it is insane for a technologically advanced civilization to have to meter power through such ineffective tools as the mayor of a 8 million person city having to convince people to lower their heating demand and I don’t respect it

The official advice of the German government's Federal Environmental Ministry, here conveyed by the state broadcaster, is that portable air-conditioning units are "not effective" because they vent hot air outside, causing a pressure drop which brings air into the room, making the room overall hotter. Here we see the midwit condescension of the European managerial elite in its purest form. First of all, this is all disingenuous. The environment ministry knows full-well that air-conditioners work, they just don't want people using them because it would strain the German electricity infrastructure -- which the environment ministry itself has done a good deal to weaken. Also, if portable AC units don't work, why have Germans bought 75% more of these machines in the last five years? Why are there literally millions of reviews on Amazon and elsewhere saying "This thing works great! Finally I can sleep through the night!". Why has pretty much nobody ever returned an AC unit, saying "It just made the room hotter!" How stupid do these bureaucrats think Germans are? It's as if the health ministry warned that you shouldn't drink alcohol because it doesn't really make you drunk, in fact it makes you sober because -- LOOK! A SQUIRREL!!

"just get AC" meanwhile California is on fire every year and people are losing their homes. At what point do you stop suggesting europeans to get AC and rather do something against climate change

Everyone shitting on Andrej is a total moron. Bro has so much aura he could lose most of it and still brutally auramog all y’all “He’s shilling a slack chatbot!” No… he’s right. The future UI is not pair programming with a chatbot. It’s managing a team of different agents the same way a team lead might do in Slack. Integrating the agents directly into the existing team chat is a great first step, but the UI for multi agent orchestration will continue to evolve. He nailed it though, this is probably the direction things are heading. Almost everyone shitting on Karpathy is simply too stupid to understand what he’s saying.

Because it's so hard to be approved to install a proper AC setup in (like a minisplit) in Switzerland, there are many very unfortunate and very wasteful portable AC contraptions here in Geneva. It's very sad. Let people set up proper HVAC!

It's been a few weeks since @WindBorneWx released WeatherMesh-6. I hope you read the blog, but there's a pile of results and verifications that didn't make the cut, and I'm still looking for excuses to brag. So here we go 🧵

The basic idea is easy and v0 is a hackathon project. The product here is a lot closer to *it actually works*, for enterprise grade deployments, and after quite a bit of internal experimentation and iteration. It’s kind of hard to describe other than (per the post) it’s writing majority of code, it’s deeply integrated, multiplayer, and it starts to feel like everyone is a manager. So I understand it looks easy to dismiss on quick reading but it’s not some LLM Q&A with RAG over Slack, it’s not even OpenClaw adjacent, it’s a different way of working entirely, for people and teams. I work from Slack now.
