It's only really seems useless during one month in the summer. During the rest of the year it looks like it would continue to have an impact. Today, for example, California never dipped below 10GW of natural gas production even while it had 13GW of solar all throughout the middle of the day. That's still an appreciable gap.

This doesn't even consider imported energy, or the potential misplaced environmental costs of any one particular source.

> The next step is pairing solar with residential and grid scale storage.

This looks to be entirely true. The state is barely cracking +/- 2GW with it's storage system, even though it has demands ranging from 25GW to 50GW. It's either that or we're at the next evolutionary step of "grid tied storage."

> Net metering always had to die for the next step (storage) to happen.

It's wonderful the compromises we get to make when 80% of the market is controlled by three entities.

> With the electric car mandate coming into 2035 so that millions of homes will own a giant battery this will eventually be even more important.

The worldwide market was 10 million in 2022, with just over 500 thousand units in the US overall. California has 17 million private vehicles and 12 million trucks. I think you'd be much better off just building stationary batteries and tying them to the grid, in particular, due to limitations of current technology and worldwide production capacity.

I can also say no to the feds if they ask me to assassinate someone but it doesn’t mean they aren’t breaking a law by asking me.

Would be a crazy constitutional loophole if the govt simply needs to ask citizens to censor each other (1a), steal their neighbors guns (2a), tell husbands to prevent their wives from voting (19a), etc.

If these censorship request were about bomb threats or something that’s one thing, but they are mostly just spicy political takes. FBI needs to stay in their lane.

> gangbusting success of solar and wind

I think this is an objective overstatement, just 10% of 2021 global electricity production came from wind and solar combined, and these are supposedly “easy to scale incrementally”, “simple technology that can be manufactured quickly anywhere” and have had major subsidies in relation to their market cap.

Then you have the intermittence issue, which is worse than dispatchable like hydro & nat gas, but isn’t factored in.

Lastly you have the regional variations in wind and sunshine which makes it impossible to say how it performs unless you know the regional conditions. Often you hear success stories from places like South Australia or the Danish coast or something, which is similarly honest to car commercials driving on empty mountain roads.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for developing and expanding renewables, especially in areas where the sun or wind is strong, but if I put myself in the shoes of fossil fuel lobbyists, current wind & solar is kind of a perfect nerfed pretend-enemy in regions of influence, such as say Germany.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Japan#Statistics

Add up tourists from China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and you'll see that they make up half of the people visiting Japan.

As for why, I can speculate: These places are geographically close to Japan, so you're looking at under 5 hours of flying instead of 10 to 20 hours from Europe and North America. Japan is a safe country to travel around, unlike much of the world. Although the per-capita visitation rate from China is much lower than Taiwan and HK, having some middle-class people in a population of a billion means that some will afford to and choose to visit Japan.

> "So there you have -- path tracing, the fast cousin of ray tracing. Looks almost as good, works a heck of a lot quicker. "

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly wrong.

Path tracing exists not because it's faster (it isn't, except perhaps in some pathological conditions), it exists because there are certain lighting effects that standard recursive ray tracing doesn't handle at all, but path tracing does. Caustics, global illumination, subsurface scattering, etc... We could be using ray tracing for just about everything now, but we don't because it doesn't look very realistic.

(Photon mapping can be used to create those lighting effects as well, but path tracing seems to have won out, being a bit less fiddly. With photon mapping you have to know sort of what you're going to be looking at in advance, whereas with path tracing you don't.)

Path tracing can be very slow, but improvements in computation speed plus algorithmic tweaks to prune unnecessary work mean it can be sort of done in real time these days.

One of the big differences between ray tracing and path tracing is that the former is deterministic, whereas the latter is probabilistic. Ray tracing just does a bunch of math until it arrives at the answer, but in path tracing the image quality depends on how much effort you put into it. If you use a few rays per pixel, you get a grainy image. If you use a lot of rays per pixel, you get something that's a lot smoother and clearer, but takes a long time to render.

One of the big semi-recent advances is to use denoising algorithms. Instead of throwing a lot of compute cycles at the problem to trace lots of rays, you just render a noisy image and use some algorithm (perhaps based on machine learning, perhaps not) to smooth it out. So now instead of tracing 100 or 1000 rays per pixel to get something that looks good, you might only trace 10, or 2, or 1.

