I’m not sure it’s gentler or in any way different from a tire’s perspective than braking. If I pull my foot off the one pedal driving, the deceleration I get is fairly comparable to about 3/4 braking in an ICE. (Off the top of my head estimate for illustration purposes only.)

But the tires are made of different materials and are different in other ways too. I can tell you first hand you spend far more on tires if you own an EV. Our model y spends more on tires than our giant diesel pickup, and far more than an ICE of similar size. As for the relative amount of microplastics they emit, I really couldn’t know.

You definitely wear your brake pads out far less with an EV. Just eyeing it though, volumetrically, brake pad wear has to be relatively insignificant compared to tire wear.

I’d guess EVs still emit substantially more tire particles, and fewer from brakes but nowhere close to compensating. But I’d not be shocked to death if someone studies it and you turn out to be right.

And on the plus side, those are probably issues materials science could solve (make the tires out of something benign) whereas EVs emit a lot less of other bad things that I’m sure are not easy to solve or they already would have been.
As a business owner, I can tell you certain letters have a look to them before opened and can trigger anxiety and “heart skip a beat.” A letter looking like its from a law firm is going to trigger concern and even calling an attorney. Not fun to then have the rug pulled out. Reminds me of the terrible pranksters who worry people and then say “it’s just a prank.”
Lastly, the younger generations aren't into cars as a hobby/culture like the previous ones were. They don't drive as much and view cars as more of an appliance

I think this was true of the last younger generation, and prob me and maybe you, but from what I’m seeing, TikTok is making anything and everything cool to the youths, particularly trade type jobs. They are realizing how much money there is to be made because our generation didn’t want the work and are embracing the opportunities because the videos they are watching are making it look cool.

Being able to explain it is something different then you being able to understand it.

And double entry bookkeeping should be both easy to explain (there are countless articles for it, precisely because it is a pretty easy concept) And easy to understand if you have ever tried to keep a ledger of transactions around and wanted to audit it for errors.

I believe you mean most drivers. All of this talk about EV tires wearing faster than ICE tires is driven by people accelerating aggressively simply because they now can.

Plenty of blue states have shot down additional taxes. When it comes to pigovian taxes, nearly everyone in America is a libertarian.
Braking is usually much quicker than accelerating, for almost all vehicles (because brakes can absorb much more energy than engines can output). For this reason, I suspect most particulates are caused by breaking.

consumers are already paying heftily… in virginia we pay 4.56% on the value of the vehicle every year plus there is an electic vehicle tax and also million other taxes and fees added.

funny that state with “don’t thread on me” license plate is a bastion of socialism where you are not allowed to own a car but have to pay each year to the state for the right to own the car… the problem of course is all that insane amount of money collected will never be used for anything other than to pay for pensions for former government employees :)
Believe it or not it’s possible, even desirable, to use an appropriate solution to the problem at hand, rather than treating everything as a nail just because you’re find if your hammer.
Russia cannot issue a general conscription, their regime would collapse. You can see this because they are choosing mercenaries and ethnic conscription, and north Korean soldiers.

Russia was already suffering a demographic cliff, this was effectively the last generation of men that could be thrown at a war.

Russia is a racial hegemony of the Caucasian Rus ruling over central Asian ethnic 'stans. Think chechnya and Georgia at a minimum.

So if too many Russians are conscripted and die, they cannot be used to keep the other provinces in line. The entire Russian state collapsed.

Consider that each conscription round entails as much or more population flight from the country, do you raise 100,000 soldiers, 250,000 more flee the country.

Jeffrey Sachs is an economist and he's been criticizing the war for the entire time , repeating points that I'm pretty clearly are direct Russian propaganda parroting, but fine one mans propaganda is another mans opinion.

Putin has shown the usual authoritarian contempt for peace, treaty, and diplomacy. Negotiating a cease fire at this point is appeasement, "peace in our time" foolishness.

Putin thinks Europe is weak and cowardly, and now he thinks the US is working in his interests and will not honor article 5 of NATO.

