I hit one of these on an EMC VNX array one time; after ~400 days all the controllers crashed at the same time. Didn't help that it happened at 4am on New Year's Day. I do recall other instances of this class of bug, but nothing specific.
A very interesting idea!

I do wonder how reliable would those tracks be. Unlike regular turbines (which have a relatively small sliding surface that can be fully protected), the tracks/bearing here will likely be fully exposed. What happens if dust builds up, or some object (animal or drone) is caught in the tracks?
> I don't want to plan where I stop and stop for 45 minutes to fuel up with 2 toddlers in the car.

With fast charging you typically only stop for 15-25 minutes, the infotainment or app does the planning for you, and the frequency you'll have to stop at matches the natural frequency people typically need to stop anyways by design.
I don't think ever before we had significant periods of time where we actually get paid to use energy from the grid due to overprovisioning with renewables. Plenty of times during the past several years I've had negative electricity cost.

Energy seems to be more and more available as we expand the infrastructure.
Do you live in a super high cost of living area?
I like how you completely forgot that a night at a hotel costs you 1 day of vacation, plus the cost for the hotel itself.

Most healthy people don't need toilet breaks every 2h, and you're not accounting for the line at charging spots. 10 minutes * 5 cars isn't a short stop really.

I would also love being able to ride a quiet motorbike. One of the reasons I have my specific model is that it's very quiet. I'm not against EV bikes, mind. I'm talking about practical issues, here, and saying that as of today, electric bikes' range combined with the existing infrastructure would have a hard time replacing ICE bikes.

I'm all for your considering that I shouldn't get to enjoy the mountains, but please, come out and say that, instead of dancing around the subject and saying that a newer ICE bike would be just fine. The argument just loses credibilty.

> Smaller engines are by far vastly more polluting per kilometer than larger ones.

How small are we talking, here? My motorbike's engine is bigger than many modern ICE cars' (I'm in Europe, so big-ass V8s aren't that common).

Be that as it may, you seem to ignore what I'd say is the most important part of my argument: I'm not complaining that I wouldn't be allowed to ride any bike. I'm complaining that the powers that be figured that a newer bike, with the same weight and similar sized engine (smaller, actually! – so more polluting?) and the same gas consumption is somehow better than my older model, and I should be allowed to ride that and not the one I already have.

Can you elaborate on this? I did some searching and turned up this: https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/01/19/zuckerbergs-moving-in...

which seems far more reasonable than your characterization. From what I can tell it's equivalent to doing a title search, and asking the state to declare that there's no competing ownership interests.
Sure, fine, if an largely-compliant OCI runtime is running in a wasm-wasi context, then I see no reason you couldn't stub out syscalls to reduce dependence on linux-kernel syscalls, and gradually replace the kernel with a minimal set of stub syscalls that make sense, sort of like how gvisor has implemented 200+ linux syscalls in GO and presents an alternative OCI runtime for docker containers.

Gradually reduce dependence on an emulated linux-kernel in favour of an alternative lightweight POSIX implementation that runs in pure WASM. This is something that is already done with other OCI runtimes like sysbox and gvisor.

You can do both. I often ended up running emacs on a remote server using ssh/tmux as it was easier to keep my state on said server (processes etc) and just reconnect.

Lol and then they'll have some sort of theory of fallen angels, giants, etc but for many years they'll be focused on their origins as the first civilization and they'll deny evolution.
Frequently these ISP level blocks also redirect the normal port 53 traffic to their own servers so these settings are meaningless. What does work is DNS-over-HTTPS which can be enabled quickly and easily in both Chrome and Firefox and will side-step this block even against adversarial ISPs.
Bolt starts at ~$26k. Civic starts at just under $24k. The Bolt is a mediocre road tripper, but lots of cars in that segment are just commuters that only very occasionally road trip. It'd be a great choice for a lot of people.
Do you realize that you're not on 4chan right now?
Yeah. But I can still fill an ICE car manually with a can or hand pump.

Also hurricane evacuation with mass electric adoption is going to be an interesting situation to observe. It may be better than with an ICE. We’ll see.
The quote doesn't even support your claim. Clearly, alternative (B) does not ban economic growth across _all economic strata_. Unrealistic as though it might be, still.

Also, you're equating "quality of life improvements" with economic income. Which is troublesome in many ways, especially if the economic income incurs major (huge) environmental problems that even jeopordizes the future of civilization as we know it. Or at the very least leads to _massive_ health and quality of life issues on a global scale. Then "income" is a worthless "quality of life" metric.

