Reply to A new lithium-air battery design promises unprecedented energy density | A potentially transformative technology for electrifying transportation by chrisdh79
TL;DR The new battery claims potential for 1KWh per kilogram.
Context: gas is about 12 or 13 kwh/kg
Li-ion batteries are about 0.25kwh/kg

My opinion.
AI should be train on language models, object recognition, etc.
Then, take the basic AI and incorporate that ability to learn, disable network connections, and distribute them to people so each AI learns about the world alongside their fleshy counterpart.

Reply to TIL in the 1970s, artist Andy Warhol thought that his artwork wouldn’t go up in value after his death. In May of 2022, Warhol’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe sold for $195 Million - making it the most expensive American artwork ever sold at auction. by waitingforthesun92
Rich guy auctions painting. Buys it back for a ridiculous sum, then donates the painting. Instant tax writeoffs, and a national think piece about the art to inflate its value. This is tax avoidance. This is not art.

The key is to use it simultaneously and get used to it as an extension of your consciousness.
As for what I would print, monopolar high temperature superconductor electromagnet array. For a fist sized fusion reactor. Might as well go all out.

[What’s new? Existing RT Na-S batteries have had limited storage capacity and a short life cycle, which has held back their commercialization, but there’s now a new kind of RT Na-S battery, developed by Zhao’s team. According to their paper, the device has four times the storage capacity of a lithium-ion battery and an ultra-long life — after 1,000 cycles, it still retained about half of its capacity, which the researchers claim is “unprecedented.”]
I'm sceptical. Li+ batteries have expected life of 500 to 1200 cycles, before dropping below 70% charge. The capacity could refer to useful energy though. Li+ can only be discharged to 70%, where Na chemistry allows for full discharge. The problem is that voltage drops with the capacity, so although you could use them down to 0% charge, they won't necessarily be useful.
Still, if they turn out functionally similar, a cheaper construction would be an advantage.

The reason Optimus is not comparable to other robots is because for those robots, their behavior is preprogrammed. Optimus uses an AI to dynamically respond to environmental stimuli.
That is the game changing technical feat. And tesla has been working on AI for their cars, so they are leaps ahead of most companies that may try to compete.
