Scam alert! . Called me 1-415-222-9958 claiming to be support - number on my account had been changed. When I asked them to verify they said "look the number up its a twitter support number." Which it is - so they are spoofing that. Sent a password.

So I challenge everyone to imagine this possible future:. 1) 90% of Americans can charge their EV in 10 minutes within 10 minutes of their home.2) There is an EV in each category that is same cost or cheaper off the lot than the ICE version .3) EV can be had with 400-500 miles of.

Turns out a lot. There is a large space of optimization to make. Ohh and I forget Walmart announced that it will install fast EV chargers at thousands of walmart and sams club stores. 90% of americans live within ~10 minutes of a walmart. .

Take a car platform we have plus a battery cell we already make and make a car. The market is now big enough that people can invest in second generation ground-up builds. If we build an EV from scratch and battery chemistry optimized for an EV what can we do? . .

This is a platform shift like the shift from web->mobile. The first mobile games were straight ports. Nobody built "touch first" games because the market was too small. First gen EVs and batteries have all been "straight ports". .

3) CATL and BYD each announced 5 minute charge batteries.4) CATL announced something even more clever: a battery optimized for cost alone at the expense of charge speed. This is a "range extender" battery that only gets used on long road trips. .

no power windows, infotainment, door locks, climate control. single-motor/rear-wheel drive. Small so lighter, means smaller battery. I'd *love* to see a total parts count on this v.s. a F150. 2) Ford announced lithium-manganese batteries with longer range/low costs. .

EVs are the massive disruption staring us in the face. A few things announced in the last week:.1) announced a $20k EV pickup. They've capitalized on the idea that EVs have many fewer parts than ICE vehicles - so why not push that to the extreme: . .

My multi-decade run as extended family IT guy may be at an end. @ChatGPTapp video mode walking me through arcane Windows11 driver and settings debugging was impressive. Amazing work @sama.

Yes we can build stuff in the US.

This work is super cool.

Doing scaling hard tech office hours RIGHT NOW. You can also ask questions here if you have them :).

Demand for inference time compute will be nearly infinite at the right price. That price is chip cost x datacenter cost x cooling/energy cost. Right now #1 is the dominant factor (hello Nvidia!) but will move to #3.

on DeepSeek:. 1) We don't actually know the training costs - likely much higher than reported (still impressive work!).2) The big news is they shared the work so everyone can benefit. Awesome algorithmic improvements that move the field forward.3) Reasoning models use a lot more.

Who are the peeps in climate or vc who are also into surfing? Asking for a friend.

Tsunami warning in Palo Alto - entire bay area is in the "red zone" what are we supposed to do? Scary push alert just says "get away from coastal waters" which isn't really helpful?.
