Wow, these FPGAs are not cheap. Don't they also have a couple of ARM cores attached on the SOC?

Highway speeds are worst case scenario so maybe you're right but I doubt it.

Your charge rate acceptance number is surprising to me, I've never seen anything like this in my years of experience designing EV batteries. Preconditioning helps extreme fast charging but isn't necessary for 1-2 C charges at all unless it's very cold out.

There's some caveats to this depending on the exact chemistry but if anything the newer semi solid state NMC cells are even less dependent on this and can charge down to -20C.

EV battery engineer here. It's not hard. Battery management systems are often over engineered but the state of the art is fairly straightforward and will allow battery packs of sufficient size last 200k miles or more easily.

I dunno the PhD electrochemist that I know who spent a long time teasing out the conditions and requirements for megapack operation didn't think it was trivial. That's also the reason Tesla pays Jeff Dahn so much money. A million miles/20k cycles is the goal.

Not true, all my boards have been subject to the tariffs going back to the first Trump administration.

I highly doubt it's true. I can usually approach the same speed in C if I'm working with a familiar compiler. Sometimes I can do significantly better in assembly but it's rare.

I work on bare metal embedded systems though, so maybe there's some nuance when working with bigger OS libs?

The difference is probably that you don’t work in an environment that supports SIMD or your code can’t benefit from it.

You're correct, I don't use SIMD instructions much, but I can, and with a C compiler. So still, not sure the advantage of ASM.

Which they exert through promotion or demotion of speech. In the end it's still a free speech issue in my mind.

Not necessarily. China pursues many objectives when it comes to its national security, such as intimidation and coercion of dissidents or opponents of its regime living abroad. Assuming China's equivalent of the Patriot act lets it treat TikTok user data as an open book, there is a lot for them to learn from it.

Foreign governments don't have a right to free speech in the US. They never have and the very idea is absurd. It's getting really tiresome to have to repeat this.

To mimic the effect of gravity on the surface of the earth you could stand on a platform that is accelerating. As long as that platform is accelerating you will experience something similar to gravity on the surface of the earth.

The relative direction of the acceleration would be "up". This is what she means.

ok this clears it up, thanks!

this is obviously a very confusing topic, as evidenced by the other replies that either don't get my post, or the post above :D

300k on my Toyota right now. Most modern ICE engines should last 200k with no problems. EVs (other than the battery) should last a million miles. Even the batteries are turning out to last longer than everyone expected, ignoring some notable notable failures.

Betting on Teslas didn't work out so well for Hertz due to expensive repairs. Rental cars take a beating, though.

All of this is easily done on a filesystem too. I would assume this is a performance tradeoff rather than features?

It works, and well, considering the constraints in iOS, but doesn't compare well with Androids version. Regular sync thing on Mac is awesome.
