I’ve long maintained that RISC-V is one of the most exciting technologies of the future… we’re starting to see that future.
Exquisite. On individual strings of monofilament, John Peralta (previously) suspends every single component of historic gadgets, from Rollieflex cameras to Singer sewing machines.

“Far from reducing food production, agri-PV actually increases yields for some crops,” says Ember analyst Paweł Czyżak. “Agri-PV combines the best of both worlds — electricity and food production, preserving precious land for agriculture, yet still enabling the energy transition to move forward, benefitting societies and economies.” https://theprogressplaybook.com/2024/09/10/agrivoltaics-come-of-age/
