New Solar Tech Makes Desalinating Seawater Cheaper Than Producing Bottled Water

Engineering teams around the world have been attempting to develop new methods of seawater desalination.

Scientists in China have developed a more efficient form of solar desalination that uses 47.4% less energy than alternatives. After the first year of testing, the scientists believe that at scale it would be able to desalinate water more cheaply than producing bottled water.

The goal is now to scale the technology for use in coastal areas and islands experiencing water insecurity.

The worst types of cookbook:

The Ottolenghi - it is vital that you use 1g of this very expensive ingredient. It comes from a 500g bag with a one-week shelf life.

The time machine - 15-minute recipe! First, leave to marinate overnight...

The dishwasher - one-pot recipe! Now decant your ingredients and wipe out your pot. And again. And again. And again.

The optimist - cook the onions until caramelised (2 minutes).

The kindergarten teacher - get one nommable little tree of broccoli and bosh that into boiling water. Delish!

The brand names only - ingredients: Ritz crackers, Philadelphia cheese, Cool Whip, orange Jell-o...

The 1950s palate - use one (1) clove of garlic and a small pinch of chili flakes (omit if preferred).

The why bother with a cookbook - to make beans on toast, gently heat a tin of beans and put on top of freshly buttered toast.

The Manic Orthorexic - Flash sautee your single origin organic heirloom vegetables in a carbon fiber steel wok (never aluminum!) with an ounce of (distilled!) water. Season with three grains of non-iodized Japanese sea salt, as much flaxmeal, wakame and sesame seed "cheese" as you want, and finish with 3 ml cold pressed greek olive oil. Remember: Cheese is worse than heroin. Butter is the antichrist. White rice, wheat and potatoes killed my entire family with hammers. If your produce isn't grown within 2 miles of your house you'll probably die. Sugar [book bursts into flames and emits a shrieking noise]

[thetrashiestoftrash]

Grandma's notes - list of ingredients, cook "until it's done." At least one vital ingredient is missing.

The artifact - you absolutely need this one specific thing that hasn't been available in your country for decades

The helping hand - put it in your stand mixer (see also: "air fryer" or "instant pot")

The prepared - easy and quick! Start with diced onions, peppers seeded and chopped, peeled and deveined shrimp, peeled minced garlic (variant of the time traveler)

The gimmick - over two dozen cookie recipes that you can bake on the hood of your car! No one will know the secret ingredient to this cheesecake is beef liver! These cocktails are all bar standards that I've named after Pokemon!

The artificial idiocy - Two cups rhubarb, sliced. Two slash three cups granulated rhubarb. One tablespoon all-purpose rhubarb. One teaspoon grated orange rhubarb. Three tablespoons rhubarb, on fire. One large rhubarb.

As it becomes more and more implied in Deltarune that Sans may end up being transported to the Undertale timeline, the more funny it gets to me that MatPat's infamous "Sans is Ness" theory was actually essentially on the right track long before Deltarune was even revealed.

[wasabikitcat]

Like, the Earthbound and Ness part aside, iirc the theory essentially consisted of "Sans is from an alternate timeline; he says "you'll never see em again" in his lost soul dialogue, which alludes to relationships he left behind in the previous timeline. The "Don't Forget" note with three figures was a drawing of people he knew in the previous timeline, whom he does not want to forget, and the other things in his lab may have also been taken from the previous timeline." This is essentially the same theory as Sans being from the Deltarune timeline, he was just missing the final piece, the timeline Sans would've come from, which he couldn't have known at the time. He was even on the right track with the choice of relating this to the Halloween Hack, a ROM hack made by Toby, because the timeline that Sans may have come from was actually another game by Toby Fox - and the Halloween Hack does share some interesting similarities with Deltarune. It's just incredibly funny to me because the theory seemed like a huge reach at the time and everyone made fun of it, but he did genuinely pick up on things and interpreted them in a way that was not the same as the fanon consensus at the time, and ended up actually being closer to the likely truth with those interpretations after all.

like it just doesnt make any economic sense. replacing human labor with ai only makes sense if the output is as good or better and cheap as free. but just the fact that you have to build the massive data centers at all-- especially that gpus go bad in just a few years, but even if they didn't, the facility itself is going to be a big expense-- means it cant be cheap as free. they were banking on an uber type situation where they could crank up the prices once people switched to their business model, but the trade is literally "this will be cheaper than using human labor" so if it's not cheaper than human labor then people will just hire people again. and it's not even as good or reliable as a person. so while ai is "here to stay" in the sense that the technology exists and will find its niches, probably people are going to be sexting with them forever just maybe on local models, the current business model cannot survive and never possibly could.

it's all desperation. i do really believe ed zitron's rot economy idea, that the tech sector has been searching for a new internet or iphone or whatever that blows up and changes the world and they get to keep the profits so they'll uplift any garbage (hence nfts and the metaverse) to try and astroturf that. and relatedly, i think nvidia and the cloud compute companies and the ai companies are just passing the same dollar back and forth to create big numbers that paper over how bad the economy really is. it's all an attempt to keep the infinite growth hack going.

like i actually think all of the problems with ai are problems that already existed that are just getting a huge spotlight on them because of the massive reckless expansion and apocalyptic marketing. like people are cheating on essay assignments? no shit, they used to use fiver and other cheating services. higher ups are devaluing and trying to get rid of creatives? yeah, we've been talking about how vfx artists need to unionize for over a decade, especially people working on marvel movies. people with mental health problems are turning to the internet instead of getting support or medical assistance and end up hurting themselves as a result? yup, especially when it comes to like eating disorders, there are some really awful places that will validate you into the grave. data centers use a lot of energy and water? yeah, they also did that before they were used for ai, they do that for youtube and twitch, and tech in general is a massive source of pollution. politicians arent listening to their constituents' needs and demands, instead handing money and special privileges to corporations that wont keep up their end of the bargain? yeah, i remember the public transit proposals cancelled to hand money instead to elon and his terrible tunnels. like it all already existed, they're just doing it so much so quickly that people can actually see it in front of them

Uploading a 7 hour archive of as much Chuck E. Cheese lost twitch content as I can find, and just wanted to note Chuck took the time to pose at a gay and transgender island entrance

I think if any of the current leadership saw this today they'd probably murder that employee on stream

i think the way the soul is meant to work in deltarune is that from kris' perspective it just does things with no rhyme or reason, and it's completely unpredictable. you know, like some sort of cosmic horror being. but i will never not love comics and shit where the soul is an active character whose thoughts and words can be heard by kris so they gets glimpses into a dimension where jerma exists

Not to oversimplify a complex issue, but i think we could reduce the number of deadly car crashes by increasing wages and having shorter work weeks.
