Science thread Anonymous 115805[Reply]

Since there's too much talk about moids in our boards, I decided that I should do my part and contribute something non-moid related. So I'm making this thread about science, maths are included as well of course. I personally think that the soft sciences are actually closer to the humanities than to the hard sciences, but in the spirit of avoiding a flame war, I'll try to avoid this point as much as I can from now on.

You can ask questions and discuss stuff about science here, I'll try to answer whatever I can and perhaps attempt to guide posters in the right direction if I'm not familiar with the topic. I'm a physicist by training but I have a basic understanding of general chemistry, geology and biology as well. I know the most about astrophysics and meteorology/climate stuff, I'm OK at mechanics, thermodynamics and quantum physics and not so great at electromagnetism, relativity and maths in general (as in, compared to a mathematician, for a physicist I'm average at maths). Sorry if that came off as a bit pedantic, I just wanted to let you know the kind of stuff I'm more likely to give good answers to.

So yeah, ask away!

Just heard something interesting from my nurse moid acquaintance who's staunchly against ssri's. (but is pro maoi's)
>Someone asked here why women tolerate SSRI's way better. This is thanks to estrogen. Higher serotonin transporter availability + estrogen downregulates 5ht1a autoreceptors and upregulates 5ht2a, thus accelerating postsynaptic transmission and causing less harm

Which explains quite a bit, like why men tend to be more anti-psychiatry and tend to make fun of women for often being on ssri's, even though they're not necessarily as bad for women. But this needs fact checking.

>While women achieve better therapeutic outcomes, they are 50–75% more likely to experience adverse side effects, such as sexual dysfunction, weight gain, and nausea
this might have something to do with their mockery, on top of their self-centredness

Guy makes a semiconductor lab in a shed and makes a RAM.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfSO-LCKmrA

Okay I thought this was one of those funny haha gimmick videos at first, but the more I watched the more impressive it became. Hell I haven't heard this many new terms in a year. This guy (or a group of them) built a lab for semiconductors. Let's pretend we want to replicate this process and thus we need to extract as much info as possible. Not only he needed the knowledge for electronics, but also dyi building, airflow engineering, prob chemistry, engineering the actual equipment…

First, build the environment.
The shed is separated into the gowning area and the cleanroom area. It is imperative that the cleanroom stays as clean as possible, as single speck of dust can ruin a chip.
1) The shed is insulated (there's a lot of information on cleanroom insulation online),
2) some framing is added so we can set a cleanroom grade HEPA filter with an air intake filter just under the roof. I cannot tell which filters he got from the video.
3) A dedicated electrical circuit is installed. No information in the video on the specifics.
4) Heating and cooling with a mini split. (Would be nice to specify which role heating and cooling plays)
5) The room is divided and now every space has to be sealed. (?) Instead of using expensive plastic, he uses flame-resistant drywall with a water-based epoxy to create a smooth particle-free surface. The attic space above is also sealed and controlled for airflow.
Now, the airflow part is very important (1st pic) the cleanroom is also kept at a positive pressure (how?) to keep the contamination from coming in. Massive HEPA filter scrubs the air and recycles it a few hundreds per hour. (because the room volume is small)

After all's said and done, a particle counter is brought to the cleanroom for testing. It shows 40 particles/40ft^3 in the middle, and sub-100 at the edge of the room. This makes it a class 100 cleanroom, which OP claims is on the level of Samsung, Intel, TSMC.

Posting on 4chan makes me feel sick, but posting on CC makes me feel even more sick and angry. And then posting on my own board feels like something.
But I guess 4chan is better. I'm just looking at my backpack, it's tearing again I have to sew it. Which I should do.

I was waiting for it to get warmer before I left. It's warm inside this little shed with a heater.

It's funny that I'm so happy in the wilderness, I come across a bit of civilisation and I feel sick again.

There's all sorts of bottled pop and food in the ski lodge by the way. They just left the backdoor open. the spirte bottle exploded on me, apperently there is a cabin also one day north of here. There's no real information about it. In fact that's why I came to this area of the rocky mountains there's no google map photo spheres here.

That music and image are my new favourite things.

Every mountain pass climbed, every cold river crossed, I hear that music and raise my hands up.
Actually yesterday was the deepest river crossing, I should have taken off my pants completely because even past my knees they got wet and I also got swept from under and fell in.

