Technical walkthrough to reviewing contracts with a multi agent system

For those in sf who want a reminder app to avoid street cleaning parking tickets, I built this app last year:

Congrats on the launch! I’m working on a similar product at https://upstreamapi.com

Im excited to see what features we build on top of semantic search + chat.

The reason they are tilted is to maximize irradiance hitting the panel. At a 0 degree angle (flat on the ground) you get a a lot around noon and then very little.

This approach surely reduces land usage but what is the output per acre?

I’d be really surprised if it’s higher than with tilted modules.

Guys this is 2 weeks old, no longer relevant

You are setting the bar extremely low. Besides nevado de toluca (ridiculously beautiful mountain) there's little to no incentives for this place

The gov optimization function is to maximize production not employment. This is an ongoing fallacy in the political narrative but the unseen consequences of making up jobs is overall lower purchasing power.

Hey ! I'm an engineer with experience building utility-scale solar and backend software at bay area companies.

I'm building ClimateCap (https://www.climatecap.io/) -- software to collect data and develop intelligence on climate-related risks and opportunities for climate finance.

My belief is that climate change is an incentives problem.

Currently, incentives vary geographically but they'll converge when physical and transitional risks are priced into every business model.

The allocation of capital that follows is estimated to be ~$1T USD/year for the foreseeable future (Source: https://fsb-tcfd.org/).

I'm launching a beta feature called "Climate-Related Financial Disclosures", giving anyone access to a list of climate risks and opportunities disclosed by US companies in their latest financial filings (10K, SEC), see https://www.climatecap.io/app

The sole motivation of this launch is to talk to people in the space and build a product roadmap along the vision above.

Drop me a note if you have feedback or ideas of who I should talk to.

'Base load can be provided through carbon neutral sources, such as the burning of rest-mass left over from crop production.'

This statement is very uncalibrated. Biomass is possible just as much as tidal power but that doesn't make it viable for scale. It's not even part of the conversation.

'Smart control of appliances is another way in which the need for baseload power could be reduced'

Wrong. Smart control of appliances is used to shift demand from peak load not base.

Storage is not optional to make renewables base load.

'But it need not be so, not every source of pleasure or quality of life needs a combustion engine or a plug.'

You are obviously trivializing quality of life. High energy consumption means access to quality products and services in food, transport, education, entertainment and healthcare at minimum.

Unfortunately your arguments are uncalibrated so I will stop. Please take a look at the cost-effectiveness of nuclear on this source for future discussion: https://www.iea.org/reports/projected-costs-of-generating-el...

Energy consumption correlates to quality of life.

Lower energy consumption is politically less feasible to implement, regressive and undesirable.

Bipartisan refers to cooperation of two political parties, not 'America'. But sure, few other countries have only two major political factions. More generally I meant to promote nuclear energy in political cooperation.

You are right in that the obvious is shutting down coal and gas plants.

The less obvious is that natural gas generation is very cost competitive. Solar/Wind are not viable solutions at the deployment velocity we need to achieve targets.

Also, they are not base load, so you are assuming storage is available and cost-competitive which seems to be 5-10 yrs from now.

An honest conversation of decarbonizing electricity has nuclear front and center.

Solutions to climate change are not behavioral as some suggest here.

It’s about incentives.

Transitioning to carbon neutral energy is possible at the expense of businesses’ cost structure, ie. less competitive.

Same applies to building retrofitting, agriculture and other major carbon emitters.

There is no serious conversation about climate change without looking at nuclear energy; it is base load generation (24/7), cheap and carbon neutral.

Bipartisan federal mandates to scale nuclear energy is the only real solution to this problem.

What is important about comma is the culture they seem to be building.

A no frills, technology-first company that is uninterested in speculating their value.

I would bet any day on a company that doesn’t thrive by shilling, with conviction to win and sheer skills turned up to 11.

That’s the kind of folks that push civilization forward

I’d love to see folks plan to monetize their product from the get go and not as an afterthought.

They should get measurable, direct compensation for the value created for others — be that saved time, joy or something else.

I feel there’s this quasi-apologetic approach to selling software when there should only be respect for those who can create value for others by their own creative and productive ability.

Author wrote 2000 words out of all that google spat for 'why Elon is bad'. Clickbait, collectivist views for eyeballs.

Journalists have a tough time observing others build.

The value of copilot is in ideating solutions not code correctness.

Given it's far from getting syntax and semantics right, it should probably be best to position this product as a tool that promotes creativity not productivity.

A hack that has worked for me is to randomly generate a password and write it down on a piece of paper. Use this pass on your attention-sink websites (for me twitter and ig).

This will make it impossible to login when you aren't home which gradually helps you lessen the habit.

At home, the time to fetch the password is significant enough for me to reconsider the behavior and I'm able to overcome the fleeting urge.

For twitter specifically, Ive replaced the behavior to sometimes checking individual URLs. I've also figured out who I care about (the 4 names I can store in my head!).

I'd say Ive recuperated 95% of my time back using the random written password.
