Probably, but it needs to happen. Even this stupid comment belongs to me. If you respond, that belongs to you.

I’m classically trained in machine learning. There’s not much different from what we did when I first started my career and now except for the quantity of data and the computing power that gpus have gotten us.

Hal 9000 from 1968 worked on a neural network. I’ve had to explain that a number of times.

That article is too shit to extract any “real” information from, but gas stations are a very logical place to install electric “gas stations”.

It doesn’t matter. Even the training process makes it pretty much impossible to tell these things apart.

And if we do find a way to distinguish, we’ll immediately incorporate that into the model design in a GAN like manner, and we’ll soon be unable to distinguish again.

It almost certainly has some gan-like pieces.

Gans are part of the NN toolbox, like cnns and rnns and such.

Basically all commercial algorithms (not just nns, everything) are what I like to call “hybrid” methods, which means keep throwing different tools at it until things work well enough.

It’s hard to do the math with low uncertainty, but it is likely still less carbon intensive to burn coal too charge EVs than to use ICEs.

Even with transmission and storage losses.

The reason for this is that the turbines in a power plant are operating very near to the peak possible thermodynamic efficiency (something like 60%).

ICEs operate at a much lower efficiency than that.

(Pillow over the face)

Ssshhh. It’ll be over soon.

This is literally how a GAN (generative adversarial network) works.

Why the hell are people down voting you?

This is absolutely correct. We need to do the science. Always. Doesn’t matter what the theory says. Doesn’t matter that our guess is probably correct.

Plus, all these studies tell us much more than just the conclusion.

These major company C-levels always seem so un business savvy. It’s like they don’t teach this shit in b school, and they are not the geniuses they all claim to be.

If you don’t eat your own dog food, how can you convince anyone else to eat it?

Your business will die (by which I mean become both mediocre and more replaceable) if you say your solution is not good enough to replace in office work.

They were just one player player of many until their solution struck oil during the pandemic. (It still has been the best solution I’ve experienced. Teams fucking sucks and is buggy as shit. I wonder what happened to webex?)
