One of the things that weighs me down is posts making me dwell on the things that weigh me down.

“Despite being so common in English as to be known as the “Chinese curse”, the saying is apocryphal, and no actual Chinese source has ever been produced.” - Wikipedia

I’m located in a van in New Zealand so I only use mobile data. I pay NZ$40 (US$25) per month for “unlimited” data, which is all I can eat but capped at 1Mbps. I can stream 720p barely, but I mostly torrent. I typically use about 60-80GB a month.

I think you’re right there. My bad.

They say the second layer retains 93% of the performance of the first using reflected light, making it 20% efficient, so, yes they are added in that case.

TLDR; the front side is 23% efficient, and the rear side 20% efficient.

They don’t actually give an overall efficiency but it implies a total of 43%. They compare this to typical panels also at 23% efficient, so it’s really remarkable if true. Other emerging solar tech is up to about 32% but if that could also benefit from multiple layers then total efficiency could become insane.

Seems a little too good to be true, really, but great if so.

Edit: Yeah, I don’t think these efficiencies can be added like that. I guess the overall efficiency will depend on how reflective the ground under the panels is, and they will extract 20% of that. Maybe that’s why they don’t give an overall rating.

I think it’s intellectually lazy to stick with the stochastic parrot line of thinking now. There’s a number of emergent properties that are appearing as LLMs scale that give them abilities beyond that paradigm. Check out the “Sparks of AGI” paper from Microsoft research - or more realistically one of the youtube summaries of it since its quite a big read… Here’s one from the horse’s mouth: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c

Oh nice. An entire language that is write-only.

Anyone who isn’t at least mildly interested that you know Morse code isn’t someone you want to know :-)

Good filter technique.

No. I only use Android as my PC via AR glasses. Is there even any antivirus software for Android? Probably, but I don’t care I guess. Never had a problem.

At risk of running against the obvious tide here, if you take the word “skilled” literally then of course everyone becomes skilled in whatever job they do. However, here “skilled” is used not literally, but in the sense of the industry term that means the job generally requires formal training and/or qualification before employment.

Edit: Not to say I don’t think it’s not a demeaning term (possibly intentionally so). It’s a sucky word but let’s not allow ourselves to become overly indignant by misconstrueing the sense of the term used.

This may be a silly question, but what is wrong with lemmy for this purpose? You’re already there, friend.

Presumably you can still edit your messages and replace the content via a script like people are doing on reddit?

Why can I not find this. We are talking kbin here, right?
