Hmm, I was under the impression that the US regulator wasn't entirely useless
Please, please, please re-read that sentence and think about it in light of what you know about the US auto market and its protectionism.
Surely if they had such a serious flaw they would have been replaced already.
I see you're new to capitalism. Can I borrow your unicorn? I want to take it on a walk through fantasy-land.
Great, let's have another world record setting BESS fire.
These are the same packs that caused the last one.
Surely it's a good plan to double down instead of recycling them into something less shit!
I think these are their iPace taxis, so they will be LG Chem batteries.
So then the same shit NCM packs that caught fire in Moss Landing?
Sheesh. Wasn't the total failure of Stargate Universe enough to demonstrate why this is a terrible idea?
Whatshisname McGyver who cannot follow an order if his life depended on it and had the IQ of a squashed grape
As depicted, Jack probably had an IQ of 120 or higher. He just didn't have a PhD in physics or linguistics.
That's one of the things that made Stargate work. Even the characters that weren't the most highly educated were still by and large intelligent, or at least capable of logical thinking.
There are a few of episodes where characters were genuinely stupid — not just uneducated, but failing to listen to logic outright. Those episodes were sometimes a bit cringe, but they were also rare. And none of those episodes were written that way just to add artificial drama to make people feel things (ugh), but rather invariably ended up in a teachable moment demonstrating the folly of willful ignorance and not using your head.
That's great. Oh, excuse me kids, that Stargate series is over there in the adult DVD section, behind the brown curtain. Where's your father?
You mean like the first episode of season 1?
It's bizarre that the various streaming services don't just pick up the director's cut of Children of the Gods and make that the default first episode, and serve up the original one as a separate "show" so that they don't have to have the "nudity" caption on every episode all the way through season 10.
Also, I'd suggest not changing the show formula. Part of why SGU went bad is a change to what worked. Sure, they were stuck on a ship, but the heavy borrowing of formulas from LOST and CW shows felt very out of place for Stargate.
SG-1 poked fun at the concept of a younger, edgier version in season 10... and then three years later, the studio actually did it. I believe the word is "harbinger".
What, exactly, is the point or purpose of including code in your program that is downloaded from a third-party website every time you execute the program?
No, npm is literally the opposite of that.
If you want to include a function or subroutine or library in your program, why wouldn't you just download it and use that?
I run Drupal and it uses composer, which does basically the same thing. But then I want some javascript libraries that you can't get through composer repos itself, you need to get them from npm. So every time there's one of these npm exploit stories I say oh shit, some more shit I need to read. Luckily I'm only pulling in literally two packages from there. But I don't need to do this, I only do it specifically for the purpose of not having my site refer to some other site for those javascript libraries. That way, someone else changing their library doesn't automatically screw up my site, or more plausibly since I am not running any javascript on the server side, start back dooring other people who visit there. So npm is exactly the kind of thing you think people should be using, except with less oversight which is why we keep hearing about loads of compromised packages.
Disagree on this. That's like saying only shows that trek through the stars should be called Star Trek - and yet the best Star Trek series ever made was Deep Space Nine.
Yeah, they had B5 to crib from.
The Stargate is just part of the premise of the followup shows, not a required defining characteristic of them
If you're putting it in the title, yes it is.
Dear friend,
We make certain rules so that we can live in the same nation together. For example, we must to a reasonable extent unify our motor vehicle requirements so that you can reasonably travel to other states without onerous additional inspections and harassment. Alas, with rights come responsibilities.
Signed,
Srsly
Anthropic urges everybody else to pause so they can get their code bloat under control.
Engineers who suddenly produce 8x more code are almost certainly not doing it by writing clean, efficient code. That would mean that somehow it takes less than an eighth as long to explain to the AI what you want to do AND review that code. And for non-trivial code, adequate code review alone can take 5 to 10% of the time it would take to write the code from scratch. So that would have to mean that engineers are not spending any time telling AI what to do. That or AI is reducing the amount of time they waste in meetings. (That was a joke! Ha ha! Fat chance!)
And that doesn't even factor in the amount of time spent figuring out whether it's the right way to approach the problem in general, which often exceeds the amount of time spent on the code. So even if you could reduce the time spent working on the code to absolutely zero, including review time, it should not be physically possible to exceed a 2x increase in code generated.
And there aren't 32+ hours in the day, so we can also exclude the possibility that they are working 4x as long.
So from this, we can safely assume that either their code quality is an abomination or their architecture is, and possibly both. If that's not true, then it's nothing short of a miracle.
The link we wanted was actually in that story, which is worthless by comparison
You can see this on every popular forum and social network. And as far as I can tell, the only people they ever try to verify actually exist are the real ones
My 3 19.2kW EVSEs load balance together, so the total draw on the grid is never over 19.2kW. When 2 cars are charging, each is only allowed 9.6kW. When I need faster charging, I just unplug all but the EV that needs to charge faster (or make sure the other ones are not charging via a phone app). The grid doesn't care if I charge 2 EV's at 9.6kW each, or 1 EV at 19.2kW.
The grid does care. You're charging for two or three hours, and then not using that power for 21 or 22 hours. That means generating capacity has to be brought online to cover that load. And when everybody does this all at once when they get home from work, it creates a significant increase in generating capacity at a time when solar is unavailable, etc., and because that load is brief, you don't get to use clean base load power, and end up spinning up peaker plants (likely natural gas).
The argument on the weight is just silly. The on-board-charger is the exact same size and the weight is listed the same between the 2 parts, I suspect the sizing up of the MOSFET transistors, or maybe adding a couple, doesn't add any significant weight. I'd be willing to bet that you can't tell the difference between the 11kW and 22kW versions by just weighing them, especially if you just took it out of a live system so it may have some liquid coolant in it left.
I'm kind of surprised by that. Unless I'm misremembering, Tesla's high-current charger used multiple modules in parallel for efficiency reasons — I think two modules for the standard charger and three for the high-power charger. Their superchargers do the same thing for the same reason. I kind of assumed everybody did it that way.
Offering to replace my 3 AC EVSE's with set of load balancing HVDC chargers, installed, it not going to be $3K. $3K is a cheap Chinese hardware only. Higher quality 20kW HVDC run $10K+.
No, $3k is the off-the-shelf retail cost for a basic 22 kW HVDC charger. Cheap Chinese hardware for 22 kW HVDC from Alibaba starts at only about $1,000.
Also, I think you're massively overestimating the labor costs here. Swapping one 3-phase charger with another in place means turning off a breaker, removing several wire nuts, unbolting the old one from the wall, figuring out how to fasten the new one to the wall, and putting the wire nuts back on. It involves nearly zero actual wiring work. It should cost only slightly more than replacing a bad receptacle ($80 to $200). If installation is over $500, I'd be absolutely shocked.
So for a basic version, probably more like $1,500 installed. Getting one with better firmware that can do load balancing would cost more, but not an order of magnitude more.
