Or maybe you said something she didn’t like, and now she’s out there to get you. Maybe we’re all on some black list now.

Looking forward to those cheap batteries. It might take a few years to ramp up production, but once that happens, it’s going to be even wilder than it currently is with Li-ion batteries.

Nowadays, we have batteries in a bunch of weird things like earbuds, bluetooth speakers, vacuum cleaners, mice, kitchen scales, and even disposable vapes. When Na-ion batteries get really cheap, we could have even more batteries in everything. This means that all the things that currently don’t use electricity at all, might do so in the future.

That’s just it. Swappable batteries sound really cool and appealing, and I guess that’s why NIO is trying them out. Building that sort of infrastructure is incredibly expensive, and it comes with high financial risks. Finding that kind of money from investors appears to be happening, but I don’t know if they actually have enough runway to make it viable. To me, that sounds like an infrastructure project only a government could do.

The way I see it, sodium ion batteries look really promising in many applications where size and weight aren’t a huge concern. Obviously, mobile phones aren’t ideal, but bikes and city cars should be fine. Maybe even grid energy storage.

Hasn’t Apple seriously considered the ad business in the past? I think I saw a video about it years ago. Most likely, they will switch their strategy as soon as it makes financial sense to do so.

If you make a bird trivia quiz, you can sneak that answer in and people will pick anything other than the correct answer.

When an owl is injured, the bruise will:

  1. heal within 4.5 hours
  2. look green
  3. smell like lavender

Nah, the idea is that you apply by starting with something small, like mugging. You study with the best for a few semesters, do your time, and get released early. When you graduate, you’re ready to start your assassination business.

It’s the university for criminals. How do you expect anyone to pull off a an elaborate bank heist, or build a drug cartel. You need experienced professional criminals for that.

If there’s a bias in the training data, you’ll find the same bias in the generated output.

Thanks. Was fun to read that. The early days of the Internet were truly magical.
