TechnologyHere’s a more-recent article then: https://carnewschina.com/2026/01/22/catl-unveils-worlds-first-mass-production-sodium-ion-battery-for-commercial-vehicles/
Public buses in areas of China trialed these batteries and they didn’t live up to their claims which is they can be bought on Alibaba second hand. I don’t have the “energy” to find the articles in English as it’s out the scope of my original comment anyhow. It’s not just claims around CATL batteries, it’s an industry-wide problem.
PrivacyI’ve had underwhelming results with pihole. Consider Technitium DNS Server or AdGuard DNS: https://youtu.be/S5D6uksel10
No, CATL makes the same wild claims. Just within the last few months they’ve been overselling the capabilities of sodium batteries.
The whole industry is polluted with these fluff claims. Of course we want them to be true, but waiting for results to make noise is wiser.
It’s not a “China so it’s bad”. Moreso to do with the fact this Chinese-based industry constantly make wild claims about batteries with zero backups to their claims.
No surprise when people are quick to dismiss a habitual liar.
RussiaPowerful stuff to see first-hand. Thanks for sharing.
And careful with those unix systems. Every time someone compiles Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum shaves a raccoon’s ass.
Pretty well. I did have to create an “old-nixpkgs” variable for some of my packages (deadbeef is currently broken in 25.11 and warsow was removed). Rebuilt my configs on my work laptop, gaming desktop, and 1 of my servers without a hitch. Will wait on my DB server until my next offsite backup just in case…
How’d your 25.11 channel migration go, fellow Nix-enjoyer?
ProgrammingGary Bernhardt’s old talks are a classic. Wish there were more people still doing humorous introspection in the programming landscape like this.
Not The OnionThey didn’t get bullied. The letter just notified the company the parcel was returned because the US base complies with the host country’s import customs.

People overthinking this and making so many technical qualifier as to why OP is wrong. It’s just a comparison of two pairs of species that are only a handful of clades removed that share similar body plans. It’s not a correct or incorrect statement. Just OP’s observation.

Turns out we’re already doing a lot of compression at the file and filesystem level.

Since we’re nitpicking the atom thing, also Solomon didn’t split anything. He said cut the baby in half to see the reaction of the women to find out who the true mother was.
If you liked that, you’ll like his “Wat” talk. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat
