It's an immature technology. Expect it to be less compact.

OK, but expect the sodium-ion system to take, at a guess, half-again more space. It'll also be heavier, but that doesn't really matter for a fixed installation.

I think his point is probably quite true, but he hasn't proven it. He's surveying a biased sample from an already biased source.

BOTH.

They'll use OpenAI's product.

Ehh...IIUC, it's only in the US market that Honda (and others) are avoiding EVs. And honestly, most people don't have a decent way to charge them.

"aren't vehicles with final assembly in the U.S. free from most tariffs?"

IIUC, no. The vehicle itself may be free of tariff, but the parts aren't. And the parts need to be imported. I could well be wrong about that, but that's the way I understand it. https://www.supplychaindive.co...

Actually, I've no opinion about Trump's relationship with Epstein. I despise Trump for other reasons, so I haven't bothered to look at *that* evidence.

I didn't see mention of what the license would be. Open Source doesn't mean you're allowed to modify the code.

Actually, this is a problem being worked on by everyone working on robots. And LOTS of progress is being made, though it's usually not described in quite the terms used here.

IIUC it's not "if it's of value in the game" but rather "if it can be sold for money". I'll admit I'm not quite sure what "money" means in that context, but it is "something of value outside the game".

The problem is that you *can't* do "strict, rigorous, in-depth testing", You can test the places you expect it might fail, and as systems get more flexible even that becomes iffy. That method works for small pieces of code. Perhaps an AI could test all possible failure paths...but then the problem becomes the spec that the AI used.

"Proving code correct" is impossible, because you can't prove that the specs you work from will produce the desired result. One of the problems with AI is that it DOES work from the specs, but without common sense. (I'm ignoring things like "hallucination", as I'm talking about more basic problems.)

So you need a wide test set, but you also need to check the code, using both skill AND common sense. And sometimes the basic problem is the specs.

I think it's real. This isn't the first time I've heard about it. So far it hasn't been practical. If this one actually works, trusting it is going to depend on trusting the implementation, not on understanding or auditing it.

The troll mod may be unfair. he may actually believe that. Many do. But I don't think it has ever been true. I believe that at one point Switzerland was the safest place on earth, bar a few small pacific islands.

Read some news that isn't based in the US. Even Canadians are worried.
