German high energy prices are not result of abandoning expensive short term nuclear refurbishments. It is pure colonial extortion by US to force them into war on Russia, and buy US LNG. Global coal prices have risen as well as a result of EU LNG dependence. Any renewables mitigate those establishment energy costs. The one bad energy policy has is not letting industry participate in wholesale electricity markets. They are forced to use fixed rates.
Even in US, $100/kwh retail battery price points with bms, 48v, exist. Utility scale in rest of world is much cheaper. China is $51/kwh for a containerized full battery solution with (4 hour) inverter. At 7% ROI (to pay for full 30 year mortgage on LFP batteries as that is their life expectancy at slow charge/discharge rates) means just 1c/kwh discharge profit is required to pay for $55/kwh batteries. Similar calculation for just 4 sun hours/day. $600/kw installation costs at 7% ROI, means 3c/kwh daytime electricity rates.
There's not just exponential growth as @Hellgruen@lemmy.zip pointed out, it is dumb to do anything else.
solar + batteries scales to any size. The bigger it is the cheaper per w/wh. It is by far the cheapest energy. It does generate seasonal surpluses, and requires a "dump/optional" load. dump loads can be hydrogen/desalination, and optional loads can be datacenters that scale down during winter. Significant battery fraction can come from EV penetration. Some (mostly chinese) EVs can pay for cost of the car by just keeping it parked in driveway and earning 3c/kwh profit from night discharge rates relative to day charge rates.
Nuclear energy is categorically uneconomical. Fossil fuel oligarchy and establishment support it because it is uneconomical and a complete non threat to energy oligarchy. It's military use justifies the fraud and bribery of pretending it is economical.
There is a far greater senility problem, than anyone could ever accuse Biden of having. The problem is greater because he has no handlers around him to filter the stupid.
Trump also announced a few weeks ago that the US would collect 20% tarrifs/tolls on all shipments in the SoH. He had to walk back the stupid 2 days later. The only path towards the stupidity becoming reality is if Iran or Oman becomes a US territory, although planting a US flag on a small rock near the SoH, and setting a precedent of whoever controls that rock has territorial control over the SoH (pure stupid), would legitimize Iran's full claim, after they kill all US troops on the rock.
This would justify immediate impeachment, or to at least force another cognitive test at congress's request for review by congress.
It's not just inferior tech being redesigned, Steam production/reservoirs need extra space, and space taken away from existing design. Very unlikely that steam would be needed for anything else on the ship.
GLM 5.2 is half of K3's cost on AI analysis, is faster tps, and less token burn. V4 flash is also above 50 (loosely getting more than half questions perfect) in AI index score and even much cheaper. This approach has much better cost curve potential, even if k3/fable are included in possible routing.
someone should release something that fits in 96-128gb. Hy 3, mimo, deepseek flash are all close but 256gb (or at least more than 128gb for q4) for high context is requried. Qwen is already at 3.8, but I don't think have updated their smaller models. I assume you've tried q8 version of 3.6, and prefer the larger context window?
There is white hat potential for this "creativity". Find more/"all" vulnerabilities and get them patched. US empire allegiance will promote other paths, though.
It's a stupid study designed to answer the question "if we give money to just car owners or just rich people... will they be happy/comply". One of the problems is it costs money to measure/police compliance for any conditional aid.
Another approach to discouraging undesirable behaviour is to tax it. Revenue instead of expense, including just funding such a pointless study. Parking fees/taxes where you don't want people to go is pretty easy.
So incredibly stupid/wasteful. Just put a $3/gallon additional carbon tax on gasoline/diesel. use revenue to at least cut other taxes/rent reductions if property tax cuts, or give every resident a dividend cheque based on the carbon tax revenue. Car owners will adjust and traffic/smog improved, without just paying car owners with free money. FFS, there are cheaper than $600/mo cars I can use to scam for free money.
Huawei is far ahead of Nvidia in AI clusters despite sanctions made against it, and 5 year behind tech stack. 50% cost/performance advantage over GB300 nvl72, (including building costs) by building outdoor siteable pods with 3 week lead times. CXMT is now most valuable company in China, but because of Huawei sanctions, they sell 64gb ddr5 modules at higher price than Samsung just to Huawei. Huawei needs its own RAM fab because it is harassed by west, and Chinese suppliers price to them with "captured customer" awareness.
absolutely essential. Oil, weapons, media, zionists destroy election integrity through treasonous fraud. They all collude and support each other to boot. When SCC says money is speach, money is fraud, treason, and oppression. Take it away from the traitorous oppressors.
I'm somewhat ok with catering to a political filter in an instance/frontend, even if I prefer open inclusion. But DDOSing anyone in fediverse is bad/unacceptable.
