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

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?

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

Do you keep full copyright of your posts and comments here? Especially given the federated international nature of the platform, I’m not clear on how copyright works on Lemmy.

The LED should be expected to outlast the rest of the phone by a large margin. That said, given enough units out there, it’s statistically inevitable to get a couple with some issue that die earlier.

Total amount of heat for the entire closed system does not increase over 100% of energy used to drive the heat pump. Like you said, you just moved heat around

That’s a good video

Israel does this all the time. Prisoner / hostage swap is pretty much standard operating procedure. It’s why Hamas took hostages in the first place. Israel already traded back 240 Palestinian prisoners during the first truce back in November.

What’s going on now is negotiations. How many prisoners, exactly which ones, etc. The specific prisoners is likely the more salient point because Israel has effectively an inexhaustible source of Palestinian prisoners. It’s a renewable resource. Meanwhile Hamas needs decades to plan a border raid so it can get a few hundred hostages to trade away.

Might be worth looking at Sozi

It saves the presentation as a giant SVG in an HTML file that you can animate. Should be able to convert latex to SVG and add it in. Not sure about video.

Bait and switch

Hilarious!

Nah, buy a used guitar for $50 and try it out. Most people trying out new hobbies give up after a short time.

Great song!

What does anti Zionism mean?

The article does a decent job of going into some of the nuance about the different ways the apartheid label might or might not fit things that are thing on. But in the end who cares if we can fit a class of actions into the apartheid label?

Why don’t we just look at the actual actions that are taking place and discuss them for what they are. If Israel levels half of Gaza in intense bombing campaigns that kill tens of thousands of people, then we can see that and discuss what to do about it. Who cares if it doesn’t fit the apartheid label.

I see similar arguments every day now where people are arguing if it’s genocide or ethnic cleansing or apartheid or whatever. What does it change if you’re able to cognitively classify a set of actions with the correct label?

Maybe if you justify your favorite label then you can condemn Israel/Hamas harder, but this doesn’t actually change anything and it doesn’t lead to greater understanding. I’d actually argue that settling on your preferred label actually leads to less understanding. That’s because once you’ve categorized something to your satisfaction, you tend to become more blind to contradictory evidence.

For example, let’s say we all agree that Israel is an “apartheid state”. That label comes with a lot of baggage that’s going to color our views of future actions. We might miss out on changes in Israeli laws or courts or political leadership that contradicts the apartheid label.

Better instead to try and see things clearly as they are instead of trying to force labels onto things. This takes more effort because labels serve as cognitive shortcuts, but the result is a better understanding of what’s actually going on.

I’m sure that’s a part of what’s going on, but to claim that “this is all about oil” is highly reductive. There are many different entities involved with competing interests.
