It's also ~$19k more than anyone should spend on a Nissan Versa.

No, not really. Massively fewer rain storms usually isn't good news in the long run. You kind of need rains to keep things from being too dry. I don't know about your body chemistry but water is pretty critical in mine. I'd l

I'm paying $15/mo. To pay $50/mo for in the end the same thing (I'm going to use the same amount of data regardless) just means I'm spending $420 a year more for the same outcome. How is it a better deal to spend mo

I fully agree with that. It's an extremely selfish crime in many ways and I agree there should be harsh penalties for the crime. But at the same time it's also kind of a failure of society that we've designed most places to l

> I knew that CVT on mine would be reliable It's a CVT on a car. It's unreliable. That's it's nature. I wouldn't have bought it straight from the factory given how much of a piece of junk they are.

Ok, you go tell that to the two shops within a reasonable distance to me. Last time I tried telling them that they didn't budge. I'm well aware they're charging a lot for it. They do it because that's what people around

This is the way to understand it. Also, sometimes discounts "in network", but that can be pretty mixed in usefulness. Sure, you can use HSA/FSA money on these things, but better to go through "insurance" and keep&#x

And then we start throwing people in prison because they were too poor to legally go get groceries or go to work. Car-dependent city design a travesty, grossly hurting the poor. You shouldn't need to pay insurance and operate an expens

If you're not changing your own tires a lot of cycle shops charge a good bit for labor to mount tires. Seems like most shops around me want $200+ in labor to do tires. That got me to just start doing it at home. Although it's a pa

That link shows results in your area. In my area it does show 1 2025 Nissan Versa allegedly for sale at about $19k.

You're so concerned about the odds of a used battery going bad and yet bought a used car with a CVT. Interesting life choices. I'd never buy a car with a traditional CVT. Used or new. They're so incredibly unreliable ov

Yeah, "grouping" is largely the way to go for the generic parts, and keeping parts together when they really do need to go together is another. I used to just have a generic big tub with all the generic cables and wires. Some were

Looking back at the comment I probably come across as overly hash, sorry. FWIW, one of the biggest negatives to HFOs is that while they rapidly break down in the atmosphere they end up producing trifluoroacetic acid. This stuff then rains b

CFC is a fluorinated gas. Its in the name. Chloro fluro carbon. So you're saying "Fluorinated gases replaced [fluorinated gasses]". CO2 is not a terrific refrigerant. It requires comparably very high pressures to be effec

The point is, with your example the link speed of the iPhone isn't the limiting thing of your example. You'll likely be limited by the speed of your storage before you saturate that link.

I thought from what I read about the Taalas approach, the model architecture and overall size couldn't be changed, but model weight values could be updated after for further tuning. Not as flexible as Cerebras though. And I'd love
