I understand what they are trying to do, but to me it feels like the moment when MongoDB entered the database space, with semi-structured, "flexible" storage format. It has its uses, for prototyping mostly.
But in high-volume, production workloads, giving a structure to the data you extract (what Parseur does through defining the Fields in your Mailbox, basically giving your output data a schema) adds a ton of value, and the larger the dataset, the truer it is.
Usually, you start by defining where you want your data to go, and which structure it should have, before working backwards from here and starting to extract the data. This is the key to automating your document workflow.
There is no mention of the amount of fuel used to transport the fuel in the article. From what I know it’s a tiny fraction: boats are efficient at transporting stuff (slowly)
It happens for every single Anthropic release. Then I try it on real dev and the result is laughably bad. Except in design where it has been doing a decent job for a while. I am not a designer and my bar is pretty low.
Thank you for this answer, it saved me hours of experimenting.
And bonus points for bashing MongoDB, of course. Every single project that I worked on where MongoDB was used, also had MongoDB as the single largest constraint and operations time sink.
Are you building the site from the same json files that are used in the game?
AIs are still computer programs and are not given the resources to render javascript, so they cannot access the game data from the website. And they obviously don't have it in their parameters.
BTW Google Gemini Pro just told me that they know the game but did not know the value.
Actually, it points out that it is a known trap for AI to confidently give a wrong, hallucinated value. Maybe it had already seen this thread and integrated it in their parameters or fine tuning.
I don't know...
Gemini Fast confidently gives me a wrong value. But very quickly!
I'll attach the entire Gemini response as a sub-reply.
After falling in love and hacking away with Claude for a few weeks, I'm now in the hangover phase, and barely using any AI at all.
AI works well to build boilerplate code and solve easy problems, while confidently driving full-speed into the wall as soon as complexity increases.
I also noticed that it makes me subtly lazier and dumber. I started thinking like a manager, at a higher-level, believing I could ignore the details. It turns out I cannot, and details came back to bite me quickly.
So, no AI for me right now, but I'm keeping an eye out for the next gens.
Terragon is amazing. I actually ordered a second laptop to be able to work on several Claude Code PRs at the same time, but with this I don't even need the extra laptop! I've been trying it for 24 hours and it's a nice boost to my productivity, on top of Claude Code's own boost. Yeah!
Solar and wind cannot replace base load power. Especially not in Germany. They have to rely on peaker plants even more, and those are burning gas, emitting CO2. And they built more coal power plant units, like Datteln 4: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datteln_Power_Station
If it’s cooled in an “open cycle”, it means that the water vapor is released in the atmosphere, via these huge aero refrigerators towers. It will eventually fall back down as rain or snow.
Water is not a scarce resource in Germany. Shutting down those plans was an ecological and economical disaster bordering on high treason.
The largest Q-Max-class gas tanker is 345 meters long [1]. Let's say you manage to fit 3 giant Siemens wind turbines on it, with 100m long blades [2]. It's a bit cramped but let's say you have extenders on the side to make room for all 3 of them. And also let's say you found a way to prevent the ship from tipping over when the wind is strong. By deploying floaters on the side or whatever. Not unsurmountable.
Each of those wind turbine has a rated power of 14.7 MW [2]. Let's say that you found a place where the wind blows super strong (but not too strong) and steady all the time. It's possible, since you are a mobile ship, after all. Let's say that you have a way for the ship to keep in the same place despite the strong and steady wind pushing you constantly. Using engines is going to lower your efficiency, so let's say we found another way.
So, now your ship is generating 45MW constantly. According to ChatGPT, this is 32 kg of hydrogen per second, taking hydrolysis losses into account.
Tanker capacity is 18 620 000 kg of liquid hydrogen. It will take 581 000 seconds to fill up. 9697 minutes, 161 hours, or 6.7 days. Much shorter than I thought... Did I miss something?
