Vertical Farming and the Problem with Staple food

Vertical Farming and the Problem with Staple food

Those who know me know that I am in the vertical farming business. While I'm not in the lab or indoor growing facility on a daily basis, I've seen live what it's like, what the problems are, and what the solutions are to challenges.

One thing, and this is the point that is most of the truth about the negative aspects of vertical farming: the cultivation of Basic food products. Mainly cereals. Continue reading →

Europe is becoming irrelevant - New superpowers are already waiting

Europe is becoming irrelevant - New superpowers are already waiting

Europe will lose importance in the next few years, hard thesis, but there is more and more circumstantial evidence to support this thesis. If Europe does not promptly strive to secure its own independence and prosperity, this will destroy the prosperity of the Western world. Not only Europe is threatened with destruction, but the entire Western world. The damage is becoming more visible than ever.

Storage for Germany's energy transition: A critical assessment of the costs

Storage for Germany's energy transition: A critical assessment of the costs

The topic of accumulators as battery storage for Germany and its energy transition is almost a daily topic on Linkedin, and so it recently came to a discussion on LinkedIn again, based on my post from a youtube video from VattenfallWhen the audience heard that the pumped storage in Germany can only supply Germany for 30 minutes, the topic of battery storage came up again, and that Germany could then be operated with it during dark periods.

I did the math:

Real climate solutions catalog of measures - Because the last generation sucks

Real Climate Solutions Catalog of Measures - Because the Last Generation Sucks

They say, the wiser gives in, because it makes no sense to discuss with stupid people, well, I had this view also for some time, but if people are getting dumber and then climate extremists are financed from abroad, present themselves as saviors of humanity (yes not even of the German people), then it is time to show these truants how to do it really.

Pyramid of industries

Whether you call it pyramid of industries, trades or branches, the name is not really important, but I was looking for such a pyramid for a long time, which shows which industries and trades are interdependent and in turn build on each other. Since I could not find such a graph, ChatGPT (GPT-4) helped me to build such a structure.

Lex Kirpeit/AI2023 - Restriction of Generative Artificial Intelligence - Guideline.

Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, this has far-reaching consequences for humanity, the likes of which we have never experienced before at such a speed. Within weeks to months, virtually anyone with access to the Internet can now use artificial intelligence to achieve their goals.

Using ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), I created a Lex Kirpeit/AI2023, and adjusted measures accordingly (ChatGPT suggested death penalty, which I think is overkill), which states what limitations of generative AI should apply in my opinion and experience. Since I am a natural person and do not have legislative influence, this Lex Kirpeit/AI2023, is a recommendation and should be considered an informal guide to dealing with generative AI.

This lex is not legally binding, but should be considered to limit long-term harm from generative AIs.

ChatGPT's conclusion:

It is my hope that the Lex Kirpeit/AI2023 will help ensure that the use of generative AI technology is done in an ethically responsible manner and that humanity is protected from the potential harms of the use of AI technology.

Generative AI is a danger and we should ban it

Generative AI is a danger and we should ban it

I love using AI and see the benefits every day in my day-to-day work to make my job easier, but not always uncritically, so I have to debug code more often, but it's nicely formatted and documented right away. But generative AI is a danger. Continue reading →

Vertical Farming Power Consumption

Vertical Farming Power Consumption

Vertical farming and power consumption is actually one of the most important topics in the industry, but it is usually given little attention or glossed over with buzz words, at least it seems to me that people prefer not to throw out the hard numbers. As a trained electronics engineer, however, I know that the reality is different and not necessarily so great when you look at the energy requirements.
