Hell no. 1.5kw is half a socket capacity. A heat pump or many kitchen appliances are using much more. Our car charger uses more as well.

Since rise of AI u haven't touched single line of code. Even though I know AI isn't good enough still in many areas, I cannot find the energy to invest in programming with writing code.

Well esp is wifi baked in the chip. If you want determenstic clock cycles then go for stm32. If you want easy quick setups. Like an interface for a fatbikes, washmachine, dashboard for a car, then go for esp

There are many castles near my parents house in france. I don't see any of them? AI generated?

If you take about optimizing then games are the prime example of doing that. You don't load textures every frame into gpu memory. Tou don't load vertices into memory every frame. Sure they repaint every pixel every frame. But low level your display driver is doing that anyway. The cpu cycles are not in sending the RGB value to each pixel. We are far beyond that bandwidth issue. Recalculating every single position in a css styled document is pretty heavy. There are millions of calculations done to solve flex boxes, floats, percentual widths etc. this example is doing something like that. Super heavy. Super inefficient. Super bad.

A bit of topic , but I wonder if people who are starting in this field not directly start on esp32 platforms. It's so damn easy to develop with AI on these platforms. In the past we spend a week on lcd drivers alone. Now one can build an entire application that controls other devices via serial, has its own fancy UI, has all kind of useless features like 40 languages, its own webserver, OTA, demo modes and more. With Arduino I am not sure what you get these days

So happy that we have finally 2 countries playing the competitive game. No more secret deals between competitors. No real competition. A race to the bottom is always a good thing for consumers.

No. We need objectively around 192 to 512gb of very fast memory to be able to run really useful models. I don't see local hardware with these specs coming in 1 to 2 years. There are a big number of initiatives currently taking place to increase ram output. But it will take another 3 years minimum to close the current supply issues. China is fast pacing forward to have its own chip baking factories with small enough nano scales to have fast chips. Will also take a few years.

It's nowadays so easy to create your own custom esp32 thing. I used to control a home battery installation. Used it on a old Landrover defender where we added a complete dash unit with digital gauges. Used it for controlling a Zigbee 12v switch to activate sprinklers in a garden. In combination with Claude one can create an entire setup in a couple days. Before I was sometimes spending a week on the lcd drivers alone.

Ukraine is not an independent country. The entire culture is practically similar to the Russian one. Yes I have lived in Ukraine (Melitopol) for many years. This whole conflict is 100% caused by the west that tries to put a wig between the two nations. By bribing and buying up assets in Ukraine. Starting from around 2012 when western institutions installing puppets in various places. Government and commercial. Don't tell me this is somekind of crap conspiracy. We all know that the west performed these actions many times before. The west is not clean in this war. 100% responsible for this war, killings and destruction .

Are you serious? Who is killing thousands abroad and playing corrupt mobster mister policeman in the entire world? Or course China is supporting Russia. It's geopolitics. The west needs enlargement of their influence in Ukraine. Russia doesn't like this. A failing Russia means China is next. Hard to understand? And China does have universal affordable healthcare. Maybe, just maybe you should visit one of the large cities in China. You will be surprised how far ahead they are on so many areas. Infrastructure, cultural, government structures, schools, hospitals and more.

Is that all you can find? Pretty empty list. I can probably create a long list of atrocities done by the west last 5 years alone.

China is a communists based country. Everything is organized and for everything there is a plan. Unlike America where it's free for all. We probably would die from unhappiness in China. But it works for them and they are pretty successful in it.

The CCP now has proved a 'better' system than the western 'democracy' that is in many ways at the end of its life.

In the US and Europe its extremely expensive indeed. In China it is much lower and expected to be much lower in the future when China can bake their own high end chips. You know China is focussed on optimizing production and manufacturing. Unlike the west that primarily focus on regulations that make things super expensive.

Enough to see cities

For war it is. Drones and other unmanned aircraft are the future of warfare. That's the whole reason why every country now heavily invests in low orbit sats. It's not about consumers. Also not for spacex. Defence contracts are zillion times more worth. Once you are in you reach the end level as a business.

Russia and China are coming as well. Expect all big countries have hundreds of thousands of low orbit sats. It required in order to be a powerful military nation. Without it a country is doomed.

For every feature prompt I do I have about 2 or 3 maintainance prompts. For example. Check code for smells and dead code. Check modularity of our application logic. Check for possible performance issues. Check for optimizations. Etc etc.

Someone making Putin the image of Russia clearly doesn't understand the country and inhaled to much propoganda. Sorry

I think you underestimate Russia. The current state of the war is still in a gentlemen state. There are so many escalation steps left. From using chemical weapons to empty Odessa to closing the black Sea to let Belarus enter the war to destroy water systems to use bioweapons in all border area to mass invasion to destruction of all Dnjepr bridges to assissination of government personel to destruction of government buildings to sinking of western oil carriers to dropping nuclear bombs on London or Berlin . Really the current war is nothing yet

People talk like Ukraine is the first one doing this. Already in WW2 pilots had similar gamification where proof had to be filmed or with minimum witnesses. It probably goed back even further.

Ukraine / Russia war is not a real war yet. It's a gentleman's war. If parties want to go all in, even without nuclear weapons it would mean a lot of civilian casualties. Millions would die. It's waiting for when this is gonna happen. Only then we know what real war means.

Really the west is currently at the wrong side of history. With the US bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in the last decade. Europe with its hypocrite stance in literally everything. Slowly the west is becoming a much less free place to live than a Russia. And propoganda in the west makes people think they are free. It's bullshit. They are not free. You got more freedom to move around, start businesses, own stuff in China and Russia than in any western European country.

That nazi salute how do you actually know it was ment to show off as a Nazi supporter? I mean who is telling this? Or is that your assumption based on something?

Based on what do you even know the direction of xAI? Because they want to go to space? Or defence contractors? Or nazi salute? Really what is it?

Sure man. Palantir rings a bell? Ohh not relevant right...

Indeed. For me opus 4.8 is good enough. If only it would be 100 times faster. You could run it in self verification loops much much faster. It sometimes takes 15 minutes for me to complete a simple task. For example configuring AWS agentcore and deploying an agent on it. Takes forever with Claude with constant issues it tries to solve.

The US is now getting money from every ship passing the street. How people not see that for the US the world is a game of command and conquer. They rule everything and if it's not ruled it gets bombed.

It's hopeless. Enormous amounts of money is flowing out of Europe into China and the US. Europe has dogshit to offer. You already see it with gdp not growing. Whereas rest of the world did grow. Even Russia has higher GDP growth than Germany. Euro leadership is not smart.
