I’m watching this for… err…. educational purposes. Seirously, I am! Now look, it’s about climate change and carbon sequestration through photosynthesis.

Time to update the coins again.

looks like a punctuation error to me. I would have written it this way:

Honestly—the way they’re speaking—I’m fine with them calling it ‘“american.”

You could separate the interjection with commas or parentheses too. the em dashes give some extra emphasis, while commas make it blend in a bit better.

😃 Worried about scratching the print job? Tell that to the shovels, hammers, cables and other random work stuff I threw in there. Oh wait, some people don’t use a truck like a tool.

I wonder if it would be cool to own an excavator and never dig anything with it. At least the bucket would stay yellow.

Same here. Those cars are so expensive to own, that you don’t ever even think of getting one unless you really really need it for a specific purpose. However, I’ve heard that Americans don’t think that way.

What about the other people who drive a pickup truck? Do they actually haul cargo or tow a boat?

Some people say Oracle doesn’t have clients. They have hostages.

Stopped reading after the “Why it matters” section. Nobody uses that phrase in an article.

Yikes! That was pretty messed up. Goes to show that you can’t really trust Microsoft or Samsungto handle things for you.

What about GitLab? When Microsoft bought GitHub, people got angry, and migrated their code to GitLab. When that happened, GitLab was all over the headlines for a while, but I haven’t read much about it ever since.

🤣 priceless!

You know there are vibe coders who don’t even try to run the code before uploading it. Apparently, those very same people make phone services too. Just do everything with AI, and ship it without checking anything at all. Full steam ahead, never look back.

Cooling is still possible if you radiate the heat away. Convective cooling won’t work though.

The temperature of those few particles doesn’t really matter much since there are so few of them. The overall energy density is low. The whole concept of temperature begins to fall apart in an extreme environment like that.

How do you measure the temperature of particles that aren’t there?

Also, the hot argument refers to intense solar radiation, which is available only on one side of the satellite. The other side doesn’t receive sunshine, so it will loose heat.

Well, they are language models after all. They have data on language, not real life. When you go beyond language as a training data, you can expect better results. In the meantime, these kinds of problems aren’t going anywhere.

Li-ion technology has huge factories behind it, so economies of scale apply here. The first Na-ion battery factories have just started, so everything is more expensive to manufacture on a small scale. However, the ingredients are cheaper and easily available. Once they ramp up production, we can make a fair comparison between the two.

I have a feeling LIBs are going to be more expensive, but they won’t disappear since high energy density is very handy in mobile applications like cars and phones. NIBs are probably going to end up being a lot cheaper, which should make them a popular option in all the less demanding applications, like grid energy storage, kitchen scales, and anything in between.

Yeah, that million years of evolution argument is just pitiful. Like, how is that compassion even supposed to work. Probably sounded better in his head.

Fair enough.

So in his view, the fair comparison is, “If you ask ChatGPT a question, how much energy does it take once its model is trained to answer that question versus a human? And probably, AI has already caught up on an energy efficiency basis, measured that way.”

How about we do a life-cycle assessment instead.

I’m just thinking that people with extreme tastes might want to visit USA exactly because there’s a good chance you’ll never return.

Some people also visit North Korea. Is that insane too?
