AMD seems to be providing good alternatives. Arguably the 6600XT or the 6700XT are better value than the 4060. And the 6800XT is a good alternative to the 16GB 4060Ti. And AMD's cards are actually purchaseable right now.

Looks like they're using LiFePO4 batteries, which would explain why the car is stupidly heavy. Wait, they're using a DC motor. How old is this design? (Is it as old as the website design?) I agree, I see no reason for this to exis

I was on an engineering team in college that built full-size racecars (the competition was called Formula SAE). Digikey offered us a 10-15% discount, depending on the parts we were buying, and Mouser offered a 3% discount (at that point, wh

Some how it seems fitting that this article itself had lame edit wars, and there were even lame edit wars about the section mentioning that this article had lame edit wars.

I bought a Fluke 8840A bench multimeter recently. Its manual has comprehensive electrical schematics of the internals! Not only that, a significant portion of the manual is taken up by explaining exactly how each portion of the circuit work

If you haven't seen Big Clive's youtube channel, I recommend it. His in-depth teardowns of cheap chinese gadgets, mostly from an electrical point of view, are second to none. Check him out here: https://www.youtube.com&

I don't think a cylinder is a circle or a square, though. It might look like one when rendered in 2D but it feels like a different thing entirely. Now that I think about it, maybe you could also explain this idea by comparing Javascrip

It depends a lot on how you drive. If you do a lot of hard braking, the car will have to use a lot of friction braking. If you slow down more gradually, the car can just use regen which is gonna be pretty efficient.

More annoying to me than the font size is the font selection. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up using monochrome terminals, but for me monospace fonts are generally terrible for legibility (except in places like coding where lin

It seems to me like the simplest solution would be to run all light rail through the existing transit tunnel. I know it would be a lot of traffic but they've said they can upgrade the signalling system to help. This article gives more

If all goes well, the new Pennsylvania T1 should be able to beat it. There are stories of the PPR T1's significantly beating Mallard's record, some say over 140 mph, but that the railroad was too busy to officially beat the record

If I recall correctly, it will be cast out of multiple pieces which will be welded together.

Ah, yes you're correct, a reluctance motor isn't a permanent magnet motor. Although the Model 3 does in fact use a PMSM - Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor, which is an AC motor. So not all permanent magnet motors are DC.

Umm, Teslas do not use DC motors, I don't know where the article got that idea. I doubt they've ever used DC motors for anything more powerful than an electric seat adjuster. The Model 3 does use a permanent magnet motor, but it&#

To add to what app4soft said, assemblies are not a thing in FreeCAD. There are multiple addons that add that capability though.

Probably never. Sadly the folks at HN have proved over the years that they don't really care about making this site's ui functional. There's no reason I should have to permanently zoom in on this site or make custom CSS just

I understand that there's gonna be a lot of wiring, having done a lot of vehicle wiring myself. What I don't understand is how they ended up with so much more wire than necessary. Is it from putting wires in the harness that didn&

Where is this extra mile of wire going? Surely they didn't just put a bunch of extra wires in the harness for no reason. Were the extra wires a relic of an earlier stage in the design process?

In the 1920s there was a plan going around to build an episcopal cathedral in Seattle, WA. Construction started in 1928, but when the stock market crashed in 1929 they ran low on funds. So they finished the crossing, hurriedly built some wa

I think part of the problem might be that the biggest numbers get the most publicity. So if one person says it's +1 degree and one person says it's +2 degrees over the same time period, the more dire prediction will win. So it&#x2

The headline doesn't necessarily mean that it was warmer 1000 years ago. We might just not have accurate data past 1000 years. In addition, climate change doesn't mean that all temperature measurements are consistently higher all

Does anyone here have stories of triple faults actually occuring on a mainstream operating system? From what I can tell it seems like there's very few situations in which the CPU won't be able to get to the double fault handler.
