@ndrewwang but for heat capacity

Huff’s Naberstone looks to be related to a thermal insulating foam and various nanotech particles

Everything is batteries

@zhigangsuo If I had seen this yesterday, it would have been the most important thing I learned all year. Today it sets a high bar for '26

At a holiday party, someone brought roast duck. It was a hit of the party. The duck was bought from Costco, fully cooked and frozen. I’ve tried it myself today. The package came with instructions for heating, but I just heated it with microwave. Highly recommended!

my TL here is a shantytown. woof.

'“Even rare vaccination-related harms, both known and unknown, now have a higher chance of outweighing potential benefits in non-high-risk populations,” he wrote in the documents overriding the staff members on the Novavax shot' nytimes.com/2025/07/02/hea… Where's the data on this?

If somebody’s pitch is “lithium doesn’t work. the only answer is my technology,” Run. There can be advantages to using other chemistries, but lithium scarcity is not an issue, nor is lifespan or safety for LFP. Claims that a tech is going to be “cheaper than lithium in 5 years” never seem to account for what lithium batteries will cost - in 5 years. LFP is already cheaper than the future projections for most of the alternatives. Some people have never heard of CATL and it shows.

I get a lot of accounts reposting things I say about batteries to try and shill battery stocks. Batteries are inevitable. Your stock pick is not.

the TL screams: "vibes don't care about your feelings"

After this year's @Columbia_EEE senior dinner, I am psyched for the future. We're in great hands with these engineers.

@undalogic absolutely psyched for this!

The White House just released this #page=1.00" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl… I asked Grok if this was reasonable. Here's what I got. x.com/i/grok/share/a…

New pet peeve unlocked: people who say "but" when the context requires an "and", implied or otherwise.
