Natural Intelligence has already proposed solutions. The real lie is in expecting us to believe that decision makers would be any more likely to act on the solutions that AI comes up with.

It’s one-sided…

If tv shows have taught me anything, with the right mob connection you can get an exemption to that rule.

That’s $700 for a digital only edition without a disk drive or vertical stand. It’s $810 to match the features of the PS5.0

It would be nice for car keys and other remotes to never run out of battery. This seems like a good convenience technology, assuming it can be brought to market at comparable prices to li ion cells.

It makes me wish that brands weren’t so separated from manufacturing. I hate finally finding something that works for me, ordering what should be the same thing only for something obviously from a different factory with major differences to arrive. It feels like just about everything is white-label these days. White-labeling undermines consumers’ ability to make informed purchases.

No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we’ll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.

The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.

If you don’t care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.

This article talks about albedo but ignores changes in the water cycle. I wouldn’t take its results at face value.

You can’t harvest energy from a static magnetic field without putting more work into it than you get out. This harvests fluctuations in the magnetic field that are given off by high power electronics like motors. This isn’t free energy, it’s recollecting a small amount of wasted radiated energy.

I originally thought it was a weird mlm flex, but it seems unlikely they would actually be incorporated.
