“Bicycle for the mind” analogy is actually really good here. Since bicycles and other transportation technology has made us increasingly weak, which has a negative impact on physical health. At this point it has reached such a critical poin

The hysteria that has triggered this kind of legislation is based on an idea of chemtrails that are absolutely not real. The legislation itself is also targeting something which is not yet real. Nobody is actually doing geo-engineering on a

When it comes to chip manufacturing, no single country has it all in-house. Neither US, nor Taiwan, nor China can make state of the art chips without machines, materials, chemicals and support from a bunch of other countries. For personal a

Its the feature I’m waiting for before I start a project I’ve wanted to do for a while in Zig. I’d say it’s really important to get async nailed before 1.0, because it’s potentially one of the biggest killer features for many projects. Zigs

If the goal is viable commercial operation, Helion has vast benefits over the other approaches when it comes to the economics of turning the fusion energy into electricity. All approaches have huge hurdles to overcome. Helion may have bigge

No, EVs are far less likely to spontaneous ignition than ICE cars. The statistics on this is very clear now. Depending on the source an ICE car is 10-20 times of a similar age is more likely to catch fire. Since most EVs are new I would gue

The intensity of an EV is almost the same as that of an ICE car. A little bit less severe actually. There’s a study from Sweden that set an EV and ICE on fire and measures the energy/heat from the fire over time. The curves are fairly

I can’t take this seriously at all. Have you seen what they’re talking about every day on Russian television? You think it’d be better for Ukraine to move from EU/US sphere of influence, and whatever Ukrainian nationalism they’re suppo

They’re far from the first car company to announce a car with solid state batteries. It’s best to wait until we see cars on the road to get excited.

I don’t think you’ll see the full cost benefits of solar (and wind) until after the transition to 100% renewables (and maybe nuclear) is complete. There’s just too many big investments needed in the transition. That’s expensive. Repowering

Thinking EVs are an environmental catastrophe is completely disconnected from reality. There are already big battery recycling operations up and running with very good yields, and they just keep getting better and more efficient at recyclin

There are many parts of Norway where it’s hard or impossible to start diesel cars without block heaters. EVs are indeed much easier to start and more reliable. The postal service changes all jts vehicles on Svalbard to electric. Svalbard is

I don’t think it’s hard to know. We’re already seeing several signs of being near the plateau in terms of capabilities. Most big breakthrough these days seems to be in areas where we haven’t spent the effort in training and model engineerin

The article seems to be missing the demand side of the equation, and the impact of EVs. In an energy market where most of the electricity is supplied by renewables, there will be a lot of money to be made or saved by adapting power consumpt

But crypto isn’t the only way to change the banking system. In many cases you can now transfer money instantly and free across European countries. If there’s a will there’s a way. Turning crypto into an acceptable banking system is probably

Crypto isn’t an alternative to a bank. Not any crypto I’ve seen at least. The primary purpose of a bank is to issue debt. That’s why they were created. A bank has to be able to “print” money to issue debt. This isn’t a flaw as some crypto f

There’s several very promising next gen battery technologies that’s in pre production or trial production in US and Europe now. I wonder how this will pan out vs China. Will it turn out that China invested too much in what will end up being

No, it’s not. It’s just a different perspective. In some aspects it does reveals real economic power, but in other ways it can vastly exaggerate a country’s economic power. Having hundreds of millions of poor near-subsistence farmers will a

How is that relevant? Countries don’t hold reserves in e-wallets. You don’t get a business loan in an e-wallet. What you pay with as a consumer has nothing to do with the dollars reserve currency status. One of the most important aspects of

I find it odd that, in very few of the articles that take a positive view on Chinas outlook in this trade war is it mentioned that China is knee deep in debt (when shadow debt is included) and very dependent on exports to avoid catastrophe.

I don’t see any mention of what LTE SoC is used anywhere? Even if you’re abstracting away the hardware in this application, isn’t it relevant for many potential users what the chip is?

I’ve been thinking for a while that the first real sign of China preparing for war with Taiwan is if it gets into smaller conflicts or proxy wars somewhere else. They have near zero practical experience. They’ll need a few years of ironing

It was the best for its time. But one of the reason why XP was "better" is that it had built-in support for WiFi. That ended up being a dealbreaker for 2k. That's the issue.. every new OS has brought some features or stabilit

I don’t see any way you can spin this in a positive light. Yeah, there may be many more FSD miles on Tesla, but if that leads to a bunch of motorcyclists getting hit, then maybe that’s exactly the problem. We know this is one of the core is

The electric car does illustrate what happens to prices well.. but I just want to point out that those incentives are not necessarily meant to decrease prices. The incentives are as much for EV car companies as it is for the consumer. Gi

I think the car looks excellent for what it is. It’s not like there’s a lot of choice in stunning micro EVs. My friend drove a Buddy for a few years. Really neat car, but that’s definitely one that nobody would call beautiful. I’ve seen m
