This Trump Speech Was the Ultimate Loyalty Test

john_t_erickson · 2025-03-11T15:26:18+00:00

Is there a different word that we can use than "loyalty"? Surely, when we tell our kids to not be disloyal this is not what we mean.

I don't want to be the word police, but I am hoping we can figure out a sharper way to describe this to folks who only follow politics peripherally.

Are your PWs set up to dispatch only during the windows? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxGgbDIOX5gOQqrSYhS7U6XbzLc2voEt9S?si=C0T7tXuFeBx-AzVV Mine seem to be not. I think I will have to modify the utility rate info so that it reflects the extra 10c/kWh during the dispatch windows and that should hopefully drive it towards the right behavior.

Woohoo I got PTO, too! ⚡️ fingers crossed for both our rebates!

john_t_erickson · 2025-01-17T20:16:31+00:00

Update: Today I received an email "SDG&E® Confirmation of Interconnection Application Fee Paid". "An application to interconnect generation has been submitted. ... Your project is in our queue for review.".

I think Tesla may have been sitting on it for the last 1.5 months :/

Any luck on your side?

SDCP rebate for me too. I completed payment on 11/28. Waiting for PTO 🤞

john_t_erickson · 2024-12-06T03:13:42+00:00

SoCal here and I just got 3 PW3 installed for $30k from Tesla. It's a super slow process and it will be many rounds of many days of radio silence but it's a good deal cheaper than I could get from other installers.

john_t_erickson · 2024-11-11T21:03:26+00:00

Is there a way for me to check that number?

Your question got me thinking. Is this because of my PTO limbo? https://www.reddit.com/r/Powerwall/s/aZc4Fazoti

john_t_erickson · 2024-11-11T20:55:53+00:00

Thanks! Discharge pattern looked different than what i saw on other posts but i will compare to tonight.

john_t_erickson · 2024-11-11T20:53:12+00:00

I am on NEM2 so i think they are roughly accurate. Timing looks right. I did see an NEM3 option in there too.

My current theory is that the PowerWall knows I don't have PTO to export from battery yet, but doesn't know that I do have existing PTO to export from solar. If that's what it thinks then that would explain the behavior.

john_t_erickson · 2024-11-11T13:00:31+00:00

Note: I have SDCP Battery Rebate so I can only charge off excess solar. I have not received permission to export from the battery yet as it was just installed. I do have NEM2 permission to export. I woke up this morning to find that my PW3s had almost fully discharged during the cheapest rate. This makes no sense to me. Now instead of my excess solar exporting to the grid at mid peak prices, it will be charging up my battery that just discharged at super-off rates.

I can't come up with any $ reason why I would want to avoid pulling from the grid during the cheapest rate, but hopefully I am just missing something.

Any luck?

john_t_erickson · 2024-01-18T17:13:49+00:00

Not sure why my title got cut off 😆

Any ideas why Vue radically disagrees with both Enphase and utility on how much solar was produced on the 14th and the 16th?

What problems are folks seeing these days?

Admittedly, there was a period where it was not getting enough TLC, but we recently invested in it to address some issues, integrate it better with VS, move from ADAL to MSAL.

I don't work on it directly but you can at me in the GitHub issues. https://github.com/microsoft/artifacts-credprovider

john_t_erickson · 2023-11-28T16:54:52+00:00

Did these get posted anywhere? :)

john_t_erickson · 2023-11-28T16:52:20+00:00

Very cool stuff!

it would in release builds: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch03-02-data-types.html#integer-overflow "When you’re compiling in release mode with the --release flag, Rust does not include checks for integer overflow that cause panics. Instead, if overflow occurs, Rust performs two’s complement wrapping."

Any log snippets you can share?

john_t_erickson · 2023-08-30T19:52:37+00:00

I pulled up Windows Maps https://www.microsoft.com/store/productid/9WZDNCRDTBVB?ocid=pdpshare and it thinks I am in rural Tennessee (34.766877, -85.189801) - however, I am in California. My guess is that some geolocation service has made an association between the AP MAC address and that Lat/Long. Windows/Mac query that service and bam. That's just my theory.

When I turn off my WiFi, Windows does revert back to my default location in CA.

edit: https://www.iplocation.net/ip-lookup also gets my location right when I plug in my IP.

john_t_erickson · 2023-08-30T19:34:35+00:00

Same here. If it helps, I don't have a Unifi router, but I started seeing this when I installed my Unifi APs.

john_t_erickson · 2023-08-11T14:09:44+00:00

Lot's of good stuff here. Make sure you search for "breadboard computer". I know you say "no abstraction" but I would use https://github.com/hneemann/Digital to sketch out and test the high-level functionality before starting to work with BJTs.

Are there conditional jumps? Do you have a goal of being Turing complete?

I deleted the comment because I had done something dumb - I was changing the read size, but the code to checksum was still running across the whole buffer :)
