https://terraformindustries.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/direct-... Solar dc data centers are marginally cheaper. However right now the incentives are on buliding data centers (includi…

Well, i can only be cheaper to shift demand to high production hours then building a battery. Especially as you don’t only need an inverter for the battery but also the charger or …

Australia is in fact primed to go all-in on all-electric. They have an hyperabundance of solar and wind (+land where it can be installed) and have the purchasing power to buy cheap…

This is one of the killer use cases of AI, build personalized stuff for your life, that no company does. It is kind of generalized „intelligent stuff“ that one can use. Like minecr…

Seems like a more general solution to a Tesla API Firewall that i was thinking about. My idea was to use some kind of gateway/firewall LLM to check commands that another agent woul…

Altman is the startup idea king. He should definitely know his moves. Even worse for antrophic is the renaming from clawd to openclaw. It is almost comical now that Peter had to re…

What is especially annoying is the aistor/minio business model, either get the „free“ version or pay about 100k… How about accepting some small dollars and keeping the core concept…

Sales fell 4% in North America last year. EV share is more like 20% globally and seeing a YoY increase every year for at least 10 years now.

We are slowly getting there, the used EV market takes time to build up a stockpile of good and fast charging cars. Also for total cost of driving you need to factor in cheaper char…

Toll gates in general are a waste of time. I use bip&go + telepass lanes in Italy to get through them faster.

And you can buy them and use them right now, as i can go and shop some solar panels, inverters, batteries, some cables put them about anywhere and just have free electricity after …

Solar panels etc. will last decades and can and will be recycled afterwards. Further, most materials needed for renewable energy infrastructure (iron, lithium) are highly abundant …

Being used to European style ski maps, I don’t really understand why you would paint a ski map. A ski map is a map and should convey all the information you need without being over…

Good work, but the headlines are still in „newspaper“ style and not in hacker news style

Imho it’s a good thing to not block other countries approach to clean power from a german perspective. However, there is just no way new nuclear power makes any sense for German gr…

I‘m currently visiting Paris for the second time in my life after 2008. I can tell you it’s much cleaner now than it has been back then. There are many electric (cargo) bikes, scoo…

Right, there is no measurements involved and most decisions are gut-based. In the end most systems will work somehow, it’s just that the pain points in development are different.

Oh well, it’s not just about microservices… The whole damm IT/software world is just like that. Very few well-defined things, very few good standards, very few agreed upon architec…

The biggest danger is trying to recharge them after they have been stored for a long time. The anode and cathode might short-circuit and then a fire will likely start. If you want …

Well, i have to say that is one area where Germany actually shines. We shut off the stupid, power-hungry and slow 3G, but kept 2G as a basic service. That was a very good decision.…

Ever heard of „battery storage“?

helicopter pads… are you serious? so the whole freaking country is a helicopter pad? Maybe a warm welcome for the CCP? It’s not that hard putting some solar panels on buildings. He…

„If you just locked yourself out of sshd because you didn't install ssh keys first, STOP HERE. You are not ready for this.“ that one had me chuckling

I‘m not sure if they factored in the massive GPS jamming and spoofing going on in a war zone?

> It is actually not like self driving at all. In the self driving case the nominal situation requires hard AI. I agree with that. One could easily automate aviation like subways. …
