I know right? Open source hardware has so many potential benefits over commercial. Significantly decreased price, privacy, good documentation, right to repair, no conflict of interest and potentially one day performance. Imagine we have engineers from across the world improving a single computer chip design, generator design, solar panel fabrication process, or maybe even perhaps an open source fusion reactor blueprint someday in the next 20 years (pun intended).

I'm seriously considering starting something like this myself. Open source blueprints for power generation/energy storage (regular batteries, thermal sand resevior based batteries, hydro power generation), water filtration, machine tools for fabricating anything, CNC machine, plasma cutters, hand tools, etc. Basically everything you could need to live Open Source.

The problem as always is getting enough designers, engineers, and volunteers.

Oh? I didn't know that. They seemed like a good organization to me too. Open source hardware is quite lacking compared to the software side so I hope they succeed.

What forums/social media sites do you recommend? in c/[email protected]

Found a nice list of resources for RSS. The internet really does feel like an echo-chamber now! There is so much noise to signal. Hopefully this post helps reduce the echoing a tad. I would love if you shared some tips for getting started with RSS if that's alright!

Here's a collection of awesome RSS feeds I know about. I'm not too familiar with other lists but perhaps others are?

Thanks! I wonder if there are any websites hosting open source 3d models. Also thought I'd drop this resources too!

Sorry didn’t mean to cause any trouble. I collect and share internet resources with others. If you want to verify this for yourself, my post history has questions similar to this one. I removed the image to make this post more ‘generic’. I am genuinely trying to share resources. My apologies if it came across as advertising.

No it's not. This was one example of a powerful resource. Another is Libgen, and the List of Awesome

Thank you, great resource! It's very sad to see the feds going after libraries with the recent attacks against libgen (And potentially Internet Archive). Hopefully these libraries truly will be preserved forever. Information belongs to everyone.

In his ruling, Judge McMahon wrote, 'The plaintiffs (the publishers) have suffered irreparable harm as a result of the defendants' (LibGen operators') unlawful conduct and will continue to suffer harm if the defendants are permitted to continue operating LibGen,' and said LibGen's operation should be stopped.

The goal of this post is to provide a hub to discover some powerful internet resources out there.

For example here's one I wanted to share.

  • Open Source Ecology is a project for open source hardware that is significantly cheaper than retail costs. Some of the equipment include open source designs for CNC machines, windmills, tractors, plasma cutters, power supplies, motors, generators, and much more!

How to comment on US AI Regulation Request (www.regulations.gov)
 

I noticed many were people were having problems finding where to voice your response to the Open Source AI Regulation request by the NTIA. I have provided a link below. Click on "comments" and provide your message.

It is important that we provide a well reasoned and thoughtful response to counter the flood of fearmongers.

Please do so as open source AI will depend upon it.

What are your favorite mathematics channels/videos on YouTube?

There are tons of great videos on YT, but I'll list some resources from 3Blue1Brown's SoME3 contest if you want to discover more math explainers.

What are the highest quality search engines? (lemmy.world)

It is becoming near impossible to find relevant information from search engines. Duckduckgo, SearXNG, Bing, Google, and so many more mainstream engines have a significantly high noise to signal ratio, and it is getting worse.

Here are a collection of the best search engines I know, please add more to the list.

If no more high quality search engines exist, would it be possible to host your own?

EDIT: Some new discoveries. The addon uBlacklist and filters can block super SEO sites from appearing in search.

What concepts or facts do you know from math that is mind blowing, awesome, or simply fascinating?

Here are some I would like to share:

  • Gödel's incompleteness theorems: There are some problems in math so difficult that it can never be solved no matter how much time you put into it.
  • Halting problem: It is impossible to write a program that can figure out whether or not any input program loops forever or finishes running. (Undecidablity)

The Busy Beaver function

Now this is the mind blowing one. What is the largest non-infinite number you know? Graham's Number? TREE(3)? TREE(TREE(3))? This one will beat it easily.

  • The Busy Beaver function produces the fastest growing number that is theoretically possible. These numbers are so large we don't even know if you can compute the function to get the value even with an infinitely powerful PC.
  • In fact, just the mere act of being able to compute the value would mean solving the hardest problems in mathematics.
  • Σ(1) = 1
  • Σ(4) = 13
  • Σ(6) > 10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10^10 (10s are stacked on each other)
  • Σ(17) > Graham's Number
  • Σ(27) If you can compute this function the Goldbach conjecture is false.
  • Σ(744) If you can compute this function the Riemann hypothesis is false.
