Why are we ignoring the problems inside of North Korea? I take slavery and starving people pretty poorly regardless of where it happens. That said North Korea routinely acts against the rest of the world in ways that are only possible bec

Eh, the quoted text, and also the literal text of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Article 28 [1], doesn't qualify "certain points or areas" as only "military sites". While the other side should only be attacking milit

It's a loss for the US. That's not equivalent to a win for Iran... both sides can and frequently do lose in wars.

No it's not. International law is generally exceptionally clear that one war crime doesn't justify another, and using civilians as human shields is about as core a war-crime as war-crimes get.

I don't know if the market has improved but when I looked at this a year or two ago I concluded that the consumer market here was utter crap with hugely inflated prices. The cheapest per kwh way I could find to buy a home battery (that

That's the number quoted in wikipedia [1] for HVDC power transmission. I.e. it only applies for long distances, not short distances. China's been building a bunch of these at those kinds of distance . The technology definitely wor

We started scaling batteries after solar (because the technology reached the point where they were profitable after solar)... but they're being installed at scale now, and at a rapdily increasing rate. Batteries provided 42.8% of Calif

> That's assuming constant production of batteries at the current scale and production. That's a terribly pessimistic assumption when production has been scaling exponentially, and cost per kWh dropping exponentially.

Approximately 1% of people in the world currently have an EV with a more than 30 kWh battery... and we're very early in the adoption curve of EVs and other large batteries.

At the consumer scale the biggest thing we could do is follow the german model of panels that can be plugged into an outlet and installed in an hour by any homeowner (with the same capacity limits and requirements on the panels electronics

I suspect there's less thought put into it than that. There's probably a firewall vendor that has a product that does SNI inspection for blocking things like pornhub and the product comes with a list of sites that includes VPN con

Not true with github copilot. Cost is per prompt no matter how many tokens the prompt uses. Which can vary by 2 or 3 orders of magnitude...

While waiting for someone in the hospital I recently played the fun game of "how can I work around their firewall stopping me from connecting to tailscale" that they kindly provided. It was just blocking new connections. Via SNI.

I strongly suspect that this is already illegal - publicity rights are a thing - and the the demand that needs to be made is for the law to be enforced.

The weird part is that it's "shitting over the floor" in quite a deterministic ma nner. Every 600seconds (+- less than 0.5 seconds) doing the exact same thing.

Yeah, but now wind and solar have made it feasible just about everywhere.

So... why is fuel 25% cheaper in Slovenia than in the neighbouring country while Solvenia is simultaneously having issues with running out of fuel? Seems like the obvious solution is to raise prices so people stop driving to your country (w

More likely they have RCE vulnerabilities known to various governments than intentionally made secret backdoors... which is worse since a backdoor would probably at least only be usable by the county that manufactured it (for example see Ji

Some thoughts. 1. LLMs aren't "efficient", they seem to be as happy to spin in circles describing trivial things repeatedly as they are to spin in circles iterating on complicated things. 2. LLMs aren't "efficient&q
