Each battery won’t, but a factory making lots of batteries…
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 2 days ago:
Countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE depend on it
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 2 days ago:
But you can’t imagine it doing a lot more?
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 3 days ago:
Water supply where? In Saudi Arabia it could be revolutionary tech when combined with solar
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 3 days ago:
Desalination sodium is free if you want the water
- Comment on New sodium ion battery stores twice the energy and desalinates seawater 4 days ago:
Desalinating water might be the best part. Usually, solar power has the downside of needing storage and desalination has the downside of big energy requirements. If you can do both at the same time, it’s a big win for dry climates with lots of sun
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 5 days ago:
Pretty sure if you asked it on stackoverflow you would get a bunch of responses to make it at home and then someone would lock your answer

There are people out there whose job is to format promotional emails for companies. AIs can replace this kind of soulless work completely. We should applaud that.

Some of them can produce the correct answer. Of we do the test next year and they do better than humans then, isn’t it progress?
- Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles 2 weeks ago:
It might be cool for storing solar energy for your home, though. We don’t need to always carry the battery in every use case
- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 3 weeks ago:
I watched only one movie in home 3d, but I liked it.
- Comment on LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market 3 weeks ago:
It’s very different. 3D TVs actually had a difference in viewing experience

Look, I’m looking at reddit posts about niche stuff like a fiend. But when I make a post, I always go here first
I’ve switched, but I haven’t stopped searching old reddit posts. The cache of information is just too rich to pass up.
It’s all about mindset. I’m all in fediverse, despite actually using reddit sometimes. Switching doesn’t mean blocking the entire website

Except you would have only your server to talk with
- Comment on Sony’s TV business is being taken over by TCL 5 weeks ago:
I just want one DP input and I’ll decide how to split my inputs with an outside box. The TV should only decide how to show the picture. I don’t need your YouTube app

If you set a number like 5 million it will eventually reach the middle class. For example, the AMT was created to tax billionaires, but I actually had to pay it one year because I sold some assets. Now middle class people have to potentially do two calculations to see if AMT applies (when you have a one time sale with a capital gain)
Instead of making lots of new rules at random cutoffs, why not just fix the rules we already have?
Repeal the stepped up basis for inheritance, repeal caps on payroll taxes, etc

So we would not be able to have this conversation unless something more decentralized appears

Yes, he pays property tax, but people are suggesting a wealth tax which would be bonkers. He would have to go back to work or seek the house

If your home is paid off you could have over a million already

That’s not true, considering 60% home ownership. How can most homes be owned by billionaires when most people own their homes. Are most people billionaires?

My dad’s house that he bought in 2006 is worth over 1 million, how do you tax that

You’re right, it doesn’t always get it right the first time. But neither do I, so I’m not saving time doing it myself
- Comment on Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage" 1 month ago:
It does offer value. It can code up some simple functions that I would need to spend actual time to write. As an experienced coder, I know what to ask for to get decent results that save me time

The problem is the lack of content, they released very few 3d blue rays
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 1 month ago:
Well, current electric helicopters don’t have a long range. But that’s a 2026 problem, when battery tech improves they can be made just as good. Actually, better, since electric helicopters are quieter
- Comment on What are your technology mispredictions? 1 month ago:
But I still don’t understand why people didn’t Luke them. They were a more immersive experience

My dad’s TV works for everyone, they just need to wear glasses. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want that, it looks cool
