re: Power usage is flatlining... Where are you getting that? The 2026 AEMO plan says: "Electricity consumption is expected to almost double over the coming decades, driven by population and economic growth, electrification across homes

Fair points, but you are glossing over important issues: 1. You are using the current point-in-time cost for batteries as compared to a subsidy spent over years while battery costs were dropping. 2. You do not include transmission upgrades

Would open sourcing it make you feel like the results might be compromised? I'd rather keep it private so it's specific to my use cases and not included in any training date (no matter now small the signal in the overall data).

This is an interesting idea, without giving away your benchmarks specifically what kind of stuff do you test? I might try to assemble something myself, it's so hard to determine model quality from the system card these days.

I am increasingly wondering if we are in a post-language world in terms of development. Why would I ask an agent to write a server in anything other than the most efficient language, although efficiency can take several forms: runtime, toke

I would argue that it helps me when performing maintenance to see and correct where types may have changed. Not always, and sometimes it is busy work I agree, but overall I prefer it.

I agree, and I'm not sure how something like 'var accounts = calculateAccounts(something)' can be thought of as better in a code review setting. I suspect using "var" or equivalent will be considered a problem by mo

I can understand the frustration from a climate change perspective, but you still get the benefits of cleaner air locally, increasing energy independence and freedom from commodity cost fluctuations.

This is kind of happening at scale in China right now (only some brands are pursuing it though): https://restofworld.org/2024/ev-battery-swapping-china/ It's an interesting trade off between swapping station

It's hard not to think that both Honda and Toyota are just trying to convince EV buyers to delay their purchase since something "much better" is about to be released, or at least until they have time to release competitive EV

It should be considered a failure of our profession that after all these years the number 1 issue is still out of bounds write, a memory safety issue. In any true engineering profession a failure of this sort would be unacceptable, but in o

It’s very healthy to be skeptical. I’m no expert but the current status appears to be a successful test of the merge on a public testnet and an expectation that it will happen on mainnet in the next few months. More details here: https:&#x

I very happily use this technique and I believe I found out about it from your original blog post. Thanks for the original writeup and for the update on how it's going a few years in!

Has anybody tried this and can share their experiences? It sounds really cool, but it's usually the edge cases that determine whether something like this is actually good or not. Thanks!

Agree, it's a straight up reduction in code readability for all future maintainers so a single original developer can avoid doing a thing their IDE probably would do for them automatically. (I use "introduce variable" to crea

None of these feel particularly true to me, but in particular "less code is more readable" is just so clearly not true. If this was the case we'd all still be using Perl.

Is that pricing for an additional service that is optional, or is it required to operate the card? I'm confused.

Tip for that situation: Since Heroku runs on AWS, you can just use a single RDS DB instance to serve as the database for a bunch of hobby instances. Really hard to beat the $5/dyno hobby pricing considering the feature set.

It's 14GB for $500/month. Still pretty expensive though.
