This being Germany, you actually are supposed to register every panel in a central database. So the utilities know where generation is happening. This is for proper solar installs as well as for balcony solar. I have a proper setup on my ro

You loose performance at noon/summer, when you are likely to produce over your demand anyway. But during winter/rainy days, when you are limited to diffuse light, they deliver the same output. The point is that panels are so dead

Germany, and these are numbers from our gas heater. But the house is almost 50 years old and not insulated to current standards (yet). We got a heatpump this year, going to be interesting to see how this changes things.

Really like the idea, but my house alone has roughly 16 MWh/a heat consumption. Of which half gets consumed November through January. So this system could supply 12 houses? Shows the importance of proper insulation, which is still on o

If only 10 out of 100 of your investments make it, does it matter if one of the 90 failed because of lacking backups? Their risk strategy is diversification of investments. Not making each investment itself bulletproof.

If SpaceX had to distribute their spending like NASA across states/senators/political influence, I doubt they would be anywhere near were they are today. I wouldn’t call this a failure of public science/research/developm

I assume, when people dismiss it, they are not looking at it through the business lens and the 100m user signups KPI, but they are dismissing it on technical grounds, as an LLM is just a very big statistical database which seems incapable o

If people of the past would have followed that argument, we would not have seen the declaration of human rights of the French Revolution, not have had the civil war, slaves might still be slaves. Hitler’s successors would reign Europe. Some

Germany are also very risk averse. So we need such programs even just to counter this risk aversion.

It‘s the worst ideas together, but the alternative is even worse? That does not make any sense, logically. But I guess this summarizes the current situation quite nicely.

Yeah, everyone is talking about free markets. But no one likes the idea of a transparent market.

I was merely replying to the parent post. I would be massively irritated if the White House would not have multiple levels of redundancy. Which makes the article just more confusing.
