That's an interesting study but doesn't establish the relationship GP claimed. Does lend some support to the idea it's a contributor.

A 1U rack is a small machine, but a few hundred of them+ in a constrained space is a different story. At larger scales, moving electricity in and heat out are usually the defining factors.

Jets don't use avgas (which is still available with lead), they use jet fuel. The planes you are thinking of are mostly used for hobby flying or some short haul commercial flights, e.g. float planes. These have piston engines, more lik

It's not on the consumer facing site, right? I think everything there is industrial purpose. And the "Actros" line is all tractors.

Much longer than 20 years. But the reason it hasn't taken off is that both the economics and the physics don't work very well for consumer vehicles.

Perhaps because it was not written for those outside a particular field?

Contrarian probably isn't the right term, but there is real value in having someone come at the problem with a different set of blinders than you have - particularly if they understand their role is not to redo the design but to stress

One thing about legal and financial is that there is more accreditation and industry guardrails around them - HR too to a lessor degree. I think this makes it easier to get to "this person can definitely do the work" than some o

That's an idiosyncratic usage of left/right leaning.

Your point (1) applies more broadly, I think. As you grow any company, you are at some point going to have to bring people in with more expertise in an area than you have. You need a strategy for this and to develop effective ways to eval

Incrementally is the answer to most of your concerns, but the specifics will depend a lot on context. More concretely, this is bread and butter stuff for engineering leadership. I mean that in the broad (including experienced staff) sense,

> The right to repair people are leftists I think this is an oversimplification at best. Right-to-repair has huge support amongst e.g. farmers, who are not homogeneously left-leaning by any stretch.

You are mixing up several levels of abstraction. It probably helps to realize that the GPU accelerated ML stuff was originally built on top of dedicated graphics libraries/APIs but diverged as it has different needs. You have here th

Agreed. Part of it is geometry too - especially if you have front bags.

If you are really loading up a bit, cross-section is pretty much impossible to avoid. The trick is to get comfortable with going a snails pace into a headwind, and enjoy the free ride with a tailwind...

To a first approximation, nothing can be translated 1:1. It's a genuinely hard problem. Even the idea of "correct translation" is slippery.

You think so? They have such inconsistent reporting, and the data is the exactly hard kind to aggregate massive sets of.

Compiled lisps have been a thing for nearly as long as lisps have. IIRC the first one was in early 1960s. It's a cultural oddity how strongly people seem to associate them with interpreted code.

For more direct comparison, there are motorcycles on the market that can produce ~150kW , to transport about the same amount of stuff. Bicycles are really efficient (and those motorcycles are very fast)

You don't really need an RTOS to do something like this safely, but agree you need more firmware knowledge than "tinkers with Arduinos" to stay clear of possible unfortunate failure modes. You definitely need to build in so
