Technology@beehaw.org•CATL unveils battery with 12-minute charging and 1.5 million mile lifeEnglish
6·2 months agoHere’s a more-recent article then: https://carnewschina.com/2026/01/22/catl-unveils-worlds-first-mass-production-sodium-ion-battery-for-commercial-vehicles/
Public buses in areas of China trialed these batteries and they didn’t live up to their claims which is they can be bought on Alibaba second hand. I don’t have the “energy” to find the articles in English as it’s out the scope of my original comment anyhow. It’s not just claims around CATL batteries, it’s an industry-wide problem.

Technology@beehaw.org•CATL unveils battery with 12-minute charging and 1.5 million mile lifeEnglish
53·2 months agoNo, CATL makes the same wild claims. Just within the last few months they’ve been overselling the capabilities of sodium batteries.
The whole industry is polluted with these fluff claims. Of course we want them to be true, but waiting for results to make noise is wiser.

104·2 months agoIt’s not a “China so it’s bad”. Moreso to do with the fact this Chinese-based industry constantly make wild claims about batteries with zero backups to their claims.
No surprise when people are quick to dismiss a habitual liar.

And careful with those unix systems. Every time someone compiles Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum shaves a raccoon’s ass.
Pretty well. I did have to create an “old-nixpkgs” variable for some of my packages (deadbeef is currently broken in 25.11 and warsow was removed). Rebuilt my configs on my work laptop, gaming desktop, and 1 of my servers without a hitch. Will wait on my DB server until my next offsite backup just in case…
How’d your 25.11 channel migration go, fellow Nix-enjoyer?
Gary Bernhardt’s old talks are a classic. Wish there were more people still doing humorous introspection in the programming landscape like this.

11·5 months agoPeople overthinking this and making so many technical qualifier as to why OP is wrong. It’s just a comparison of two pairs of species that are only a handful of clades removed that share similar body plans. It’s not a correct or incorrect statement. Just OP’s observation.
I don’t see a problem. The broken escalator is still stairs.
Turns out we’re already doing a lot of compression at the file and filesystem level.
