I have worked with prototype computers and the process is WASTEFUL. To the outside it looks like the systems are a mess.

For example, proto systems usually don't have power management written, or fan control at the beginning. This means the machines run hot and noisy, consuming extra power and (safely) spinning the fans at full speed. maybe next proto will have a fan controller/firmware. You get prototype memory sticks. software is buggy.

given that, I can imagine that batteries are probably ignored by the chassis and software guys. I'm sure the battery guys are in a lab somewhere writing firmware and working on charging/discharging and managing the batteries.

also, I remember that tesla is spending a lot of work on the factory that builds the product, not just the product. These trucks are one-offs and probably assembled by hand, or poorly assembled by a prototype factory line.

Now, that said I may be giving them too much credit. I remember talking to a guy who had worked at microsoft in the early dos/windows days and I said "the engineers at microsoft probably don't know the new release broke this other software, etc" and he told me I was naive, that ms had meetings where they said "how can we OWN this?" these were the days when starting windows you typed "WIN" at the C: prompt.
I don't want to call it delusional, because green technology is feasible in some places. But in a lot of places and applications it's not just that it doesn't work, it's not feasible to ever work. Inflation is bad enough now. To blindly push it like a communist ideology...don't be surprised when the lower classes revolt because they can't heat their homes or afford food, due to cost of energy trickling into the price of everything.

This guy explains it better than I can.

It’s based on Signal but the key management is completely proprietary. If you read their white paper it directly says that both parties have to be using Google Messages to use E2EE RCS.
As a user of their service, rather than a developer of ads or their service, it isn't incumbent on me to care about their approach. Rather, it is incumbent on me to exercise caveat emptor, and understand that Google has both exercised nefariously in prior activities and that ads are how they choose to make revenue. Ergo, trust is low.

This seems prejudiced. If one company supports end-to-end encrypted chats with everyone, and the other only with people who buy their devices, I think it's clear who cares more about privacy.

I always wondered what happened to all the talented designers that used to make Skeuomorphic (gorgeous) 3D like icons of real items, aaaand completely got shafted by flat design.

Can anyone account for them?

They had real talent. But I think at some points the devs must have gotten tired of "designed UI" and the inter-relationship with web designers, and said the hell with this, we can do design too! Woo all I need is bootstrap right?
It’s probably better than Apple’s at this point. Apple’s has gotten so bad I disabled autocorrect. Seriously it doesn’t autocorrect Im to I’m, it leaves it as Im. Where is the QC?

I think it is outrageous the government owns any land, outside of military bases and the Legislature and Governor buildings. Ownership of resources by government encourages these wasteful political battles. A poor government has little to steal from, so people instead will focus on productive private activities.

Just because it's from a self-described short seller doesn't mean it's not factually true.

Short sellers obviously are incentivized to be uncharitable and focus on the negatives, but that also serves to bring the negatives to light where they might otherwise stay buried.

The US rail freight volume was 2.2 trillion tonne-km in 2022, compared to 400 billion tonne-km shipped in Europe.

Meanwhile, US road freight was about 3.6 trillion tkm, and EU road freight 2 trillion tkm.

So not only does the US do about 5x the rail freight of the EU, US rail is about 38% of freight, compared to 17% in the EU.

> The batteries are just weight on the highway

Weight is only relevant to acceleration (which is partially recovered), hills (partially recovered), and rolling resistance which is only ~5% of energy usage. Even with a consistent load on the highway the batteries can help by removing parasitic loads on the engine like alternators, a/c compressors, and power steering pumps. Depending on torque demand and specifics of the engine/transmission, thrashing the battery could also be more efficient than ICE alone.

I'm sure there's stuff I've missed, but I think those are the main reasons why a number of hybrids have highway EPA ratings 10-15 mpg higher than the highest MPG ICE car ever produced.
That's not true in reality or in your weird twisting of the metaphor. When has Google ever mentioned uBlock specifically?
Yeah. And I'm not sure that even that would give you the worst case as far as the cache is concerned. Of course I don't know how these implementations work, but it seems plausible that code that directly uses memory could run faster than code that encounters a cache miss beforehand (or contention, if you're using multiple cores). Moreover there's also the instruction cache, and I'm not sure if you can disable caching for that in a meaningful way?

For soft real time, I don't see a problem. But for hard real time, it seems a bit scary.
Bit late. They should at least support svn.
I didn't mind getting the certifications to "help out" the company, I just find it such a racket: paying for courses, buying books, $200 tests. Some people take months preparing for that stuff! I didn't buy any courses and only spent a few days preparing, but others spend tons of time and money on it.

And based on my own personal interactions with other "certified" individuals, it doesn't actually mean anything.

Manifest V3 is mostly a good idea. Global variables only live for a few minutes, so extensions have to keep state in a key-value store instead. The code is more tedious, but this also helps extensions run well on Firefox for Android, where the OS kills processes at random.

The main problem with Manifest V3 is that Google used the API version bump as an opportunity to remove the 'blocking webRequest' API from Chrome. Firefox is keeping the API:

You lost me here. To reduce all art to excess is to reduce life to excess. Art is simply expression of the experience of life, and there is absolutely no correlation between art and excess. How is the Mona Lisa an expression of excess? How are countless pieces of art from the middle ages expressions of excess? Excess is somewhat of a modern concept enabled by first world problems. Excess wasn't a problem in the past nor was it something that artists commonly expressed.

