Today on Volts: electrolyzers! A decarbonized energy system needs lots & lots of green (zero-emissions) hydrogen, which is made using electrolyzers. Today we dig in to what they are, how they work, and how their costs can rapidly be driven down.

This seems remarkably naive about the ways the Chinese government could use control over TikTok to influence American public opinion. There are obviously smarter ways to do it than force-feeding users videos about how great Xi is. reason.com/2023/01/26/tik…

I just cannot believe there are people spending their time asking our government to force a business to have chairs. Like... of all the ways to spend the precious hours of your life. This is what you choose. This.

An architectural historian reiterates that it's not the "presence of seating," but that the seats are a character-defining feature.

If you step back for five minutes it’s genuinely hilarious that OpenAI created the world’s most impressive intelligent agent and it has the politics of a hardcore MSNBC fan.

This is hilariously stupid. I don't think actual source code transparency would address concerns about TikTok, but making people travel to LA and sign an NDA to see source code definitely shouldn't convince anyone. platformer.news/p/a-visit-to-t…
