Yeah in that context I guess it makes sense.

I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What’s the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it’s like what the Internet was invented for.
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 1 day ago:
Yeah, the company that made the article is plugging their own AI-detection service, which I’m sure needs a couple of paragraphs to be at all accurate. For something in the range of just a sentence or two it’s usually not going to be possible to detect an LLM.
- Comment on Defense of the internet (from billionaires) according to Cory Doctorow 2 days ago:
I think he’s pragmatic in the “whatever tool gets the job done” sense, but not in the “this is the job we should be doing” sense — if that makes any sense :)

I have a hard time understanding facebook’s end game plan here - if they just have a bunch of AI readers reading AI posts, how do they monetize that? Why on earth is the stock market so bullish on them?

- Comment on Biohybrid's Neural Implant Connects to the Brain With Living Neurons 4 weeks ago:
They’re culturing the mouse’s own cells, so no risk of rejection.
- Comment on Biohybrid's Neural Implant Connects to the Brain With Living Neurons 4 weeks ago:
This is an interesting question. Just about every announcement I’ve seen so far has been for a read-only interface (for example, a paralyzed person envisioning moving his hand to make a robot arm move), but this Biohybrid one specifically mentions that they applied a signal (light) to the sensor to see if the mice would respond biologically.

- Comment on what is your opinion on mastodon and other fediverse microblogging sites?? as opposed to forum-type websites 5 weeks ago:
My biggest problem with microblogging sites is that I have never been able to get a good, interesting content feed out of them without also getting lots of noise. Following hashtags usually gives me a mountain of retweets (or whatever) and trying to follow groups of related people/subject matter experts gives me lots of irrelevant content. Community-style social media forces people to more strictly categorize their content, I think.

I’d say “why on earth would they do this!?” but… we know why.
- Comment on Is the Wii good? 2 months ago:
I just replayed Super Mario Galaxy for the first time in about 10 years and it felt every bit amazing as the first time. What an incredible game.
My kids and I also still occasionally play MarioKart Wii (even though we have it in the switch too) just to use the Wii wheels :)

I love how all of the characters are scowling and have their game faces on… and then there’s Kirby, who’s like “Hi there! I’m gonna eat you and extract your power!”
- Comment on Solar PV Installations Will Reach Up To 660 Gigawatts In 2024 - CleanTechnica 7 months ago:
Yup, typically I just mentally multiply by 1000 (nice round numbers). But obviously a 100MW farm in the Sahara is going to produce more in a year than the same 100MW farm in Germany. It’d be cool to see a list on a global scale that showed a table and maybe generation vs demand curves for the area they serve. Maybe I’ll put it on my “projects I’ll never get to” list.
- Comment on Solar PV Installations Will Reach Up To 660 Gigawatts In 2024 - CleanTechnica 7 months ago:
Like capacity x capacity factor, e.g. if your 100MW site produces power 50% of the time (because of nighttime, clouds, etc) then it would produce, over the course of a year 100,000,000 x 24 x 365 x 0.5 = 438 GWh annually (very simplified).

Does anyone know of a site that tracks the typical GWh of these big installations?

- Comment on Advanced solar sail mission prepares to catch the wind in the void of space 9 months ago:
The interesting part of the article:
The new flexible polymer and carbon composite boom is coupled with a twelve-unit (12U) CubeSat built by NanoAvionics. After the mission launches atop a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand, the spacecraft will go into a Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of about 600 miles (~1,000 km) and the sail will deploy in about 25 minutes to cover an area of 860 ft² (80 m²) with the boom unfolding from the size of a hand to 23 ft (7 m) long. Once deployed, the sail will adjust the vehicle’s orbit by angling itself in relation to the solar wind.
