In the UK they’re installing chargers in the lamp posts, in Germany they’re installing them in the curbs. There are solutions slowly making their way out there.

Why would a parking lot need to be “torn up” to add a power outlet

I still read “Never Eat Sour Watermelon” in my head to remember the order

If Apple didn’t want to allow Linux to boot they would have removed the functionality they specifically put into the firmware to allow Linux to boot.

I’m a fan of nuclear technology. Any plants working today should be maintained indefinitely, and in places that don’t have any options due to geography building new ones today makes sense. And hopefully those investments can help make nuclear tech cheaper in the future with SMRs, etc.

That said, anywhere that is still burning fossil fuels on a nice sunny day should be investing all their energy money into building renewables. It’s such an amazingly cheap and quick way to replace fossil fuels. Each panel hooked up is instantly displacing fossil fuels being burnt. And once you have enough solar to cover the daylight hours, you’re going to be overproducing during the brightest hours and that will induce people to hook up batteries to profit from the “free” energy and now you’ve solved the duck curve hours.

I also have some reservations about humans being responsible enough. I live in Japan and do not trust that the energy companies have learned anything from Fukushima, they’re just doing as little as possible to cover their asses. The end of Pax Americana and the rise of Climate Change unrest will also increase terrorism risks. It’s not bad enough that I’m saying don’t build nuclear, but I feel it’s still enough of a risk that renewables should be preferred when possible (of course new tech mitigates this to some extent with safer spent fuels and smaller reactors). Just decentralizing the grid so that homes can generate their own power after storms is a huge win with renewables.

Apple once advertised their new PowerMac G4 was so powerful it was classified as a munition and hence illegal to export. (this was stretching the truth a bit as the regulation allowing export of over 1 gigaflops machines had already passed)

Not any more!

Of course, the only people who have to make sacrifices for national, economic, and energy security are poor people

I like it. We need more specialization of services and less centralization. If Codeberg is the “human-made FOSS forge” then that means something when you see a project on it. If that’s not your project, fine, there is plenty of competition (and Forgejo is open source just run it yourself).

Would be cool to see someone make a “vibehub” and then you know when you see a link to a project on there what you’re getting (depending on your opinion, good or bad)

GitHub is a business making a profit from git hosting for corporations.

Codeberg is a non-profit explicitly for hosting free software projects (FOSS).

What is Codeberg? On Codeberg you can develop your own Free Software projects, contribute to other projects, browse through inspiring and useful free software, share your knowledge or build your projects a home on the web using Codeberg Pages, just to name a few.

I don’t think they’re delusional enough to think their mission is to singlehandedly kill proprietary software.

Would you be okay with a coding model that was trained only on open source software?

Would be definitely interesting to see a coding model trained only on GPL code, where that also made all of the output also automatically GPL licensed.

Can you link me to the settled law?

So this ship is obviously just an experiment in greenwashing, it sounds like the panels basically just keep the lights on.

But if the 10,800 cars were all EVs equipped with V2L and you had them powering the ship, how far could their batteries at 100% propel the ship?

10,800 * 80 kWh = 864,000 kWh. Another post said the engine output is 15,000 kW, so it could go full steam for 864,000/15,000 = 57.6 hours? Although I guess using an electric rather than fossil engine will be a lot more efficient (2x? 3x?) Still, the energy density of oil is amazing…
