Haven't read the article, but there are far more accidents at sea than just shipwrecks, which would be probably the most extreme type of accident.

Bad design choice is probably why they open sourced it.

... an attempt at regulatory capture.

Regulatory capture

Would be great to non-destructively scan the lower layers and date code them at some point, if/when possible.

That's on current copyrights, not public domain works like these really old maps.

Wow! Terrible layout. Shouldn't fully justify on a small screen.

Most of this policy is unenforceable.

I totally thought this was about bike theft.

Sad comment really. I could make a counterargument that it could've gone to an alcoholic who wasted his liver, which would be equally uncalled for.

Very interesting insight. OP essentially lost at playing chicken.

> Of course it should be done anyway as there will be a lot of used batteries in near future.

The necessity for recycling those batteries, without more, does not logically follow from their relative abundance in view of the purely economic perspective you posit. Why not just bury them?

It may be the scarcity of lithium that may drive us to take otherwise expensive steps to recycle such batteries.

The conclusory "of course" sets the argument up for a failure from the outset. Though it is not the only flaw.

Poison hemlock is a carrot. Socrates and I would consider it toxic.

There are other toxic substance like phosphorus in "lithium" batteries. Some "lithium" battery chemistries, though reportedly not LFP, contain cobalt, a very toxic heavy metal. Besides, there isn't a clear definition of what is a heavy metal. Even iron and copper, used in LFP, are considered heavy metals by some.

BTW, lithium itself is highly toxic too.

Still slop. This article appears to conflate battery recycling with lithium recovery, two distinct steps to achieve high lithium reuse.

Agreed. For example, what does the color of lithium hydroxide used instead of sodium hydroxide have to do with anything? They are both white.

Yes, poor comparison to what's now a relatively low end model.

"Newly walled towns are a sign of shrivelling state authority" was my thought when I saw the walled off Capitol.

It is sad when the government needs walls to protect itself from its own people, a sign of weakness. To add to the irony the Capitol used to be, quite literally, the "people's house."

How so? Please elaborate.

Children can buy their own devices. School issued devices are not under parent control. Parental controls and school controls are laughable. There is no incentive for OS vendors/retailers to provide robust solutions to this problem. PII industry is essentially pushing regulatory capture.

Sounds like presenting no patterns, apparently or otherwise, would be a pattern in itself.

What does 85% accurate even mean?

Archival optical media is likely much better than any kind of open groove technology.

Vinyl is not great for archiving. It degrades and is affected by dust.

Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_equalization

You could just sell old vinyl with new labels and sleeves and they would be none the wiser.

Libraries, Google and YouTube were/are not nearly as efficient at conveying _targetted_ _actionable_ expertise as AI is.

"I'm finding LLMs also competent at explaining and giving advice on other domain stuff I'm totally new to, which I have cross-checked with Legal/Product Managers and is usually right."

"Usually" is the keyword. Until it becomes "always" (counterintuitive for heuristic systems) or "almost always" some human experts will (/may?) be needed to babysit.

P.S. "_are_ usually right" since they are "LLMs". Methinks running the response through an LLM could've made it more "right".

A font is not a typeface

Probably agentic gone wrong again.
