I grew up as a car enthusiast during the transition to things being computer controlled, and for car modifying purposes it was fantastic. Relatively simple to plug my laptop in, monitor air fuel ratios, make adjustments as I see fit. Didn&

Many of us believe that Internet or not will have basically no impact on this question of turning Russians against Putin. I have lived through the entire life of the Internet and seen only the exact opposite things happened that we all expe

The logical conclusion of this argument is that no negative action can be taken against a state, as said negative action might later be taken wrongly in the future. Thus we have to just let Russia invade Ukraine and kill everyone there.

It is a video memory problem. Unified memory is nice but you need GDDR6 to feed a powerful GPU. But you don't want GDDR6 for the cpu.

by gameswithgo 5y ago
GPU claims at carefully chosen tasks that don't need GDDR6 to get top performance. It wouldn't game like a 3090 for instance, but then not many people are gaming on macs anyway.

that the arm backend is faster to compile for is a legit advantage for the developer though, even if its distinct from cpu perf

unless it has its own gddr6 it won’t be anything like a 3090 for games

You lose some but it is manageable, there are already private projects to do things like this, including undersea cables!

by gameswithgo 5y ago
When going for serious global scale stuff you put the panels in sunny places and run gigantic cables to the places it isn't sunny. Again, possible to do but massive scale infrastructure projects that take time, money, and political wi

And hydrogen comes with it's own challenges, as a large % of energy is lost in the conversion to and from. This multiplies how much solar you need appreciably. There is no easy solution here, many hard ones. We can do it but need to be

Because people correctly point out that if you had literally 100% solar (or near it) the amount of battery you would need is of completely impractical scale in even the medium term future. More reasonable approaches would include many mass

by gameswithgo 5y ago
Hydrogen is one of many available solutions. Don’t make the mistake of getting too focused on one thing. Anyway the USA will have have such a percentage of solar any time soon that we need the more radical solutions imminently, though now

Life is like poker, not chess. You can make the best choices and often you will still lose.

You still get the markup, Tesla just does it directly.

We can do plenty about it, kill the evil people, quit being a fucking pawn.

They make think so, but often it seems not really so. Many of these people end up "rich and powerful" but also hiding in a bunker their whole lives, or not able to trust anyone. They could have a better life by being "good&q

They are not so common, but it is one of our top two political issues. People will vote based on these issues even if all other issues run counter to their beliefs. abortion and gun rights.

yep, I grew up with the birth of the Internet and total free speech ideology but agree with you now.

After seeing what about half of America was able to believe for over six years I have no confidence that people will realize things don’t make sense

fine with me

by gameswithgo 5y ago
That line of reasoning gets a little weird, your car already has computers required for it to function, so you are already trusting computers not to crash to not kill you. The software stack in this case is at least two orders of magnitude

Man, you people who when babies are being exploded and apartment buildings attacked with missiles, an entire nation being invaded, who ask these questions about inconveniencing citizens of the attacking nation, are you even real? The next t

That is a fun bet, I consider myself WAY more pessimistic about self driving than most people interested in the topic, but 2030 doesn't seem totally implausible to me. I would not be surprised if either person won.

An EV would also get you to work each morning without fail, unless you are 200 miles from work. It doesn't even need to start up.

I would love one as well, but at 43 years of age I have seen so many weird, eco car ideas come, and none of them take off. Then Tesla came along and offered a big, powerful EV and everyone went wild. There is a lesson there.
