totally agree. but it will give the rich another competitive advantage that will separate them from the poor.
hrkfmud50k··on Sol-Ark manufacturer reportedly disables all Deye inverters in the US
because they have remote configuration and reporting on solar production, consumption, battery state of charge, grid export, import vs time.
hrkfmud50k··on Starting Hospice
that's a tragic story and I'm sorry for your loss. did you consider taking the medication anyway in defiance of the oncologist?

if you think that's cool then you may also like a "hard" real time programs e.g. ABS brakes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing#Criteria_f...
hrkfmud50k··on Why Italy Fell Out of Love with Cilantro
Don't forget asian food!

I feel the opposite: Cilantro is superior in all cases except perhaps Italian food, and even Italian food I am skeptical that Cilantro could be better if not for a bias from tradition.

Parsley tastes so bitter and one-dimensional and you have to remove the leaves from the stem, whereas Cilantro is aromatic, fresh, and you can eat the stems making it trivial to prepare. I even go so far as to substitute cilantro for leafy greens in salad.

hrkfmud50k··on LLaMA now goes faster on CPUs
> It's clearly optimal since my CPU is listed as only being capable of going 780 gigaflops

780 GFLOP is the iGPU spec. Is this a valid comparison?

hrkfmud50k··on Starlink's laser system is beaming 42 petabytes of data per day
maybe it could route around the clouds via some other satellites
hrkfmud50k··on Hertz to sell 20k EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars
even if it were true, aren't they exacerbating the issue by "crystallizing" the loss on every single EV rather than just the ones that are salvaged? hardly seems like a reason to sell-all.
hrkfmud50k··on California Solar Duck Curve Gets Bigger
because NEM 3 makes new rooftop solar installations uneconomical without batteries. though even with batteries they're still pretty uneconomical
hrkfmud50k··on Santa Cruz plans high-rise living as a fix for sky-high housing costs
How about Central Valley
hrkfmud50k··on Santa Cruz plans high-rise living as a fix for sky-high housing costs
NYC and HK are perfect examples where adding supply did not solve the problem of high cost of living. That's the risk in Santa Cruz - that we lose the unique the character and it remains expensive.
hrkfmud50k··on Santa Cruz plans high-rise living as a fix for sky-high housing costs
why is housing cost a problem that needs to be solved? there are plenty of inexpensive houses, they just don't happen to be in this beach town.
hrkfmud50k··on Unidentified anomalous phenomena – Independent study team report [pdf]
i wouldn't call it dense. perhaps disorganized and verbose
hrkfmud50k··on Recreate the cavity-preventing GMO bacteria BCS3-L1 from precursor
> After a single application, this strain persists in the mouth indefinitely, hedging out cavity-causing bacteria

> but the developing company declined to go to market, and instead pivoted to selling once-daily probiotic mouthwash.

sounds like they preferred to sell a recurring subscription vs a one-time sale

hrkfmud50k··on Vietnam bans 'Barbie' movie over South China Sea map
why is this detail even in the movie? seems like an easy conflict to avoid by omission
hrkfmud50k··on Accidentally exponential behavior in Spark
spark is far more testable and composable than sql! and you even get static typing checking. plus i can read data from anywhere - local fs, s3, rdbms, json, parquet, csv... rdbms could not compete
hrkfmud50k··on Systems design explains the world: volume 1
I cannot agree more. There is way too much B.S. in the field of software and it's a joke that we get away with calling ourselves "software engineers" or "computer scientists" for how little analytical decision making or scientific method applies.
