California is also adding a lot of battery storage… but why are electricity prices falling in Australia and not in CA? Are they outpacing us?

Yes I will look into it now but there’s no cross reference from GCP, and why are there two ways? And why did the GCP way require all these APIs enabled while AI studio didn’t?

Personally I went to https://console.cloud.google.com since I already had some GCP projects. Then I searched for Gemini API Key. It brought me to https://console.cloud.google.com/agent-platform/studio/s

How much does OpenAI actually control the way the data centers are built and deployed? I don’t know much about the impact of their data centers compared to others, but there weren’t many (if any) concrete commitments in this letter. The pro

Since one of the major donors is Germany, I also like to consider this as reparations for WWII. I wish people in Poland would realize more how generous the EU has been to them.

Perhaps, but then surely reading should be part of the curriculum at least by by grade 1 or 2 then? But if reading is part of the curriculum (which it generally is for K and certainly for the years after) then it’s just the reality that the

If Kindergarten were just play based schooling then I’d agree with you. But there is an academic component, for example learning to read, and students abilities can be radically different.

Also it makes a lot of difference where you are. Scandinavians rarely wear sunscreen but their UV index is much lower than, say, California, let alone Australia.

You could make multiple pools, having separate ones carved out for research and advanced technology. A lot of H1Bs are not working on anything you described though.

I think I muddled my point, I think with abundance we should offer childcare to people who have jobs. Even maybe some hours for those that don’t too.

Sure, but not counting calories is even more imprecise. For many of us our built-in "calorimeters" are broken and we need to find other ways to limit intake. For example, restricting food by time or by type of food, or calorie cou

When I've lived abroad everyone (Norway, Poland, Canada...) almost everyone also had lawns in the suburbs. This is not an American-only thing. Obviously the HOA resistance to anything different is bad, but less than 30% of homes in the

We pay sales tax on business inputs as well. But unlike European producers, that tax is not deductible from from the final VAT.
