Yea, it also confused me - "anode-free" suggests there is no anode, and to best of my understanding a battery needs two electrodes so there will be a circuit for the current to flow. The full Wikipedia quote is: "An anode-free battery (AFB) is one that is manufactured without an anode. Instead, it creates a metal anode the first time it is charged."
It's sort of like "serverless" ;)
- cogman10 2y agoI think the way to understand it is that there isn't a special layer in the battery foil for making the anode. It's all chemically the same. I mean, with the server-less analogy, it is sort of like the fact that you don't manage the creation and destruction of the VM, someone (something) is though.
- philistine 2y agoServerless is a buzzword for the executive class. You’re telling me I could run my code AND fire all the employees managing my servers!
- merlindru 2y agoServerless has become "you provide a function that handles request/response, we run and scale it on our infra" You essentially only handle business logic, not the "serving" part of the server, but IMO it's not a buzzword. I'm not a huge fan of it personally because I want control and fear lock-in, but there's real meaning behind it, no?
