Pin this tweet. There's probably a rich future for #LLM's in assisting reviewers, if not supplanting them

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Fascinating: How good is GPT-4 as a peer reviewer?

A test on 4,800 Nature + ICLR papers finds AI reviewers overlap with human ones as much as humans overlap with with each other

Plus, 57% of authors find them helpful. A flawed but useful tool for authors https://t.co/Y7KqTNhhqm

#Solar colleagues, I'm amazed by the energy of the crowd and the exhibitors. Even though it felt a little subdued compared to the chaos of Tuesday, y'all had dozens of conversations and walked thousands of steps! Well done!

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

Is the numbering of booths at RE+ inane? Navigation has been really hard this year.
Still, kudos to the industry for appearing in mass for what's probably the biggest #SOLAR event in the U.S.

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

Predictions are hard. Especially when they are about the future. Maybe even more when they are about electric load in circuits with a lot of distributed #solar!
Join us in #REplus on 9/11 at 2pm in the Veronese, Rm 2503 to hear about how forecasting makes the grid more reliable

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

En route to Las Vegas for this year's #REplus! Looking forward to an event surpassing the one in 2017 :)

The #SolarData Bounty Prize is looking for #PV data from underrepresented states: AK, KS, IA, MI, MO, ND, SD, NE, WA, WV, and WY.

Find out how you can take home part of $1.4M for your data contributions toward PV R&D efforts 👉 https://t.co/J94WJEjqQy

Submissions close Aug. 14.

At a time when the risk of nuclear use is higher than it's been in generations, let's commit to creating a more peaceful and secure future and achieving our goal of a world without nuclear weapons. Join me this weekend to fold & share #CranesForOurFuture https://t.co/aLYsK0oVDq

Just a reminder of perhaps the best electric vehicle advertisement of all time, from Nissan.

A billion (with a B) megawatt-hours in 2021 from #solar. Here's to 10 billion (annual generation) before the end of the decade!

[IRENA @IRENA]

The amount of electricity generated from renewables reached 7858 TWh as of 2021, according to @IRENA's Renewable Energy Statistics 2023.

Hydropower remained the largest share of the global total, while wind & solar continued to dominate the expansion. 👉https://t.co/XkaPfmxo35

This competition will show us how well existing technology can do #netloadforecasting and if #machinelearning can do as well as it did in the "true load" forecasting days (nobody called it ML back then!)

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

Short-term forecasting is one of the most cost-effective solutions to integrate a lot of #solar on the grid. With much of solar being "behind-the-meter", direct solar power forecasting is hard. But what about #netloadforecasting?

[AmericanMadeChallenges @AMCprizes]

The #NetLoadForecasting Prize teams are worth their weight in gold (or rubies, pearls, sapphires, you name it). ✨ With only days left, they're still working for the top spots on the leaderboard. See how the 70+ teams (anonymized as gemstones) compare: https://t.co/8Kc3TVQH5O

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

Utilities have been doing load forecasting for decades - actually, one of the oldest uses of neural networks! - so forecasting of "net load" (what's seen at the substation, as true demand is masked by rooftop solar generation) is already happening in high-solar grids 👇

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

@mateosfo Solyndra was not a concentrator tech - it was thin film (CIGS) solar with an innovative form factor targeting flat white(-ish) rooftops. It, too, became insolvent (as soon did other traditional CIGS concerns) once the supply issue with Silicon was resolved

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

If you are in D.C. and interested in the visualization of climate metrics, don't miss out on this great @NASA exhibit with larger-than-life visuals.
h/t to @elenikostis for her work on the content and the design

[NASA Earth @NASAEarth]

NASA’s Earth Information Center is now open to the public! 🚨🌎

Visit @nasa in downtown Washington, D.C. to see what we’re learning about our home planet in our new Earth science exhibit and immersive experience. https://t.co/WtP1r0ykes

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

Performance data from #solar power plants is essential for accurate modeling of solar power generation. If you own PV systems, DOE (@Energy) may pay you if you publish a subset of one such system. Look at the Prize details below on how to win one (or multiple) cash awards

[Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation @DOECMEI]

☀️Solar PV system owners! @Energy announced the American-made Solar Data Bounty Prize. The $1.4M prize competition is to increase the accessibility of high-quality time-series datasets for photovoltaic systems. Applications for Stage 1 are due 8/14: https://t.co/0FxxfrD1l8

@EmFPecora "[...] the model was forged in the fires of Big Tech companies such as Facebook, where sociopathy is a design philosophy."
Enough said. (Plus the requisite Black Mirror episode)

[Tassos Golnas @TassosGolnas]

Interested in #opensource software for #solar energy applications? Know how to build engagement for OSS projects? Join @energy, national lab, and industry experts for a workshop in ABQ on Oct 12 to share your experience and learn about current efforts. https://t.co/tGNZ5GDXyi

@EmFPecora There is intellectual laziness behind the need to read everything in bullet points, but I admit that on phones is a killer feature.
