Is the decade long transition period really over?

These numbers seem really small compared to all the headlines I’ve seen over the years. I expected Chile to be closer to 99% if it’s the leading country in solar power.

You can choose to browse all, local or subscribed. My guess is, you don’t spend much time checking the subscribed feed if you end up seeing stuff you don’t care about. It’s true that pretty much everything in the “all” menu is irrelevant stuff I don’t want to see, so I don’t really check that place very often.

If the vegans there can’t take a joke, they aren’t very chill. However, being intentionally offensive and rude shouldn’t be tolerated, even if it’s a chill place.

It’s a tradition at this point. If you post an infographic about unix/linux system folders, you’re obliged to avoid all modern sources. Preferably, you would use material that is at least 20 years old.

If the system works and makes financial sense, then it could help with energy storage, which would be awesome.

The material appears to be cheap, but obviously you would need a lot of it. Storing meaningful amounts of hydrogen in anything other than a high pressure tank takes ridiculous amounts of space.

If this technology was applied at an industrial scale - and you should - a storage facility could be as large as an open pit mine. Large scale production of renewable energy already requires plenty of space, so many such facilities are already located in remote places. If you also add energy storage to the plan, you’ll just need even more space than initially expected, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right? I mean, you’re already building in the middle of nowhere, so there’s plenty of space.

I see a lot of comments about a particular vegan community. Sounds like people here need something like c/chillVegans where you don’t get kicked out unless you’re a total menace.

“Ambient temperature“ is even vaguer. We should start referring to different things as ambient temperature when talking about hot and/or cold things.

Maybe one day I’ll get a Cahill-Keyes projection on the wall. I think it’s useful to see how surface areas compare.

It’s great for navigating at sea, but bad for looking at the world as a whole. Nowadays most people use maps for the latter; hence the complaints.

It’s called research. You search for something, can’t find it, so you try again; hence the prefix.

My guess is, the map of North Africa is really rough, because nobody actually put in the years of research time to produce a detailed map. Haven’t really tried looking for a better version, so if you find one, that bit of evidence can prove me wrong instantly. If that’s the case, the map we see here is a simplified version meant for internet audiences.

Norwegians seem lo love linguistic about as much as Finns do. Because of this enthusiasm, people have been making extremely detailed dialect maps for decades. My guess is that these two countries are the exception and the rest of the world focuses on funding other types of research.

Either way, NASA is already exploiting it. I guess, next they’ll find a way to glitch through the very fabric of the universe to teleport to a distant galaxy without moving at all or even using any energy.

Yeah, I guess that’s the only reason they haven’t done that already. Although, I’m pretty sure that eventually some ultra cheap airline company will optimize the hell out of everything like boarding efficiency, take-off weight and everything to make the tickets as cheap as possible.

Your skin can (kinda sort of) sense temperature, but what about the muscle, fat and bone that sits below the skin? If those parts get suddenly heated up, would you even notice before it’s too late? If not, this could lead to some serious damage.

What the airline company really care about is weight. To address that, they could charge you by the kilogram. If you’re heavy or bring lots of stuff with along, you would need to pay extra. This would encourage people to bring as little as possible or send their stuff to the destination through some shipping company.

That keyboard thing was pretty clever. I would not have thought of that.

Humans aren’t always very good at that, and LLMs were trained on stuff written by humans, so here we are.

An LLM needs to evaluate and modify the preliminary output before actually sending it. In the context of a human mind that’s called thinking before opening your mouth.
