Technology@beehaw.org•Trump Is Launching an AI Search Engine Powered by Perplexity
5·8 months agoThe situation on the ground is rarely reflected accurately on the internet. We are organizing. We are disrupting. Do you think the black-baggings in L.A. just dropped off by accident? That’s been a combined front of legal and quasi-legal activity. When we’re up to something good, you probably won’t hear about it. The news doesn’t like those stories, and we don’t exactly advertise.
We’re also marching. The news covers that because it’s uncontroversial.

Technology@beehaw.org•New breakthrough may let us charge smartphones in 60 seconds
1·2 years agoYeah, no. This is not about chargers or batteries or phones or cars. This study is about improved charge/discharge rates for supercapacitors.
Supercaps have very high flow rate, but extremely low capacity. Put them in a phone or a car and it would run very fast for five minutes. Supercaps are useful, don’t get me wrong, but they’re not batteries.
Very cool research from UC Boulder, but the journalism leans way too far into clickbait.

Spoiler: sadly not true. EO 10834 (called out in 4 USC SS5) specifies placement and proportions and colors of all elements.
