Comment Don't believe you (Score 1) 329

This is pure passive aggressive grey beard Linux snobbery masquerading as thoughtful commentary

Apple is bsd Unix and has a complete set of Unix tools. Apple knows there customers needs probably better than any maker and you never were going to be one.

The whole point of this is it's inexpensive. Ic you desire more power it's not for you

The reality is that they are changing the F-150 lightning to a Extended Range Electric Vehicle(EREV). An EREV is a hybrid electric. It is an electric vehicle that uses an engine to run a generator when the battery gets too low.

I thought that was a "serial hybrid." The fact that they keep the "Electric Vehicle" in the name tells me that maybe all this "EVs Bad!" talk is just that.

Yeah, I'd call that sentence more... vapid and awkward, like much corporate speech, than tortured. It's not like it's unparseable; the meaning is fairly clear -- it's just pointless in the context presented. It serves no constructive purpose for the reader, being a vague attempt to invoke a nonspecific sense of nostalgia, likely to distract people from the frustration of the shop being closed? Corporations churn this slop out with or without LLMs

Yeah but radio ads are generic and not 2 way conversations. They are not an asking what you are saying and twisting it towards explaining why you need product X.

It will be as reliable as asking a used car salesman for advice. Somehow it's gonna be advice about how a car would for me

Comment Virtual batteries (Score 1) 76

the core challenge of renewable energy is it's inconstancy. Physical batteries are a bandaid and long distance grids are a council of despair. The real solution for reliable renewable energy is to just build out four or five times the peak load. Then when it's cloudy or not windy you still have way more power than you need to supply the peak load. But of course this has the problem that you just spent four of five times as much capital. And that's a non-starter. But the easy, though bad solution, to this is bitcoin batteries. Just mine bitcoin with the excess and shut off the mining when it's cloudy .

Now along some AI. What a match made in heaven. A completely portable task. Move the calculation to whatever data center currently has power whether it's Norway or Texas. You can soak up all that excess renwable power. Plus there's plenty of non-real time batch jobs you can run that can adapt. For example training.

Perfect.

Shame the US decided to lose the AI power race by nixing renewables

I really need to get some self discipline. As much as I try I keep checking Reddit. I loath myself. The only good thing to happen in the last few years was Elon buying twitter. That made getting unhooked on that time waste easy. But Reddit became my methadone.

I've resolved that I'm going to start hitting you tube for educational videos. Gonna learn Lie Group theory!

The problem is Trump. Everyday I have to see what fresh hell he's caused. Life was so placid when we had Biden or Obama or George Bush. Like them or loathe them it wasn't insanity.
