Cheers! For the record 25% of electricity from oil is "insane" for any place that isn't a small island or failing 3rd world country.

It is amazing how internet commenters can see some data that appears insane and build an entire post around it. Instead of like, consider, that they have completely misunderstood the data. Confirmation bias much. Eg that graph is not Finnis

Of course you can't do blast furnace with a sand battery. But there is still a sizable market for industrial heat in between 100c <> 400c.

If you are paying for electricity in dollars, this battery won't translate to cheaper energy for you. The battery is in Scotland.

I think it's cute people believe companies that trained their models with every single book and online page ever written without consents from authors (and often against the explicit request of the author without any opt-out) won'

Never attribute malice where bad incentives suffice. Someone's KPI was to sprinkle AI. And someone got it by shoehorning "AI enhancement" in place of the previous sharpen + Denoise filter at YouTube.

Genuis. The ultimate way to bypass all AI bot crawling blocks. Just make every chrome browser upload whatever they view to perplexity for training data^W^WAI summarizing.

You are right, my message comes through as too snarky. What I wanted to give is an actionable item for the readers here.

The word renewable has a specific meaning (the source renews). Just because something is renewable, doesn't mean it's climate-friendly and/or sustainable. Burning pellets as Bioenergy is renewable - it's just not sustain

Batteries where "uninteresting" so their production was outsourced to Asia. Chinese invested in battery science, engineering and manufacturing. Fast forward a few decades, and here we are. Now with EVs and energy storage batteries

Short version: Cloud innovation, a Chinese company by Heng Lu, took millions of African IP addresses from AFRINIC but didn't use them in Africa. When uncovered, they have been torrenting lawsuits paralyzing AFRINIC (which was failing a

This really annoys the shit out of me. First people work hard to enable E2E encryption on WhatsApp, then Google goes "lol we'll just upload your chats to Gemini cloud".

All cars have become a lot more bigger. I was just watching the movie Jewel of the Nile on Disney+. There was a scene, where a dictator and the protagonists cram into to Rolls Royce of 80s and I just thought the average suv these days has m

Apparently it's not just me who thinks when someone says "food processing chemicals" that "hey, lye is food processing chemical too" - used to industrially peel mandarins. Weaselwording to make things sound benign.

TUI for sports reminds me that in Finland, teletext is still very popular for following sports (football, ice hockey, even F1) TUI gets you straight to the point, no ads, etc. So the teletext format is now outliving TVs and people read the
