Although bidirectional charging lives from back-and-forth, it can’t survive a regulatory landscape that is going back-and-forth as well.
Yet that’s what’s happening right now in Germany.

"this is #fascism with a difference. Its proponents are actively willing an apocalypse, or a wave of interconnected apocalypses brought forth by #ClimateChange and financial chaos, to hasten us towards a post-democratic world in which only a rich few survive to prosper" -- Naomi Klein

Naomi Klein: ‘Extreme wealth has a deranging effect. It turns you into a supremacist’
She’s tackled neoliberalism and the digital world, now the writer and activist is taking on tech billionaires. She explains how the super-rich are capitalising on climate and financial chaos in pursuit of power

A federal judge on Friday again blocked Donald Trump’s executive order

The ruling comes hours after North Carolina became the first state …

A miracle has occurred. A nearby field that was previously entirely empty has suddenly brought forth a cornucopia: many hundreds of pumpkins. No leaves, mind. Just pumpkins. Overnight. People are flocking to see it.

Already posted this years ago, but still keep thinking a lot about this seemingly trivial quote/insight and more generally what it means to build futures, not just the future, whilst choosing different lenses of the past and present as selective references/tools for aiming at, achieving (or even avoiding) said futures:

The government has withdrawn subpoenas that would have compelled three New York Times reporters to testify about their sources for articles about President Donald Trump’s Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet. The withdrawals in U.S. District Court followed a remarkable back and forth between a visibly irritated Judge Arun Subramanian and government attorneys. They come at a time when the Trump administration is vigorously going after news organizations whose reporting and coverage it doesn’t lik…

New 10x8" silver gelatin print. This one took a lot of refining, back and forth and test strips to achieve the right balance between brightness, contrast (esp. in the brighter parts of the clouds) and smooth mid-tone transitions. So even though this is a contact print from a digital negative, this was the first time in ages (i.e. decades) that I used some physical dodging to soften the horizon and emphasize the haze in the distance a tiny bit more...

Sonnet 134 - CXXXIV
So now I have confessed that he is thine,
And I my self am mortgaged to thy will,
Myself I'll forfeit, so that other mine
Thou wilt restore to be my comfort still:
But thou wilt not, nor he will not be free,
For thou art covetous, and he is kind;
He learned but surety-like to write for me,
Under that bond that him as fast doth bind.
The statute of thy beauty thou wilt take,
Thou usurer, that put'st forth …

I've been doing my new projects with two AI agents: one to write the program, one to build a server to host it. And I've been relaying commands back and forth between the two. I just realized I could have one Claude Code session manage the other for me. I'm delighted to find it knows all about doing that and has a messaging system for the two to talk to each other.
I spent my graduate career in the 1990s working on multi-agent systems. I never imagined anything like this actually working. The language capabilities of LLM have unlocked so many possibilities.

Microsoft said it disrupted a BEC campaign involving 1m emails "using AI to amplify long-standing fraud techniques rather than create entirely new ones...using in-depth, fraudulent back-and-forth conversations designed to be more convincing than ever."

The computer at the bottom of a canal
Somewhere at the bottom of the Forth and Clyde Canal, buried in the silt, there is a box of custom silicon that was right about almost everything. Back in 1988 a Scottish hi-fi company shipped a processor that checked the type and bounds of every memory access in hardware, garbage-collected its own heap in silicon, […]

NFL Week 3 rankings: Ravens-Cowboys in Brazil and games that should go down to the wire https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7623388/2026/09/25/nfl-schedule-week-3-cowboys-ravens-brazil/

What data do I need to simulate various battery sizes? The measures are in 5 minute intervals.
Total Active Power in W (Measuring Point ID p24) tells me how much energy was harvested at that moment. By dividing it by 12, I get the Wh. I could use Total Yield in Wh (p2) but then I need to subtract the data from the previous time frame.
Next I need to know how much energy the house used. I could look at the Meter Active Power in W (p8018) from the meter, which tells me how much energy flows to or from the grid. Divided by 12 to get Wh.
The difference is how much energy I could send or would need from the battery.
Because there are limits to how fast energy can be stored and returned, I probably should wait with the division until the end to not have to go back and forth multiple times.
The battery has a storage capacity in Wh and a charge/discharge limit in W.
Examples:
p24: 4.000 W
p8018: 2.000 W
-> house uses 6.000 W
Battery with 5.000 W discharge limit needs to provide 2000/12 Wh -> 167 Wh
p24: 4.000 W
p8018: -2.000 W
-> house uses 2.000 W
Battery could charge 2000/12 Wh -> 167 Wh
p24: 1.000 W
p8018: 7.000 W
-> house uses 8.000 W
Battery can only provide 5000/12 Wh -> 417 Wh
2000 W (167 Wh) have to be bought
Fields:
PV W, Meter W, House W, Battery W, Battery Wh, Grid W, Grid sold Wh, Grid bought Wh
