Some time ago I added ABS, traction control and some torque vectoring to the Unity CarDemo ... that made the supercar surprisingly handable (is that a word?) even with acceleration levels increased to insane values. Especially with keyboard

> The couple times someone pulled a gun on me As a German that sentence sounds so absurd. I am in my mid-30s and have never held a gun myself. The only weapons I saw in Germany were (holstered) guns on policemen.

Same with some of the City Skylines Youtubers ... I barely can get a functioning traffic network running (without despawning of vehicles) and then there are those who spend ages placing little bushes along the highways because it looks nice

Might also be that people present themselves differently on the two platforms. HN is more about professional discussion while Reddit is more about talking about hobbies.

I guess it is a bit if both. You can of course write fast and loose Haskell code, but best practices will probably prevent you from doing that.

Is this still the same chip but with 20% cores disabled due to manufacturing issues? That at least would explain the same name.

Woohoo! Kudos for building what is a pretty awesome application! Use mine for Zettelkasten style knowledge tracking, Zotero and Vim plugins are awesome ... I guess I should donate some money because I am pretty happy with Obsidian!

You literally describe the setup in a Prius CVT here. You could run your ICE at peak torque RPM in standstill (all torque would go to the small electric motor/generator). Then you accelerate with all three motors in tandem, all the whi

To answer my own question: this is basically the concept behind nuclear ramjets (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pluto ). "Going nuclear" solves the energy density problem here ... the same thing wi

There is an additional caveat: if you search for "electric motor efficiency map" you will find graphs that show that at low power (rpm x torque) electric motors have low(-ish) efficiency. If I get this right it means you still hav

I would assume that electric bikes are in turn beaten by electric velomobiles. Those easily go 25+ km/h with muscle power alone. As long as you are reasonable fit a motor that is restricted to 25 km/h is dead weight on those most
