EROI only has to be greater than one for the number to rapidly lose its meaning relative to every other input (and externality) of a given energy technology. It makes no sense to focus on it.

I think you have misunderstood energy yield expressed as a multiple of energy input as a fundamental measurement of the viability of any energy technology. If you run scenarios, you’ll find that this number is entirely irrelevant. Instead,

I get the impression that it sets a tone that encourages creative, more open ended responses. I think this is the reverse of confrontation with the LLM. Typically if you get a really dumb response, it is better to hang up the conversation a

I was emphasizing that if the new Hetzer expenses are naive, then it was also naive to consider that AWS only costs $24k per year. My point was that AWS is not hands-off. You still have to set it up, you have to keep a close eye on expe

It started with “System Software” or “Mac OS” (as opposed to “macOS”), since it was an advantage of using terminal software like ZTerm on the pre-OS X operating system. You could select and copy text without unintentionally sending a break.

Isn’t $24k also a naive accounting of the annual cost of AWS in this case? What FTE-equivalent was required to set up the services they use at AWS? What FTE-equivalent is required to keep the annual bill down to $24k from say $48k or $100k?

In fact this probably gets to the most important fact on American vehicle import taxes. The rate on imported “cars” may be 2.5%, but it is 25% on foreign made light trucks. This 25% tariff in 1964 was technically written to address an entir

How has your experience been with the lithium-titanium-oxide batteries? Everything I read makes it sound like the optimal solution for safety and long life, but it doesn't seem like they have displaced other battery chemistries very mu

After a hurricane, the plan might be to help neighbors charge their phones, or sell electricity to telcos to power their networks switches and cell towers. I think I am much less remote than the poster, and I can easily lose power for a wee

1886 is after The Compromise of 1877 which ended Reconstruction and lead to the rise of largely white supremacist Redeemer governments. Though versions of the Convict Lease System had started earlier, even before the Civil War, it was in fu

The term "vibe-coding" is a pretty silly take on this possible partnership. In my experience, Anthropic's biggest problem is their infrastructure and capacity. Anthropic could help Apple catch up where it appears far behind i

I wonder how the mirrors are cleaned or kept clean. Maybe that isn’t an issue when detecting concentrations that would take a mile of light to measure, and existing NDIR detectors are sufficient for things like detecting different gasses in

It is easy to argue that Manhattan is far more livable than San Francisco due to the layout and highly convenient zoning, even before taking the obvious transportation advantages into account. San Francisco's advantage is the climate a

Think of it as the 700s, which is a weird way to refer to the 1700s, unless you are taking a cue from the common usage. That’s just how the periods are referenced by Italian art historians.
