Cost is a reason. You need to dig out that dirt (which is expensive), it needs supports, your house needs support around it/through it…

Making things bulletproof and massive runs opposite of cheap

Practically speaking any person cannot maintain that for significant length of time. Dieting has like a 99% fail rate by year 2. It’s hard to maintain that for many people — your body will keep you in starvation mode, keep you hungry and hang on to every calorie received.

Well everyone would. How many would you buy if you could turn around and sell them for $30k easily lol?

It’s like saying “well if Subaru launches a nice hybrid suv for $1k it’ll sell like pancakes” and yeah.. but it costs more in steel/ram to build that lol

Why can’t Apple launch a $50k product for $1k? Everyone would buy it!

I have a g9 and cooling is fine, but not great. I ended up opening it up and placing heatsinks on hot chips

I mean fast 128gb of ram is like $2k so it’ll be $3k after overhead for just the ram portion of device.

> and having extremely predictable payments for years

I’d argue rental is more predictable. Housing has a huge amount of upkeep — $10k ac, $5k water heater, $20k roof…

I’ll need to check my notes on power consumption. I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying out different modes and configurations… it’s not great. I would not expect years at all. You gotta be very careful about what has to stay on and off.

Furthermore, bugs. To this time there’s random crashes that happen with sleep which limits their use

The value of electricity is extremely time dependent. You can easily overproduce solar power for your house during the day fairly cheaply. However batteries + gas generators for cloudy day quickly make the cost significantly higher.

The grid gives you expensive guarantees about reliability. Just giving power does not do that.

Citation needed.

Edit: it’s absolutely not true universally and it’s ridiculous to suggest it is. Comparing averages will be very tricky as well.

> cheap buck from 40~80V to e.g. 5V.

That’s not a cheap buck lol. Order of magnitude more expensive then 12v not even mentioning capacitors that can withstand 80v is $$$ and your derating goes to shit

I thought x64 was better for perf per watt just because perf is so much better

I’d go a step further and say get a mini pc unless you need gpio

I keep making the same mistake. How do you make intermediary planes?

Isn’t that less efficient in power and can have different color?

It’s because building 500 units would be a non starter for many of them

>If the goal is consistency, then wall-clock isn't the simple way to do it.

It’s simpler than doing a limit on number of states, and for some applications consistency isn’t super important.

Doing a time limit also enforces bot moving in a reasonable time. It puts a nice limit to set up a compromise between speed and difficulty.

Doing state limit with a time limit might be better way to do it, but is harder.
