It's at least somewhat limited in non-English content. It knows how to make lentil soup, so I was happy that I never need to look up recipe sites with awful UX and ads, but then it couldn't find a recipe for "Kalter Hund"/"Kalte Schnauze". So sad ;)
Still, absolutely fabulous. What a time to be alive!
I think the sentiment here is that the short formulation of Kant's categorical imperative is as good and easier to read than the entirety of "types of ethical theory" (J.J. Martineau).
That's in the ballpark of the Heathrow transformer that blew, I think.
I understand they will be not cheap, with tariffs and all, but nothing the Magnificent 7 or Heathrow could not afford.
It seems to me that (as the article points out) that production facilities are pretty old and production COULD be much more automated, and products improved if there was a will.
However, "Now those firms are seeing a rise in demand for transformers alongside the buildout of data centers for AI, but remain unsure if the trend will continue, says Gonzalez Isla. “Transformer companies aren’t going to open new plants only to shut it down after 10 years of business,” she says."
And THAT seems to be the crucial difference here between the transformer industry and, say, NVIDIA.
Standards/regulations that the transformers almost certainly don't meet, produced in factories that don't follow any standards or regulations, and then add in the cost and delay in shipping something like that.
China has the most sophisticated grid in the world, and is spending $100B a year on expanding and upgrading. They have a uniquely high share generated by renewables. It runs 800kV and will go higher after the upgrade. The first Small Modular Reactor will come online this year. If you think that’s all just being built in random factories without standards you’re very much mistaken.
China's energy generation mix is not uniquely high in renewables! Where on earth did you get that idea from? China has about the same % renewable generation as Australia, about 1/3rd. Brazil has 80%, Norway 90%, some have near 100%.
What China does have is a very high carbon emission intensity of electricity generation thanks to over half capacity coming from coal.
I was replying to a comment that brought up renewables. I can be of further assistance to help you follow the chain of comments if you let me know what part you're struggling with exactly.
For me, a great advantage is that this system makes it far simpler to understand the impact of a change, say a multi-pronged bill incl millionaire taxes, energy subsidy changes etc.
