Wow, is it not rude to question the intent behind asking for a technical clarification? There is no gotcha here. It's simply asking OP to rule out this very obvious gap that their statement leaves unaddressed. Being helpful != being ac

An absolute coup that Apple might be able to pull off is if they're able to replace control electronics for Daimler with their A-Series (Or other custom ASIC) chips. When Sandy Munroe tore down the Tesla Model 3, a remark he made hit h

I'd speculate this is part of an "Opposition research" move by a political party that might benefit. The extreme lengths that these people seem to have gone to is shocking. Whatever it is, FB has the evidence on their servers

The background about Meta and The Wire, along with Alex Stamos' great thread about inconsistencies can be presented without resorting to conjecture on your part about the motivations of the owners of the publication.

Respectfully, it is because of the uncertainty in project approvals and financing to a large part. In 2015, lawmakers made it mandatory to reduce Nuclear energy to 50% of existing installed capacity. So, pretty much all changes of mind post

That's fair. Having looked at a few of those threads, I think the premise behind the "level playing field" statement is likely flawed. These are press releases. They will be sterile. Compare that with someone linking to their

If you own your own site, you could rehash a press release on your own and use whatever “mega comment” title you choose. Hence not a level playing field for anyone else posting a link from a press release. If the title, as we see here is ve

No no, this is a little more complicated. The energy demands in the market right now are very different than what they were even 20 years ago (I mean, who would have imagined crypto mining or large model training in the state it’s in?) We’r

This is false. Build all the solar, wind whatever you want. Doing so while ignoring the low return on energy security alone is a fools errand. I’ve sat through meetings where carbon credits have been touted as the greatest weapon to transit

Exactly. When the downsides look like $200 billion in emergency spending[1] , you start to wonder if there are any adults in the room anymore [1] https://www.politico.eu/article/margrethe-vestager-eu-german...

On HN, many people may run their own sites and thus able to freely editorialize however they choose. Editorializing headlines of a press release directed at a different audience with likely more context to make it accessible shouldn’t be se

You are conflating too many popular terms incorrectly while trying to make your point. Baseload as defined by Wikipedia that you cited does not contradict my point, you don’t seem to understand the nuance of what economic demand is and why

It’s probably fair to say that energy demand over the next ten years will increase significantly. The anecdotes of the end of Moores law that signifies the end of electronic efficiency through miniaturization alone and the increasing adopti

<facepalm> It isn’t simply economic. I don’t think you understand the fundamental purpose of an energy grid. It isn’t just a bunch of wires existing on their own. It is the energy delivery infrastructure for all of society. “Baseload”

French politicians voted in 2015 to shut off all planned new nuclear investment in favor of transitioning to “renewables” It was political incompetence that led to the French plants needing to have their lives extended MUCH BEYOND their exp

It’s not one dimensional. Energy density can be both important for transportation and also be important for the ability to accelerate energy production without a proportional growth in mining/resource harvesting that harms the planet.

It’s the minimum specification of the grid. Not economic, but functional. For a grid to serve “production traffic” or be used in the real world, there is a minimum amount of power it must reliably deliver 24x7 ;

Looking at the F150 lightning convincing people who typically might fall in a cohort skeptical of EVs is eye opening. People will happily buy EVs if it fills the gap their present vehicles do and proponents of EVs will do well to remember t

Cheap access to plentiful energy has been one of the main drivers of innovation for all of human history. It is very surprising in that context that Governments haven't pushed harder to secure their energy security more aggressively.

Innovation isn't very likely to be found in a sterile corporate environment. The attempts by Meta to control so tightly what content ends up on the Quest will only end up with results that are a reflection of their creators. I felt lik

As someone who's spent time in countries where discrimination is rampant, i can tell you my personal opinion that it is not different at all. In fact, that is a dangerous trend in liberal America that needs to be debated on its merits
