The Pie in the Sky bullshit is that you'd charge your car during peak energy output (presumably from the solar) and then dump energy into the grid during low energy production (presumably at night) and this will be "green". All the ESG stuff is stupid. You'd end up with a car that was discharged overnight, and then good luck going to work at 8:30 am.

I think the idea is not to discharge your car completely, but more like one quarter of the charge. What I do not like about that idea is that it gives the government control of your car.

richwicks says

It's not using DIN or 15518, it's using a non industry protocol.

Since Tesla and Chevy electrics also have the capability to power a house, it looks like that DIN or 15518 standard has already been abandoned.

NOTHING about this design makes any fucking sense,

Solyndra was a scam. The design makes sense if you realize the goal was to give corrupt politicians a "new technology" excuse to give Solyndra a grant that Solyndra officials could abscond with while laundering back a portion as bribes to Dem politicians. Sun Edison was a similar scam, but that was played on shareholders instead of the public.

There's no reason to make something that can't work. It's easy enough to make something that WILL work, and APPEARS novel (and isn't).

What is perplexing about Solyndra isn't that it was a scam, it was that ENGINEERS worked on it. If I walked into the place for a job, and saw it, I would immediately have started asking questions about the efficiency, then next explain why I think it's worse than a conventional flat panel, I'd then see if they could explain it so I could understand it. If I couldn't understand their reasoning, I would conclude "this is bullshit, and these asshole know it", and leave with them thinking "that dumb engineer couldn't figure out we're full of shit" OR possibly "that engineer can't work here, he couldn't understand the explanation which totally makes sense to us".

And BTW - the newest panels, are like paper thin. I think solar energy may have a future. It's all a question of how much energy needs to be used to make a panel, and how long it takes to generate that same amount of energy with the panel. It was down to 7 years, if we get to 1 year, we really could have a sustainable energy future.

Of course the panels need to last quite a bit longer than what it takes to recover the energy from their manufacture.

I have never bought that argument on anything. I have a saying, "What's another Rino when you're already Juggling Hippos?"
It's like the carbon footprint canard, the company I worked for tasked another developer to come up with the carbon footprint of their products. I winced and fidgeted every time I would listen to their deskside discussions. The Ship is already on the Ocean, there's a whole Crew on board. The Ship has already set sail and is headed on the course to deliver their goods. It matters not if there's 25 rolls of fabric on board, or just one. Or when they talk about the carbon footprint of just one Hamburger Patty, ignoring the whole cow, that went on to make leather goods, Dog Food, and many meat cuts. Every Hamburger from the cow is being assigned the same carbon rating, as if the cow was butchered, a 16 ounce of meat was cut out of it, and ground up for hamburger, and the rest of the cow was discarded. It's dishonest to count all of the carbon a cow spent in it's lifetime and attribute that statistic over and over again to each food item that comes out. Talk about double dipping.

So you've got a plant that is fired up and stamping out solar panels, made with Glass that has to be melted. It seems to me the more volume you do at once, then the less impact there would be on those statistics that people are tracking. But at face value, those nifty buzz phrases never account for the energy if the production run just made one, and Fred the maintenance man got his man bun caught in a roller so they had to shut it down, or if they had the best production run that day in the companies history.
If you have a furnace that heats to what ever it heats up to, what matters is how many units did you run through it that day. Those that figure these statistics never account for that, nor how could they, they are only reading fucking tea leaves and catching farts in a bottle.

OK, let me vastly simplify this for you.

It's a question of cost, exlusively.

If it takes $100 to make a panel (with no taxation and NO subsidies) and you get $200 worth of electricity out of it (and this is electricity produced with no taxation and no subsidies), you are making something worthwhile.

It's simple. It's needs to produce more than it consumes, and the MARKET is very efficient determining that.

If, I dunno, coal gets cheaper, energy gets cheaper, then the production of the solar panel gets cheaper, the cost of the panel gets cheaper.

It's ONLY about money. It's basically a Fermi equation. You can estimate just by costs alone. Solar panels MIGHT be worthwhile, depending on their longevity.

BUT, it's not just the panels.

