If you are really a farmer then I would expect you to have more sense than defending all the people who drive to their office job in their massive trucks.

Yes people on farms need big vehicles. We're not talking about them.

The hallucinations from an LLM are still the result of the prompt even if they are totally senseless

Actually Uber drivers will do things even if you don't ask them.

Your attempt at logic is very wrong.

Correlation and causation...

I think there might be multiple groups in play there

Not really equivalent because physics can model the difference between "in water" and vacuum quite well. Definitely far better than biologists understand mice and humans

I have that question as well!

How can something travel faster than light?

Answer: Light slows down when going through water or air or gas. It's only in a vacuum that light travels at 'c' (from Einstein's equation). And it's that speed c that is a limit due to relativity.

But the exciting thing is that when you're not in a vacuum particles can be traveling faster than the local speed of light (maybe 75% c). And that process of a particle zipping along gives off Cherenkov radiation.

I think of it as the light equivalent of a supersonic shockwave and sonic boom. Faster than sound gives noise. Faster than light gives light (or other electro magnetic radiation)

(People with more knowledge might say the sonic boom analogy is very inaccurate but not sure)

I'm going to disagree with you although I'm not an expert so you might be right.

My understanding is that there are large savings available theoretically at the grid level but the capital to build it is limited and the grid interconnects to make it work are limited.

So globally there are huge amounts of battery storage being added to the grid but this is bottlenecked by capital and grid connections. Oh and land/planning permissions.

Long story short, house level battery storage may be worth it for some people

I guess it depends on how cheaply you can get your batteries and how you charge yourself for the space they take up.

As electric cars become more popular, we should see a deep market for second-hand batteries?

Trends for new refrigerant depends on country... some to R-454B, and some to Propane, doesn't seem like C02 is very common which is a pity because I love the idea of a non-toxic non-flammable super cheap refrigerant.

This is for the Japanese market so perhaps the cons of the C02 systems are outweighed by the safety aspects.

Potpourri is an excellent word to describe LLM output

I love that description. It matches very well what I feel about LLM output. This overly sweet scented smell meant to cover up something nasty, with a strong artificial tint to it.

Which doesn't say that much about the LLM itself but about the people that make the training material.
