It's only rolling out in past 1-2 days, and also English speaking users are already running low on sanity from being constantly exposed to Japanosphere norms. We'll see how long this experiment is going to last...

But the en:ja ratio is like 5:1. Real population ratio between us:jp is like 3:1, and on Twitter it's more like 1.5:1 by active user count. This means Bluesky is less popular in Japan than it is in English speaking regions.

yes, and... would be more appropriate than "but"

Our points are not mutually exclusive. Thanks for adding more insight. Is your bsky ratio based on actual users or the data at the link? (which is posts by language) Are there similar content stats for the site formerly known as Twitter?


All the numbers I based above comment were either from that link and/or quickly googlable data, nothing special.

There's no robot that aren't built around hardcoded algorithms.

They use neural networks these days, which is just a different kind of hardcoded algorithm, that require bazillion node-hours on NVIDIA GPUs to compile instead of requiring humans doing diagrams with pens and paper. The resultant binaries are still 100% static and hardcoded.

Some humanoid demos incorporate LLMs. So what. GGUF is always static. They don't change or improve as you interact them. So still 100% hardcoded.


All those car companies use A LOT of robotics, automation, and simulation to build cars. They just don't seek for an autonomous sentient humanoids as means to it.

They all have their own predecessors to things like NVIDIA Isaac used for things like worker toolpath planning or for absorbing worker height variances. They just don't use artificial robots with those systems, but use human laborers.

Anyone with even workshop level knowledge or experience in robotics knows we are minimum one whole decade away from humanoids building cars, let alone economically, and there's not going to be much first mover dominance advantages carrying over from doing pre-viability humanoids.

And so they just, keep raking in money from robotics assisted and hand built hybrid cars. Some more some less.


First thing that came to my mind from title: how much flat parking lots there are in Korea, in the first place?

SK has population density of 530/sqkm(1.4k/sqmi), which is literally 14x over the US(37/sqkm or 96 sqmi). So I think it's likely that a lot of their public parking locations would be already in airport style multi level ordeal, and if so, erecting solar panels can be just the matter of laying out panels on already existing and likely less utilized top floor.


Aren't those just regular Li-ion with thickened electrolyte solution? There seem to be some noises around "almost solid" batteries pushing the definition of the word "solid".

The real production solid states are made with inorganic materials, many not in pouches nor cylinders, and has wild environmental resistance like supporting charges in -55 to +125C(-70 to +260F) which won't be possible with most water inside.


One of the recent high temp tests showed a degradation in capacity that is supposedly [0] strongly consistent with solid state tech. I'm not qualified to know better unfortunately.

Can't they irradiate tanks of H2 or something with so much neutrons and electrons until morale improves and they become He? Or would that make radioactive He?

It would make it hard to spot impostor domains like "news.усомbiнаtor[.]сом" if it was. There's enough inertia for FQDNs to be strictly ASCII and any UTF-8(outside ASCII) in domain names to be felt unnatural for an URL, so most systems default to the raw "Punycode" xn-- scheme for all IDNs.

Safari at least shows the proper マリウス.com - I believe it has more complicated heuristics that boil down to "if it looks like a real script, show it, if it looks like some mangled English, show the xn-"

I don't think it's so odd, very few products above ~$50k have final prices listed for anyone to buy 1-click.

Workstations above 50k are not that uncommon.

Older xeon based workstations easily reach that number.


If you put a 50 or 80K workstation in the HP store, it will say:

"Purchasing limit reached. To complete your order and provide you with the best customer experience, please call 1-877-888-8235"
