How does the fast charging affect the life and long term performance of the battery?

Market manipulation.

Although, it seems like the markets have started to get a sense of this as well and are not so swaying.

I think the nature of war has changed. A slow moving swarm of drones, will keep large Aircraft carriers well outside the range of their fighter jets.

A nation can swarm an aircraft carrier with a 1000 drones, each costing about 40k USD. Only a few are needed to seriously damage the carrier. Not to mention ballistic missiles.

In this scenario, does a US massive, slow moving aircraft carrier possibly carrying hundreds of billions of assets really work ? Can the US meaningfully project power with these?

In this scenario, who holds more power or leverage ?

An aircraft carrier can project power within 500 miles. The idea is to use a few of these to knock out the air power of the opposing nation, basically airfields, missile stockpiles, factories, power infra, etc. And then drop in a ground invasion force.

Does this now work? I dont think so. 10 drones can be launched from the back of a truck.

The US Navy has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve apart from aircraft carriers. Just one publicly known that immediately comes to mind: amphibious assault ships, which can launch/land F35s.

A bunch of drones can’t be sent to knock out the American president and all its top generals and intelligence agents.

QED

No need to swarm the carriers. Support craft are far more vulnerable, absolutely required, and low in numbers at this time.

Contrast it with the JCPOA by Obama

https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/joint-comprehensive-p...

Key Aspects of the JCPOA: Enrichment Limits: Iran capped uranium enrichment at 3.67% for 15 years.

Centrifuge Restrictions: Reduced operating centrifuges to 5,060 IR-1 machines for 10 years.

Stockpile Restrictions: Limited enriched uranium stockpile to 300 kg for 15 years.

Facility Redesign: Redesigned the Arak heavy water reactor to prevent plutonium production and converted Fordow into a research center.

Monitoring: The IAEA receives enhanced access and monitoring capabilities.

Sanctions Relief: UN, EU, and US nuclear-related sanctions were lifted, restoring Iranian oil sales and banking access.

While since Trump dropped that deal, Iran had enriched around 440kg to 60%. Nobody knows for sure where any of that is.

So much winning.

yep, the US fucked up by not properly ratifying the JCPOA

tearing it up and pissing all over it led directly to this quagmire

Because all the variables that go into performance / efficiency measurement of a model (processing power, algorithm efficiency, parallelization, etc) boil down to cost per token input and token output. And the tangible cost for a datacenter is power consumed. Of course, amortized capex costs are also part of the game.

I guess the idea is to create pressure on the US govt. And it will only happen when the elites assets are damaged.

They did the same with US companies in the Gulf region, and then followed through with attacks on Oracle and Amazon data centers.

This strategy absolutely works.

it "works" while nuclear armaments are not used. And it may happen. Iran is very well geolocated to become 1st ever "nuclear war exclusion zone".

I used Sony ear buds. Never once have I had any issues with it.

Charging is a minor inconvenience, but the freedom of not having tangled mess on my hands when I work while I speak is much more worth it.

I suspect the vat majority of these wired ones are for use during online video calls on office computers and laptops.

I was on the prowl for a new DB Management tool, after pgAdmin 4 shifted to their web based client crap.

I never came across this. Found DBeaver and using it since then.

For technical reporting, I recently started using html and print media css.

The system is flexible and simple.

Used TeX for the same and had to lose sanity for it to even work semi well.

This is the inflection point for the beginning of culling of the intellectual class. If not physically, atleast economically and socially.

A few arrests and a few in detention centres, will be enough to make them fold and grovel.

They are now categorised as "radical left" and woke.

The elections will be controlled to "prevent the radical left take over of the greatest country on the planet".

edit : The stage is also being set for total media control. My prediction is that the next target will be Google, specifically Youtube. You should start seeing talks about how the radical left is inflitrated youtube.
