Generally you see this in the lower class chips that aren’t overclocked to within an inch of instability. It’s not uncommon to see a chip that uses 200w to perform 10% worse at 100w, or 20% worse at 70w. I can’t be bothered to chase down an

As I understand it, the actual processing part of most chips nowadays is fairly bespoke, with a decoder sitting on top. I doubt decode can make up that large a portion of a chips power consumption (probably negligible next to the rest of th

You don't think school has any value? There's a reason we have higher education - Work-based learning is somewhat prone to leaving significant gaps in a person's knowledge. Not to say working has no value, but neither does sc

Because it shouldn't be a problem - but everyone wants to live in the best cities for cheap. What goes unsaid most of the time is that we should only be accommodating those who already live in said city (or, more hypocritically, the pe

If updates are assuming they don’t have to support whatever those peculiarities are, won’t the support burden be massive? As opposed to starting in a supported state and enforcing a policy of not breaking existing support (until it’s so dis

I’m not sure why I’d care. An extra 100w amounts to a couple cents an hour for most people. Not relevant most of the time, and will shave time off almost any CPU task (as this is increasing the single-threaded speed, which applies to almost

What is the point of 4K tabs though? If everything is open, nothing might as well be open because it serves no utility in tracking what you’re working on, right? I often get into the 30-50 tab range, and the majority of those are unused and

Fair enough - I looked at terms 7F (retail clients) - There was more context when I read about it a couple of years ago, or perhaps I'm simply misremembering (and I'm hardly a lawyer..)

At least in Australia, IBKR used to have a fairly limited margin product that actually precluded you from being exposed to a possibly negative balance - I've probably overgeneralised that case (or thought it was more common than it is)

There's definitely margin products that will guarantee you aren't liable for the debt (but correspondingly will margin call you and limit the debt/equity ratio), and there are margin products that are the opposite (no margin

That largely depends on the type of leverage used (not all individual margin loans have the same conditions). It's possible to get pretty good terms as an individual in some circumstances (mostly if the loans are smaller and personally

"Risk" as markets consider it is more about volatility. The higher the volatility, the more likely you are to make (or lose) money. People being as they are, volatility is usually perceived negatively and it causes people to be le

Night is generally just longer too, so you're taking on more risk regardless of liquidity as well (more time holding the stock, more time for good/bad news, on average you get rewarded for that risk)

Currently, AFAIK starlink is still Point-to-point, bouncing once to a satellite and back down to fixed ground stations. They intend to add inter-satellite links, but I'm not sure that's the case yet.

In practice do we need more reserved/unallocated bands? The problem with unlicensed bands is interference and the like - they can't be used together without stomping eachother (eg. in FPV RC, analog and digital transmitters have d

What's wrong with using Median? More than 50% of the population makes less than that.

So long as tether is well-enough capitalised to meet redemptions everything will be fine. Right up until they run out real dollars... In theory, slightly depegged tether is actually to their advantage, assuming they have enough capital.

You said the company should be disbanded - perhaps I took that to mean something different to what you meant.

Is it a big risk? In theory the upside is large (large settlement from company) and the downside small (wasted time on a lost lawsuit). I'm not sure the risk of losing the lawsuit is significant here.

And what about all the goods J&J produces? Research? This is a ludicrous proposal for a profitable and productive company. It's obviously bad for society as a whole.

It’s on the order of a few years for solar and wind, if I recall. It sounds hilariously optimistic to me that ROEI for nuclear would be days/weeks. The amount of infrastructure required to support a nuclear plant is huge. Regardless, s

How so? It costs more per kwh than renewables. If you are going to store electricity, it may as well be from renewables (which also benefit the most from storing power in a practical sense)

Disagree - the biggest nominal advantage of hydrogen is mass storage. In theory, tanks scale up in capacity more easily than battery cells (perhaps to the point of seasonal storage). In almost every other respect hydrogen would be worse tha

Hopefully we can buck that - things have been going swimmingly for the better part of a year despite said recession expectations. At this point I feel like we may well get the best of all worlds - inflation dealt with, roaring economy, rece

And every step further removed the customer gets the less incentive there is to actually reduce consumption, particularly at the most expensive times of day. Subsidising that period when it’s only going to get monumentally more expensive to
