1·5 days agoNo. Solar on my roof is more affordable than to buy same solar juice for 0.3 EUR/kWh from the power company. So much that my infrastructure ROIs over less than two years.

The rogue AI will be the P2P network.

0·6 days agoYou can aggregate spare LLM capacity in a collaborative p2p fashion. But my reasons would be to use spare PV capacity to run an uncensored model during daytime with full privacy.

science@lemmy.world•Semiconductor breakthrough overcomes major challenge in capturing solar energyEnglish
1·7 days agohttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-11223-x
Abstract
Kirchhoff demonstrated the reciprocity between absorptivity and emissivity for blackbody radiation in 1860 (ref. 1), thereby establishing the general principle that a good absorber must also be a good emitter. This principle underpins the generalized Planck’s law2 and, when applied to semiconductors—in the form of the van Roosbroeck–Shockley equation3—results in substantial limitations to solar energy conversion. Here we demonstrate how this reciprocity can be circumvented in semiconductors, such as bismuth sulfide, showing a pseudo-direct bandgap character—that is, featuring a lower-energy indirect transition paired with a direct transition placed a few kBT above. After determining the pseudo-direct bandgap nature of bismuth sulfide, we reveal how this feature substantially retards bimolecular electron–hole recombination in this material with respect to classic direct semiconductors4. The resulting combination of a high absorption coefficient and delayed recombination offers the unprecedented possibility of overcoming limitations associated with Planck’s law, with far-reaching potential for solar energy conversion.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[AIT] what is your selfhosted local LLM stack?English
1·13 days agoIt’s a standing on the shoulders of giants thing. That’s how humanity have been making progress historically.
People running local LLMs with open weights abliterated models, especially with solar PV power (perhaps not as rare as you think, I’m upgrading my solar PV system in the next couple weeks for that explicit purpose), is about freedom and privacy. At some point there should be enough of them to link up into a grid over the Internet, collaborate or donate resources to distributed community projects. This is a way to allow for the “pillaged” content to pay back for itself.
Do you have qualms with public pirate libraries, like SciHub and LibGen, too? These have also been used for training LLMs.
