The nice thing is as long as these markets stay reasonably competitive, economics can figure out what to do with excess renewables.

When renewables are in excess, the spot (instantaneous) energy price will drop to near zero (or sometimes negative in weird situations). That is good for existing (short term) batteries (they can recharge cheaply), but it will also provide price signals to people considering investing in longer term storage (since their cost of energy could be near zero, they only have to recoup the costs of building and operating the storage).
While I don't lend credence to it being that simple, it's worth noting that the people making that profit aren't the ones paying for it, and the ones paying for it aren't using their own money.

IIUC both Intel and AMD haven’t supported S3 on their CPUs for a couple generations now. The functionality is still technically in the firmware, but it’s broken to a varying extent.
I agree with many of the issues you mentioned, but I still thing Matrix is the best-positioned solution in the space.

I think all those issues can be addressed, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water.
> Renewables can't power things like trains, planes or semi trucks.

Eh... The only one on your list that is currently a problem is planes. It's expensive powering semi trucks with them, that's why people mostly don't, and it's almost trivial for trains.

There is also no fundamental reason why planes should be impossible. There are several well understood possibilities for them, but very few people have focused on solving this problem.
Serious question - do you know this to be in fact true of Blazor specifically, with real life comparisons, or is this just conjecture based on analogous frameworks?

Thank you for this explanation.

> because lithium is such a tiny portion of the battery

Is this why recycling it is so difficult?
Why even go that far? Just call 100% what is actually 80% on the battery and call it a day. We already get “actual formatted capacity less” when it comes to data storage, and EV batteries are generally under-provisioned.
Which the author would be kind to do and post with the example.
> The problem for people outside of the strategy room, is that we don't know whether there is a broader objective or not, and even when a broader objective is realized it's almost impossible to prove that the end result was the original intent.

In some cases, folks are open about their broader objectives. Sometimes, we DO know their broader objectives, or at least we COULD know if it was widely (properly) reported.

In all other cases, we have no way of knowing the objectives of politicians and bureaucrats _tomorrow_, so we shouldn't presume they will have good objectives -- or rather, that we would think their objectives Good.

Never give the government power that you wouldn't want the most hostile political adversary to have.

It should be a bit more than $5000. However, prepare to be even angrier:

Burning a gallon of gas generates 20lbs of CO2 (most of the weight is the O2), so 100 gallons produces a ton. Direct air carbon capture should cost roughly $100 per ton at scale, so the fee should be $1/gallon of gasoline (either at vehicle purchase or at the pump).

That’s completely affordable and lower than current gasoline taxes in many places.

If we made that one change (and funneled the revenue into carbon capture) existing ICE cars could be carbon negative in 5-10 years, and, as we phased them out (because EVs are just better) we’d have a clear path to pre-industrial atmospheric CO2.
Indeed that would work. In theory. Especially since we thought of that use case (delegation into DNS) with the GNS2DNS record type.

There is a BUT: You need an initial label for ICANN zone to resolve the names.
Unless you have a resolver implementation that "hides" the zkey of ICANN in the UI. But technically, under the hood, a name for this ICANN zone would look like:

www.example.com.THEICANNZKEY...

ICANN could also publish the TLDs individually as zones, however, and you could have an "ICANN Start Zone" (see Start Zone in the RFC) consisting of the TLD/zone key mappings.

In my experience, long polling is more stable and you can enable transfer compression. Maybe it would be good in Blazor to disable the persistent connection completely, having only requests and responses. Often we just want to call a backend method and update the view in response.

Excellent in what context? Cellular does more or less what WiFi does, but better. Connections are encrypted and centralized without a local network, less risk of security flaws and hacks, your security is not subject to the firmware and setup of the wifi router you are currently on.

I easily see this being a thing at some point where we discuss WiFi like its the fax machine. There's absolutely no need for WiFi if you have cellular + internet, it does everything better with less cost and maintenance. Makes no sense to have two chips doing the exact same thing on space-premium hardware such as iPhone

That's at a cost of trillions though - perhaps annually (just something to keep in mind). Transmission is crazy expensive and hard to secure right of way for. The investment costs on renewables are also pretty high.

