I'm kind of fascinated by the first diagram on the page. It sits so firmly in the uncanny valley for me and I can't put my finger on why. By itself every part looks ok and normal, but as a whole it just screams AI to me. I don&#x2

Yes, they say its HDPE, but then conveniently in all their talk about sustainability, they somehow forget to talk about where HDPE actually comes from. Just that it being composed of carbon and hydrogen somehow makes it "clean". W

Sure it is. But it's also nowhere near cost competitive and so no one does. They also don't even claim they're using anything else than "normal" HDPE made from ethylene distilled from crude oil.

Which is basically HDPE (plastic) foil with limestone filler. And a whole website full of marketing that somehow never mentions that 20% of the material is non-renewable (made from petroleum products) and not biodegradable.

The prompt didn't exactly describe Indiana Jones though. It left a lot of freedom for the model to make the "archeologist" e.g. female, Asian, put them in a different time period, have them wear a different kind of hat etc. I

Idk, the models generating what are basically 1:1 copies of the training data from pretty generic descriptions feels like a severe case of overfitting to me. What use is a generational model that just regurgitates the input? I feel like the

- Germans use commas as the decimal separator, while periods are only used to separate thousands. - As stated in one of the linked mastodon posts, the abbreviation for the Deutsche Mark was DM, not DEM Also, I have no idea how the seller th

That's basically what beancount does, isn't it? You basically have all the transactions in your plaintext files, and it generates the full ledgers from those on the fly once you want to do any evaluations.

Why gatekeep cycling? As far as I am concerned, anything that gets people out of their cars and onto bicycles is a good thing. If they like it, they might still switch to a normal bicycle later. If not, they're still an a bicycle inste

> Bikes that go faster or where one doesn’t need to pedal at all need a license plate and special insurance. And, critically, they aren't allowed on bike lanes but have to be rode on the road instead, which makes them far less attra

The compound presented here is, however, not an organoaluminum compound. Those have Al-C bonds and are indeed very reactive. Aluminum formate has the Al3+-ion coordinated only by oxygen, and will certainly not exhibit the reactivity you des

PowerQuery can also use ranges inside the same worksheet as data sources. You can define either cell ranges or named tables as data sources and then use them in PowerQuery just like you would use any external data source.

As others have pointed out, LED lights for general lighting (not those RGB strips for accent lighting) use phosphors with very broad emission bands. Unlike fluorescent lamps, they don't have big gaps in the spectrum. Just a dip in the

Exactly, if you get nice CRI 95 lamps you are unlikely to have a noticeable problem with color rendition. But still beware, the CRI printed on the box (Ra) is kind of flawed since it is measured on unsaturated colors and does not include in

For normal lighting LEDs the diode itself usually emits blue light (440-460 nm). Most of the blue photons are then absorbed by the phosphor or phosphors and reemitted at longer wavelengths (yellow-green to red). This converted light mixed

I used to work with tungsten carbide cubes during my PhD thesis. They're used in multianvil high-pressure synthesis. With the right setup you can reach almost 20 GPa of pressure. Not as much as with diamond anvil cells, but you have mo

The Tank Museum (formerly Bovington Tank Museum) is also doing a long-running series of "tank chats" on their exhibits. They don't only give some very interesting details (if you're into that sort of thing) but also give
