I’m not sure I understand this. Small scale fluctuations are the easiest things to achieve, in fact they occur spontaneously. It’s the large scale fluctuations that would be difficult to achieve.

For example if you have a room filled with air, then changing the temperature of all the air in the room would require doing a lot of work or transferring a lot of heat to the entire room. But on the microscale, if you were to look at a random 1 micrometer cube volume of the air, then you should expect temperature fluctuations to occur all the time, even without the addition of heat or work to the room.

It’s like staring at static on a tv screen. The overall shade of the entire screen is middle gray and over time stays gray, but unsurprisingly individual pixels will fluctuate randomly between pure black and pure white. Small scale fluctuations occur spontaneously.

This is the truest shower thought I’ve ever seen

Self discovery - the journey of a lifetime

There are similar projects like this big fusion gun thing

So some kind of flexible peltier device? Could be useful for applications that need a few mW or μW of power.

Yep, makes sense. Thanks for your efforts!

Great list, thanks for putting that together!

It sounds like you’re trapped inside a media bubble that’s feeding these positions and stories to you. Don’t confuse the stories people are talking about with your own life.

There’s always been crappy stuff going on. There’s always been amazing stuff going on. The human race is not dying. Some stuff gets better, some stuff gets worse. If you hyper focus on all the bad stuff and outrage that the algorithms are shoving down your throat then you’re going to get pretty crappy. It’s like trying to live off of sugar.

Retake your agency and live your life; be yourself. Don’t go crazy obsessing over yet another doomsday scenario someone is spinning for clicks.

This emulator rocks. Anyone know of a similar emulator for TI84 Plus CE?

I believe you uncheck “Hide extensions for known file types”

Yeah you got taken by the clickbait headline just like me

Curious to see what the economics of starship will shake out to be

Those are normal crystalline panels, not tandem

Are there any perovskite/monocrystalline cells in commercial production yet anywhere in the world? I keep seeing a lot of buzz for adding a perovskite layer to crystalline silicon cells, but I’m not seeing any in actual production. Maybe I’ve missed something?

That’s rough. But now that it’s all gone, consider moving to disappearing messages. It’s kind of freeing when you don’t have to worry about the burden of immutability.

What about the past 250,000 years of lost music?

This only works if the bridge is financed as an NFT

Not enough context, impossible to answer this question.

We’re going to get a weird feedback loop soon where future AI is going to be trained on posts created by current AI, eventually poisoning the well of trainable content