Anyway, your original reply comes off as very arrogant and/or hypocritical. You express concern for the developing countries, and at the same time acknowledge rich countries' rights to a lifestyle that you yourself acknowledge isn't sustainable if adopted by everyone. So as long as only the rich (us) have cars, it's ok?

Also, your claim that westeners are not the biggest emitters is factually incorrect. Check this out as a starting point: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/consumption-co2-per-capit...

> Since Americans have been promised a one-to-one substitute for their gas cars, this seems like a failure; an EV should be able to do everything a gas car can. This idea persists even though in 2023 the average US driver traveled only about 40 miles a day, and in 2022 about 93% of US trips were less than 30 miles. Still, in a survey conducted by Ipsos last fall, 73% of respondents indicated they had concerns about EV range.

This right here is the problem. For >99% of your yearly trips you do not need the range. EV's aren't 100% replacements of ICE. They are a replacement for urban, interurban and trips under 500 km range. For my country, for example, there's no two way trip that is longer than 200 km, and the ones that are are so rare and usually overnight so you have charging figured out.

It's funny really, I ran a substantial amount of Tor exit nodes in Germany since 2014 and everytime I got into touch with the police about stuff happening on them, they asked me to "filter" things going through it. The thing is that as per TMG §8.1.3: "Service providers are not responsible for third-party information that they transmit in a communication network or for which they provide access for use, provided that they [...] did not select or modify the transmitted information."

Essentially, if an operator was to "do a good thing", they'd legally become liable for all traffic. That was quite a learning experience for me.

It looks like everywhere modern architecture, that's the problem. There is no real culture behind it, only the insular culture of professional architects seeking out approval from other professional architects. There is no locality to it, no local materials or methods.

Christopher Alexander's dissertation, "Notes on the Synthesis of Form" lays out a very compelling sociological explanation of how this happens.

TLDR: People initially create things (like houses) to solve local problems, usually their own problems, with the materials and methods they have locally available. As the craft develops, its practitioners start to compete directly with each other and the craft becomes "self-conscious." This competition finds increasingly esoteric "dimensions" to compete on, at the expense of solving the real-world problems the craft initially set out to solve. So consider e.g. early designers of chairs. They were looking for good places to sit that looked nice in their homes. Now, if you want acclaim as a chair designer, you have to design the most garish, over-the-top, wildly uncomfortable "chair" (sculpture) that you can.
I live in the US, the number of folks who told me “can’t buy an EV, I drive for 5 hours straight” is pretty high, it’s fairly crazy. Especially when you think of how much not stopping increases your accident risk.

I will read the article later on, only skimmed it.

I don't trust the numbers though.

I've noticed in my area that companies congregate near their nexus. Attorneys will get an office near the tribunal, accountants near the IRS building, etc. Also, big companies will set their headquarters in the state capital but earn money from all over the place.

This makes it seem like the capital "makes" all the money though it's actually just fiscally declared in that place.

I suspect that chart shows the same thing. Eg. perhaps the gutters may not be covered from the home tax, but that person goes to work someplace, spends money elsewhere and maybe has a company registered elsewhere in the city.

Though, I do agree that overinvesting may happen for infrastructure. I don't buy it though that, for example, suburbs are inherently a subsidy.
What kind of "place" can redirect a port-53 request to localhost to my ISP's DNS server?

DNS-over-HTTPS is a move in the wrong direction, if you ask me. There aren't many DOH servers, so it concentrates control even more than traditional DNS. But if you are running your own recursive resolver, the only ways to control the results are to control the authoritative servers (nope), or to control the roots (most of them are physically in the USA, and run by corporations, so that's sort-of possible).
That's an awesome scenario to be in! Hopefully that scenario becomes more common throughout the world.
The goal is that none of the intermediate data spills - the only user of RAM is reading the input data.

But for that, you're right, the workload must be split across as many cores as necessary to keep DRAM maxed out or you're throwing away performance. Luckily this problem is easily split.
Phh... Wealthy PC owners had Pascal and C. In the early 80s, us plebs had 8-bits that ran BASIC or we programmed assembly. Hell, my parents wouldn't even pay for an assembler for my VIC-20 so I programmed 6502 machine code by hand with POKE and DATA statements with the explicit opcodes.

Sure, if your dad was an accountant or something, and let you use his PC, you might have access to Turbo Pascal or something, I dunno. But that was a very expensive machine, and market penetration on 16-bit machines was extremely low until the mid80s.

