Still, it's a food for thought. I know correlation is not causation but there might be some link that hits some folks unexpectedly hard. I was taking sildenafil to improve brain hypoperfusion from long covid and one day a fast growing mole appeared on my arm that reached 2cm diameter in a few days - the suspicion was on nodular melanoma or pyogenic granuloma and it turned out to be the latter. I stopped taking sildenafil immediately. I am in the socioeconomic group they mentioned.
I highly recommend inoreader.com. It is like the old google reader on steroids. It is the first app I open in the morning to get my news and my personal feed consists of some 4000 single feeds from everything that I gathered on the internet. All nicely organized with filters and folders. It is a bessing for keeping up with youtube content, because all channels appear as single feeds that you can organize. You can put several single RSS feeds into a folder which presents itself again as a feed.
The combination of SREC and net-metering feels insane.

If you spend $25K on a solar installation, does the value of your home increase by $25K?

This angle isn't mentioned in the article. Overall the profitability of the installation seems shaky and depends on various government interventions that probably won't be around forever.

If we model the solar installation as a conversion of cash into home equity however, the calculus changes. You are buying home equity and getting reduced energy bills in the process. You almost certainly come out ahead, the panels are in a sense free, other than costing you some liquidity.

Googling around a Zillow study says solar installations increase the value of a home by 4% on average.

The article also didn't touch on maintenance costs.
You can't prevent overpopulation: it has already occured. The carrying capacity of the planet is far exceeded.

A reduction in population would have immediate benefits: less manufacturing, less energy use, less pollution, less consumption, more land available for wildlife instead of stock/agricuture.

But what that means is "no growth" and "less money", which is not a popular concept in economics, politics and wealthy people, and they largely set the discourse.

It's been said that we're the only species that won't save itself because it's not cost effective. Damn right.
What do you mean by fully self hosted? Not on heroku? On a physical server? Some confuse it with Parse, which ran on their PaaS, before it was open sourced.

I do like it as a middle "low code option" as opposed to the complex no code options like Wordpress or doing the whole stack to build something that might not even sell. Honestly, Firebase has caught up to it in development speed and documentation, but Firebase feels ironically less scalable.
Oh, this is nice! Thanks for the recommendation!

On a glance, it looks like Pocket Base is easier and faster to set up but Parse Server might scale better, just because it's tied in with MongoDB by default. SQLite is an interesting choice, but 10k persistent real time connections is pretty much near the point where you should be hiring someone to scale it up.

Supporting Google login out of the box is a major plus, and the dashboard works great on mobile.

Also, as you alluded to, if you're changing related code which will require manual testing, then that decreases testing costs, if they're shared across the refactor and the new code.

One thing I didn’t figure out from just the paper: how does one train these parameters that are not even approximately real numbers? Specifically, most of the parameters are ternary (i.e. -1, 0, or 1). The approximate gradient discussed in the paper will (I think) give some real gradient on each parameter, and that can be further processed by the learning rate schedule, but the result is still a real number g_i for each parameter a_i. Normally one would update a_i to a_i + g_i, but with these ternary parameters, a_i + g_i isn’t ternary!

So what’s the extra trick to make the model stay quantized? Does one evaluate the gradients on a whole bunch of training inputs, add them up, apply some randomness, and then re-quantize the model? Or is it something else?
RSS works great if the amount of content is manageable. The problem social media feeds (or any other feed for that matter) solve is curation/filtering.

I live in DC like the author and went solar in 2020. I want to emphasize that DC's energy credit (SREC) prices are the only reason that solar makes financial sense here - perhaps anywhere.

Without SRECs, we would be losing money. Our SREC payouts have averaged $380/MWh over the past four years. When last I checked, this was by far the best price on offer in the US. I've seen "solar is a scam" posts across the Internet. Given the numbers, I'm inclined to believe that's true wherever SREC prices are below, say, $250/MWh.

I keep a detailed spreadsheet and have been meaning to write a similar blog post. The short story is that we have made more money overall from SRECs than from savings on our monthly bill.
Is this the successor to Dokku? I didn't know you had a second project.

