that’s what i would do too—a JSON response. or is that not what “JSON API” means?

how should a REST API respond to the client sending a URL the ends in a string instead of a numeric ID? like api.social/users/ceeforayteen instead of api.socail/users/11037

how would you return metadata or more detailed error codes?

Here’s Angel the drag queen from Rent:

granted the movie version is a ways less potent than the stage musical you get the idea

Toyota isn’t driving adoption of cars because 1. cars have already saturated the market, so there’s no need for ambassadorship and commercials assume people need cars 2. Toyota has 14% market share, not 70%. Same for Saudi crude. None of these are true for wind or solar or batteries.

have matured and become affordable, which would have happened anyway.

You don’t show that this would have happened anyway. The article’s point is that China’s production played a large role in making it affordable and their research a somewhat smaller one.

The article mentions that and explains it as gandalf_ did.

The article didn’t say China is driving its development (like you say Europe would have researched regardless); it says China is driving its adoption including in foreign nations. The article does leave out European research’s contribution to the cheap production of wind turbines, but the article’s claim is that China’s production and foreign policy is driving new adoption.

that’s Fallout

I’m concurring on wind and smart grids but dissenting on solar and batteries.

Interesting: looking at the https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/china-energy-transition-review-2025/how-chinas-transition-is-reshaping-the-global-ener/ section of the report, they keep combining “solar and wind” as one category, and evidence suggests that China is a ways ahead in research measured by patents deemed competitive in solar while a similar amount behind in wind, though they are far ahead in both when measured by research citation counts. The sheer size of China might also be at play here.

though a sizable amount of feminists instead characterize men as also victims of the patriarchy, a system they didn’t choose to be part of

the scale would momentarily say you got heavier because of the added force pushing down on it from air movement but you you actually get lighter and the scale will soon say that as well

i’m not even trans cro

If trans people really want to be treated like everyone else, then they have to learn to deal with people calling them names they don’t like.

i dunno about you but i couldn’t follow the logic here sorry :

I’d really like to see the term genocidal massacre used more.

Sure, LLMs give worse-quality output. That does not mean the have-haves more influence over the narrative. In fact, I’d wager LLMs won’t be able to replace search engines because of how much faster and more accurate the latter are with simple queries. And with that, we’ll still be finding information with search engines.