Late 80s, different story.
Looking up a small key in a table to get a value is easy.

Looking up a big key can be done by looking up part of the key to get a second lookup table, in which the rest of the key is then looked up to get the value.

If the set of values is finite, the set of keys can be infinite by using a suitable graph of lookup tables. (this /!\ is the non-intuitive step)

If one can find a suitable compact set of functions, it's even possible to "look up" an infinite set of values: look up the right function for the key, then apply it to produce the corresponding value.

> Maybe that's why it's so expensive compared to other modules which can get away with lower efficiencies?

It's expensive, because most people don't need that, because they just use a wire to power their device.

This has some very niche uses in high voltage insulation (where you need the power on the other side, but really really don't want high voltage to travel back down the line and destroy your device.
Range by David Epstein makes this argument well, and even argues that you don't have to give up being great, but rather the breadth of experience can make you great once you find the right opportunity.

You are absolutely right there.

But personally, instead of lamenting it, I see it as a sign of our march towards the “Earth” culture. We are watching the development of the first global civilisation unfold.

It’s exciting, even if it has none of the charm of older architectural styles.
All people in my network have moved on from EVs being the “solution” to transport

The real solution we seem to roughly agree upon is getting cars as a whole off the road where possible

Permanent investment in mass transit and any tech which plugs the gaps is the way forward in our view

The often subpar urban planning in North America (think Phoenix not Montreal) is simply incompatible with a sustainable and decarbonised future

Insisting on EVs over hybrids in the 2020s is a laughable total solution to the current situation we find ourselves in

ISIS is mostly gone and a non-threat. Al-Qaeda as well. Nazism is a thing of the past.
Sure you have neo-nazis in different places like Russia, US, Gaza (looks like "Mein Kampf" is the most popular book there after Koran) but that's just deranged individuals, not infrastructure.
So yes, Hamas will be there for decades but mostly as an ideology of a sick people, Israel physically eliminated any future threat from this place for a long, long time.
Which, IMHO, increases the estimated recovery time for burning all of the fossilized fuel.
> The "I want a pickup" idea does not tickle the same brain cells as the "I want an EV" idea.

Very anecdotal but I disagree. My dream vehicle might be a hybrid pickup that sacrifices the frunk for an ICE that can give me much greater range if needed, while still having a full size battery I can use for around town and camping.

Also, EV pickups are basically the perfect work truck for people using plug-in power tools. My neighbor is building a new house, and the workers have needed to borrow our power outlet multiple times.
Max load for trucks in Europe is usually 10 tons per axle. No passenger vehicle comes even near that.

This is exactly the problem with Hudson Yards in NYC. Even now, the most likely image you'll see when searching for Hudson yards is of the rather terrible "Vessel" sculpture they plopped down in the middle.

I had Personal Pascal and Megamax Modula-2 on my ST. Great software. But most people used GFA Basic, which was structured, compiling, BASIC with a Pascal sheen to it.

Or, if they were serious, they used C. The API for the AES and VDI was developed with C in mind, because it was written in C. Void pointers all over, stuff that Wirth-languages despised.

GEM/TOS bindings for other languages were terrible, I never got Modula-2 to work well for GEM development, it simply didn't ship with bindings for it. I didn't have a C compiler, so to do anything GEM-ish... it was GFA.

But TFA is about the early 80s, and is out to lunch. Only professionals with expensive PCs had access to C and Pascal in the early 80s. Though I guess there were Pascal dialects in the Apple II world, they weren't that commonly used.

I'm an elementary school teacher, and I started at a new school this year. The official way to communicate is via email, but during the first week, my divisional head needed to get ahold of me more quickly. She tried calling, but I didn't pick up because I was with students. So she sent a text message.

My school is closed this week, so instead I'm giving private coding lessons to two sisters. Yesterday, I needed to get in touch with their father. I sent a text message.

What communication medium should have been used in these situations? Signal? Snikket? Either would have felt invasive. SMS is valuable for its social utility, not its technical merits.

P.S. Actually, both those anecdotes were lies. The girls' father and my divisional head were blue bubbles, so we were using iMessage. This is its own problem.

Good to know, I had no idea of that! But it seems to be fixed with a cat without too much downside in performance. From my quick research, it seems that most modern motorcycles do have cats, and they don't add very much to the price of the vehicle.

Cars carry more people, and more stuff. And it protects you from the weather. But if you're just transporting yourself or yourself and a passenger, the motorcycle can be a good option many times.
