They also have not prosecuted the earlier genocides they made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_mass_killings_of_19...

I have personally flagged them as a country non-grata.

Must be quite low power engine + small battery system for that to work and translate to the promised charging time

You are correct. Some devices expose local API's, most have walled garden cloud API's

Before buying a device, it is a good idea to check if there are open source adapters for it for Home Assistant, those usually show if it can be controlled easily and preferably without cloud.

I work for a company that does exactly that (for heating systems, especially heat pumps). If anyone is interested: https://www.kapacity.io/

RIP, his work made a huge impression on me. And I admire the dignity to go when one chooses.

I guess we are all Dying, Fast and Slow.

Could you elaborate? Or link some source? I could quickly find this pointing towards them running their own servers https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/27606

If the current state of GH availability is without Azure-induced additional unreliability, I truly fear what it will be on Azure

Edit: Found the discussion about this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45517173

I fear that

Depends on the CAPEX and OPEX requirements. If it is cheap to do, it could be a solid win, but if the plant requires a lot of capital, it might be cheaper to just take the hit on efficiency

This is not taking in to account the fossil fuel usage for growing wood, transporting it and processing it to pellets.

Biofuels rarely make sense, unless we can get the biomass as a side-flow from some other process. And that kind of flows are quite limited compared to our energy needs.

I use [pi-oven](https://github.com/keichi/pi-oven) for my raspberry images. Not perfect, but kind of works and removes a lot of hassle for the provisioning.

Could not quickly find out from the project page an example on how to bake rpi images with mkosi, but the descriptions do point towards somewhat similar use case :shrug:

In Finland honey is rarely pasteurized. It is seen as a quality defect if honey is heated after extraction from the hive. Heating is thought to destroy some of the beneficial compounds in honey.

Similarly one should not put honey to too hot tea if one wants the benefits instead of just sugar.

I enjoyed the The Revolutions podcast from him, but was very confused when I returned to it and new episodes were clearly fiction. I would have preferred a separate podcast instead of using the same feed for history/non-fiction and then changing to fiction midway.

But lower speeds do make crashes a lot less deadly. Probably also less probable, as people have more time to react

Yet they have also gotten involved in a very destructive war that destroyed their fossil fuel markets, made them a pariah and wasted their Soviet heritage military arsenal. Would not count it as development.

Best space-themed Anime I have seen

Indeed. Too much capability, not enough wisdom about what to do with it

Nope, Nokia was killed via suicide-by-microsoft-exec. They took in a MS aligned CEO and promptly proceeded to destroy their own chance of competing (using Maemo/meego or android for their phones) by using MS operating system.

I guess one could call it leadership stagnation, but I would argue more it being just plain old stupidity

To me this brings to mind Eliezer's Inadequate Equilibria(https://intelligence.org/equilibriabook/ ), which goes on explaining how these non-optimal, but stable situations arise all around us in societies.

Especially the part how everyone can see the inefficiencies, but there is no (easy, non-coordinated) way to fix them.

It is still true, most common refrigerants still have quite high GWP [1]. Not as bad as in the 70's, but the transition to neutral gasses is not ready yet. And then there is also all the old installed systems still running.

But unit size does have other considerations outside the project size. For example provisioning capacity for maintenance downtime. Too big units make it quite hard to get enough capacity for the grid to stay up while maintaining hard.

For example OL3 in Finland has to limit its max power because if it trips, the grid needs to shed enough load to stay up: (in finnish) https://www.fingrid.fi/kantaverkko/sahkonsiirto/olkiluoto-3-...

Interesting, but I would be careful to generalize from mice studies

Sadly there seems to be reserves[1] for quite a long time. The real question is how much of the reserves are profitable to exploit.

It decarbonized its electricity production by building a lot of nuclear (eg. left fossil fuels in the dust). Of course only partly, as the nuclear fleet still depends on fossil fuels, but still a great achievement.

RIP. His work is excellent and deep

Also, not enough standardization of measurements to make interchangeability to work. And another point is that shipping used to be too costly over anything but water --> whole production chain had to be quite localized.

I have been usin Peek for this. https://github.com/phw/peek

Not perfect, but works.

Because we don't count the energy taken to produce the things for these developed nations in other "less developed" countries.

But they are not going to be impacted less if they burn less (on the margin). Most of the impact is already locked in in short term.

Nuclear plants, like any facility or service, need downtime for maintenance
