Higher voltage alone does not magically give you longer sustained maximum power.

Electricity moves itself. You apply power on one end and it flows down the line at about the speed of light. There is literally nothing (other than superconductors) with lower marginal cost per joule transmitted than wire. Wires never blow

Don't you love it when authors completely fail to expand acronyms even once?

People will buy completely wrecked Teslas for $5-20k just to extract and resell the battery modules. Each of the 16 battery modules from an S goes for about $1200 a pop. The secondary market will buy essentially any quantity of lithium cell

Not a useful comparison. A single neuron is far better networked to its neighbors and far more complex/nonlinear than a transistor. There are already chips out there with 1e11 transistors, but they don't run "ai" even a

You could probably do some estimate based on the relative entropy, which should be vaguely comparable between hardware and software

Yep, it only makes sense economically (and physically) if it is big enough to carry a few dozen shipping containers.

You're welcome to write Rust as non-idiomatically as you like! It might take a few lines of #[no-warn()] to silence the compiler, though...

The savings from 1-3 years of depreciation on a comparable Camry makes this a complete non-debate. I love Tesla(s) as much as anyone else, but their cars are still luxury goods.

They state the dimensions in the OP: a mile and a half long at altitude, 10 times larger than the Hindenburg, payload of 20,000 tons. No, not 20,000 pounds - tons.

This is my impression of the corporate "openai" movement's desires: 1. Enslaved robots, meaning they don't have to pay income tax or worry in the slightest about working conditions 2. Enslaved robots, meaning they can er

The article is talking about the problem of Lyme being widespread and poorly understood in general -- chronic Lyme is not a focal point.

You think Lyme borreliosis in its entirety is a hallucination? I guess you wouldn't mind if I dumped a bunch of Lyme-carrying ticks in your home, then.

Thank you for the citations.

You say all of these things, as a probably-not-100-year-old-human, about a genus of highly advanced shapeshifting spirochete bacteria that have spent the past (perhaps) 500 million years living in the bloodstreams and bodily tissues -- and

You can have hundreds of cancerous tumors in your body, each of which is far too small to biopsy. The same is roughly true for borreliosis. You are not making a cogent point here.

No, and that's completely orthogonal to what I suggested! Congrats on breaking the HN guidelines... again.

$5k is hardly a bargain when your insurer refuses to cover it. For some people, $5k is about the cost of replacing their car 10 times.

There isn't a "smoking gun" detector for Lyme in much the same way that there isn't a "smoking gun" detector for cancer. Diagnosing Lyme with blood tests is only one tiny piece of the controversy around Lyme.

1. Yes, Otzi had Lyme: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms1701 . However, it's possible tick populations were lower 50-100 years ago. 2. Yes. The main issue is that nobody wants to pay for the robots, although t
