let's make them enjoy it less

maybe because it's not true, at least if what the ex-head writer said on bsky is to be believed.

serious answer: they don't know how to prompt. not that knowing how to prompt makes it look better, but it can at least make it look different. like how google used to give you more specific results if you formulated the query in a certain way.

yeah the swedish name for carbonated drinks is literally kolsyrad, "carbonic acid-ed".

the more co2 we put in the atmosphere, the more carbonated the oceans will become

door bells here are just literal bells mounted to the door. modern problems require modern solutions.

i think the big issue is asymmetry. they charge at 3C, but they discharge at 8C. so you need the significantly overbuild.

one is energy density, the other is power density.

i think bmw was working on something like that.

from other comments it seems the energy density of batteries currently on the market is about 2/3rds that of lithium cells.

there's also the asymmetry to worry about: with a max discharge rate of 8C but a charge rate of 3C there could potentially be limits on regen braking. if i'm understanding it correctly, sodium cells degrade quickly at higher charge rates.

idk about that, the regularly cited reason Na-ion batteries are mainly being looked at for grid storage rather than vehicle applications is their bad Wh/l and W/kg numbers compared to Li-ion. the table in the Na-ion article seems to use "1000W/kg" without a source, and it shows lithium as being about a third of that even though the Li-ion article quotes figures up to 10kW/kg.

seems the editors of the two articles aren't cross-checking eachother.

according to their product page, the charge rate for a single cell seems to max out at 3C, which could be a pretty big obstacle to grid-scale deployment. unless that's a problem that can be fixed with a different arrangement; i'm not too up on how to build batteries.
