You're lucky it was under warranty (I'm assuming it's an extended warranty). Most manufacturers are only covering those items for 36 months. Imagine if the warranty was a federal minimum 300k miles/20 years. I bet they

There's a multitude or purposes. Improved power being one, improved reliability being another. Modern diesel emissions equipment fails regularly, often in hard to diagnose and repair ways. If you spent $100k on a truck, and you could

They have raised the social security income tax limit dramatically over the last 5 years.

The underlying model might be as good, but how you interface with it seems to deliver wildly different results. I can easily get chat-gpt to give me entire blocks of code. Copilot just trickles out small bits. Copilot is also very distra

Copilot is useless compared to chat-gpt4. There's really no comparison. As far as the costs, it seems like transmitting things repeatedly would be more expensive than the chat model where you just transmit things when you want them.

I'm aware of how the acquisition took place. And 80% of shares would have been mostly institutional investors. I think we all know that Jim and the board were actively soliciting buy outs. What individual do you think pocketed the m

Thanks for linking that. It entirely disproves the 'unprecedented' warming narrative. Figure 5 indicates there's a 10-15 degree rise in temperature in around 200 years 45k years ago. In any case, the data is not granular eno

The geological record can't state that the pace of warming we're seeing hasn't happened before. And our real-time measured data prior to digital electronics is laughably imprecise.

You definitely should not send your kids to public school; that's crazy. Anyway, as for the rest, you can pay mortgage by check in the US. No software required. You can also file your taxes by paper. As far as connecting to the intern

The solution is simple: don't pay for SaaS products. And that's if you consider it a problem. When email was created, you didn't care what the remote mail server's software was, as long as it conformed to the protocol,

First, they still haven't released all the trial data. Second, the data the FDA released on their own website for the Pfizer trials proved they didn't even test all of the participants in the trial for COVID, nor did they test al

We know now that the CDC and the manufacturers (and the media) lied about efficacy regarding preventing transmission/infection. In fact, the trials didn't even attempt to measure transmission or infection, and were not ever autho

Running out of ammo and instant payment sounds a lot like an arcade, which is how video games became commercially successful in the first place.

There are plenty of free to play games supported by ads that are fun to play. It's also a great funnel for converting a non-paying user into a paying user to disable the ads.

I just watched a youtube video of a brand new F150 that needed tail light replacements. Due to all the electronics (lidar IIRC), replacing both was around $5600. And, it prevented the truck from even starting. Just for tail lights. That

I had a feeling some detail like this was missing from previous reports (most of which I did not read entirely). This is the right move. It represents an opportunity to dethrone google in the ad display market, at least for gaming.

NVDA forward PE is 42.48, which isn't super crazy relative to other big tech companies (MSFT over 30). I suspect ARM's forward PE is double that ratio (>80). If NVDA's forward projections are correct, and they can maintai

Per install is likely due to the fact that games can be monetized in different ways (subscription, dlc, loot boxes, etc). They address the install/uninstall bits in the article. It says they're planning on counting one device as

Seems pretty minimal. And if you're making over $100k, you should probably upgrade to the paid version.

It sounds like you had a judgement against you. Judgements don't go away, and are enforceable. You probably could have had the judgement vacated.

Do attorneys have managers? No, they have senior partners, that are also attorneys. They have clerks to handle the mundane stuff. The wrong model is being applied to software. Managers are redundant.

I hated writing as a kid. I think part of the problem was that my thoughts were much faster than my pen, so I by default wrote as fast as I could. If I tried to write more legibly, my writing would still look poor compared to many others

Sure, there's a handful of crazies out on the road, but the majority of speeders are due to economic incentives. It's called 'rush hour' for a reason.

If you want people to obey the speed limit, pay them more money. You don't need to speed to work or home if you live within a reasonable commuting distance of your office. You don't need to speed to go to some recreation activit

Well, the labor force has finally decided they're not going to do hard work for starvation wages. The guys running the companies have increased prices, but haven't sent that money down to the labor force. I have a friend that&#x
