The Ledger

Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

clear all ✕

why aren't all 7 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Insight
Phillips: High-frequency data access matters more than edge processing power
“I've been a little less concerned about that, because for computation, you can always be very efficient about your algorithms, and you can make trade-offs from the algorithms. The reason we're more concerned about the data is if you don't have the data, you do…”

Insight
Phillips: Legacy smart meter architecture cannot support real-time grid visibility
“Low-resolution data sent up to the service provider, made available later on, and look, there's some things you can do with that, but you just can't have a real-time, consumer-facing app, and then you can't see the grid in real-time from the edge either.”

Insight
Phillips: High-resolution meter data enables real-time grid fault detection
“What we've learned since then is that same high-resolution data lets us see, ah, the grid from the edge, lets us see transformers arcing, lets us see vegetation hanging power lines in real-time. That only happens through high-resolution data.”

Assertion Supported
Phillips: Modern smart meters capture 50 million times more data
“There's meters on the market that are doing that at 15,000 times per second. So, so that's fifty million times more data than AMI one dot O.”

Assertion Supported
Phillips: Sense devices collect up to one million data samples per second
“We started to build these little orange boxes that go inside electrical panels and collect data at super high resolution, up to a million samples a second in the little orange box.”

Disclosure
Phillips: Sense develops megahertz-sampling meters to detect transformer arcing
“We are working with some of the meter makers to have the next generations of meters that have even higher sampling rates than that, going all the way up to megahertz, and that's unlocking some more use cases around arc fault detection, you know, when there's a…”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Phillips: Smart home devices still fail to communicate their operational status
“Look, if smart devices were fully enabled and every device out in your home told us what it was doing, we'd be happy to use that. But it's far from being the case.”
