It’s hilarious that the greenies who live in dense urban areas have a harder time charging their EV than folks who live in the burbs. I’m thinking of putting in a second EV charger so I can charge two cars at once.
800V to each rackmount unit, with hot plugging of rack units? That's scary. The usual setup at this voltage is that you throw a hulking big switch to cut the power, and that mechanically unlocks the cabinet. But that's not what these people have in mind. They want hot-plugging of individual rackmount units.
GE has a paper about the power conversion design, but it doesn't mention the unit to rack electrical and mechanical interface. Liteon is working on that, but the animation is rather vague.[2] They hint at hot plugging but hand-wave how the disconnects work. Delta offers a few more hints.[3] There's a complex hot-plugging control unit to avoid inrush currents on plug-in and arcing on disconnect. This requires active management of the switching silicon carbide MOSFETs.
There ought to be a mechanical disconnect behind this, so that when someone pulls out a rackmount unit, a shutter drops behind it to protect people from 800V. All these papers are kind of hand-wavey about how the electrical safety works.
Plus, all this is liquid-cooled, and that has to hot-plug, too.

"Brushless DC motors" are actually just AC synchronous motors.
DC is also much harder to switch than AC; the latter has zero-crossings which tend to extinguish any arcs that form, but DC will just keep going. Look at the DC vs AC ratings on switches and you'll see a huge difference.

If you steal from the young for pensioners, you eventually run out of young people to pay for pensioners.
Not going to happen. For the same reason that the US never converted to a higher domestic voltage even though there are many practical advantages. The transition from one system to another at the consumer level would be terrible, even if there would be some advantage (and I'm not sure the one you list is even valid, you'd get DC-DC converters instead because your consumers typically use a lower voltage than the house distribution network powering your sockets) it would be offset by the cost of maintaining two systems side by side for decades.
You could wire your house for 12, 24 or 48V DC tomorrow and some off-grid dwellers have done just that. But since inverters have become cheap enough such installations are becoming more and more rare. The only place where you still see that is in cars, trucks and vessels.
And if you thought cooking water in a camper on an inverter is tricky wait until you start running things like washing machines and other large appliances off low voltage DC. You'll be using massive cables the cost of which will outweigh any savings.
This older model has a micro-USB port that can be used with wired ethernet.

My experience with AI image generation is similar, although with a higher success rate (depending on how accurate you want the result to be); but indeed, filtering is a major part of the process.

Neat. Congrats on launching two interesting projects and looking forward to the third.
HVDC is a miracle of modern engineering that could not have been done in the days of Tesla. It removes several sources of losses that otherwise would have turned valuable power into heat. That said, it isn't without drawbacks: the cables are quite expensive, harder to repair and somewhat fragile, and 'local stepdown' which otherwise would just be a properly rated (capacity and insulation) transformer now turns into a much higher technology exercise. HVDC is for now relegated to a long haul role not unlike oil pipelines compared to the AC network which is far more interconnected and wide spread. You are unlikely to see HVDC used for lower level distribution in the next decade, just as you are unlikely to see your local gas station hooked up to an oil pipeline.
That's not why they got this.

The OP didn't go "the old way". They made it even more about "hassle-free simplicity", with a digital Fuji that shoots great out-of-the-box colors that they don't correct.
That said, the problem with the "hassle-free simplicity and dependability of digital photography" is that it cheapens everything and takes the fun and skill out of it.

Msot do, but Anthropic indicates that theirs is "is not considered a long-term or production-ready solution for most use cases" [0]; in any case, where the OpenAI-compatible API isn't the native API, both for cloud vendors other than OpenAI and for self-hosting software, the OpenAI-compatible API is often limited, both because the native API offers features that don't map to the OpenAI API (which a wrapper that presents an OpenAI-compatible API is not going to solve) and because the vendor often lags in implementing support for features in the OpenAI-compatible API—including things like new OpenAI endpoints that may support features that the native API already supports (e.g., adding support for chat completions when completions were the norm, or responses when chat completions were.) A wrapper that used the native API and did its own mapping to OpenAI could, in principle, address that.

