The damage caused by DC charging is not huge. If you supercharged your car every day in lieu of home charging (i.e. because you can't home charge), then the effect is bigger, but Tesla superchargers (can't speak for the others) are very careful about how much charge they dump into the battery at any particular instant given the battery's current state of charge, temperature, age, etc. They do this specifically to preserve the health of the battery.

> The "proof", (which we now know was flawed) was that the system had shown that what they had sold didn't tally with what was sent to the Post Office

No, it claimed that what they had sold didn't tally, a claim they never proved. The defense put forward another plausible explanation - that the software was incorrect, and the prosecution obviously didn't prove the software was accurate.

Even if the computer was right and there was a genuine discrepancy in the tally, you then need to prove that this person was the one responsible for it. Certainly in this case, there couldn't possibly have been sufficient evidence to prove they were the ones that did it if it was never done to begin with. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, but it sure as hell isn't proof of presence.

In the "we found your DNA" analogy, you're finding my DNA in my workplace where nothing has actually gone missing - how does that prove I am guilty of theft?
I had the same question, I'm not versed on manufacturing processes but "Just in time" would seem to imply inventory is nearly 0 and as parts come in, they are used for assembly and go right back out the door.

Perhaps they realized the limits of JIT and have looked at storying inventory based on the impact to assembly continuity?

I think they meant it added 4 hours to the total one way trip. "a trip to florida". Electric is pretty good in many cases. But long road trips is not one of them. A full recharge is on the order of an 30-60 mins. You can refuel an ICE car in 5-10 mins and get the same range. 4 stops in a long trip is not unheard of. It would put them in the middle of the united states somewhere going to florida.

For local travel electric is decent and you can work around the 1 remaining issue for electric with some planning. For long road trip the refuel is the bottleneck. I think when electric cars can recharge a 300-400 range in 5-10 mins you will see people switch very quickly.

Ah, cool. Sounds like there's no excuse. My mistake.

I mistakenly assumed you'd need some kind of cryptographic key signing handshake via active electronics from within the keyfob to achieve secure comms with the host vehicle, and that such a requirement may have been some kind of implementation limiting factor, security-wise.
Yea, I had a ID.4 pre-ordered but canceled it after I realized how absurd the price is. I bought a utility e-bike instead and that was probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I barely use my car anymore and biking is way more fun and greener than any car.
Actually not even half way, depending on origin and direction of travel. IIRC highway I-10 starts around milepost 810 on the Texas/Louisiana border. It's a big state.

Off-topic but Texan inhabitants I know used to measure the length of the drives in number of beers consumed en route. Austin to Waco was a comparatively modest 5 beer trip, for example.
Yeah, ebooks are particularly egregious because the readers actually have features that are good or bad and being locked into one or two options at the most severely limits how you consume your books.

What I've doing is buying physical books and then downloading DRM free ebook versions from pirate bay. I know not everyone will agree with those ethics, but I'm ok with it.

The delivery services part of the Post Office (Royal Mail) was separately privatised in 2013; but the retail post office business (Post Office Ltd) remains under full government ownership, albeit most of the individual post offices are privately run by franchisees – and it was these franchisees who were being prosecuted

Ok, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the 5800U@15W.

On Cinebench, the 5800U gets much more than the M1 in multicore and slightly more in single core. It even edges out the M1 on Geekbench, though Gb is a poor benchmark.

This is great list, but what is the most important in search is not operators. It is context.

Every time I work with students and they are stuck, I ask them to Google the issue. 9 out of 10 they will write something like: how to upload an image?

Instead, they should first specify the context. Is it an issue on the front end? Are they looking for the correct input type for file upload? Or is it the php method to receive the file on the back end. Or is it in nodejs?

