You must be joking. I’ve turned that off after first month of use. It’s unbearable. “Oh since you are in {place i mentioned a week ago while planning trip but ultimately didnt go} the home assistant integration question changes completely”. Or ending every answer with “since you are salesforce consultant, would you like to learn more about iron smelting?”
I told Gemini I'm a software engineer and it explains absolutely everything in programming metaphors now. I think it's way undertrained with personalization.
So strange. I switched from claude few months ago to gemini3 and didn’t look back. Speed is big one, code quality just vastly better, all while far cheaper. I do need to try latest claude models tho.
I got two Tesla Powerwall 3s partly because I thought the software would be better. Instead, they are extremely buggy and the software has poor functionality. Many of the features are broken. The product feels like a prototype. Grid charging is broken and many of the features related to it don’t do what it says in the app. The batteries regularly do calibration cycles where they dump their entire charge and then stay at 0% charge level for at least 24 hours. When I first got them about a year and a half ago they would do that about once every two weeks, although they have reduced the frequency. I’ve also had issues with them turning on their heaters when it isn’t even cold and draining themselves. You get little to no insight into their operation and need to contact technical support for any little issue. They crash and do a hard reset and shut off the power every so often as well.
I also have built my own offgrid sytems, but sodium is here now, and lithium is not competitive in any metric that counts in a static instalation especialy cost per kw/hr, and will very likely get insured to death as it will never be as safe.
My next system upgrade will be aimed at home power/heat/hot water, shop, and car charging.Possibly with the car charging bieng a discreet system that works at a higher voltage and is all DC.
Sodium I saw some reviews where it expands a lot during charging and long term safety is not as conclusive
Why do you see sodium as an easier choice?
The main fire risk with lifepo4 is the connectors, wires, bms and shut off being suitable for high amp. That would be a risk with anything if not built properly, even without batteries if you wire your house with wrong awg wires
then if you can stay under long enough, the look into electrolights, this is all uni 101 stuff, but it is very clear that lithium is dead for static applications, and lower performance mobile
other words, cost, supply chain strongly favor sodium over lithium
CATL barely started (if at all) volume production. They haven’t even published specs. Even when they ramp it up, it will be like 0.1% of total lfp output.
and in typical China fashion you can bet that actual implimentation is going to scale at a ferocious pace now that first iterations are proving competitive.....
then we could, but wont, get into other significant developments in electric power, solar, battery, etc that will be entering the market, at scale, this year
wink wink
No evidence that they sell your data against their privacy policy has ever come to light, so I think you should probably back that claim with evidence if you think otherwise.
To play devils advocate (i know nothing about discords use of data), isnt it trivial for any corporate counsel make legal statements like this that are not truthful? For example: we dont sell your data... we freely give it to our sister company with a common owner that sells your data.
That’s illegal under CCPA so if they did that to the data any California resident they would be in big trouble. More or less any transfer of data for which the company receives some benefit counts as a “sale” under CCPA.
That's not true at all. I worked with Palantir on a project for a prior company and they'd basically do whatever you wanted if you paid them. They had a very heavy data / "AI" presence and this was years ago. They certainly do not just do integrations.
AEB has been around since ages. Even my 2010 Mazda had it. It's nowhere near Tesla's capabilities tho. Not sure what are you trying to achieve with such dunks?
There’s much more to enjoying cars than speed in a straight line, which I do not disagree at all most EVs are exceptional at.
Booting the go pedal at every stop sign or light just feels like being a bit of a childish jerk after a short while on public roads once the novelty wears off.
