Yes the Amiga had a form of UMA as did many other systems, the term UMA seems more widely used than "shared memory" its definite not just a marketing term. I don't believe Apple claimed to invent unified memory only that they

Memory is unified its just not on die. CPU and GPU and AI share unified memory which means zero copy transfers between them.

I believe the difference in moving parts between a combustion engine and electric motor is about two orders of magnitude (20 vs 2000). I would say "practically no moving parts" is an ok term in relative comparison but thats just m

Did you even read how they attained 75% efficiency on the SOFC with gas turbine? They fed 25% of the fuel to the gas turbine and it was creating at least 25% of the power, they then tried 45% of the fuel with a 50/50 power split. Is a

I am the one who asked the question and your response did not answer it. I am still not sure what your point is, are you saying Tesla should have no steering wheel check either? Can I get a clear response instead of argumentative rambling?

If a turbocharger is configured to act as a heat recovery turbine it is significantly more complicated including again a generator. Therefore it can not be simpler than an electric motor, this should be obvious. This is referred to as turbo

I thought we where talking about hydrogen which is 2800 wh/kg not methanol which will produce CO2 when used. Now your fuel cell needs 100% conversion to get that energy density in electrical form. Goal post moved, got it.

I asked what driver checks the Tesla has and you are making what point? It seems based on other actual answers to my question there is only a steering wheel check. Are you proposing there should be no checks and it's purely the drivers

How efficient are algae at making hydrogen vs a solar cell splitting water with electrolysis? How efficient is that vs just charging a battery with the solar cell?
