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
Yes, I don’t think people realise the scale of production involved. We’re currently producing about 8500 TWh of power with renewables annually (nuclear is about 2600 TWh), and adding about 585 TWh of renewables per year (this is steadily increasing). A typical nuke plant generates about 8.5 TWh annually, so we would need to be building 68 new nukes every year to keep up with renewables (at current renewable numbers). The cost and construction time is massively prohibitive for nuclear, uranium mining is pretty dirty and there’s some downsides of nuclear waste at present. Yes, there’s some emerging tech but we won’t be building many of those for some time to come.
It seems unlikely nukes are a practical path to any significant contribution to new generation required and they will continue to fall behind. They can help but they’re not the magic bullet many people seem to think. Solar, wind and hydro will dominate in the medium term. I think they will ultimately make way for geothermal to dominate, maybe via plasma deep drilling like Quaise or PLASMABit utilise to potentially make bores up to 20 km deep, which opens much of the world up to being suitable.
Fusion may become practical in the next 20 years or so, but that will also be ludicrously expensive, so also unlikely to make a meaningful contribution in the medium term either.
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.
I’m just using a Samsung S20+. You need a Samsung if you want Dex.
My phone is my sole PC and has been for about 7 months now. I use it for everything. I’m using nreal AR glasses for a massive virtual 80" screen via Dex. I use a Bluetooth mouse and mechanical keyboard. I use libre office for real work, I do development work right on the phone. I also use andronix on the phone for when I need a more full blown Linux desktop for gimp, IDEs, GIS, etc.
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.
He said not from America.
Well of course, putting it on the open internet is very intentionally making it available for everyone to see. If you don’t want everyone to see it, don’t put it on the open internet. The issue is what people do with it, not whether they can access it. Copyright forbids distributing copyrighted data. The entire point of that it is so that you can make it available to be seen but protected from people copying it. However, there is no distribution or storage of copyrighted material with an LLM - there is no copy. I think OpenAI will be OK, but these things are never certain when the big lawyers are let loose.
Distributing the training dataset, though, that could well be a problem.
For the love of God, no! It ain’t a host if it ain’t up. This will just end up being very annoying.
Presumably you can still edit your messages and replace the content via a script like people are doing on reddit?
One of the things that weighs me down is posts making me dwell on the things that weigh me down.