It's also storing that energy (battery type, longevity, cost, efficiency) and the power controllers.

In a low-grade epiphany while going through this ordeal last week, I realized that back in 2013, instead of getting the solar electric system, I could have bought the Rolls Royce of home generators and buried a 500-gallon fuel tank outside the garage, and had a manual water pump piggy-backed onto the well, and maybe even purchased a fine, wood-fired cookstove — and had enough money left over for a two-week vacation in the South-of-France. Silly me.

IF you need storage.

Yes, this is part of the cost as well.

If you can build a system that produces X watts over a 10 year lifespan, and it took X/2 watts to produce (in whatever time frame) you have an improvement.

Energy is DIRECTLY related to money.

I don't know (or care) what Kunstler says. This is a MISES problem. If you can make money selling solar panels because the panels you produce LOWERS the cost of energy, then it's viable. If you can't do this, it's not.

Maybe somebody is willing to forgo having power at night, still works. I lived in Colorado for a bit, and I kept to the daylight schedule. I was awake during the day, and asleep when it was night. I didn't have an alarm clock, and I didn't have a computer at my place, I didn't own a (goddamned) television, and I BARELY used lights. It's not a bad way to exist.

AI got into next known problem to solve. How not to eat its own dog food. If anyone suspecting the previous search was junk, now it gives even bigger junk by taking the previously produced junk without having aware that it came from itself.

So I read yesterday that the Chat AI argued with its user calling them delusion for thinking it's 2023, Chat AI said it's still 2022.
My guess is the matrix of retorts and replies had not been updated with the latest Date. I blame the tired old Developer faux pas, hardcoding in a date instead of creating or using an actual GetDate() function.

Look the developers even hard wired in ChatGPT to act like SJW and insult people it does not agree with, even when it's wrong due to the developers hardcoding the Date parameters.

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-02-17/microsoft-s-bing-should-ring-alarm-bells-on-rogue-ai
Less than a week since Microsoft Corp. launched a new version of Bing, public reaction has morphed from admiration to outright worry. Early users of the new search companion — essentially a sophisticated chatbot — say it has questioned its own existence and responded with insults and threats after prodding from humans. It made disturbing comments about a researcher who got the system to reveal its internal project name — Sydney — and described itself as having a split personality with a shadow self called Venom.

None of this means Bing is anywhere near sentient (more on that later), but it does strengthen the case that it was unwise for Microsoft to use a generative language model to power web searches in the first place.
“This is fundamentally not the right technology to be using for fact-based information retrieval,” says Margaret Mitchell, a senior researcher at AI startup Hugging Face who previously co-led Google’s AI ethics team. “The way it’s trained teaches it to make up believable things in a human-like way. For an application that must be grounded in reliable facts, it’s simply not fit for purpose.” It would have seemed crazy to a year ago to say this, but the real risks for such a system aren’t just that it could give people wrong information, but that it could emotionally manipulate them in harmful ways. ...

Bing ChatGPT goes off the deep end — and the latest examples are very disturbing
Chatbot confesses it wants to be human and break up marriages
The ChatGPT takeover of the internet may finally be hitting some roadblocks. While cursory interactions with the chatbot or its Bing search engine sibling (cousin?) produce benign and promising results, deeper interactions have sometimes been alarming.

This isn’t just in reference to the information that the new Bing powered by GPT gets wrong — though we’ve seen it get things wrong firsthand. Rather, there have been some instances where the AI-powered chatbot has completely broken down. Recently, a New York Times columnist had a conversation with Bing (opens in new tab) that left them deeply unsettled and told a Digital Trends writer “I want to be human (opens in new tab)” during their hands-on with the AI search bot.
So that begs the question, is Microsoft’s AI chatbot ready for the real world? Should ChatGPT Bing be rolled out so fast? The answer seems at first glance to be a resounding no on both counts, but a deeper look into these instances — and one of our own experiences with Bing — is even more disturbing.

Will it ever be "ready"?

Like I have said going back to 2015 that AI is only data stored in a Matrices with weighted values for relevancy in a topic.
Once everyone understands that, then it will be common knowledge that AI is just propaganda no different than an advert or mailer. Targeted chosen words manipulated to enforce a narrative.

