By far the most common PV systems are single-junction monocrystalline silicon. These have had pretty decent ERoEI for many years (9–10 according to https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy17osti/67901.pdf, but the energy required for PV modules has dropped precipitously since then) and don't use any rare-earth minerals.

Wind turbines have typically had even higher ERoEI (15–20 according to https://davidturver.substack.com/p/eroei-eroi-of-onshore-off...), and, while they do most commonly use rare earths, that's an engineering tradeoff rather than necessary; currently viable alternatives include switched-reluctance-machine generators (which just use conventional electrical steel, like transformers and relays) and other kinds of rare-earth-free generators: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142071...

LLM output isn't 'error' or 'hallucination' because it can only resemble human language. There is no intent. There is nothing being communicated.

If LLMs output text, that is always the correct output, because it is programmed to extend a given piece of text by outputting tokens that translate to human readable text.

LLMs are only coincidentally correct sometimes when it is given a bit of text to extend and by some clever stopping and waiting for bits of text from a person it can render something that looks like a conversation and it reads like a cogent conversation. That is what they are programmed to do and they do it well.

The text being coherent but failing to conform to reality some way or another is just part of how they work. They are not failing, they are working as intended. They don't hallucinate or produce errors, they are merely sometimes coincidentally correct.

That's what I meant by my comment. Saying that the LLMs 'hallucinate' or 'are wrong about something' is incorrect. They are not producing errors. They are successfully doing what they were programmed to do. LLMs produce sloppy text that is sometimes coincidentally informative.
I would definitely buy one, assuming there was some guarantee on parts availability "for the lifespan of the company up to X decades" or some similarly long time.

I would doubly do so if the design were open-source.

I would triply do so if I could have all my new home appliances this way. I tossed my last fridge and my last washing machine over parts which would have been in the single-digit dollars to manufacture.

If the author is not commercializing this, the design and instructions should be open-sourced (and, ideally, advertised to a Chinese discount company).
Yes. People do not want to give up some finite freedoms in exchange for preserving their lineage. This is a very modern and sad problem and the source of so much angst of the middle aged. But of course, most people are too hedonistic and self absorbed to realise this.

Ah - I need to remember to coffee before posting in the AM.

Yes, the mismatch between the response headers and the content is a problem. Unfortunately, IME browsers often do "fix ups" of headers that make them less than reliable, this might be one of them -- it's effectively rewriting the response but failing to update all of the metadata.

The bug summary says "Chrome returns wrong status code while using range header with caches." That's indeed not a bug. I think the most concerning thing here is that the Content-Range header is obviously incorrect, so Chrome should either be updating it or producing a clear error to alert you -- which it looks like the Chrome dev acknowledges when they say "it is probably a bug that there is no AbortError exception on the read".

I might try to add some tests for this to https://cache-tests.fyi/#partial
True. Well, I still don't disagree with the initial policy of opening trade with Russia. It's just that Europe should have realized much earlier that in Putin's hands, Russia was becoming more hostile again. And after they invaded Georgia and Ukraine in 2008 and 2014, they should have cut ties immediately, and not invest in more ties.

Though I suppose you could argue the same is true after China's expansion into the South China Sea. But even then, China isn't remotely as aggressive, expansionist or hostile as Russia is. And their government, although totalitarian and unfree, is at least competent. Although Xi's narcissism and vanity are definitely a bad sign.

> Reading and understanding text is much slower than just listening.

Speak for yourself! I read _much_ faster than listening to someone saying the same thing. This is why I can't stand subtitles on videos, movies, and tv shows. Because of how my brain works, I can't help but read the text. And when it's there, I'm done reading the person's line when they are only 25-50% through speaking it. So it "feels" like I'm watching a show where everyone repeats the last half of every sentence.

Are we planning to coexist with aliens or do we colonize them?

We struggle to get along with ourselves. We struggle to visit the moon. We can't even survive in a controlled simulation of another planet.

It is not even clear that we are anywhere near passing the phase of wars with one another.

If another species exists that manages to get all the way here the decision regarding what happens will be entirely up to them in my opinion.

In Mercurial, you are ideally using TortoiseHg. When you make a commit, you can quite easily choose which files or hunks or lines to commit (and which not to commit, obviously). In that sense, the GUI acts as the staging area.

For Jujutsu, there's two good options I know of:

1. Use "jj commit -i". This opens up a screen which lets you interactively select files/hunks/lines to commit. You can also pass in a "--tool" commit to use something like Meld.

2. Use the "squash workflow" - basically making your own staging area using jj's flexibility. I can't explain it better than Steve does: https://steveklabnik.github.io/jujutsu-tutorial/real-world-w...
Fun fact:
Turning off permessage deflate is nearly impossible when browsers are in the mix, best
Option is to strip the header in a reverse proxy, since many browsers ignore the setting and emits the header despite your configs - add to that that most SERVERs assume the client knows what it is doing and adhere to the header request while not allowing a global override to turn it off.

