But also, the companies are buying up this infrastructure because whoever controls the infrastructure also controls the industry in around 5 years time.
That's the good case. The bad case would be he would lose his job, and be forced into poverty.
you are wrong. If one followed your ways, we would never do a lot of things. There are things called regulatory sandboxes for a reason. But those don't really work in fields where the "scale of the data" is the core reason of why things work.
Chat control is stupid.
> I'm not talking about prices, which may incorporate subsidies, permitting costs, taxes such as tariffs, transaction costs, lawsuits against non-performing building contractors, and market inefficiencies such as homeowners not having access to the zero-marginal-cost excess power that can be produced on sunny days for regulatory reasons.
Every single thing here is policy failure by German government.
Completely disagree. This is definitely electricity that central utility organizations could generate. A central method to generate electricity with solar panels would benefit everyone. This method only benefits the individuals who have their own homes or have balconies.
The biggest problem with the above is that now the govt has even less visibility on planning their electricity needs and therefore cannot plan electric infrastructure better. Also, each home is now a single point of failure for its own electricity and this will inevitably feed back to the main grid.
The real reason this is happening is because govt is in policy paralysis and cannot provide cheap electricity from solar themselves and have to depend on each individual doing it on its own.

When number of dimensions become very high or if the function becomes extremely irregular, then variations of monte carlo are generally extremely better than any other methods and have much higher accuracy than other methods, but the accuracy is still much lower than low dimensional methods.
So, in that sense, this blog post is for people like me, who had no exposure to research scientists in around 2012 in the places we are growing up. (I didn't yet have stable internet then, only once an hour every evening). They still have some years before they could actually come in contact with researchers who can give them good problems to work on. and the local universities are horribly out of whack in their skill/desire to teach the students properly.
And so, in the meantime, till you get access to good research problems, you prepare yourself to be ready for the problem when the day finally comes. And this blog post along with another one: https://webspace.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/theorist.html was what kept motivating me when I was studying.
The list of books is as important as anything else. To be fair, in 2012, math.stackexchange.com had grown up quite a bit, but I was not aware of it for various reasons.
