Your other comment got downvoted to death (not by me) so I can't reply to it, so I'm replying here. Sorry the downvoting happened; your comment wasn't incorrect. You're right that …

Comments like this one remind me of all the people saying "China can't invent things, they can only copy the US" 20 years ago. Like, we're comparing a new Dell to a Mac released on…

That would be great if it were true, but my experience has been that Zwave devices have consistently flaked out while Zigbee have been more solid.

It's bad policy. If one is trying to attack the threat you claim, one might ban all internet capable inverters. To ban all, even fully offline ones, means the threat you describe i…

That is a top hat, yes.

Glaciers have been calving huge icebergs into the sea for as long as glaciers have met ocean. Those icebergs eventually melt and collapse just like this. Rising temps contribute to…

Gotcha. On the trains I'm used to (Amtrak, NYC subway) spaces between cars are either nonexistent, or extremely dangerous.

Leave the wagon to where? Like get off the train? The trains are all wagon, no?

Could you go into why you consider the existence of an invisible (all powerful? Depends which god you mean, you didn't say) being that happens to concern itself with life on Sol's …

> I would no more make risotto with basmati than I would serve a Thai curry over Arborio. Both are rice, but that is where the useful similarity ends. Claude might not do this, but…

> There is a lot of inefficiency right now keeping prices elevated. That will change very fast and soon paying for inference will likely resemble paying for hosting your app. I don…

Source available is not the same as open. Source available does not mean non-proprietary. Just like HDMI, if you want to build a device that uses Zwave, you must pay for the privil…

They're probably only comparing open protocols. If one doesn't care if their protocol is proprietary then sure one might consider zwave. But it's hardly "surprising" that it's left…

Because zwave is proprietary. There's money to be made here! Can you imagine the lost profit potential if people standardize on an open protocol like ZigBee?

I doubt that here. Cars are already near saturation, at least in the US. Essentially everyone has a car. The car is mostly idle. If car availability starts to approach instant then…

All I can do is the best interpretation of what you wrote. I fear you doom yourself to misinterpretation by failing to properly or correctly describe your thought. Why comment?

> robots dong all your chores for you This could happen this year or next, assuming you're willing to pay $30k for the hardware.

Was the prompt to write a blog post about Georgia, or was the prompt just about a typeface and Georgia was Claude's pick?

...for now.

Why do you think "sheep meadow" in Central Park is called that? Do you think Manhattan has always been skyscrapers?

Yes, CNN has done it 13 times, MSNBC 27, and FOX well over 12,000 and counting. You can say "these are all the same" but if you can't see why people single out FOX that says a lot …

You were talking about how it'll be impossible to remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere without burning unreasonable amounts of energy. I say that's not so. We need only to suffici…

> The net CO2 impact of natural processes is -19Gt/yr. Humans add +37G/yr for a net +18Gt. If we stopped everything, you'd expect -19Gt/yr That is the message I am.trying to convey…

> The bank balance grows entirely because of the net imbalance Yes, this is my whole point. You wrote a long condescending comment accusing me of being a climate denier that fully …

I did the math out on this for fun a couple years ago. It came put surprisingly reasonable. Taking estimates for Starship payload to Mars as the likely payload to L1, carrying to L…
