The moment such a map will have high enough usage assholes will put in incorrect data maliciously. One of the major reasons for google map errors is malicious editing.

This year alone prices for solar panels have dropped by 30-40%. The biggest reason for prices not dropping for solar farms/large scale solar at the moment is that the supply of other equipment needed like transformers etc can't me

If it gets really popular here on hacker news won't be long before chinese devices based on it start appearing. Or if someone is willing to invest $10-20k they could have devices ready to sell in less than 2-3 weeks.

Its more dishonest to say that the world has the capacity or the ability today to build and run 10000s of nuclear reactors safely or dispose of the spent nuclear fuel. We would be producing 100000-200000Mton of nuclear waste a year at today

Over the last 2-3 weeks I have felt there has been a sustained campaign against electric cars. I am wondering if the oil gas countries and companies are financing it. Though I do think like the laws that are stopping new sales of ice cars

It's make sense to me 20-30 years ago access to computers and internet was not easy so could be controlled a bit by parents. Today Parents can try to control their own childrens devices but reality is most children run circles around t

With the way Solar/wind + batteries are bringing electricity prices down the cost per compute will still come down even as moore laws slows down. Looking at current trends running today processors 10 years from now could just cost in e

Yes if you consider the fact of how much carbon production did not grow compared to the amount of power being produced and consumed. We need to keep moving in this direction I felt trade protectionism was going to slow this move down a bit

I think the biggest blind spot for many programers/coders is that yes it might not change much for them but it will allow many more people to code and do stuff that they were not able to before. As the the models get better and people

If you own an ISP would you invest in an area where another ISP monopoly exists and all users in an area will have to pay sum to pay contract to move to your service. This also about competition just not customer service though yeah I agree

Maybe not for current chemistry lithium batteries but for batteries in general prices will probably keep dropping as they find different ways to save cost like using sodium instead of lithium. As solar and wind electricity production keeps

They sell their non consumer gaming hardware for multiple times the profit. As llm usage keeps increasing I would not be shocked if Nvidia exited the consumer gpu market as it becomes smaller and smaller part of its business.

There is a reason all supercar makers came out with electric supercars as when it comes to acceleration you can't beat it. And as more cars are build from the ground up to run electric I think electric would be a better drive.
