That's good news, but I would continue the timer there. That issue is from March 2023 so the counter is at 3 years, 3 months. Let's see if they have anything decent before 10 years.

I find it baffling that someone with 21k karma, on <<Hacker>> News, posts such a ignorant comment, followed up by someone with 5k karma and a 10 year old account, with an equally "valuable" reply. At least use AI to kn

No, it's not a waste. That would imply that the end result will be 0. Nooo, it will be much worse. The end result will be a huge net negative. This administration will bring down the US a lot.

I read some interesting things about crazy sounding technologies like vanadium flow and iron batteries. I think we're at most 10 years away from storage being not fully solved, but becoming an enabler more than a bottleneck.
