It's widely accepted that sunsetting nuclear energy had a positive impact on the deployment of renewables, and consequently on the longer term energy prices. It was one of the better energy policy (and environmental, and security) deci

My understanding is that it's the same here in Germany. From the website > What does "decoupled" mean? In a gas-dominated electricity market, the marginal generator setting the price is almost always a gas-fired power pla

Yes the jury is out on this: > Also which jury is still out on starship ? I haven’t read any serious criticism that suggests there are insurmountable technical obstacles to it working. Timelines and the exact final cost-to-orbit are sti

The jury is still out on Starship. And also a bold claim to say that SpaceX by itself has reduced the cost of a ton of mass into orbit by a factor of 10. Did it play an important role in that reduction? Sure...

Looking forward to the movie about this absolute scammer Sam Altman when this is all said and done.

Hahaha great story. But that's not what I had I thought about at all.

What is the best way to get start with open weight models? And are they a good alternative to Claude Code?

by shafyy 6mo ago
Haha, no reference. I just made something up and tried to be funny.

Not counting training models as part of your gross margin is just creative accounting. It's an inherent part of being able to provde the service for OpenAI, Anthropic etc. Even so, their subscriptions are significantly cheaper than the

Fun fact: Editors are usually also people. Except for that one dog I met during a cold winter's day in 1987 in a run-down London pub.

Ok thanks!

Because people using LLMs get lazy and can't event type normal text themselves anymore.

Do you own one of these? If yes, are you happy with the quality?

Well explained, thank you! This is called the marginal price. Many people are not aware of this and are then think renewables are expensive.

I feel like 4.6 is worse than 4.5 lol

by shafyy 7mo ago
Haha yeah... Wait until they start jacking up the subscription prices

Haha sure, let's just let every user add their feedback to the software.

Yes housing prices are captured by inflation, but since housing prices are so different from region to region and city to city, just looking at a country-wide average median income does not say much.

Inequality is still important even if everybody is getting richer (I disagree that everybody is getting richer, but that's a different discussion). Because wealth and power concentrated in the hand of a few means that a few have outsiz

by shafyy 7mo ago
You can't just look at real median income. You also need to look at other factors like wealth inequality, housing prices and health care.

Haha great. I guess my wider point is that most people won't be ready to pay for it, and in the end there will be only two ways to monetize for OpenAI et al: Ads or B2B. And B2B will only work if they invest a lot into sales or if the

by shafyy 7mo ago
That's fine and all, but how much are you ready to pay to Anthropic and OpenAI to be able to do this? Like, is it worth 100 bucks a month for you to have your own shopping app?

Yes, same here. I tried some EU providers like Mailbox, Tuta and Uberspace. In the end, even though Fastmail is not EU-based, at least it's based in Australia (and not US) and they have a solid track record as a company to make the rig

by shafyy 7mo ago
I tried Uberspace for email and what bothered me that you can only set up one email domain per Asteroid. So if you have multiple domains, it gets expensive quickly... (depending on how many users per domain you have). But other than that, g

It's almost like.... LLMs are non-deterministic and hallucinating... Oh wait?!

Yes, I want through this last year and documented it in a screencast. This is how it looks https://mstdn.social/@can/115243851196253381 How is this legal?
