Solar Panels Are Starting to Die, Leaving Behind Toxic Trash

 https://www.wired.com/story/solar-panels-are-starting-to-die-leaving-behind-toxic-trash  Solar Panels Are Starting to Die, Leaving Behind Toxic Trash   Photovoltaic panels are a boon for clean energy but are tricky to recycle. As the oldest ones expire, get ready for a solar e-waste glut.   This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Solar panels are an increasingly important source of renewable power that will play an essential role in fighting climate change. They are also complex pieces of technology that become big, bulky sheets of electronic waste at the end of their lives—and right now, most of the world doesn’t have a plan for dealing with that. But we’ll need to develop one soon, because the solar e-waste glut is coming. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects that up to 78 million metric tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life, and that the world will be genera...

GPT-3, Bloviator: OpenAI’s language generator has no idea what it’s talking about

Unsplash Since OpenAI first described its new AI language-generating system called GPT-3 in May, hundreds of media outlets (including MIT Technology Review ) have written about the system and its capabilities. Twitter has been abuzz about its power and potential. The New York Times published an op-ed about it . Later this year, OpenAI will begin charging companies for access to GPT-3, hoping that its system can soon power a wide variety of AI products and services. Is GPT-3 an important step toward artificial general intelligence—the kind that would allow a machine to reason broadly in a manner similar to ...

'A serious problem': Asymptomatic cases may place Indonesia at 1m infections

 https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/a-serious-problem-asymptomatic-cases-may-place-indonesia-at-1m-infections-20200803-p55i5v.html   'A serious problem': Asymptomatic cases may place Indonesia at 1m infections Indonesia is likely to have hit one million cases of coronavirus already - nearly 10 times its official number - two of the country's leading epidemiologists say. Australia's giant northern neighbour has officially reported 113,134 cases and 5302 deaths as of Monday evening, but testing rates remain very low, at about 12,000-17,000 people per day. But Dr Pandu Riono, a University of Indonesia epidemiologist and Dr Dicky Budiman, who has 20 years experience tackling pandemics including SARS and HIV and has worked for the ASEAN secretariat and the World Health Organisation, suggest the number of cases is likely to be one million. Indonesia’s ability to control the coronavirus outbreak is hugely consequential for its key strategic partner and ally Australia...
