Read his hypocrite #blablabla from Elon;

Our “algorithm” is overly complex & not fully understood internally. People will discover many silly things , but we’ll patch issues as soon as they’re found!
We’re developing a simplified approach to serve more compelling tweets, but it’s still a work in progress. That’ll also be "open source".
What he really means is volunteer work,
He hopes to earn your trust. Really????
Haha.
Consider this;
Have you considered that you probably fired the people who understood it internally Elon "not so smart" Musk!?

"Apple, Apple, we're afraid of your batteries."

No, not a chant, but a protest song in #Congo, denouncing the exploitation, oppression and impoverishment caused by #cobalt mining. Depressing.

80% of #cobalt comes from the #Congo and is largely mined by only 19 mines. 15 of them are in Chinese hands. Modern #colonialism, because others become rich, while locals become poorer and their environment is destroyed.

While prices for #cobalt have dropped, #China is moving towards its 50% target for all processing capacity needed for one important group of #electricvehicles' #batteries

However, of course, the majority of the mineral is mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo, so once again we have a form of #imperialism with DRC kept to extraction while China seeks to monopolies refining despite have few if any reserves itself...

Yup China really has joined the ranks of exploitative #capitalism!

Will Japan release Fukushima water into the Pacific?

Officials in Japan have claimed that water exposed to radiation in the Fukushima nuclear disaster is now safe to dump into the Pacific. Environmentalists say the water is too contaminated.

by Julian Ryall , November 20, 2019

"#TEPCO and the government [of #Japan] have long believed that the best way to dispose of the water is to simply release it into the #ocean. They claimed until this year that contaminated water had been cleansed by a so-called advanced liquid processing system to the point that virtually all the radionuclides had been reduced to 'non-detect' levels.

"Leaked TEPCO documents, however, show that varying amounts of 62 radionuclides — including #strontium, #iodine, #cesium and #cobalt — have not been removed from the water.

"The company has also been criticized for refusing to permit independent organizations to test the water that is being stored at the site.

"Nevertheless, environmentalists fear that preparations are under way to release the water into the environment.

"'Even a year ago, when the first report on options for disposing the treated water was presented to the committee, it seemed clear to me even then that the preferred option was to release it into the ocean,' said Azby Brown, the lead researcher for Tokyo-based nuclear monitoring organization #Safecast Japan. Other options included #evaporation and burying the water.

"'My take on this is that they have already reached a decision and that all these discussions now on the options are purely theater.'"

#Fukushima's Contaminated Wastewater May Be A Bigger Problem Than Realized

Tom Hale, August 2020

"But a new study published in the journal Science suggests this plan is currently a riskier move than previously assumed.

Marine chemists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution argue that #tritium is not the only problem after finding that other isotopes including carbon-14, #cobalt-60, and #strontium-90 still remain in the treated wastewater.

"'The concentrations of these radioactive isotopes are orders of magnitude lower than tritium but highly variable from tank to tank,' the study authors write.

“More than 70 percent of the tanks would need secondary treatment to reduce concentrations below that required by law for their release,' they added."

In addition to all that, exposure to #Cobalt-60 can cause sterility and fungus infections. Lovely...

"Because it decays by gamma radiation, external exposure to Co-60 can increase cancer risk. Most Co-60 that is ingested is excreted in feces; however, a small amount is absorbed by the liver, kidneys and bones. Cobalt-60 absorbed by the liver, kidneys, or bone tissue can cause cancer from internal exposure to gamma radiation."

Musk’s views on race have been the subject of scrutiny both at Twitter, where he has reinstated far-right accounts, including those of neo-Nazis and others previously banned for #hate speech, and at #tesla which has been the subject of multiple lawsuits alleging a culture of rampant racism and sexual harassment in the workplace.

"free speech" #Musk is again in the news, Twitter hasn’t paid its #Slack bill. But that’s not why Slack went down: someone at Twitter manually shut off access, we’re told. #Platformer was not able to learn the reason prior to publication, though the move suggests Musk may have turned against the communication app.
#Developers, #programmers and #managers were fired without notice!!!! and couldn't log in to their workspace!
Slack was down Musk said, due to routine maintenance. “There is no such thing as ‘routine maintenance.’ That’s bullshit.” a Slack employee told us.

Contrary to popular belief, #Cobalt is far from rare. Its atomic number is 27, an ordinary metal smack between iron and nickel – not even close to the rare earths group https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2023/02/16/cobalt-a-crucial-battery-material-is-suddenly-superabundant

So there’s this: we have far more cobalt than we need. And now we can just stop all that nonsense about mining the deep sea, right? It’s incredibly damaging, near-impossible to regulate, and clearly entirely unnecessary. Leave the Xenophyophorea alone! (Look them up - they’re gigantic single cells the size of an apple, quite bonkers). #ocean #DeepSeaMining #cobalt https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2023/02/16/cobalt-a-crucial-battery-material-is-suddenly-superabundant

#Fukushima Daiichi Water: The World is Watching… or Should Be

Published on May 6, 2021 by Azby Brown

"In late 2018, however, [#TEPCO] admitted that roughly 80% of the water —890,000 of the 1.1 million tons of treated water then in storage— still contained above-limit levels of #strontium 90, #cobalt 60, #ruthenium 106 and many other #radionuclides that the [ALPS] system had failed to adequately remove. Upon learning that this fact had been intentionally concealed by Tepco, the public was outraged. Those supporting the release plan seem to hope that this massive betrayal of trust has been forgotten."

Grist: "[Almost] 10% of new cars sold last yr were EVs" The data are in, + it's impressive the world is within spitting distance of this milestone. Many regard 15% as a tipping point, with accelerating change thereafter. "Nearly 1 out of every 10 new cars sold globally last year was an electric vehicle, according to a recent analysis from the research groups LMC Automotive and EV-Volumes.com" Unsurprisingly, China is the world leader, where sales were 5 million out of global total of 7.8 M, also in that the proportion of vehicle sales that were fully battery electric [BEVs] hit 19%. Europe sold 1.5 M BEVs, constituting 11%. Meanwhile, the U.S. is lagging at less than 6% new car sales being BEVs. Nonetheless, that fraction in America nearly doubled year-over-year. Globally, while all-in new car sales fell about 1% in 2022, the total number of EVs jumped up 68%. "To continue their growth trajectory, experts say carmakers will need to contend with rising prices for minerals used in EV batteries, like lithium." #electricvehicles #cobalt #graphite #lithium #nickel

I'm working on #cobalt. There's like this huge hurdle which is the "getting it from the brain and putting it into the code" initially that I have to get over, before I can even suggest anyone else to contribute. I have to copy over a lot of stuff from Mastodon, though it's not a simple copy, everything has to be readjusted. Before you ask, no, it's probably not extractable into a common library...

I think I'm gonna return from my vacation to normal business, though it'd be great if my patrons were okay with me continuing to work on #cobalt at least until it's in a state where somebody could run one on the internet
