  6. I've asked it to do engineering calculations. It's pretty good but it's like having a graduate engineer working for you. You've got to check what it's telling you but it's still impressive.

  8. Here is an example of a good use for ChatGPT, and I suppose Calude and the others.
  9. Paul Wittgenstein (November 5, 1887 – March 3, 1961) was an Austrian-American concert pianist notable for commissioning new piano concerti for the left hand alone, after his right arm was amputated during World War I. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wittgenstein

    No. It was a Dad joke.
  11. Trust me it happens. We ended up having to dig a large hole 6m x 6m, trifurcating the cables and mounting the phases to a frame and reburying. Cost the customer 1000s.
  12. That sounds unlikely. Every switchyard has constantly varying loads, but they don't have histories of such failures. Perhaps you saw a result of incorrectly completed workmanship. Secondly, whether U/G or above ground, such minimal cycling is the same. Note that any signs of heating in a joint requires immediate rectification, so a lot of care goes into preventing it no matter what the generator source is. So it is normally rarely a problem. Further, I would question any U/G joints. I haven't heard of any - but I only worked in the Qld industry.
  13. like any thermal generator, you just open the steam/gas valves like we have with coal plants for the last 100 years. If you have several plants on line they all only need to increase one a small amount. The generator doesn't actually need to accelerate, just need to keep it running at the same speed and increase the power coming out of it. What ids the going price for the alternative. Nobody knows!

    ome, I'm guessing you mean Jarome Luai and Brian To’o heading to the PNG Chiefs.
  15. How quickly do THEY respond and where is this Happening?What is the going price for Nuclear power Quotes tender costs Nev
  16. On a Piano keyboard? Respond to what I wrote, not something you twist around to suite yourself, or there is no Point having a discussion. Nev
  17. Really ? If you watched (listened) to the link provided, you would see evidence of left handed playing of a musical arrangement devised specifically for a left handed player.
  18. What biased in that. That is the way it is. Thing failing are not just limited to coal and gas. 450MW of wind tripped off after seeing too many grid drops in a certain amount of time causing SA to go black. Underground feeders fail at wind farms because they cycle between full load and no load causing thermal cycling and making the joints fail. We replaced every joint twice before we got them more reliable. Just as well we did because we ended up with twice as many joints. Inverters fail at battery facilities. That is one of the advantages of wind and solar how quick you can turn them on and off IF the fuel is available. When we get nuclear we will be able to use them to turn off when there is to much power on the grid.
  19. Yes my pricing was wrong. On Monday 12th of October the price peaked at $23,107.00 at 14:20. https://wattclarity.com.au/articles/2026/10/12oct-nsw-at-14-20-spike/

  22. Clumsy, just like his immigration program.
  23. I suggest you watch "The Piano" (the Australian episodes) on ABC Iview. There is one performance by a pianist who lost the use of one hand. Amazing skill! Sorry but I cannot recall which epusode. Found it on Youtube:
  24. ok. I did that. Then what?
