This is such an odd comment for people to upvote. The human body runs around 37c / 98.6f. A “room temperature” body is literally a corpse.

(Edit: I’ll leave the comment. But yes, I’m a moron.)

LCDs are all over the place, but the big issue is that this was not the cutting edge tech that people were claiming it was.

We could use the solar device as reference for a battery powered device that worked without sunlight.

Maybe this solar device could have a marker that would cast a shadow on some sort of measuring device. That device could document the sun’s relative position for that region of the earth.

Then, when we schedule a meeting between regions, people could share their relative shadow positions from their measuring devices.

My take:

Daylight savings = bad

Time zones = good

If everyone had the same clock time, we would need to know when it was morning, midday and evening for people in other locations. Scheduling stuff between locations would still suck, but it would suck differently.

Every time something like this gets posted, there are always Lemmy users crying to defederate their Lemmy instances.

But remember, the current concern is with Mastodon, NOT Lemmy. Lemmy can’t actually view the post types that Masto and Threads make. Wendy’s can post all the Threads ads they want - we’re not going to see them here. We can’t. That hasn’t been built.

Try it. Go view someone’s Mastodon account in Lemmy. You don’t see their posts.

Yes, my point remains. Even if a Lemmy instance is federated with masto or threads, the content does not appear here on Lemmy right now. It’s physically impossible. Lemmy literally has no code written to support self posts and to follow users.

For example, here is NPR’s masto account viewed through Lemmy.world. You get their name, avatar, banner, and bio….but zero content.

https://lemmy.world/u/NPR@mstdn.social

Until lemmy decides to copy Reddit’s user pages, this isn’t a problem. Federate, defederate - makes now difference for lemmy right now.

Is this really a problem for Lemmy though? Threads content isn’t going to show up here because threads doesn’t have communities, and Lemmy doesn’t allow you to follow people.

If anyone is curious about Apollo–Soyuz. This was a pretty big deal for the Cold War, scientific cooperation, etc.

Also, I’d you like Ron Moore of Battlestar Galactica fame, his alternate-timeline NASA show revolves around Apollo–Soyuz in Season 2. It’s one of the better seasons.

This also has the added layer of jailing someone who is struggling with addiction. Oof.

This poor woman needed treatment, not a manslaughter conviction.

As someone who spent hours in grad school digging through journals, abstracts like this are my biggest pet peeve.

They intentionally avoid mentioning context and practical applications that would make findings seem less grandiose, and less worthy of publication. Journals like Nature only want to publish shinny things, and institutions often only want research that gets published.

Researchers that have unlocked some legitimacy cool shit often have no problem mentioning that stuff, in laymen’s terms, at the start or end of an abstract.

The records are around the 35%-40% range in a lab. So this doesn’t actually shatter records.

But if this is something that can be easily manufactured and can impact commercial / residential, then sure, this might be interesting.

Unfortunately, this study is paywalled, and the abstract avoids getting into practical implications.

“Shatter” is a bit much considering that these are around 27% efficient and contemporary commercial panels are around 25%, and other researchers have been able to get into the mid 30s.

That said, the devil is in the details. How easy are these to reproduce and manufacture? If they’re easy and cheap to make, and we can get residential solar up from the 17-22% range that it’s at now, then that’s pretty rad.
