Supercritical phase, it still changes pressure with heat, but there’s no abrupt phase transition. This increases efficiency somehow.
sCO2 turbines are like 1/30th the size of an equivalent steam turbine.
Wot if instead of boiling water, we boiled CO2, and instead of boiling CO2, we kept it at high pressure so that it never quite reached boiling or condensation?
The efficiency of any heat engine comes from the difference between hot and cold, you can’t get useful work if the water’s already boiled.
Solar thermal is kinda obsolete I thought, now China is churning out PVs for pennies.

Anime@ani.social•Anime creators received “0.0%” of Japanese government’s entertainment industry subsidies in 2024, official documents show - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish
15·1 month agoThey didnt fund the creation of anime, but they did fund distribution, localization, etc.
What I want to know is what happened to the 54% that went into live-action; did any Japanese films break out in the last few years?
Anyone got a link to the actual paper?

642·1 month agoI haven’t seen any positive response to DLSS5 except by people who literally only see shapes and colors when they look at art. IDK who thinks making random parts of scenes visually louder instead of the way the artist intended is an improvement.

0·2 months agoWhen Chomsky was asked what he corresponded with epstein about years ago, he said essentially “none of your fucking business”.
Which is such a bad answer, I am half inclined to believe he just wanted help filing his taxes and a guilty Chomsky would have the sense to lie.
70% chance the AI uses it to sound more confident, while being entirely incorrect.
It gets easier if you go 100% cold turkey for a few months; I stopped any kind of refined sugar in like 2016 and now more subtle sweetnesses stand out, and the occasion I eat things like ice cream with chocolate or a glazed jelly donut makes me physically ill.
I was recently given a monster and holy shit people drink that, by choice? Why is there so much??
