Thanks, I haven’t checked printed panels. I will take a look.

You’re right, looking for Perovskite I see publications about foil based solar panels. Thanks, I will dig some more.
- Comment on Foldable solar panels 1 day ago:
I’m not looking for existing product. I don’t think anything like this exists. I’m just wondering if it’s possible to make with existing solar panel tech. Something like rescue foil solar panel. Or does it need some plastic casing?
- Comment on Foldable solar panels 1 day ago:
That’s very close but I wonder if we can go even farther. Basically I saw people doing this:
but obviously if you look at the numbers you have to stop for hours to charge your bike and even with flexible panels you need some sort of a cart to carry them. This is because we need some durability but what if I’m only interested in single trip? Couple weeks, maybe a month. Would it be possible to make an ultra light panel that can charge my bike in let’s say an hour?

Years ago two Polish explorers went to the north pole and called the expedition “Poles at the pole”. Same year one of them (Kamiński) went to the south pole and called the expedition “A Pole at the Poles”. Your welcome.
- Comment on Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI 3 days ago:
compute power to set this up for a thousand people […], UI, IT and fine tuning by a couple data scientists/programmers trained in LLMs.
Yes, that’s what needed. It’s not just about downloading an open source LLM. That was my point. I see we agree now.
- Comment on Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI 3 days ago:
I agree that $200M is way too much to spend on a LLMs but talking about downloading open source models is completely missing the point. They are not paying for some sort of Grok license so that they can access this amazing model. They are paying for the computational capacity needed to run this model and provide access to thousands of people over some period of time. The alternative here is to simply buy everyone a subscription to OpenAI or something.

If there’s only one individual of a given species he cannot reproduce with anyone so he would be an endling at the same time.

Oh, ok, you’re saying they are more corrupt, not less. Didn’t get it.
- Comment on Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI 3 days ago:
Being corrupt does not get you territories. I just makes you waste money on never ending conflicts so that private contractors can get richer.
- Comment on What do you call the first person with a new genetic mutation 3 days ago:
Mutant.

What incompetence? It’s just the usual corruption. It’s 90% of what Pentagon does.

I don’t get it. Where’s the paradox here? He gets to see the future but turns off the machine before getting any information from it so nothing changes. What I’m missing?

- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 1 week ago:
There are millions of people in the world that are great singers. It’s just a skill. To be famous you also need good material, contacts and lots of luck.
A friend of mine used to be in a band that had it’s 15 minutes in the '90s. They broke up for some reason and years later she managed to form a new group and record an album. The contract with the label said that she had to organize the tour herself so she tried to get into some festivals but no one was really interested in this type of music. All the band members had other projects and one by one started leaving and she struggled to replace them. She was really good technically but that’s simply not enough.
- Comment on 60% of Teachers Used AI This Year and Saved up to 6 Hours of Work a Week 1 week ago:
Small models can only handle limited set of tasks. To cover a lot of different tasks you would need a lot of small models. What DeepSeek did was build a lot of small models with each acting as an expert on one topic (more or less). It’s more energy efficient to train but not necessarily to run as you have to chain a lot of small models to get good results.
What do people use LLM for? Asking questions you would normally ask Google. Google sucks now so it’s easier to ask ChatGPT. You can also use it for simple tasks like checking text for grammar errors, writing emails and so on.
- Comment on 60% of Teachers Used AI This Year and Saved up to 6 Hours of Work a Week 1 week ago:
- It’s not like the companies train one model and they use it for months until they need new version. They train new models all the time to update them and test new ideas.
- They don’t use small models. Typical LLMs offered by ChatGPT or Claude are the big ones
- They process thousands of queries per second so their GPUs are maxed out all the time, not just for few seconds.

What wouldn’t you save a fraction of a penny if you could? Out of compassion for a fellow human? That’s insane.
