  I recently saw a video of AI designing an engine, and then simulating all the toolpaths to be able to export the G code for a CNC machine. I don’t know how much of what I saw is smoke and mirrors, but even if that is a stretch goal it is quite significant.

  Make whatever game you want and charge whatever you want for it. Ima just wait until it shows up on sale for $30 or less tho. Cuz I’m cheap… and patient.

  In my teens I watched NBA basketball religiously. In my twenties I was a huge MLB fan. In my 30s I watched the NFL every weekend. In my 40s I have athletics daughters and I watch them play and I also watch women’s soccer. Does it help that the US women are a dominant force in the international area whereas the men are just “no longer a joke”. Yes, yes it does.
  When my highschooler was younger we’d go watch the Washington Spirit at the Soccerplex in Germantown. It sat about 4,000. This summer I travelled back to the US and caught a Spirit game in the new stadium in Baltimore. Holy shit what a big difference. The crowd now had 19,000 in attendance.

  So one of the disadvantages of Lithium-Ion batteries is its reactivity and proclivity for explosions/thermal runaway.

  I would imagine sodium is even more reactive, no? Might be worth the engineering/safety challenges if the storage is better/comparable, and the cost is cheaper.

  So am I to take it from your inference that the Russian Lemmy site is called Lemmygrad?
