Or eat mussels. Yes I am aware that this is not vegan, but it is hard to think that they would be a lot more conscious than plants, and they are sustainable and clean up the water.
I consider myself vegan (although I guess I'm technically not then) but eat mussels, they contain almost everything missing in a vegan diet.
Are you Chinese, by chance? Chinese Buddhist lay food culture (especially in the south) generally accepts oysters, mussels and scallops as non-sentient, and I can see why. I’ve considered trying them, but right now I don’t have a clear way to measure whether I am deficent in the nutrients in question (and therefore can’t measure whether supplements help), so I’ve defaulted to avoiding them.
Pretty cool, although it's polluting so hopefully it wouldn't become too popular (probably not).
"And because such diminutive payloads don’t pose a danger to aircraft" even though they are small and wouldn't make a plane crash, I can imagine they would cause some damage if they ever enter a jet engine, although that would be unlucky as they would mostly fly higher than aircraft. I also wouldn't like it to fall on my head, but with the solar panels as depicted and the small weight I suppose it could somewhat glide.
It also reminds me of the recent incident where an object (potentially a weather balloon) struck a plane windscreen and caused significant damage to it, as well as injuring one of the flight crew. I don't know if it would cause the same amount of damage given it's size, but hitting any solid object at cruising speed is sure to leave a mark
Yeah, and pico baloons are extremely tiny, often at 10 grams or less, comprising some very thin plastic, some thin wire and tiny PCBs - this is also how they can fly so high for so long.
Lost of types of hail will be much heavier and harder on impact for example.
As doctors often do in clinical patient records, of course. (To be fair, the article also looks like care team-to-patient messages, so I'm sure there's some "happy fall!" messages in there.)
What about renewables + battery storage? Does it take much longer to build? I can imagine getting a permit can take quite a long time, but what takes so long to set up solar panels and link them to batteries, without even having to connect them to the grid?
How many batteries is that? If we're talking solar and you have say a 300MW datacenter and you need it to operate for 12 hours without sun you need at least two of the largest battery install in the world[1] at 1700MWh. That doesn't factor cloudy days.
Another POV is, if datacenters are really constrained by power, by all means, offer users a discount when their queries utilize solar. Millions of Americans drive further to save cents to fill up their tanks - you can’t say there isn’t precedent among normal people to deal with this. The better question is, is it really a constraint?
Doesnt really work, as the biggest cost is buying GPUs etc which has to be paid for, and leaving them idle when the sun isnt shining doesnt pay the purchase costs. Their are industries where this does work though.
You both are talking about this stuff as if it is a new concept. Demand-based pricing is already commonplace for both electricity and compute.
The demand for both compute and electricity is higher while people are awake and using them. But not all demand is realtime, and some will shift in response to prices.
haha how do you figure? with how much time people spend playing league of legends, watching tiktok and standing in line for "Free" shit, i think their time is actually quite flexible
Reciprocating natural gas engines can be moved from [concrete] pad to pad and be up and running in under 24 hours. The portable turbines take longer but they’re still fast.
Acquiring enough solar panels and battery storage still takes a very long time by comparison.
The density required for solar is also much lower - the coordination between different land parcels and routing power and getting easements increases the time required vs. on prem gas turbines.
Takes much longer to build, requires a much larger up-front investment, and requires a lot more land.
The footprint needed when trying to generate this much power from solar or wind necessitates large-scale land acquisition plus the transmission infrastructure to get all that power to the actual data center, since you won't usually have enough land directly adjacent to it. That plus all the battery infrastructure makes it a non-starter for projects where short timescales are key.
This is interesting but there isn't any battery breakthrough here, and I don't think many people would accept losing cargo capacity/passenger seats and potentially safety features just to be able to charge every 800 km instead of 400 (they would pay less in electricity though).
Some months back they changed their terms of service and by default users now allow Anthropic to use prompts for learning. As it's difficult to know if your prompts, or derivations of it, are part of a model, I would consider the possibility that they use everyone's prompt.
We have a similar law in France. Something is unclear to me though:
"build a conceptually similar, 657 kW solar carport system across 12 parking lots (shown, above) that delivers more than 1.23 million kWh of clean, emissions-free power annually and offsets the equivalent of 185,000 vehicles’ worth of harmful carbon emissions."
Not sure what that means but that doesn't seem right.
"Here in the US, we’re proving that out, too – the Northwest Fire District in Arizona partnered with Standard Solar to build a conceptually similar, 657 kW solar carport system across 12 parking lots (shown, above) that delivers more than 1.23 million kWh of clean, emissions-free power annually and offsets the equivalent of 185,000 vehicles’ worth of harmful carbon emissions."
I have to wonder if they are taking into account the AC usage or other factors to get there; When you park in the shade, you don't have to cool your car down nearly as much. This effect is greater in hot deserts with lots of sun. There are likely other benefits to the vehicles and infrastructure.
The average emissions for a car is 4.6 tons of co2.
The average carbon intensity of U.S. electricity generation is around 384 grams of co2 per kWh.
1230000 * 0.384 / 1000 = 472 tons.
But 185000 cars emit 851000 tons so 500 tons is like a rounding error, unless I am mistaken.
Either it’s a full on hallucination or they intend the power to be used to charge electric vehicles. Which is a stretch because solar parking isn’t going to sell that many electric vehicles. It will sell some, but not that many more.
As a developer, is there a way on mac to limit npm file access to the specific project?
So that if you install a compromised package it cannot access any data outside of your project directory?
Wrote a small utility shell script that uses docker behind the scenes to prevent access to your host machine while still allowing full npm install and run workflow.
I wonder why they didn't add something more nefarious that can run on developers machines while they were at it, would it have been too easy to see? It was caught very quickly anyway.
