And the fire safety risks are significantly reduced (thermal runaway is much harder). They can also be transported and stored completely discharged, something not done with lithium ion batteries because of it degrades them much more than re

Both of them. To the extent that Google uses their position with chrome to give themselves in another domain they should be sued. Likewise, Apple refusing to allow consumers to install whatever applications they want on their own devices is

If Google abusing it’s dominant position in web browsers is a problem then the solution is legislation and anti trust action. Letting Apple abuse its own position because it currently provides benefit is not a good approach. Same thing pl

The output of hand watchmaking is likely also indistinguishable to most customers. I am skeptical that people buying 250k watches can tell if the perfect design was done by hand vs done by machine. The manufacturers play up the handcrafted

Let Google dominate the web. If that’s a problem we can sort that out. But two wrongs don’t make a right.

How does nuclear, an energy source known for needing to run at a very high capacity factor (i.e at max capacity) help with energy spikes? Well you better go tell the Chinese that they should slow down on wind and solar, clearly they are mis

At the start of 2025 China didn’t manage to reach their 2020 nuclear target, much less their 2025. Meanwhile they met their 2030 target. Look at their total extra energy generation (including capacity factor) comparing renewables and nuclea

Hydrogen as a chemical feedstock is not a problem, but that’s not what the “using hydrogen in LNG infrastructure” is what people push for. It’s about the “hydrogen economy” were you hear stupid ideas like energy carrier, hydrogen boilers, a

I meant for point 1. Zotero will accept a doi/arxiv link (among other) and download the public metadata (authors, journal, abstract) for you so you don't need to build something for that end. AI cites a paper, copy DOI into Zotero

Okay, I’ll bite. Who exactly is “they”? How have they burned their credibility to the ground? And how does reading scientific papers yourself address this issue if in your telling it was created by people who are no better than a coin flip?

Interesting, tools like Zotero seem to have sorted out the pdf fetching (and metadata + abstract fetching even without institutional access to the pdf). Did you try building the fetching on top of that?

Your source is a 5 year AMA post that it itself claims is made it. While funny, it does nothing to prove your assertion.
