the only thing stopping solar are the bought up and dumb politicians.
the U.S is making progress regardless of trump trying to cripple clean energy. even in the southern states solar farms keep going up.

I build things.

no outside device comes in - no inside device goes out.
this is not fair. given the amount of work going into cell-d which will make an open source self host-able workers platform.
cz at the moment there's nothing comparable to Cloudflare workers.
eg say a foreign rich gvt wants to stoke up civil unrest via NGO / civic organizations - they bring in foreign cash (pallets loads) - then that money goes into the black market destabilizing exchange rages, some of it into crypto as being said, some to bad actors.
such is life.
it's actually surprising they happen at all given the very low probability of everything going right.
then vision & robotics.
while everyone's chasing the frontier.
hell drones are such a major deterrent even more than nukes.
we literally just seen the US blockade of Iran be pushed deep into Iran coz the US feared drone damage to their expensive ships. Iran leveled out US bases in the Middle East using drones.
pretty much you've to sell dollars to high up decision makers. and promise ROI. pretty radical.
just have to put what I have been reading in practice.
largely due the us gvt hiding information, suppressing. e.g all the bases in the Middle East are toast in range of missiles or drones. that means the us will withdraw from them silently.
weapons stockpiles are almost depleted. and replacing them takes years.
so 10% of Iran GDP vs that --
or processes can be restarted if they were not preserved and actively practiced.
maybe they will succeed just like how it was done with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
but likely now competition is global thanks to the Chinese labs and other small model providers like Mistral.
Japanese auto makers are already good at hybrid power trains, small engines.
surely extended range vehicles - 1000km+/700mi+ shouldn't be limited to Chinese brands only.
the coups that happened recently in west africa are largely due to that largely hidden cost.
dhh says 37signal's apps for Hey (their email platform moving to native)
backend for their email platform is now Rust - written by agents
says Rust produces small binaries - cutting number of servers needed from 110 to 10. hell they could serve peak traffic on a Raspberry Pi
says now that agents write all the code - use faster / native languages.
rails or ruby hardly get a mention besides that they might be well placed to capture web apps written by agents.
funny enough before people used to make estimates of how earth won't have resources to carry a large population. hence some people would need to settle in space or that there needs to a massive drive in birth control, which led to Chinese 1 child policy which has had a devastating effect.
which means the company sees both the delivery worker and the person who ordered as suckers. no wonder ride-share companies jumped onto food-delivery.
because luckily in the UK market - companies books are open to the public.
however - seems a lot of people these days are into performance theatre. maybe the blessing of A.I is it took away the need for leetcode.
if you're a startup with less than 20 people, hell even less than 100. why do you have 4 interview stages. 2 calls should be enough. hire quickly, fire quickly if need be.
how much cheaper and accessible transportation would be. on the other side uber Lyft etc enabled plenty of people who were perennially unemployed to gain income. while the subsidized rates are gone, seems the ride share companies are making some of their money on food deliveries instead (another place robots could take over ??)
anyways this is a good move from Waymo if only the program can be maintained for 20+ years.
honestly I think it's not a bad move - as it allows for tactical flexibility.
just like the USA at it's founding - deliberate actions were taken etc that were counter to the normal. & going against the wind takes a lot of energy.
at a certain point in time - you run out of energy or you've to keep keep reinvesting to not run out otherwise barbarians are knocking down at the gate.
companies exist for the sole reason to make money - not to make the world better - that's a side effect.
but unfortunately a lot of people wanna see the world as they wish it to be, not the way it is.
judgement + taste is the difference maker.
