It is actually that simple. The current pricing system was created for a grid that no longer exists. There is now lots of wind generation, solar, battery power, etc. And growing rapidly. Both on the grid and domestic. And soon large amounts of batteries with wheels capable of powering houses and delivering power to the grid.

All this means lots of fluctuations in power availability and cost. Pretending that it costs the same all the time everywhere is irrational. If you give people incentives to adapt to these fluctuations, they will. Energy providers like Octopus prove that at scale. They by the way are a big proponent of more localized power. Because it's just more optimal.

Price incentives cause people and companies to adapt their behavior. Including when to to use power and where to use power. Likewise, it incentivizes power companies to invest in power generation where the demand is instead of where the NIMBY's are not (like Scottland). Speaking of NIMBY's, if they could benefit from lower pricing, they'd probably love wind power a lot more. Buy more electric cars, do the laundry when it's windy, etc.

As for base load. Nobody ever specifies a number in GW or GWH. It's a very fuzzy notion that people just assert is needed in huge (unspecified) amounts. If you put actual numbers on it, you would be able to have a sane discussion on (much) cheaper alternatives. But that never happens. Most discussions around base load center on the notion that we allegedly need a lot of it. What's the budget we need to reserve for that? How much? When? Where? Why? Are there any alternatives? The debate is mostly completely irrational and hand wavy on this.

There is a basic notion that power companies don't mind charging the same rate nationally because that means they make lots of money charging for mostly cheap power available everywhere except in a handful of places. The way the system works is that everybody pays the highest price on the system. Localized prices would introduce lots of variation and cause lots of reasons for power companies to optimize their power delivery and pricing. High prices mean unhappy customers voting with their feet. They are being shielded from that currently.

It's a big reason they are resisting changes on this front. In some cases they actually get paid to not generate power or discard it. That's wasteful. Scottland has plenty of base load. They are exporting their power surplus most of the time.
No. Each POI has date properties indicating date added, date closed and last check date. Most POIs are surprisingly up to date.

You missed the “large” which adds context: “OpenAI V3 large” which is their sota large embedding model.
This seems to boil down to AI uses lots of power and some of that currently comes from nuclear so we’re going to definitely ramp up nuclear energy production. It in no way addresses the cost, regulatory, or public acceptance issues. It also completely ignores things like grid storage that could make renewables a viable alternative. I don’t know if nuclear energy production is going to increase and after reading this I’m absolutely no closer to a deeper understanding of the issue.
TIL HAR files are just JSON, I always assumed they were some kind of binary archive file. Very convenient.
I don't know the Python rules for thus but the way I understand it from C and C++ is that the read can't be removed by the optimizer because it has (or rather is considered to have) side effects. Iirc every syscall falls into this category.
What do you think? Interesting right?

If you have any question, opinion or suggestion, feel free to let me know. I would be very happy to take it.

Also if you like this project, consider to give us star at our GitHub repository and share it so the world can know better about us. Thank you everyone!!
Interesting food for thought, thanks!
thanks for the link; I didn't know about the project yet
It’s fascinating how resistant pretty much every industry is to taking lessons from aviation, considering how much empirical evidence there is compared to almost every other management paradigm, which basically amounts to “just trust me bro”.

It particularly shocked me working in shipping where the lessons can be implemented pretty much without modification since it’s all the same work except they move in 2 rather than 3 dimensions.
"Focusing on Israel" is pretty fair in this instance. Israel has been bombing many important archaeological sites recently (along with hospitals, refugee camps, humanitarian corridors, press offices, schools, etc).

Those transmission components are expected to cost the taxpayer at least £54 bn (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62085297). Transmission, of course, doesn't solve storage, which, to quote the article, "can’t really be stored or stockpiled on an industrial scale". Because it can't. Batteries are orders of magnitude less than what is needed, as is hydro.

Do you think anyone would be building mammoth turbines in the North of Scotland without access to the Southern markets? Oh yes please, I really want to invest several billion pounds in order to serve Ullapool and Wick, that makes my capitalist bones tingle.

But "nuclear expensive", and of cause that isn't to do with the planning process at all. Not if you have a competing product to sell.

The UK has the most expensive electricity in the developed world, and approximately 10 times the CO2 footprint per kWh of France, or of France since the 1980s. If the goal of the renewable energy policy was to be a world leader, it has dramatically failed.

I'm not joking. I used to be an Alpine user, but I ran it in disk mode. Any OS can probably be made to boot to RAM. You just need to get the initramfs to extract a rootfs image to RAM (tmpfs), and set that filesystem as root before handing off to init. What makes Puppy special is the stuff it does to persist changes.

