I love your setup. The ingenuity of such solution is outstanding. I have so many questions but I'm afraid to ask.

What surprises me the most is that there is no benchmarks table right at the top. Maybe the improvements are not to call home about?
Pretty sure this is AI written, hence the inconsistencies mentioned in this comment section.
Yes. I’d rather read the prompt than this.
"Right now, most EVs can't contribute power"
Nor should they. People don't want to be cycling their batteries and reducing their life. This use case would be better served by batteries that are designed for that purpose instead of being designed to be light for a vehicle.
They are almost the same batteries. Different form factor but same thing. They are rolled from the same lines.
Python 3.13 has finally introduced free threading, which is a big deal. I initially thought we wouldn't be able to use this in production for ages since packages would need time to adapt. Surprisingly, it looks like it might be ready for real-world use much sooner than I expected.
What's the use case here? Power outages?
In Europe we have plug-in batteries that just cycle PV every day to lower your electrical bill. But these are usually 2,5kWh or 5kWh.
In Europe you are hard limited to 800watt on a normal plug, no way you can do 2,4kW without a special fuse.
I don’t know where the 800W is coming from. It is quite common to have 16A breakers on a circuit. That is 3,8kW. My regular apartment has 3x20A breakers and for example my induction hob is 7,2kW two phase.

I'm no electrical engineer but would that really be so much cheaper? A buck converted is essentially the same thing where the transformer is replaced by an inductor. You get rid of a bit of copper but all the power electronics to do the high-frequency switching is still there. Together with most of the components.
They "estimate" this would save 60% on galvanic link, and on the rest, you can save another half. So that would mean you are at 20% cost plus some ground wire fault detection HW.
In an IPv6 world, your home router still firewalls just like with IPv4 (the NAT is just an extra accidental firewall-ish thing), you can still skip the firewall on your laptop
Having globally allocated address space doesn’t actually imply openness of connectability
I wouldn’t want to relay on random caffee’s router to do this for me. I would still end up running firewall more carefully on my end devices. Which for my iPhone I’m not even sure if I can. So probably a personal VPN would be a must.

I can attribute millions of dollars in revenue to LinkedIn, as can a lot of my 'LinkedIn friends'
> Doing work that matters might.
This is a pre-requisite for winning on LinkedIn. The kind of content that performs best are strong opinions informed by actual expertise.
> Go for depth over frequency.
Unfortunately that's not the way marketing works. 95% of your audience is not 'in-market' and ready to buy when they see your content. Sometime over the next 3-5 years they may move into a buying lifecycle, and they are much more likely to trust you, and therefore buy from you, if they've seen your content 1,000x vs a couple of long reads.
> If writing online matters to you, you’re probably better off starting a blog and building things there.
Your long form, in-depth content lives on your blog, and your LinkedIn profile should act as a funnel, moving people from newsfeed --> your profile --> the most important piece of content you want them to read. From there, you can capture their email to touch them on another channel (inbox), push them to your YouTube / Twitter / community, etc.
With that said, while LinkedIn is responsible for a significant % of my total revenue, it's also responsible for a significant % of my anxiety. Building in public invites folks to publicly blast you if they don't agree with your ideas. 'Getting ratio'd' happens. LinkedIn eventually becomes a mentally exhausting slog. But as a career driven individual the upside has been very high and I think the trade off was worth it. I would do it again knowing everything I know now.