I've always suspected video-gen is basically a loss leader for OpenAI, Gemini, and Grok. They can't convince the general population that AI is world-changing trillion dollar tech with "vibe coding", but realistic fake videos are impressive at a glance, and might convince many non-technical people that AI/LLMs are something revolutionary.
It may very well be the future, but in the present OpenAI has to make money.
Happy to see it, but if a fine is the only consequence then they’re going to go back to doing the exact same thing tomorrow.
For years now people have been saying Anthropic is falling behind because they don't have an image or video generation model. Turns out it was the right decision all along.
Could you provide an example of such a thing that is prevented?
And this is even worse than with computers where you can, with some training, remove Windows and install a less user-hostile operating system. With a TV, while sometimes possible, most people are not sufficiently proficient in tge dark arts required to get rid of the native OS or to subvert it to your will against the wishes of its corporate master.
Given previous Apple adventures on the server room, not sure if I would bet on this staying around.

When I first started encoding MP3s I used a 128kbps rate which is noticeably inferior to the original CD. I noticed this in the early 2000s when I would up listening to a CD of some music I usually listened to as a 128kbps MP3 and was blown away with how much more I heard.
I'd say that 192kbps is much better and the 320kbps that the author advocates is basically transparent.
The relay they're using is quite likely to fail. It's a no-brand imitation of a relay where the real one is only rated for 10^5 cycles driving an inductive load.[1] Also, they needed a DPDT relay, which they are emulating using two SPDT relays operated together. If the software ever operates only one of them, the door will remain locked regardless of what the entryphone box does. Also, no fuse or snubbing. There's a whole industry of really crappy control relays from China, especially on the solid state relay side.
A useful device to know about is the Relay In A Box line.[2] This is exactly what it says - a relay in a box, for when you need to switch power with a low-voltage control signal. UL and CE approvals, fits standard electrical conduit fittings, and will pass code inspection. Rated for 10 million cycles. Boring, but useful.

I'm at a loss as to how some of these projects got funded in the first place. Anyone funding these should have had the perspective to see that there isn't enough power for them. Anyone funding them should have had the perspective to see that by the time power could come online for even a significant fraction of them, the depreciation and interest costs should have murdered the company trying to do it, especially if their solution to that problem is the oh-so-21st century solution of "solving" the problem of losing money by levering up. It does no good to go out of business entirely in 2027 to make the phat buxx in 2030, which seems to be the best case scenario for this space as a whole.
The other question I have is... who exactly is doing all of 1. Using AI right now 2. Making substantial money on it or getting real value and 3. Capacity constrained? Who is actually going to productively soak up all this capacity? It seems to me that bringing all this stuff online can't really make things much cheaper than they are now because the fixed costs aren't going anywhere, and if anything, trying to jam so many projects through all at once just raises those fixed costs even higher. It's not like they triple data center capacity (and increasing AI capacity by, what, 10x? 20x?), stick them full of AI systems, and into that 10x+ greater AI capacity they can sell it at the prices they are now. Higher capacity would crash the selling price but the costs would be as high or higher than now.
I am at a complete loss as to how the numbers are supposed to work here. You can't build a company in 2026 on the economy and tech infrastructure of 2036 anymore than it worked to build a company in 1999 on the economy and tech infrastructure of 2019, no matter how rosy the numbers look on the projections based on conveniently ignoring the fact the company passes through "death" in a year and half. Everything promised in 1999 happened, but trying to artificially accelerate it onto Wall Street's time line burned money by the billions. I'm sure 2036 will have lots of AI in it, but you can't just spend money to bring it forward 10 years by sheer force of will. It has to happen at its own pace.

In enterprise software there is an eternal discussion of "buy vs build" and most organizations go through a cycle of:
-- we had a terrible time building something so now we're only going to buy things
-- we had a terrible time buying something so now we're only going to build things
-- repeat...
Either way you can have a brilliant success and either way you fail abjectly, usually you succeed at most but not all of the goals and it is late and over budget.
If you build you take the risks of building something that doesn't exist and may never exist.
If you buy you have to pay for a lot of structure that pushes risks around in space and time. The vendor people needs marketing people not to figure out what you need, but what customers need in the abstract. Sales people are needed to help you match up your perception of what you need with the reality of the product. All those folks are expensive, not just because of their salaries but because a pretty good chunk of a salesperson's time is burned up on sales that don't go through, sales that take 10x as long they really should because there are too many people in the room, etc.
When I was envisioning an enterprise product in the early 2010s for instance I got all hung up on the deployment model -- we figured some customers would insist on everything being on-premise, some would want to host in their own AWS/Azure/GCP and others would be happy if we did it all for them. We found the phrase "hybrid cloud" would cause their eyes to glaze over and maybe they were right because in five years this became a synonym for Kubernetes. Building our demos we just built things that were easy for us to deploy and the same would be true for anything people build in house.
To some extent I think AI does push the line towards build.

