> Ideal for companies with fleet vehicles, the Fermata Energy Demand Charge Management application, along with the FE-15 charger, continuously monitors a building’s electrical loads, and may draw on the Nissan LEAF’s energy to provide power to the building during more expensive high-demand periods. In states with utility demand response programs, bi-directional-enabled Nissan LEAF vehicles (MY2013 and later) are able to safely send energy stored in the battery to the grid during peak energy demand times, such as in summer months.”

> The downsides to V2G tech are that it must degrade your battery (to some extent or another) to be discharging and charging more frequently, and it leaves your battery with less charge at times when you may wish you hadn’t discharged at all. Some people will always take that tradeoff, though, and it is great to simply have an option on the table for consumers who really want V2G tech. Stay tuned and watch this space.

> The article on the Fermata Energy/Nissan announcement is not quite correct. It’s for commercial use only – not residential. The Nissan-approved FE-15 bidirectional charger is available for commercial and government fleet owners. https://www.fermataenergy.com/fe15-sales

The other part is that this is grid supplemental charging where there is already a steady main current to be matched. If you are using it to power an island (home or similar disconnected from the grid), it is a different situation and would require completely disconnecting from the grid with safety cutouts to make sure that when the grid comes back on that the systems are not out of phase and damage equipment.

Grid storage is a different (and arguably easier) problem than home backup in the case of a blackout.

I have a short list of language patterns which I think are antipatterns in marketing. I think "Hybrid X" is one of them, exacerbated by "Hybrid working" being a prevalent term during the pandemic which many people felt was the worst time in their lives. (I think "X-verse" is another one... Practically I think it means "something that has no place for you in it" or "move along folks nothing more to see here")

That said I do think people are going to work from home sometimes and work at the office sometimes in the future and it certainly has been normalized by recent events.

There's a difference between running your own instance for you or your own staff and running one for the public.

Reading the power charts from https://intervals.icu of 43,000 male cycling enthusiasts:

- 70% of cyclists are able to sustain 500 W for 15 seconds

- 50% of cyclists are able to sustain 500 W for 30 seconds

Only the top 5% cyclists have an average 15 second power exceeding 1000 Watts.
I like this for some things where the logic is somewhat large-ish, but also strongly coupled. A good example is setting up state for integration tests; I'm not going to re-use any functions I create for that. It's not bad to use functions, I just find it more convenient to keep it all in one function, but split out a little bit in these faux-subfunctions.

I don't use it often, but when I do, I find it convenient.

ORMs do not exist because good developers can't write SQL, they exist to prevent Jr developers, offshore experts and general buffonery running amuck with security issues, database design and proper techniques.
The comment you're responding to didn't read to me as defensive, more just refuting your point. I think the idea that somehow he isn't really living is just a cope
I’ve done about ten years of multi-hat development without knowing SQL beyond the basics because an ORM fits my use case well: CRUD of a few million records across a dozen tables utilized internally only be a few hundred humans and thousands of robots, the entire backend written and maintained by 5% of one engineer.

My lessons are:

- you might not need an ORM, but it’s also fine if it’s the right tool. (Though I wonder if it should be inverted: you might not need SQL)

- I wish I learned more SQL just to know it better.

- don’t early optimize, but do read up on how you do optimizations with your ORM. That way you can identify when to get ahead of performance woes.

- set up a profiling system asap. For example, Django Silk.
> Haskell has far better type inference than Typescript in large part because it doesn't have subtyping.

That's a bit like saying "Go has a faster compiler because the language is so simple". It's true, but there's a genuine tradeoff here.

Haskellers have convinced themselves that subtypes are not worth it - and they may be right in many cases - but subtyping is a quite natural way of modeling many concepts (for example: mathematical expressions). Some of that can be recovered by typeclasses, existential types and other machinery (or you could go as far as dependent types), but that seems all more cumbersome and hard to understand than the way subtyping works in languages that support it out of the box.

No but reproducing a copyrighted work is a valid basis for an infringement case which shouldn't hinge on whether stealing the copyright is intentional or whether the methodology to do so is a "copyright stealing machine". Granting AI immunity to copyright when it's known to produce examples of infringement seems like stealing other people's work to me even if the infringement is unintentional.

This is why Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is so powerful in .NET. You never need to learn any ORM specific query language or syntax since you've probably learned to use LINQ with objects already and then you just continue to use it with a database.

>This functionality is already there.

Simple delayed charging with a timer is common, yes. The grid interactivity part? Much less so.

The few V1G pilot programs out there have been very encouraging.

Fortunately, it's not an either/or. We can better optimize the total system cost by doing both.
Ideally you want both an embedded database, a library for manipulating requests understood by the database, and a few libraries for exposing the same interface over different networks.

A frozen food is made of real food, the process all starts from scratch with "natural" ingredients (well ingredients).

The frozen food vs fresh cooked food is more like a film vs live acting. Or listening on tape vs a live concert. Even this analogy is lacking, a frozen food is made fresh at some point, it is about mass production not origin and ownership.

The frozen food is not food from your kitchen (or trashcan) remixed and added onto other people's plate.

Im thinking about my health and lifestyle and how i really really want to live too.

For me its more like a mix of my sourrundings and a sustainable life style with more work (physical) and also complementary sport to simulate more like a japanese lifestyle of working for a long time but 'work' will be formed by myself.

