It's easier to coordinate N electricity suppliers when N is small.

My point is that scaling coordination issues exist for everything, including all sources of energy production.

Singling out solar and continuing to not prioritize it will inevitably lead to ongoing grid issues. Whereas this has been mostly solved for other sources, due to lobbying and legacy. Thus my confusion about the OPs half-baked point.


If you go up the thread, this is the context we're in:

"Solar can be deployed by hundreds of thousands of individual efforts and financing at the same time, with almost no bureaucracy."

N>100000 is a lot harder to coordinate than the ~15,000 established power plants, which have come online over the last hundred or so years.


After you sign up, you're asked to spend 10-15 minutes creating a "Lifeline." Which, despite its name, does not appear to be a lifeline of any kind, but rather a timeline of my life, except it also strips dates out, so... just a list of events in no particular order.

Unfortunately - I've got ADHD. I'm not going to spend the next 10 minutes telling the app the biggest facts about my life. Well, actually - I tried to, then I put the phone down to do something else, and when I came back the 'page' had refreshed and the four things I had entered were back down to just the first one.

(Why do you even want them? The app hasn't even explained how this will help. It's barely even tried to explain what the app will actually DO.)


Human brains are big, tangled messes of interconnected neurons that do things in way too complicated to figure out.

That doesn't mean we can usefully build software that is a big, tangled mess.


When you say "have now been resolved" - did the AI agent resolve it autonomously, did you direct it to, or did a human do it?

Looks like Cursor Agent was at least somewhat involved: https://github.com/wilsonzlin/fastrender/commit/4cc2cb3cf0bd...

Looks like a bunch of different users (including Google's Jules made one commit) been contributing to the codebase, and the recent "fixes" includes switching between various git users. https://gist.github.com/embedding-shapes/d09225180ea3236f180...

This to me seems to raise more questions than it answers.


The ones at *.ec2.internal generally mean that the git config was never set up ans it defaults to $(id -un)@$(hostname)

Indeed. Extra observant people will notice that the "Ubuntu" username was used only twice though, compared to "root" that was used +3700 times. And observant people who've dealt with infrastructure before, might recognize that username as the default for interactive EC2 instances :)

You could find, for example, a journal entry attesting that it was his first painting he'd ever done. (Either his own, or by somebody who knew him). While that's not proof, it's at least reason to believe that it is his first.

As far as I can tell, nobody in this case is claiming that it is or even might be the first, except the headline, which makes the headline misleading.


I'm inclined to agree with the commenter on the article.

I sure could find some experts for hire to drive up the price of my cultural artifact.

Without anyone wanting to buy this and spend resources on that, finding claims to proof the contrary might be a quite futile task.

The whole board of the Museum is non-experts. Nobody has any interest in devaluing that expense.

In that era even attributing works definively to a single artist and not a school or workshop just feels a bit off.

Could be. But also, ice cream manufacturers buy their ingredients more cheaply than consumers do. It is very possible that the cost of milk/butter/sugar at Walmart reflect Walmart deciding to lower their profit margins on these items, even if the cost to Walmart has increased.

Or - Walmart is a big enough supplier that they have stable contracts with manufacturers, and are able to purchase their ingredients for the same cost as always, while Turkey Hill et al is competing over what's left. (Like Apple, buying up TSMC runs.)


Lots of people are price-sensitive to groceries, and will eat more potatoes if some of them are free.

Counterpoint - if they have full root access to any phone, why did they need to do the raid?

To intimidate other reporters

So they don't burn their 0day

The same reason federal agents wear GoPros. Security theater, and to send the message that journalists should not pursue stories like this that put the federal government in a less-than-favorable light.
