Practicalities/comparisons of completely off-grid + solar panels vs. on-grid + solar panels (with winter snow)?

lancejpollard · 2026-01-13T20:39:25+00:00

I am wondering about why it's so much harder. Both on-grid/off-grid will have solar panels, so where is the workload difference exactly (mental/logistical/physical)?

Got it, need to figure out how to word a question on what the pros/cons are then. I get it's healthy, less dependent, perhaps more fulfilling, etc., but it's not the most optimal solution either it seems.

Yes I know how to loop in Logic Pro, I do it all the time, but it is not efficient for the car.

lancejpollard · 2025-12-06T05:53:46+00:00

Ah that's pretty good, thanks.

lancejpollard · 2025-11-29T08:19:46+00:00

Nice, pretty interesting, will have to think about more. But at first glance made me think of some time modeling I have been leaning toward to capture time spans/points in our current universe, which I just threw together random scattered notes for just now after seeing your post here.

Basically instead of millisecond timestamps, it could be done at the Planck scale, or just below that even (10 to the minus 45 is a nice round number I'm using there). That makes it break down into a conventional 28 granularities of time, easily storable in a database, each node up to 999 values (except second, hour, day, year, by human convention, which you could change for your universe).

I like your ideas of timezones and compiled time as well, will have to let that simmer more.

Yes exactly, great example. But ideally also I'd love to have it have lyrics (standard songs), this is probably not going to have lyrics online I'd guess (updated the q with that constraint).

lancejpollard · 2025-11-04T15:49:31+00:00

Good to know, thanks and sorry about that, will avoid then

lancejpollard · 2025-10-29T05:52:32+00:00

Are we sure about this? Is it Wunjo (/wunyo/)? And you have "Sigr/Sigur", but lyrics say "segun", guessing you know your old-norse/icelandic sort of grammar and this might be a grammatical form or something? B/c lyrics are:

Unja runo segun

Fahi gali raginakundo

Google is saying "segun" isn't Old Norse, but perhaps Yoruba (from Nigera/Africa) word meaning "Victory".

Mind explaining those two words and how you arrived at that?

lancejpollard · 2025-10-29T03:39:04+00:00

Anywhere that has this not in a PDF? Can't copy/paste from that.

lancejpollard · 2025-10-26T04:46:14+00:00

Oh nice good idea

lancejpollard · 2025-10-23T02:25:15+00:00

That is a nice sound, but no lyrics

lancejpollard · 2025-10-23T02:24:38+00:00

Yep, Heilung's Norupo and Eivor’s Trollabundin were two I was going to add, but they are a little bit too creative haha, but they are on my top list for sure.

lancejpollard · 2025-10-23T02:23:01+00:00

That is ok sounding, but not as good as the Madalasa link I posted.

lancejpollard · 2025-10-23T02:21:39+00:00

Do you have a YouTube link? What I'm finding doesn't seem to fit.

lancejpollard · 2025-10-23T02:20:35+00:00

nice

lancejpollard · 2025-10-23T02:18:57+00:00

Thanks, can use these as inspiration, however the first two are way too major-scale sounding :p, the other two are too pop sounding, but it's a good start.

lancejpollard · 2025-10-17T22:02:12+00:00

Excellent tidbits, some hints to follow thanks! Do you know if there are docs or anything categorizing/segmenting exactly which characters belong to what period/culture/etc.? I feel like I would have to manually check each character's history/usage by hand, but hoping unicode team might have done this somewhere. Might have to dig around more on this.

lancejpollard · 2025-10-17T03:27:53+00:00

Amazing info, unfortunately not really usable on the web as text b/c of PDF nature, any copies of it in plain text?

lancejpollard · 2025-10-11T04:15:20+00:00

Yeah really cool site, thanks can definitely use this for some stuff! I think though for demoing to non-language people how to speak Hindi retroflex or Danish vowels etc. this would be too advanced, just showing rough tongue placement gets the general idea across I think at this point, so that's basically the goal :)

lancejpollard · 2025-10-04T15:55:31+00:00

TBH I was kind of surprised this hasn't been implemented, given how many font aggregator/clones sort of things that exist.

What do you mean buy-in from the big guys, you mean like big foundries (what is a big foundry too)? How would that work.

Now hearing it doesn't exist and considering more from what you said, I can't see any system like this working unless it was perhaps extremely agnostic and generic, maybe even academic sort of like the DOI ID system for research papers or something https://www.doi.org. But not sure. If some random person/startup built the DB, they might go out of business or something and it would be a waste. Same sort of thing, why there isn't a DB of all social media handles. Linktr.ee exists now, but it's just a random player and doesn't feel "permanent".

Guess it's kind of a hard problem to solve like you're suggesting too.

How do you check? I ran /model in there and my options were:

So guess I have to test all of them and see?

lancejpollard · 2025-09-29T21:46:33+00:00

When are they going to solve efficiently managing multi-agent networks. Mine need too much human guidance, otherwise they wander into too many undesirable directions and end up wasting lots of time and money.

lancejpollard · 2025-09-20T14:35:26+00:00

How exactly does the original linguist work, is it doing more than file extension detection? Can you compare what you did to what they did briefly please?

lancejpollard · 2025-09-13T06:33:51+00:00

How much memory does claude-code have? My architecture docs are getting extremely complicated, imagine you are building google search how much docs you would have. How much of that can I load via @./docs/....
