That video's conclusion is misleading - he's only shifting his fridge's energy consumption. That's not actually much in the grand scheme of things - it's a well-insulated box that is already a thermal battery. In fact, he only discharged his power bank to 64% at the end of the day, so he didn't even use up his full capacity (that he paid for and is factored in his spreadsheet).

Batteries can provide significant savings but for that you need to actually use them fully, either by load-shifting significant loads (if you have enough to fully consume the battery capacity), or just charging/discharging the battery directly into the grid (essentially acting like a grid storage system - charging the battery to full when energy is the cheapest, and dumping it back when it's the most profitable). Even better when you have solar - instead of selling that energy at low feed-in prices, save it in batteries and use it once the sun goes down so (if you have enough battery capacity) you never ever need to actually "buy" any energy from the grid.

I believe the Pila can technically do the above, although its battery capacity is probably too small to ever recoup its purchase price on this type of arbitrage. However, the underlying concept is absolutely workable and profitable with the right equipment.
It's funny you invoke some trad/conservative appeal to tradition, and meanwhile China's imperial history of bureaucratic machinery is never pointed to as an example of "look, technocratic meritocracy works".

While I appreciate the sentiment and underlying truth to what you are saying, one of the more sinister, real effects of this order will be that virtually all federal employees who are employed for multilingual reasons, can now be argued redundant. When you consider the racial and cultural backgrounds likely in foreign language speakers, the defacto action is to fire a lot of nonwhite people.
That doesn't work for issues that are of secondary or tertiary importance from the perspective of almost all voters.

Especially in horrible electoral systems like the ones in UK you have to pick the least bad out of 2 options (every vote for third party is wasted).

I also really doubt that conservatives would behave any differently.

I'm going through this right now. Not anywhere in this scale, but just in terms of deciding whether to move an order-tracking/accounting system I've built in Excel to a "real" database.

The database I am considering (Panorama X for Mac) is quite inexpensive, I've heard very good things about it, and has a spreadsheet-like UI. However, I've used Excel enough to know that I haven't tapped more than a small fraction of its ability, especially things like Power Query. As much as I loathe VBA, what if the cost of moving to a "real" database isn't the up-front cost, but the longer-term inflexibility of Panorama (and, pretty much, anything else in my price range) compared to the beast that is Excel?
The campaign is using Go packages just as a mechanism to download a ransomware for Linux systems, and it specifically checks if the Documents/ directory exists for the current user. If it doesn't exist it does nothing.

The average American uses 917 gallons of oil a year. If every person in the world used that much we would deplete all known oil reserves in 10 years. That is 5 times faster than we are today. There will be more oil found, but it's going to get a lot more expensive really fast.

If you look at the pricing trend of a single house, it tells quite a story

In my city, A house that would have been 80k in the 80s is listed between 500-600k today, depending on the neighborhood and how updated it is

In the 80s you could get a 15-20 year mortgage at 20%

Now you get a 30 year mortgage at 5%

If your monthly payment today is less than it would be at 20%, it is only because you are expected to be paying for it at least an extra 10 years compared to the past

There is absolutely no question that houses are less affordable today than they used to be

And that's before even thinking about how salaries haven't grown anywhere near as quickly as real estate prices
Are there particularly good news sources to follow? I'm not sure what to follow to get either the source material or good commentary.
No straws to clutch here. I've made such and other functions available to LLMs in order to implement some great functionality that would otherwise not have been possible. And they do a relatively good job. One of the issues is that they're not really reliable / deterministic. What the LLM does / is capable of today might not be what it does tomorrow or with just ever so slightly different context added via the prompts used by the user today vs. yesterday.

You are correct in that the date thing by itself, if that was the only thing would not be such a big deal.

But the date thing and confidently telling me the wrong date is a symptom and stand-in example of what LLMs will do in way too many situations and regular people don't understand this. Like I said, not very intelligent / confident people will do the same thing. But with people you generally have a "BS meter" and trust level. If you ask a random stranger on the street what time it is and they confidently tell you that it's exactly 11:20:32 a.m. without looking at their watch/phone, you know it's 99.99% BS. (again, just a stand in example, replace with 'Give me timeline of the most important thing that happened during WWII on a day by day basis' or whatever you can come up with). Yet people trust the output of LLMs with answers to questions where the user has no real way to know where on the BS meter this ranks. And they just believe them.

Happened to me today at work. LLM very confidently made up large swaths of data because it "figured out" that the test env we had was using the Star Trek universe characters and objects for test data. Had no base in reality and it basically had to ignore almost all the data that we actually returned from one of these "Get the current date" type functions we make available to it.

Thanks LLM!

In 1835, England already had inter-city railways and most textile mills were using steam engines. If you were an Englishmen in 1835, you'd absolutely look out at India and see English civilization as being from a higher state. And, based on the empirical evidence before your eyes, it would be extremely progressive of you to posit that the difference between you and those Indians was something that could be bridged by education.

What are the environmental requirements for Pila?

My well pump is 120V, but I don't keep it in my house. It's in a shed out back built over the well and tank. The shed is not insulated, but does have a 400W space heater plugged into one of these [1] that tries to keep it above freezing in there. I think most of the time it succeeds but it is possible that for a few days a year it might get below freezing for a while.

I have no idea what the humidity is like, or how hot it can get in the summer.

Would the current Pila be OK in that kind of environment?

shared religious beliefs, is possibly the biggest lie. As recently as the '60s there were questions about whether people would accept a "papist" president in the form of JFK. at least part of the reason why the separation of church and state existed was because otherwise it would've meant picking one of the many versions of Christianity or otherwise that had sought refuge in the US, which would mean excluding the others. The Quakers, the Puritans, the Pilgrims, the Catholics, the Anglicans, etc. were all very different and had very different opinions of each other.
> Maybe it's a defeatist attitude, but I feel like sometimes the problem is the problem, and pushing abstractions only works to defer the requirements to understand it

That's also my impression and experience.