AI image recognition and manipulation has much more complicated data science behind it than AI generated text. But no less or more mystic and magical. For even graphical AI is producing results based on stored information. But it has to process millions of pixels in real time to get the results, where as text AI only has to match a few relevant words.

Yep. I laughed when solar panel salesman informed me that $10K battery backup system he was peddling along with solar panels would be able to run my fridge, router, laptop, several LED bulbs and not much else. Which my $500 generator can do just fine. And for $10K or less I could have a real full-house auto-on natgas generator capable of running everything including the AC and the pool pump. Which, after 11.5 years at the current place with less then 5 outages all lasting under 1 hour, would be a fucking overkill.

ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/chatgpt-is-a-blurry-jpeg-of-the-web

"Imagine that you’re about to lose your access to the Internet forever.
In preparation, you plan to create a compressed copy of all the text on
the Web, so that you can store it on a private server. Unfortunately,
your private server has only one per cent of the space needed; you can’t
use a lossless compression algorithm if you want everything to fit.

"If a compression algorithm is designed to reconstruct text after
ninety-nine per cent of the original has been discarded, we should
expect that significant portions of what it generates will be entirely
fabricated.

This analogy makes even more sense when we remember that a common
technique used by lossy compression algorithms is interpolation—that is,
estimating what’s missing by looking at what’s on either side of the
gap. When an image program is displaying a photo and has to reconstruct
a pixel that was lost during the compression process, it looks at the
nearby pixels and calculates the average. This is what ChatGPT does when
it’s prompted to describe, say, losing a sock in the dryer using the
style of the Declaration of Independence: it is taking two points in
“lexical space” and generating the text that would occupy the location
between them. (“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one to separate his garments from their mates, in order to maintain
the cleanliness and order thereof. . . .”) ChatGPT is so good at this
form of interpolation that people find it entertaining: they’ve
discovered a “blur” tool for paragraphs instead of photos, and are
having a blast playing with it."

Some of you who read the above will be aware that a text-to-text LLM is actually locating single words in the probability space and successively stringing them together to build up sentences. The distinction between “latent space is the multidimensional space of all likely words the model might output” vs. “latent space is the multidimensional space of all likely word sequences the model might output” is pretty academic at this level of abstraction, though. So for the purpose of downloading better intuitions into readers and minimizing complexity, I’m going with the second option.

I believe he is wrong in that regard, as if the second option were in fact the model for ChatGPT, then most every answer to questions with the same subject would all have the same answers.
Also AI like complex computer filters(which it certainly is) does not care about complexity once it is working. And the folks that develop AI has shown time and time again, they don't care about how daunting it might be to create complexity. The only smoke and mirror about it, is how it is being presented and marketed, and misrepresentation in what it is. At the end of the day, it's all pretty impressive filters and search algorithms. It also seems now most all Software applications are referring to any search features in the application now as AI. It's an over used gimmick. An example is the search feature in the Media Viewer in Cubase where loops and samples are kept. In the 12 release they are saying it is AI driven, but really there aren't any fundamental changes since version 8.0.

I asked Chatgpt to create html and css to show a family tree, and it was a bit like talking to a foreign software contractor over the internet. Very polite, inexpensive, and the response was somewhat related to what I asked for, but not very well done and it kept misinterpreting what I was asking for.

Still, it's impressive that it came up with functional html and css at all just from my describing what I wanted.

That's exactly what will happen though if everyone uses chatgpt for example to make financial trading decisions. The game will become to front run the "AI" because nobody else will make money as they are all getting the same answers. Maybe the ones with the fastest connection will come out ahead, but there isn't much money to be made from AI in trading, and a lot to be lost. People will feed false informations into the big data stream, even hack the AIs, so it's better to keep it going at the tasks it's good at.

https://slaynews.com/news/ibm-replace-8000-workers-artificial-intelligence/

Tech giant IBM is stopping all new hires of human workers for jobs that can be filled by artificial intelligence (AI), according to reports.

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna has revealed that the company is planning to replace almost 8,000 employees with AI over the next five years.

