When you live in the Kootenays, having an EV truck like the Rivian R1T is about balancing rugged capability with electric efficiency. But once the snow flies, we have to tackle the inevitable question: Where is the best place to put the ski box? Is it better for range to mount the box low, over...
Tales of Design & User Experience (ToDUX) #16 ⁂ Dear readers & friends, Studies have shown over and over that even professional researchers (including statisticians!) can’t correctly interpret a confidence interval or a p-value most of the time. Then, how could you expect the...

This post discusses a series of efficiency tests conducted on a Rivian R1T electric truck, focusing on the changes in energy consumption when hauling bikes and a ski box. Utilizing a consistent testing method, the author reveals that, compared to a Tesla, the R1T exhibits less impacted efficiency...
I spent a fair amount of time deliberating over many questions on the way to buying a Rivian R1T. Below, I have pulled a few snippets together of the thought process for us that unfolded over the last 4-5 years. First off, why an EV truck at all? In the “before EV times” for our… Read More »Why an...
After happily being all-electric for almost four years, we sold our Leaf and, until early September ’23, have been driving a gas truck for the last 18 months! What possessed us to do such a thing? After all, we sold a perfectly functional Subaru Forester (when we bought the Tesla Model 3 in 2018)...
A few years ago, I reported on my experience installing the Tesla roof rack on my Model 3 (apparently the bolts are a bit longer now and easier to install), and shortly afterwards I tested the impact on consumption/efficiency (i.e. how much did the Wh/km change?) A few months after that last...
Summary Many data scientist are trained or experienced in using tools to do statistical modelling, forecasting or machine learning solutions, this doesn't necessarily mean that they should just jump out and do an ad-hoc analysis on the available public data on the covid19 outbreak and draw policy...
Kindly reposted to KDnuggets by Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro Preamble The core application of machine learning models is a binary classification task. This appears in polyhedra of areas from medicine for diagnostic tests to credit risk decision making for consumers. Techniques in building...
Last week we received and installed the new Tesla Model 3 Roof Rack on our car – go check out the install if you are curious. One of the comments I have been receiving and seeing online in the forums is “how does the roof rack affect your efficiency?” I decided to do a controlled… Read More...
Preamble Ebbinghaus (WikipediaMachine Learning (ML) is now a de-facto skill for every quantitative job and almost every industry embraced it, even though fundamentals of the field is not new at all. However, what does it mean to teach to a machine? Unfortunately, for even moderate technical people...
