Down 6.5% year on year. https://assets.simpleviewcms.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/lasvegas/ES_May2025_ed1142ef-9992-4a32-b44d-5404dba18b8e.pdf

I found it quite a charming show but I haven't watched that many shows with autistic leads to see the tropes. It did seem to be trying to present a sympathetic portrayal.

You have to ignore the obsequious optimism bias LLM's often have. It all comes down to their training set and if they have seen more than you have.

I don't generally use them on projects I'm already familiar with unless it's for fairly boring repetitive work that would be fiddly with search and replace, e.g. extract the common code out of these functions and refactor.

When working with unfamiliar code they can have an edge so if I needed a simple mobile app I'd probably give the LLM a go and then tidy up the code once it's working.

At most I'll give it 2 or 3 attempts to correct the original approach before I walk away and try something else. If it starts making up functions it APIs that don't exist that is usually a sign out didn't know so time to cut your losses and move on.

Their real strengths come in when it comes to digesting large amounts of text and sumerising. Great for saving you reading all the documentation on a project just to try a small thing. But if your going to work on the project going forward your going to want to invest that training data yourself.

Famously shellfish aren't kosher so observant Jews wouldn't eat them. Not sure what the rest of the old testament says about them but given the observance of other rules it seems more of a guideline for Christians.

It is great for unified images, for example if you want a test image for CI.

My octopus rate gives me 15p per kwH I export. The overnight rate is 7p per kwH so it makes sense to export as much as I can and charge the car on cheap rate.

The gap between sunset and cheap rate is about 4-8 kwH so rather than getting a battery my next step is a bi-directional charger so my car can cover the gap.

For Home Assistant? There are several about but this is the one that worked for me.

You need to enable it via the webconsole on the inverter. There is a magic reset sequence that will boot it up as an Access Point and then you connect via WiFi: full instructions

I've got a SolarEdge system but I've enabled the local ModBus to get the data so I don't need to connect to the cloud for it.

No - the inverter needs the 50hz signal from the grid AC to work.

From my recollection of the BTS in the special editions they built a lot of "bigitures".

Well Trump had a go in his first term but unsurprisingly didn't get far.

Are you familiar with the Korean war? There was a massive conflict which got drawn out into a stalemate and everybody agreed a temporary ceasefire was preferable to even more destruction.

Trying to topple a regime that has nothing to lose and a highly indoctrinated population is not an easy ask. We can only hope that like most authoritarian regimes they eventually succumb to the weight of their own opression. It's better than torching the whole continent in the name of freedom.