Search engines cannot infer the correct context because there are hundreds of correct answers. So we have to specify:

- nodejs file upload async (no need to talk to it like a human)

- html file upload input type

- php file upload tutorial

Most likely, the answer will be in the first few links.
Why Are Things Cute?
Change "probably" to "definitely" and I'm with you. Automotive chips need to be a lot more reliable than a PS5 GPU, and that kind of reliability takes time to test and prove. Not to mention that automakers try not to change parts unnecessarily because their economies of scale are only as useful as their ability to use one component across several models and years. If you care little about thermal efficiency and power consumption, and you're not doing extremely abstract computations, there's no reason whatsoever to spend tons of money on a smaller lithography. I was looking into this recently, and the price difference between some of the equipment involved is around two orders of magnitude from the leading edge to the trailing edge.
That's a pretty fair amount of speculation about the future evolution of sars-covid-19, but you might be right. I hope you are. To be direct with you - I disliked the framing altogether, neither of them are sniffles, and it's unhelpful and barely meaningful to compare an acute respiratory transmitted virus with a mosquito borne parasite over such wildly different timeframes. This is wonderful news about the vaccine for the terrible disease malaria. Covid is also a terrible disease.
And here I am with an AMD Turion2 and 2GB of RAM.
Bots won't replace apps (2016)
Agreed.

The short answer is Apple's using a SoC with LPDDR4x (thanks jeffbee) inside the package, and they are already using the highest density memory chips (available when the M1 started shipping). This helps save power, increase bandwidth, decreases latency, and allows for more channels (2 channels per DDR5 chip).

Not sure if Apple's going to just switch to a higher density chip (when they become available), add more memory channels, or maybe just make all the higher end iMac, mac pro, and similar machines dual socket which would double the max ram. Maybe even both, double the density and double the sockets. Clearly the heat/power/space for the M1 is substantially lower than the intel chips they replaced.
This shouldn't surprise anybody. Those are used for work like farms and are tax deductible.
Of course the most common price is just as useless as the mean price when describing this highly skewed distribution.

Its the median price that the average American is willing to pat that is the most informative metric here.

Understandable, but with governments banning new combustion vehicle sales, the electric transition and need to shift how vehicles are used will occur eventually. I don't think EVs will reach the exact UX of combustion vehicles, nor do they have to (most charging can occur at home at night, people rarely road trip and need to charge from 0 to 100 SOC in 5 minutes), but people will have to be accepting that the experience might be different than they're use to.

Something to keep in mind is that electricity is ubiquitous in the first world, and the number and density of EV chargers will only increase over time.

That doesn't scale. The reason Tesla's not having problems is because they have first dibs. That only works for them because the companies who don't have first dibs are taking the hit, not because this is some solution to the issue of shortages on the macro-economic level. If everybody did what Tesla did and in-sourced, somebody who in-sourced would be taking the hit.

Yes, but in some cultures that type of measures is seen as running against the idea of "freedom", however they choose to define it. This is the root cause. It's a cultural thing, a set of shared ideas.

Turns out, when you're dealing with a nanoscale replicator that only operates on statistics, individuals and their "freedom" are irrelevant. What really matters is how the collective strategy is shaped.

I flagged your comment. Calling names and pointing fingers doesn't solve anything. Especially since, in this case, you are reacting to something I did not say (and I reread my post to make sure).
Do you mean all people? Or a small portion of those people? Maybe building a shit snowball bomb shelter aka cutting internet to a household might be able to save a small portion of those people, but I'm not sure how anyone outside of elected representatives could ever hope to stop it for the wider population when the thing has so incredibly much inertia.

The diversity pushed by academic institutions and tech companies is the same. They want people from different backgrounds and locations, that are all the same politically. If you disagree with a progressive policy, you get the boot.

4chan is the same. They accept anyone from all over the world. The majority of posters are foreign. If you disagree with their narrative or political ideals, they insult you and tell you to leave. Except on 4chan you don't get banned or your life ruined for disagreeing. It's an actual safe space for ideas.

It's hilarious how similar they are.
Indeed. /pol/'s main value is entertainment at the sheer level of batshit insanity but the number of times they've either been startlingly prescient or else had serious insider knowledge is significant.

