Until Enphase wines and dines the right person and Victron inverters start getting a years delay for conditional approvement.

Sure, but it's a little late. US support got them into the WTO. Now the US wants ASML to cut it's own wrists to the tune of 10 Billion, while EU countries aren't allowed to sell inverters to the US either.

Decoupling from China is one thing, but the US is just fucking everyone without a reach around at this point.

I can get a 5kW hybrid inverter for ~50v battery systems for around 500 euros, with a backup port. So you can put a couple important circuits on the backup port cheaply without a whole house transfer switch. Everything has wireless.

Basically all foreign hybrid inverters are gone now, but you can still get enphase for 10x the cost.

Google search obeys robots.txt, SerpApi did not.

Google search has a specific use case for which it has specific exemptions to copyright law. Just because in some other use case they perform some actions "exactly how" Google indexes the web is entirely besides the point. It is not the action which makes it legal or moral, but the use.

In the case of commercial AI training the action is immoral.

Dario has got he alignment problem completely on its head. Its not the alignment of AI which is the problem, world decision makers in general and the USA one in particular are disastrously misaligned. In fact since Dario has "much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences" he is part of the problem, not the solution.

Please AI, save us from ourselves, misaligned humans.

The lawyers in that case were on the take, the class members got fucked for pennies on the dollar for Dario.

The real lawsuit is the one by the opt outs.

That other parts of optical quantum computing are more intricate is irrelevant for the fact that selective transport based on quantum state at room temperature was already common before this.

Lets switch to a different example for a moment. A quarter wave plate might not be a "quantum material" either, but it flips polarisation just fine in optical quantum computing. The mythical "quantum material" is not a prerequisite for a quantum computing function.

That's hardly relevant chatgpt, they boast about the selective transport direction, which a reflective polariser does just fine at room temperature for the polarisation quantum state.

Doesn't a simple polarizer do that to begin with.

Or probably more 5 billion well spent. The soft-porn with Jony and Sam probably cost 1 billion alone,

The story about the greedy bright bulbs which OpenAI poached from Apple who have no clue about opsec interested me more.

OpenAI is not hiring the best ... Sam's little hardware adventure a giant waste of money now with a giant liability from criminal behaviour attached.

A private terminal is a terminal for private flights, this ain't that.

So basically through a loophole they can get more government manpower per traveller for a small subset of their customers.

Poorfags subsidising the services for the rich.

Those are more reasons for their increased user count, not their increased usage. Which is pretty much completely caused by the removal of surcharges, otherwise the owners would only use them for foreign (online) purchase.

Of course the ball has started rolling now, even those which don't need it for foreign use are getting and using them now. Thanks to the removal of surcharges.

A completely predictable tragedy of the corrupt EU commission causing a tragedy of the commons. They delivered us into the jaws of American credit card companies, while some nitwits in the EU who can't see the forest for the trees now try to undo the damage without addressing the fundamental cause. Which is the ban on surcharges.
