This is precisely what /dev/shm is for... And it can be used explicitly without any gotchas. If someone really wanted tmp to be in memory (to reduce SSD endurance writes or speed it up nominally) they can edit their mounts. This f

Oxidization also rapidly accelerates at these temperatures so durability of the greeting element is doing to be a significant challenge.

If you look at "evacuated solar" panels this is as close as you could get, and they don't get anywhere near the temperature you need to generate consistent steam. Concentrated solar is closer, but cost impracticalities make

The cost-prohibitive portion of this, which is greatly glossed over in the article and which I showed in my other reply - is that the steam generator required to recover this heat as electricity, is a massive part of the capex - more than h

I'm sure you meant it to be edgy and offensive but it's quite flat in substance - you can't reasonably reduce the population and any means you'd employ to do so would be equally destructive to the environment - you can&#

You can do that with normal pipes buried 5+ft underground that pull air into the greenhouse - the earth's temperature regulates the cold in the cooler months and the heat in the warmer months. There are similar calculations for how mu

GSHP/ASHP can't get to steam-generating temperatures on the hot side unfortunately - you're looking at a "heat concentrator" which doesn't really exist in the form of a commercially available heat pump today -

snow-free means you're losing heat to the environment vs keeping it contained. I would imagine if properly designed you could stand on top of the completed dirt pile without feeling any temperature delta with the air.

600'C at the high end seems to be the cited number. Steam or other heat extraction method such as air.

Honestly not bad if there's enough earth between the heater element and the air - you'd only lose about 1% per month with a thick dirt wall.

It begs the question - why use solar if the storage mechanic is sufficient to cover peak/off-peak storage of any surplus electricity in a significant way? Hydro Quebec has significant ($500M+/yr) electricity surpluses on a given

Seems like a very narrow use case target for these... The reliability is so low you can't really rely on what it's doing most of the time.

Is it considerably more cost effective than cline+sonnet api calls with caching and diff edits? Same context length and throughput limits? Anecdotally I find gpt4.1 (and mini) were pretty good at those agentic programming tasks but the lack

I think their MXFP4 release is a bit of a gift since they obviously used and tuned this extensively as a result of cost-optimization at scale - something the open source model providers aren't doing too much, and also somewhat of a com

How many kWh? Charging specs? Solar panel specs? Honestly feels so far from an actual product I wouldn't expect to see it for another 3 years, in which time there will certainly be better options for $50,000.

Just noticed "Chosen Fish" on the leaderboard - sometimes it's a bit less subtle.

I love how it immediately became a meta game of how large of a phallus you can get on your fish while still maintaining an acceptable fish-like score. edit - my beautiful Esox Pinilis was culled from the UGC ocean by whoever is manually mod

Likely government-adjacent and with high portfolio use case match. These orgs are less and less keen on shifting sensitive workloads to public clouds - even "gov clouds". Let's not forget that the best access control is to

I can tell Bryan wrote this by the vocabulary... Congrats on the traction - haven't had a use case for rack-scale infra yet but hopefully soon!

I think he'll have success with youtube/vlogging more than getting into the corporate world honestly - especially with some healthy sponsorships and great projects like this.

Spun it off in 2022 after the issue was known. Stay classy.

No this is honestly par for the course in China - saying this as someone who manufactures millions of consumer devices there annually. You have to CONSTANTLY QA supplier materials to make sure no corners were cut. We have an entire lab jus

They also moved from a toroidal SMPS to an integrated PMIC for voltage regulation - but that was likely for cost/weight reasons but also hints at being able to more accurately measure and limit the charge or discharge current as a func

Here is an actual article with some context - and a reality check that other experimental reactors in the past have sustained similar triple product for longer durations... https://www.ipp.mpg.de/5532945/w7x

This article has zero quantifiable information in it aside from the duration... which has no context. Who's recordkeeping this stuff? What are the other results so far? What is the tipping point where it is net positive? how long doe

I think a reasoning/thinking-heavy model would do better at piecing together the various data points than an agentic model. Would be interested to see how o3 does with the context summarized.

There are solutions like Microair easy start - these are pretty common on generator setups too as these peak starting amps can snuff a generator too.
