I’ve had kbin show me a 500 once or twice, but it was because my ethernet cable had slipped the socket.
I’ve gotten more complex custom errors of indeterminate type, generally when posting, but typically the error is in error, as the post completes as expected.
It’s cool, user @djidane535 dropped some truth on me, and it finally soaked in.
I’ll probably end up with some user scripts, or a browser extension, but I’m holding back until I know more about the ecosystem, what’s useful, etc.
Actually, it took a minute to sink in, but that is very helpful. Thanks for enduring my morning dimness :D
Interesting but not really helpful. I found something in a recent FAQ that says I should add an article instead of a post, but the option to add an article is not on the menu on my instance, as it is in their screenie
Also I’m a mastodon user, and my account there is the focus of my microblogging activity. The user there follows this account, so my posts here, show up there. The short story is, the microblog here is essentially a right pain in my ass.
At least now I know what it is.

Also Idk what you are talking about nobody believing there’s an actual singularity; I don’t know what else you think is happening, or of what use the mathematics might be if it doesn’t approach some degree of accuracy as concerns the physical character of the phenomena
Thank you for linking that! I knew I had read that they could be, but I couldn’t recall where. It might not have been Scientific American, but that’ll do XD
While clearly they can be, infinity == infinity is still true, If I recall.
Also, I’ve got some simple problems with that crate analogy, Scientific American or not; any crate with an infinite number of anything inside it cannot be emptied, it’s in the very definition of infinite. Consequently, neither crate will ever empty and the pairing will be an infinite pairing of apples and oranges.
A couple examples of manifolds:
exhaust manifold on combustion engine takes raw cylinder exhaust gases in pipes that all come down and combine into a single larger pipe that connects to the input of a catalytic converter.
the plenum in your attic is a manifold. One big duct runs from your air handler into a box with several ducts coming from it, delivering air to each of the vents. the ducts and the plenum form a manifold.
In literature, it means ‘many and various’.
In mathematics, “a collection of points forming a certain kind of set, such as those of a topologically closed surface or an analog of this in three or more dimensions”
In Kantian philosophy, “the sum of the particulars furnished by sense before they have been unified by the synthesis of the understanding”
Origins: Old English manigfeald ; current noun senses date from the mid 19th century.
All from the wikipedia
They all have some descriptive relevance, but the one that really counts for us is the math one, suggesting the closed surface.
It wouldn’t surprise me though if it still worked; there are many examples of topologically closed surfaces that can still be traversed, if in unexpected ways. I’m thinking of another manifold, the klein bottle, and of course the mobieus strip.
Not helping much here in Texas, though.
By definition, a manifold has a place where things go in, and other things come out. So yes, it does in fact logically follow. If its a manifold, then it logically follows that what goes in comes out.
You’re saying we know a bunch of stuff I’m not certain we know.
My understanding is that by definition, the singularity has infinite mass and infinite gravity, so there is no way it can gain mass; because infinity + 1 = infinity. It’s the very nature of infinities. You can have a number of infinities, but manipulating them arithmetically always yields infinity. 2 x infinity = infinity. 3 / infinity = infinity.
Like zero, it is more identity than number. 0 = nothing, infinity = everything.
So if you hope to have me follow your narrative, you’re going to address this assertion concerning increasing the mass of black holes first.
can’t happen fast enough or cheap enough.
I’m no authority, but I love this stuff. I read Dr. Hawking’s book “A Brief History of Time”, and it was not problematic for me.
My takeaway is that a black hole is a sort of manifold. It would follow that if there is a way into it, and stuff going into it, the stuff must be coming out somewhere.
The question is where that stuff comes out, and in what form, and when, in it’s local time frame.
I had always envisioned this hypothetical ‘other side’ as a white hole. It seems like, since we haven’t observed any white holes, that the exits must be elsewhere.
Great thread y’all ,TYSM.
No doubt they’ll kill it off as soon as it sees any sort of adoption
I too tried to flee reddit for lemmy.ml, over a year ago now - and found it to be a far worse clusterfucked shitstorm than reddit ever was, and I mean that ideologically, philosophically, politically, and morally.
I just didn’t go back until the current exodus, mainly because I was trying to see if the account still worked, and it had been lost/purged/banned whatever
fuck those guys and the horse they rode in on, then far as I’m concerned, they can ride it back out of here wet.
Might as well federate with facebook.
Meta is facebook who engaged Cambridge Analytica to purchase our lives.
Not from us, but from them. Facebook literally sold out the world
Facebook nearly destroyed this country for a buck.
Fuck facebook. I don’t want to avoid federating because I dont want them around; I want to avoid federating because anything I can do to starve them of every resource for growth that I possibly can is the best thing I can do about facebook.
@Anomander
This is the second error I described.
However, I was not trying to tell you what error you experienced, only offering my experience for comparison, or to add to the list of things you’re hearing about.
Cheers and Good Luck
