The best part of all of the number spoofing is now I get real calls from real people who are "calling back" the spam call they received from my number. So I'm getting double-hit by the fact that somehow you're just allow

In the Top Gear interview they confirmed the truck can do 350kW charging on a V4 charger, 15-85% in 18-20 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uefydJUbRhc @ 34min

Presumably it can charge either at 400V or 800V depending on the charger it's plugged into. But I think you're right, Ultium is still a 400V drive architecture versus this being an 800V drive architecture.

Cybertruck does the pack splitting thing like the GM Ultium vehicles: https://twitter.com/baglino/status/1730391023799386480 It will be interesting to see Tesla's rollout of 800V stations, so far they don&#x2

The specs mention a “range extender” option but there don’t seem to be any details on what that actually is.

I have many devices, and many passwords. Using a cloud sync password manager allows me to follow best practices in having complex, unique passwords for each account. Data breaches and password leaks at random websites are a much more common

I thought a big benefit of Android was that you don't have to distribute your apps through the one official App Store.

It probably isn’t worth charging the trailer from the truck. The truck would be capable of towing with an empty trailer battery anyway. Burning extra diesel to charge the battery is usually going to be less efficient than just using that di

I'm assuming there are a lot more trailers than trucks in operation, so this seems less efficient than hybridizing the trucks themselves. Also depending on the type of operation, the trailer owner may not care about how much diesel the

Part of the issue here is Apple doesn't support the "old school" model of paid apps with discounted upgrade pricing for existing owners. They basically point developers at subscriptions to replace this model.

Right. I really should have said employees and investors. Even if OpenAI somehow had no regard for its investors, they still need their employees to accomplish their mission. And funding to pay those employees. The board seemed to have the

For one, despite the headlines to the contrary EV sales have been growing. It's just that EV inventory has been growing as well as production scales up. We have flipped from COVID scarcity to a world where dealers and automakers need t

Sure, there is a difference there. But the actions that erode confidence are the same. You could tell the same story about a rising sports team replacing their star coach, or a military sacking a general the day after he marched through the

Imagine if the board of Apple fired Tim Cook with no warning right after he went on stage and announced their new developer platform updates for the year alongside record growth and sales, refused to elaborate as to the reasons or provide a

Yep. This is basically like saying "don't distributed compiled binaries" I'm sure some people here will agree with that sentiment, but for the majority of users it's the better option. And if the goal of the project

Depends on the city and airport. Atlanta for example is a huge busy airport but also serves a lot of regional connections. I have flow in on a 757 and transferred to a much smaller regional jet to hop to a smaller city or town.

I think the benefit of going to Microsoft is they have that perpetual license to OpenAI's existing IP. And Microsoft is willing to fund the compute.

The FTS taking too long to destroy the rocket was one of the issues with the first flight and the subject of an FAA review and mitigations for this flight. Safety is always more important than getting your rocket to orbit.

Good thing that libraries also provide digital information services, including digital book rentals and digital records and academic publication searches. As well as facilities to access those services if you do not have an adequate compute

A quick google says the proposed city library budget was $471.5 million and the total city budget is $107 billion. That's less than half a percent of the overall budget.

If I released a game on PC that required a peripheral, like a racing wheel, does that make it not a PC game?

Oh I would definitely prefer it. I think a lot of people would. So many Americans haven't lived that life though that it can be hard to imagine.

Artemis is less expensive than Apollo, at least so far. There is definitely a fighting over handouts component, but this mostly seems to be at the Congressional level where they legislate how the rocket will be built and what kind of booste

I played it fine on my PC. But I have a VR headset for my PC. I'm not sure that makes it not a PC game. In the 90s you might have needed to buy a graphics card or sound card to play a game, but it was still a PC game.

Lots of money, only landing two people in a foil can with very little additional payload capacity, and not staying very long. Apollo cost something like $300 billion in 2023 dollars. NASA's contract for the Starship landing is $2.9b. S

Of course. If in the big picture we want fewer people to need to take a car for each trip, it would be a good idea to have towns and cities where grocery stores and houses are closer together. And of course not everyone wants to live in suc

True. But I just set that up once and then control them through HomeKit ever since. They've always required an account if you want to use their app to control your lights while not at home.
