CATL via it's subsidiary QIJI is one example... with well over a thousand operational stations swapping batteries. Considering your persistent rude tone and denial of basic facts that you could simply google this is probably the last t

The nitrogen comes from the air - we're perfectly capable of capturing it using renewables. It's probably one of the last things to be created that way because it's one of the places where methane is used more efficiently tha

No, even under such a restrictive license (which I think the GFDL is?) there's no argument. Their copyright was not violated by anthropic downloading the books, because anthropic had a license to do that. And their copyright was not vi

Nuclear has the same issue as (unpredictable) renewables, it is incapable of cost efficiently following the demand curve. As a result, just like renewables, it requires a form of dispatch-able power to complement it (gas, batteries, etc). S

It's not the lack of oil that enabled this. The west* fought a bloody war to defeat North Korea. We just didn't win (though we did prevent the north from taking the south...). Now you've got a dictatorship protected by their

What are you doing in your loop? As typically deployed [1] LLMs are not turing complete. They're closer to linear bounded automaton, but because transformers have a strict maximum input size they're actually a subset of the weaker