And sometimes there is no problem at all, but abstractions are still pushed too far and then a problem arises in the form of non-essential complexity.

Got it—no constraints, mostly PDFs in → PDFs out, with 90% of answers covered in a Google Doc answer bank.

Given that, here’s a streamlined approach:

1. Extract RFP Content

Azure Form Recognizer, AWS Textract, or Adobe Acrobat API can extract text and structure from PDFs.

If RFPs follow a standard layout, LlamaIndex or LangChain can help chunk and categorize sections.

2. Retrieve and Insert Answers

Use Google Docs API to pull relevant responses based on keyword or semantic search.

OpenAI Assistants API or Claude 3 can rephrase and tailor the responses dynamically.

3. Automate Formatting with a Template

Microsoft Copilot (Word/Excel + SharePoint):

Copilot can fetch Google Doc answers and insert them into a predefined template.

If you standardize the output format in Word, you can generate a PDF-ready final draft.

Alternative: Python + Pandoc + Jinja2 templates if you want a more controlled workflow.

4. Output Final PDF

Convert the formatted document to PDF using Word’s built-in save-to-PDF, Pandoc, or LibreOffice headless mode.

**
Low-Code Implementation

If you're looking for minimal coding:

Microsoft Power Automate + Copilot → Automatically extract, populate, and format RFP responses.

Zapier + OpenAI + Google Docs → Retrieve answers, format them, and push to a doc/PDF.

Would Copilot’s Word integration work within your workflow, or do you need more automation for final formatting?

If you want a completely hands-off approach, a small workflow automation script could eliminate the remaining 20% of manual work.
Doesn't your addition of a "yet" imply the parent is correct? We don't need to have a working counterexample in existence for that "truth" to be wrong, we just need to see that such a project is not "intrinsically doomed to fail".

Twenty years ago such projects were intrinsically doomed to fail. Today, they are on the cusp of not failing.
This was touched on in the video a little bit—essentially, the TypeScript codebase has a lot of polymorphic function calls, and so is generally hard to JIT optimize. JS to Go therefore yielded a direct ~3.5x improvement.

The rest of the 10x comes from multi-threading, which wasn't possible to do in a simple way in the JS compiler (efficient multithreading while writing idiomatic code is hard in JS).

JavaScript is very fast for single-threaded programs with monomorphic functions, but in the TypeScript compiler's case, the polymorphic functions and opportunity for parallelization mean that Go is substantially faster while keeping the same overall program structure.

Yeah, according to most of the articles reporting on this there are over a billion ESP32s out there. I suspect that the 1 billion number is actually counting the ESP8266 as well, but still there are a lot of them and I see them used in a lot of "real" products.

That conclusion all depends on how much extra power the UPS uses while acting as a pass-through. I think the SOLIX doesn't directly pass through the power so it's having the inefficiencies of conversion to and from AC-DC-AC, maybe this version has a more efficient pass-through system?

> How many people regularly experience power outages

Anecdotally in a major city it was rare I would not have a power outage several times a year. In a more rural location now, it's rare I have a month without a power outage, some very extended.

We have a backup generator and it has saved our frozen foods at least a dozen times over the last few years. Installing a backup generator costs about $10k for a whole house permanently installed unit, so it's not a small cost, and the running and maintenance costs are not zero ($5 an hour when running, $100+ a year for parts and consumables)

America is nowhere close to going to war with Canada. Tariffs are import taxes, not weapons of war. Good lord.
In Spain all (national) government forms, documents, and services are Spanish only. Even in autonomous regions such as Catalonia that has a co-official language (Catalan,) if I want to interact with the national government, it’s Spanish only, even on immigration/residency forms.

In France, same thing. In Korea, also the same. Also China. And Mexico. Canada mandates French and English.

I see nothing wrong with a country having an official language. That doesn’t preclude people from speaking their own languages, but of you want to live in country Y, then learning that language should be a prerequisite.
I've developed a novel approach to creating tamper-evident video via cryptographic feedback loops between projectors and cameras. The process works as follows:

1. A projector displays a challenge pattern (Perlin noise derived from of a hash)
2. A camera captures this projection
3. The system hashes the captured image concatenated with the previous hash and uses it to derive the next projection
4. This chain demonstrates true temporal sequentiality that's difficult to forge

By incorporating random noise derived from Byzantine Fault Tolerant networks and using these networks as timestamping servers, the proofs inherit the network's decentralization properties. ML then confirms that the feature distributions in projection-photograph pairs match expected patterns from the training dataset.

> What would be the benefit or reason for this?

If people are not forced to speak the official language they never learn and eventually self-isolate within their own communities. This leads to the Balkanization of the country. Canada is currently dealing with this in relation to its Indian population, which is approximately equivalent to the Hispanic population in America in terms of percentage of the population and the occupations they work in.

Canada has two official languages and knowledge of one or the other is theoretically required to immigrate there, but almost all government offices and most private banks provide services in multiple languages (e.g. Mandarin, Punjabi, Tagalog, Hindi, etc.), so it's quite common for immigrants to never bother learning English or French. There's also lots of entry programs which don't require the applicant to speak either of the official languages, as well as a lot of fraud in those programs that do.

This has not had positive effects on Canada's social cohesion.

Another (somewhat ironic) example is in Mexico City, where some local residents are upset about the influx of predominantly American digital nomads and retirees changing the character of the city because they do not speak Spanish.
