Pretty sure this list is missing brands like VW who make cars that have V2H. I believe Polestar as well.
I guess it's not exactly that it needs USB PD, but that it's pretty convenient.

Also, it seems like large panels could be relatively power hungry, at least on peaks, to be powered by a classic 5V USB brick, when the standard is limited from 55mA to 1.5A (rarely) [0].

The CrowdSupply page says it includes an "E-paper power supply with up to 1 A peak current on +/-15 V rail supporting large panels sizes".

Our power company ("Tibber") provides this as a service in their app for a bunch of different car models. Until recently this just let you avoid hours with more expensive electricity. But now you get an extra bonus on top of that since it lets the power company provide valuable grid balancing services.

It's not sexy, but it's also not that hard to implement so I suspect this will become commonplace surprisingly quickly.

> It doesn't add costly cycles to the onboard traction battery

I guess for many people, NOT using V2G will be a net economic loss. For a big battery, and with 20%-80% limits, we are talking about extremely gentle cycles. The degradation is likely a drop in the bucket. Battery degrades with age as well as cycles. So after 20-30 years if you haven't used V2G you risk having an age-degraded battery that didn't deliver its full capability in terms of cycle life. Or the rest of your car has degraded before your battery did.

For LFP it's even more likely that V2G will get you the most value out of the battery.

If you go through a charge cycle every day or two on a Li-ion, I suspect V2G won't make sense since you're stressing the cycle life of your battery.

The problem is we don't really know how long modern EV batteries will last, so it's impossible to know what the most rational choice is. We also don't know what the value of a degraded battery is in 15 years, and what the cost of a new one is. Since the economies of scale around battery recycling will be so massive in 15 years, it's possible that you get paid a fair sum for an old battery, and that getting a new battery will be fairly cheap. Or maybe not.
I think you mean declarative. Whether something is FP or OP usually doesn't matter too much (unless you go to the extremes of each end of the sprectrum a la AbstractBeanFactory/IO Functor State). Declarative solutions last longer by virtue of their declarativeness; the underlying implementation can evolve as long as the declarative layer is untouched.
KYC? I wouldn't expect the teller to have it (if my bank even had branches) but certainly I've provided driving licence or passport as well as 'selfie' for KYC and to subsequently prove my identity.
Think for a minute why Israel might be “providing security” for this floating pier (built by the US), or why a sea-route for aid is even necessary in the first place. Wouldn’t it be much, much simpler to bring in aid by land (via the many border crossings also administered by Israel)?

The pier provides something else to Israel: a large escape hatch for forcibly transferring a large population without resettling them in Israel (or Egypt). This plan was suggested last year by an Israeli think tank linked to Likud and the current Israeli war cabinet: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231024-israel-think-tank...

(By the way, there is still some aid attempting to enter Gaza via the land routes but there are multiple examples of trucks being blocked and food being destroyed. Here’s a video from last week where the IDF watched as food aid was blocked and burned: https://x.com/sapir_slam/status/1791143191988543538?s=46)

> I've entertained the idea of picking up a Prius and hacking the electronics to act on this.

All the NiMH prius' are unsuitable for this. Total energy storage is only about 1kWh and usable energy storage is more like 0.3 kWh (ie. it wouldn't even boil one kettle of water).

The hybrid-ness is still useful because it lets you get a boost of acceleration to get up a hill or overtake some cars - and the battery is very powerful - ie. it can get all that power out very fast - it just doesn't store much energy.
> If a country chooses not to comply, the only option is for the ICC to wage a war to enforce its judgement

not just does the US criminal elite not recognize ICC but they took it one step further with spelling out[1] what might happen if a US criminal is being charged by the court:

"The Hague Invasion Act", allows the president to order U.S. military action, such as an invasion of the Netherlands, where The Hague is located, to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.

... so not only should Israeli and Hamas war crimes be prosecuted, but in order not to appear utterly hypocritical, and "to do right by history", should US/UK war criminals like Dick Cheney, G.W. Bush, Tony Blair, and all other despicable criminal soldiers face the music for what they did in Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, and other places. Kidnapping from a sovereign country, torture, etc ... Just utterly barbaric.

