My data is mostly from having driven around longish trips on the West Coast where I expected it to be a much worse experience than it was, between the bath room breaks, food, faster charges when empty, etc. If you haven’t tried it, I don’t

That’s why the phase out is for a long time and involves public subsidies. I have ridden in cabs that were owner operated that were electric already. TCO was better for the owner despite their great cost consciousness. And a lot of poorer p

For sure. But “stopgap” isn’t keeping a car for twenty years despite the flooding and storms and heat waves and that sort of thing over those decades. Moving some stuff to hybrids for a while isn’t a terrible idea. As well, moving some trip

You might want to look into the science a bit more. The carbon burn is already having consequences all over the place. Transportation and energy are about 65 percent of the emissions, and solar, batteries, and electric vehicles are pretty s

I wouldn't find it acceptible but also I don't do that. Like people said more like 15 minutes. There's some art to it - don't charge to full during the trip, and to reduce your trip time, reduce your velocity to lower t

I can go longer and I could force the kids to go longer but the overall mood is crankier than with more frequent stops. This isn’t really an EV topic but a philosophy of life topic: do you plan to have a relaxed time or do you push thru to

It would be cool, if climate change were a convenient truth, rather than slightly inconvenient.

Google is a complex system so “want” can just include we are making money from the blog spam and while we don’t like it other things take priority over fighting it as effectively as we could.

I like gentoo because I have it set up to compile everything with symbols and the source code in the image, and I can gdb anything I am curious about.

Is there a cite for that? (About true in all models implies provable?). This post is the first I have heard that but it seems very significant.

In my experience conservation biologists are really good at finding animals in the wild. Much better than a typical SWE or typical business person.

Just limiting high volume posters to some limited percentage of the feed would be cool.

It is the sort of thing that people aimed for in the 90s, when there was more velocity in c and c++. If rust lives long enough the rate of change will also slow down.

It's the volume problem - I'm happy to read handwritten pages of my mom's diary from the 1960s, but the reams of laser printer out put from her master's degree in 2000s? Not so much.

I'm taking a masters in mathematics, and for me the steps are at least three-fold: understanding what you are trying to prove, which is mostly thinking about it and maybe reading or talking to people; picking up pen and paper and proce

Ok, I'll download lean4 and read the tutorials. Everything else I've tried that Prof. Tao has suggested has worked well. I didn't really realize that proof software had advanced so far. I tried to do a project in undergrad to

As the article mentions, the generalized continuum hypothesis has been proven to be undecidable in ZFC, and I believe specific Diophantine equations have been proven to be undecidable. Axiom of Choice of course is undecidable from the other

Or Kevlar. I had kevlar tyres for a long while and they did much better at keeping me from flats. Also, over time, I learned which blocks are inexplicably thorn filled or nail filled and just avoided them as a general rule. Also practice ch

It's still more joyous than driving in those same conditions. The wind against the cheek, the body warming up with exertion, the endorphins or whatever when you finish, the biker is much closer to these things than the driver.

Batteries handle considerably more than 0.001% of the grid in California, and they are buying large scale battery installations like a drunken environmentalist. And the batteries are getting cheaper. https://www.scientificamerica

Exactly. Look not at the requirements but at the likely space for requirements over time and build an engine that can be tuned/tweaked/configed to meet all the likely requirements. Makes testing a little harder but makes dev and p
