I have a habit of picking up books on China, as it’s the biggest country in the world that doesn’t tell everyone everything it’s doing all the time, unlike my southern neighbor, the United States. I’ve read books by Chinese authors, global diplomats, historians, and youth influencers about the country. … [continued]

It’s been a decade since I first wrote about Tesla’s approach to autonomous driving, comparing it to Google’s (now Waymo’s). At the time, my technical assessment based on my experience with both AI and robotics was that Tesla’s approach was superior. It still is, but it might need to pivot. … [continued]

The hydrogen atom is tiny. Getting enough of it in one place requires pressures found at three to seven kilometers under the surface of the ocean. Unsurprisingly, it leaks. As it’s an indirect greenhouse gas and an explosion risk, that’s a big problem. South Korea has been learning exactly what … [continued]
