Do you have any numbers to back that statement up? E.g. I have solar panels and a home battery and pay less than a $100 a year for electricity.

How is it a waste of money if a lot of people, including the author of the article, already have an nVidia GPU in their PC? Running locally has a lot of advantages - privacy, getting to learn how to run LLMs, not having to deal with quotas,

EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway have huge government innovation funds. Unfortunately they are mostly given to manage to politicians who are loyal, but not very bright, and possibly corrupt. Now would be a perfect time to take advantage of the s

My guess is the battery will come with some sort of remotely controlled switch that disconnects the house from the grid, before the battery starts supplying power.

This is an interesting idea and I wish you a good luck building a profitable business around it. Before starting to apply voltage to a home electric gird, I guess you need to disconnect it from the central grid - how do you do that? Or do y

The big, expensive batteries are dead reliable. It's the puny 12-volts that are causing problems.

Boeing has been very slow at raising salaries and contract rates in the last 15 years or so. That lead to a lot of the best engineers, managers and technicians leaving.

Apparently a few CF customers got emails last week saying that CF is investigating a customer data leak. Wonder if it has something to do with the lack of response from support.

DDR5 has a bit of ECC built in, but yeah - one of the major problems that Intel created is using ECC RAM support as a feature to sell their Xeon line of processors and so living 99% of the desktop users without ECC.

SoC RAM let's the vendor abuse the user. The 8GB needed to go from 8GB to 16GB on a MacBook Air cost Apple less than $10, but it charges the customer extra $200 for it. Don't see how Apple makes more money is a good thing - it mea

I need 64GB, this Intel new generation will be useless to me. I think Dell XPS is the only laptop with Qualcomm Snapdragon X that offers 64GB currently. I see upgradable RAM as on of the big advantages of x64 laptops over Apple and Qualcomm

Very interesting. Wonder what does building an aircraft carrier fleet say about China's military priorities. Are they more focused on occupying Taiwan, or on keeping the Malacca Straight open for commerce, or on power projection across
