The difference between a matrix and a 2d array of numbers is the operations that are performed

A tensor really isn’t standardized in the same way so it’s basically just an n-d array in my mind

Oh fuck, looks like I gotta switch again…

Lots of firefox mentions, no mention of Vivaldi tho…?

Yeah, Papa Et Al registered Et Al as his family name, and combined names when he got married

Common misunderstanding - her full name is “Jessica McCarty Et Al”

Offshore to Svalbard

Ooh, I can finally short!

So basically we didn’t have a material that could function as a cathode until now?

Fair point - I’m not really that good with the physical sciences personally so apologies for my ignorance

We had a shortage in Canada… but after looking into it, it appears to have been caused by a labour strike. LOL

That’s a capitalism problem, not a resource problem. All resources require labor to harvest, renewable or no.

expand and improve public transit dammit!

Currently living in Shenzhen and you’d be surprised that you can actually have it both ways. You can get around via transit quite easily, but also driving isn’t too difficult. The problem with US cities is mostly just single family homes, which waste a bunch of space. If everything is less dense, you have to drive further to get to where you want to go, and building public transit makes less sense since it needs to service more areas to reach the same amount of people

Yeah, I’m quite curious myself as to why it’s more difficult. My chemistry knowledge is chem1 level so all I know is that sodium atoms are larger and the energy levels for state change are slightly different

I find it interesting that, on a post about sodium ion batteries, your comment completely excludes them

Ah shit, I googled the number but it looks like I got the number for a battery in an internal combustion engine car, apologies. I’m an electronics person, not a car person

Oh so cool! Are you native Morocco, or just visiting? I hear people there are so nice

Well, online English speaking communities are gonna have a bias towards native English speakers. Obviously some will browse these communities because they’re the largest, but while machine translation makes communication much easier, it’s still more difficult than with speakers of your own language. And most native English speakers who aren’t also native speakers of a language mutually intelligible with Hindi live in north America. (I’m excluding South Asia because a sizable fraction of the online South Asian communities communicate in the pre-colonization languages, mostly Hindi). Most such people have a shared cultural heritage that is largely European with a British slant.

When you think about it it’s not an unreasonable question, when you interpret it to be asking how many of us are outside of the cultural influence of the anglosphere

Oof, get well soon!

Yeah I went out, pretty much everything was open except for the street vendor I normally get my oranges from. I guess Christmas just isn’t as big a deal in China as it was back home - still saw Christmas decorations at a handful of stores and restaurants - my tea said on the cup “Merry Christmas” and had an explanation of what Christmas was on the back lol

I’ve been surprised by USB-C. I recently bought a Xiaomi phone and it takes like 10 minutes to charge with the charger that comes with the phone (and it still works with the other ones). It’s 120 watts

At that rate it’d still take 12 hours to charge a 1440 watt hour battery, which isn’t the hour or two that people are used to with superchargers these days, but actually surprisingly servicable.

In the US, the Government does not represent the people, but those who buy elections. The people who buy elections have no incentive to change anything, and nothing will change in absence of a violent communist revoution
