A video from a completely different time, 15 years ago, January 2011, more than a year before the launch of Model S, Tesla's VP of Vehicle Engineering, Peter Rawlinson shows the technical highlights of the "new Tesla" www.youtube.com/watch?v=48x7...

Greta oto, the glasswing butterfly, ranges from S. America to Texas. They're one of a handful of terrestrial species that are truly *transparent*, neither scattering nor reflecting light. This aids in camouflage in any environment, an alternative to mimicry. (📷: David Tiller)

Our society has a massive blind spot when it comes to how dangerous these giant trucks and SUVs are to everyone outside of them.

Called the Subaru Boxer Rally Spec.Z, it will compete in the All Japan Rally Championship starting with its upcoming third round.

Using ai in academia is literally plagiarism. LLM use uncited works to build from, everything downstream is tainted. A bit like how Margret Thatcher thought Jimmy Savile was great.

this guy wrote great stories, big loss. Great example of multiculturalism working very very well.

Looking closer at the #Gen4 @FIAFormulaE car. The pods behind the front wheel hide what looks very similar to 2022 F1 floor (red) and sidepod inlet (yellow)

There is even a handed bis to the worn grass.

holey shit!

No.

Damn r/F1Technical is toxic and not very technical

Ever heard of the Butter Line?

buried bones unfortunate outcome

poetry i didn't write, but will share defector.com/president-ex...

woot. 10k

so close!

fw13b, its almost done.

An old video from Peter Windsor filming a fw14b test run with a very young Bottas. Interesting fact that from one of the most sophisticated #F1 cars ever, the Vehicle Control Module VCM had 250kB of memory enough for 3 laps.

maybe not

oooow 6hr finish is going to spicey

Damn. Crashing while overtaking another car under double yellow flags is about as bad as it gets. Needing an actual ambulance attend the incident just makes things so bad.

🏆 The only drivers on the grid with 3+ podiums at Suzuka • Lewis Hamilton - 7 • Max Verstappen - 7 • Fernando Alonso - 4 • Oscar Piastri - 3 Someone let Piastri know what the others all have in common 👀

April 1976

Not a bad view for launch

There is a reason US politics is sometimes important or interesting. This, sometimes is a cloud of batshit crazy.

This is a different world.

Afterward, multiple people reached out to ask about our charts - we used Tamara Broderick’s “Distrosaurs” to illustrate statistical distributions. I’m delighted to share that the distrosaurs are available under a CC license: https://tamarabroderick.com/misc.html#

It’s official cherry blossom season in Japan. Here’s my painting of the cherry blossom in Shinjuku Gyoen, Tokyo from 10 years ago. Still available as a print here - jonathanestore.bigcartel.com

A feature on the AMR26 borrowed from RBR, is the front suspension structure. Both forward legs of the suspension are continuous, with a beam joining them left and right. This could either make the assembly stiffer or create a pseudo anti roll effect 🤔 #F1 #F1tech @n_mode_log

nice

Barber forecast update: no major changes…warmest day Fri…then cold front…slight chance a brief light shower survives along that front as it moves in, so might feel a few drops if out and about in B’ham Fri night…but all track sessions dry. Cooler temps Sat-Sun. #IndyCar

Interesting tech. Hall effect sensors have been around for a while and they function like a transistor, but using an electric field for the switch. Tunnelling MagnetoResistive (TMR) is similar in the sense it uses electron spin in two microscale separated ferromagnets to change impendence.

sometimes there is good news

The central section where the majority of these wing produce downforce. Two main flow structure will result with the outer section shaping the out flow, which couple with the outer main section. Vorticity/eddies will start off large slowly dissipating into smaller and smaller eddies, losing energy

vehicles that almost make no sense

Post a pic you took, no context.

Anthony Reid explain the aerodynamics of the 2000 Mondeo Supertourer. Two videos, first is about the front end and how it effects the rear.

A look at @xavigazquez 📸 of the #F1 Audi nose structure The sides are thick & form a large part of the impact structure, the lower edge then trimmed to allow for the sculpted lower surface, hence the chassis mounts are above this line. All this is one piece, not sections #F1tech

What aerodynamic component does the fw13b exploit to perform a high downforce tracks like Hurgaroring?

Did you know guilt was invented in the 1910's by Europeans? Tech bros have unlimited stupid.

After Charles Leclerc (and Max Verstappen) described F1's new racing as being like power-ups in "Mario Kart", Ferrari put a still from Mario Kart 64 on Leclerc's wheel. Mario Kart 64 came out in 1996, making it a year older than Leclerc... Video: Ferrari #F1 #ChineseGP #RaceFans
