> Even in Texas/California photovoltaic output in the winter is measly, anywhere more to the north and it's effectively inexistent. Solar+storage requires massive overprovisioning,…

One additional tidbit of info. While the northern coast in Germany has certainly more wind, a reason why wind falls off so strongly towards the south, are the policies of the CSU p…

I can give you a prime example where you want to render all the data and quickly, oscilloscopes. It's quite common that you fetch traces with millions of samples, but then want to …

But the AI companies are not publishing the models? Moreover they are charging for access to the models.

You conveniently left out the fact that all the "easy" tracks (athletics, legacy, donor) are heavily skewed toward white applicants. It's interesting how everyone is riling about a…

> Because software you build it once and can resell it as much as you want, a stick of RAM is only sold once. Yes exactly, and theoretically if there was a functioning market that …

It's funny how everyone (especially here on HN) accepted (and expected) extremely high profit margins from software businesses, but now that hardware companies are increasing their…

If I understand your argument it's ethically ok to destill huge swathes of copyrighted work into a model without compensation, but then it is ethically wrong to use that model with…

That's not how electricity markets operate. Say you have 100GW demand (number are not in any way related to reality) and your Nuclear plant has a capacity of 50 GW. However it's a …

It seems your misinterpreting the quote, it does never says that > “These everyday things that are beloved to us, like food, can take on an entirely different dimension within the …

I'm not sure what you mean. Markdown compared to typst or latex is extremely limited and using it for books or academic papers is very niche. I certainly would (and have for all my…

But by that argument the EU holds all the cards because nobody can do what ASML can do. So everyone is dependent on the EU.

That ignores the fact that there is a incredibly well founded coalition of organisations with idiological (climate change by its nature requires collective action, but collective a…

Ah apologies, that's what I get for skim reading and kneejerk replying. I completely agree with you, undergrads are highly unlikely to know more about a subject than their professo…

Like what? Seriously, nobody thought shouting rockets into space was impossible. Landing a rocket again nobody had thought it impossible. Sure they brought down prices, again nobod…

It certainly is true in physics and engineering that a PhD student at least half way through their PhD should know more than there supervisor about their topic (and usually much ea…

Yeah it's much better to make your money by enabling the worlds worst dictators to steal money from their populations. In fact it's all the other countries taxes that are paying fo…

That doesn't really make sense, you need the ability for significant overproduction before you start thinking about storage. The other way around is just wasting money. We are just…

It's interesting, I'm not a big notebook user myself, but others (and myself rarely) often take advantage of that feature, because it allows you to e.g. get data from an instrument…

That's not what the link says. In fact it is specifically saying it should be working in stereo but tdolby surround has missing channels.
