I think the ethernet example from the article showcases pretty well why you would want RISC-V to become a lingua franca.

Usually in the German health sector the use of existing standards is only there for marking off a checklist I have the feeling. In practice things are so heavily adapted that you often cannot use existing libraries. Just look at the authent

The nodules themself offer a habitat with its hard crust compared to the soft sea-floor. As it takes millennia for the nodules to form this means the habitat for those organisms is basically lost.

There’s potentially even more layers. Compute express link allows to expand the system with even more RAM slowly through PCIe And already now you have NUMA where performance is different and depending on which core you are.

The model seems to be replaceable though, it differs by language like described in the article you linked for instance.

Playing with new technology and research is an important thing, but you have to be open that you are doing that and don’t pretend you are developing a usable product.

Photovoltaic uses around 1/30th of the land to produce the same energy as with energy crops. 3% of Germany covered would already be a lot. A hectare gets you around 500 MWh/a, so a square kilometer gets you around 50 GWh/a. 3

Other than for meat, growing plants for burning uses up a lot of space: wood for burning, biogas, bioethanol and biomethanol. Around 13% of agricultural land is used in Germany for producing biogas for instance. Photovoltaics uses 1/30

The problem with carbon capture usually is extracting CO2 from the air and storing it without being emitted again. Methane pyrolysis uses hardly more energy than steam reforming and leaves solid carbon as a side product. You don't need

Hydrogen already is needed today in some processes and some processes can only be made clean with clean hydrogen. The hydrogen ladder offers a good overview of where hydrogen makes sense and where it doesn’t: https://www.linkedin

Night storage heaters are ideal when you have too much base-load available at night compared to use. So ideal to what they were facing in the 60s and 70s: a lot of nuclear power plants were being built that couldn't be regulated much (

Your point is completely valid but physically there still is some room to improve. Hollow core fibers for instance allow light to move one third faster. With 40 Mm circumference and 300 Mm/s light speed in vacuum you have as a physical

Printing money only leads to inflation, if it ends up in hands that spend it, which didn’t really happen. We have massive supply side issues though: extreme gas prices in Europe, raised gas prices in the rest of the world and raised oil pri

I start to wonder if you can eat with too much variety as well. People tend to eat more when there's more variety (low-carb and potato-only diets work mostly by making you bored of eating).

The easier solution for this is PV roofs for cars. People living apartments also have lower mobility needs.

by legulere 4y ago
The solution to the PV problem is wind power. Wind generally blows more during the night and winter. That’s much cheaper and more efficient than generating and storing hydrogen and then turning it into electricity again.

Wire transfers already have a maximum limit of one day inside the EU, so at least you don’t have to wait days and days. Instant payments have the advantage that they better integrate into online shopping. You could have used signed receipts