Basically having enough money to actually spend my life on myself and not for someone else and this life then should be sustainable.

Extending my skillset through playing (games, lego etc.), art (drawing, sculptering etc.), learning (math, refining english etc.), music & playing an instrument.

And the work part will be a peace of land which allows me to always have a project which has a physical representation. Like it makes a mental difference if i create a 3d character or a game or a program vs. i'm planting a plant and enjoying the fruit.

I'm pretty sure for him and his money is easy to do it like he does and i'm pretty sure the project is unique enough to keep him busy, i'm just not sure though how he is earthing himself and if he doesn't just throw money at something which might not give him the mental enlightment he might search.

Fortunate for me, as soon as i have enough money together to buy a broken down castle/chateue/farm and starting my journey, i will already be at a very natural and hopefully mental positive environment.
Interesting tidbit about that episode ("The Switch"): it was directed by Arnold Schwarzenegger (who also appears at the beginning)!
I wonder if there's an app/extension that streamlines remembering/autofilling usernames but not passwords. I doubt many people would be into it, but it would be the best of both worlds for the case you describe, I think.

Or simply a personal allow list of origins, with a happy green indicator prominently overlaid onto login forms on those origins you've saved -- doesn't even need username storage.

Maybe even a community-sourced allow list, but that would need some seriously trusted management (including purging upon domain registration expiry/transfer) but that would mostly duplicate the domain warnings that browsers already offer, anyhow.
Unfortunately, the title of the post misled me.
> A fun experiment but LLM generated stories will never escape the uncanny valley

Never is a really, really long time.

> Art, in this case illustration and narrative, requires a coherent viewpoint.

Why can't an AI have a coherent viewpoint, especially in the context of a children's book, where that viewpoint need only be incredibly simple? "John has lost his <insert item>, feels sad about that, and wants to get it back" is a coherent viewpoint, and certainly something AI can (if not now, at some point in the future) write a coherent story about.

> Voice is special because of the uniqueness of the human life behind it, which I realize sounds a bit airy-fairy, but is very true once you start digging into what works and what doesn't.

So what works and what doesn't? You're saying all of this at a high level and giving a timeline of forever on your prediction, but then you say it's true if you dig in without doing that.

> It's also why some pieces really don't work for some people. The "a kid could draw that" critiques of various modernism styles come from this place.

The thing about modernism is that it requires outside context to understand. It is a movement in response to art movements that preceded it, and the fact that its style uses simplistic shapes and lines is because of what it's a response to. You need to understand that history to appreciate why it is what it is.

In that sense, you're absolutely right - a child can't produce modern art, because even if it looks visually similar to existing art, it lacks that context.

The problem with that argument is that it's totally irrelevant to the topic at hand - children's books. They do not need history or context - those things serve no purpose because, for obvious reasons, they would be lost on the audience. All you have to hit is the superficial level - if you book looks and reads like a great children's book, it's a great children's book!

On a somewhat related note, I think AI art will eventually be seen as a movement somewhat akin to modernism. In response to the fact that art has become increasingly elite and insular (the whole fact that a modern painting can't be fully appreciated just by looking at the painting - you must know art history, which most people don't have the time or inclination to learn), people will be inclined to appreciate the flood of beautiful but democratized art that can be made by anyone. Just as the generation of artists before modernism thought it was awful, so will the current generation of artists about AI art. I'm a believe that art should be about aesthetics, not history, and AI art is certainly great for that.
I suggest a better response to CICO is not that this isn’t true but that it is hard for a variety of reasons. One’s response to CICO ought not be to deny basic physics. There was a comment that it is basic physics that CICO is true and it got pushback. My post was to point out that the pushback against that comment were wrong in the sense of not actually disputing CICO.

The responses should have been of the form, “Absolutely but this is very hard for some people for the following reasons…”. That changes to one part of the equation can have unintended consequences that change the other part.

I don't mind an ORM per se, what I don't like is when the ORM bleeds into the whole system (like in Django). If there is an ORM between the database layer or not doesn't matter, but if you're passing fat objects around where touching any property accidentally does a query, or it's impossible to change a table because the details have been solidified in code all over the place, it's not very nice.

I think the whole food analogy is missing the main point we are not reusing someone else's food to create a new frozen food.

Frozen-ness is about mass production - but not about the origin of that food. It just conflates unrelated issues.
I won't argue why they exist but I would argue that they help with security, database design, or proper techniques.

Security - You don't need an ORM to prevent SQL injections. Plenty of libraries handle safe string SQL formatting.

Database design - I feel depending on an ORM for this instead of actually thinking about the solution would lead to just as many mistakes.

Proper Techniques - It is proper until it isn't I guess. Trying to get the ORM to do things it doesn't support usually leads to unexpected side effects.
I think they are quite different it seems. Postlite expects you to connect over the postgres wire protocal. Sqld is compiled into your application so your application behaves like it's talking to an embedded sqlite, the calls are then made over the network (using one of three available transports) before being returning to your application.
There are a ton of things that, if labor were arbitrarily expensive, it would be replaced with some combination of:

Compare the US overall to many places in southeast Asia for example. There is generally a lot more personal service and staffing overall where the labor is cheaper.
