- Comment on Intel Fails To Achieve Gaudi AI "$500 Million" Revenue Target, Showing Slacking Performance In The AI Segment. 2 weeks ago:
I think the problem is not many companies want to invest in AI accelerators since it’s not clear if AI will even make them any money.
If you just buy GPUs, it’s much more likely that you can repurpose them if AI turns out to be a bust.

- Comment on Solar panels between railway tracks? 4 weeks ago:
2 axis solar trackers are much more efficient, but fixed installation beats them in cost/W in many cases.
Any solar installation gets dirty, the question is do you save labor/equipment cost by having them cleaned by a single solar cleaning train, vs. tons of workers or automated brushes cleaning a large open field installation. Do you need to do cleaning passes after every train? Daily? Monthly? Yearly? Is there an intersection of efficiency loss and cleaning investment that is profitable?
If you could install and maintain them in a fully automated way with just a few specialized trains, I can see why it might be an attractive idea. Question is how automated can you make it really? Do you need to fasten the panels down? How do you tie them into the grid?
If the savings on installation, maintenance and cleaning offsets the loss in revenue from the suboptimal placement and dirt, it might work.
I could see this working out if deployed on large scales, where the up front investment of developing all the specialized process and equipment, like trains, becomes a small part of the cost.
Any such proof of concept installation of an unproven technology will be more expensive than if you really deploy it at scale.
If rail didn’t exist today and we had to develop the first train and track and all the necessary infrastructure around it, the first 10km would be ludicrously expensive and would never pay itself off compared to the existing road network or shipping routes.
It’s a finetuning and risk taking problem. Does the idea make sense in a vaccum? And does the idea work in competition with existing solutions? Is anyone willing to invest enough money to make it competitve?
I hate it when extremely complex multi-variate problems always get judged based on one or two possibly negligable variables because of ignorance or intellectual laziness. Sometimes you can successfuly jugde things this way, yes, but rarely are things that simple.

- Comment on LG TVs start showing ads on screensavers 1 month ago:
I notice a major trend of all the largest companies majorly shooting themselves in the stock with turbo greed, even more greed than normal. I feel like we’re on the verge of a stock market slaughter.
“maximum ads”, “X basic necessity as an investment”, “price gouge everything via cartels/monopolies” and “X as a service” are the death nails of the current economic order.

- Comment on Solar modules deployed in France in 1992 still provide 79.5% of original output power 5 months ago:
Those are way more interesting than this single installation with -0.66%:
“Another more recent study carried out by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) on 1,700 American sites totaling 7.2 GW of power, showed a median degradation of around -0.75%/year. Moveover, another research focused on 4,300 residential installations in operation in Europe and used different data processing methodologies. Depending on the methods, a median loss of -0.36% to -0.67%/year was obtained.”
Also the article doesn’t mention standard deviation or IQR of the drop, or what efficiency they originally had. Which is the minimum of information I would expect.
- Comment on Cruelty-based intervention: Russia is set to reintroduce antipsychotic drug as autism treatment 5 months ago:
I would love to have a switch to turn off the autism at will, if that actually worked and had no side effects.
But that seems like an impossibity in this current pharma system.
Patents absolutely destroyed the incentive to sell the best drugs, instead the incentive is to sell dangerous drugs that can be patented and maximally milked for money.