We had to go solar last year due to our two hour per day power outages - 3,1 Kw array with 10Kw battery storage.

I use about 800Kwh per month before solar was installed and now it is down to 400 Kwh - our biggest power usage is our water heater (geyser) but that is solar powered.

Coolant is heated in vacuum tubes on the roof and then the heat exchanged with the water in the cylinder.
thanks, didn't know about that. with all that censorship i been backing up a lot of programs and source tarballs locally. perhaps one day i'll go completely offline and off the grid and move to the mountains or some shit like Tuva where i will have goats and cows livestock. it's all getting so tiresome, i want out of this technological hell.
It might be possible to make video encoders run on these NPUs. If I remember correctly the 8700G had 32 tiles. Even if the vectorization performance is weak, this should still encode a single 1080p stream at no CPU usage for the main CPU.
This looks good, and Dokku has been very solid for me, but removing the Docker dependency means that now I'm beholden to my OS's choices. For apps that might run for years without maintenance, that's not ideal, as you'll quickly find you need a specific version of the OS for them.

Looking at the chart before reading the article, I thought that their peak hourly output is just above 1.5kWh (sort of like you'd read a speed chart in {m|km}ph). Then the author says they have an 8.28kW system.

It'd have been useful to also share a normalised graph, sort of like "in the last 15 minutes we produced an equivalent of 6kWh". I had to infer it by counting the number of bars in a 3 hour interval.

Then ~6kWh during peak time in their peak month, seems more informative.

I'll probably be downvoted but this code shows why I'm put off by htmx. The belief that just because you write the least amount of code, it always means that it's the simplest solution. To me, that's a lot harder to understand than if I used React. Having tried both, I found the learning curve pretty much the same.
It is indeed insane. It's amazing and scary what people can think is "normal". This person saves 3k credits per year on electricity. That's 3x the price of my entire year of energy and I'm sure the unit cost where I live (the UK) is higher. I pay attention to how much energy I use. Resist putting the heating on etc. While other people are leaving a footprint 10x as big and thinking nothing of it.
It's all about being ready to carpe diem https://youtu.be/jagh3l5lMvY?t=181
When we went solar in DC (like the OP), the solar company offered a zero-cost option. The way this works is that the solar company owns the panels, while the customer enjoys the energy savings and IIRC a small slice of the SRECs.
Our lowest consumption months (when the weather is nice) are 300 kWh/mo (10 kWh/day), and our highest are 900 kWh/mo (30 kWh/day), all depending on the heating and cooling needs. And this not counting cooking or hot water (which use gas)

I don't know about the size of their codebase or the extent that it has consumers outside of the repository the author has access too, but once a code smell like this has been identified, it seems a bit strange not to just eliminate it completely straight away.

The hacks he describes seem like a good first pass to identify how much of the code relies write access rather than just read-only without having to change all the legacy code, but IMHO it'd be better to just move the member into the private section and then fix up the compile errors that produces.

Sure, fixing up all the compile issues requires a bit more upfront work, but it stops anyone else using the deprecated interface, and makes the design a bit more consistent when all access is done the same way. Having identified the legacy code use and then shoving it under the carpet just makes this someone else's problem in the future, and they will have to waste some time to go down a similar discovery path, potentially discovering an even bigger problem at that stage.

I think energy independence is more important than not potentially financing terrorists.

I don’t understand how not everyone can be on board with renewable energy and EVs. Even if your country exports more oil than it produces, like USA, it can still be dependent on oil production from the Middle East due to the logistics and differences in the type of oil produced.

Even if you live ICE you should support EVs with all your heart. The less people are using oil for fuel the more gasoline the less likely it is that fuel will get more and more expensive, and the more likely it is that your country won’t be completely incapacitated when the next oil crisis hits.

Do people love so much being slaves to Middle Eastern autocracies?
RSS still leads to a lot of wasted time. Being in charge of your own feed does not mean it will remain lean and sweet.