But the US especially is a lost cause considering how they treat the worst transgressors and war-criminals like the execution without trial as in the case of Osama bin Laden. So just imagine if anyone would propose having US war criminals meet that very same fate? It would get you banned on every Internet site for "hate speech" LOL. Which is why it's pointless to cite laws, the justice system or pen and paper to solve something that is immune to that.

> Are you suggesting that China will be satisfied with merely the amount of soft power that they are gaining from funding infrastructure projects in Africa and will not seek additional soft power through other routes?

No, I am not.

I am, however, suggesting that the amount of soft power gained through bragging rights along the lines of "We did it! We did it! We managed to to the same thing the US did in the 60s! And we only had to light a huge pile of money on fire to do it!!!" is kinda negligible when compared to, say, having direct financial influence in many developing countries, or having a couple additional aircraft carriers.

And sure, they could do both, but resources are finite. Every dollar pumped into a, technically unnecessary, moon base is a dollar less they can invest elsewhere.
> Alexander has a lot of failings, and we’re going to get to them. But he was unnaturally composed and at least when it came to doing violence (and getting others to do violence effectively) he was highly competent, almost absurdly so.

I suppose my question is: How do you know this? Alexander was surrounded by hand-picked men his father had groomed for decades in some cases. Offering council on every part of war fighting, from tactics to strategy to logistics. Isn't it entirely possible Alexander simply went with the flow of wiser, more experienced men telling him what to do?

Earlier in the article the author mentions alexander's perfect track record of logistical balancing. Surely that, if nothing else, is far better attributed to his officer corps then him? They'd been doing this successfully for 20 years before he took over, they had lots of practice at it and all Alexander had to do was not upset the apple cart.

Or another example - one man cannot organize a cavalry detachment mid-battle and send it to aid a failing flank. That takes the work of many dozens of officers, and well trained soldiers drilled to follow orders even under intense stress.

Of course this is all speculation on my part, as we simply can't know due to the mythologizing of the man and his life. But it's a question I find interesting to ponder.

Not the exact wording, but close.
I don't really think consumers want or need this.

The battery chemistry used in most EV batteries are not really optimized for a lot of cycles, and they're somewhat expensive to replace, so you're much better off just buying batteries that are made for the purpose. You also have fairly limited inverter capacity in most EVs, as the inverter installed is scaled to run the cars AC and infotainment system, which doesn't really need that much.

You also have to deal with either having beefy automatic/manual transfer switch or separate isolated circuits to prevent back feeding the grid electricity in an outage or during maintenance.

There's a lot of people repurposing used Nissan Leaf-batteries for what you're describing.
> * it only takes 3 people (prosecutor + 2 judges) to completely crumble the western block. You could suspect war crimes for any post 9/11 war campaign and arrest every past and present leader of the Us, France, UK, Australia since 2001 because 3 people said so. That’s way too much power for a small group

There are two additional checks-and-balances which you have not mentioned: (1) Decisions of the Pre-Trial Chamber can be appealed to the Appellate Chamber (2) the UN Security Council can by resolution suspend proceedings in any case for up to 12 months (indefinitely renewable).

So, a prosecution requires (1) the Prosecutor to decide to prosecute, (2) at least two out of three Pre-Trial judges to approve the prosecution, (3) at least three out of five Appellate judges to dismiss any appeal of that decision, (4) either a majority of the UN Security Council or else at least one of its permanent members to oppose suspending the prosecution. That's more than just 3 people's say-so. That's six people plus at least one major world power say-so.

Yawn. In some countries at least, (mine for example) Paypal does the same. If I get a payment (and let me add that I detest paypal but, such are the choices of some employers), I can wait 24 to 48 hours for my money, or I can get it instantly at any time Monday to Friday between 6:15 am and 10 pm, but at an additional cost of roughly 3 dollars. Bear in mind that this is on top of their atrocious, thieving obligatory exchange rates and any other fees they tack onto payments sent to you.

Of course I'm nearly certain that sending me that money instantly costs Paypal nothing, but enshittification creeps into all things, sort of like the dust created by dead skin and human trash. It permeates. Though in Paypal's case, shitty service has been a byword for decades already.