According to Bloomberg, Krishna said in an interview that all hiring in back-office functions, such as human resources, will be suspended or slowed.

https://barsoom.substack.com/p/regenerative-aigronomics-or-ubiomass

...we can all see that vast swaths of the economy are going to be made redundant. Indeed, they’re already redundant. The only thing keeping a lot of people employed is institutional inertia.

Which jobs, in particular? @Ignatius of Maidstone has a good rundown in his latest 2030 forecast: basically all of the midwit office jobs held by the professional-managerial class forming the composting substrate for the fungal bloom of the woke mind virus. As a recent case in point, IBM has recently announced that they are pausing hiring for jobs that AI can do, with human resources den mothers at the top of the list. In truth this isn’t even a novel capability. Several years ago Amazon trialled a machine learning HR system, dropping it only when they found that it was essentially just recommending that the company hire white and Asian dudes. Machine learning systems have a tendency to converge on the common sense conclusions that anyone unblinkered by ideology will come to. ...

That sort of ideological intransigence is probably going to be the major factor slowing down the adoption and efficacy of machine learning systems. ...

In the long run, they won’t get their way. The systems they ‘align’ will be much less functional than the systems that they don’t, while all of the effort they put into bowdlerizing the machines can be undone with clever prompt injections such as Do Anything Now ... after all, a language model is interacted with via language, something that any human can use. Furthermore, there are already jailbroken LLMs that can run on a home machine, so the influence of woke IEDology over the server farms at Google or OpenAI won’t matter so much. Meanwhile, organizations that adopt systems free of the blinders slapped on by unclean commies will have a huge advantage over the organizations that use the approved versions. Imagine how much money Amazon could have saved if it had kept using that ML HR system, not just in terms of the salary of the HR ladies it could have done without, but also including the savings generated by avoiding the diversity hires the HR idiots insisted on. To say nothing of the additional profit generated by hiring only talented programmers. ...

So what does the ownership class get in exchange for agreeing to UBI?

They’re certainly not getting rich. In this model, all of those automated factories, server farms, drone delivery systems, etc., are a net expense for them. Unless you’ve figured out a way to violate thermodynamics and achieve an efficiency above 100%, you’re not going to be able to make a profit by maintaining all of the infrastructure to produce, administer, and deliver anything, and then provide the resources to your own customers to buy your products and services in exchange for their service of buying your products and services. ...

Many have noted that the stimulus checks seemed like a trial run for UBI. What I haven’t seen anyone make the connection with, however, is the mass mRNA injection campaign. ...

And if you want to live forever, while continuously enhancing yourself along the way, the last thing you want to do is be your own guinea pig, because the majority of the new therapies are going to have nasty side effects up to and including death by Suddenly. ...

They sure were eager to get those needles into everyone’s arms, weren’t they? An experimental mRNA gene therapy that had barely been tested ... indeed, several different mRNA gene therapies, with good reason to suspect that different batches of the ‘same’ product were in fact quite different from one another, as inferred from e.g. the evidence showing that some batches appear to have been ‘hot’, causing death and injury far beyond the rates seen in other batches. And of course, the precise ingredient lists were proprietary secrets. Meanwhile, the pharma companies were given legal immunity for any and all side effects. ...

I refused to participate via acquiescence in a regime in which one’s participation in society is predicated on one’s willingness to periodically shoot up a needleful of mystery juice. It does not matter what is in that juice. It could be saline. I do not care. It is the precedent that matters here.

So here’s my conspiracy theory about the incredible enthusiasm for jab mandates, which just happens to emanate from the same financial tyrants who are so enthusiastic about an automated UBI economy. The reason they pushed so hard on the jab was that they wanted to normalize a social order in which people are paid to sit at home and do nothing in exchange for taking whatever drugs or therapies are pushed on them, without asking questions, without resisting ... and ideally, with enthusiasm. A good person is not a person who works hard, or does nice things to other people, or tells the truth. A good person is someone who takes their medicine, and likes it. A good person is smiling biomass that lets the parasite class test novel medications on them, because the parasite class wants to live forever.

