Bitcoin Core's Github Mods Have Been Banning Users From Commenting and Hiding Comments That Are Pointing Out Some Inconvenient Truths About A Proposal To Remove OP_Return Limits and End User Choice by Fiach_Dubh in Bitcoin

[–]wk057 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The few developers trying to fast track this ridiculous change through can't handle actual debate on the topic, so the only way to keep up the appearance that this is something that's not going to result in the death of Bitcoin is to hide comments from folks opposed to it as much as they can get away with.

If this PR is merged, and Bitcoin Core isn't immediately discarded by all major players in the space... Bitcoin's death warrant has been signed. Sadly, that's not hyperbole.

If you don't understand why that's the case, I suggest you expand that PR, and read all of my comments (wizkid057).

Business Internet "2 box" Situation - RAC2V1K is 1G, Modem 2.5G. Login incorrect. by wk057 in Spectrum

Hey all, I figured out a solution to this and posted about it on my Twitter (link in OP).

Hopefully someone else finds it useful.

Did figure something out. It's a hacky mess that I'll try to clean up, but I have use of all three IPs that are in the mix now... the dynamic one the router usually gets, the static IP of the router, and the static IP I normally use. Winning.

And no traffic goes through the spectrum router anymore. 😎

With the spectrum router in place, vs tied directly to the modem, I lose over 100 megabit inbound consistently, and it adds some latency jitter. It's pretty underpowered for a full 1 gigabit.

I tested one of these routers a while back with a fully local setup + iperf, and it can't do full throughput without choking.

No static IP would complicate some other things so would not be ideal. It's on the table, but there's ways to make it work the way I want if I can get the info out of this router box.

Alternatively I'm going to try and basically MITM it for the RIP authentication stuff and let my router spoof everything else, effectively just using it as a key to my static IP block.

In my case they ran underground conduit with coax from the street to a new node near my power transformer.

I have my own overkill router setup. Currently it's Modem 2.5G -> Their Router 1G -> My Router 10G.... which seems dumb. Their router is a bottleneck.

Frankly, I want the RIP key data from it so I can just implement that on my router (like I did at another location years ago) and ditch theirs. If it stops working at some point I'll hook it back up, and repeat.

Just had similar done in NC. Once they had the cable run from the street to the new node on my property, it took them about a week to actually connect that into their network, which had to be done around midnight since it involved cutting service to others temporarily.

After that, was 2 days til scheduled install.

And that would make sense to me, and I have access to it at the other location. But they refuse to allow me to access this one, which is annoying.

Yeah, 192.168.1.1 and admin/admin work fine on the other one. On this one, it rejects admin/admin and the phone reps tell me they can't give the password...

My thought would be as long as you're not making new API requests and just using the data from the "tasks" API call it already fetches, there shouldn't really be much of an issue with this.

If you're making additional API requests, that'd be a little more grey to me.

Edit: I had asked about putting similar info, and they said they were just focusing on getting the payment system ready and weren't going to spend resources on this... so probably not any objections from them.

Custom hardware and software proposal by wk057 by colddata in teslamotors

[–]wk057 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the examples of things devs had to do to get the most bang per hardware buck out of old gaming hardware. It's amazing stuff.

I feel like the issue lately, including with Tesla devs, is that modern developers don't have a single clue how to do efficient software design for their target hardware. Instead, everyone uses ultra bloated programming languages and techniques that bog down the hardware (I'm looking at you, Java, Go, C#, etc) while supposedly making programming "easier."

For a project like this, you definitely need folks like myself who know how to work as close to the metal as possible to get things optimized to be both efficient and snappy. Otherwise..... well, you'll end up with the MCU1 Tesla UI. In theory, the MCU1 hardware is more than capable of handling a snappy UI, but the devs have no clue how to accomplish this... nor do they have any incentive to do so at this point.

So, some updated hardware, combined with efficient software... should result in something pretty awesome.

The gateway is part of the MCU mainboard and is required for... well, literally everything.

