As I understand it, the efficiency of a wind turbine increases with blade size, so multiple smaller personal wind turbines are less efficient than fewer, larger turbines that serve a neighbourhood, as well as costing much more and using more overall resources.

In a co-operative the shareholders are employees and associated members, and they elect the board.

Not that Unity is a co-operative, but there is another way.

Honestly the one killer use case for AI is to transcribe how-to YouTube videos into a static web page with thumbnail images.

It’s an entirely intentional deception. People get the fear that they’ll not be able to pass on their 3-bed semi-detached*, a dinner table set and the last dregs of a private pension to their kids, so they vote so that rich people don’t have to redistribute wealth.

The costs are high. Finance regulations force the banks to investigate high-profile clients for any conflicts of interest or reasons where a bank may be facilitating something illegal or sanctioned. It is literally illegal for the bank not to perform these checks. They can’t just put on blinkers and claim ignorance.

It would be at least negligent to shareholders, and possibly outright illegal, not to act on that information if there were significant risk.

Brown coal output 12.2021: 10100 GWh Black coal output 12.2021: 5391 GWh

Of course comparing August 2021 - August 2023 there’s less of a difference, but still a noticeable drop.

I think it’s making sure that they can’t record their voice in a single session and have it synthesised forevermore.

It doesn’t make sense to think of it in terms of how much of the Sun’s energy it uses because solar energy is essentially free and unlimited, it comes from an outside system, we don’t need to mine it or carry it or anything and we can’t ‘waste’ it in the same way we can other fuels. All it tells us is the maximum theoretical limit.

10% more energy from solar means a rooftop array could generate an extra 300-500W which is a genuinely useful amount of energy.
