The theoretical maximum for the mentioned cell is around 32-33%, just a touch higher than the theoretical limit for silicon.

In theory, Waymo should have a very up to date map of lanes and should be able to very precisely triangulate where it is, so with snow covered road markings it may still do better than humans.

I got it within the last hour, it is still rolling out.

Apple uses some 3d printed components at volume, i.e. the ultra 3 and 4 watch cases.

There are a number of reasons why lithium batteries may catastrophically fail and catch fire. Dendrite shorts is one, another reason is poor alignment of the layers during assembly, allowing for eventual shifting of layers leading to internal shorting. Another is conductive or sharp debris getting into the battery during manufacturing, and after a while the anode/cathode separator getting pierced by the debris. Lots of reasons!

I don't think that is very true in this day in age. Here in Cincinnati, the vast majority of houses now have fiber run to them. There are still some stragglers, but that's mainly because slumlord apartment owners don't feel like dealing with upgrades.

This is effectively how hot swapping is done for may modern systems. It seems counter intuitive to call it hot plugging, but it’s what you’ll find if you look up “hot swap controller”.

> what? These are telescopes, not telephones. There’s a very small amount of scientific grade ones in existence and they are all different.

Have you not been following modern satellite and telescope bus architectures? Both planet and spacex have been using this model to great effect over the last decade.

I believe google/waymo uses Swiss Re for reinsurance, so you are correct.

There are surgical scalpels that are ultrasonic, and they are incredibly sharp when activated. They can cut through skin and tissue like butter!

I had the same experience reading neuromancer in the last year. I felt like I got the vibe of what was going on, but struggled to understand the details and figure out what was actually happening in the story.

Children are one of the high risk populations for flu. That is why kids are a priority of flu vaccines.

> We could "solve" the problem like Singapore or China (some of these 'many countries'), and simply throw everyone in jail for petty crimes.

This clearly isn’t true, as the US has a per capita prison population four to five times that of China & Singapore! We jail far, far more people than they do.

The Android on chip AI is and has been leagues better than what is available on iOS.

If anything, I think the upcoming iOS AI update will bring them to a similar level as android/google.
