At the rate we are replacing gas power stations with solar and wind, the problem with burning fossil fuel will be gone in a generation. Over population will be the problem of the day because automation driven by ai will make 9/10 of us more or less redundant.

Trump seems to blame air traffic controller for the accident.

Statistics on Lithium battery fires in China indicate that most fires are from ternary or NMC batteries. from what I understand, the problem often occurs at the negative electrode. Those batteries have their cathode made with Nickel, Manganese, Cobalt Oxides + liquid electrolyte. Poor uniformity...

there are provisions for electric motorbikes. The problem is importers don't want to pay for type approval unless the number is big enough. I have imported an electric motorbike in 2012 and went through the same commercial thinking.

I am not sure about that. The conspiracist in me says that somebody profited from a panic selling of overvalued AI companies' stock. All the big players in AI: Open AI, Anthropic, Palantir, Microsoft, Tesla, and AI hardware related Nvidia, AMD, SMCI are all vastly overvalued to the tune of...

I... Daft idea. They should have added carbon footprint of the factory and its workers to the 25 gallons that they produced each day. It looks like a fund raising excercise. I can plant a tree a day to generate more carbon reversion than what that factory does.

Stupid idea. Refuse collection is what people need the councils for. In France, bin men come everyday except weekends.

The digits has 128gb of very fast ddr5 and a unified memory interface. Apple M1, AMD APUs have similar arrangement. They don't need separate vram. The Digits can handle 200B models and run the full NVIDIA software stack. NVIDIA Puts Grace Blackwell on Every Desk and at Every AI Developer’s...

Nvidia stock dropped 13% this morning. All because of Chinese DeepSeek R1 that was developped on a tiny budget of just $5.58 millions, beating Open AI o1 which reportedly cost 20 times to train. The technique is reinforced learning. You give the AI a test and the result. The AI will try to...

There are a lot of parallel processes involving sea and air temperatures. The AMOC is slowing down, that will cool the northern Atlantic, the uk, Norway etc may be more than what the greenhouse gases do to our summers. One thing seems to be probable, the number of local species that can't adapt...

You need a lot of time for a large system like the earth to reach a new equilibrium otherwise the wind wouldn't blow in the first place. In the meantime, localised differences in air pressure can get accentuated with more greenhouse gases.

95% of EV fires in China are on cars with NMC/ternary batteries. China has moved away from these batteries to LFP. The fire in Moss Landing is also of this type of batteries.

Why Putin annexed Crimea, Europe and USA can't let Ukraine lose the dombass: proven reserve of oil and gas.

To be fair, saneagle ony related to his personal observations. No external sources.

It's a question of space. We'll need fusion reactors to travel to the stars.

I spotted a small mistake in the article. It said 'Creating plasma and keeping it contained is hard. Tokamaks do it in a chamber, often doughnut-shaped, that contains gases that are heated to high temperatures and subjected to enormous pressure until they becomes a plasma'. Inside the tokamak is...

Apparently, Trump said on interview after his speech to WEF that he has delegated peace in Ukraine job to Xi Jinping. Also, a federal judge has stopped temporarily one of his presidential orders, the one about birthright for immigrants children, because it's anti-constitutional. Reality starts...

Olaf Schultz suggested that EV is the future, the way to deal with it is not through extra duty on Chinese or American imports but give subsidy to buy EU made EVs. In China, they have a simpler scheme. Before you can buy a car, you need to buy a number plate. Each year, a number of plates are...

I reckon that's because the warmer sub artic regions strengthen the jetstream which always has warm air on one side and cold air on the other side. Stronger jetstream accentuates depressions in the polar regions. Just check out how people lower temperature in the labs...

Tesla new $18,000 battery EV. Milkfloat SW?
