- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 6 days ago:
At least memory is soldered on because of high throughout they say.
- Comment on Does AI detect breast cancer better than doctors can? 1 week ago:
I remember, when were learning prolog, that in the 70s, or something like, that they were already experimenting with AI and it was quite good at diagnostics. However doctors were scared of losing jobs instead of embracing it and using it as a tool. So they dropped it at the time. Hopefully they will use it as an additional tool this time and everybody profits.

That ring, it feels nice to kiss it - Tim Apple
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 3 weeks ago:
I’d certainly hope for RISC-V. Perhaps now that we have a little bit more of an incentive, we will make some progress.
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 3 weeks ago:
But outside of TSMC it looks like just Samsung competing in the space, as you said Intel miles behind and AMD sold off all it’s fabs
Not sure how it is going, but Chinese are also pouring a ton of money into bleeding edge class processes by using an alternative technology than ASML (for obvious reasons). Will try to find the link somebody posted.
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 3 weeks ago:
Yep, and that’s a biggly problem. If EU AI becomes a threat (or perceived threat) to US economic and other interests (and especially when orange is in charge), they would slap tariffs at those at least. If not forbid export.
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 3 weeks ago:
And on what EU hardware it will run?
- Comment on Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway 4 weeks ago:
Even with Linux it wouldn’t be that safe, if apps were doing this crap.
- Comment on US bans controversial red food dye, decades after scientists raised alarm 1 month ago:
It’ll take at least until 2028 apparently. That’s really late.
- Comment on Polish president says don't arrest Netanyahu at Auschwitz ceremony 1 month ago:
Hey, perhaps they merely want to show a genocidal leader in person.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 month ago:
Hydro is more or less constant and wind is random. How does one cover a huge amount of solar energy when it’s out? You can’t increase hydro and you can’t force wind to blow.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 month ago:
Well, I doubt it a bit how much pumped hydro capacity is there in Portugal, but you’d need an obscene capacity if you wanted to go full renewable partially based on solar panels. Found this by quick search:
"However, the dependency on electricity imports from Spain will increase significantly, especially in drier years. " www.sciencedirect.com/…/S2352152X24037800
Basically you’d be using Spain as energy source when you don’t have enough energy at hand.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 month ago:
Other things run through night such as heat pumps, water heaters, EV charging etc. And those other sources are usual fossil fuel based which emit a lot of pollution and CO2. And it doesn’t work that well in other countries when you reach a threshold.
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 month ago:
There are those things called nights, clouds and shorter winter days 🤷♂️
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 month ago:
Where is even coming from when there is no sun?
- Comment on Renewables supply 71% of Portugal’s electricity in 2024, led by solar 1 month ago:
Not so high without an adequate storage.
- Comment on Trump says Zelensky is ready for 'deal' with Russia 2 months ago:
I’m looking forward to January, 17th to wake up with news that 3 days special op ended. /s
- Comment on Framework laptops get modular makeover with RISC-V main board 3 months ago:
Fingers crossed for RISC-V to evolve quickly to at least a decent alternative to current laptop/desktop CPUs.
- Comment on 'UK-first' intercity battery trial train outperforms diesel 3 months ago:
Yes, sure, like every technology out there. But the maintenance is cheap compared to initial investment. I guess one can compare it to batteries having limited cycles, faults and even catch fire.
- Comment on YouTube Premium’s legacy price breaks are going away for more users 3 months ago:
And still no just YouTube subscription (without music) and no family plan for Slovenia.
- Comment on 'UK-first' intercity battery trial train outperforms diesel 3 months ago:
But still, wouldn’t wires over the train make more sense - no distance limits, no charge time, lighter train, no batteries required and perhaps better efficiency. Infrastructure would be one time investment. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Lithium-ion batteries have ruled for decades. Now they have a challenger. | Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a possible alternative. 3 months ago:
I find it hard to believe that they kept 100% charge for years even if perfectly designed. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Lithium-ion batteries have ruled for decades. Now they have a challenger. | Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a possible alternative. 3 months ago:
Yes, please, they are very welcome for large energy storages. And as article states, not for anything that requires energy density (mobile devices, EVs and such).
- Comment on In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily 3 months ago:
How can an article reliable convey information when the core measurement unit used in article is invalid? Not taking about slightly wrong numbers, but the foundation of the article.
- Comment on In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily 3 months ago:
No worries, no need to remove it, it’s just articles that doesn’t make sense.
- Comment on In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily 3 months ago:
Can we please not post such dumb articles? Like any article mentioning battery capacity in watts
- Comment on Solar module manufacturing capacity could exceed 1.5 TW by 2035, says IEA 3 months ago:
Obviously now we should invest in energy storage, otherwise solar modules go just so far.
- Comment on Nevada is getting the world’s first lithium-sulfur battery gigafactory 4 months ago:
Uh, they are less stable that li-ion, like fires? Ouch.
- Comment on Sweden switches on largest battery energy storage system in the Nordics - Energy Storage 4 months ago:
Ha, right. Seems that distinguishing between power and energy is really a hard task (for journalists).
