The claim hinges entirely on the narrow definition of "large-scale energy generation." For the UK, with its high seasonal energy demand and low winter solar output, the cost of gen…

From the paper, section 2.1: minimize_θ,φ,Δ ||P_φ(Δ, E_θ(x)) - sg(E_θ'(y))||_1 where y - full video, x - masked video, E_θ(.) - learned encoder (semantic embedding), P_φ(.) - learn…

It seems like a model is not included; you need to set an API endpoint in a configuration https://tmuxai.dev/getting-started#environment-variables

I was thinking, to build a large, efficient factory autonomously, one could use LLM as a high level agent that is using specialized tools. The overall strategy would perhaps look l…

This doesn't apply to energy grid scale projects. Also that is why energy sector in most countries is privatized. Take Germany with total energy costs that would be like ~10% of th…

none of those storage solutions are easy for grid scale. For batteries you need whole factories, pumped requires permits and tone of cement, chemical is like hydrogen with low effi…

pumped hydroelectric is storage; right now it is like 99% of world storage capacity.

Solar PV operates 10-30% of the time (depending on location). Without storage, this naturally limits direct solar contribution to about 20% of energy demand. Going beyond requires …

Achieving the first 20% of solar in an energy mix is relatively easy. Beyond that costs increase 3-5 times per energy unit mainly due to storage.

As I understand it a one way to disincentivise centralization is that when your node loses access to the network you lose more money if at the same time many other nodes/stake do n…

In Mathematica 12.3: Integrate[Log[1 - 2 a Cos[x] + a^2], {x, 0, Pi}, Assumptions -> Abs[a] >= 1 && a \[Element] Reals] gives the correct answer -\[Pi] Log[1/a^2]

It may be so. But an underground pump hydro is just boring.
