People don't pay enough attention to battery technology innovations

People don't pay enough attention to battery technology innovations

ML models have been used in many contexts for a decade now successfully. We have seen AI models creating improvements in fields like healthcare. LLMs can also be useful. But I agree the average person lumping everything into "AI" leads to poor discussions.

Inspired by today's plane ticket: instead of saying I'm 30, I'm going to say I'm 29B.

People's zealous complaints about AI and water and many other made up claims feels like anti-vaxxers 2.0. Just letting people with Facebook meme energy make things up.

This is a good article about why AGI is the wrong way of looking at things timdettmers.com/2025/12/10/w...

I have a grim prediction that by next summer Republicans will start blaming immigrants and their electricity usage on high prices.

I still can't believe they just replaced Lionel Jefferson and expected us to just not notice.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS It's snowing 😀

People complain about how bad software has gotten but they do point out in this episode that OCR was once a computing problem that I studied in college but now is just solved.

I didn't have time to play this last night but I had a dream I was playing it. It was a lot of fun but challenging.

I just want a dog that glows in the dark

The problem with saying 140K = poverty is that 140K puts you in the top 0.5% globally and around the top 3% nationally. This lifestyle which is definitely not ordinary.

This is fine. We don't need to manufacture RAM. We're in the 21st century. Just download more if you need it.

I'm going to tera my Kilowattrel and have it use Gigavolt.

Ignorance isn't going to help residents. Even if the buyers don't know the risks, the insurers are still going to know.

They're calling this guy who's enamored with small businesses a communist?

It's amazing that in 1982 Gary Larson predicted that a Zohran would come from a foreign place to have a prominent role in NYC

Learning that Annemarie Gray (no relation) of Open New York, NYC's YIMBY group, has been appointed to Mayor-elect Mamdani's housing transition team. This is FANTASTIC news!

A liberal approach to technology would be encouraging open standards and open source

Antisemitism exists and is bad, but it seems like every interviewer gets into this topic with Mamdani. I want more interviews about his plans to add more bus lanes and housing.

It's good that Trump was charmed by Mamdani and will be less eager to cause much harm to the city but Trump isn't going to be awakened.

This is why I think abundance is an important mindset. Too many agree that other people are forcing scarcity upon us. We need an approach that allows us to accommodate everybody or we will keep fighting over a pie that doesn't grow.

Watched A Taxi Driver tonight. It is fantastic.

We are always coming back to this

I'm watching Inheriting the Wind tonight and it's a good movie. It's hard to imagine evolution being such a legally controversial issue.

Please let this be satire

I'm happy my hometown schools helped the community by organizing for those who lost their snap benefits thewhitonline.com/86052/news/g...

Poor households almost all having a refrigerator is a big economic success.

Total victory for beards

Something I've been working on is a way to turn TikTok recipes into a structured recipe page that my girlfriend can collect instead of scrolling through a grid of video thumbnails.

I bought another bookshelf last year to handle my collection of books. Somehow I'm once again in need of another bookshelf.

Is it possible to move into economic populism without needing to fight a culture war too?

Fantastic news for all New Yorkers. It's time to build. Everywhere. For everyone.

The election results out of NJ are quite surprising. For Cape May to just get barely 50% is astonishing.

Who died and put the Pope in charge of Christian doctrine? The previous pope!

Beards will change your life

I think it's good the mayor of the world's most globalist city is a rootless cosmopolitan

Seems very legit

At a Day of the Dead party tonight. I think we don't really talk enough about how Mexico is, like the US, a bunch of different people and cultures coming together to form a single nation.

A JWST wonder, once again! 🔭 This is the image of the NGC-2440 planetary nebula as seen by the JWST one year ago, that I processed last night! Look how wonderful that thing is 😍 And if you zoom on the centre, you can see a little dot which is suspect is the white dwarf! HD: flic.kr/p/2rCzjR1

People keep saying New York City is safe but there are tons of ghosts wandering the streets

Mamdani seems set to win in New York. He has charisma but I don't think his victory works well outside of New York. There aren't many places where the majority of residents rent and a majority of residents take public transit.

Really this is overpromising. You can't just throw money at states and collapsing towns. Federal healthcare already throws a ton to rural communities and it's not enough.

It's amazing how solar really snuck up on us

Cloud services are concentrated because apps like Signal choose not to spend the billions on their own data centers. And who'd want to? Infrastructure is expensive and low-margin. But the alternative is that apps like Signal wouldn't exist. Can there be a better way?

I agree with @chriscoyier.net there are a lot of great reasons to build a website. And with modern web hosting platforms it's easier than ever to do it. frontendmasters.com/blog/50-reas...
