Thank you! I didn't know about them!!
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.
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!

Amazing! Thank you for the tips and taking the time to write this!
Not a video, but a resource. If you want to mass download playlists yt-dlp is the way to do it easily.
That is awesome! This is why Lemmy is the best social media site. Thanks @reddig33@lemmy.world for the resource!
In the words of Ubisoft we need to feel "comfortable with not owning your game". If buying is not owning then piracy is not stealing.
Got any recommended resources for piracy sites/lists?
Vsauce is awesome! He makes you question everything after each video!
Also...
What free resources do you know on the internet that everyone should use?

Links and Resources
Some of my favorites are from Edward Frenkel and the Langlands Program. In analogy the Langlands Program can be thought of as the "Theory of Everything" of mathematics linking various seemingly disconnected fields together.
Another great video is from 3b1b where he shows Pi somehow emerge from 2 blocks colliding against each other.

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) > 101010101010101010101010101010 (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.

An Internet Portal is an information hub connecting you a much wider portion of the internet.
For example:
- Wikipedia's Content Portal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Portals
- Github's List of Awesome: https://github.com/topics/awesome
- Wikipedia's List of list of lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lists_of_lists
- Wikipedia Internet Forums List: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_forums
What Internet Portals do you know of that you would like to share?
Search engines have been dropping in quality significantly within the past decade, and especially within this past year. The noise to signal ratio has been frankly painful.
Can you please share some resources you use when trying to find answers to technical questions?
For example, STEM, academia, engineering, programming, etc.
What social media platforms do you use and want to recommend to others? Front ends could also be a suggestion, along with lists of great communities.
For example: https://sub.rehab/
Which is a collection of communities from different platforms.
The quality of search engines has gone down so much for technical questions.
I'm looking for a way to index sites like stack exchanges, reddit, quora, and research papers. Would this be possible to do this locally with metadata?
Leaderboard scores often can be a bit misleading since there are other factors to consider.
- Censorship: Is the model censored?
- Verbosity: How concise is the output?
- Intelligence: Does the model know what it is talking about?
- Hallucination: How much does the model makes up facts?
- Domain Knowledge: What specialization a model has.
- Size: Best models for 70b, 30b, 7b respectively.
And much more! What models do you use and would recommend to everyone?
The model that has caught my attention the most personally is the original 65b Llama. It seems genuine and truly has a personality. Everyone should chat with the original non-fine tuned version if they can get a chance. It's an experience that is quite unique within the sea of "As an AI language model" openai tunes.
SEO has made it incredibly hard to find answers without getting spammed by news and blog sites. Places like ask Lemmy help democratize answers through upvotes and downvotes so the quality is higher.
Do you know of any hidden gems for search engines or Q&A sites that contain highly relevant answers without much noise?
Feel free to list a few video games from different genres. Best is definitely subjective and I'm sure there are many "Best" games for various categories.
Half Life: Alyx for example is widely considered the "Best" VR game. Many would agree it's the best Action VR game, but it wouldn't be the "Best" for puzzles.
To make it easier I'll list the types of Genres for Video Games from Wikipedia. Please do give suggestions for some of the highest quality games you've played from various categories:
- Action: Platform games, shooter, fighting, survival, etc
- Action-Adventure: Survival horror
- Adventure: Interactive, real time, 3d, text adventures, etc
- Puzzle: Exploration, trial and error, breakout, logical games, etc
- Role-playing: Action RPG, MMORPG, tactical, sandbox, etc
- Simulation: Management, life simulation, vehicle simulation, etc
- Strategy: Real time, turn based, wargame, grand strategy, etc
- Sports: Racing, competitive, sports games, etc
- MMO: Massively multiplayer online game
- Openworld: Sandbox, creative, open world, etc
Note: Non-exhaustive category list. There are more such as card games, board games, etc. Please check the wiki link above for more categories to get ideas for the "best" games.
I personally would recommend Subnautica (Open World), Half Life: Alyx (VR Action-Adventure), The Witcher 3 (Role-playing), Black Mesa (Action), Titanfall 2 (Action), Portal 2 (Puzzle), Battlebit (MMO/Action), and Half Life 3 (Fictional Game).
Hi, I like to learn about what resources are out there on the internet. I hope you have found my posts useful!
