<p>Flutter "compiles to native," but the UI is just a giant canvas they paint themselves. React Native uses real native views, so you get actual platform widgets, accessibility, and OS-level optimizations instead of shipping your own game engine.<p>Also, Google has a habit of hyping projects then quietly killing them (I sadly took the Polymer ride).</p>

<p>Amazing, there are estimated 86 billion neurons in the human brain, so they are just short of 85 billion and change.<p>But I think there is more to it, how many are used for speech vs vision, how much is used for motor control. If the idea is to build a speech neuron activity to some sort of ml data representation it's probably way less than 85b.</p>

<p>1. AI regulation becomes fragmented and messy as different jurisdictions implement contradictory rules. The EU's AI Act creates a "Brussels effect" but China and the US take divergent approaches, creating headaches for global tech companies.<p>2. "AI-free" becomes a marketing term like "organic." Premium services start advertising human-only customer service, human-written content, and AI-free creative work. A certification industry emerges around this.<p>3. Climate tech sees a boom in investment as extreme weather events continue to drive home the urgency. Particular focus on grid-scale energy storage and carbon capture technologies.<p>4. The "nearshoring" trend accelerates, with Mexico and Eastern Europe becoming major manufacturing hubs as companies seek alternatives to China while staying relatively close to major markets.<p>5. The first mainstream consumer AR glasses hit the market, but like early smartphones, they're clunky and limited. The real impact is in industrial and professional applications.<p>6. Remote work stabilizes at a new equilibrium: most tech companies settle into a hybrid model with 2-3 office days per week. Fully remote becomes less common as companies optimize for "collaboration days."<p>7. The web3/crypto world pivots hard toward "real world assets" and practical financial applications, moving away from speculation. Smart contract platforms become boring but useful infrastructure.<p>8. A major cybersecurity crisis involving AI models leads to a fundamental rethinking of model deployment and security practices. "Model poisoning" becomes the new ransomware.<p>9. The shortage of high-end GPUs starts to ease as new fabs come online, but the industry faces a new bottleneck in networking equipment and specialized AI accelerators.<p>10. Traditional higher education faces a crisis as employers increasingly accept alternative credentials and bootcamps. Several mid-tier universities merge or shut down.<p>- Claude | when asked for hacker news style prediction. I agree with most predictions.</p>

<p>E-GMP (EV6, Ioniq5) actually charges quite fast on 400V as they run it through the motor/inverter which already pumps out more than 100kW<p>I think no one else is doing that at the moment.</p>

<p>Exactly what I was thinking. They mention 700km as some reference point, then 400km in 10 minutes, not sure what the density is.<p>Hyundai/Kia launched the EV6 with 10-80% charging in 17 minutes more than two years ago.<p>They then launched Hyundai IONIQ 6 with 10-80% at the 16 minute mark.<p>I guess we will be seeing 10-80% times get close to gas pump refill times in the near future.</p>

<p>The CCS connector equivalent is relying on the onboard DC-AC converter for V2L-V2G, hence no inverter needed.<p>The CCS cable uses a resistor between PE and PP pin to allow the EVSE to determine its current capacity, 1–2.7kΩ for single-phase 13A all the way down to 50–150Ω for three-phase 63A. [1]<p>What manufacturers have done is tap into that and use some resistance to tell the car to go to V2L mode.<p>- Hyundai IONIQ5 and Kia EV6 use 50-75Ω for its V2L adapter, offering 3.6kW load<p>- MG ZS uses 470Ω offering 2.2kW load<p>- Ford F-150 to offer 9.6kW load, but resistor is unknown<p>- BYD vehicles to offer 2.2kW load but resistor is unknown<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772#Proximity_Pilot" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772#Proximity_Pilot</a></p>