Edit: when occasionally receiving payments in crypto on the other hand, I get charged minimal fees, can convert to my local currency at essentially market exchange rate, and can have the money transferred to my actual bank account at any time 24/7 for free. Yes yes, HN hates crypto and blah blah, but outside the bubble, there are people who find these things useful.

There is typically good connectivity between houses. That means even if your EV isn't home, the other EV's in your street can send your house a lot of energy.

Unfortunately anti-islanding rules from power companies generally disallow you using the power lines between your house and a neighbours while the grid connection is disconnected elsewhere.

These rules could be adjusted though - although it would take a lot of systems design work to ensure power system stability and re-synchronizability even with every possible combination of islands.

The legal issue here would be intent. Of course it isn't illegal to have a voice that sounds like someone else, but Sam seems to have been arrogant enough to actually make their intent pretty easy to piece together with a small amount of public information. A lawsuit would allow discovery, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if internal emails even more explicitly spell out the intent to copy the voice from Her.

Proving intent is extremely hard and I always wonder how anyone that has enough power to pay attention let's their intent be documented. At least for Sam it sure seems to be due to a massive amount if arrogance.

We don't know and that is the problem. A lot of manufacturing is about process and we have rigid processes because it reduces risk. There are no checks in this, no qualification/pilot run, no one checking the design who understands the requirements. The only solace I can find is that the factory might have done all of this, they just want to cover their asses in case something goes wrong.

So that the compiler or interpreter knows the extent of the variable token. Without spaces allowed you would need some other way to tell it where they start and end, like quotes or a special declaration, which would be harder for the brain to parse. If you know a better way please share it.
With an azerty keyboard, underscores are a single stroke of the "8" key. This nullifies the "underscores are hard to type" argument. I'd even wager that the performance results are inverted in my country since snake_case does not require any press of the shift key, unlike camelCase. Also, I'm pretty sure I read a study one time that showed snake_case identifiers to be easier to read than camelCase ones.

Anyways, I think you should follow the specific guidelines of the language you are currently using.

Legally it becomes a problem if it can be shown that the intent was to copy the voice. In this case, it seems like Sam made that pretty clear with only a few bits of public info. If a case was brought against them I can only assume discovery would find internal emails or chats that spell out they were absolutely trying to replicate Scarlett Johansson's voice after she turned down their offer.

> When then battery age out in 10 years, you swap the vehicle.

For this use-case it'd probably be best to go with LFP so you get more lifetime out of the battery.

Though even with Li-ion, I think a modern EV with a big battery will last much longer than 10 years. My old Soul EV with a tiny 27kWh (thus several charge cycles every month) is soon over 10 years and has only gone through half of its cycles at most.

And I would expect that the price of battery replacements for a car will be reasonable in 10-20 years, so should hopefully not be necessary to replace the whole car.
> its new PCs

Whose new PCs?

How they probably intended it: Microsoft-supplied PCs (as the vendor of the operating system and/or hardware)

The snarky second meaning: Microsoft literally owns the PCs (a PC running Windows/Copilot is Microsoft's property)

My preferred interpretation: The new PCs belong to the AI chatbot. The fact that the chatbot has access to everything you do on its new PC is unsurprising.

Yeah, there's no accounting for breakthroughs in training efficiency. I wouldn't count on Moores Law though, the amount of compute you can put into these problems is effectively unbounded so more efficient silicon just means those with money can train even bigger models. 3D rendering is a decent analogy, Moores Law has made it easy to render something comparable to the first Toy Story movie, but Pixar poured those gains back into more compute and is using it to do things you definitely can't afford to.
I would also say Redux. Even though I grew to dislike Redux, understanding the power of reducers was quite mind blowing.

And further I would throw in Tanstack/Redux query.

ExDoc is arguably one of the nicest documentation systems out there, and Erlang moving to it means two things:
1. The Erlang devs do not need to implement and maintain their own anymore.
2. ExDoc will improve faster since people previously working on Erlang’s documentation system shift to it.

It’s really a win for both, and I love it.
