Imagine if this were hydrogen, which leaks more easily, burns faster and explodes harder. Electrification, not hydrogen - which is typically made with methane anyway, is the answer. Do you agree?

[Jan Rosenow @janrosenow]

This is footage of a major gas leak near Romsey, UK in July 2024.

Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas — over 80x more powerful than CO2 over 20 years.

Leaks like this on the UK gas grid undermine climate goals, waste energy consumers pay for, and pose safety risks.

I will be at ICNC Berlin this week. If you are around, let's connect!

[Flatpeak @flatpeakenergy]

Off-peak charging was guesswork. Until Flatpeak.
⚡ Real-time energy prices. Every address.
⚡ APIs powering the ultimate charging experience.

At @hubject #ICNC25 Berlin next week — let’s connect!

Very true but rarely understood before v4 is out.

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

The Tesla Roadster is niche w bad range

The Falcon 1 is a shit rocket

The Neuralink v1 bit rate is low

Subways >>> cars

Grok 1 sucks

X will break after firing people

It’s amazing how people don’t get the pattern

v1 sucks, v2 is okay, v3 is SOTA, v4 is god-mode

Elon Musk: You can't solve self-driving unless you have millions of cars on the road.

“We are no longer compute-constrained for training.

I checked in with the team, is there anything we could do to improve the pace of progress with respect to training and inference?

And currently, that is not the limiting factor.

In fact, the limiting factor right now is that the amount of miles between interventions is so long that it takes quite a while to figure out which version is better than the other version because none of them are requiring any interventions.

You start getting to thousands of miles between interventions, you need 10,000 miles to get an intervention. The average person only drives about 10,000 miles in a year.

If it's in an urban environment, the average speed is 20 mph. Our professional test drivers get pretty bored, frankly. They're like, okay, I drove all week and there was no intervention. The highlight of the week would be like, yes, an intervention, finally! It's getting to that point.

So, this is where, actually, having a giant fleet is extremely important, because we can deploy a new FSD model and run it in shadow mode and see how well it performs, compare how the human drives the car versus the new self-driving build, and then, analyze that delta in shadow mode, like the shadow knows or doesn't know as the case may be, and then, be able to assess by getting billions of miles very quickly with the giant fleet.

Basically, that data engine is incredibly helpful.

Actually, it's not possible to solve the self-driving problem without having millions of vehicles on the road.”

Oh, BMW 😭

[Alex @alex_avoigt]

When an automaker after 45 years of R&D still doesn't understand the basics 🤣

NEW ANALYSIS: Over the first 6 months of the year 17 EU countries generated record shares of power from renewables:

Wind generation ⬆️ 5%
Solar generation ⬆️ 13%

Fossil generation collapsed in the first half of 2023.

Coal ⬇️ 23%
Gas ⬇️ 23%

@janrosenow As a (relatively) long-time EV driver, I'd say the problem is not with the lack of charging facilities along main roads. It's helping ICE drivers to learn how to find charging without drama. Unless they own a Tesla of course, but that's another story altogether.

[Dr Paul Dorfman @dorfman_p]

Good grief !

Offshore wind power generation at a record low price of £37.35/MWh !

@elonmusk 'Smart' is overrated. But why not even my Tesla can follow actual green energy (unless I own solar). @elonmusk can you give us a hand? https://t.co/9SJwMSXnfo

[Lion Hirth @LionHirth]

Average power prices YTD

Guess who is attracting the big green steel investment

(hint: it's a country that had split its bidding zone and now is able to offer rock-bottom power prices to investiors)

Delighted that 70th anniversary of @NatChurchTrust will feature in BBC Songs of Praise this Sunday, as it visits St Brynach, Nevern, Pembrokeshire. An ancient pilgrim church now being repaired and renewed. @ChurchinWales @CatholicCardiff @BBCSoP https://t.co/IdWUW8fLC7

Look at this: only six years ago, 1 in 100 cars bought in the UK was electric. Now it's 1 in 3. The power of exponential growth https://t.co/ge3TOd4lbO @newautomotive1 @CarbonBubble

Sunshine duration in hours per year. USA Vs. Europe

[Alex Alenberg @alexalenberg]

@ListerLawrence More slow on-street off-peak charging - is the way to solve it. Not rapid DC, which is unsustainable from both generation and delivery perspectives!

[Alex Alenberg @alexalenberg]

Worth noting. Key is to shift consumption to when solar&wind is available.

[Dr Paul Dorfman @dorfman_p]

Lazard finds that while the levelised cost of nuclear-generated electricity averages around $160 per MWh (megawatt hour), utility-scale solar and wind power comes in at an average of around just $40 per MWh
