  • Electricity prices climbing faster than inflation.

  • Yes you can use the ground to cool you, provided you live near the ground. If you live in the eleventh floor on the sun-facing side of an apartment building, it's a little more difficult to use the ground to cool you. There are, of course, other clever passive tricks in building design that would work if we cared to spend the money on them.

    But yes, running a little window unit (I think 750 W is conservative for those things but regardless) during the hottest hours in a small room would be fine for anyone in terms of survival.

  • Good point. It's not profitable to build passively cooled housing. But it's essential that we do. That doesn't get you all the way to temperatures that won't kill anybody, but it does mean you go from using 1500 W on average to something much less, and for MOST people, it might even be enough on its own.

  • How could humans ever have survived in the days before circa 1950

    Some literally didn't. You see this every time there's a heat wave, the elderly and other vulnerable people literally fucking die.

  • It is not a cost to them. It is the point.

  • Lolbertarians think they know trains better than communists

    Jump

  • Like talking to an LLM. "You're absolutely right! Here's a model that works, fixing the mistakes of the previous one."

  • If people like a product more than another, they signal this by... consuming more of it. There is no other feedback with the grocery store. The only thing that grocery store can measure on the consumer side is the rate of consumption.

    This, of course, is completely unlike a planned economy, because in that case, the only thing a distributor can measure is rate of consumption! /s

  • Most zoomers are adults. 96 to 2010 means only the youngest zoomers are minors. In 3 years, every zoomer will be a legal adult.

  • TIL the United States has 94 nuclear power plants.

    Jump

  • Well, a nuclear power plant typically has at least one reactor.

    Being less of an ass, yes, you're right, there's also reactors not part of a public electricity generating station. Mostly military, but some for training.

  • Cyclist injuries dropped by half after “hated” cycle lane installed, but mayor still claims scrapped lane largely used as “bike run” for drug dealers to “get through traffic"

    Jump

  • Cyclists are typically more likely to stop at a business because it's just easier. In many cases bike lanes bring business, for the right kinds of businesses.

  • To a degree, paying off loans in full actually reduces your credit score. Credit score is purely a score of how juicy you are to lendors. Lendors don't like people who pay off loans in full because that means you're not paying them anymore.

    To increase your credit score, take on more debt that you can pay off and pay it dutifully every month.

  • People have called NPCs in video games "AI" for like, decades.

  • LLM Inflation

  • TL;DR The author coins LLM inflation to describe when text is created in bullet points, fleshed out into paragraphs by an LLM, and then summarized for the reader back into bullet points using an LLM.