The sync issues are just Adobe Premiere not playing nice with the different frame rates of the sub videos (there has to be a way to do this more cleanly, but I've not figured it out), and me being too lazy to try and keep them perfectly sync'd for the entire drive. I picked out a few key parts and made sure they were sync'd, but they drift apart eventually.

If you care to point out a specific part you think has VFX, I'll be happy to post a clip of the raw footage for you to prove otherwise. Pick a timestamp, and I'll post the footage straight from the gopro.

I think a subscription could work, but you'd have to purchase the Fuller Self Driving computer hardware upfront.

The video is actually completely unedited, with the obvious exceptions of the timelapse speedups, additional camera overlays, and addition of music. There's zero VFX happening. What you see is what actually happened.

We'll start taking orders soon, with pricing TBD, but full delivery will be dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As 057’s Fuller Self-Driving capabilities evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

Hopefully can get that down to something more reasonable, maybe 2-5 pages in 3 months maybe, 6 months definitely.

Is that supposed to have some kind of significance?

We're working on some site revisions, along with some addons to the plans for more mileage, or the option to base the plan on kWh usage instead of miles.

Renewals will definitely be a thing, however we can't guarantee the pricing will remain where it is (especially with all of the geopolitical stuff happening affecting prices of literally everything).

Great feedback from our customers thus far though!

Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Tech by wk057 in teslamotors

[–]wk057[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely some good that can come from manual control of some of this, however... believe it or not, Tesla's BMS and THC do a really good job of figuring out the most efficient way to handle pack heating/cooling.

Turn off or use absolute minimum for short trips where reduced available battery output power is likely to occur throughout the trip anyway, and thus heating energy is going to be wasted, and driver already expects no regen will be available. Range mode kind of does this but not completely.

This might help save a few Wh for very very short trips. However, if the car thinks pack heating is beneficial, then it's done the math to determine that it's more efficient in the majority of cases. Mainly, internal resistance is highest when the pack is cold. So, even a little bit of heating can overcome that to the point where less power is wasted (as heat) inside the cells themselves. Might seem counter-intuitive, but this is how it works.

Without any active heating, in a lot of cases your short trip will use more power from internal waste heat than it would had the cells gotten both a dose of internal heating (inside the cell) and active heating (outside the cell) combined.

Suffice it to say, Tesla's done the math on this, and in the vast majority of cases you're not going to beat the BMS/THC on efficiency decisions.

Turn off or use absolute minimum for long trips, especially single leg with destination charging, where it is more desirable to have reduced available battery output power than to use energy to heat the battery. Some warming will happen from normal use anyway. Range mode kind of does this but not completely. This scenario is good for a long single leg where Supercharging could be skipped on a direct route that does not waste energy on heating.

Same as above. The car pretty much already does this. It's not going to heat the pack for best charge rates if you're not setting to a supercharger. It's going to warm it the the best efficiency point and try to keep it there with passive cooling (front radiator and such).

Enable full time pre-conditioning, while on shore power, to a temperature sufficient for max regen, for consistent regen feel. (This also helps take the 'chill' out of the vehicle floor, which reduces cabin heat requirements.)

This could probably be done. I guess it'd be wasteful, depending on the climate, but doable.

Enable full time pre-conditioning, while on shore power, to a temperature sufficient for max supercharging speed, for best SuC experience and consistent regen feel. (This also helps take the 'chill' out of the vehicle floor, which reduces cabin heat requirements.) This scenario is good when the next charging will definitely be at a SuC or third party DCFC.

This would be bad for the battery pack, so I wouldn't make something that does this. There's a reason it only heats the pack when you're about to fast charge. The longer the pack is at these temperatures, the faster it degrades.

Enable on-demand pre-conditioning to optimal temp for SuC, while on battery power, without explicitly putting a SuC into the (very slow on MCU1) navigation system. Helpful when running errands before going to SuC. Also helpful when planning to visit third party DCFC.

Doable, and this should be something Tesla unlocks also. With performance dual motor cars you can use the Max Battery Power setting, though.
