Sadly we’re already in the long term impact of the previous energy revolution, so we’d better get starting now instead of when we’ll feel the impact of this next compute evolution.

Oh wow, growing, drying, transporting, roasting, transporting, brewing something takes more energy and physical resources than a single query in a computer? Physical goods are amazing like that. I wonder how margins on software stuff are

Also you can only run the compile-sign-deploy from a mac AFAIK.

You may have confused the lower/higher is better? I think the Air is missing from a few charts though.

Intellectual power is more and more necessary, on the input side if for no other requirement than to evaluate each piece of media and writing and figure how reliable it is. And on the output side to figure out how much of the LLM output you

The shopping site is the worst mainstream shopping site. Find stuff is hell. It’s missing criteria, finding the shipping time / cost when comparing products is painful. Shipping is fast and prices are good, but you’re never quite sure

You can probably put a catenary with wheels on top of your boat and alongside to forward sides to ensure pushing it against the roof pushes your boat forward.

You might run into time of use contention unless you have a ver diversified crop neighborhood or adaptable robot. Don’t harvests usually happens at the same time for all the same species of crop in an area?

It’s also possible it’s like that because the city and apartments they are familiar with suck. I used to live in a small, admittedly rich, city, and had all amenities within 7 minutes walk, park within 3 minute walk. The city policy is that

Uninhabited land is empty of people for a reason: - it’s protected - it’s undesirable (too hot/ dry/wet/far/steep/close to a pollution source) - it’s agricultural land If it’s not any of these it’s owned and thus co

I think there are some stories about how developing nations didn’t have to setup copper wiring all over the back country for the rural development of communication network and could just set up using cellular towers. Sometime using 10 or 15

Let’s just hope China doesn’t collapse then. We need to produce more panels in more places, however high startup and supply chain setup costs with falling market prices means it’s leading to only established players or national strategic in

Or like, affordable renewables and reforestation. Also we need to cool the oceans ASAP so they can recover their carbon sequestration capacity. Maybe we could use the negative spot price of renewables to cool the coastal waters as a form of

So they can keep the oil for themselves. “Look what this oil dependency makes us do! Don’t fall into that trap! (And anyway it’s ours!)”

You don’t. You help them electrify with renewables as much as possible. And the car they will buy will be more efficient and burn cleaner than the car the West developed with. And the stove they will use will be more efficient. Until it bec

They are in extreme poverty because they can’t afford the fossil fuel to burn for economic development. As they develop, they might pick renewable because its cost is falling to the point it might become cheaper than burning fuel, at least

There are numerous points of failure in any grid. the big power generators and transformers are hard to hide targets. A big surface area of solar panel is much less dense in terms of power generation per square feet. So you would need a lot

The time frame could probably be reduced if the demand was that high :)

Sometimes you’ve been aggravated for so long that doing something might be worth it for your own sense of balance.

It’s usually the frame and sides / scales that are made of titanium, never the blade afaik. Except maybe in some multitool keyring single piece doohickeys, but it’s not expected to cut anything beside the tape on your packaging.

Beautiful design but no lock point to attach it (with its accessories secured to a lamp post or a bike rack? And no handle to lift it like a suitcase?

Agree on the range being low, but I’m pretty sure you have to assist the bike mechanically to reach that range.

I mean 45k MRR with 90% profit is far from moderate success when compared to US minimum wage (or even of a more civilized country like Switzerland where it’s $4k), especially when living in moderate or low cost of living locations like Viet

The thing i see with flashlights is that the physical object is pretty complex and has to face thermal, power and environmental constraints that would destroy any keyboard. Maybe it could start as a gut replacement for an existing cheap fla

There’s also ergogen, which is a project that generates the PCB for your split keyboard based on a few inputs. Then just send it to your favorite online pcb maker and you just have to solder the components . And there are a bunch of dactyl
