I do not work frontend and yet, I always end up having to do some CSS here and there.

I have never been happy on how I manage CSS. With tailwind, I am still unhappy about my styles but I can make my ugly UIs faster.

I am incredibly out of the loop in the world of blu-ray. Do you still need to buy a terrible video player to read them legally on windows ? I give so little attention to physical media that I do not even know if 4k blu-ray use the same blu-ray storage format or if it is some sort of upgraded blu-ray with more storage.

The thing is that AI researchers that are not focused on only LLM do not seem to think it is in reach.

I cannot agree more. Since I understand (more or less) how trackers and ETF works, I have a hard time believing economist and economy specialist arguing that you can model human behavior around rationality in an economic system...

Basic big trackers. I understand very well why tracking a country/continent/the world market is a good idea, and that very understanding also tells me It would be as time consuming as a part time job to invest in specific companies.

And Hollywood was created on the west coast because for intellectual property it was still the far west and it allowed them to ignore patents on movie technologies.

The spec sheet on the store is confusing. It says :

Intensity(Ah) Less than 1.5

Tension (V) 3.6

Amperage (Ah) 0.7

Edit : the box indicate 0.33 Kg, the 0.5 weight probably include the charger and other parts.

This summer a French company started to sell sodium ion battery power tool in a major hardware store.

National French research agency announcement: https://www.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/batteries-sodium-ion-une-pre...

The power tool : https://www.leroymerlin.fr/produits/outillage/outillage-elec...

Unfortunately, all I could found about the Wh/kg efficiency was an article about the same company saying they were currently able to build cells at 90Wh/Kg in 2017.

Nevertheless, it's not a promise, it's a product currently on sale.

I did a real internship (as in it was for my diploma and lasted only a few months) in a medical facility operating Big Machines. I remember a guy soldering a new battery to some old DEC/Digital hardware.
