Seriously, what do you expect? That Windows "Enterprise" is somehow magically managed any better by MS?

I can't remember the specific details now, all I recall is seeing the clause (yeah, I actually read the contracts and law, it's quite boring) describing a gov veto power over the brand but 1 in a million that they'd ever use it. I don't even think I bothered asking my lawyer about it and thinking "Of course, gov maintains power, well there's fuck all I can do about it, I may as well just move on"

It's was one of those "Oh, they can do that too can they - typical" moments - I'd never thought about it until I saw this story.

And more lack of insight. Because that "misinformation" is what actually happens at the moment.

You obviously have never heard of HVDC and battery storage. Seriously, if you base your "analysis" on the tech levels from 50 years ago, you will arrive at invalid conclusions.

Incidentally, the second reason you do offshore wind is that variability is low.

You continue to be without insight. Nothing new.

Exactly. Which is why a lot of his stories are about how the three laws fail.

Also note that any actual implementation of the three laws requires AGI and we do not even know whether that is possible. We certainly have no approaches that could realistically lead to it, despite what some people hallucinate. It is not a question of throwing more computing power or data at the problem. We are missing some key ingredient.

Probably need to add
22. Turning the US into a Kakistocracy.

Trump lost a lawsuit in the UK against some off-shore wind visible from one of his golf parks. Since then he (and the MAGAs) hate off-shore wind. No rational reasons, just mindless hate by total losers. The less dumb ones try to find "arguments", but it is all lies.

The reason you do off-shore wind is that it is not intermittent. It can have very rare and entirely predictable non-wind situations, but in practice these are comparable to other forms of power generation. On-shore wind is different, unless it is high-wind. If you go high enough, on-shore wind becomes reliable as well. There are some experiments running in Europe for that.

DT is exceptionally stupid. He has savant syndrome and can do two things well: Turn people about as stupid as he is into loyal cult followers and escape being held responsible for his crimes. And that is basically it. And I would like to point out that the second is probably due to him being born rich.

The problem with your "analysis" is that you have no clue how to analyze this type of thing. And hence hence you are ending up with nonsense and do not understand where the specific problems of a specific installation come from. No, just looking at power generated is NOT enough. You basically make claims that need expertise on PhD level and you clearly and obviously do not even come close.

So, maybe not flamebait. But a nice demonstration of the Dunning-Kruger effect far-left side of the graph.

That is not true for off-shore wind. This is the very reason you try to build wind off-shore. Yes, there can be down-times. Yes, they are predictable. No, they are not much worse than for other forms of power generation. And most if them are due to maintenance, not the wind not blowing.

The US cannot. That should tell you something about what kind of future the US has. Also note that nature protection laws in places like the EU are generally not weaker than in the US.

I noticed the same thing. I am not sure, is this completely clueless journalism, or a non-verified LLM hallucination?

That said, the actual math is a bit better, because usually you go full battery only on rare occasions or never on this thing. It is not really large enough for a power generation replacement system. It is for fluctuations. On the plus-side, if it works well, other installations will follow and sodium ion does already very well on lifetime and cost and that will only get better.

They have done massive circular financing and massive burning of stupid ("investor") money. I would be very surprised if it does not come crashing down at this point. No matter what happens now, they cannot get profitable in the next few years. That is just completely outside of anything realistically possible. And at the same time, the problems with "LLM for everything" become more and more obvious.
