- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 4 days ago:
They had around 100% market share just a few years back.
Losing half the market in 3-4 years is a huge change for any company, even if some of it was inevitable as rivals caught up and suprassed their offerings.

- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 6 days ago:
The article makes it very clear its running continuously, which is what they are celebrating. They have successfully changed out its full while operating, which is a huge part of the “continuous.”
- Comment on ‘No quick wins’: China has the world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor 6 days ago:
“No quick wins” is some weird editorializing OP. That phrase is nowhere on the article.
The closest thing to it is that China managed this breakthrough due to “strategic stamina,” i.e it took time to make this work.
Overall, this is a huge accomplishment, especially if China is willing to share the design. Even if they aren’t, this should dramatically ramp down China’s fossil fuel usage over the next couple of decades, so its still a win for the test of us.

Fascism is when government and corporate powers fully mix.
So literally yes. This is proto-facism, writ large.
- Comment on Solar Panel Questions 1 week ago:
Glad to help. I’ve been investigating my own solar install, so have been digging into the specifics a lot.
Note that the above are the “best case” numbers. Panels can put out less power for lots of reasons. They tend to lose a little bit of efficiency when they get older. Think 1%/year, but that’s just a rule of thumb. Being dirty can affect them, cloud cover, angle and position, and hilariously counterintuitively, if they get too much sun. Solar panels get less efficient the hotter they are, so an especially sunny day will lower the power output.
Leads to some complex math to optimize, but honestly its power that just hits your house for free. That’s a fine thing in any circumstance.
- Comment on Solar Panel Questions 1 week ago:
Looks like the model name is the wattage. Your panels are wach making 275w. With 14 of them, the max power they will generate is 3850w, or 3.8Kw.
That means if you have one gour of full sunlight hit your panels, it will generate 3.8kw of power. If you go to this site it will estimate how many sunlight hours your roof will get per year. Multiple the sunliht hours by 3.8Kw to find your total possible power generation per year.
To find out how much you’ll save, you need to know how much a Kwh costs from your local power company, likely between $0.10-$0.30/kwh.
So just with made up totals, if you get 1000hrs of sunlight/yr, you will generate 3,895kwh. At $0.10/kwh, you’ll save $389.5/yr.
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 2 weeks ago:
In wall power cables need to be rated for it to prevent fire risks. This will need to have thick insulation or be made of a fire resistant material.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 — Nvidia says it has 10x the graphics power of original Switch 2 weeks ago:
The “10x” is via AI created fake frames too. Its a common Nvidia marketing trope, so not suprising.
Its a 7 year old console at this point, so gpu power is way up, but Nintendo always goes cheap with their hardware. I would guess actual GPU improvements are more like 3x-5x, which puts it in line with maybe the last gen of other consoles.

- Comment on UK greenhouse gases fall again - as renewable electricity hits 50% for the first time 3 weeks ago:
China is by far the world’s largest installer of renewables. They are outpacing the rest of the world combined.
They are also the largest installer of dirty power like coal/oil. Ideally, and it sure looks like it from their recrbt power investments, they view coal/etc as stop gaps.

Biblically accurate angles are nightmare fuel.
Angels described in the bible aren’t people with pretty bird wings. They are oscillating, intersecting ribbons of eyes, pulsing and shifting and glowing.
- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 4 weeks ago:
At the same time, a lot of the most famous YouTubers/etc are also deeply formulaic. They copy the same trends, use the same formats, and post the same kind of videos.
Gaming YouTubers flock to the same game at the same time or just play the ones that get big views like minecraft/etc, cooking youtubers are all doing “viral remakes” or “rate these 45 types of chicken nugget” or “eat the menu” videos/etc.
There are always solid people doing their own thing, but the social media zeitgeist is just recycled, low effort, high engagement garbage, just like netflix.

Cheddar, swiss and parm tend to be very low lactose based on how they are made too.
Likely not low enough for someone with a bad allergy, but mostly fine for run of the mill lactose intolerance.

- Comment on Comments from multiple posts on the same page 5 weeks ago:
That’s a pretty good methodology. Threads are still distinct, but all on the same page. Hopefully lemmy can implement somtjing similair.
I would reduce the distinctiveness, personally. Lemmy/reddit/etc commonly have separate subthreads on thr same page, so its not like it needs to be a prominent feature that each subthread is from a different comm. Note it maybe, but less prominent seems better.

- Comment on This queue for the new swasticar 1 month ago:
In the US, they are always cops, on duty or off. That’s why lots of places like hiring them for security. They can instantly arrest people, justified or not, and can often carry a gun where other people are not allowed to.
We have nothing resembling actual enforcement of law here.

They should put “arrives” in quotes, not Jetsons.
If you can’t buy this or even see it operating, it hasn’t arrived anywhere. Just more “home robots are really here this time guys, really i mean it this time, really. Give us billions and you’ll get one, for real.”

A magnet sufficiently strong enough to levitate a human based on the water in the body is more likely to remove the water from the body instead.
I have a strong but as of yet untested theory that no human will ever levitate based magnitized internal human water.
