cinntaile··on How a giant battery is transforming a town centre in Cannington, Ontario
I don't understand. What's special about being able to charge your phone? Can't you do that anywhere you have a power socket?
cinntaile··on WhatCable: Know what your USB-C cable can do
I think you would need something that tracks relevant per cable metrics over time to see if it is degrading. That one just says yes/no, but maybe yes/no starts to flicker around its end of life?
cinntaile··on In Australia, a home battery boom has helped cut wholesale power prices
Your sibling comment is right. It stands for Levelized Cost Of Electricity.
cinntaile··on In Australia, a home battery boom has helped cut wholesale power prices
You could try using arguments instead of an appeal to authority fallacy?
cinntaile··on Hardware backdoors in some x86 CPUs
It's not as clear cut as you describe it here. In the other old thread you linked there was no real consensus if this should be considered a backdoor or not.
cinntaile··on Why Erdős Problems Are Falling to AI
There is no such thing as the Renaissance Fund. Quanta receives funds from the Simons Foundation... I also don't know where you get it from that Renaissance Technologies is heavily invested in AI. Any sources to back up your claims because I suspect you made all that up?
cinntaile··on Mistral's Shieldstral: 3B open-weights model for multimodal moderation
Another commenter already mentioned that it's more likely a lack of compute and funding that forces their hand to focus on niche tasks.
cinntaile··on Most countries provide between 20 and 40 paid days off
Why does it say 0 for the US? You have Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July and more? Are they unpaid days off?
cinntaile··on Wikimedia Foundation refuses union recognition, hires union-busting law firm
That would be Sv, not SV.
cinntaile··on Danube's record low levels force shutdown of Hungary's only nuclear plant
I don't see how that's relevant, my original post made no safety claims.
cinntaile··on Danube's record low levels force shutdown of Hungary's only nuclear plant
I don't find it ideologically inconvenient, I just don't think it's a realistic take. There are situations for power generation where fossil fuels are the only viable alternatives hence why I mentioned them. Now if you had infinite resources and infinite money then that's probably not true, but we don't live in a world like that.
cinntaile··on Everything that happens in a US airport is under duress
A bit of a weird tangent? You can tell them yourself. You are free to reuse my sentence if it helps.
cinntaile··on Danube's record low levels force shutdown of Hungary's only nuclear plant
It's unsafe so it's never a good fit? That kind of reasoning is just noise. Unsafe for what? Compared to what? What alternatives, given the constraints, exist?
cinntaile··on Everything that happens in a US airport is under duress
I can access court decisions just fine and I'm not in the US, so no. It's not.

The chances are not very high that you are well-versed in how all the other countries in the world work. Whenever you think something is unique, it is quite likely that you will be wrong.

cinntaile··on Danube's record low levels force shutdown of Hungary's only nuclear plant
It's not going to reduce any time soon. Either way the reality is that sometimes fossil fuel power plants make sense, that's why they're still being built.
cinntaile··on Everything that happens in a US airport is under duress
> Americans know because we can access our US court decisions, unlike any other country in the world.

This is not a uniquely US thing?

> It depends on what you are optimizing for and what is geographically, (geo)politically and economically possible.

I mentioned all of this in my message. What was unclear about it or did you perhaps not read past the first sentence?

cinntaile··on Danube's record low levels force shutdown of Hungary's only nuclear plant
I don't know what you mean with "no safe level of fossil fuel use". It doesn't mean anything without contextualizing that statement.
cinntaile··on Danube's record low levels force shutdown of Hungary's only nuclear plant
People arguing for one alternative over the other are usually politically motivated. I feel like you are doing the same. Sometimes nuclear is a good fit, sometimes renewables is a good fit, sometimes fossil fuels are a good fit. Most of the time a mix is the best fit. It depends on what you are optimizing for and what is geographically, (geo)politically and economically possible. All these systems are then built using assumptions, sometimes those assumptions no longer make sense after a certain period of time and sometimes you just temporarily or permanently have to adapt to the changes in the environment. This is an unusual but expected scenario for the nuclear plants along the Danube.
cinntaile··on Google Discloses $94.1B in SpaceX Stock, Marking 6% Stake
Did I miss something? When did Spacex get into the fab business?
cinntaile··on Ask HN: If OpenAI hacked HuggingFace, why aren't OpenAI prosecuted?
I think the no action results speak for themselves. I'm not sure what there is to disagree about to be honest.
cinntaile··on Ask HN: If OpenAI hacked HuggingFace, why aren't OpenAI prosecuted?
Nobody is pressing charges because nothing happened. It wasn't nefarious either.

I don't get what France has to do with this Huggingface and OpenAI are both US companies.

cinntaile··on Does creatine make you smarter?
They paywalled it before LLMs.
cinntaile··on Critical Minerals: Reducing U.S. import reliance with substitution and recycling
Its market value is clearly not high enough or they wouldn't use it in disposable vapes.
cinntaile··on I Built a Private Genomics Study with Stoffel MPC
Nowadays people would have guessed it was Model Context Protocol.
cinntaile··on I'm Done with Mullvad
Yes I have asked you this many times, but you have not answered it even once.
cinntaile··on I'm Done with Mullvad
Sure, pick one of their sources to support your claims. If they already did the job for you it should be very easy.

To reiterate your claims:

> Sweden has, more than any other country, faced an astounding and shocking rise of intense violence and organized crime, with shootings in the middle of cities and cafés, all linked to people that were openly accepted through its refugee programs.

1. Which link proves that Sweden has had a more shocking rise of intense violence and organized crime than all other countries in the world?

2. Which link proves that they are all linked to people that were openly accepted through its refugee programs?

Regarding 1. it would also be interesting to know which time period you are referring to, because that's pretty much a prerequisite for a claim like that.

cinntaile··on I'm Done with Mullvad
You didn't link it because it was an interesting thesis, you linked it to back up your claims when I asked for a source. Which it didn't do. You still need to provide a source for your claims. You can also retract your claims of course, that's fine too.
cinntaile··on I'm Done with Mullvad
You tell me, you claimed to know their plans. I don't know where you got that info from?

I checked the official source, which should be considered the authoritative source imo?

cinntaile··on I'm Done with Mullvad
I just checked. They haven't published their political standpoints yet so it's too early to say. They claim they will soon, ahead of the elections.
