Likewise, you could say “Tell my boss I’m not coming in tomorrow” and it would have to know who your boss is.

We could get super angry about this, but seeing as it’s fully local and doesn’t leave the device, it really doesn’t seem like a big deal. Is it much different to your car remembering who you call and where you go at what times for navigation purposes?

What’s the point of a SOTA model if, by 3 weeks later, it’s dumber than the previous generation at launch.

(If you did this random substitution with physical goods it would probably be illegal or very frowned upon…)

Edit: Ah sorry you’re right, the bandwidth is lower but the TOPS is a lot higher. I’m not sure how much effect you get from higher TOPS with such low bandwidth though.

An independent body or government needs to step in and make it law to fix it. Or; throw out the standards and make everything dumb as rocks, which as you mention might be easier, one plug is power in, one plug is power out.

V2H - charger inverts DC to grid AC

V2L - EV inverts DC to grid AC

In case of V2H it therefore doesn’t matter what supported EV you are using, rather what charger you are using.

In general for changeover during a black out, V2L is probably better, because with V2H the charger itself needs POWER to boot up and request V2G whereas V2L you can start from the EV itself.

Also, generally speaking V2H is designed to be grid-following and certified to half a dozen standards whereas V2L forms an isolated microgrid, and a lot of the rules are tossed out, which is what you want.

For V2L you just need a generator changeover to isolate your house from the grid (most commonly just a manual switch), and a reverse plug to connect EV output to switchboard input.

Does their Pro plan have similar limits to OAIs $100 business plan for example?

Any equivalent for the 20x plans?

If you count “impales person with blue stick while distant asteroid is in position X Y Z” then yes, there are probably infinite, so it depends how you class a discrete method

But the trajectory, of everything it seems, has completely changed. And I have no optimism left.

The world would need to possibly take up arms against its leadership to recover from where it is right now. The problem is, I know the masses are pacifist and reasonable, and it’s the insane few that are either running everything or have all the money. That dreads me, because just as I wouldn’t take up arms, nobody else will either, so who will stop the descent?

Otherwise you’ll be under such stress that you’ll become reactive and lose your Birds Eye View, and that’s a slow way to sink.

Sure, as a total fluke in a very specific industry, software might sell itself. Everywhere else, and especially in physical product and deep tech, someone has to fully own the sales side of the business including the really time intensive stuff like website, email marketing, conferences, merch, sales meetings and trade shows. Heck, even viable solo founder companies would probably sell a magnitude harder with a sales co-founder.

Anecdotally my company picked up a few big distributor contracts for software tools and deep tech products, stuff people want. The products are done, high quality, but they don’t sell themselves - we have to actively put effort into outreach for every sale. Think about that in the context of your own startup. Building the thing is not the end hurdle, it’s kind of like a dependency to selling the thing, which creates revenue.

OpenAI release any time now

Might be better to look for a “beach head market”, that is, a unique idea in a smaller niche market where there currently isn’t anything else.

This kind of AI assistant is quite overdone and there are probably more assistants than people who actually use them
