In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily
  • They're equal if they're running at a 1c discharge rate. Lfp, which are stable and good for safety, can have higher discharge rates of 5c up to 25c. Which would mean the capacity would be much less. To compare apples to apples, it'd be much better if they gave both the GW and GWh numbers.

  • Then say the country with the latest prison population, not the highest incarceration rate, since the latter just isn't true.

    Do any non-corpos actually like AI slop?
  • I thought it was pretty fun to play around with making limericks and rap battles with friends, but I haven't found a particularly usefull use case for LLMs.

    Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to heat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room?
  • Most all forms of heating are near 100% efficient, since it's the waste heat you want. Unless the central heating is using a heat pump instead. Does your central heating use gas heating? If so, using it will probably be cheaper. If it uses resistive heating, the individual unit might be cheaper. But if it uses a heat pump, it might be cheaper to use central again. There are a lot of variables it's hard to know.

    Ian Davis has been working since he lost his fingers to design and build a mechanical hand. He's now looking for other amputees to help him test the design. It's a really cool project, I love following his progress!

    Is there a way to get villagers with separated arms on bedrock? Would I need to write my own addon? I don't see anything built for that currently.

    My end goal would be to get villagers to look like dwarfs, like this resource pack.

    Tin in solder or some other meals can form spiky crystals when under stress. These whiskers can form short circuits if not properly insulated or not alloyed with other metals.

    Stunning short film. Seems scarily plausible, we won't lose control of AI, the people in change just won't care enough to control it.

    Another happy landing. I can't believe starship managed to land gently after burning half the flap off!

    Just make sure to return them when you're done! Maybe even add a new one if you find one.

    The one I used was very nice. Has a nice heft all the way down, and was very straight.

    OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.

    For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.

    I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.

    I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.

    Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!

    Amazing views, especially for live! I don't think we've ever seen reentry plasma on a live stream before.

    PS, does anyone know how to get a direct link to a twitter video? I used to be able to through nitter, but that shut down. I can't figure out how to get twitter videos on lemmy directly now.

    Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.

    As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)

    This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.

    Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

    Ancalagon the Black, the absolutely gargantuan dragon from the first age of middle earth!

    This fantastic artwork is by Ruben de Vela. I think the sense of scale and immense power are remarkable.

    >But Earendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin.
