How many days do you actually take?

Solar + batteries is cheaper than ever. Americans are often full preppers and DIY but when we speak about energy autonomy and efficiency they immediately get some weird allergy.

Electricity here in Quebec is dirt cheap, state owned and 100% renewable. Our first 40 kWh per day is 7 cents per kWh which is roughly 0.05 USD.

Any calculations I've done made it unfortunately useless to buy solar and instead favoured investing the money in the stock market.

Absolutely in that case it would be more for fiddling and having a conversation starter with friends. It also depends on how reliable your grid is etc.

Some of us still believe in market incentives.

People keep saying this and yet I struggle to find a decent sized house battery that doesn't cost as much as a new car.

What kind of electricity usage do you have? Because a used electric car probably around 20k provides you with easily 50+kwh in car to grid, + you get a working car for free.

Will they though? They would capture more windows users. They already have the Neo actually. iPad still has another job mainly around simpler tasks. I’ve not yet got to love the Macosy windows management.

Bad luck, accessibility standards require you to support 320px width without horizontal scroll bar for most elements, especially the main layout. (1280px with 400% zoom)

Med school has its own issues and is a very demanding learning and career path. Lots of stress, long shifts etc. I am very impressed by the people doing it but it’s not for everyone.

Anyway, who can predict the future? There are still lots of things to do in IT in the age of AI - actually, more than before. The question is most whether you like writing software and doing planning and bug fixes all day for the next decades.

That’s the definition of democracy. Of course voting is significant and has consequences.

> That’s the definition of democracy.

In a democracy, it is the elected officials, who are meant to represent the voter, that are held accountable. Not the voter.

> Of course voting is significant and has consequences.

Tautology but also not relevant. How do you propose the voter be held accountable?

The elected official is held accountable if he doesn't do what the voters want. This one is doing what his voters want, so there's nothing to hold him accountable for.

Actually private equity have been accumulating stakes quickly in renewables lately. Makes sense. Talk bad of a future tech to own most of the cake early for cheap...

“Distilled”? I mean what model is not distilled from other data? The American models happily trained from my blog and social media data without any kind of rewards. If I can pay the inference I don’t see why I wouldn’t do this. Also, I have not seen proof that the US lab do not use other models for training either.

I'm referring to the formal usage of the term "distillation", instead of the informal one that refers to training it on any data as a whole.

In Germany you are obligated to provide usable contact information, and there are even lawyers who make their business model on suing you for not applying that perfectly (it’s has been abused a lot in the past decades btw).

What about in France?

VS Code is hard to escape as well.

No it isn't.