I would assume that if you buy an iPhone you are (at least nowadays) aware that you are not going to be side loading applications or getting a device with third party bloatware installed that you can’t remove without a level of technical skill. How is it that they can be forced to open up their ecosystem if nobody is forced to purchase their devices, and when there are so many alternatives available. Especially when it seems (to me) that the only real beneficiaries from that move would be advertisers or companies like epic, spotify, google.

Where do you reckon it should be? Do you think they should let developers do/access whatever they want, or do you mean something else? Do you personally use an android or ios device (or maybe some niche os)?

I have, what you may be missing is current interest rates are linked to high inflation rates which drive up the long term costs of fossil fuels. If inflation drops and interest rates drop you can refinance your renewables.

The calculation depends on how good the specific location is for wind/solar but outside of unusually poor areas, like the UK, solar is easily the cheapest option.

When you set up a new phone on Google Fi, the first thing Messages tells you to do is turn RCS off, because for whatever reason Google can't make Fi's native cross-device SMS[0] work with RCS. It's a damned shame.

[0] Google Fi integrates with Messages for Web to allow you to use your phone number even if your phone is damaged or destroyed. It's absolutely amazing. I've used this (back when it was Hangouts integration) to use my number on an iPod touch and it worked surprisingly well when I was waiting for a replacement on my Nexus 6P that I had shattered. I also have Messages for Web pinned to my iPad dock for similar reasons.
There's a few things going on that come to mind.

Big trucks often have other systems that historically can be dependent on having a good consistent power draw source.

Also, air brake systems; The brakes on a power unit are designed to 'fail safe', so rather than using hydraulic fluid to close the calipers, uses air pressure to keep the calipers open. There's a bunch of efficiency implications here but in general you either have to make a work around to that or take efficiency losses of a PTO or electric compressor. Also, not sure whether a different approach requires DOT approval or not. 'What about all those wheels and regen braking' one might ask? Then you'd be talking replacing/retrofitting trailers which has a bunch of implications for an owner/operator.

Oh. Transmission losses, and the realities of a diesel; One thing that really helps the Prius (and vehicles that use similar arch) is that it (and many/most of the more efficient hybrids) use a Fixed-Ratio transmission; The engine uses various techniques to maximize efficiency at a wide band. Diesels, on the other hand, are often most efficient within a (relatively) much more narrow power band... Also in general, rig diesel engines aren't exactly designed for 'stop-start' patterns.

Then, you've got the delta-V problem; The more weight you add the more energy it takes to move stuff. My SWAG (i.e. completely uninformed and friday night math) is that a power unit would have to have a battery with the capacity of a plug-in hybrid to provide meaningful value.

Then, drag coefficient. A truck has a much larger profile from every angle which has a sizable impact on efficiency.

Oh, and make it all with expectations for long service intervals.
What is very annoying is that white text on a green background is not very accessible to the visually impaired. I am surprised no one has sued them, citing the Americans with Disability Act as a communications standard.
Then I go out at 9pm. Unless I've driven 200 or 300 miles that day (depending on charge level) there's no issue with any of this.

If I'd driven 300 miles earlier in the day, and know I need to drive more in the evening, I'd override the charging schedule. This literally never happens.
Electrified highways is a super interesting idea. In this video they're hybrids though - presumably they come up to speed with combustion and then just use the grid for cruising.

And I don't think it's a huge cost to have a gas and electric motor anyways, it's certainly not as heavy as a 1000KWH battery.
It’s amazing that Tesla fanboys are still a thing.

James Cameron knows as he has been to the bottom of Challenger deep :)

In all seriousness it doesn't mean we've explored literally everything, but a lot of the wonder is missing. It's frustrating that there might be millions of planets we can inhabit out there with limitless exploration....maybe billions or even trillions of worlds depending on how many galaxies to include, but it's all out of reach. We haven't even left the kuiper belt not to mention the Oort Cloud and have no idea how to do something remotely like warp to reach distant stars in a reasonable amount of time and maybe never will. Star Trek may be the wrong solution too. Perhaps it's more likely we have a singularity event first and can then increase our intelligences rapidly and then figure something out. Or maybe we just build our own simulations to dwell in and direct our exploration more inwards <End Rant/>

You can technically use nuclear power plants as load followers in much thr same way that you can technically keep warm by setting $50 bills on fire.

Load following with a nuclear plant basically means provisioning a 2GW plant and then using, say, 0.5GW of that - throwing away the rest.

(since the vast majority of the cost is capex not fuel)

Every kilowatt hour produced by that 2GW power plant is already 5x the cost of a kilowatt hour produced by a wind farm. If you assume it is used for load following that goes from 5x-20x depending on capacity utilization.

Pumping water uphill (snowy 2, coire glas, etc) is way way WAY cheaper and the geography to do that is ridiculously common.

Electrolyzing water and storing hydrogen underground is way cheaper too, and can be stored for months cheaply.

The supreme court says raising your own cattle for your own personal consumption is interstate commerce because you are replacing a purchase of beef in an interstate market.

So, you don't even have to participate in commerce for your actions to be considered "interstate commerce," much less participate in an actual interstate commerce.
One way to think of this is that there are always multiple ways to break up the units when moving a system of equations into matrix form. What I’m trying to say is that there is always one way to break up the units that leads to matrices and vectors with a consistent unit.

Transform vectors like you mentioned can have an implicit 1 with the right units in them in order to make the vector have a consistent unit.

> Also most of economics consists of linear systems with non homogeneous units.

The system of equations needs to have some sort of unit consistency. Which means there is some way to split up the units to keep the matrices and vectors with consistent units or the math doesn’t actually make sense.
