New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Maybe, the most complex, energy-intensive, and powerful technology we’ve developed shouldn’t be virtually free to use?

When the AI bubble pops the frontier labs will be okay, the chip makers will be okay, the data centers will be okay, but AI will get a lot more expensive to use.

Opinion | There Are Two Economies: A.I. and Everything Else

"A credible estimate suggests that AI capital expenditures may reach 2 percent of the gross domestic product in 2025, up from most likely less than 0.1 percent in 2022. To provide some sense of scale, that means the equivalent of about $1,800 per person in America will be invested this year on AI."

Couldn't take Chicago, so he's going after Portland. Like a high school bully that got bodied by a wrestler so he tries to take it out on a theater kid. Pathetic.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional
