Are U.S. Utilities Trying to Delay Easy-to-Use Solar 'Balcony' Panels?

Plug-in (or "balcony") solar panels can also be hung out a window or be set up in a backyard, reports NPR. They channel energy from the sun straight into a home's electrical outlet, generating enough electricity to power a refrigerator or microwave while "displacing electricity that otherwise would come in from the grid..."

But what's holding up their adoption in America?


For the panels to become more widely available in the U.S., state lawmakers are proposing bills that eliminate complicated utility co

Тысяча конфликтов и одна LLM: как мы автоматизировали переход на новые версии Chromium

Каждые четыре недели Яндекс Браузер переезжает на новую версию Chromium. Обычный пользователь этого не замечает, но для команды разработки каждый такой переход — это более тысячи конфликтов кода и, как правило, несколько тысяч ошибок компиляции.В одном обновлении сходятся около 10 000 коммитов апстрима и примерно 1500 наших изменений. В процесс вовлекаются десятки разработчиков, а суммарные трудозатраты команды на один цикл составляют несколько человеко‑месяцев.Мы хотели сократить объём этой рутинной работы Read more

Чему именно учится модель word2vec? Как она это делает? Ответы на эти вопросы мы поищем, анализируя то, как модель изучает представления данных при рассмотрении минималистичной, но достаточно актуальной задачи языкового моделирования. Модель word2vec — это широко известная предшественница современных языковых моделей. Но, несмотря на это, на протяжении долгих лет в распоряжении исследователей не было количественной прогностической теории, описывающей процесс обучения модели.

Scientists have finally cracked the mystery behind one of climate change’s strangest fingerprints: while Earth’s surface heats up, the upper atmosphere is rapidly cooling. Researchers at Columbia University discovered that carbon dioxide acts very differently high above the planet, where it actually helps radiate heat into space instead of trapping it. The team found that certain infrared wavelengths fall into a “Goldilocks zone” that becomes increasingly effective as CO2 levels... Read more
