3 days agofor coding you want to use claude
if you don’t want to pay for claude after so many messages what you can do is use mistral to code it up then use claude to proof check the code

Better murder another human being then?! That’s a foolproof plan
To me just easier to walk away with half than literally murder someone
I don’t think I’ll ever get it
I don’t want to spend an hour on tasks that would normally take 10 minutes.
I don’t get it, do you think she spent an hour talking to ChatGPT to try and get it to order doughnuts?
i’ll never understand what is going through these guys minds when they can just get up and leave
it makes no sense to me
Why are you using grok4?
They will say something like solar went from 600gw to 1000 thats a 66% increase this year and coal only increased 40% except coal is 3600gw to 6400.
Hrmmmm, maybe these numbers are outdated? Based on this coal and gas are down:
In Q1 2025, solar generation rose 48% compared to the same period in 2024. Solar power reached 254 TWh, making up 10% of total electricity. This was the largest increase among all clean energy sources.
Coal-fired electricity dropped by 4%, falling to 1,421 TWh.
Gas-fired power also went down by 4%, reaching 67 TWh

are no where close to what is required to meet their climate goals
Which ones in particular are you talking about?
Trump signs executive order directing US withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement — again
https://apnews.com/article/trump-paris-agreement-climate-change-788907bb89fe307a964be757313cdfb0
China vowed on Tuesday to continue participating in two cornerstone multinational arrangements – the World Health Organization and Paris climate accord – after newly sworn-in US President Donald Trump ordered withdrawals from them.
What’s that saying? You hate it when the person you hate is doing good? I can’t remember what it is
I can’t fault them for what they’re doing at the moment, even if they are run by an evil dictatorship and do pollute the most
I’m not sure how european defense spending is relevant
It suggests there is money available in the bank to fund solar/wind/battery, but instead they are preparing for? something? what? who knows. France can make a fighter jet at home but not solar panels apparently.
Prehaps they would be made in a country with environmental and labour laws if governments legislated properly to prevent companies outsourcing manufacturing. However this doesnt absolve china. China isnt being forced at Gunpoint to produce these goods with low labour regulation and low environmental regulation.
You’re right, it doesn’t absolve china, and I avoid purchasing things from them wherever possible, my solar panels and EV were made in South Korea, my home battery was made in Germany, there are only a few things in my house made in China, most of them I got second hand but unfortunately there is no escaping the giant of manufacturing.
With that said it’s one thing for me to sit here and tut tut at China, but I realise I am not most people, the most clearest example is the extreme anti-ai, anti-billionaire bias on this platform, in real life most people don’t give a fuck, they love Amazon/Microsoft/Google/Apple etc, they can’t go a day without them.
So I consider myself a realist, if you want people to buy your stuff then you will need to make the conditions possible for them to WANT to buy your stuff, not out of some moral lecture and Europe isn’t doing that, if we look at energy prices:
Can someone actually point out to me where this comes from? … At the end of the day energy is a small % of EU household spending
I was looking at corporate/business energy use:
Major European companies are already moving to cut costs and retain their competitive edge.
For example, Thyssenkrupp, Germany’s largest steelmaker, said on Monday it would slash 11,000 jobs in its steel division by 2030, in a major corporate reshuffle.
Prices have since fallen but are still high compared to other countries.
A poll by Germany’s DIHK Chambers of Industry and Commerce of around 3,300 companies showed that 37% were considering cutting production or moving abroad, up from 31% last year and 16% in 2022.
For energy-intensive industrial firms some 45% of companies were mulling slashing output or relocation, the survey showed.
“The trust of the German economy in energy policy is severely damaged,” Achim Dercks, DIHK deputy chief executive said, adding that the government had not succeeded in providing companies with a perspective for reliable and affordable energy supply.
I’ve seen nothing to suggest energy prices in the EU are SO cheap that it’s worth moving manufacturing TO Europe, and this is what annoys me the most.
I’ve pointed this out before but they have an excellent report on the issues:
Then they put out this Competitive Compass:
https://commission.europa.eu/topics/eu-competitiveness/competitiveness-compass_en
But tbh every week in the EU it seems like they are chasing after some other goal.
This would be great, it would have been greater 10 years ago.
Agreed
China also continues to increase coal generation by more than renewables.
I don’t believe this:
https://ember-energy.org/countries-and-regions/china/
In 2024, China approved 66.7GW of new coal-fired capacity, started construction on 94.5GW of coal power projects
Even if you add these 2 together and pretend they were finished the same year it’s not even close to:
China’s renewable energy sector made remarkable progress in 2024, adding 356 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar capacity
They have missed every single renewable target and goal they’re set.
I don’t believe this is true either unless you are referring to some other targets?
In 2020, China set a goal to install at least 1,200 gigawatts (GW) of solar and wind power by 2030. By the end of 2024, China had already surpassed this target, reaching this milestone 6 years ahead of schedule. This was made possible by aggressive investments, government policies, and a surge in solar and wind installations.
China’s solar capacity grew by an incredible 45.2% in 2024, adding 277 GW. Wind capacity also saw a strong increase of 18%, with an additional 80 GW installed. Overall, total power generation capacity rose by 14.6% in 2024, driven mainly by renewables.
China is only %27 renewables while the EU is 47%.
Don’t worry, just like everything else I’m sure that will flip in the future
Europe has plenty of money apparently to suddenly:
NATO leaders on Wednesday confirmed their commitment to more than double defence spending by 2035 banding words like “crucial”, “momentous” and “quantum leap”
Just why does it take an emergency to make some proper progress:
Global energy storage owner-operator BW ESS and Spanish energy storage developer Ibersun say a new joint venture is intended to build eight four-hour battery projects across the country, with a combined capacity of 2.2 GW, 8.8 GWh.
Where will the batteries be made I wonder?
On top of this energy prices in the EU are ridiculous and for some reason they still can’t get off the gas, which leads to an unreal point of France giving more money to Russia for gas than in aid to Ukraine, so they have high energy prices and they’re funding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and their companies and manufacturing are leaving them… to go to China…

But I appreciate your scepticism (I gave your post an upvote because China does sometimes get a little bit too much credit), they are the worlds top producer of CO2 by FAR but I do want to address
Greenwashing
This is something I’ve wanted for a while:
It requires EU importers to pay a levy corresponding to the embedded carbon emissions in 303 emission-intensive products
I’ve long disliked that places like the EU and the rest of the west can export their dirty manufacturing over to China where companies take advantage of lax or no environmental regulations, it’s a false economy and makes the west look a whole lot greener and cleaner than it would if we were manufacturing what we used back at home

🤔 it was made into fancy graphs by the guy on Bluesky but the data was from ember-energy.org who are well known for supplying renewable stats
5·3 months agoProbably best asking this in https://discuss.online/c/localllama@sh.itjust.works
damnit you got me, i actually did read it afterwards and realised my comment was wrong but then just left it as it has 9 updoots
hell yeah! rest in hell
but tbh it’s not, old people love it
thank you mitch hedberg :P

How does bluesky make money?
Scientists have estimated that the power requirements of data centers in North America increased from 2,688 megawatts at the end of 2022 to 5,341 megawatts at the end of 2023, partly driven by the demands of generative AI
5341 Megawatt = 5.341 Gigawatt
so a 2.6 GW increase, jeez that’s a fair amount
The US set a record by adding 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage making up 84% of new capacity.
Global renewable power capacity increased by 585 GW in a single year
noo the joke was he was supposed to reply

thanks, you’re clearly a genius, these LLM providers should pay you a lot of money to implement this, you’d save them millions 🙄
