Interesting thread on Large Language Models running on very small devices, even without internet connectivity. This technology is going to be nearly impossible to contain. It will be democratized, as pretty much all computing and information technologies before it have been.

Auke had a great thread and presentation on why electric trucking looks extremely promising. IMHO the biggest issue there now is grid support for fast highway charging for trucks. Peak loads are in the MWs per truck stop.

This is my plenary presentation to the EVS35 (an hour from now) about electrifying heavy trucks. I predict it will go faster than you think! Please react to the individual slides if you have something to add. #EVS35OSLO twitter.com/AukeHoekstra/stat

Darkly amusing and insightful thread from @CJHandmer . Let's build for the long term future we want.

I would love to have participated in this rather darkly hilarious effort, but that SCE cut our power all afternoon these last 3 days anyway - very helpful. Let us enumerate the ways this effort is bizarre. twitter.com/CJHandmer/status/15665906007694

Great thread here. With a helpful dose of humility for all of us trying to build or predict the future of energy.

Just found this summary of an engineering symposium by @exxonmobil from 1981. More than a fourth of their effort (in the wake of the 1970s energy crises) was on synfuels, which they estimated would require 20-25 years for maturity. Other work was on
