I think you’re right there. My bad.

They say the second layer retains 93% of the performance of the first using reflected light, making it 20% efficient, so, yes they are added in that case.

TLDR; the front side is 23% efficient, and the rear side 20% efficient.

They don’t actually give an overall efficiency but it implies a total of 43%. They compare this to typical panels also at 23% efficient, so it’s really remarkable if true. Other emerging solar tech is up to about 32% but if that could also benefit from multiple layers then total efficiency could become insane.

Seems a little too good to be true, really, but great if so.

Edit: Yeah, I don’t think these efficiencies can be added like that. I guess the overall efficiency will depend on how reflective the ground under the panels is, and they will extract 20% of that. Maybe that’s why they don’t give an overall rating.

I think it’s intellectually lazy to stick with the stochastic parrot line of thinking now. There’s a number of emergent properties that are appearing as LLMs scale that give them abilities beyond that paradigm. Check out the “Sparks of AGI” paper from Microsoft research - or more realistically one of the youtube summaries of it since its quite a big read… Here’s one from the horse’s mouth: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-JPB2c

Anyone who isn’t at least mildly interested that you know Morse code isn’t someone you want to know :-)

Good filter technique.

No. I only use Android as my PC via AR glasses. Is there even any antivirus software for Android? Probably, but I don’t care I guess. Never had a problem.

FYI, you are able to edit titles on the fediverse in case you want to the missing word.

The fediverse wars, begun they have.

If you make it to wherever you’re going, please let us know the story!

It feels like a lot of people new to the fediverse think it revolves around lemmy. It always feels a bit divisive to come across posts like this that single out lemmy. It would be nice if people asked about the fediverse or threadiverse or something. Don’t forget that us kbin users (among others) are browsing the same threads and partaking in the same discussions.
