4·5 days agoThere’s a reason cost of living has been so cheap there for years. People who haven’t been paying attention are about to find out.
It is miles ahead of Opus when designing scientific experiments. If you want to discover novel techniques or combine known techniques in new ways and you want to be sure that what you are measuring is real and not dependent on your specific dataset, Opus or even Fable just does not compete. Opus is fine for running experiments, but when it comes to interpreting results or recommending next steps, it makes mistakes.

2·20 days agoThe thing is that plug in solar only works when the grid is available, when it senses that the grid has shut off, it disconnects as well to avoid backfeeding and harming workers or feeding a fault. A battery that can only be connected when the power is on has no point. If it were to work, it would somehow need to be able to trip the main breaker when it powers on and lock it out until the battery is disconnected. It won’t be as simple as just “plug it into the wall and get power”

2·29 days agoDo not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.
