New #blog post: Adding A Balcony #Solar Install to our garage

We've had solar for nearly 3 years now, but our easterly exposure has been niggling at me: output starts waning around lunch so the afternoon feels wasted (particularly after a cloudy morning)

So, I've added some west facing panels to the garage using a plug-in solar kit

This post talks about the install, setting up monitoring with #telegraf as well as results in the week since

Adding a Balcony Solar Kit To Our Capacity

I recently installed a balcony/plug-in solar onto (well, around) our garage to provide some additional solar capacity. This post talks about the install experience, setting up monitoring via telegraf

If you are interested in decoding the telemetry of NASA's Artemis whereabouts, have a look at the Javascript behind @ian 's page below. It's straight forward with many good comments explaining what each parameter and function is and does.

Arte zeigt in „Gute Nachrichten vom Planeten“, wie Photovoltaik das Leben der Menschen verbessern kann, etwa im ländlichen Indonesien. Die noch bessere Nachricht ist jedoch, dass auch die Geschichte und die Gegenwart der EWS in der Sendung ausführlich erzählt wird – schaut also gerne rein!

Gute Nachrichten vom Planeten - Wie können wir die Sonne clever nutzen - Die ganze Doku | ARTE

Sonnenenergie verursacht im Gegensatz zu fossilen Energien keine schädlichen Treibhausgase und kann weltweit genutzt werden. Besonders in ärmeren Regionen verbessert sie die Lebensbedingungen und eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten der lokalen Stromversorgung. Die Reihe präsentiert Menschen und Initiativen, die mit innovativen Ideen dazu beitragen, die Energiewende voranzubringen.

I suspect LLMs reinforce the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. Experts who query LLMs about their fields of expertise will *quickly* realize how wrong their output can be, how quick they are to confabulate, and how eager they are to confirm one’s biases. Sometimes, replying “No, that’s wrong, try again” can cause an LLM to generate a completely different—and often opposite—answer to the same query, which makes no sense if the LLM had *actually* worked out an independently coherent answer.

Asking an LLM to comment about a subject you know nothing about—or worse, know a little bit about—is a psychologically dangerous activity. Not only will it confirm your biases, it will do so in a way that *appears* to be objective and independent, using fallacies that lie just beyond your ability to discern. At best, you will be misled. At worst, you will begin spiraling down a path of conspiracy thinking.

Be extremely suspicious of answers that are especially satisfying; you might have just gaslit yourself.

Een van onze absolute hoogtepunten van 2025: we hebben met de Dwingeloo telescoop speciaal ontworpen signalen gezonden naar de maan. De echo's, o.a. ontvangen met de @astropeiler, leverden via correlatie een scherpe 'delay-doppler' kaart van het maanoppervlak op.
