You pump the water out of it into a reservaour, than later on when you need to fill it, you let it run back and generate energy.

Water power efficency is about 80-90%

Funny,

first time you will hear about this and last time.

I'm curious how those companies have budget for playing around and why they believe they will be relevant enough to have any impact on daily life for anyone at all?

Not a lot of 'diy' if you just buy latex pre fabs and the only diy was stacking it up together?

There is also a lot missing of 'matress'. Pls don't tell me a matress producer is literaly just stacking up different latex based matts. IKEAs matresses definitly look slighly more complicated.

How is the sleep?

How is the heat/cold behaviour?

Does it smell? Is it breathable?

Does it burn?

I can't help thinking if this is DIY "bed," what is homemade "soup?"

My personal feeling is that just stacking 4 things together is not DIY while deciding on the ingrediants, buying them, preparing them and than cooking it, is a lot more effort.

It would feel more DIY if the blog post would answer questsions like how the sleep quality is, what/if experiments were done etc.

Homemade soup: Buy table from IKEA. Put can on table. Open with can opener. Heat in microwave. Eat back on DIY table.

i'll bring the pot, the fire, and the rock

the rest is up to you :)

of course they do when you actually got hired at google.

Even if you only interned at google, people will notice.

I know and have unlocked consoles. I emulated.

I just don't care for it anymore. I have enough money and don't play that many games anymore that i care.

Steam just works, syncs my saves, has mod support.

Switch you buy at the beginning because the price doesn't change. Than i have the console for years. The games i buy physically and either sell it on ebay (when i sell stuff in bulk) or give it to family.

And my extended family knows more or less that i could 'provide' them with every game they want, no one asks me about it. No one cares apparently as a normal consumer either.

Thats how Amazon made Aurora. Move all state onto the object storage layer which is also at the end of processing (you go through the lb, than frontend, than backend, than database and land on disk).

Stateless is basically moving everything to the back.

Im pretty sure google is doing the same thing/started with it.

Also this makes it 'easily' scalable horizontal: As soon as you are able to abstract on object level, you can scale your underlying infrastructure to just handle 'objects'.

There is one thing the companies might not get but i got: I know now how it is to work remote and no i will not go back to the old.

I'm now also willing to accept less money for remote only than before and i also thinking of taking my current money and doing an exit faster if the industry doesn't like that and i will just accept a 'lost' of luxury but i do want to look at nature when i have to work (like your lake side office).

While i do believe that LLMs are much faster in becoming better due to their nature of just being software, i do think that GPT 3 broke the investment barriere due to people just understanding/getting it.

With Robots, i also think this is just another demonstration which shows more in what direction it is going than we had bevor. Teslas fake Robot demonstration helps here too.

I personally think we are at the start of the robot exponentail curve and i bet i will see a useful working robot in the next 10-20 years.

And the usefulness of a robot can be achieved a lot sooner now tx to the AI progress / investment. alone Wishper pushed boundaries a lot. Never seen something free with such a good audio to text quality.

If a robot is able to understand "bring this blocks to the top of the building" and will be able to act on it, boom.

We are also seeing a lot of progress in similiar fields like game character movement, training physical worlds in virtual simulation (a lot of progress of nvidia and digital twins).

Thats why i think that AI/LLMs etc. are a gamechanger: Not because they can generate text (which is impressive by itself) but because they are very very good in translating human wishes into computer interfaces.

Hi robot, here is my kitchen. Here are dishes etc.

Or they are just Man who never had friends or family telling them when they did something weird, and instead of starting to selfreflect, they got frustrated and angry and are now stuck in a circle.

Without being high on neuroticism etc.

And than they became stuck

Or they have borderline personality disorder and don't realise they're manipulating and hurting people :/

EDIT: So just to clarify since I think there's a disconnect between what I was saying and what people are hearing, I was talking about myself here. And I am a dude. People are complicated and our brains can go into a tailspin for lots of reasons. Like k8s only less complex and with less YAML.

It would be interesting to learn more about what type of people become incels

I do belive that most are 'just' normal humans who haven't gotten the proper feedback system in their lives which also implies that the incel crisis is not necessarily a mental health issue but a social issue.

It doesnt' make it easier of course if people with borderline personality disorder and others are also affected and potentially also take over those type of groups in a form or push them in particular directions.

> I do belive that most are 'just' normal humans who haven't gotten the proper feedback system in their lives which also implies that the incel crisis is not necessarily a mental health issue but a social issue.

probably both plus a bit of overrepresentation due to (social) media economics

yea, have met a lot of women meeting that definition

Do you assume the same of women who don’t have sex?

I assume that some women who don't have sex suffer from BPD, yes. I can't recall ever thinking that about someone on an individual basis.

Do you think there are also BPD women who do have sex and manipulate others and cause harm?

Do you think there is a difference between men and women in these situations?

Do you want to ask something in particular or is this just a long and annoying questionnaire? :)
