  • Is that feasible? It doesn’t have an in-built battery, so it’s not going to be able to deal with the fluctuations in power? Not to mention it won’t operate at night. I’m also not sure what the power requirements are, but the solar panels I can find seem to be between 2 and 6 watts, which doesn’t seem like much, especially when I want it to operate at night time too so even if I added a battery it probably couldn’t provide enough power to cover the night and dark days.

    Electronics running off solar panels seem to need to be designed for it. I’d much prefer a wired in option.

    Also it will be on the roof next to giant ass 400W panels that power the house, so it might feel inadequate 😆

    Local storage on a VPS is expensive, and I’ve never been happy with a lower powered server serving media. Personally I self-host and send a backup to Backblaze B2 for offsite (using Rclone).

    I use Borgmatic for incremental, deduplicated backups but make sure you save your encryption key somewhere you can access it if your house burns down.




  • Consider the implications if ChatGPT started saying “I don’t know” to even 30% of queries – a conservative estimate based on the paper’s analysis of factual uncertainty in training data. Users accustomed to receiving confident answers to virtually any question would likely abandon such systems rapidly.

    I think we would just be more careful with how we used the technology. E.g. don’t autocomplete code if the threshold is not met for reasonable certainty.

    I would argue that it’s more useful having a system that says it doesn’t know half the time than a system that’s confidently wrong half the time
