But is that enough? How fast does demand rise and drop on an average and a bad day?

by ragebol 3y ago
I think his argument is that even when generation is consistently on some level, demand varies. And if you can't switch your nuclear generation into higher gear fast enough, you need some extra on-demand generation capacity. And if you

I wonder how much this affects the public not talking about the shows and this leading to less engagement. And thus snowballing into even less users, as there is less people to promote shows etc.

Falcon 9 can be partly reused. Falcon 1 was a predecessor, that only flew 4 times IIRC.

Is that still a relevant test, if the blog post is used in the training data? How can I know it is or isn't included anyways?

The cookie dialog must be there in case you want to do cracking cookies. If you don't place the tracking cookies, no need for a dialog IIRC. But most sites didn't get the hint of "just don't track" and still want to

Yes indeed. And wind farms also doesn't just sprout from the ground either. But still, they are much faster to deploy than a nuclear plant, plenty of examples for that around.

In a different comment, I mentioned `40-50 years of momentum against them`, yes, that Germany indeed. In my native Netherlands we're looking to build 2 nuclear plants. I doubt they'll ever be built, as they take a long time to bui

I bet there's companies eager to do Möbius strip mining. Could go on forever!

Fine, just start. Find a place that has willing neighbors, then spend 10-20 years building it and plz prevent cost overruns. It'll be ready too late to contribute to our near-term (2030) goals. But not for the later goals of course. Go

As you might have noticed, nuclear power is not free of any downsides. But neither is wind, solar, fossil fuels, but especially with nuclear there's about 40-50 years of momentum against them in the public opinion, rational or not. So

Sometimes it's not nice to bet and 'win'. A few days to wait...

They are not required for making orbit I suppose, only for safe reentry. But can't know how well it all works without trying, so going even if confidence is not perfect. But I guess they're pretty confident.

Excitement guaranteed! My bet is that it won't launch today and that when it does in a few days, some Starship's heat tiles somehow fall off and the reentry fails.

Fair enough, not enough gas can be self-produced. But then again, neither can I currently generate enough electricity.

Sure was expensive. Prices for gas are coming down luckily. We put our thermostat at 17°C and wore an extra sweater, had a fluffy blanket during WFH. After a year long wait, we finally got the heat pump installed last week. Too late to hel

It's an addictive hobby. We ordered a hybrid heat pump in March '22 and it was finally installed last week. It's 6 degrees C out here out and this thing is chugging along steadily. It's quiet too. Also adding more insula

I used this with my scout group a while ago, kids 11-14. They loved it and went way further with this than I ever expected. Kids had no experience with any programming language, no Scratch, no Python etc.

The advice we got was from ~8 months, when they can sit up on their own. For the 2nd kid, that's been only a few weeks, but it's so nice to be much more nimble than with a stroller and less bulky than a car to go places with 2 kid

We had our first in June 202, so early in the pandemic. I was already WFH since 2019, my wife joined me in that while pregnant in March 2020. I used to have my offic in the living room, but as soon as our son could walk IIRC, we moved the o

I think what your parent comment means is summarized by something said by, i think Colin Angle (iRobot CEO), about iRobot: "to become successful, we had to become a vacuum cleaning company, instead of a robotics company". Nobody c

- 3D printing is mentioned all the time in RS news. I'm honestly not sure why. Is this really an advantage? You can print some shapes that are very hard to make otherwise, or even generatively designed and optimized. Integrate a bunch

Years ago I worked in a startup also trying to develop such robots, to care for both disabled and elderly people. We were too early, but alas. The complaint this would increase loneliness was often heard, mostly by the human caretakers empl