The ideal of browsing your RSS feed in the morning cup of coffee in hand just like your father read the morning paper and then got on with his day is mostly just a fantasy.

What happens in reality is that you more or less quickly ammass a big list of blogs and sources that gets updated by the hour and you end up either ignoring most of the entries or you check on them multiple times a day and you waste your time sieving through a stream of countless new content

Ditto on the recommendation, I’ve been using them since the 2013 launch.

Over the years, web has sadly become a bit more closed in terms of having accessible feeds and such. Firehosing is another problem, when some sites just offer one feed that has way too much in it.

But when it works, it works great. In addition to RSS, I also run newsletters, YouTube, and a few other things through it.
I don't think the expectation that you can save money with rooftop solar will be economically sustainable in medium or long term. Energy (and nearly everything) produced at scale is simply cheaper whether thermal, solar PV, wind, etc.

Having rooftop solar should be viewed as analogous to having a home diesel generator (without being filthy for the environment). The goal isn't to save money by "doing it yourself at home" but there are other benefits like energy independence, redundancy, backup, etc.

The gridscale/utility market in PV is absolutely booming - "Solar and battery storage to make up 81% of new U.S. electric-generating capacity in 2024"[1] and is constrained by supply of batteries and PV panels. As someone deeply concerned about global warming, I'd rather any available PV panels be used in the most effective way to reduce CO2 emissions and that is in a grid-scale installation.

There might have been a case for direct and indirect incentives for homeowners to install PV 10 years ago to help boost overall demand for PV panels but there is no such need these days - the industry is booming and supply is a bigger issue than demand.

Of course insurance companies need to make a profit. That does not mean they are scams. Hitting a pothole will almost always be either your fault or the local governments fault. Insurance companies are incentivized to make competitive quotes when possible.

Your thought of not having insurance demonstrates you are not thinking about this the right way at all. Your state requires liability which will pay out claims against yourself.

I guess this mostly depends on what kind of things you subscribe to. 95% of my sources are personal blogs of software developers or artists and most of them blog weekly or more rarely.

I couldn't handle a feed where sources update multiple times a day, it would just become a pain.

It can definitely make a big difference. DC’s latitude is 38 degrees. That’s about the same gap to Miami (25 degrees). Think about shining a flashlight perpendicular to the ground vs at an angle.

Beyond the dynamics of direct irradiance, there’s also weather to consider- if you live in a significantly cloudier area (which might be possible, assuming you live in Canada or Germany/netherlands/etc based off that latitude), that will obviously affect output.

And then there is also things like building-to-building shading, in case you live in a dense area… lots of things can affect this kind of calculation.

This is the functionality that really drove me away from social platforms, other than Mastodon. I prefer human curation over automatic recommendations for a couple of reasons:

1) Human curation creates less suggestions which makes it more manageable to go through

2) If I trust the source of the recommendation and know what they like, I can adjust my trust in the recommendation itself

3) A friend telling me something they enjoy is not motivated by money

If people want some specific changes, such as real, well-provided single-payer healthcare without the involvement of for-profit insurance companies, and universal prescription coverage, then they need to follow the examples of Roman women: mass, nonviolent action that targets the pocketbooks of the billionaires and the gold-bar-taking crooked politicians in a sustained manner.

Medicare is incomplete, complex, confusing, expensive to the patient, and outsources much of itself to for-profit insurance companies. And Medicaid is terrible, offering only sometimes temporary and limited coverage for very poor people during emergencies and minimal care because few doctors accept it.

> If you spend $25K on a solar installation, does the value of your home increase by $25K?

I spent $25k to install solar in 2020 (also in DC like OP). The solar company estimated that my home value increased by $14K.

As part of the install, I bundled a "heavy-up" for $5K, which is an upgrade my house needed, but not strictly part of the renewable energy system. So total cash outlay was $30K.

I immediately got back 26% in a federal tax credit: $7.8K

So on balance, my system cost $8K cash, which was paid down by energy savings and SRECs within three years. The SRECs made the biggest impact.
