Looks like the biggest one outside China is Inda's Bhadla Solar Park at 2.2GW.
China's biggest before this looks to be Gonghe Talatan Solar Park according to Wikipedia at 10.4GW, but I couldn't find much info on it.
But this is huge either way! Glad they're investing so much into renewables and hopefully mostly skipping coal and oil all together.

Or at least not decommissioning old ones. A dollar invested into new solar or wind goes further than new nuclear right now, but we'll see if it tips more towards nuclear once the grid is a higher percentage intermittent and needs a lot more energy storage with it.
Modular nuclear reactors seem really cool though for replacing large long term generators like at construction or excavation sites.
But you can measure how much of the power of a grid is generated with fossil fuels at a particular place and time. For example, if they have more data centers where energy is cheap like from hydro or geothermal, then the carbon footprint will be less than if they were just using average power statistics.
If they're early talks, obviously they don't have plans yet.
I wonder if this is taking into account the energy mix of the particular data centers, or just using the average energy mix?
Manufacturing improvement for dry-coating the cathode and anode. Tesla currently dry coats the anode but not the cathode.
Forgiveness in exchange for favors. All sides play the leverage game.
I'm with you, but the first three only after they've been opened.
Cool! But specific energy (g/wh) and cost are always important metrics for adoption. Do they have any info on those?
Well there are a lot of these ships flying around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that rockets aren’t safe.
Just last week they crashed a hypergolic first stage crashing on/near a village. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/24/china/china-rocket-debris-falls-over-village-intl-hnk/index.html
Are they counting children? 2.6B people are under the age of 20. How are they counting money for those?
I agree, still not good, but a very useless metric.
Tianlong 3 booster static fire test lifts off instead
Scott Manley video, looks like the hold down claps may have ripped the bottom off the booster, allowing it to take off.
Relying on China for green tech long term is risky, but just slapping terrifs on it doesn't work. The US needs to heavily subsidize green energy to put it on an equal playing field. They've done it with domestic oil production since it promotes energy independence, it'd make even more sense for green energy since that's long term sustainable energy independence.
Part of the reason for not cooperating was China dropping boosters on populated areas I think.
Edit: here's a video of a hypergolic first stage crashing on/near a village a week ago. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/24/china/china-rocket-debris-falls-over-village-intl-hnk/index.html
Because of thermal efficiency of combustion cycles? Turbines are only like 30% to 40% efficient largely because of thermodynamics.
About 13M households in the US have negative net worth, so would I have more wealth than 13M US households put together? Without knowing how this figure is calculated, this seems like a meaningless metric. Though the wealth gap is definitely a problem by any metric, I don't think this metric is very helpful.
I wonder how many times this needs to be reposted and downscaled to no longer be true. It looks like this is already not the original resolution of the picture.
Solstice - 5
Stunning short film. Seems scarily plausible, we won't lose control of AI, the people in change just won't care enough to control it.
We are still flying half a ship!
Another happy landing. I can't believe starship managed to land gently after burning half the flap off!

Walking stick for your hike!
Just make sure to return them when you're done! Maybe even add a new one if you find one.
The one I used was very nice. Has a nice heft all the way down, and was very straight.

Drone footage of Sinuiju City North Korea
XiaoHao2 took these pics and videos from across the China boarder with a dgi drone in 2020. They uploaded just recently. Here's some more pics
Disable tracking on Chevy Bolt 2019
OnStar reports location and speed data to the car manufacturer. Sometimes they will sell this data to insurance companies to raise your premium, as several news stores pointed out a few weeks ago. I couldn't really find an advantage to OnStar, (I have my phone to call emergency services) so I disabled it by pulling it's fuse.
For my 2019 bolt, it's f31 in the instrument panel fuse box, just down and to the left of the steering wheel. The fuse box cover comes off when you pull it hard from the bottom.
I was able to find which fuse went to OnStar in the owners manual and labeled on the inside of the fuse box cover. You should be able to find it for your model car there too if it uses OnStar.
I did have the casualty of my speaker for calls and texts. I'm not able to use it right now. I'll see if I can dig in and reconnect it somehow, but we'll see.
Who knows that other into they're snitching back to GM, or what they could do in the future, so I recommend disconnecting it. Good luck!
Reentry looked so cool!
Amazing views, especially for live! I don't think we've ever seen reentry plasma on a live stream before.
PS, does anyone know how to get a direct link to a twitter video? I used to be able to through nitter, but that shut down. I can't figure out how to get twitter videos on lemmy directly now.
POSITRON JourneyMaker, upside Down Portable 3D Printer
Folds down to fit inside a 1kg filament box. Upsidedown let's the complicated moving bits be in the base where there's less vibration. Krylan3D originally designed this to easily take in a backpack back and forth from college, but is now hired and working on designing other 3d printers. So the community has made improvements and made it easier to make yourself. Parts cost about $550.
How much it costs to cut 1 metric ton of carbon emission with various methods for different global carbon emission levels
As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)
This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.
Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

Ancalagon the Black, by Ruben de Vela, 2010
Ancalagon the Black, the absolutely gargantuan dragon from the first age of middle earth!
This fantastic artwork is by Ruben de Vela. I think the sense of scale and immense power are remarkable.
>But Earendil came, shining with white flame, and about Vingilot were gathered all the great birds of heaven and Thorondor was their captain, and there was battle in the air all the day and through a dark night of doubt. Before the rising of the sun Earendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin. The Simarilian chapter 24

It can't be that hard, it's only two questions!

Which one would you choose?
A lightsaber stick or sword stick would also be an acceptable choice
The ornithopter design is absolutely fantastic
I love the noise it makes and how it manages to look like a helicopter and biology inspired. And the wing folded dive to get to the spice harvester is just fantastic.

TIL Bologna in Italy had dozens of towers built in the middle ages
These mini castles were built all over the city.
>The reasons for the construction of so many towers are not clear. One hypothesis is that the richest families used them for offensive/defensive purposes during the period of the Investiture Controversy.
Only a few survive to the current day.