People need education and job opportunities that fit their level of education/intelect and pay a living wage, not handouts that don't even cover the cost of living. Believe it or not most people would rather work a meaningful job and be part of a productive community rather than bum around on welfare doing nothing.

But when most low-skill/unskilled jobs have been sent off to Asia, a lot of people have been left out of the economy and the community if they didn't upskill themselves into well paying jobs early on in life. "Just learn to code bro" /s

It's a self inflicted problem the post-industrial west has created for the sake of privatizing corporate profits while socializing the losses to society leaving it for the state to fix, which they haven't.

I live in the Florida. My employer at the time changed to RTO and offered to pay for relocation. I was making just shy of $400k. I resigned. I now make a little over $200k still WFH. My mortgage is $2k a month. Good size house with a pool and yard in a really nice gated community. I have no car payments, no student loans, and no credit card debt. My partner's income isn't even in six figures.

We live in a top-rated school district, although our kids are homeschooled, and will likely go private for high school. We live well-below our means.

If you use it SaaS style and if you choose Llama or similar you are good. You can run it anywhere you can run a GPU. It is like using Linux on AWS. You get banned you can use Azure.
It doesn't relate to it very much.

It's based on another article that claims that people mostly interacting in their own social bubble, fueled by algorithms which mostly isolate people further, is akin to making the Internet a dark forest.
My 2¢:
I agree formats (in)compatibility is by far the major showstopper in adopting LO. MS Office formats indeed rule, like it or not
• Starting with v7.4, back in August 2022, LO is giving formats compatibility the attention they deserve (https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2022/08/18/libreoff...)
Maybe it's too little, too late, and it doesn't look aligned with the state of 'Microsoft Office compatibility' wiki page (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/012#Microsof...
• I am no expert, but how formats with ISO are so hard to implement is beyond me
I consider OO and its other remaining forks a waste of effort. Aligning their combined forces with LO, however, could make a huge difference in the formats compatibility effort. Then again, this is the plague (and beauty) of open source projects…

It's a measure of the failure of nuclear power that a blogger making wild predictions is estimating that the country with the most nuclear plants installed will be getting less than half their new power from it in a decade.
Ok I guess we've all got to learn it at some point. Maybe there should be some kind of test of lessons that "the industry" has learnt for new people. Anyway...

1. There's no semantic different between `assert` and `doAssert`. Does `assert` not "do" the assert? Of course it does. The names are meant to communicate what the functions do, and these fail. It should be called `assert` and `always_assert` or something....

2. Except that it shouldn't because the "obvious" one to use (`assert`) should be the safest. People don't always read the manual (including you) and they sometimes make mistakes (yes, including you), so the default actions should be safe. Danger should be opt-in, not opt-out-if-you-happen-to-know-you-have-to.

That's why it's `assert`/`debug_assert` not `release_assert`/`assert`.

There are a couple of famous examples where they got it completely wrong: Python's YAML library has `load` and `load_safe`. MySQL has `escape` and `real_escape`. There's probably more.

Would you buy wind power if somebody provided that close to where you live? The way the system currently works is that you see no benefit at all if wind towers are close to where you live. Because somebody on the complete opposite side of the country only has access to gas power and the national prices are set for the highest price needed anywhere in the country. You are effectively subsidizing those people. Not the other way around. Your rates are high because gas is expensive and has to be shipped in in LNG form these days. No matter where you live in the country.
What an awful title and premise. Senior leaders who can't take feedback without firing you should be fired immediately.

Perhaps the biggest issue isn't public acceptance, but simply we stuck at building fission plants, even when we intend to.

I was pro nuclear power sixteen years sixteen years ago (these days I'm more ambivalent). In that time the UK has built maybe three quarters of a nuclear power plant.

Nuclear waste sucks but carbon in the atmosphere is way worse. But we're incapable of increasing nuclear production. Meanwhile renewables have gotten way cheaper and storage is beginning to look feasible.
I'm thinking probably a better chance of an independent KYC system if Mr Altman is not involved. :)
There should be a rule whereby charities are required to have a large percentage of their jobs given to the class they're trying to help.

This could help make the size and number of said charities to be self-regulating with the problem they're trying to solve. They will grow in number whilst the problem is large, but as it subsides they naturally go down. All at the same time giving those people who are in need, money that would be otherwise given to people who don't necessarily need it from that source.
Well, nazis had not been invented yet in 18xx, but same line of thinking.

Do assert and assert, what's the difference?
Something like debugassert and alwaysAssert would be much more understandable
I agree; however, engine developers are already dedicated to building massive behemoths of software that is the game engine and they constantly do collaborate with driver devs, essentially sharing much of the same skillset.

