Qwen is very much censored. Just try asking it about Tiananmen or how to build a bomb. But it is nice that you can experiment with it locally without having to worry about your account getting nuked

The battery linked in the article ( https://eu.ecoflow.com/products/stream-series-solar-battery ) advertises a 15 year lifespan and 10 year warranty. Personally I would expect batteries to last longer than that but 12 ye

In the U.S. our standard outlets are 120V, so you only get about 1kW or so out of them. Plenty for most people, but annoying if you need >50 miles of range a day, or if you want to boil water in an electric kettle. The situation is much

I agree charging at home/work is best, and ideally we would have ubiquitous slow charging at apartment lots, workplaces, and on the street. But that’s not really realistic right now in the U.S., and more importantly, it isn’t under Tes

What is terrible about charging at home from a regular outlet? As long as you average <50-60 miles a day, like most people, you basically never have to go to fast chargers (or gas stations). It’s amazing.

I’m convinced super-fast charging will be a game changer, because it will eliminate the ~only remaining downside to EVs. If Tesla had charging tech like BYD the market in the U.S. would look very different

Strange way to structure an argument. He seems to be arguing in favor of local models, but most of his examples are reasons local models are bad.

This has already happened in Norway, where 96% of new cars sold are EVs. They didn’t ban combustion but they did support adoption with subsidies and other incentives

For me the killer feature of jj is how much easier it makes rebasing. With git, if I knew a coworker had recently merged changes to a file I’d been working on, I would really dread syncing because I knew there was a good chance I’d get stuc

jj has far fewer warts than git. You don’t have to learn every jj idiom, you just have to find a workflow you like, which you will, quickly, because it’s so easy to use. Personally I don’t know why anyone uses `edit` but if they like it the

Quite a surprising result: “across multiple coding agents and LLMs, we find that context files tend to reduce task success rates compared to providing no repository context, while also increasing inference cost by over 20%.”

The FDA has approved it for men up to age 45. I myself got it in my late thirties at a pharmacy. For one of the shots, the pharmacist hassled me a little, asking if I was high risk, but acquiesced when I told them I was. For the other two,

I think the idea was that it was the sum of all historical profits. Contrast that with valuation, which at best is about the expectation of future profits.

That was $100B in profits, not valuation.
