hn-throw··on Exploring the Cost and Feasibility of Battery-Electric Ships
Id guess its because large oceanic shipping ships have incredibly fuel efficient engines and batteries cant compete since they're recharged with thermal plants of similar efficiency.
hn-throw··on Oxide Cuts Data Center Power Consumption in Half
I'm going to assume this is on 3 phase power, but how is the ripple filtered?
hn-throw··on Oxide Cuts Data Center Power Consumption in Half
TL/DR, isnt there a single, shared, DC supply that supplies said piece of copper? Presumably connected to mains?

Or are the running on SOFCs?

hn-throw··on How oxide cuts data center power consumption in half
Let's say your high quality supply's yearly failure rate is 100 times less than the cheap ones

The probability of at least a single failure is 1-(1-r)^70.

This is quite high even w/out considering the higher quality of the one supply.

The probability of all 70 going down is

r^70 which is absurdly low.

Let's say r = 0.05 or one failed supply every 20 in a year.

1-(1-r)^70 = 97% r^70 < 1E-91

The high quality supply has r = 0.0005, in between no failure and all failing. If you code can handle node failure, very many, cheaper supplies appears to be more robust.

(Assuming uncorrelated events. YMMV)

The Scofield Bible created ardent Christian zionists in the South among evangelicals.

Israel basically uses them to manipulate DC, whilst its allies in media ensure that Christians getting spat at in Jerusalem isn't widely reported.
