While I agree entirely I just wanna correct you for a bit: The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR)refers to the maximum weight a vehicle is designed to carry including the net weight of the vehicle with accessories, plus the weight of passengers, f

This was the first time that the prediction of the water level was above 300cm and made the computer to close it automatically. It closed once before due to water level in 2007 but that was because the threshold was lowered to 260cm during

Well I think one can start with a bit of an average car. I mean humans vary a lot too. Both in size and resilience. If there’d be some wireframe made that can represent a bit of the car rigidity of an average 2008 car for example we can def

From engineering explained the difference in the rollout for some fast cars is about 0.2-0.3 seconds on top of the actual number. Here’s the video https://youtu.be/9LTq45o0ttQ

Makes me wonder in how far you can actually. Wouldn’t the smell molecules also more or less stay roughly in the same space without convection and gravity playing their part?

Im quite bothered by the “standard” one foot roll-out that car manufacturers advertise these day with their 0-60 times. It’s not 0-60 with it when there’s one foot roll out so it just feels unrealistic. And besides the difference in time me

What camera do you use? This one is so nicely zoomed https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/132443637 Almost looks like an image from an electron microscope the way the grass stands up.

Just take the leap with a new one that gives you good vibes. Skipping one side entirely is also a recipe for worse things to come. So, the longer you wait the worse it'll probably get.

Don't forget most of us are using Leibniz' notation for calculus, though. They invented calculus around the same time.

For all the times that I’ve seen woodpeckers at work. I only see them banging as hard as they could during mating season, as to make as much sound as possible to signal vitality. All other times I’ve seen them at work they’re calmly chippin

To me it seems as a rather obvious playful creation that anyone can conjure, and I’d rather attribute it to convergent evolution. Much like calculus by Newton and Leibniz.

I’m not suggesting an alternative material. I’m suggesting a more sane way of replacing the backside. For the iPhone 13 Pro it’s so expensive and hard to do they even just hand you a new phone rather than fixing it.

Oh come on. The backside is made of glass and costs an astonishing 570euros to replace. That’s not striving to do right.

Here in the Netherlands it’s most often cheaper to go by car. In addition the trains are horrible unreliable and stacked with people so odds of getting a seat are very small. I’m not sure how we got here.

I am very skeptic of this theory as a lot winners of lottery’s end up in enormous debt after few years due to horrible mismanagement of their funds. Why take this odd route and not just directly implement UBI if that is the goal?

Just to add some ballparks: I have a yolov5 model that I run in PyTorch on a 3080 and the inference time is roughly 20ms. And inference with a 200estimator random forest is a few ms on a cpu. I can imagine that in some scenarios it’s not
