"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sounds like a great area for wind turbines, but those take a while to plan. Solar can be deployed really fast but idk how sunny it is there.

it really is fantastic for wind. solar is not fantastic for tahoe, but it's a decent latitude. mountainous terrain limits the available hours and they get more cloudcover than lower elevations.

It's California mountains so should be pretty sunny

It straddles both states.

The article says the local utility already gets 25% of its electricity from solar panels it owns, but 75% from the provider that’s shutting them off next year…
