Right, for that kind of scenario an EV is currently not a good idea for most people.

Offset by the fact that you get many of the good properties of a Prius and a Corvette at once, and don't pay for gasoline or oil changes. (electricity is generally an order of magnitude cheaper) As well, anyone buying an EV today, shou

On a road trip there is some inconvenience yes, but for the rest of your driving life there is less gasoline station trips you have to make. Say you road trip twice a year and have to waste 45 extra minutes in an EV. But in an ICE vehicle

One issue Teslas have is when there are failures it will not coast, or let you push the car. I think that needs to be addressed somehow. A model s owner had a scary situation like this where his car failed and he couldnt get it off the roa

yep, though below freezing it will get worse

Many people enjoys EVs in extreme cold, you just either don’t do winter road trips in them, or live with lots of charging stops when you do (or wear a coat and dont heat the cabin much!) A 250 mile range cut in half is still more than e

Did you take the time to read the articles? For many of the evs the range hit WAS minimal

Newer Teslas with the heat pump do great in 30deg F temps, as the graph shows, but for extreme cold like 0 and below they suffer similar to the other cars, as heat pump efficiency can no longer win at that point.

yep, got any ideas?

the bigger the cache the longer it takes to address it, and kinda fundamental physics prevents it being faster

I don’t know, I have observed in my workloads, booting, game load, and building programs, that super fast ssds make almost no difference compared to cheap slow ssds. But any ssd is miraculous compared to a spinny drive Presumably video edi

There is some improvement from processors being faster, as more instructions are done at once and more instructions get down towards that 1ns latency that l1 caches provide. You see it happen in real life but the gains are small.

by gameswithgo 5y ago
An instructive thing here is that a lot of stuff has not improved since ~2004 or so, and working around those things that have not improved (memory latency from ram all the way down to l1 cache really) requires fine control of memory layout

The RD180 looks like 2 engines, but it is 1 engine with two combustion chambers. A clever trick to simplify the problem of combustion instability in large combustion chambers! Rocketdyne's F1 engine which powered the Saturn V spent yea

The RD-180 is still by many measures the best engine that has been to orbit. SpaceX Raptor is putting up better numbers but so far has only flown short hops and test stands.

It is very weird how seriously they are being taken before they have even reached orbit, at all. It was a bit of a stretch the investment spacex got when they had just reached orbit once with a small rocket, but at least they had done it.

The article states they have no capacity available

I imagine SpaceX would launch enthusiastically. Sad to see roscosmos obliterate itself.

Perhaps author of essay will volunteer to be on the front lines of an american strike team since he doesn’t approve of financial pressure against evil. Sadly that will also affect innocent bystanders by causing then to be exploded, as will

Yep, that is good enough. What makes Linux so horrible of an experience for many desktop users is so much of the software is built with a server mindset, with a vast array of dynamic linking that often does not work. If the software is an

Einstein was a professional and known entity, he just also had a job as a patent clerk.

I think it is largely "casual" gamers and or gamers who can't afford the upfront $50 or $20 for a game and are lured in by the "Free" game and then of course addiction kicks in and they spend $100 or more on it. Sad

poster was arguing that things should work differently than they do. for some reason it is common when people argue for change for them to get lectures about how things are. weird stuff.

The model Y in Austin is supposed to use the 4680. Remains a question if the high horsepower cars can work with the bigger cells.

For the co2 equivalency analysis you really need to compare the total GHG byproduct of the production of each entire car and their fuels. The EV has a battery which is energy intensive to produce, but some of that would also be required to

The future always has the potential to be better but now is already very good, unless you have specific needs, like towing a big trailer long distances etc. Most people who own EVs have been loving them and working out well.

Is there any legitimate way to fund armament as well?

I have a two story home with one central air unit and the distribution of heat is terrible, some rooms get super hot, the whole downstairs is super cold. Are there any affordable steps one can take to improve these kinda of problems?

putting variable inputs like solar and wind on the grid makes the grid more expensive to manage.