When thinking of load balancing over years, you need to weigh seasonal loads that have low capital costs and high energy costs running for 30~50% of the year vs a battery that only discharges ~once a year. The amortization prospects of such a storage medium are grim.

No, this is not the reason. People hate ads, generally.

Go ahead and block ads. I use a PiHole myself (but also subscribe to YouTube Premium, so..). But stop complaining when companies try to do something about it, or acting like there's some optimal amount of ads.

Just as it's your right to block ads, it's their right to block ad-blockers. This is the game, it's been played for 20+ years.
What questions can tech CEOs be asked, to guage their moral trustworthiness?
In light of the OpenAI shakeup, many here have pointed to Altman's goals with the project being ones most don't consider the most important (money, reckless use which many enhance government/powerful control), and a 'personality that is required for this kind of thing'.

If you watch youtube that much, then just pay for premium. Seems the philosophy here is because adblockers are technologically feasible, you're entitled to use a service for free. Because ads have some issues, blocking them and never contributing a cent in other ways is acceptable.

A video here and there is whatever. But it's hypocritical to watch many videos per month and expect to not pay for it - unless you also expect to not get paid for your work or services.

Yeah, I don't think circuit breakers are really the appropriate choice in most of the situations the article is describing. Rate limiting and backpressure seem like better options most of the time.

The way I see it, circuit breakers are safety devices. They're for when you need to keep a system in a safe control region and are wiling to sacrifice some reliability in order to achieve that. e.g. preventing customers from accidentally turning your globally distributed whatever into a DDOS platform or limiting the blast radius when infrastructure automation decides it should delete everything.

Judging by your comments, you seem to be of the opinion that environmentalists mostly love rich people and want to exempt them from climate taxes while allowing them to continue enjoying luxuries that produce as much carbon as dozens of middle class lifestyles.

I have to say that in my experience with environmentalists, nothing could be further from the truth. They are, largely, middle class to poor (in U.S. terms) themselves, and overwhelmingly blame consumption by the rich and corporate practices encouraged by externalized costs under our present economic system.

That's not to say that there aren't some activists and scientists who fly to conferences. But they tend to be more aware of this conflict than you might think. Some scientists, for example, refuse to fly. And there is some credibility to the idea that the work they are doing is vital, whereas luxury vacations clearly are not.
Well for Blazor Webassembly at least, you need to download the entire .NET runtime and WebAssembly isn't quite as fast as JS in browsers yet.

Not concerned with what society thinks, but personally I think Alphabet were only ever able to buy youtube out due to lack of anti-trust enforcement so IMO 0% is deserved and I feel no guilt whatsoever blocking their ads.

Every since LLMs made it into the mainstream via ChatGPT, it’s really become a matter of time before most of the new content being produced is just generated, SEO nonsense - which we can see the beginnings of right now. Big media companies used to pay interns to write barely legible articles and use word spinners to sub synonyms but now you can create, on the fly, useful-sounding content that neatly accompanies the current article. Advertisers can also use crude prompt queries like “write a maximum N word hook targeting X audience, relating to Y, advertising Z product” and dynamically create A/B (A/B/…/N?) tests and see what performs 0.2% better.
I don't think complete anonymity is the way to go. It'll attract clinical psycho people with actual difficulty understanding identities and ethics. I've seen it. They'd have difficulty understanding who posted which, have too little incentives to listen to anything, and openly complain that they would have to follow rules if enforced. All in straight faces.

For a social media to work, some sort of consequences must be forced upon responsible users. Else people quits functioning. I'm guessing that the reward scoring don't have to be exposed to the public, but there has to be something, and forcing users have pseudonymous usernames is a workable implementation.
For me, just the fact that I don't have to deal with JS bullshit and ecosystem including node/npm hellhole is a win for me. Before these shiny JS frameworks came along, .NET already had great UI component libraries as well including syncfusion (my favorite) and many others.

I only do VueJS when I do use JS but man I can't wait to not write any code in JS.

