And since they talk sunglasses as well, I like mine to be fitting my face so exactly that I have zero/almost-zero stray light. Their shape of shades looks the opposite of desired.

That would be in Moscow, correct? Because it would be unheard in a small industrial town I am from.

If there's one country where nuclear does not make any sense, it's Australia: abundant sun, large areas of desert, sparse population, not enough water. Sun + wind + batteries is an even better proposition for Australia than in Cal

> However, with solar and wind now far cheaper than nuclear due to no need for massive capital investments in concrete and steel upfront many years before production starts, does it even make sense for governments to go down this route?

Two things happen at the same time: 1. people say that robots are taking all the jobs 2. countries raise retirement age & adopt 6 day work week, because there's too much work to be done I am not entirely sure, but maybe robots are

In SF Bay Area, the cost of electricity is $0.42/kWh, so around $20/year for just extra idle usage. Still not a lot, but it adds up.

Thank you for being open; if my spend on vast.ai grows another 10X, I will consider reaching out. Right now, I am still a fairly small fish for your supercomputer.

I don't live in Morro Bar, so I don't have a horse in this race; I support battery deployments in California, but I also think it's stupid to place a battery in the place, where people actually want to live. California is lar

Since we're on the topic of your business: I am training a decent amount of neural nets nowadays (mostly, around the new-gen robotics policies) and use vast.ai instances with 8x RTX 4090 cards. I've been interested to give 8x MI30

> Cool, but you cut off the sentence where it says “and wind”. Because wind works for Finland and it's a good idea for them to invest in it (and they do). But putting solar & Finland together is nonsense.

California is a bad example for nuclear, as it's the perfect spot for solar. On the opposite, Finland lacks sun, but enjoys their new reactor (even though, since it's another one-off project, it's over budget).

Yes, I can believe that. Anyone who tries to say "let's wait for nuclear and not deploy solar/wind" is not rational, unless driven by the idea to sell more fossil fuels. My personal position - let's allow building b
