>BYD has already proven BYD needs to be heavily liquid cooled/thermally managed to achieve that. The Donut battery only had metal heat sink on two or even one side - and its perfor…

I'd assume datacenters built for space would have different reliability standards. I mean, if a communication satellite (which already has a lot of electronic and computing compone…

I hear people say that, but I’m yet to see what’s unreliable about Windows. I’m running Windows 11 with latest updates on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and it hasn’t ever failed me, not e…

Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.

Most people are fine with Windows, including myself. I find it a good business workhorse with excellent productivity features that I can rely upon, knowing that it will handle pret…

This, and apparently they don’t have a track record of producing bluffware before. They already have some interesting know-how heavy products, and previously they have fully delive…

>I would have had a much easier time getting to where I am today if diagnostic criteria and awareness among clinical staff were better when I was younger. When I have thoughts like…

I'm a former AI-hater and sceptic. I do B2B consultancy/development work for my clients. I understand why people are irritated by this. However, recently I tried the GitHub Copilot…

Maybe, but with all the modern .NET tooling I feel at least 2x productive in .NET than in Spring Boot. There are a lot of quality of life stuff in .NET/C# that really does add up a…

Your sample are tech people using Copilot, which is very small population sample. Hundreds of millions of casual users around the world default to ChatGPT, and for example in my co…

Where is that guy who coded RollerCoaster Tycoon in Assembly?

The best Reddit was the one the users from Digg were migrating to.

They were well positioned for cloud business long before AWS and Azure, but they still managed to lose this battle. Google can be good on the technological side of things, but we s…

AI startups were easy cash grabs until very recently. But I think the wave is settling down - doing real AI startup turned out to be VERY hard, and the rest of the "startups" are m…

Redis, Akka, Hashicorp, CockroachDB, etc. Seems to be a common occurrence everywhere.

Technologically they may have caught up, but market wise they may have lost forever. In my country (and I think in many others), ChatGPT is already a household name, and nobody has…

You are missing a lot of stuff Microsoft is doing. Azure, .NET, server tools, databases, VS Code, TypeScript, GitHub, (yes, OpenAI), gaming, XBox, desktop, business tools, Surface,…

>C# is a nice language, but it has a huge surface area in terms of syntax. If you compare it to something like Java, yes, it has much richer syntax. But having to process some extr…

I clicked Copilot button in Bing with this search term and it said the exact answer I was looking for, in plain English: "Yes, *Monday, January 27th* is a public holiday in Aucklan…

The article says it will be in rocky grounds, and deep enough to be below any water tables.

Well, I think nobody can argue that Apple's tech is still better, but this is the first time someone was able to offer some competition that doesn't look like a joke in comparison …

I feel like not only Copilot, but Bing’s general search has been better than Google’s for the last year or so. I haven’t had a need to go to google for a very long time.

Another issue is round trip efficiency. Iron-air, I believe, is somewhere at 50-60% (you lose almost half of the energy that you pump in). While LFP and the Sodium battery mentione…

To take advantage of that charging speed, you have to supply 10x of charging power though. 10x of charging speed of Li-ion would be in megawatts per single charging device.

You are talking a different (nickel-cobalt-manganese, or NCM) battery chemistry. This is also a type of a Li-ion battery but has a number of advantages and disadvantages compared t…