Because money paid to the government contractor results in a person (persons?) getting paid along the way and then a large part of that flows into the real economy via consumption / spending.

In your $50 trillion poem example, no money can possibly flow into the real economy because you simply do not have $50 trillion to pay anyone - you're just describing a wash trade of a worthless $50 trillion IOU note not unlike a NFT or crypto memecoin. Best case is that the poem is worth something non-negative.

I am not entirely sure what I should make out of this response. You are not attacking the position that Ukraine in NATO is a potential security threat to Russia, you are only saying that they are not acting accordingly. Does that imply that you are agreeing that having a competing military alliance at your border is a potential security threat?

Besides that I can think of several reasons why Russia only has fields. Firstly, Ukraine is not yet in NATO, so any defensive measures would be premature. And they invaded Ukraine to maintain that state which seems a way stronger reaction then constructing defensive lines. Also building defensive lines implies worries about a ground invasion and it is not obvious to me that this would be Russia's primary concern.

They might, for example, be mainly worried about the nuclear balance. If the USA could place ABM defense systems closer to Russia, they might be able to more efficiently intercept Russian ICBMs in the boost phase when the missiles are still relatively slow and vulnerable. That would diminish the Russian retaliatory strike threat in case of a US nuclear attack. Also having weapons closer to the target reduces the reaction time the enemy has. For that kind of risk ground defense lines it not the reaction one would expect.

It might also be for simple reasons like a lack of resources. Or Russia might refrain from doing what it does not want NATO to do.

We build web3 developer tools and are most focused on solving the "schlep" types of problems that every team ends up building in house but shouldn't have to.

Building stuff in crypto today is really hard. Imagine if you wanted to put up a personal website and all you had to do was start by breaking ground to build a data center. Your personal page probably would not be that good, would it? Small teams can only focus on so many things; we want them to use center so they can focus on the details that truly matter and make products beautiful.

We want to eliminate all of these annoying, cumbersome, expensive problems that devs face so that they can build incredible user experiences that help people flourish and rise to the level of their ambition, without having to think about if their nodes are online or if their indexer is missing any data.

We started about 3 years ago and have finally started to find product market fit. We're looking to scale the engineering team so that we can finally bring our products to market.

Our investors include Founders Fund, Thrive Capital, SV Angel, @balajis, and many more incredible folks who have taken a chance on us; it's been my mission for the last 3+ years to make sure that everyone involved in this venture does phenomenally well.

> doesn't appear to be tested on the iPhone SE 3

Reminds me of the old days working at Motorola. Your feature branches were merged into a biweekly dev branch, which needed to be “sanity tested” before it could get merged into the branch that the QA folks validated. Every software engineer was on a lab rotation: when it was your turn, you and a couple others that made up your team went to a different building and descended into the hardware lab where you didn’t come out until you had created a working mobile phone network from scratch and tested it with a wide variety of phones -basically anything that could work. They had shelves with bins of everything: early unreleased smartphones (this was way before the iPhone), junky flip phones, RAZRs, StarTacs, bag phones, etc.

It was honestly a lot of fun to see the hardware side of what you were working on, and to ensure that documentation and checklists were always sufficient.

Apple is probably way too secretive to do anything like that :(

I use LLMs and consider them quite useful, but I think that characterization of detractors is very disingenuous. People don't object to LLMs out of greed and entitlement. People object to LLMs because the copyright and IP systems in most of the modern world have equated copying with theft for so long, complete with the threat of legal action and even prison sentences. This system was said to be there to keep people fed and employed. Suddenly, when giant companies have billions of dollars to gain by ignoring copyright, they are allowed to. We've lived in a couple generations where giant companies have been able to completely own and control our culture, which should belong to the people.

People object to modern AI because it's another glaring sign that capital doesn't care about human life, and the people who own the capital largely don't either. They will use that as a PR angle until it's not useful anymore, and then proudly say the opposite when it suits them. It's flagrant hypocrisy.

I believe that if we had sane copyright terms and limits so we were actually entitled to use and share our own culture and media as we see fit, and better social safety nets so people whose jobs become outmoded didn't have to worry about losing their homes and having their families go hungry, very few people would be actually against LLMs.
Gotta stab it hard in those holes.

1. No it shouldn't be - it should be a look at Natural Gas/Coal generating facilities vs other technology.

2. How can you say Nuclear has underdelivered? Have you ever looked at the amount of nuclear deployment globally - does geothermal even get up to 0.1%? The cost of new Nuclear is a large function of the regulatory burdens especially in North America.

Don't read me wrong -- I'm all for geothermal but it certainly hasn't delivered on its promises and has only really worked out in uniquely favorable conditions (i.e. Iceland).
