Biomass is practically free (minus harvesting costs).

Flash point and boiling points are different. The flashpoint of ammonia is 270F. Below this temperature at 1 atm, ammonia will not catch fire no matter what.

That video took place in an engine room, so any combination of heat, flame, or spark is possible.

Diesel's flash point is above ambient temperature (unless you live in the Sahara). It has a lower autoignition point than gasoline, which is one of the reasons it's preferred in compression ignition engines.

No, autoignition and flash point are two completely different things.

The flash point is well above any ambient temperature it would be stored at.

Filter the exhaust through a caustic solution to neutralize NOxs.

NOxs are practically zero with HCCI at a stoichiometric ratio.

Embedded languages are the probably the biggest advantage of LISP (https://youtu.be/PEwZL3H2oKg?t=3370). Could LISP-embedded languages be the key to unlocking the full potential of LLMs?

Use compressed air or NOx as oxidizers for delayed combustion in engines. Not only would it provide a means of storing energy for ICEs, but it would also eliminate pumping losses on the intake stroke.