It’s about the weight of the vehicle; aggressive driving just makes it even worse.

EVs are generally quite heavier compared to similar class of ICE vehicles.

Purego is ffi and is slower than cgo.

That library (like this) claim “no cgo” when they use ffi is just ridiculous.

This one is particularly egregious in even supporting cgo!

Pure go my ass. You’re invoking c functions. It’s not pure go.

The distinction is in the tool chain; cgo is a better, first party solution.

Purego is an unstable (it is, read the repo!) workaround for people who a) don’t like the word “cgo” or b) dont like having a c tool chain.

…but realistically you have to interop with c code in many domains.

Sure, a pure world is great, but that’s not always possible.

People who don’t like cgo and choose purego are doing it for, mostly, optics (cgo is bad! This isn’t cgo… it’s ffi… totally different) and appear to fail to appreciate the technical distinction more complicated than they imagine, and they are still using c.

I think the cleaner alternative would be to use a static or class method as an alternative constructor and use the init the dataclass decorator provides for you. Eg something like:

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Foo:
bar: int
baz: str

@classmethod
def new(cls, bar: int) -> "Foo":
baz = calculate_baz(bar)
return cls(bar, baz)

foo = Foo.new(10)
There’s quick ICE cars too, but they don’t weigh as much as the 100 or so kWh battery pack in EVs
The lower limit in most jurisdictions in the US is 13 tons. And also, in most jurisdictions there is an exemption for vehicles used for personal recreation (e.g. you can absolutely drive a Volvo tractor to pull your enormous fifth wheel toy hauler with nothing more than a basic driver's license).
I wasn’t expecting a research paper. More a vision paper.

But there are examples given of gardeners and bakers. I don’t know how many actually rely on SW to make their day to day decisions. So the examples may not be super accurate. But the point still stands that no matter how big the AI models get, you can’t model for this variable called the last mile.

I work in an engineering field that has a lot of both. It is interesting to compare someone with a PhD going into industry fresh vs someone with like 4 years of industry work experience. They both graduated undergrad at the same time, but took two vastly different paths.

The PhD employee generally has a stronger grip on the mathematical fundamentals going on behind the scenes and knows what kind of questions to ask. The employee with the undergrad degree and more experience, generally has a lot more familiarity with the tools and processes (coding, SQL queries, understanding how the company works...etc). A lot of PhD folks have all kinds of things on their resume like "Python" when their total experience was editing their advisor's old script.

Both approaches are valid. The PhD employee eventually will pick up more practical skills and if the undergrad is any decent, they'll push themselves to learn more theory. The PhD employee has the potential for more doors to open, but gave up 4 years of savings/retirement.
That was 40 years ago. In the interim capitalism has won and democracy is failing. Agreements like Montreal will never happen again, at least not in our lifetimes.

The American V8 was a high performance product at an entry level price. During the last couple years the Dodge twins got ridiculously expensive (the Challenger 392 is now almost as expensive as the Hellcat was in 2016).

The problem with the turbo engines is they are way more expensive to do anything with and they come in expensive cars. BMW, Audi really being the only things that are 'fast'. Subaru, Kia, VW are all pretty much low-level performance. And then you have really expensive stuff like the Nissan GT-R.

Turbo engines have been around for a long time, they're nothing new. And they have always been part of the car scene. But again, the lower price options aren't really competitive, they were at least close in the 2000's.

And again, the Ford ECU has been out for two years and nobody has cracked it.
Fun fact: this is common knowledge in Brazil since the "national drink" is a caipirinha made with fresh lime juice, so if you drink it on the beach, people will explain for you to be very careful -- if you spill a little accidentally on your leg and don't rinse it off and stay in the sun, you'll get a dark spot that will last for months. Happened to me once.

Ever since, I've been baffled as to why this seems like common knowledge there, yet nobody anywhere else seems to have the slightest idea that this is a thing as far as I can tell.

