Talk about a low bar

Looked up the invoice for you (rounded the numbers for simplicity):

Panels (8x) including micro inverters, all of the mounting hardware, cables etc. - $2500 Hardware for upgrading the electrical panel - $400 Labour, various items, delivery costs - $600

IIRC it was 3 dudes for about half a day. Two dudes for the panels and an electrician that checked what the panel dudes did on the roof and upgraded my electrical panel.

I felt like it was a pretty good deal. Panels could have been cheaper, but I wanted the full black ones. And a single inverter would have been cheaper than micro inverters, but the panels are partly shaded a lot of the time due to a tree. Calculations I did showed the extra price of the micro inverters would be worth it to get the most out of the panels.

Sure that's just the one dude tho. And what does 3 million streams mean? Is that a lot? What platforms? Are those full listens? How many repeat listens? Are those actual humans listening, or just more bots consuming bot content?

I meant how successful are AI music creators in comparison to other average music creators? Like the population of people creating music the traditional way in comparison to people creating music using AI.

I feel the amount of people using AI that have any traction whatsoever is vanishingly small, so a comparison isn't even possible. And I've also known people that are insanely talented making music, who still have to have a job and pay for a lot of their own stuff, never making a dime. Success in the music industry has always only loosely been related to actual talent.

Well yes and no. It's a giant piece of silicon, but it's also exposed to high energy rays all the time. Panels can suffer from water ingress and then crack when it freezes. They are exposed to all sorts of animals, both big and small that can cause damage. Have their top surfaces get more opaque due to normal erosion. Experience huge swings in temperature every day. Those things can either outright break the panel, or slowly make it less efficient. UV rays alone cause a degradation of around 1% every year. However modern more efficient compact panels suffer more from this than the older kind. So old panels might still be going strong, but give a modern panel the same amount of ageing and it might do a lot worse.

Do AI music creators actually have any success? I'm gonna need some numbers on that.

$21K for 6KW? Holy shit....

I had a 3KW system installed in 2022, total costs were around $3.5K (including some changes to my electrical setup to fit it in). Looking up current pricing around here, the same setup would be cheaper still.

6KW is obviously bigger and your situation may be more complex, but anything above $10K seems like a ripoff for me.

Samsung Internet is Chromium as well, so probably closer to 80% of all browsing is done using some form of Chromium.

Not sure what the point you are trying to make is?

I think folding laundry is very relaxing actually.

Wow that's crazy! I've also gotten an XP key burned into my brain, but it's a different one. I had no idea there were multiple people memorised:

FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8

It used to have it's own Wikipedia page, but now it's just a mention on this page:

I highly doubt space elevators for Earth are decades away, more like centuries if they are even possible at all. Even if technically possible (which is a big if), they also need to be environmentally, politically, culturally and economically possible.

It's a cool concept, but it ain't going to happen on Earth. Maybe on the Moon or some other place perhaps.