Tidal energy doesn't compete with wind, it competes with energy storage. Having virtually no wind production over the whole UK for a week happens regularly; in fact this last week is a good example - production has averaged well under 2GW according to https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/
On a windy week production can average over 10GW, but as yet grid scale storage is about as immature a technology as tidal generation (with the exception of pumped hydro, and there is a limited number of suitable sites for that).
Hey buddy I'll send you a note out of band tonight. This space moves incredibly quickly and I don't know what things look like these days in terms of trials. We didn't have a good outcome ultimately but there is some evidence that my wife should have been staged at IV not IIIC. I'm still incredibly confident in the role that immunotherapy will play in cancer therapy, and it's likely that there have been advances since we had a go at it.
Is it possible to get herd immunity to malaria? Does the parasite have non-human reservoirs (for the non-mosquito part of its lifecycle)?
If tidal or wave had been viable i think by now the offshore oil industry would have been exploiting it at their installations.

For contrast, some of the fastest deployments of autonomous vehicles, solar energy and novel digital communications come at Australian remote mine sites.

I badly wanted to read takedowns of your summary, but I'm forced to say absent well constructed arguments of viability i think you're carrying the room. Obviously the backers, grant or seed capital aided believe in what they're doing and we're a long way down the road from Salter's ducks. But on balance I think this is a niche product.

Some places like the bay of fundy, if you took local ecology out of the picture, look like 80% of the construction cost of a tidal race is done for you by nature. It doesn't mean they would work, it only means the initial capital investment might be better. I think the same is true of the Scots waterways used for these tests, but the volume of power remains below wind and you would be right to say it questions why the investment given the balance of returns.

The same is true of Carbon Capture and Storage: huge but elusive upside for the coal power sector, exploiting something known to work, from gas and oil well injection. It's had billions pumped in (hah) worldwide and doesn't seem to work in practice. Fugitive gas is a problem and the chemistry is complex and consumes energy ferociously to do the conversions. Had the same funds been spent on battery tech, improvements in transmission and other change to power, we'd be significantly better off (in australia)

(Not an engineer, not in the power sector)
Subcultures have shibboleths. In the same way WallStreetBets wasn't making fun of the mentally handicapped, it would be dangerous to take any chan at face value.

Shibboleths exist to exclude people outside the subculture stereotype - and a good way of doing that is to be offensive. Some subcultures desire to remain as subcultures.

Part of why shibboleths work is because we as a species tend to stop engaging rationally the moment we feel attacked - we switch to being defensive and actually entrench our own values further.

The 4chan shibboleth attacks everyone. No matter who you are or how you identify you're going to be debased and mocked openly - that's kind of the point.
> What I don't think people understand is how quick these batteries can be charged. It is a plug in, get lunch, go to the bathroom, maybe stretch a bit, and get back on the road type of deal.

I'm guessing you have never been at a busy highway gas station? It is not uncommon to wait for 10-20 minutes at a 20 pump station on a turnpike where cars gas up in 3-4 minutes. Until the charging infrastructure is done to at least half of the current gas stations level mass adoption of EV is a pipe dream.
As a wild guess:
2 hrs (500 nm at 250 kts)

500 kW (2x250 kW motors)

So 500 kW for 2 hours, or 1 MWh. Perhaps battery density is 250 Wh/kg, so around 4000 kg for batteries alone.

Perhaps serial hybrid would makes more sense?
So some people claim. Our understanding of ecosystems is so superficial that this looks like a pretty big gamble to take.

This is perhaps the real genius of the M1. It's a great chip and all. But when you make it the only choice, people are finding the only choice is more than sufficient. And now Apple only has to produce one piece of silicon for their iMacs, iPad Pro, and Laptops. What a boon for logistics.

It seems to be a fairly clear-cut geographical divide - Americans always pluralise, Britons never do. Without knowing but based on other lexical splits, I'd expect the majority of the rest of the Anglophone world to follow British usage, with Canada going either one way or the other.