Also, the onus is actually on the GPU manufacturers (not game engine devs) to simplify the programmability of the GPUs to the level we have for CPUs (we also do not write microcode, however, the programmability is much much simpler with access to good compiler toolchains). This will massively help non game engine developers who need GPUs for other kinds of compute.
I've never understood how a homeless person with no resources would move across the country for better handouts. Like I'd buy some anecdotal cases but most homeless I see aren't saving enough for a bus ticket.

Sure, but thinking of all data centres as gambling is just going to lead to poor conclusions, no?
Sounds like you’ve fallen for some farmer rhetoric.. How is growning crops to feed 28 million pigs to 6 million people? We’d have to eat 5 pigs each.. If it was really about food security, we’d surely plant crops to eat ourselves, which is much more efficient in terms of calorie per m^2.

Meat has many more negative externalities than plants. Thats the argument for substituting green farming.

Of course it’s political.. anything is to some degree.
It’s also important to note that scrum masters, product owners and business analysts, despite what the company org chart may lead you to believe, belong to middle management and need to be treated accordingly.

Scrum masters are particularly dangerous because they are highly skilled at blending in by speaking and acting like developers. That’s why they are so popular to spend project money on despite their apparent uselessness.
We certainly see this in the US as well, employed homelessness.

Most fraud comes from the top, not the bottom. What if there's no work to be done? What about those that can't do physical work? Should the sick ones still have to work just to eat today?

It wouldn't cost that much to give a small roof and food to every homeless person in my country, and becoming a productive member of society is vastly easier when you don't have to worry about your next meal.

But no, "some might cheat the system", or "it's not fair to give money to lazy bums", etc.

We could basically eradicate homelessness at small economic cost, which I believe would be a net positive on the long term, but we don't because of an irrational fear of the poorest members of society cheating the system.
Minecraft is probably one of the most profitable IPs of all time.
yes, people post bad content all the time; however I'm not against that kind of content.

I have problems with:

- bot posts
- ... which influence some real users
- ... which then, combined with more bot posts, influence the rest of users

solving the problem of "free speech" on the internet obviously won't be done by implementing a proof of human uniqueness; I believe it's a problem, that will always remain to a certain degree. however, I believe that we can reduce the size of the problem from where its at now, to a significantly smaller size (e.g. 2000s era)
So to be clear this is just a blog throwing out unfounded predictions?
You can see 2 comments on that page, 6y ago, saying the meme is not relevant enough for it's own entry
Anybody can predict anything. This seems extremely unlikely, unless we magically start building a whole lot of plants today, and they somehow are able to be finished in 10 years. The author of this blog seems completely out of touch.
Well, Tesla is way more streamlined than the large, old, over-bloated ship that is Mercedes. Love or hate Musk, he knows how to run a very tight ship.

While a lot of Mercedes's budget goes to armies of overpaid managers who do nothing except waste time in endless meetings where they either argue and backstab each other, or high-five and backstab each other, in order to advance their careers. Not an environment that breeds innovation and creativity at a high pace.

Whatever is left goes to engineers that do actual work.
I wonder why Bocker makes the frontpage so often. Is Docker still that controversial even in 2024? Why people don't recognize that it actually brought something useful (mainly, software distribution and easy of "run everywhere") to the table?
Let's not confuse demographics. There is a struggling working class who are employed but barely getting by. Then there are people who for various reasons have completely given up on life and actively avoid work, probably getting by on some subsistence from government security programs like disability and the dole.
At the risk of looking like [0] guy, i suggest this is incredibly far from the truth.

First of all, because building a new nuclear plant in 10 years is all but impossible. Therefore, since there isn't many of them under construction now already, not many will be built within 10 years regardless of demand.

Secondly, if demand comes from AI, it is used for training AI models and is thus not very time-sensitive. If those data centres can buy electricity very cheaply, they will happily do it half of the time, especially as GPUs wear out from constant use, and have a longer "moral" lifespan due to obsolescence than physical, so they won't be losing much from keeping them off for part of the day if that buys them much cheaper power - and buying it NOW, not in 10 years. In this case, AI can even help deployment of renewables because they can feed extra "free" electricity during peak production hours, to the data centres, getting something rather than nothing for it, thus reducing "duck curve" problem of curtailment.

what will happen is that we'll pay them and they will simply sell their labour to whoever else will buy it and still burn up the same resources/cause pollution/realease co2. It's like when we pay poachers not to kill elephants - they take the money and still sell the tusks.

Have you tried Mastodon / Fediverse with no promotion algorithm based on engagement? It feels very different to Twitter even pre-Musk.

Also: I run an informational bot, which is why I was on Twitter until Musk turned all that access off. Not all bots are bad any more than all humans. Intent is important.
