    Cool! I made something similar with the same datasets a year ago, but with geocoordinates instead of timestamps: https://theilemail.de/wikipage/ It shows a zoomable map with the "m…

    No, it is not as good as Veo, but better than Grok, I would say. Definitely better than what was available 2 years ago. And it is only a 7B research model!

    Yes, of course I do ignore a lot in that calculation. I just wanted to calculate the biggest possible usefulness of this cable. Especially the resistance losses could be quite disa…

    To some degree, yes. I just looked it up and the EU produced ~2500GWh in 2023, which is around 280 GW on average.

    If I (and only I) owned such a cable from Europe to the US, how much money could I make by buying cheap solar energy from the bright side and selling it to the dark side of the Atl…

    I wonder if you could implement it with only static hosting? We would need to split the index into a lot of smaller files that can be practically downloaded by browsers, maybe 20 M…

    Very cool open release. Impressive that a 27b model can be as good as the much bigger state of the art models (according to their table of Chatbot Arena, tied with O1-preview and a…

    I think there are pretty strong traces of pro-china manipulation on Tiktok. See https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/briefing/tiktok-ban-bill-... Content about something like Hong-Ko…

    I made a similar map but with tiles that only load of you zoom in far enough: tomthe.github.io/hackmap/ (Sorry for posting my link so often) That way it has to load only a few mega…
