At grid scale, yes.

For the house, not so much.

The feed in tariff was at one point 41 pence per kwhr which is probably £10 a day in summer.

but at 12p a kwhr it drops to £3.6

However, 10kwp of panels is ~£1800, but the micro inverters needed to drive them are >£3k (as its outside you can probably use two larger inverters.) Then mounting system is probably a good 800 quid too.

What leveraged? yeahnah thats not going to be profitable.

Depends on what you mean by early.

WAs it released before the market was proven? yes.

Was the whole user experience up to scratch before it was released? no.

As someone who worked on the Quest pro/3 ecosystem, We were shitting our selves, because we knew that apple would only release something when the user experience was right.

Oculus just shat out features as and when performance cycles needed juicing.

Sure the UX was good, but it was less good than I expected. The headset was bulky and surprisingly off balance. It wasn't an all day wearable (i mean the quest pro was actually comfortable by comparison)

The resolution wasn't that great and the only thing you could do with it was either look like a twat recording video or have spreadsheets pasted everywhere. I was expecting an OS where we could put things on work tops, create augmentations to my room, decorate or be creative. Instead we got OSX XR.

Onboard decent LLM performance thats _power efficient_ is at least two/three hardware generations away. (assuming linear performance)

but, the valuations, with debt trade and private credit obscuring exposure is a recipe for disaster.

I mean Zuckerberg is a drop out.

zitron has been around since before flash was dead, more over hes worked in PR so like anyone with heavy involvement with c-suite, sales and journalism, you get a good nose for bullshit.

That said, do I agree with his assertions? no not entirely. But. I suspect its a bit of an audience capture thing. He makes wild statements, then goes on a flight of fancy to back them up. I appreciate that, but it also lets me decide that he's going down a path that I feel is not backed up by his data.

I thought "oooh this is interesting I wonder how they are going to do physically accurate on an end device" Recalling how the original particle sim was something like 100TB, took 2 weeks to generate and seemed to write in a way that killed disks. but that was >10 years ago, so what clever stuff has been done to model it locally.

Its been a long time since I've looked at black holes, but what I'm not understanding is why the stars surrounding the black hole are just points, and more over why the lines are straight to the centre of the hole. from memory the way light enters the hole appears non-linear and changes on view point.

I'm not sure thats true.

Most aircon in "warm" europe is standard split aircon

The "heatpump" shit that the UK is sorta looking at is as you describe. However its half the price to install "aircon" over heatpumps (because grants, amongst other things)

Like most recently refurbished offices will use normal aircon (certainly all the one I have worked in)

is the readme aimed at humans? because its a bit scatter gun.

Is it a model orchestrator? or a wrapper around docker/nix/cgroups+chroot?

Like what makes it an OS?

You rightly point out that shared memory across wifi/crappy ethernet is a bad idea, but then how do you get around that?

is it that you need a new job and this is the hook? or do you have some insight into better ways of being letgo/fired/parted ways with?

its also not clear how long you were there for? (i'm not in the business of stalking people on linkedin)

Its got to the point where there is now so much solar, that during solar maximum, there is too much energy and plants are being told to turn off.

Natural gas was the main pricing predictor, but now that link has been pretty much severed. Given that spain is dependent on russian gas, its good that they are able to _try_ to lower their dependence.

One of the things that AI has helped with is automatic breech notifications. They are largely proforma, but depending on which generation of contract they are notifying from, subtle changes are needed.

Law is mostly highly structured text, and you know what loves highly structured and documented text? LLMs.

Legal LLMs do share the same issue with coding LLMs, they tend to default to lazy/insecure. Its not the case where you as a non-lawyer can prompt it to make a "water tight" contract from scratch.

Curious cases with Adam rutherford was most excellent. They appeared to be great friends and spent a lot of the time taking the piss out of each other and doing great explanations. The ones with Dara are ok, but not as good.

Thats great but how are we supposed to clothe, feed, shelter and provide for the children we already have?

Its not like the amassed wealth they have is going to be shared, is it?

hence the feudal but. We must pay rent or we are out on our arses. you need health care? tough luck kid, cut back on the lattes.

It has the last master plate, and some photos of how it all looked on the last day. There is a photo of a technician sweeping up on presumably the last day before the plant was shut down. He looked distraught

Most of those people retired.

The young ones didn't get as gooder jobs, because the system they had mastered was replaced by a different more efficient one.

80% of my skillset has been automated away. However I am lucky in that I have high scale HPC/web experience that is not that readily available in the training set. but for how long?

My backup plans involve being a machinist, but there isn't much scope for that (even though I am a reasonable CNC/CAM operator) There is electrical engineering, but that too is not far away from significant upheaval (well more than being completely outsourced to china)

I am being replaced, by heartless feudalists, and there is shit all I can do to stop it.

For example, when I worked at a VFX software company, we were exclusively with one hardware partner. This unlocked something like a 50% discount across all our infra needs (they were big enough to provide switches, racks, servers, storage)

another company it unlocked a 75% discount.

> it seems very strange to me to put any blame apple here when its just a statistics game. billions of image posts = millions of reports. simple as.

Apple's platform hosts billions of messages and photos. It is the Paedophile’s choice for distributing images and videos. The problem for us is Apple's halfarsedness in tackling this leads to clientside scanning or backdoors in encryption. They are not doing anything at all to stop this, and compared to whatsapp of all fucking apps, they are doing nothing.
