It's nuts that the solar oven works even on totally overcast days. It's 6'C outside, windy and overcast. We were able to cook a whole tray of seitan this morning. Why isn't this more known

@neauoire Lack of consumables. Not good. Burn gas, release CO2, water hot, sometimes boom, hurr durr.

I guess it does not work indoors or at night, not "convenient".

How much do those cost and how hard is the maintenance/cleaning?

@neauoire You know what would be really cool? Imagine having a heat pipe transporting the energy inside your boat and keeping the solar collector on top. 1 m2 of pipes could make about 0.5-1 kW so becoming, in principle, equal to a standard electric oven. Being 200-250C the maximum temperature you can reach with standard heat pipes, it's not totally impossible to build it! ;-)

@neauoire hey but if you’re gradually typed you can chip away at those capful by capful…

@neauoire this could use a "screen reader unfriendly" cw, or maybe edit the repeating text

@neauoire really interested to hear more on what and how

@neauoire may I ask what was the weather like while you were cooking? I've been super curious about solar cooking for awhile.

Jason

@neauoire pretty neat! How many servings can you cook up in there?

So, @rek and I got super interested in these vacuum tubes that people put on their rooftops.

We've just cooked our first meal with the sun, and are still a bit shocked at how well it worked out. It's pretty cool out today, it was able to cook potatoes thoroughly in an hour.

@neauoire @rek Cool! (Or should I rather say “hot”?!j) what to search for to get more information?

Anne

@neauoire very cool! I wouldn't mind trying this at home and when camping.

@maxime_andre tu connais GTK2? J'ai assayez de builder intwo de Lippi tout l'avant-midi et j'y arrive pas.

@neauoire ah oui j'avais buildé mais il faut une ancienne version de gtk je crois

@neauoire this is how it is. That is the reason that I started my degree in Mathematics after decades of too much stupid work. Thank you for sharing

What I would give to see smullyan's take on interaction nets. :mocking:

@neauoire @rek I'm nearly at the point where I play this in an endless loop, giggling maniacally. 😂

@sejo is there a repo for the #uxn tutorial? Snufkin on irc is asking if they could make some improvements.

Snufkin

@neauoire thanks for asking and pointing me in the right direction!

@sejo thanks for the #uxn tutorial, I plan to make some contributions to both English and Spanish versions. Here is the repo in case someone else is also interested:

@neauoire am I understanding the first equation correctly that adding Zero to N should be rewritten to a Successor of N where N is just some number? shouldn't it result in just N? what am I missing here? :moomin_what:

screwlisp

@neauoire I'm interested but I feel like I need to spend a year writing a thesis to decide what I think of page 1 of this thesis

@neauoire I love that paper a lot and also the talk "the future of programming" by Bret Victor

lots of great ideas from the past that still have not been adopted.

I don't really know very much about this but it feels like part of the problem is how CPUs are designed. we have extremely fast out of order processors connected to a very large and complex memory hierarchy

unless of course the paper is just talking about programming style. but idk it's much harder for me to map functional programming to assembly or what hardware does

@neauoire what about interaction nets in hardware ? (found here : twitter.com/VictorTaelin/statu)
I don't know how it works but i am mesmerized by this little circuit. ☺️

@neauoire Interesting, I will read it. Thank you

@neauoire I want a techno album that just samples this all over the place

@neauoire

Odd that Alexander’s writings probably had a bigger impact on software design than they did on architecture and urban planning

Four hours into that five minutes project.

@neauoire My standard response to someone telling it "it should take 5 minutes" is "nothing takes five minutes... especially since I bill in 15 minute increments.")
