主题:特斯拉喜欢叠叠乐 -- 鸾鸟轩翥
电池是7000块叠一起的
Falcon火箭的发动机也是越堆越多,最大的Falcon 9 Heavy用了27台
最近Tesla的超级充电站的整流器内部曝光了,也是12个Model S电动车上用的整流器堆一起
整流器是把变压器出来交流电的整成直流电给电池充电,一个10KW,12个正好120KW,现在有的已经是135KW了,那就是单纯软件升级增大电流了。真够笨重的。难道搞个120KW的大整流器比12个10KW的还要贵?不应该啊,不过特斯拉肯定算过了,大批量成本可能还是合算。另外一两个小的整流器出了问题也不影响使用,车上的7000节电池和27台火箭发动机也是同样的道理。这算是特斯拉的独特之处吧。
具有最大的容错性。也许每一块不是最优,但总体的奇妙在于具有生物体的可延展,可进化性能
it seems an emerging trend,
1.
manufacturing
TSLA battery, SCTY's "PV" (solar panel stuff) mega factory to be built in new York, basically a software/robot operating and 仿"semi conductor" , "有機"生产大工廠 type manufacturing
2.
based on same principle, Hawkins is going to do a paradigm change with regard to ALGO and computing, both software and hardware.
"大脑皮质(cortex) algo" based computing.
Hawkins: 大腦=a super network

3.
Like TSLA, Hawkins wants to have an open source community to suck in everybody into their "revolution": they want to take over the entire world.
4.
"失控"
I did not read KK that piece, but "有機"生产 as described in the above is going to be very disruptive, putting a lot of low level "brain skill" human beings out of work, massively, or transitioning them into service sectors, where wage structure may be challenging to those stopped learning adults.
5.
if :"有機"manufacturing, "有機"生产, :"有機" computing really fly and scale, US economy may have a new chapter unfolding, pushing productivity into a new level, possibly.
