Cool😊 the panels I've seen has been about 2m height, but that doesn't change anything. The picture in the article looks almost miniaturised.

The shade and the wind hindrance also helps with crop yield, I've been told by a farmer that is part of an experiment using these. The vertical panels help with moist retention, which is what is beneficial.

Oh, i see😊 When the EED takes effect in 2025/2026 id wager the return will be better for that use than solar panels, as all public buildings will be fitted with some sort of solar capture. Wood is a great energy store, as well, which we need more of.

Oh, and in roughly the same time frame the steps of mandatory mixing of renewable sources in central heating will start, so such agricultural land will be economically more important.

Could be a difference in availability of land, but in Sweden you'd not be granted permission for something as mundane as a solar farm if it meant taking farmland out of production.

As for the forests... That's my greatest fear, that climate change will kill off large swathes of Oxygen producers by increasing ocean temperatures or making trees unable to thrive!

How is agricultural land defined if it isn't used to grow biomass?

1. Ai, which lacks morality by definition, is as capable in morals as it is describing smells. As for that human data the question quickly becomes which data? As expressed in literature, social media or un politics? And also which century? It's enough to compare today with pre-millenia conditions to see how widely it differs.

As for 2. You assume that there is an objective reality free from emotion? There might be, but I am unsure if it can be perceived by anything living. Or AI, for that matter. It is after all, like you said, trained on human data.

Anyways, time will tell if Openai is correct in their assessment, or if humans will want the human touch. As a tool for trained professionals to use, sure. As a substitute for one? I'm not convinced yet.

I disagree with your first statement. Law is about the application of rules, not the rules themselves. In a perfect world, it would be about determining which law has precedence in matter at hand, a task in itself outside of AI capabilities as it involves weighing moral and ethical principles against eachother, but in reality it often comes down to why my interpretation of reality is the correct one.

I agree! This time last year I might not have, but things changes fast and not for the better:(

On the contrary, I'm afraid. Land is in very short supply. The issue is that even if the land is not currently developed it is doing vital stuff already. If it's used for food production, if it's a bit of forest storing massive amounts of CO2, if it's home the insects pollinating our food supply, if it's....

Finding scrap pieces of land, like roof tops/already developed land for solar will be crucial going forward.

I'm just in the beginning, but my plan is to use it to evaluate policy docs. There is so much context to keep up with, so any way to load more context into the analysis will be helpful. Learning how to add excel information in the analysis will also be a big step forward.

I will have to check out Mistral:) So far Qwen2.5 14B has been the best at providing analysis of my test scenario. But i guess an even higher parameter model will have its advantages.

And exactly why are they missing? Who stole what at Microsoft?

Thank you! Very useful. I am, again, surprised how a better way of asking questions affects the answers almost as much as using a better model.

This is expected. Oil prize has been on the decline for some time. I didn't expect demand to erode this fast, though. which I guess is kinda a good thing.

The only way forward is for renewables to become even cheaper that fossils. Which can be done. The EUs fit-for-55 will bring down energy prizes. Summertime we will see really low electricity prizes the comming decade in Europe because of this.
