Exactly. $450 for a motherboard just to get ECC support is ridiculous. I don't know how it is with AM5, but on AM4, my understanding is that you could use ECC memory with many normally-priced motherboards. (Even if it wasn't &quot

This is a very optimistic take and I like that. It’s just my experience that it’s very hard to convince people to make those kinds of changes, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to do those things.

All mining is bad for the environment to some degree or another. Lithium mining allows us to stop doing other harmful forms of mining, and it is infinitely recyclable; it isn't being blasted away into the atmosphere like gasoline. Even

A lot of Google Maps "satellite" imagery is actually aerial imagery, not satellite. Getting that kind of detail and resolution with satellite photos is extremely hard / expensive. If you want up to date imagery, you could cer

Do you plan to sell off-nadir imagery too? It's one thing I notice that seems to be missing, and I think that can create some of the coolest looking satellite photos. Although, I wish your license actually allowed me to sell the photos

I can't find any actual accounts of the wind stopping entirely for "weeks" in Germany. It is a theoretical possibility. Periods of "low wind" are fully expected in summer, since there is usually more wind power gene

$1650 isn't cheap , but it's pretty normal for the high end of mid-range ultrabooks. It's less than I paid for my M2 MacBook Air, which has neither OLED nor E-Ink. Truly high-end laptops easily go for $2500+, but it is nice

I already addressed all of this with the difficulty of extraction. I even called out gold earlier in the thread, possibly more than once. The abundance of lithium is nothing like the abundance of gold, and oil is a different subject altoget

The only logical choice is to assume that the battery industry will keep doing what it has been doing, unless you present some strong evidence to the contrary, which you have repeatedly failed to do, as has been pointed out by myself and

And again, battery production is scaling like crazy. That is an undeniable fact for now. You're the one speculating that it will suddenly stop, and you have presented flimsy evidence at best . Your entire argument falls apart if bat

You should be linking to evidence that prices will rise uncontrollably if you want to support your argument that battery production won't keep increasing. I will remind you that this is your absurd argument: > By comparison, the e

by coder543 4y ago
Commodity prices are rising… causing more mines to open… causing more supply… which will cause prices to drop. Why do you keep pointing to that? Your argument makes no sense. That’s how commodities scale.

You have too many assumptions about the availability of lithium, and lack of “easy” reserves. That’s the fundamental disconnect here. Lithium is not inaccesible, and it is super common. The “hard” ways to mine lithium aren’t that hard. We

by coder543 4y ago
The prices have gone up, so mining is expanding. There’s a clear next step to the way commodities work. That next step is not for prices to continue increasing dramatically, things should level off and eventually return to normal, as I expl

That’s an irrelevant question. I hate that I’m still bothering to respond when you don’t seem interested in changing your position. There is a fixed cost to extract a kilogram of lithium using a given method. When demand spikes, lithium sup

by coder543 4y ago
Which just shows that you don’t understand commodity pricing. If gold was as common and accessible as lithium, gold would be a lot cheaper.

13% is not 50%. It makes a huge difference in the cost scaling under discussion. In fact, nickel dominates the cost of the cathode, in case you missed what I had posted. But there are nickel-free chemistries out there.

by coder543 4y ago
I said prices would be volatile. Scaling has worked for plenty of other commodities. As I said, I’m out.

I already responded to you elsewhere. Perhaps you ignored it? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34460846 Cathodes are not a giant chunk of elemental lithium, as you believe.

You could not be more wrong about batteries. You made a huge error about the cost percentage that lithium makes up. It’s possible — just possible — that other people have researched batteries too, and maybe they have a better sense of where
