  • What are they in for? The site seems to work fine from a user perspective.

    Fox News would seem like a perfectly fine source of news if you get all your news from Fox News, wouldn't you agree?

    Any community can still be manually added.

    And you can still manually get any news you want from other channels, Fox News just won't show them.

    (I am not saying PieFed is as bad as Fox News, just trying to make an analogy to show that something that "seems to work fine" can be pretty bad for the users nonetheless)

    BTW, !enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world (with the exclamation mark up front) to correctly refer to communities. Without the ! that's an email address.

  • If the code is bad, you realise only coders would notice it from reading that?

    That's what makes it particularly sad. The people who didn't read the code have no idea what they're in for.

    What hardcoded bans are you referring to here? The 4chan one that can be disabled?

    How about this one? 'enoughmuskspam', 'political_weirdos', 'piracy', 'memes' are hardcoded banned. 196 used to be banned to but they removed it from the "bad list".

    Also "can be disabled" does not excuse hardcoded filtering. If they're serious they could implement a config system in an hour.

  • Chromium is a well-organized and mature codebase, which makes syncing changes relatively easy (also Brave's chageset is limited in scope, so less conflicts to worry about). PieFed is neither mature nor well-organized. Maintaining a downstream project from it would be a nightmare.

  • I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it's 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on...

  • Usually 0/0=NaN and NaN compared with a number would be false.

    Maybe the (up-down)/(up+down) is just what AmazingWizard summarized from the code. But from what we have seen of the quality of that codebase I won't be surprised if it's literally this expression, division by zero and all. Lol

  • I didn't downvote your comment. But let me argue anyway.

    Lots of people flock to PieFed because it is not made by the Lenmy devs who are unpalatably heavy handed in their "moderation" on the ml instance. One would hope this means PieFed offers more freedom to use the software how you like. So it's funny that it's even stricter "moderation" AND NOW ITS HARDCODED so it affects every instance.

  • lol hardcoded shit everywhere. that codebase is so bad it's entertaining. you should make a standalone post about this here and crosspost to !programming_horror@programming.dev

  • Pretty sure some slopmaster asked an AI chatbot to make a catchy headline for the quantum mechanics we've known for years.

    You have a quantum cat-in-a-box. The cat is in a superposition of being alive and dead. You make the "human choice" to open the box. Now the cat turns out to be dead, and it actually died 10 minutes before you open the box. So you can kind of interpret it as your choice affecting reality 10 minutes backwards.

  • Technically it's not really a horizon if it "opens up" allowing you to observe events from the inside afterwards. But of course in any realistic setting (including that experiment) it will open up eventually, so no horizon. But nature doesn't know that it will open up, so maybe it should behave like a horizon until nature knows, resulting in a criteria like you said. I think the criteria is loosely equivalent to saying "the acceleration must change the speed by almost c", so your centrifuge probably wouldn't lead to radiation.

    But I really am not sure about any of this. The right way to do this is to actually calculate the mode function. One day when I'm better with QFT and all these stuff I'll try to do it.

  • [troll science]: Unruh particle shower on a centrifuge

    Jump

  • So I did a bit more reading. It seems like acceleration alone is not enough for invoking equivalence principle and saying we have Unruh radiation. If it was enough, non-blackholes objects would Hawking radiate like both of us were suspecting. Apparently physicists are quite confident only blackholes can Hawking radiate.

    There is another picture that may work better for us. Instead of thinking of Unruh radiation (which would require doing serious QFT in curved spcetime calculations), we can think of the radiation coming from ripples popping up near the horizon (the black hole horizon for Hawking, the Rindler horizon for Unruh).

    In this picture you absolutely need a horizon to get radiation. So on the centrifuge you won't feel any radiation 🤷‍♂️

  • good meme!

    by the equivalence principle, even earth's 1g gravitational field should already lead to some Unruh radiation for us, so you don't even need a centrifuge!

    but your centrifuge is interesting. from the PoV of someone at rest angular momentum needs to be conserved so as you get fatter the rotation must slow down as @herrpfad@feddit.org said. but from the troll's PoV why should they slow down? it's a thermal spectrum, and acceleration is radially inward, so why should there be a retrograde force? (like, what makes the retrograde direction more special then prograde?)

    i think the resolution is you don't get exactly Unruh radiation (because your acceleration isn't actually constant (its rotating)), but how exactly that affects the mode functions i have no idea

  • How does that work? Did the .ml ban all the accounts they made on 1000 different instances? Does this mean spam doesn't appear at all for users registered with .ml? If that's the case I think I'm gonna switch. So sick of that spammer.

  • just put the water under the sun? why would anyone use solar panels to heat water. you're losing like 90% the sun's energy in trying to capture it as electricity.
