But was that figure provided by AI?

Even if not, we all know that 793% of all statistics are invented.

If something is inaccurately presented as being the truth, then it is a lie of omission because it is dishonest about the fact that the information isn't actually known.

Gemini is exceptionally bad, as LLMs go. I really have no idea why it is so dreadful, even compared to other LLMs. It isn't context window. and it doesn't seem to be training material either.

Cyber Implications have been noted. Mondas security is to be Cyber Vibed until we have Cyber Security capable of defeating The Doctor.

When I test the different AI systems, Google's AI system loses track of complex problems incredibly quickly. It's great on simple stuff, but for complex stuff, it's useless.

Unfortunately.... advice, overviews, etc, are very very complex problems indeed, which means that you're hitting the weakspot of their system.

The LARPER had mail underneath the plate. More I do not know/remember.

The plate you saw in the museum with the dent, might have been a test shot. In Europe it was common to deliver plate armor to customers after they got a dent by a test shot.

Armor got kind of less relevant when people recognized that you can have an unarmored group of riflemen out maneuver old school guys in heavy armor. And unfortunately the people with the guns upgraded to artillery ...

I expect that 30 years from now, we'll find all sorts of expensive systems becoming less important versus just massive numbers of drones. definitely.

Just look at the 3D voxel art they do with drones that have some lights, or the drones flying directly into the barrel of an enemy tank. Does not need to destroy the tank or kill the crew. Gun gone, tank useless.

I've designed a few machines - some rather more insane than others - in meticulous detail using AI. What I have not done, so far, is get an engineer to review the designs to see if any of them can be turned into something that would be usable. My suspicion is that a few might be made workable, but that has to be verified.

Having said that, producing the design probably took a significant amount of compute power and a significant amount of water. If I'd fermented that same quantity of water and provided wine to an engineering team that cost the same as the computing resources consumed, I'd probably have better designs.But, that too, is unverified. As before, it's perfectly verifiable, it just hasn't been so far.

If an engineer looks at the design and dies laughing, then I'm probably liable for funeral costs but at least there would be absolutely no question as to how good AI is at challenging engineering concepts. On the other hand, if they pause and say that there's actually a neat idea in a few of the concepts, then it becomes a question of how much of that was ideas I put in and how much is stuff the AI actually put together. Again, though, we'd have a metric.

That, to me, is the crux. It's all fine and well arguing over whether AI is any good or not (and, tbh, I would say that my feeling is that you're absolutely right), but this should be definitively measured and quantified, not assumed. There may be far better benchmarks than the designs I have - I'm good but I'm not one of the greats, so the odds of someone coming up with better measures seems high. But we're not seeing those, we're just seeing toy tests by journalists and that's not a good measure of real-world usability.

If no such benchmark values actually appear, then I think it's fair to argue that it's because nobody believes any AI out there is going to do well at them.

(I can tell you now, Gemini won't. Gemini is next to useless -- but on the Other Side.)

Under perfect conditions, perhaps.
In general: no. No way.

No where in the world (except perhaps your place), it is legal that a balcony solar plant feeds into the grid when the grid power is gone. In Germany it is explicitly checked when you install one.

The ones I know from Thailand are imported from China: they all switch off when the grid power / frequency is gone.

You would manually need to bridge that ...

I know people with these meters have been charged for unintentional export because they for example had the CT installed backwards.
That does not make any sense. Electricity does not work that way.

No idea.
If you mean tank: depends how big your tank is.
If you mean battery: depends how big your battery is.

The distance is 572km ... so basically every electric car and every gasoline/diesel car should make it.

However: if you mean with Tank a Panzer ... then one tank would not get you very far. As Poland and Germany is now allied ... I assume, yes you can go with one Tank with renewables from Berlin to Warsaw.

This means you shoud NOT, under any circumstance, run Claude at 88mph. Unless you really want to.

Perhaps you should learn what full stack development means. Java or Scala etc. on the backend and HTML, JavaScript on the front end: is not full stack. It is two half stacks. Facepalm.

The rest of your rant is pretty pointless, did you just google Vue.js etc. or did you know about them in advance?

You use frameworks to write less code.

It is a difference if I have to write 1000lines by hand for brain dead simple html nonsense, or only 100 lines, easy to read which are backed up by a framework.

Point is: Java in the browser does not exist since 20 years.
And the other point is: JavaScript - and if you do not like its type system, use TypeScript - is an EXCELLENT language since over 20 years.

The "browser wars" and JS does not work in this browser as supposed and that browser: are long ago history.

And if you do not know how stuff works: don't invent stupid shit like "developer is running to boss and tells him how you suck".

Since decades we can minimize JS and only package what the browser really needs. And yes, of course: for that you need to know what tool to use. And that tool will with 99% certainty be written in JS or its derivates and run on node.js. /DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to do with JavaScript. I am a Java, C++, Dart programmer. And even I know this shit ... and you don't.

People shit talking on /. about JavaScript: are simply braindead mindless drones who never read "news for nerds, stuff that matters", stuck in their 1980s fake knowledge.

No one in our days can still claim that JS is on the niveau of 1997. Hint: it is not.

And a 200MW gas turbine is only 200,000HP.

What exactly is calling it what it is disproportionately?

Car engines in most of the world are not classified by HP since decades, probably since 30 years.

Obviously we know that a normal car has an roughly 100kW engine. And 1MW is obviously roughly 10 cars.

No idea what is wrong in your brain.

Hydrogene explodes extremely rarely.
If you have a leak, it blows out and off just like children air balloon. The gas is gone rapidly.
And if that leak gets ignited, it is just flame like from a gas fired welding tourch.

To make an hydrogen explosion, you need first something that explodes the tank. So it can mix with oxygen, then: it can explode.

The last Hydrogen explosion I am aware of was the Fukushima reactor buildings. Because the Hydrogen could not be vented off.

Either you're making very inefficient use of electricity
That is a stupid American myth.

There is nothing inefficient in making H2 from water with electricity.

Your car engine burning gasoline or diesel: that is damn inefficient.
