I thought infeed limits were all about protecting the grid from power surges; what can an enlightened utility do differently? Battery storage would double the cost of community-generated solar, so even an enlightened utility might be unprof

In the arctic summer, days can be longer than 18 hours. Or if you don't sleep, I guess. Excepting those cases 18 hours seems all day to me.

It’s because food used to be scarce. The body experiences pain as signal to conserve food/energy, which improves survival.

Tesla sells pollution credits to their competitors to delay their EV programs and harm the planet. They completely negate any environmental benefit to buying a Tesla, since the purchase just lets some other manufacturer sell one more dirty

There is little benefit to supersonic, most time spent traveling to far off places is wasted on time zone adaptation/jet lag, and it's nicer to do that in a slower plane with a roomier business class seat you can sleep in. They&#x

That's a lot of hopium given that they're making their own engines because no real engine manufacturer thinks it's a good idea. The entire company was created because a rich techie had an exit and liked flying. A lifestyle bu

More ad hoc anecdata disguised as sage wisdom in order to get founders to give YC valuable equity for peanuts. This cargo-cult superstition wrapped as advice is really hard to stomach. Life is random, there are no unconditional rules for su

The limitations of x86 perf. counters for deterministic replay have been known far earlier than 2021; in industry around 2005 or so. It would be nice if there were more efficient hardware support for determinism, especially multi-core.

There will always a use for surplus energy. Are you really going to curtail surplus solar in the summer when you could just build storage for it? That’s the profit maximizing solution, even if the efficiency isn’t high. It just needs to be

You can do better than YC. It's a sweatshop hoping to turn out lottery winners by funding naive founders and their half-baked ideas, hoping they find something successful. Don't be a serf.

These charts stop right at the point where the U.S. imposed tariffs on Chinese solar panels, and the tarrif schedule is only going up, to 50%. This matters because the future of solar is utility scale, where the panel costs dominate. So for

USA vs USSR is the classic counterexample. Or even USA vs. Europe, if you want closer political and economic systems for comparison: https://fee.org/articles/the-poorest-20-of-americans-are-ric... .

100Gbps Ethernet cards? The world has moved way past that for training. Their accelerator stack must be really slow if this is good enough for them.

This. Elon’s entire MO is to lose more money than competitors, then raise more in the markets. Rise, repeat, claim successes, when in reality competitors just aren’t willing to lose that much money bootstrapping. SpaceX is no different.

This is an indictment of Airbnb, and this situation was totally foreseeable when the company was founded. YC is of course complicit in these regulation-evading shenanigans.

ChatGPT tells me that this number, while impressively high, is approximately the amount of CO2 emitted by three hours worth of global airline flights. Probably off by an order of magnitude, but something to ponder.

Totally agreed, desktop Linux is a Potemkin village of suck. It's slow, font rendering is still terrible, keyboard shortcuts are all over the map, gesture support for trackpads is just the pits, mouse acceleration is weird, laptop powe

Your ID may not have your correct address, because you recently moved. Heck, I know people who have moved across state borders and gone years without updating their ID. In that case you can still use it to work, buy alcohol, drive, get gove

You give yourself far too much credit. You provided a fig leaf to cover an ideological power grab by the court, as evidenced by the naked 6-3 partisan vote split. The court was going to dismantle the EPA anyway, and you just gave them some

SF is still a desirable place to live. That doesn't mean residents are willing to make it undesirable by changing the character of the city and make it unlivable. Building housing is like building roads: it doesn't fix the problem

Tesla sells these credits in order to stall the development of their competitors’ EV programs. When you buy a Tesla you’re just bringing into existence a gas guzzling, planet destroying SUV somewhere else in the world. No net environmental
