How does it work then?

It is probably a naive point of view that I hold (I haven't thought it through properly) but the western capitalist version is that investors providing money to do dumping of prices is ok (as long as you are not considered a monopoly)

It is true, but my house has some many dormers (a new word for me), chimneys and air vents, that I hardly can get a meaningful set of panels in. Solar tiles would have been great. Alas.

I did want it. Would have looked great on my quite old house where it is highly impractical to have conventional solar panels, as there is essentially not enough space anywhere to have more than one or two panels in the same location, and I

It is still a very small number compared to all that practice music, and which they could live of it.

In the Nordics (SE, FI, NO, DK) it is pretty much the same. A large part of the year your shoes are a mess and you don’t want that indoors.

I think that the main difference right now, and I think it matters, is that the concentration of power and wealth is very high today and this is going to be a real detriment to our society.

If it is that or starve, the I would probably have taken the job. But yeah, if there where alternatives, no thanks.

At the same time, I think some kind of aggregator will emerge. In music, the tools to create music are so inexpensive that the market is flooded. In games it is becoming the same, now accelerated by LLMs. But there is always some type of ag

The world reached peak fish catch in the mid-90s. [1] And we now eat more grown fish than caught fish. The problem is that with increased acidity in the oceans, as part of the ocean absorbing mor CO2, we get less algae and eventually less f

Destroying ecosystems beyond a tipping point. And the politicians just care about being re-elected. Focusing on short term gain. ” The decision taken by the Council of Ministers earlier this week on the 2024 fishing quotas in the Baltic Sea

One time purchase, then I would have been interested. Yeah, a free version, but subscription…

When there is a cost. Please show it on the website. I couldn’t find if for wander.

Even better: pick up Rocksmith, or one of the many clones being built by people using <ghasp> LLMs, and learn to play a real guitar. I did, and I now play bass in a hardrock/metall band. One of my guitarist started with guitar he

It is, as the USA has a large population. We can be more nuanced. By absolute dollars, single country: US > EU institutions > Germany > UK By absolute dollars, bloc vs. bloc: EU/Europe combined (~$237bn+) now exceeds the US (~

The video at the beginning looks disturbingly enough like training to hunt humans, or hunt drones that do that, in east Ukraine or something.

Yeah. I subscribe to a mailing list from a data security company that sends me a summary of breaches, daily. I know it is in their interest to keep me worried. But they aren’t making these stories up.

It is interesting to see CEOs of big tech companies are so convinced they are always right that they start sidestepping any internal review of communication. Often to the detriment of the company.

I have an acquaintance that works as a consultant on one of the ”egg” (closed or semi closed) floating fish farms. I also know a professor who thinks they are going to be much more viable from an energy point of view. Personally I think the

Technically it works. Superior Fresh, as in the linked article, has a viable system. The challenge is that in the beginning it is hard to reach a scale that works economically. Added to that, in Norway it is challenging to grow leafy greens

So much modern GUI design is really poor for those a bit older where contrast is important.

The Pax with sliding doors took me a really long time to put together. Long enough that when my brother in law (who doesn’t like assembling stuff) asked if I recommend them, it was a solid No.

I knew a runner that was wearing his body down. His joints where giving up. I predicted he would become a cripple. He wouldn’t stop running despite knowing. He was addicted. Some stories about prompting agents feel like that to me.

The Jurassic park crew supposedly had a lot of money, and I would argue that any computer nerd, at the time depicted, would have gone with that combo. SGI for Unix and the power and Macs for admin. I would have.

I live in Sweden, but would happily live in most European countries. Yes, some are less well functioning, and many that have joined the EU have significantly improved their living standard (not always counted in GDP), since joining the EU.

At this point I wouldn’t move to USA if you paid me double the salary. There are more things in life than money. That said, if (or when) the progress of the LLMs flatten out, then I think even Europe can catch up in a few years. If they don
