Taking the 2012 numbers you have at your link, the 85KW pack and 600kg, that is 6200 lb to get to 400kwh. The 2015 number on wikipedia is 540kg per 85kwh pack and the model 3 pack is supposed to be 30% more energy dense[0]. The 2015 number

Tesla doesn't publish it's costs but based on what they've said it is a reasonable estimate[0] Cells in bulk are below 150[1] 7 cents per kwh is a very common industrial rate.[2] Maybe it is a bit low but it's a lot more

1.9 was sort of an average from googling. This seems like the most detailed source which has a slightly higher number. https://insideevs.com/tesla-semi-truck-battery-is-how-big/ 600 is just random googling of what is a

I actually think the math really works out well for semis given you can burn through your battery lifespan super quick. Let's say you take two 15 minute breaks + 30 minute lunch per day. That is 1 hour of charge time. Assuming you star

Not MS but there is a project in the works for roughly that(uses same base Monaco editor). Current version of VS code does actually rely a lot on file system stuff. https://github.com/theia-ide/theia

I'm not saying they are unreasonable doses but they are definitely low as far as opioid doses go. Apart from T1/T2s you can't get lower afaik. My point is I don't see that replacing opioids in this case is really useful.

Those opioid doses are all super low, roughly equivalent to a single Tylenol 3. The alternative is a super high dose of acetaminophen. 1/4 your daily recommended maximum. At roughly 3x the acetaminophen + the fairly high dose ibuprofen

Can you just store the hydrogen? Or is it just so inefficient as to be useless? Seems like batteries to cover 95%+ of your use case then having hydrogen backup for for covering rare weather conditions might work well for off grid setups.

Has anyone seen what the promoted tweets were? Would be interesting to see which tweets got promoted. The twitter report says: "Based on our findings thus far, RT spent $274,100 in U.S. ads in 2016. In that year, the @RT_com, @RT_Amer

I wonder what the relative production cost is for the 3D Xpoint vs NAND. Given the newer state of the technology it seems like there might be more low hanging fruit in terms of performance/cost improvement. If Intel can hit a productio

Really enjoying this price and feature war between Amazon and Google. Now who wants to drop their egress pricing to be reasonable?

I think peoples choices in a situation like this will be wildly different than if there was a government provided basic income that was available forever, or at least had the appearance of being available forever. Having extra money for a c

China has over half the marketshare for lithium-ion battery production and that is expected to grow. Tesla might be a single large producer but it is a fraction of the overall world production. Is he even planning to have that much excess c

I think it is really dangerous to hand over an amount of money that lets people completely check out of contributing to society. Alone maybe that is a sketchy amount to live off of but with roommates in an inexpensive area without a car it

There are 164 national currencies in the world. The USD is the defaco world currency and the USD is not worth infinite of other currencies and the rest are certainty not worthless. I think the US government tolerates crypocurrencies because

If you look at this problem realistically it should be offensively easy for AI. The entire world state is available to you with perfect accuracy at a timescale that is trivial for computers but well beyond human reach. Also, there are clear

CS still pays way better than most stuff in Canada and almost every school's CS department is struggling to meet demand. I'm sure there would be some negative effect in terms of demand but realistically the supply side is so const

Wow nice. I feel like a real noob I didn't even know about the command palette. It's too bad my friends on facebook aren't sharing these instead of all the damn recipe gifs.

I wonder what % of truck driving is highway driving? If you are covering the trucks in cameras and you have the control software there already it seems pretty easy(relatively at least) to have someone take over via remote for the last mile.

Yeah for sure. We only had to calculate 1 or 2 iterations of the game and had a random seeded array as input and preallocated array we had to populate as output so there was a lot of optimization that wasn't worth it if you were actual

Perf is fascinating to dive into. If you are using C and gcc you can use record/report that show you line by line and instruction by instruction where you are getting slowdowns. One of my favorite school assignments was we were given a

I think it is actually a lot worse than household incomes suggest. Having a parent stay home is tremendously valuable to a household in providing childcare, food preparation and all sorts of other valuable labour. None of this gets measured

A lot of the videos being demonetized don't seem any worse than what's on daytime TV. It will be interesting to see if Twitch can capitalize on this and start offering more options for non-live content. There already seems to be s

I'd love for libraries to get involved more in tech. I think they are really the ideal public sponsored unit to move quickly and break things in a way that school's aren't. I have a nephew who is 2.5 with 2 uncles involved in

Seems like this would be ideal in cases where you are waiting for file sync in multiple locations which I assume a lot of banks/corporations do. Interesting it seems to be marketed as cheaper memory. You'd think at first they&#x27

The greatest travesty in the world right now is there doesn't exist a multi-government 10xManhattan sized project to develop a really really good battery. It would enable a huge reduction in CO2 emissions(bye gasoline), allow developin

Xeon D's also have a 256KB L2 though then 1.5MB per core shared L3. Whereas this is 333KB per core L2 which is presumably shared. Not really informed enough to say it would be the performance bottleneck but it seems like it would be to

http://www.cavium.com/pdfFiles/ThunderX_CP_PB_Rev1.pdf?x=2 Spec sheet for the CPU is there. I just don't see how IO doesn't end up murdering performance. 16MB shared L2 is across all the cores?
