The "from the phone" is not the point.

OpenClaw is often used as add on to the majour chat apps. So obviously she is using a Chat app, like WhatsApp or Telegram to message to the local Agent on her laptop.

Would not be any difference if she had used the terminal. Question is: was she close to the machine. Article implies she was not ...

What has that to do with anything?

Point is: I am not aware that people tried to prove the existence of god, or tried to disprove it/him/her.

Only religion haters think there is a proof. Religious people on the other hand: don't care about a proof. For them it is completely self ecident that there is a god/dess.

Well, the link compares troops and material.
Many things are on par or Europe has more.

Of course your example of Finland makes sense. Some countries have specific problems, and their forces are structured around them.

Finland is huge, and sparsely populated, somehow the population has the political will to stay long term in military reserve. Switzerland is similar, but the numbers are much lower.

France is full with load following bukes.
Germanies ran basically at 90% all the time.

Perhaps you are mixing up: following the load as in the big picture.
With: balancing the little fluctuations.

Both are not the same. The former nukes can do just fine, especially if they are build for it, and run accordingly, see France.

One reason France often gets negative payments for their power: They need to get rid of the power or they would have to do really bad things to their nukes. Look it up.
No, the reason is simply economics.

It is cheaper that way. Has nothing to do with "physics". You should look up how France is running its fleet.

Anyway, "negativer price" deals in Europe are 90% of the time: one hand is washing the other ones hand.

If EDF is selling for a negative price today, they already made deals with other companies, which sell power back for a negative price next day.

EDF knows perfectly well if they should ramp down plants because their own grid does not need them next 4 hours, or if they rather sell the power and keep the reactors on level.

The point is batteries. That make wind and solar indeed dispatchable within limits.

Nuclear power is dispatchable. And your hour long adjustments is either a myth, or a fact of specific plants.

Nuclear takes hours to ramp up and down, so you're always running it at less than current demand because demand has to be higher than what nuclear can provide

Nuclear is completely fine to follow the over all daily load curve. You are mixing up load following with balancing. Like most here on /.

Also you should read how nuclear plants actually work. You know: steam and such. The steam does not go to one single turbine. And the amount of steam can be adjusted ... with in limits.

Your batteries have limits, too. E.g. completely empty or completely full. You have to look at the whole system, and most of all: at the grid.

A grid is not run by a single plant.

There are two dimensions:
strong < -- > weak typing
static < -- > dynamic typing

I think people should take more care not to mix them up constantly.

Python is a strong but dynamic typed language.

As a contra point: K&R C is a weak but static typed language.

As we seem to have a fellow /. er who has no clue about languages, but thinks he is an expert, FORTH is an implicit static and strong typed language ... unless you have a weird extension :P