I've always wondered if anybody ever tried it intentionally to "tan". For me it looked just like a big spot that was super tan, significantly darker than actual tanning can get me. It didn't look unhealthy in any way, just darker. I have to assume it has negative effects though...

> And it's so far from being patentable I hope I don't have to explain why.

I would say the same thing about a lot of things the USPTO has handed out patents for. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if someone could obtain a patent for this, if the patent application was written the right way. Whether such a patent would hold up in court is an entirely different question.
Typical EVs are about 10-15% heavier than the comparable ICE. Yes it makes a difference, but only marginally. Normal drivers without a lead foot get 10s of thousands of miles from tires, just like ICE vehicles.

Also, few EVs that are not pickups have 100 kWh batteries; more typically 60-75.

Maybe I have this wrong somehow but I thought that could be categorised as "wear".

IE don't buy the tyres that last 1000[preferred units of measure], buy the tyres that last longer.

But then you could get into "performance per unit of wear" and how that is all defined is a wombat hole of discussion.

Wait why should startups have absurd mission statements? That doesn’t make sense to me
Your hypothesis then, roughly, is that braking causes more pollution when it's more extreme (since the total braking work being done is at least as great -- in practice much greater because of the increased mass), so smoother braking will reduce tire wear.

I'm inclined to believe an extreme version of that hypothesis -- I doubt 200k miles at 1mph would wear the tread substantially -- but in practice I don't think that's the case. Electric cars tend to replace tires around 10k miles sooner, so the net effect of everything involved (heavier cars, regenerative braking, rich young guys driving faster, mostly city driving, ...) is 15-50% more tire wear per mile.

Having received actual legal letters before, my personal experience is that I would much rather receive normal looking holiday cards to encourage me in continuing whatever I was doing, rather than being surprised by official-looking letters.

It’s cool to see this kind of analysis, even if it’s analyzing a totally bogus benchmark.

If you want to compare language runtimes, compilers, or CPUs then you have to pick a larger workload than just one loop. So, if a microbenchmark is an experiment, then it is a truly bad experiment indeed.

Reason: loops like this are easy for compilers to analyze, in a way that makes them not representative of real code. The hard part of writing a good compiler is handling the hard to analyze cases, not loops like this. So, if a runtime does well on a bullshit loop like this then it doesn’t mean that it’ll do well on real stuff.

It is doing for local apps what JavaScript has not - a usable toolset for majority of use cases without a ton of overhead and interference.

Will it still be maintainable in 30-40yr? Just the other day I pulled my 80 series Land Cruiser's windshield wiper motor to epoxy one of the permanent magnets back on (it had come loose from the housing and was making a horrible grinding noise). That part is made to be rebuilt, it's every bit as simple and straightforward as the century old Westinghouse motor in my drill press. I'm confident with nothing more than my lathe I could manufacture the parts necessary to keep that thing working indefinitely.

The problem with modern cars in my view, in no particular order:

1. Too much proprietary software.
2. Proprietary interfaces--no way to swap computers between cars. They're universal computers for fuck's sake, why can't we just replace them? If my 1995 Toyota had sensibly designed, open interfaces I'd be easily able to replace any computer on it with off the shelf components.
3. Too much complexity. The hardware and software has gotten so intricately intertwined that reverse engineering it is pretty hopeless, at least from the perspective of someone just trying to keep their vehicles going. Even if point (2) above were addressed and we started talking seriously about building stuff that's meant to last we'd still have to face how damnably complicated these systems have become.

The problem in my view is nobody is trying to make an EV that I'd still want to own in 30-40yr. I'm confident if I watch the market and stockpile enough parts, and learn how to rebuild the ones that are getting rare or NLA, that I'll be able to make this 1995 Cruiser go indefinitely. If I have to make my own transmission control unit or engine controller I'm pretty sure I could do that, or hack some cob job together well enough to get me down the road. I have no such confidence about "modern" vehicles.

If someone makes an EV that looks like I'll still be able to keep it going 30+yr from now I'll buy it on the spot, but so far they all look like 5yr lifespan landfill bait.
