I work in this field. I’m trying to change these numbers! We are heading the right direction is the good news. China may well save us all with cheaper panels and battery manufacturing. And if 97% reduces our emissions even 50% on todays emissions then we can start talking about actually meeting some climate targets.

So this is all good news, but as I also said: I work in this field and know we have a long way to go yet. There also isn’t a single answer. Batteries, smart grids, grid-interconnects, efficiencies, supply mixes, demand offsetting; power is the best thing in the world to work in right now, it touches sooo many aspects of humanity and is changing so fast!

Coal has long been unprofitable, and nuclear has always needed huge state funding (you get weapons as the byproduct of nuclear power, hence the subsidies). Until it beats gas it still isn’t cheap enough imo. Gas of course is still massively subsidised too though, and that’s where we need to continue to work: our policy makers need to end fossil fuel subsidies

I’ve got some bad news for you. They will never fix the mistakes as it cannot reason, it has no actual intelligence. LLMs are already plateauing and are miles away from being trustworthy. And they steal copyrighted work every request

Gemini protocol is fab btw. Come join the tildeverse

TIL about $CDPATH may have to populate that!

Fair play to Microsoft here. Hopefully we see some pull requests from non-ms employees and a better wsl experience for us all

You’ve never had to reason in a test? Problem solve in a test? Design in a test? Sure, some tests are memory tests, but plenty aren’t

Mini vivas for every assignment, yaldi!

Papers are being disrupted. Exams will become more relevant. Can’t use AI with only a pencil and paper

Yeah, my favourite ever laptop. Would love to see the netbook return. Cheap and cheerful. Chromebooks just not the same

For the most part, I agree. But YouTube is full of gold too. Lots of amateurs making content for themselves. And plenty of newspapers are high quality and worth your time to understand the current environment in which we operate. Don’t let them be your only source of news though, social media and newspapers are both guilty of creating information bubbles. Expand, be open, don’t be tribal.

Don’t use AI. Do your own thinking

Given your prompts, maybe you are good at discerning flaws and analysing your own arguments too

Wikipedia isn’t to be referenced for scientific papers, I’m sure we all agree there. But it does do almost exactly what you described. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe has some great further reading links. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology has some great reads too. And for the time short: https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmology which also has Related Pages

I’m still yet to see how AI beats a search engine. And your example hasn’t convinced me either

I’m still sceptical, any chance you could share some prompts which illustrate this concept?

You search for topics and keywords on search engines. It’s a different skill. And from what I see, yields better results. If something is vague also, think quickly first and make it less vague. That goes for life!

And a tool which regurgitates rubbish in a verbose manner isn’t a tool. It’s a toy. Toy’s can spark your curiosity, but you don’t rely on them. Toy’s look pretty, and can teach you things. The lesson is that they aren’t a replacement for anything but lorem ipsum

You do know it can’t reason and literally makes shit up approximately 50% of the time? Be quicker to toss a coin!

I prefer reading. Wikipedia is great. Duck duck go still gives pretty good results with the AI off. YouTube is filled with tutorials too. Cook books pre-AI are plentiful. There’s these things called newspapers that exist, they aren’t like they used to be but there is a choice of which to buy even.

I’ve no idea what a chatbot could help me with. And I think anybody who does need some help on things, could go learn about whatever they need in pretty short order if they wanted. And do a better job.
