@… hello! What plays as frequency source in your power backup setup with the battery of you EV as primary energy source?
I'm no electrician. From my understanding we have something like diesel generator that does not work in sync with the grid, and DC/AC converters that we want to be able to run in sync with the grid and off the grid. And as far a…

A centralized intelligence database on all Americans is not inherently legal.
It likely breaks the Privacy Act of 1974, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments.
This must be stopped. Contact your Senators and Representative and ask them to stop it. I use @… to call mine.

Trump Taps Palantir to Create Master Database on Every American
Trump’s dystopian plan is already underway.

Oh god, the picture invokes some very mousetrap-adjacent vibes, in the @… sense of the word. https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/114440131512138899

@… @… Possibly forking, but building from scratch appeals to me. (Except the UI part, which is the main reason I'm not doing it.)
I have opinions about how this kind of thing should work. Specifically, I don't want a "read i…

Does rainfall create buoyant forcing at the ocean surface?
Rain affects the buoyancy of the upper ocean in two ways: The freshwater flux in rain makes the water fresher and lighter, stabilizing the ocean (a negative buoyancy flux). The convective systems that produce rain are often accompanied by cold, dry air, often called 'cold pools', and reduced short-wave radiation, which makes the water colder and heavier, destabilizing the ocean (a positive buoyancy flux). We estimate net buoyancy fluxes using in situ measurements from twenty-two moored buoys in…

In statistics, when you have a population parameter (the "true" value of a statistic in frequentist parlance) the general notation is to use a Greek letter to represent the value:
ϕ
when you estimate a parameter you put a caret on top of the Greek symbol to indicate you have estimated a value. This is pronounced "hat" so the value below would be "Phi hat." (not sure this comes out well on mastodon, but the caret is supposed to be on top of the phi)
