Comment it is much cheaper and faster to build ENR nowaday (Score 1) 75

the article says nuclear is developping but at same time the data they show is mostly a installed base. And as ENR is now much cheaper than nuclear even with some storage, I dont see a huge nuclear power expansion come especially as finding locations suited for Nuclear has become quite complex.

Comment Yes because rear windows are already useless nowad (Score 1) 139

I only use the camera mode in my car, the rear view is quite too small and useless already as they optimized car for aeorodynamic. I would just need improved cameras that adapt better in some conditions like sun reverberating directly. Obviously it is a big change versus old cars.

Comment Re:This is a danger to open source products (Score 1) 172

No, Mozilla has the resources to fix the bugs and also the code is already modern with lots of automated testing so the risk of fixing bug and breaking stuff is much less (and looks like the tool does find vuln but also propose fix and so so it is just not a fuzzer that would inundate the dev) . Changing license or obfuscating code just make it harder initially but bugs will still be found especially if the tools have good skill to understand even obfuscated code. What this mean is unmaintained code (proprietary or open source) are going to be a issue and patch management is also more and more important (because you have to deploy all theses new versions with fixes which is not so easy problem)

yes, in theory but Chinese gov gave them money to dev EV car for the Chinese market and sell at discount oversea. If this kill the market then they increase price, I would not consider it fair. But nonetheless, they are now innovating very fast as they have a big domestic market and Chinese gov went all in with EV. EV cars are de facto simpler and cheaper to build and then require less maintenance. What we start to see in EU is local manufacturer are buying technology or components directly in China to build, tune/test market and sell their own cars. It may (or not) change as local industry is trying to catch up and innovate also. The manufacturing itself can be local or not (as they pay lots of taxes to import from China) but it doesnt change the fact they are ahead at the moment especially in term of batteries.

Comment Re:But EVs make more pollution anyway so this (Score 1) 144

This one is new and so wrong that it can only exist in a forum discussion. So EV do pollute much much less than thermic vehicules and yes the remaining parts are from tires but this is being worked on, EU started measuring this a few years ago asked the vendors to progressively improve on tires (for every car including EVs). Hopefully it will also help other outside EU reduce car pollution and improve healthness.

Comment Re:Not for long. (Score 1) 144

Yes, completely agree, it is easy to charge a EV off peak hours so there is no shortage of electricity in all cases (and TCO is much better in general) . Fuel cost is increasing but also if the situation continue, there could be places (depending on where you live) with regular fuel shortage or with restrictions on how much you can buy.

Comment Re:50/50 it's dead (Score 1) 40

may be, but if situation stay too long, all the rest of manufacturing will be halted anyway so we'll be staying with whatever hardware we have today as it will make all the parts goes up. And it is impacting lots of consumer thing. Let's hope there is solution found because the same who dont want to invest adding capacity are also selling other things which will be impacted so they may not want to keep the situation forever....

Comment big pain (Score 1) 54

it is a big pain, tons of video with a subject made so you clic and that just contain a mix of correct and incorrect informations (and which dont clearly say it is AI generated)
and youtube report button doesnt even have a AI generated/clicbate choice
if they dont act on it, it will kill human content creators as they disappear among those videos and they will not earn enough money to create real content.

Comment Sodium - Ion for cars probably not in 2026 (Score 1) 61

it doenst seem first usage for these new batteries will be cars. They need to sell and test on other things like storage to prove it is safe on the long term. And it is much easier to deploy than on cars. It is probably more around 2030 for cars.
