This is really exciting to see. I really want to understand the lifetime numbers as Perovskite is traditionally short lived (super efficient, but nowhere near as stable as silicon). Located in the Kubuqi Desert, the project spans 40 mu (2.6 hectares) and has an installed capacity of one megawatt with 11,200 perovskite photovoltaic modules. https://shanghaiist.com/perovskite-solar-project-in-inner-mongolia-connected-to-grid/
No one is surprised Artificial intelligence-powered drive-thru company Presto Automation described itself as “one of the largest labor automation technology providers in the industry,” and boasted its ability to increase sales and “save” human labor time. But according to recent filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, off-site human workers are stepping in and completing over 70 percent…
The conflation of anti-zionism with antisemitism only serves antisemites (and those who benefit from antisemitism). Conflating the two means that the energy minima here becomes antisemitism. You literally set up a slippery slope of hate. I’ve seen this on the left many times already. I was having coffee with an well known left NZ politician…
Sorry Alan… but imma gonna have to use the ‘bullshit tech’ tag for this one… Google has a lot to prove with its AI efforts — but it can’t seem to stop tripping over its own feet. Earlier this week, the tech giant announced Gemini, its most capable AI model to date, to much fanfare. In one…
One of the thoughts that I had after managing crippling anxiety, last year, was that the mental state of anxiety felt the same as the mental state of chronic pain. It’s that “playing with a cavity with your tongue” thing… where you crossed the same mental area again and again. Seems there was something in…
Good riddance. Self-checkouts are one of those consensual illusions that supermarket chains got suckered into. It never delivered on reducing shrink and, in the US, was generally a good way of getting yourself into trouble. Very customer hostile.
Profiteering has played a significant role in boosting inflation during 2022, according to a report that calls for a global corporation tax to curb excess profits. Analysis of the financial accounts of many of the UK’s biggest businesses found that profits far outpaced increases in costs, helping to push up inflation last year to levels…
Enceladus is blasting water into space from the jets at its southern pole. This makes it the ideal place to send a dedicated mission, flying the spacecraft through the plumes with life-detection instruments s. A new study suggests that a spacecraft must proceed carefully through the plumes, keeping its speed below 4.2 km/second (2,236 miles…
I’m a big fan of how Giridharadas articulates thoughts around movements. Step away from the Trump specific stuff and listen to what he has to say about building movements and the narratives the need to present: This holds true for the left every where right now.
A single individual living in Greenville, North Carolina defeats enormous global businesses with tens of thousands of employees and decades of experience—and does it repeatedly every month. But that’s exactly what’s happening. https://www.honest-broker.com/p/in-2024-the-tension-between-macroculture
