science and music. and beer. and dogs.
I could have stated it better. What I meant was that the fraction of kinetic energy that is taken from the wind is so small that the total kinetic energy in the wind is probably not the important factor that changes with wind speed. The dynamics of how the lift depends on wind speed is probably much more important.
We don’t directly harvest the kinetic energy. That increase probably has to do with how the wind provides lift to the blades. Of course, you couldn’t keep increasing like that until the harvested energy is greater than the kinetic energy. But I’m sure at any wind speed we only get a tiny fraction.
Also deserts are not even nearly lifeless. A solar farm of the size needed would wipe out a lot of habitat.

I would so love to have my phone and laptop run the same operating system. Would simplify so many things.
With Google attempting to further lockdown Android, the time is ripe for Linux Mobile. Projects like this can help make it a viable alternative.
Thank you so much to everyone working on this!
I’ve not tried to make such a table myself in Libreoffice, but when I open one that someone at work made with excel, everything works as expected.
There are alternatives for everything, and most of them are better that the windows-only options. Gimp, for example, is far superior to Photoshop.
That said, some folks do have to use the crappy MS software for work. There’s nothing to be done but to pity them.
omg I just watched all of that video and it is freaking great! What a revelation. I learned so much about how AI really works, even though that is not directly the subject.
Thank you!
I don’t think more difficult is correct, just different. Take cars as an example (because I don’t know anything about the engineering of large buildings): In the 1930’s and 40’s it would have been completely impossible to design and build a 2020’s car. But the cars that they did build then were not “more difficult” to design and build.
Engineers don’t work harder when they get new tools, they just make different things.
Also a good catch.
Speediraptor just sounds silly. Not nearly as scary as velociraptor.
It should be distanceraptor / time
Otherwise the raptors cancel and you just get velocity.
I identify strongly with the frustration in this sentiment.
But you do realise the US is the foremost nuclear power in the world? Right?
That’s why the world should have done anything and everything possible to keep US from falling into fascist hands. But now it’s too late.
Pretty much every life form on Earth chews food with their face then shoves it down.
The vast majority of life forms on Earth have neither a mouth nor a face.
There’s no good reason to think aliens would be similar to animals. they could be like plants or fungus, or something entirely new.
This is the easiest chicken or egg riddle ever.
I hope you’re right.
I have doubt, but also hope.
ETA = Edit to add
Just trying to explain why my comment changed, in case anyone saw it before that LOL.
Ooooo, look at mr. “I’m sane” over here!
jk. good advice.
The pause in Calyx updates has nothing to do with Google’s fuckery, and they are not “dying.” They lost a major lead developer and decided they needed to restructure so no one would be so essential going forward.
