- Comment on Some Reddit users just love to disagree, new AI-powered troll-spotting algorithm finds 3 hours ago:
So if you look at my comment history at Reddit you would find few “totally agree, here’s an upvote” comments and a lot “I totally disagree with this statement” type of comments. Not because I was trolling. I just find “you’re so right” type of comments boring. I don’t know what the “move on without waiting for replies” part implies. Who waits for replies on reddit? Do they mean they just never reply bak? If so that’s also not typical trolling.

Disagreeing is not trolling. I hate post where everyone just comments the same thing. It’s has no value, it’s boring.
When people have different opinions and exchange ideas it gets interesting.

- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
The point is to limit time spent using Windows. Some people can take it down to 0%, others can’t. Spending 10% less time on Windows still let’s you learn about Linux and try different things. In couple of years you could change jobs or software and make it 50% Linux, then 90%… Not switching because you can’t immediately make it 0% windows, 100% Linux is basically saying “I would switch but it would require effort on my side and would be inconvenient”.
And yes, you’re right, it doesn’t make you lazy, sorry for that. It just means that you’re not really that bothered by using Windows and avoiding it is not worth the effort for you. It’s fine, just be honest about it.
- Comment on Windows Is Adding AI Agents That Can Change Your Settings 1 week ago:
About 20 years ago I would handle my email, IRC, watching movies and web browsing on Linux and each time I wanted to play Counter Strike I would reboot and switch to windows. After I was done with CS I would boot back to Linux. People who say they can’t use Linux because X doesn’t work there are just lazy.

- Comment on Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this" 2 weeks ago:
Agree with everything (especially the 10 x 500kW > 6 x 1MW part), I’m not saying building out the infrastructure will not happen, I’m just saying that it will be difficult and what I see in real world is far from the ideal you’re describing. On any longer travel I have to pass through low travel areas. Entering cities to charge is impractical because getting in and out can take 0.5-1h. The chargers are still unreliable so planning a longer route is not easy. I have to carefully check the chargers maps, looking at the distances between each charger and possible backups. 99% of people are not going to do this. Until a big. reliable network of fast chargers exists they will just stick to gasoline cars (or protest if you force them to switch). And building such networks is a slow and expensive.
- Comment on Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this" 2 weeks ago:
I see couple other problems:
- you need to put some of the chargers in the middle of nowhere (next to a highway, hundredths of km from big cities. in Spain for example there’s a lot of depopulated areas). Building all the infrastructure to get the power there will be very expensive
- even in cities changing the grid like that can be very difficult. My office wanted to put 10 slow (20kW) chargers in the office and it took a year for the power company to make the necessary changes.
- at a gas station it’s hard to break the gasoline supply. Individual pumps can break but the supply is very robust. If anything at the 1MW charger breaks (lines, transformer, converter) the entire things goes out of service and will take hours/days to fix. Building those charges to be as reliable as gas stations will be difficult and expensive.
The charging times are not about how long do you have to wait while your car is charging but how many cars can you charge at peak hours. Last Easter in Spain there were huge lines to the charges because everyone was driving at the same time and there were simply not enough chargers. 5 min vs 10 min charging means the line is moving twice as fast.
- Comment on Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this" 2 weeks ago:
Ionity has 300kW chargers in Spain but there are pretty rare. 50kW-100kW is most common here. Rolling out 1MW network will be very slow due to all the infrastructure it requires and judging by the prices of 150kW chargers, charging at 1MW speeds will probably be more expensive than gasoline. But in the end that’s the only way to actually replace gasoline cars so they will have to build it eventually. My guess would be 10-15 years before you can reliably (as in network big enough that you can easily find working chargers) charge at those speeds.
- Comment on Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this" 3 weeks ago:
Interesting, I’ve found this quote:
“Unlike regular EV chargers, these new high-powered units can’t simply be installed anywhere, as they demand substantial electrical capacity to operate at full capacity. They may require more direct access to high-voltage mains, limiting their deployment to locations with robust grid infrastructure.”
I thought getting a 1MW connection to the grid is pretty much impossible for a charger. I wander if we’re going to see this in Europe.
- Comment on Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this" 3 weeks ago:
Charging this fast is always battery to battery, right? Any idea how many cars can the BYD charger charge before going back to a normal speed (i.e. getting power from the grid)?

- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 3 weeks ago:
And I find watches with analog (non perpetual) dates useless because they will randomly jump a day at the end of the month so I can never really trust them.
- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 3 weeks ago:
I definitely don’t love the look. There are tons of better looking watches but analog perpetual calendars are crazy expensive, classic digital watches are ugly and smart watches have to be charged regularly. The only other brand I was considering was Festina but their connected watches are huge. It’s crazy but g-shock was the only thing I found that had digital date in dd/mm format and didn’t have heart rate monitor.
- Comment on In the not too distant past this was a thing 3 weeks ago:
After something like a year of searching I finally got:
- solar powered, I never have to charge or change battery
- analog face with digital date, no need to adjust the date every month but looks good
- date in dd/mm format
- no GPS, no hear rate monitor, no notifications
Couldn’t find anything else that would tick those boxes.
