Nuclear ‘Renaissance’ Recalls Past Boondoggles, Legacy of Failures (www.powermag.com)
 

Dr. Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford University, citing his 2019 analysis he still stands by, serves as an expert witness for the environmental coalition opposing Palisades’ restart. Jacobson has testified that “a fixed amount of money spent on a new nuclear plant means much less power generation, a much longer wait for power, and a much greater emission rate than the same money spent on WWS [wind, water, and sunlight] technologies.”

Dr. Arjun Makhijani, president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, authored “Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy” in 2007. It was the first technical study on the feasibility of generating all U.S. energy from fossil fuel- and nuclear-free sources, including renewables such as wind and solar, combined with efficiency and storage.

Dr. Makhijani concluded then that, by the year 2030 (that is, within a quarter-century), fossil fuels and nuclear power could be phased out of the U.S. economy, and replaced with carbon-free and nuclear-free alternatives, for the same percentage of our gross domestic product currently devoted to those dirty, dangerous, and expensive energy sources. This could be accomplished with no more carbon-free, nucledar-free technological breakthroughs required.

Capcom’s new IP Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess missed sales targets despite high reviews  - AUTOMATON WEST in c/games@sh.itjust.works

The game is very unique.
Really got excited about it, especially after I played through the demo. I loved the vibe, the art, the music.
But denuvo and the price were the blockers for me.

Trouble setting up sliding sync with matrix in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Dendrite doesn't support sliding sync afaik https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/issues/3236

Other than Synapse, I know Conduwuit has sliding sync support.

Amprius ships EV battery that reaches 90% charge in 15 minutes (electrek.co)
 

Amprius’ new SiMaxx cells hit an impressive 360 Wh/kg in energy density – far beyond the USABC’s target of 275 Wh/kg. What does that mean for EV drivers? Simply put, longer range without a bulkier battery. Plus, these cells have a power density of 1200 W/kg, meaning more efficient energy delivery.

Neat! Glad to hear
Yeah they've done a good job with their documentation.
I was tempted by it several times already to try some features I didn't even consider using.

Aptera completes low-speed drive in its first production-intent solar electric vehicle in c/technology@lemmy.world

That's a weird comparison to make. The Aptera is smaller and uses different materials.
Afaik it's going to be classified as a motorcycle in many states in the USA, but they're still aiming for a high rating. I know they have crumple zones and a safety cell made from composites akin to F1 cars.
Whether what they're planning will be enough, we'll only know for sure once they test it.

The math works quite well as long as the information is accurate.
Of course things can always turn up to be different in the end product.
But from the information we have now, ~4 hours of good sunlight conditions will be enough for 43 miles.

The body weighs around 360kg, with a 60kwh battery it supposedly weighs around 800kg (the smallest and lightest option is 25kwh), with a drag coefficient of 0.13.
In comparison to some of the most efficient cars - the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is around 1,860kg with a drag coefficient of 0.21. Tesla Model 3 is around 1760kg with a drag coefficient of 0.219.

It's going to be a whole lot more efficient than the average car just based on these numbers.

Now it depends on how much of the car's surface will be covered by the solar panel and what's the panel's efficiency.

Or 43 miles in Aptera's case

Lexar doubles up the NM790 series SSDs max capacity to 8TB — new drives spotted at retail for approx $1,000 in c/technology@lemmy.world

Just a rule of thumb for the future, don't use a DRAMless QLC SSD as an OS drive.
Or even just a QLC SSD.

Newmaxx has a spreadsheet with details and recommendations - https://borecraft.com/

I've also been thinking of getting the NM790. Just take into account it has no DRAM.
