Searched for any chiptunes (in the original meaning) on that site, the only ones I could find are here: https://chiptune.app/browse/ModArchives/Dreamfish . Perhaps there are more? In the 1990s chiptunes meant *tr

Ok, Supercharger v4 specs say 600 kW. A bit confused, perhaps there will be two different versions; 600 kW for Cybertruck and 1 MW for Tesla Semi. Some V4 stalls have been already installed, apparently max. 615 kW unless limited by availabl

I think the new version is supposed to be about 1 MW.

"They standardized on CCS Type 2 Combo" Unfortunately so. Have you seen the size of that monstrosity?

I think it's straightforward to optimize to a point it's maybe about 10x faster than the "optimized" version. The answer is of course SIMD vectorization.

There are some Li-ions that are supposedly drop-in replacements. However I think many are 16 volts. There's some push to go to 48V+ Li-ions. We shall see.

Reads pretty much like an advertisement. Nothing that interesting; 2D game engine Construct moved to WebGPU, and reaps some obvious performance benefits. Great.

Also these tunes are XM modules. XM is a popular tracker. Trackers are type of music making software pioneered by Soundtracker on Amiga. I wouldn't be surprised if many of these tunes have just been ripped from somewhere else and not a

All else equal, larger L1C footprint code still microbenchmarks nicely, but is pretty often worse in a real system. Sometimes it's better to choose a slower routine with a smaller footprint. Nowadays memory bandwidth is arguably the bi

"the statement "all Teslas are EVs" because of the one ICE conversion from Rich Rebuilds." You can actually buy these CSS DC chargers online and have them installed. Comparing to something one-off rather unreasonable.

That's a pretty bold statement. There are millions of people for whom 20k€ is chump change. I'd be surprised if those installations are not counted at least in thousands.

It's called CCS in Europe all the same. No idea how many installations, but the point is you can have one at home.

IIRC, in Europe you can buy 40 kW CCS charger for about $20k and install it at home. You only need 3x63A (~43 kW at 230V) line to run it. A quick web search finds a lot of CCS charger resellers.
