Yeah, I skipped right past Toyota in my EV search when I learned they weren’t one of the manufacturers with a near horizon for all-electric.

Laughable for chess, but essentially how Steve Mould played tic tac toe using synthesized DNA.

Nice!

The method is something that looks kinda like a pressure washer that pieces the burning battery cell and injects water into it.

Me (interviewing recently): Could I see an example design doc or some code before we discuss your offer? Hiring manager: We don’t do designs, just launch and iterate. And here’s some code, it’s all fully self documenting. Me: Nope nope nope.

Anecdotally I see a lot of Kia and Hyundai EVs around (US NE), and CleanTechnica’s sales numbers seem to back up them being near the top.

Who needs to have their minds changed about this? DHS, local PD, reserve, national guard, etc. And maybe their families/friends if those folks aren’t afraid of them.

So, I think the original comment is right: the most impact would be had if the panel looks like the folks we see using horses to trample protesters (or in military leadership etc). Or like tank-on-Tesla guy.

That said, the conversation’s gotta start somewhere, and I appreciate these folks doing it and putting their names/faces out there in this climate.

I’m just getting:

Please moderate the content of your question before submitting it.

But the article analyses those points and concludes (a) forced labor is bad but not a big part of the finances, and (b) the US does just as much subsidization.

Interesting point about tariffs specifically in renewables:

[Tariffs are] not good interventions if the goal [is] to increase the number of energy jobs in European and American markets. That’s because most clean energy jobs are in deployment and maintenance rather than manufacturing, and since higher costs slow down the rollout of renewables, increasing prices reduces the total number of people working in clean energy (even if the number working in manufacturing increases).

I’m just wishing my utility offered Time of Use rates so I could meaningfully optimize my EV charging and water heating use timing.

Seeing some buttons, at least.

12v battery bluetooth monitor was a great, cheap addition to my previous car. Not sure why something like that hasn’t been built in for decades.

How do hydraulics work on things like this? Is it as simple as an electric fluid pump?

If you haven’t played with Pulumi (for configuring cloud services) and Ansible (for local services, shell commands, apt installs etc) you may enjoy them as a way to capture / re-apply configuration.

I do do interviews too. It’s a lot of time and work. A well designed interview can and should be a realistic, rewarding problem solving session where you get to try out collaboration with potential colleagues.

Cheating leetcode interviews with AI doesn’t seem that innovative to me, just adding dishonesty to a broken practice. Destruction is always easier than creation.

Also, as someone who frequently designs and runs SW interviews, it’s totally possible to run interviews that test actually important SW skills like OO design, error handling, and using APIs, which AIs still fail handily.

If you want to do something cool, make an AI to refactor your codebase for maintainability and security.

Hmm, it’s been a while, maybe I’m misremembering. There were definitely some categories of Plex content not from my library that kept reappearing on the home page of my server, despite trying to get rid of them a few times. Maybe they weren’t actually paid, I just assumed they’d only be pushing something if it was going to bring them more revenue.

The other thing that made me want to jump ship extremely fast was when they started sharing your recently watched items with other users, without asking.
