You are aware, that the normal Balkonkraftwerk is plugged in with a standard Schuko plug? This _only_ works because there is no licensed electrician involved. The personal cost wou…

They need the grid frequency to generate AC. Those inverters are only allowed to be grid-following (at least for the plug-in part. I think there are systems that provide a -to-load…

That’s largely correct but misses the point that the battery+pv system is legally only allowed to feed in 800W [1]. On our circuits you can draw ~3.5kW without tripping the breaker…

You are of course somewhat correct. But - I think - only technically. In practice what happens is that the “maintenance”[1] costs on solar production is extremely limited and shoul…

But it’s also environmentally better for you to take the resistive heating thing. As long as you never need to heat it up outside of the noon-window that’s strictly positive. Becau…

But transit only solves your problem in cities like London. Some people - for some reason I’m still not entirely clear on - seem to like this. But other people - so far the majorit…

Isn't the US example: Medicare/Medicaid? It has far less costs (i.e. more of the money spend ends up with patient care) and has a reasonably good reputation?

But that is leas fundamental then you make it sound. LLMs work well with human language because that’s all they are trained on. So what else _could_ an ideal language possible look…

Depends on the future expected value that they assign to you. But.. yes

I love that example. It’s a basic exercise in “for how little money can you break any amount of trust”. Not sure how they could avoid that (besides being competent in the first pla…

I think we are pretty much past the "LLMs are useless" phase, right? But I think "super-charged search engine" is a reasonably well fitting description. Like a search engine, it pr…

If you are willing to ignore the mechanics, then the result rounds to: The operator will receive the auctioned value of x £/MWh for each MWh delivered to the grid If you are intere…

That’s not necessarily true. In general a single windmill is more efficient at pulling energy out of the wind than two are. And the marginal costs of windmills are not zero. I.e. t…

Think of it this way: as a windfarm operator you know your costs and you know your expected amount of energy produced. But you don’t know the precise timing and therefore the marke…

Why wouldn't a few-occupancy sleeper bus work? I'd agree that this is a bit beyond "normal cars are autonomous". But I don't think the driving part will be particularly special to …

I mean in the case in Lebanon they knew. They sold those pagers to Hezbollah.

While you are correct, for any user this is completely irrelevant, right? I have the choice between picking up an MBA or a different laptop. One comes with a reasonable expectation…

My initial reaction was: Oh no, who would have thought? But then... 21% is almost shockingly low. Especially given that there are almost certainly some false positive, given that t…

Russia basically cancelled their support for the S-300 Turkey bought from them. A lot of the tourists in Turkey were from Russia, that basically stopped. A lot of collaboration pro…

But neither was it only one incursion into Turkish airspace, not did Turkey not pay a price for it

But you don't need 12kts, right? The ocean logistics is ~only about costs, as evidenced by the reduction in travel speed. That being said, cost is currently not dominated by fuel c…

Yes, and the Cloud Act pretty much forces upper management to ensure that there is always a US IT guy that can be compelled to implement the wishes of The US Federal Government, as…

In addition to my sibling comment: The cost of the panels is a rather small fraction of the total cost of a typical installation. Most of that cost ist labor, some regulatory requi…

But that's not the same thing right? That means having two teams competing for developing the next product. That's not two organisations handling the same responsibilities. You may…
