Yeah the only use of the large bandwith in Apple Silicon is for the GPU. I'm always amazed by the fanboys who keep hyping this trope. Even when feeding all cores, the max bandwith used by the CPU is less than 200GB/s, in fact it i

I do like the taste of the high-end stuff as well. But the point is precisely to get a buzz while not suffering the bad sides of the cheap stuff. Otherwise there are plenty of very good drinks that have no alcohol, if you want to drink for

Yes, there a selection, it reflected the previous political power sensibilities, now the current power doesn't like them that much, so they are not selected. As far as I'm concerned, if we really wanted to do things right, any boo

My life experience and resulting sentiment is extremely similar to yours. I feel that the education system is deeply flawed and rewards all the wrong things because we refuse to select based on real factors because of political ideology. I

You can't be serious. China does invest in renewables, but that is just on top of their ever-increasing fossil fuel consumption. They are not powering their industries with renewables. If you believe that, I don't know what to tel

While I understand the sentiment, it is important to distinguish between mindless consumption and wanting a better quality of life. Buying all kinds of useless crap (usually items of small value and little utility) should not be conflated w

So-called fluid typography and all the fancy “adaptive” layouts are extremely dumb. Presentation of the content is as important as the content itself. I would argue that it is part of the content. It serves to direct attention and highlight

Yeah, I know they come pre-charged now. But I can't remember what his problem was back then. Maybe he didn't know, or he fucked up… From what I understand, self-install should be fine up to a 12m run, but if you let too much gas l

Yes, I entirely agree. Even without being part of a group, women will support you as long as you are winning or at least appear to be winning. But the moment your position becomes precarious, they'll just leave. There are evolutionary

There is no honor among thieves, and there is even less honor in women who often turn out to be legal thieves. That should be a warning to any man, but of course that's not politically correct to say.

Yes, in the US I think it's fine; you have a lot more freedom. In France, access to the gas technically requires a certification that is not available to regular people. You need to be professional and bow to the bureaucracy. I know so

But that's just a function of their large population size. Even if you wanted to, you cannot bring the majority of your population to a high-skill level. That's not surprising, but still it is debatable whether China is producing

Agreed. For a while, importing stuff “on the cheap” looks like a good deal, but overtime if that makes your own industries weak, you are just losing power. You can't win by just buying stuff from someone else; it appears that people ha

You got downvoted, but I share the sentiment. It seems we coasted on hope for better solutions that never really get there and are largely unaffordable for most people. A heat pump would make a lot more sense if electricity were cheap; alas

by seec 10mo ago
Isn't the problem having access to the gas in the end ? They are tightly regulated, and this is why installers can charge a lot of money, I believe. How did you manage to locate a source?

I know the electricity situation is pretty bad in Germany, but come on, can't they manage to make an equivalent to the French Linky?

There is no way to properly make money from fully open protocols. If you do the hard work of research and development, your competitors can just take the work and sell their implementation minus the R&D costs, undercutting you. It'

Well, the world has become very superficial. People rarely question how they end up with a specific result, which makes cheating/outsourcing quite a good deal and even profitable for many.

Yep, I completely agree. By the same standard, humans would never have started consuming alcohol, and it should be strictly forbidden. But of course we have tried that, and it's not very effective, but for some reason they seem to thin

Yeah, nicotine is a mild stimulant; it's really not a big deal, which is why it is mostly tolerated. The bad interpersonal effects actually come from stopping nicotine, which makes people grumpy, but it doesn't last very long. The

I understand what you are saying, and I largely agree that it's how the medical system controls things in general, but that's true for pretty much any industry. I wouldn't see too much of a conspiracy in people trying to prot

Orthography changes with time in any language. French is the same; there are many weird orthographies that became the norm with various rule changes. Language is a living thing; it is never set in stone. We just have to adapt to it; there i

Agreed. I didn't score too badly (above 50% of native speakers and above 99% of non-native). Many of the words were obscure and extremely contextual. If you are in a particular field with a lot of jargon, you may know countless words,

Disagreed. You need more doctors, not useless secretaries. Generating bureaucratic bullshit doesn't make any work go faster; it actually just creates more work at best and, in general, just slows everything down. It is perfect that the

I have premium French dressing in my fridge. It's 483 kcal/100g. The recommended serving size is 2 tablespoons, but most people actually put in at least 3. That's about 20-30 g of vinaigrette. In other words, it's about

Germany shows how trying to rely solely on renewables is a fool's errand. They can go from having over 50% of their electricity generated from renewables, but then suddenly it falls to barely over 20% in a single day. But the low produ

Thank you for that. I'm always tired of the anti-nuclear zealots that make it look like it's an either/or situation. We can (and should) do both. Even if renewable plus storage ends up being sufficient in some places, it is e

He is eating fish because Intermarché has a fishing business. Yes, I watched it, and I'm not reading into things. This is just the popular ideology at the moment. For now, fish is ok, but for how long?