What's the most recent word you learned? Anonymous 325734[Reply]

It's never a bad time to expand your vocabulary. Share with us new words as you learn them.
My most recent word is "freshet".

Anonymous 325735

Honestly I often see new words but I can't ever memorize them really because they're just another word for a thing I know.
I guess undulating or germinate.
>Undulating (adjective) describes something that moves, looks, or is shaped in a smooth, gentle, wavelike motion or form
From a book on Fourier transform
>To germinate means to begin to grow or develop

Oh yeah I've also heard sailence a lot a while back. For example, schizotypal people and schizophrenics often tend to have problems with sailence because of their dopamine levels, this is also how their paranoia works (ie they overvalue random signals)

i saw someone describe schizos as having deep plunges of information that they can't pull their brains out of fast enough, almost like cliffs that their consciousness dives into & gets caught. whereas normal people have plunges that they don't get stuck inside of. i think it was shown to me in a kind of graph demonstration, and i don't know if it was even close to an accurate elucidation, but interesting nonetheless, and this made me think of that. overvaluing signals against their will. must be torture

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Social media used to be just who you followed and that's it. Maybe you'd be suggested friends of friends but generally you only saw what you subscribed to. Uploading photos was already slow, not to mention videos, so people expressed themselves differently and having a lot of photos of yourself on your profile was weird. Nowadays seeing people upload videos about random topics and inserting their faces at any cost is so strange to me. Even on youtube you couldn't upload videos longer than a few minutes. So the content was overall more light-hearted and random.
Prior to social media, people just had their own websites and you had to manually visit them one by one and leave comments in a guest book. So basically the concept of virality was not really there. If you had a few thousand followers that was already a LOT.

The internet was a specific place you went to and left. A lot of people just had 1 family computer they shared and took turns using and in my early days you even had to pay per minute of internet access. Without smartphone internet, it was much easier to leave the internet behind and do other stuff and it was harder to get addicted. People couldn't take photos of you at school or in the street because rarely did anyone bring a digital camera with them. Editing photos was hard and required special software and skills so the photos you saw were either way more authentic or they were shooped to such hilarious degrees you could tell from a mile away. Automatic filters or even video filters did simply not exist. Privacy was a much bigger concern, I already mentioned that people had much fewer photos of themselves online, but before Facebook it was unimaginable to put your full government name on the internet. So you'd have your nickname and an avatar and the large-scale exposure and harassment that's normal now was basically impossible.

i find myself questioning what it's like for other people to inhabit their own heads, sometimes. not even the brain, not primarily, but the head. the feeling of focusing attention inside of it. because i don't really feel "in" my brain, but it's the only spot i can approximate myself being. i feel this somethingness, but this nothingness
how does life happen and come into other people? as in how it's processed. i'm nosey to know how far people go with integrating information into themselves, too, because nothing seems to permeate throughout me as it comes in. i rarely feel "one with" my crying, for example. i assume i'm indifferent overall
do people sense their head area as fuzzy? vague, foggy, rounded? or sharp, driven by clarity, jumpy, loud, listening? my head seems casual, low
i'm spitting nonsense atp but, i want to keep going. how many people have their attention, themselves, mostly in their hands? i think i'm somewhere at the crown of my skull, then i sense just above my glabella and onto my forehead. around that area
is existing inside ones own body vastly different for everyone, or generally similar? you'd imagine most people are in the top of their body, but what if someone's in their chest

Alright, I found a gardening thread on /diy/. Some of these people use electronics for their potted plants, which I find interesting!
I wish it had an elaborate op faq like the electronics general. Maybe if I get really bored one day I could try making one.

I also randomly kinda thought, didn't people settle by the rivers for the purposes of irrigation. What if I connected pots to like a 3rd long pot filled with water. How would this work.

being good Anonymous 321419[Reply]

hello nonas. i have a genuine question. im a bit of a sperg so do not laugh: what is the purpose of being a good person or ontologically good if it brings more suffering on the good person, as being good leads to more cases where the person loses? why would anyone want to be the loser? and we instill ideas of goodness for some kind of deeper personal meaning anyway… why?

Being good doesn't mean you have to be a 100 percent selfless, you can be good and still put yourself first before others. You can't help others if you can't help yourself.
