The article argues that AI replaces the workflow that the SAAS implemented with customizable workflows. That is certainly the case for certain types of ad hoc workflows, but isn’t a big part of the value proposition of software based workfl

The experiments that lead to the invention of quantum theory are relatively simple and involve objects you can touch with your bare hands without damaging them. Some are done in high school, eg the photoelectric effect.

I fail to see how the blame is on renewable energy and how burning more fossil fuels would help in that situation.

If somebody comes up with a way to produce wheat cheaply, do you blame them for high bread prices?

You’re replying in a thread about energy prices dropping because of renewable energy.

It is good then that renewable energy is cheap. There are a million things countries can do to help poor people. Burning fossil fuels is very far down the list.

Then it looks like it is figured out because BEV is replacing combustion at an ever increasing rate.

Lots of people do today. Solar is profitable without subsidies.

Lack of land where you’re permitted to build solar is actually a real problem.

The more power you consume the closer to wholesale is your price. I’m sure Aluminium smelters or fertilizer plants care a lot about wholesale prices.

Except for solar panels. If the corn is subsidized, then the land is not economically productive right now.

It’s probably a bit late for that. BEV will have taken the market four new cars before such a campaign could take root.

Having prompts be information deficient is the whole point of LLMs. The only complete description of a typical programming problem is the final code or an equivalent formal specification.

Germany uses less land for energy crops and is further north, but still could satisfy most of its electricity needs if it replaced the plants with solar panels.

A tanker full of LNG and a turbine would probably work.

There was a big case in Berlin where policemen got sick after shooting at a range with insufficient ventilation.

Next you tell me that teaching children not to piss in the pool is propaganda.

Arguably Germany should have turned off a few lignite plants and kept their nuclear power a little bit longer.

China is also building more renewables than everyone else combined.

I wonder whether those methods scale at those prices to the theoretical demand of undoing burning gasoline. I doubt it.

Sure, but there are really great reasons to get rid of fossil fuels and energy independence is a nice bonus. Countries tend to have multiple goals at the same time. It's nice if multiple problems have the same solution.

There is only degrees of independence in the global economy. No country can be completely self sufficient. Having an energy infrastructure that runs for a decade or two before it starts crumpling without trade is a lot better than having an

Just run the tank on E-fuel.

That’s one way to do it, but not the only one.

Decarbonization needs to happen anyway and is pretty much automatic energy independence. If the current US administration provides an extra motivation that’s gerast news for the climate.

Why stop at countries? /s

The dependence on US companies is deep and multifaceted. I don’t think we should attempt nothing until a perfect solution is available.

Price is probably not the only factor in competitiveness.
