Can someone explain why it’s such a big load? Each boost is maybe a kb of data, so even a million of them over a day is a GB of transactions.

Most people who know, say, a Newton as a unit know it from high-school or first-year physics. Generally those courses don&#39;t get to Bq or Ci units, and most units are single letters. Two-letter symbols are easily confused with elements or look like compound units to first blush.<br/><br/>I&#39;m in generally in favor of such a naming, I just wish we had something less confusing. Perhaps a lowercase eta? Or script N? 2024-08-26T17:19:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvk04vsclps7q06xy77rmrrrhy5d4azf5y5nt2z9lcgjnnq3e6znqzyz3a06sw95e44l3amy8lsgfkgean548auveh068fsyuq6l9gethqwxmtdd7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsganmmfqt3rs5ycqx9ht9ylxk5uv74j2m20sjhr2zm98qr24qmaesxe5959'>nevent1q…5959</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>maybe a lowercase n? 2024-08-26T12:10:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsganmmfqt3rs5ycqx9ht9ylxk5uv74j2m20sjhr2zm98qr24qmaeszyz3a06sw95e44l3amy8lsgfkgean548auveh068fsyuq6l9gethqw50tk9x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxfzmjw6hhlka39646k4vnr7p3vmf37ll8cey0ssam9n8h9f73jmsl38d5p'>nevent1q…8d5p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I honestly didn’t even see the link to the paper, overshadowed as it was by Noether’s. <br/><br/>Two-letter unit names are not awesome. We use them in a few places in physics but not much in the intro series. This may sound nitpicks but anything that makes units or math more confusing for students is something I would want to avoid. <br/><br/>All that said, I’m still pro. We need a unit, and Noether is one who deserves recognition. 2024-08-26T12:08:40Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrulzmx59ruvt7yhcez55pxa300x3p35r75l8j2nelgej969ar3cszyz3a06sw95e44l3amy8lsgfkgean548auveh068fsyuq6l9gethqwpetc37 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy5z0pmtkatuj6aszcyys05ssgrdxqg9usuarms3m57y300uzv5wg5lxvne'>nevent1q…xvne</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’d be all over this.. except there’s no good abbreviation. 2024-08-26T11:06:59Z