> Traditional ray tracing involves calculating the exact path of reflection or refraction of each ray, and tracing them all the way back to one or more light sources. With path tracing, multiple rays are generated for each pixel but they're bounced off in a random direction. This gets repeated when a ray hits an object, and keeps on occurring until a light source is reached or a preset bounce limit is reached.

I'm not following completely. Are they saying that raytracing only generates new rays in the reflection or refraction direction? The diagram seems to contradict that, there's three new rays generated at each surface for raytracing on that.

Does pathtracing not take reflection and refraction into account at all? Does it only generate new rays in random directions to sample the incoming light? The diagram shows two new rays being generated at each surface, and one of them fins a light each time.

> But here's the really clever part: ordinarily fewer rays would result in a less realistic lighting, but since the bulk of the color of the frame's pixels are only affected by the primary rays, dumping most or all of the secondary ones doesn't affect things as much as one might think.

I don't understand this either. This just sounds like raytracing without reflections.

Can someone walk me through how the rendering of one pixel works in each case? I think the difference is how the secondary rays are generated, right?

The idea of python is to be human readable, allowing easy review of correctness and hopefully translating into choice of better algorithms.

This AI generated example is neither readable nor algorithmically efficient, on top of running in slow interpreted python. Worst of all 3 dimensions.

I do happily and regularly use copilot myself for boilerplate, where it does produce good enough and easily verifiable results, but hell no would I trust it for a complex algorithm like this, in its current state. Just understanding the problem domain enough to review the code is more than half of the challenge. How long until we reach that level of trust is our future mystery.

Are you perhaps American...? In America, you use the word "liberalism" to mean "left-of-centre", while in the rest of the world the word "liberalism" refers to a specific centrist political ideology.

No one argues the potential. But an inept regime is very capable of wasting a country's potential for decades. An economy controlled by a political party and where all decisions are made based on corruption or political connections is going to make bad business decisions.

It doesn't matter how good is Xi at running an economy, no one can, not even McKinsey. What makes capitalism successful is millions of initiatives, most of which random, which are tested against the market, the good ideas succeed and take over the bad ones, and in the long run you get extraordinary results. Centralisation always loses.
He describes exactly how to do it. Have you tried listening to the clip and taking notes?

Maybe an example might help: Consider Kendo; it has the concept of "3 killings" https://kenshijournal.wordpress.com/2020/09/12/san-sappou/ .

In order, the 3 are:

- kill the sword
- kill the technique
- kill the spirit

"Kill the sword" only requires perception. You see where your opponent's sword is, and block it to defend or strike it to open a line of attack.

"Kill the technique" can use either perception or perspective. It's like skating to where the puck is going to be, not chasing the puck: you see the beginning movements of a particular technique, and you how it is going to unfold so you can be well prepared to intervene farther on in its development.

"Kill the spirit" requires perspective. You use perspective to figure out what your opponent would like to do, and so instead of seeing the beginning movements of a technique, you will see what their plan is, and guess how (and via which technique) it will proceed.

you O <-perception-- --perspective-> O opponent
/|\ /|\
/ \ / \

Does that make any sense?

(Personally, I believe we only have consciousness because perspective is so useful: we have been evolved to model others via a theory of mind, and our sensation of consciousness is just the side-effect from applying that theory of mind to model ourselves)

A final word: note that just as shifting perception to perspective involves "turning the arrows around", by turning the "kill" around to "aid", we turn a duel into a dance, strife into teamwork. Exercise: rewrite the 3 killings above into 3 aidings.

> Intermittent renewables displace the need for any base load.

When you talk about wind and solar you have to specify the region, because it differs wildly. As someone who has watched exactly those ideas fail to the point of crisis in north-central Europe, I truly hope you’re talking about some other unrelated place.

Note that there is not only the daily cycle, but the seasonal one, in particular in cold regions. Baseload usually refers to the lowest demand during the day, so in those terms the baseload changes dramatically over the year. This is something that nuclear can adjust to perfectly fine.
