@pluralistic sodium-ion probably wins the long race, but lithium-ion won't go down fast. Lithium is about as common as lead and just as easy to recycle. Once we get to some volume in use, recycling will become the biggest lithium source, like steel (40%-70% from scrap) or asphalt (99% from recycled pavement)

@NicksWorld Oh yeah I did that, that's cool.
Unlike a fossil fuel economy, a cleantech sector does not require that your country have access to some difficult to find, unevenly distributed reservoir of old dead shit or even rare minerals. Not only is lithium far more common than once believed, it's also being phased out for use in batteries and replaced by sodium, the world's sixth-most abundant element:

@mattblaze I'm curious about how they made it to the coast quickly enough to confuse historians.
@indyradio I also associate them with Capone-era Chicago gangsters, maybe sans the bright colors.
Banks seek to offload risk to avoid ‘choking’ on data centre debt: Global lenders explore private deals and risk transfers to cut exposure to AI boom
what this means is packaging up the data centre loans like toxic waste bombs, pre-Global Financial Crisis style

... Have you tried being more flattering and syncophantic? It seems to work.
@Orb2069 you're absolutely right! (now give me money)

Why I hope the @erpu succeeds: we don't need "any train travel" between #european regions.
We need is mostly reliable, easy to book, long distance train travel a single parent *dares* to take with a toddler.
The type of travel where a train company is liable of truly, and actively, help you out during calamities. Taking in account your circumstances. And them cancelling trains.. is a calamity.
If that is secured everyone else will be fine as well.
And we're inside the ComfortJet from Hamburg to Copenhagen (Kolding..)!
The little Hobbit is still a bit sick so I don't expect to do much of a review.
For now though: comfy seats, functional info system, lots of luggage space and a truly surprising amount of legroom. It's not often you can have a folded stroller in front of your legs.
Basically: #DSB sell or repurpose your Talgo units and order a couple of these things right now! Your passengers demand it!
i really need to write something about "agentic payments"
the whole payments sphere is gaga for AI agents
and blithely constructs towers of hypecrafting
that ignore the minor material detail that AI agents don't fucking work and AI agents keep fucking up if you let them near actual money
I keep thinking of the people (I think about a year ago or so but it's probably still happening) who asked ChatGPT to order them something from Starbucks and then it responded that it did and they can go pick it up in 10 minutes at which point they would go and get angry at a barista for not having the order ready

@davidgerard Thanks for the archive. Who will pay for the power those datacenters use? Here is another late reminder that cities need to own and control their use of power. I will of course boost this, if only because it includes an archive link.
@indyradio these things have every problem you can think of, these loans are *bad* and will default, the banks *know* this, and they're working out who to fob the toxic waste off onto
There's a fallacy, I call it the "but they consented" fallacy, there's probably a better term
You see it in convos around informed consent for clinical trials or to tech stuff
Where people justify lowering standards for something (increasing risk, making something worse, etc) by saying that they're just giving people more choice or something
But most people don't actually think they're consenting to something *that bad* even if you tell them explicitly beforehand
@NicksWorld Just curious how did you fix it?
@hipsterelectron @fiore i think kde highlighting is a reasonable middle ground between language availability, results, complexity, etc
@hipsterelectron they predicted the decline in lithium battery life before lithium batteries were even rechargable.
@meluzzy so weird that lithium is also a medication. wonder if there's a lithium goddess
