Actually, I am very lazy, thank you.

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.
OruxMaps (android) supports several navigation methods, kml overlays, offline maps, various online and custom maps, good tracking, routes, gps, etc, etc. Waaay better than Google maps - although it can also happily use Google maps.
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.
That sounds much like the “just asking questions” excuse. As a writer you should know the power of words and how the nuances of their meaning affect the message. Dismissing the meaning of your words with the excuse of just “throwing words around” is dangerous and frankly shameful for any writer who isn’t a hack.
Edit: maybe I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. You’re good, but that did not resonate well with me.
It seems likely, even highly likely, but not “definitely”. Making absolute claims without supporting evidence is the sort of thing that antivaxers do.
It’s not like it needed further proof. It’s clearly happening. The latest starlink sats are better, and we need to continue to minimise it where we can, but the problem is not going away. Not much point in complaining really. For a lot of the science it’s not a huge problem since it can be removed from the data, but it’s terrible for astro-photography.
FYI, you are able to edit titles on the fediverse in case you want to the missing word.
This may be a silly question, but what is wrong with lemmy for this purpose? You’re already there, friend.
The Khan academy approach to ai-assisted learning looks amazing and it’s just a first attempt. I think having individual, endlessly patient AI tutors leading each student via the Socratic method will revolutionise teaching. Teachers actually have more time to socialise with the students, so fears that ai learning would deprive children of the social interaction may be put to rest. It looks really promising.
I think a mobile phone camera is vastly superior to these, although might not be great at night vision for the reasons you said, but is it entirely crazy to not just use a spare phone? It has built in backup power, can store videos locally if there is an internet outage, and can use its own data connection if wifi is not available.
