There’s another interesting aspect to this: the outcome is often strongly tied to the quality of the prompt. The prompt itself should include a built-in quality-control component.
The idea is more about what to choose when wanting to switch CMS's the whole anchor of the study is based on the idea that people want research on CMS comparisons, so the cons/pros are valuable. Thanks for the tip, trying to incorporate this into the core article now...
It is from the Moon's perspective. On the visual spectrum the Earth is much larger and more reflective than the Moon. You're looking at something like 40x greater illumination during a 'full Earth' than you get during a full Moon on Earth. Earth is also extremely noisy in the radio spectrum for radio telescopes, while the Moon itself blocks most of all of that out on the far side.
Earthshine is brighter than moonshine, sure. Earthshine at its brightest, delivers about 0.15W/sq meter to the moon. Sunshine meanwhile delivers 1360W/sq meter to the moon. The near side of the moon is the only side which experiences eclipses. The amount of energy from the sun is SO large, compared to earthshine, that ~1.5 eclipses per year for a few hours each represents a loss of light that outweighs the additional light gained from earthshine by about 5x.
We're talking fractions of a percent here of course, but it's not ambiguous. The near side of the moon is also the darker side.
Details for why ~40x: The Earth is 3.67 times larger in diameter in the lunar sky than the Moon appears in ours. Earth covers 13.5 times more visual sky area and is also about 3 times more reflective per unit area
As I mentioned in a sibling comment, the brightness of the Earth does not outweigh the lost sunlight during lunar eclipses. The near side of the Earth is darker.
Sorry my dark side comment was not in reference to the light or darkness of the moon it was in reference to the more "radio silenced" aspect of it. But just a solid platform for building a ultra large scale machine would be a start off planet. I am stoked about the discoveries JWST has driven with its jump in res and reach!
By the time we have a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon, I assume we can just lay a couple hundred kilometers of fiber to the nearest settlement. The border of the disk, from Earth's perspective, is prime scientific real estate - the border of the area that's always visible is not too far from the area that's never visible (and, therefore, shadowed from our radio noise).
Maintenance crews can do quick hops to the telescope, while their offices are always in contact with Earth.
Is it even possible to find one these days? I would love to see some real honest amazon kindle stats on the amount of ebooks added over the last 3 years. Even a honest pie chart to show people its not worth it to get them to stop posting them.
Finally, someone said it: readers are people, not “traffic,” and writing isn’t a “content asset.” Somewhere, a LinkedIn growth hacker just felt a disturbance in the funnel.
This is already dangerously cool. The second they add Kindle support, Free Ink is going from niche open-source project to “why is GitHub on fire?” territory.
The point of this seems to be building on open hardware. If you want open source software that builds on proprietary hardware, KOReader is what you want. (I use it, it's great.)
