This is ridiculous. People aren't charging 100% of the time, and even when in use, the chargers burst to 80kW, but they don't average 80kW. All you need are some batteries to level the load. Assuming 20kW average, and stall being

Tesla makes the Power Wall. And they have had a ton of orders for them. Those are an asset, not a liability. And merging with Solar City will actually help them sell those with less overhead.

Formal verification is still a pretty young field, and almost entirely academic. This is the first time I've heard of verification of mainstream processors against a formal specification. I am not at all surprised that ARM did not alre

It's not a very interesting graph. Just a measure of the % of defects they found through time with respect to the total number of defects they found. It shows that the process was mostly linear (indicating that there are probably still

I can only point to the fact that cars and transportation in general are obviously about to be heavily disrupted by software--in many ways. Just like phones and communications in 2006.

Like software was about to eat communication in 2006, software is about to eat transportation now.

Everyone really liked their crappy Palm Treos in 2007 too. No one but Apple saw the future of smartphones.

What I feel like everyone is missing is that an Apple Car makes sense for the same reason the iPhone made sense in 2007: The existing technology really blows, and Apple can make a significant contribution. Remember what "smartphones&qu

More importantly, the NASA video is only for a single year (2006). The chart from WaPo that you linked clearly shows the problem with looking at only a single year of data.

You only need a huge dataset to train the network. The trained network itself is (relatively) tiny, so it can be loaded and run on iPhones.

No, the whole point of BI is that it goes to everyone, so there is no disincentive to work.

What I think you're missing is that using a runtime is impossible in an OS kernel, unless the runtime doesn't use any OS features. You at least need to bootstrap enough of an OS before you can use the runtime. It's not the sa

Objective-C requires a runtime, and the Darwin kernel is not implemented in Objective-C. Also, Swift, unlike Objective-C, is not a superset of C.

> Swift will also let you do everything Rust can, very low level stuff. Not quite. Swift requires a runtime, so you probably won't see people writing OS kernels in Swift.

That is seriously hampered by the cost of trade, though. I don't think anyone quite knows how this will play out with regard to exports/imports to Mars. It seems like those on Mars will be handicapped by lots of "survival&quo

I assume you're using the phrase "spaghetti code" to mean "hard to understand code." This is not what spaghetti code means.

I'm not a physicist, but it seems like perfectly reflecting photons in a vacuum is different from being immune to conductive heat transfer in a plasma.

> energy thus "captured" would entail resistance that opposes the work to move the craft Only if capturing motion that opposes the direction of movement.

by nardi 11y ago
That doesn't seem clear-cut to me. There's a lot of energy in waves that could be captured somehow. It's not like a perpetual motion machine.

It's not even close to raw search over the whole move space. AlphaGo searches fewer moves than Deep Junior did, and Go is a much larger game. Your premise is just wrong. AlphaGo is precisely so impressive because it operates much lik

The point here (no pun intended) is to stop repeating noun phrases at the call site. Your call site says "point" twice for no reason: path.addLine(toPoint: CGPoint(x: 100, y: 0)) See the "toPoint: CGPoint". It&#