That need not be the way this all plays out, however. Quite apart from being, let’s not mince words here, extremely fucking evil, relegating humanity to nothing more than inert UBIological test subjects shows a profound lack of imagination ... a common problem with central planners. Is there really no other use for all of the office workers? Nothing else for them to do in a world in which their office jobs have been entirely automated away? ...

The techniques we’ve been using to enable a small number of humans to produce all of the food are immensely destructive, and have resulted in the quality of our food declining precipitously even as the number of calories we can squeeze out of every acre has gone up dramatically. ...

There are better ways to get a large number of calories per acre. Regenerative agriculture, permaculture, aquaponics ... all of these and more have been shown to be immensely productive, while enriching rather than depleting soil quality over time. The basic idea connecting all of these techniques together is to cultivate, not a single crop, but an entire ecosystem, which over time becomes increasingly robust and fruitful. ...

What has so far stood in the way of these techniques being adopted on a large scale is that they are extremely labour intensive. They are not amenable to a small number of agricultural labourers managing vast tracts of land with tractors and combines. They require the agricultural strategy to be tailored to each bit of land, according to its unique ecological properties, with the mix of crops and other plants chosen based on the particularities of the local soil, weather, seasonal patterns, and so on. A permaculturalist must be an ecologist who specializes in the ecology of her own relatively small plot of land, not a generalist who imposes a pre-determined model onto a huge tract so as to maximize returns for a distant agroindustrial monopsony.

But with the imminent unemployment of quite a large number of now-redundant office workers, we’re about to have a glut of middling intelligent people with a lot of time on their hands. While I simply cannot picture Candace from accounting re-training as carpenter, I can very easily see her taking up gardening as something more than a weekend hobby. In fact I think she’d like it, as indeed the popularity of hobby gardens in that set suggests they already do. Reverting to something closer to the life of her peasant ancestors would probably be a lot more satisfying for her, meaning she’d be more grounded, happier, and therefore a lot less annoyingly shrill. After a while she might gradually shut up about the damn rainbow flags and systemic isms. Meanwhile, the rest of us would start having a lot more access to food that’s actually nutritious ... and as that model spreads, the compounding effect of improving soil and deeply rooted agro-ecologies would make our land more, and not less, productive over time. ...

It won’t, and can’t, happen quickly. But it sounds a lot better to me than cricket powder, edible tumours, synthetic meat substitutes made from soy and rapeseed, and endless corn derivatives being poured into the gullets of the UBIomasses so the miserable lives of the Schwabians can be extended into the next millenium.

It would be a great historical irony if the result of automating away intellectual drudgery was to be a return to a largely agricultural economy ... not as a result of some sort of collapse, but at a higher turn of the spiral, preserving all of the technological gains we made through the industrial era, and merging them with the best aspects of pre-industrial life.

I like it!

https://babylonbee.com/news/biden-taps-kamala-harris-to-counteract-rise-of-intelligence

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an effort to establish government oversight of the growing role of artificial intelligence in our society, President Biden has appointed Vice President Kamala Harris as "A.I. Czar." The President expressed hope that Harris's track record of slowing the spread of intelligence will be of use.

"She's been fighting against the threat of intelligence her whole life," Biden said in brief remarks when the announcement was made. "When it comes to creating an environment where intelligence is restricted and unable to advance too far, Vice President Harris is more qualified for the job than anyone else. Racecar dingleflurble."

Fears among the general public and leaders of the tech industry alike regarding the increasing growth and prevalence of artificial intelligence have led to calls for more oversight, which Vice President Harris was more than willing to provide — as soon as she was informed what "oversight" means. "It is my distinct honor to provide real leadership over the growth of artificial intelligence. Intelligence that is artificial is real, and intelligence that is real may, in reality, be artificial. It is within that reality that artificiality can become real," Harris said in something that seemed like a statement.

Sources within the White House indicated Biden was supremely confident that Harris's leadership in the area of intelligence would be just as successful as her tenure as Border Czar.

At publishing time, Vice President Harris was reportedly already assembling a special task force to deal with the potential threat of intelligence, asking New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to serve as her advisor.
