Asking the right questions.

I'm not sure if you live in the UK? The country uses a huge amount of LNG for electricity and heavy industry.

If suddenly there's not enough LNG to go around, there will likely be rolling blackouts. So much more of an issue than no heat.

Same here.

I mean, it was the flagship starship of the fleet. So yeah, it better be staffed with competent people like that.

Gemini 2.5 flash was amazing via the API for a lot of use cases. Great blend of fast, accurate, and cheap.

I wonder how much medium- to long-term storage has been installed this year. Batteries are fantastic, but we need better ways to store excess wind and solar for dark winter days when there's no sun or wind.

I'm not a big fan of their trend of talking about a new model and not releasing it for a while.

I feel like there is a big misunderstanding here. In my house, we've been doing a lot of light "prepping" lately. Not for the apocalypse, but for simple emergency situations for a few days to a week.

The UK government has been pushing hard for the public to stock enough food and water for at least 3 days. We have weeks of supplies.

My huge worry is that the country will run out of LNG due to the ongoing war in Iran, Qatar being offline, and Europe not having enough LNG in storage. Plus, a lot of weird weather due to El Niño.

Is an emergency LLM really going to make a difference? Probably not, but I have one on my desktop computer anyways.

I recently upgraded to Golden Gate, and that helped a bit, but it still feels sluggish.

Interesting. I have the same machine w/ same specs. I find it sluggish. I think it depends on what you're doing.

My hot take is that we're headed to an economic freefall and/or depression. They're trying to get ahead of it.

I didn't make this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It already _is_ a rough decade. I have hated the 20s so damn much.
