That would be ironic because Linus also predicted the death of discrete GPUs.

Then you are repeating the same mistake as the other person: Who is your source? All of the stuff you said, which engineer or scientist is actually saying those things? And no, some well-known critic like Paul Martin doesn't count. Tho

Explorer has gotten a lot worse recently. I wonder what's really going here. For instance, it doesn't remember your folder windows after restart anymore, despite still being an option in the folder options.

You are clearly misrepresenting my point. Your authority is not really an authority for a bunch of reasons. One of which is how he is basically a retired petroleum engineer with very little understanding of the modern state of hydrogen. And

Paul Martin is not a valid authority on this. He is a known anti-hydrogen skeptic and had made many nonsensical claims about hydrogen. The most notable is perhaps his limited understanding of how fuel cells work, and his claim that fuel cel

Well even engineers can have seriously incorrect understanding of an issue, especially if it is many years out of date. You’re argument seems to be based around economically feasibility, not technical issues, right? So then you will also ag

Because it is instrumental to solving to climate change. The better question is why are people unwilling to take the problem seriously? Your understanding is the result of years of FUD against it. People really need to understand that they

The problem is that that is the same idea that people are proposing with hydrogen energy storage systems. The difference is that hydrogen works a lot like natural gas. You can pipe it and fire up gas turbines with it. It is also useful as a

Pipelines of liquid or gaseous fuels is pretty much always going to be the cheapest solution for energy transmission. This fact will inevitably lead to people investing in some kind of green chemical. If not hydrogen, then likely something

The second most economically viable option is basically going to be hydrogen in some way. Either made from renewables or nuclear power, possible natural sources if they exist in quantity. That is why you hear about it so much. But this fact

50 is probably too few. Because it has an international reach, something closer to 200 people is probably necessary. Of course, having 2,000 workers is far too many.

Vertical chip stacking is another idea being proposed. But as you said, that will have thermal problems. It could be possible to stack less power-hungry chips like cache chips, but probably not the main CPU/GPU core. It will just be an

Hydrogen tanks are physically smaller than li-ion batteries. There will come a time when we will use small tanks that fit underneath the passenger compartment. At which point an FCEV has no packaging disadvantage compared to BEVs.

by _hypx 3y ago
Agreed. Hydrogen is going to be nearly free in terms of production cost. It will just follow the curve of wind and solar.

The problem with chiplets is that you can only fit so many of them in a realistic package. Once you hit that limit, you will need a way to pack more transistors on a single die. As a result, chiplets can only partial solve some of the issue

Even carbon fiber isn't that expensive anymore. We can make whole airplanes out of them. Needing high pressure isn't that big of a challenge anymore.

Fuel cell cars already are in the range of normal cars in terms of cost. They cost around the same as regular luxury cars despite being made in tiny numbers. The simple fact is that a FCEV is very simple car to make. Once it hits mass produ

A claim that is categorically false. The Mirai was the first commercially available FCEV, and that happened around 2014. Meanwhile, BEVs are older than internal combustion cars. The whole argument could easily be a repeat of the argument in

It literally is a just a tank. Just a strong one. Why do you have such a hard time understanding this basic fact? And what did BEVs cost when they first came out? These are just excuses that exist to defend BEVs. They are not serious argume

It's literally just a tank. It will be far cheaper than batteries, especially if you want real range. Most of the arguments against hydrogen cars are just attempts to defend BEVs, not serious arguments against them. BEV advocates can&#

Compressed gas is its own energy storage method. This is not a fundamental problem. Also, it does not take that much energy to compress gas. Advancements in technology will reduce this to a tiny amount: https://www.hydrogen.energ

That's total bullshit. A fuel cell is very simple. A FCEV will be significantly cheaper than comparable BEVs. They will cost no more than conventional hybrid cars to build. BEV advocates are suffering from their own sunk cost fallacy.

by _hypx 3y ago
FCEVs are also EVs. People are simply being short-sighted about hydrogen. It will eventually replace BEVs.
