Its amazing that is cheaper to destroy a disabled tank with thermite from a drone than an munition of some kind.

Here’s a great video going down to the hex level for how to extract the cleartext out of unsaved Notepad files using the temp cache files: video

This has me insanely curious as to where these are common and what are their emissions laws. Time for a trip down a rabbit hole.

I looked into getting one of these or converting my own car to be gasoline and methane about 15 or 20 years ago. Here’s what I learned during that time. I don’t know if any of this legal information is out-of-date now. During the really early days of bi-fuel cars, homebrew cars were very bad polluters because they’d skip the emmisions systems altogether. This changed when the law was put in place requiring catalytic converters on all cars that burned gasoline.

The challenge then with a bi-fuel car was you needed to build an emissions system that is compatible with two entire different fuels, with different combustion products. That is not a small challenge. This is fine for the gasoline side, however, there isn’t really a catalytic converter for methane because the exhaust gasses were actually cleaner than exhaust from a gasoline engine even after passing through the catalytic converter. So there was no market to create a cheap methane catalytic converter because it would have been nearly useless. The law didn’t care though and there was no exception for bi-fuel cars.

There WAS an exception in the law for methane only cars, which is why you could actually buy methane (CNG) cars from major manufacturers like the Honda Civic GX:

If you wanted to buy a used one of these, you can still find them and fill your CNG tank from your home’s natural gas line.

Sure, and I do that too, but that a problem: you’re limited to only a single line of text about 200 characters long

One of my biggest problems with the new notepad is you’ve lost using it as a forgettable scratch space. Anything you put in the new Notepad now gets written to your drive, even if you don’t save the file.

You can’t type or copy/paste anything sensitive into notepad anymore as a temporary space even if you don’t save the file.

I would see it being similar to having 2 gas tanks in a car where one is for a high octane fuel and the other for a low performance fuel like ethanol.

And these exist completely separate to EVs. They’re called bi-fuel vehichles.

“How Do Bi-fuel Propane Vehicles Work? Bi-fuel propane vehicles typically use a spark-ignited internal combustion engine. A bi-fuel propane vehicle can use either gasoline or propane in the same internal combustion engine. Both fuels are stored on board and the driver can switch between the fuels. The vehicle is equipped with fuel tanks, fuel injection systems, and fuel lines for both fuels” source

They aren’t common in the USA because of they way emissions laws were written which made it uneconomical in many cases for auto makers.

There isn’t the same challenge in EVs, especially where we’re talking the “fuel” is just electricity which is common to both chemistry batteries. I see no challenge for EVs.

My guess is he would use a wheelchair at home where the area is prepared to accommodate it. The exoskeleton is likely slower and harder to wear around the house, but can make him mobile in places where a wheelchair can’t go.

If you meant for a single car, that might be a bit lofty,

What difficulty do you see with this concept in a single car? This technically exists already as there are multiple charge controllers and BMS systems in EVs shipping today, they are just managing different modules of identical chemistries in the single car.

If you have solar panels on your house, and your car isn’t at home when that sun is shining, then that would be a good use of one of these for a residential application.

I see a future where an EV will have two batteries each with different chemistries. An example would be to have LFP for the “main” battery which can take a beating but is less dense, and an additional NMC battery which gets used far less frequently, but is available for the less frequent long distance needs. This could also mean that when the LFP is dead from use, it can be replaced independent of the NMC which will have had a fraction of the charge/discharge cycles.

As others have said, this is for grid-scale and not EVs, but still exceptional progress and very important for energy storage.

I would argue that grid-scale energy storage is even more important than EV needs today.

There are no “good guys” in this, but from a technical perspective that is an insanely successful intelligence coup to get your own agent in the other guy’s shop as the one supposed to be watching yours.

It makes me a bit sick to think about how many of his own people he had to sell out (with the blessing of Israel) to earn a position that high. I would not be cut out for that type of work.

At least to me the use of memory palaces actually precludes the use of the stored information at the conceptual level.

For me the usefulness of memorized information is the concepts it links to elsewhere in memory. Memory palaces replace these conceptual links with the “physical” link to the location in the memory palace reducing the information’s actual usefulness. So what is produced in my mind is a linear list I can recite, but those words have no meaning conceptually.

For me, memory palaces work great at a party trick, but information is useful to me in conceptual form with its many links to other existing concepts I have, not as a rote list.

It’s insane how many Russians have volunteered to die for a few thousand dollars, for the past year.

The driver is information asymmetry on the part of the volunteers. Yes, people are volunteering and dying for a few thousand dollars, but they don’t know that.

They know they are volunteering for a few thousand. They don’t know that it is certain death.

That enemy drone, acting as a spotter, could cost the lives of many UA defenders by giving away their positions or correcting artillery fire. Our UA Mavic probably had the grenade and would have had to drop it anyway to try an take down the enemy Mavic by ramming it. So…might as well try and drop the grenade on the enemy Mavic first!

Anyone reliant on cloud offerings is stuck.

There are multiple public clouds. AWS is not the default choice a company uses for a public cloud offering anymore.

The Dead Sea Effect

I’m not quite grasping the context you’re asking the question, but I will say gender matters on Lemmy in the sense that I want full representation from all genders (and non-gender folk). The value of conversation here is derived from the many viewpoints that each of us bring. Without full representation, we’ll be missing valuable inside and perspective if a specific gender (or non-gender) is missing.

Nintendo is one of the worst and most unethical companies on the planet. Would be nice if there was a community where people could share their hatred over Nintendo. The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are basically HP, Apple, Nintendo and Nestlé. Fuck all shitty corporations but fuck those 4 in particular.

I agree with you on Nestlé, but HP, Apple, and Nintendo don’t even make the top 50 “worst and most unethical companies on the planet”. You need put in companies like Union Carbide India Limited responsible for the Bhopal disaster, the big tobacco companies, a whole bunch of defense contractors, some other agribusinesses, and a bunch of banks.

I would bet that he only still knows a few words and phrases.

Confirmed with this speech he gave as President when in Indonesian.
