There is. I do it, it’s my job as a solar engineer.

Basically, there are several leading softwares that solar engineers use to account for just about anything that happens in the real world.

I mainly use PVsol premium where I 3d model each site and the panel placements and electrical components and so on, then run a minute scale simulation based on the exact location weather data (using Metronorm 8.3)…

Almost no one outside my field understands what goes into my job. It doesn’t help that there’s a lot of untrained people pretending to do what I do…

Maybe this can help explain it https://youtu.be/FK4RHzNHZXY?si=f8lGXy11J7ID6Sll

Do you know what an analogy is?

I’d say that ComfyUI is superior in most ways (including speed and features), but I know A1111 much better than ComfyUI so I just use ComfyUI when it can do a thing that A1111 can’t

I run a lot of LLMs locally, as well as doing image generation locally with Stable Diffusion.

The most important factor is the GPU. If you’re gonna do AI stuff with your GPU it basically has to be a CUDA GPU. You’ll get the most bang for the buck with a 3090 TI, (amount of VRAM is also important). And get at least 64 GB of RAM.

If you get this you’ll be set for a year until you learn enough to want better hardware.

A lot of people try to buy their way out of a lack of knowledge and skill about these things, don’t do that. I’m able to get better results with 7B models than many get with 70B models.

Get LM Studio for the LLMs and get A1111 (or ComfyUI or Foooocus) for image generation.

How about we both do the calculations and we cancel each others consultant fees?

This is also true for cars, but electric cars are viable even though its the same comparison between energy density. Would you be willing to have this conversation with actual calculations and specified arguments regarding the numbers?

I like trains and I’m not American. You brought up energy density as the factor preventing long haul. Please don’t appeal to authority as the argument but rather state what you think the energy density needs to be and why to make electric long haul viable.

I’m curious what you think the energy density needs to be for it to be viable and why? The way I see it energy density is a very minor factor for this equation but I’m curious to hear your explanation.

I know that’s true in the US, but do you have a source for Europe on that?

Here in Sweden insulin is free. Although we have universal healthcare most medical things cost a little, up to about $230/year then any medication or procedure is free.

Insulin, and related equipment and so on, doesn’t even cost a little for the patient here and is completely free. It does of course cost our government and taxpayers money, our government pays about $0.09 per person per day for insulin.

Is a leading question. And in my experience 95% of people who are focused on “censorship”

1. Don’t know what it really means (there’s a huge difference between moderation and censorship)
2. Have a victim complex.
3. Are generally uncomfortable to engage with and usually deserve their bans for various reasons.

Yeah, same here. I find that the quality of posts, comments and culture is significantly worse here than on reddit but I don’t want to use reddit anymore because of the API stuff.

The ones who disagree just say that “is not clearly visible in the data, yet” for anyone wondering.

If you go by simple physics it’s undeniable that it should be speeding up, there are just too many variations and the dataset is too small for some scientists to want to make such conclusive statements.

In the broad term I very much favour them. But when you actually read up on it a lot, like I have, the broad term loses its meaning and I always wonder what people actually mean by it when they say it.

Article 16.3

The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.

I disagree that the family is the fundamental group unit of society.

Article 25.2

Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.

I feel discriminated that motherhood and not fatherhood are entitled to special care.

There are many variations of human rights declarations. I oppose this one the most: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Declaration_on_Human_Rights_in_Islam

There are also specific articles in the universal declaration of human rights that I think are wrong

Just to take a jab at the US from a European perspective…

You don’t have the right to bear arms in prison? I thought guns were sacred in the US!?

He has no fucking idea of our laws or culture. He can’t squash this but he’s gonna think that he can for a long time which will just cost him more than it needs to cost him.

Sweden isn’t like the US, China or even Germany when it comes to workers rights. In fact I suspect that if he ever truly learned of a fraction of the rights we have his life mission would be to send his rockets at Sweden because we’re such an abomination.

Yeah, worked great so far!
