can we all agree on what we mean when we say "information"?

In my brief foray into Korean, I've encountered two Hanja dictionaries: koreanhanja.app and hanja.dict.naver.com , as well as vlive.tv with its subtitled videos which may be of great help in studying this peculiar language.

If I got it right, coupling all of the Earth's free oxygen with either carbon or hydrogen releases as much energy as around 1000 years of sunshine received by the planet.

If you are or plan to work in the artificial intelligence field, consider this.

True RNGs...
There was a surge of interest in verifiable entropy sources after the whole Snowden deal, several years ago.
These guys -https://youtu.be/jiy1rlKdBo8 still sell their avalanche diode based solution for 40$ -https://onerng.info/ .

So I bought Now Foods' DHA-500 from a Moscow-based reseller goodtabs.ru for 32$. Delivery to a local Cdek post office took five days and 3$. I paid in advance via direct transfer to card in the mobile app of my bank.

I studied the "Into the Breach" game on a Chromebook's Linux VM a little while ago. It's a wonderful game with pleasant gameplay, but what struck me the most, was its adaptive interface. It responds immediately as I switch between touchpad and touchscreen. I find it fascinating!

What a nice talk on Computer Science metanotation and its history by Guy Steele !

This time, I wanted to try the local supply chain.

I was running out of lysine, so I bought 1.5 kg of it from protein.company for ~25$. It was delivered to a Boxberry post office very near me, where I also paid for it.

I wonder what would be a proper way to approximate a globe with hex tiles. There are 2 kinds of tiling with 12 pentagons - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geodesic_polyhedra_and_Goldberg_polyhedra and a tesselation of an inflated dihedron.

Turns out, Andrew Huang, the one who made Novena, and co are developing a verifiable phone - betrusted.io https://youtu.be/Hzb37RyagCQ

Something more solid than Librem 5 and Pine64?

If I find myself in a depression, I'd rather be impressed than compressed or repressed.

Minecraft on a sphere is probably better with truncated octahedra and some pentagon-based polyhedra over buckyball bedrock. Rhombic dodecahedra are good for the whole planet as more regular and dense.

I looked at the floodmap.net the other day.
It is easier to connect the Red and Mediterranian seas through the Dead sea than through the Suez channel when sea level drops to -120 m.

I have finally watched the second Lego Movie and there was that song called "Not Evil" written by Jon Lajoie and performed by Tiffany Haddish.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this interesting presentation from 2017 which deserves more views - https://youtu.be/PVuSHjeh1Os
It's about optogenetics, interfaces, and intelligences.

And an awesome visualization of Starlink working with base stations - https://youtu.be/m05abdGSOxY
