What is the physics or math behind that? Light from the sun is essentially aligned by the time it reaches earth. If the mirror is perfectly reflective, a 10 m^2 mirror should light up a patch of Earth roughly 10 m^2 times the cosine of the angle of the mirror. So unless the angle is close to 90°, most of the losses would be from poor reflectivity.
I totally agree it’s a stupid idea. But maybe it’s even worse than I am thinking of?

It looks like a shitty campaign website. The sad sad man changed the seal of the office and put an eagle (because books are lame I guess) and “free state of florida” at the bottom like that’s a real thing. Can’t believe this works on people.

If the bidet is pushing the water into your colon you either need to use lower pressure or do some butthole exercises to seal that fucker up.
hobovision@mander.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open sourceEnglish3·10 days agoYou’re saying th AI bubble has popped because even more smaller companies and individuals are getting in on the action?
Thats kind of the definition of a bubble actually. When more and more people start trying to make money on a trend that doesn’t have that much real value in it. This happened with the dotcom bubble nearly the same. It wasn’t that the web/tech wasn’t valuable, it’s now the most valuable sector of the world economy, but at the time the bubble expanded more was being invested than it was worth because no one wanted to miss out and it was accessible enough almost anyone could try it out.
Are you really going to change the fuse in the receptacle when you plug a different cable in?
Low amp rated extension cords are dangerous unless they have a fuse in the cable. Best practice is to always use a cable that is rated higher than the circuit breakers.

Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?

No joke that’s why I don’t like heated seats except on the very lowest setting (which is till sometimes too high). Feels like sitting in a puddle of warm piss.
I just want vented seats for those days where the seat material gets so hot, because to get any decent features in most new cars you HAVE to get the “leather” instead of fabric.

hobovision@mander.xyzto Games@sh.itjust.works•Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.English5·28 days agoThe problem is that they are a cartel, so we get in a place where a group of private businesses can dictate who can make money.
I think it’s a great idea in theory that as a payment processor you can have influence on social changes. I think businesses should have clear ethics so that I can support those that match my own. If there were 50 processors to choose from that all had niches and different ethics, fine. But we have in reality one processor with finger puppets on asking us which puppet we like best.
But then it won’t matter. The problem is that this looks like ass and didn’t need to be made with an AI image generator. It could easily be made with any free word processor and a picture of an embryo found anywhere.
But it could absolutely start generating text related to revolutionary ideas. Surely, given that they feed it any scrap of text they can find, it has injested the works of many a revolutionary author such as Jefferson, Marx, etc.
