“They’re just holes with water”

Welcome to the rabbit hole of energy storage.

Turns out nobody cares about the capacity but about the discharge rate. Which is why you’ll often hear about how many Gigawatts a certain energy storage project has, and nothing about GWh.

If you think about it for a bit, it does make sense. A lot of solutions would take days to fully discharge, so you might think “oh we have an entire city’s energy consumption for a week in some storage”, but in reality you could maybe power one neighborhood with that cuz of the discharge rate.

So, capacity refers to the “output capacity”.

You’re only allowed to have post-nut clarity in capitalism if you have earned a lot or better yet once you have a stable passive income. Otherwise, it’s money-horney talking in you.

And most of the days that’s what lemmy sounds like “I never had sex, this attractive guy has slept with too many girls, we gotta make sure there’s an equal distribution of girls among all of us”.

We can still talk about how that situation is unfair, but you’ll never convince me that you’re neither jealous nor horny.

if this is how you interview, your company sux.

Your fellow tech bro with a big fat tech job.

It’s a rudiment of a society where artificial light was a scarcity, so people worked during the daylight.

But also these days you can easily get a job with a flexible schedule and spend your mornings enjoying the sun, and then work till the late evening.

culture is the collective reaction

No it’s not. Iceland has a 4-days work-week, average annual working hours in Germany are 1.3k, in France 1.5k, in the US 1.7k

This is like if France had a 4.5-days work-week and Germany a 4-days work-week. Are those countries lacking the level of technological advancement that US has?

Exactly. The author checks his mails at breakfast, promotes himself on insta while on vacation and works overtime. While folks in Europe try a 4-days work-week. The author clearly fails to recognize a cultural problem.

Disagree. I coded up a matrix inverter that provided a step-by-step solution, so I don’t have to invert them myself by hand. It was considerably more effort than the mind-boggling task of doing the assignment itself. Additionally, at least half of the satisfaction came from the simple fact of sticking it to the damn system.

My brain ain’t doing any of your dumb assignments, but neither am I getting a less than an A. Ha.

I was sure this was 196. But Apparently not

And yet simulation theory has a very reasonable merit.

And if it were to turn out true, you’d also have to admit that OOPs argument was hogwash. Actually, it is either way.

If you can’t logic better than religious people, then you’re the problem.

No boomer reads whatever you, regular lemming, are reading.

Please elaborate how you believe a non-democratic take over of the ruling power (to establish socialism, or whatever) will lead to a better outcome for everyone or “majority”.

After that we can discuss what implicit societal welfare function you were improsing, and why you insist individuals are unable to exercise their free will to collectively optimize the same welfare function given that it’s supposedly in their best interest. We’re assuming a functioning democracy here.

Independent journalism is dead because journalists need to be paid. And you guys celebrate this? Yeah, sure, keep reading your “free” news. Just remember to ask yourself who do you think is paying for it and why.

No, it makes it zero disgusting. It’s a person making a passionate calling. She simply calls for others to follow their steps, she’s a woman and a mother, and believes everything she says, and is probably happy and fulfilled and is wishing that to others.

You seem to be triggered af by literally everything and can’t see when someone’s heart is in the right place regardless of whether you agree with them or not.

Maybe that snowflake term your older generation used was correct. Cuz, frankly, you guys act like a bunch of rebellious teenagers. Kinda cringe.

Oh, I’m an atheist, feminist, child-free, I don’t have a tweeter, and where I live abortions are legal. And you’re cringe even to me.

And if you do want children and are fulfilled living a life dedicated to making and raising them, you’re also still valid.

In fact, that would be an accomplishment, while simply existing isn’t. But this planet got an overpopulation problem, so if all you wanna do is continue simply and unimportantly existing while also not procreating, I’d say, go ahead.

Interest in solar panels has skyrocketed, and yet at least 50% of the world population won’t stop driving ICE cars to work every day any time soon. While the ocean surface temperatures are on an exponential trajectory.

A climate catastrophy with mass deaths is inevitable. I’d be preparing instead of sugar-coating.

And after a few billion humans die, we can deploy solar panels and start living sustainably.

Approximately the phrase with which JD starts the Scrubs.

Because engineering is precise, measurable, and easily reproducible. You should be testing your things in a way that all you need is a simple two-sample Z-test.

Experiments on the humans, on the hand, unfortunately, have been outlawed. So all you get is a bunch of shitty noisy data, and yet you’re supposed to somehow make sense of it. Most people with a degree in stats would tell you not to even try, and yet those fucks at phycology departments always do while having had about one undergrad-level class as part of their masters.

TL;DR good psychology programs nowdays train decent statisticians as they should.

Damn, looks like an elaborate course in probabilistic graphical models, sign me up!
