Those use liquid electrolyte cells and the video is more promo than rigorous testing.

The Two Bit Da Vinci YouTube channel has a good video on solid state battery fundamentals and a deep dive into a battery company (ProLogium) that has demonstrated manufacturing at …

The “Platform” is just the website. They are saying don’t hack our servers. There is a caveat for content published under an open source license (like the docs).

I uploaded my own image, tried various crops, but it always guessed cat or deer, with dog<3%.

I think they only trained on dogs with floppy ears, because it is very confident the German Shepherd is a cat.

I thought there was so much excess solar generation that even the utility company couldn’t store it all. There is a perverse incentive to dump the excess power to prevent the price…

It’s not that dystopian if you are given the choice to trade your attestation for more valuable service. We have been paying for the web by letting advertisers correlate our behavi…

From what I have read most of the recent EV companies failed due to investor shenanigans. Fisker and Coda made it to production promising ~$30-40k models, but only really delivered…

Slate is outsourcing service operations to any shop that wants to pay $50 to get certified. https://www.slate.auto/en/certified

I don’t like the bins drifting from so far away so slowly. There needs to be repulsive force that prevents the bins from colliding. It would be interesting if the resonators could …

Businesses like a record of reliability, so devs going solo with AI is going to be a hard sell. I think we will know that AI is actually good enough when these AI providers start a…

If only they had launched that yesterday I might have avoided Copilot auto model selection using a 9x model, quietly burning my monthly quota in a single afternoon.
