  • As bullish as I am on Sodium-ion batteries, only very recently did researchers figure out how to boost the charge capacity, making any attempted commercial models in use so far nice, but not the final form where normies are buying them from Home Depot.

    The Sehol car mentioned is a niche configuration of a common model, because the Li-ion model goes farther between charges. Other than the launch in 2023, and articles recycling the same info, find me 1 article that doesn’t use words like “could” or “will” or “might” about sales of this model? Same thing for the BYD Seagull with Na-ion batteries. It’s all greenwashing news where if you dig at it even slightly, you see how not real any of it is.

    It’s closer than it was 5 years ago, but it’s still not a “revolution” by any means.




  • If you didn’t read the article, the concern is that mid-sized banks have done a lot of lending to outsized customers who have screwed them, and the market is taking this traditional indicator of a traditional bubble, with all the same dynamics as 2008, as a signal of market instability.

    The AI circular economy is not entirely over-leveraged debt. Over-leveraged debt is a very traditional form of economic trouble, so it’s more clearly seen as “oooh, we got some shit going down here!”












  • Grandma, we’re watching things on the internet now. It’s consolidation of the media because those formerly powerful outlets are dying and now these things are cheap.

    This is a Boomer problem, and I’m fucking tired of Boomers running stuff, because they suck at it.

    I propose a Constitutional Amendment that the voting age starts at 18 and ENDS at 70. And that no one over the age of 70 can be elected to anything Federal ever again. That anyone currently in office over the age of 70 be kicked out right the fuck now.

    Then let all the Boomers exist in their paranoid racist little bubble getting scammed and buying pillows and catheters from whoever the TV tells them.
