I did not know human-kind has finally taken better pictures of the Sun’s South Pole!

Solar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles

This made me think, how dangerous would solar flares be for dyson swarm elements?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

not, as long as you give them a thin layer of copper or aluminum or silver or really any good conductor lining the cavity their sensitive electronics reside in
or, better yet, YBCO, since you’ll want the temps of the electronics low anyways, and YBCO is a superconductor below 80 something degrees kelvin

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Also, what would be the optimal distance from the star for dyson swarm elements so that they produce much energy while retaining a long lifespan?

Dumb cooling idea: Gaming Pasta

KFC did that right ?

@Poodelicus

Using the heat generated by the CPU to boil water? Wouldn’t the CPU be damaged by its own heat? That would be an expensively short lived hot plate.

Ehh lower the pressure a bit or add a heat pump and it works. CPUs can take a lot of 90+ degree heating (c) and more or less infinite 80+

@willow

use smth that boils lower, like low pressure water!

precisely, and like i said, we only really need to get it below 90, and we’re REAL close at 100.
To be specific, 3 km (10,000 ft) high in the air is enough.

@willow

exactly!

funny as belgium

@willow

average computer owner whose computer doesn’t even use a kilowatt

Recently read the recommended specs for using unreal engine, and uh, i’ll just say there’s a lot of folks using over a kilowatt out there

What sort of PC would be using a megawatt? I presume none like that exist yet…

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

there is a supercomputer uses 30 MW, and it reaches 1.7 exaflops, which is the computation power of almost 2 human brains

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well we’re still pretty far from emulating a human brain in the first place, aren’t we?

Tamisiocaris - When Radiodonts became filter feeders.

Makes you wonder what sort of exotic filter feeders could alien worlds offer…

Would three-way opening mouths be possible? Like Raiju, from the first Pacific Rim film…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So like jaws within jaws or something?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Raiju was the only example that immediately came to my mind with a three-way jaw. It just so happens to also have a jaw within it.

But sure, why not. Jaws within jaws, too.

And then there are fractal limbs…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose they will be possible, like many other hypothetical bio-structures…

@Oncpapa

TL;DR: ONC accidentally makes himself look like a furry.

i feel your pain , too relatable

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

What did you look like before you became an otter?

default profile picture

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

What is it like to be a default profile picture?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

The first line had me laughing for several minutes straight!

The world of animals also went weird after the great dying…
