Exactly. Inflation ughhh… I can’t even afford to buy two dishes a day… :(

LMAO

Tankies rlly r delusional, huh

I saw this here as well haha. However, last time I liked his videos, people didn’t seem to like it. Regardless, I guess it would be better to link his vids in the TLDR.

• A convex mirror could work, sure. A lens would be impossible to construct for the size necessary.
• I don’t get what u mean by “contrast at night”, but sure - let’s assume that you would need 5% of the power at noon. You would still need a mirror with a surface area of 5% of the area you are illuminating.

It’s so dumb uggh. Getting the same power output as the sun would need a MINIMUM surface area of the size of the area on earth it would illuminate.

So say the use case is extending daylight time in Anchorage, Alaska during winter. You would need a mirror that has MINIMUM surface area that of Anchorage. Somehow, it would need to be in an orbit that can reliably reflect light to Anchorage at all points.

Then, it would most likely be in low Earth orbit as putting it higher would require bigger mirrors. However, if u are in LEO, u are also moving incredibly fast. You would thus need an array of these super large mirrors.

All of this for what? Something that an led can do incredibly easily?

Yea, I used an LLM for the TLDR. The article was too long for me to just sit writing it haha

Yea. I can’t see why people r defending copyrighted material so much here, especially considering that a majority of it is owned by large corporations. Fuck them. At least open sourced models trained on it would do us more good than than large corps hoarding art.