There was an AskHistorians post about the French revolution a few years ago that really stuck with me:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/w18qt5/what_...
> Stability had hardly been a hallmark of the Revolution til that point, and really what we have seen is a revolving door of men rising to the summit of power, only to realize that once your head is above the rest it's a prime target for the guillotine. Of the early years of the Revolution, virtually any man who had been considered a leader was either dead or in exile. The King was executed in January of 1793. The Girondin, formerly indistinguishable from the 'left,' went en masse to the guillotine in October 1793. Danton & friends (dubbed by Robespierre 'the indulgents'), the literal authors of the Insurrection of August 10th which overthrew the King and declared the Republic, the 'giant of the Revolution,' had been executed in April 1794. Interspersed with these prominent deaths were hundreds of individuals who had been important players in the Revolution, whether in national or local politics, and who had now paid the price for their notoriety
In times of crisis and scarcity, the usual outcome is that anyone whose ego is big enough to think that he can lead or profit finds that they become a target for elimination. The folks who survive are the ones who focus on, well, surviving. We're headed for one of those times of crisis now, though most people don't want to admit it, and a lot of the people who are profiting off ill-gotten gains now may find that they don't live to enjoy it simply because it gives them a taste for profiteering that eventually makes them take stupid risks.

Me, and photo editor tool to semi-automate a task of digitizing a few dozen badly scanned old physical photos for a family photo book. Needed something that could auto-straighen and auto-crop the photos with ability to quickly make manual adjustments, Gemini single-shotted me a working app that, after few minutes of back-and-forth as I used it and complained about the process, gained full four-point cropping (arbitrary lines) with snapping to lines detected in image content for minute adjustments.
Before that, it single-shot an app for me where I can copy-paste a table (or a subsection of it) from Excel and print it out perfectly aligned on label sticker paper; it does instantly what used to take me an hour each time, when I had to fight Microsoft Word (mail merge) and my Canon printer's settings to get the text properly aligned on labels, and not cut off because something along the way decided to scale content or add margins or such.
Neither of these tools is immediately usable for others. They're not meant to, and that's fine.
It is incredibly easy now to get an idea to the prototype stage, but making it production-ready still needs boring old software engineering skills.

> The line that’s blacked out of such an image is filled in by averaging the readouts from pixels in the columns adjacent to it
I am not sure this would be a feature for a precision instrument. I don’t care about pretty pictures, but I do want that all data I receive is from actual measurements I can trust. A researcher can average columns of pixels later for the press release, but the paper should only count the actual measured ones.
The primary alternatives are:
One, you don't need this. The vast majority of people working on the web are now so thoroughly overserved by their frameworks, especially the way that benchmarks like this measured only the minimal overhead the frameworks could impose, that measuring your framework on how many nanoseconds per request it consumes (I think time per request is a more sensible measure than request per time) is quintessential premature optimization. All consulting a table like this does for the vast majority of people is pessimize their framework choices by slanting them in the direction of taking speed over features when in fact they are better served by taking features over speed.
Two, you are performance bound, in which case, these benchmarks still don't help very much, because you really just have to stub out your performance and run benchmarks yourself, because you need to holistically analyze the performance of your framework, with your database, with any other APIs or libraries you use, to know what is going to be the globally best solution. Granted, not starting with a framework that struggles to attain 100 requests per second can help, but if you're in this position and you can't identify that sort of thing within minutes of scanning their documentation you're boned anyhow. They're not really that common anymore.
This sort of benchmark ranges from "just barely positive" value to a significant hazard of being substantially negative if you aren't very, very careful how you use the information.
Framework qua framework choice doesn't matter much anymore. It's dominated by so, so many other considerations, as long as you don't take the real stinkers.
