AC still generates significant heat unless extremely high voltage.
For example where I live, the main reason why I can't have an electric vehicle charging off my heater box in my parking spot is because...
drumroll...
underground cable fire risk.
You should stop guessing what it means and read their papers.
They want places like one I live in, not like one you live in. Where population density is very high and "houses" don't exist. It's all apartment complexes.
Even worse, a lot of people prefer underground cables.
You'll have to run active cooling lines with those wires underground. And guess how often active cooling will fail, resulting in need to keep digging those cables up?
This is made worse by the "15 minute city" push which ensures that home charging is just not going to be a thing in any meaningful capacity.
It's probably more about performance. That instant torque and one pedal driving makes a lot of otherwise normal drivers into awful drivers.
I've seen this happen with quite a few people. Man switches from normal car to Tesla, starts speeding. Because it just accelerates so damnably fast, and it feels good that it does.
"Tesla smile" is a meme for a reason.
And neither of them are going into actual production cars.
First time dealing with "this how we do marketing in PRC"?
Yeah, because when SpaceX loses equipment as they do a lot they just spin it as a valuable scientific learning experience and not a disaster at all, and the credulous press and even more credulous Elon fanboys on sites like Slashdot swallow it hole.
There's no research going on, because this isn't something you can address scientifically with any semblance of hope of getting it.
So what we have instead is modelling, aka "data science". It's essentially numerology pretending to use tools of science.
Why do I say that?
Science is about a specific process: you make a hypothesis, you set up a test of your hypothesis, you test it, find it true or not and based on that your hypothesis becomes a scientific theory or a rejected hypothesis.
"Data science" works in exact opposite way. It generates no hypothesis, instead if generates "how world should work according to our best guess" model. I.e. it starts with the outcome "this is how world should be, now let us pick the numbers to demonstrate it", rather than the premise "world may be this way, let's see if it's true". Then it proceeds to plug numbers, both guessed and real into the model. Then they see if the output, and begin adjusting the numbers to get the outputs they desire.
As a result, science doesn't care about scientist. Hypothesis is either repeatable or not. Modelling is all about the human. Which numbers have been selected, which left out, which numbers have been guessed, and what multipliers were assigned.
And that is why "environmental modelling" has been so hilariously wrong all the time. Remember all the "2020 is the time when all the models from 2000s claiming to predict what happens in 20 years had to be actually tested against reality, and they all ran hilariously hot compared to reality". That was IPCC's reckoning at the time.
Nothing meaningful has changed since then. Modelling is still "top tier climate science".
Nah, Mozilla has been naming things after things that already exist for years.
Remember Mozilla Phoenix? Mozilla Firebird?
If I had that kind of money I'd have stepped down long ago to live on a private South Pacific island with rum, hot tubs, and supermodels.
We've gone from Nature discussing infinite genders and other "human is a socially constructed ubermensch" woke nonsense to this. "Yes humans are evolved, yes different groups evolve differently and yes that includes general intelligence".
I guess study was big enough, and muslim leading it was scary enough that wokescolds just couldn't torpedo this one as they did with the one in 2017.
The problem doesn't occur if you have huge pages enabled, which is a good idea for a database machine anyway, as running without huge pages has almost as much of an impact on Postgres performance as this regression does. So no need to way for postfix to ship the spinlock bug fix.
Yes, for European ethnic groups. There's a reason for this too. Africans in US don't volunteer to being medically experimented on for historic reasons nearly as much as europeans.
It's a lesser version of a large problem we have with medicine being more poorly suited for women than men. Because women have a much lower risk tolerance, and so they don't volunteer for medical experiments of treatments and medications either.
Those who volunteer are the ones who medicines and treatments are optimized for, and who's medical problem patters end up as medical benchmarks.
I.e. "geriatric pregnancy starts at 35".
