TIL, thanks for the link!

Is there a phrase or term that describes this type of argument?

Where instead of addressing the problem or considering it the answer is "Just leave" or "Just stop using it"...etc

It's a form of dismissiveness, but I'm sure there's a name for it.

Sure they do all they need to do is a bit a regulatory capture and free electricity for them means more profits while you continue to pay the same or higher prices.

How does it incentivize it?

The problem with energy storage isn't a lack of incentives, it's a lack of solutions. There are currently no proven, grid scale, economical, and robust energy storage solutions.

There are lots of storage solutions that work within limited geographical areas (ie. Pumped hydro). But past that it's a crap shoot.

Batteries are absolutely nowhere near the capacity or longevity needed for grid scale storage.

The largest battery storage system in the world is primarily used for grid leveling and emergency power. And would be depleted in minutes under its maximum load.

That's a global problem unfortunately.

We do not yet have effective and economical means of storing energy in grid scale quantities that are readily deployable near where that power is consumed.

It's a huge problem actually, the biggest one facing renewables like solar.

Good to see that Lemmy is becoming as toxic A wasteland as Reddit ever was.

  • Armchairing ✅
  • Personal attacks instead of attacking the arguments ✅
  • Silent downvotes instead of actual discussion ✅
  • Misrepresenting an anecdote ✅

All I did was provide an anecdote to show how easy it is to lose a round of ammunition. No one is strictly inventorying their .22 ammunition, it literally comes in boxes of loose rounds. Holes in the corners easily cause some to be misplaced during transportation. It's not common but it happens, and when it does you're not going to know, because, again, no one is inventorying their loose rounds.

Despite me calling out the armchair opinion, you decide that doubling down on the armchairness was more appropriate, and used an anecdote as a way to personally attack me, instead of my argument.

You made no attempt to actually address the point I was making, and instead took the easy route which is just personal attacks...

You can do better than that.

Do the productions actually have this in place?

I'm curious how you simulate recoil without firing a blank 🤔

[–] douglasg14b 20 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Wait, maybe I'm not up to speed on the details here. But are you not pointing guns with blanks at people in movies....?

It's not the entire point of Cinema in that you are simulating, faking, an actual interaction?

[–] douglasg14b 1 points 9 months ago

Ok...

So your point is that a bad logging implementation is bad. And I agree.

I'm not seeing how that's extendable to implementations as a whole. You're conflating your bad experience with "log aggregation is bad'.

Just because your company sucks at this doesn't mean everyone else's does.

Yeah, ofc it is.

I'm working in a system that generates 750 MILLION non-debug log messages a day (And this isn't even as many as others).

Good luck grepping that, or making heads or tails of what you need.

We put a lot of work into making the process of digging through logs easier. The absolute minimum we can do it dump it into elastic so it's available in Kibana.

Similarly, in a K8 env you need to get logs off of your pods, ASAP, because pods are transient, disposable. There is no guarantee that a particular pod will live long enough to have introspectable logs on that particular instance (of course there is some log aggregation available in your environment that you could grep. But they actually usefulness of it is questionable especially if you don't know what you need to grep for).

These are dozens, hundreds, more problems that crop up as you scale the number of systems and people working on those systems.

Mozilla actually had a project for that: https://memorycache.ai//

They just suck at naming things, and unfortunately it's not getting much of the necessary dev time it needs to get out of the POC stage.

The biggest thing I want is local only models that use my activity & browsing history as a way for me to recall or contextualize events and information.

Why the no?

It's local only, and actually used to improve the product as opposed to being another shitty chatbot.

This is how it should be done.