For now. But more importantly, there are sovereignty problems to considered in case things get worse in the future. And the quality and usability of the lithium substrate varies quite a bit between suppliers, with the better ones, for now, coming from the less "attractive" suppliers.

Source?

My understanding is that this can be true in some regions but requires fairly aggressive use of, not only overbuilt renewables (which may pose challenges in land use and siting), but also long haul transmission (also difficult to site), demand response, etc. And then there's the scary possibility of an extended weather anomaly (several weeks with no wind and minimal solar).

Having some long term storage in the mix, probably in the form of green hydrogen or another e-fuel, greatly increases our options for building a robust fossil-free grid.

Putting more clean firm sources such as nuclear or advanced geothermal in the mix also helps, but I am not optimistic regarding nuclear, and advanced geothermal is still pretty immature.
If only there were an affordable subscription plan people could buy to avoid the ads? I do find it funny that people who make well over $100K a year will jump through so many hoops to avoid a $20 a month subscription cost. Then, when YT finally says no more and makes the experience worse for these people, the justifications and complaints start rolling out like there’s no end!

And if you only watch YT occasionally, meaning the subscription isn’t worth it, then I think watching a couple ads for the 1-2 videos you watch a month is a great compromise! I watch YT all the time, and the ads are not excessive compared to cable, or heck, even popular streaming nowadays! The new streaming platforms make you pay a subscription, give you reduced video quality, and have the gall to slap you with a ton of ads!

One final note (that I’ve mentioned on HN before): the channels on YT have full control over whether or not ads play, and where and when the ads play. Of course the channel owners won’t publicly announce this, because it’s much easier to let YT take the PR hit for the ads. And because I know it will be asked why I’m any sort of authority on this, I have a channel with 50K subscribers and have experimented with turning ads off on particular videos to see if YT respects that decision, and they do.

I like that analogy.

Batteries are kind of the RAM/cache in the system:
- Big merchant batteries like Hornsdale are kind of like more distant ram RAM
- Batteries co-located with renewables are kind of the local to core ram
- UPS and similar are cache
- Pumped hydro is probably Tape ;)

It feels like we might still be lacking a good/widely deployed HD/SSD equivalent in this space, hopefully new/emerging technologies (maybe the sodium chemistries others are mentioning) will be able to fill that in.

That's a non sequitur from the previous point. However, on the "who pays taxes?" point, that article is careful to only talk about income tax in absolute terms, and indirect taxes in relative terms. It doesn't appear to be trying to make an objective analysis.

> Is that a benefit of having rich people?

I don't share the assumption that people should only exist if they're a benefit.

> If companies were employee-owned that tax would still be paid.

Some companies are employee-owned, but you have to think how that works for every type of business. Assuming that it's easy to make a business, and the hard bit is the ownership structure is a mistake.

Upsides: Cheap, safe, no hard to source materials. Relatively high amount of cycles (> 5000).

Downsides: somewhat low energy density, somewhat less efficient.

CATL has been producing sodium ion batteries for some time. I think most of those so far end up in cheap Chinese EVs. Relatively few of those have found their way to the European or North American markets yet. Part of the reason is probably the lack of sodium ion battery factories outside of China (so far). It looks like Northvolt is looking to change that.

It's competing with LFP and other battery chemistries. You'd use these mainly for cheap cars and possibly for grid storage.

Rumor has it, they had been trying to get more, and failing. No audited records of that kind of thing, of course, so could be untrue. But Altman and others had publicly said that they were attempting to get Microsoft to invest more, and he was courting sovereign wealth funds for an AI (though non-OpenAI) chip related venture, and ChatGPT had a one-day partial outage due to "capacity" constraints, which is odd if your biggest backer is a cloud company. It all sounds like they are running short on money, long before they get to profitability. Which would have been fine up until about a year ago, because someone with Altman's profile could easily get new funding for a buzz-heavy project like ChatGPT. But times are different, now...

That's fine, making the "core" of an AI assistant that rights to characters can be laid onto is bigger business than owning the characters themselves.

Well, the chips that TSMC make are incredibly coveted regardless of Apple's behavior. They would still be being paid outrageous sums compared to the other chip makers if Apple's didn't buy up their whole supply.
