The claim hinges entirely on the narrow definition of "large-scale energy generation." For the UK, with its high seasonal energy demand and low winter solar output, the cost of generation is almost irrelevant next to the cost of f

I was thinking, to build a large, efficient factory autonomously, one could use LLM as a high level agent that is using specialized tools. The overall strategy would perhaps look like following: 1. create a (intermittent) goal for a resourc

This doesn't apply to energy grid scale projects. Also that is why energy sector in most countries is privatized. Take Germany with total energy costs that would be like ~10% of the federal budget (about 40 billion euros). Making ener

none of those storage solutions are easy for grid scale. For batteries you need whole factories, pumped requires permits and tone of cement, chemical is like hydrogen with low efficiency. All of those are expensive which for government is s

pumped hydroelectric is storage; right now it is like 99% of world storage capacity.

Solar PV operates 10-30% of the time (depending on location). Without storage, this naturally limits direct solar contribution to about 20% of energy demand. Going beyond requires expensive storage solutions.

by gglon 2y ago
Achieving the first 20% of solar in an energy mix is relatively easy. Beyond that costs increase 3-5 times per energy unit mainly due to storage.

According to https://www.metaculus.com/questions/14270/spacex-starship-or... its chances to reach orbit in 2023 have just risen from 85% to 90%. Therefore generally I would call the launch a relative success.

Yes; metaculus is reputation based. Though in the comment section you will find links to other markets like https://polymarket.com/event/will-erdogan-win-the-2023-turki... which is money based market.

In my opinion the biggest near term danger is that AI will make people overly trust it. And they will start treating it as a truth oracle. Oracle that will be controlled by some small group of people. Namely, it will become a perfect tool f

That is exactly why I think one post per week and lack of global space is a great solution for a startup; it massively simplifies spam and other hostile content early detection and removal.

As I understand it a one way to disincentivise centralization is that when your node loses access to the network you lose more money if at the same time many other nodes/stake do not have access to the network. So it would be profitabl

Still it is harder to deal with sophisticated AND not sophisticated attackers than with "only" sophisticated ones.
27.
by gglon 7y ago
That would be the whole gain: set of attackers would be filtered down to sophisticated ones. That would be advantageous for the network since the more centralized potential attackers are, the easier it is to deal with them.

Yes, but not proportionately since an access to capital would be an additional cost. Eg. Imagine 2 situations when you can earn $100 by investment: 1. Buy sth for $100 end sell for $200 2. Buy for $1mln end sell for $1 000 100 Option 1. see

Yes, then the overhead(+ incentive) should be subsidized by Peers - normal users that just use the network eg. for transactions. As a tx fee or inflation.
