>If we really can't find any more, then billions or trillions of dollars will be redirected to bring lithium extraction from seawater to commercial scale. And we are probably going to burn fossil fuel to obtain the energy for this?

> We have not run out of any mineral ever and I don't believe we ever will. Is mineral not a finite resource? I don't understand your source of optimism here.

That imo is our only way out, but this is effectively deus ex machina moment for humanity.

Based on his calculations from a video a year ago. He projects that we would need 940M tons of lithium, while 2022 reported reserves is 95M tons.[0] Are we going realistically find enough undiscovered lithium reserves that is the same size

I like Svelte. It embraces the fact that UI is stateful and doesn't try to pretend it isn't.

Also plays into the trend of "lets hire fullstack devs AKA frontend devs that knows how to call APIs and have a vague understanding of transactions and its pitfalls" and offload all backend work to SaaS products. If the startup ta
