It's slower than the 4:1 ratio would imply, but it does indeed work.

Things get really slow if the model doesn't for in vram + ram and you have to go from disk to ram to vram.

The Chinese don't have access to new EUV machines.

All of their fabrication ability is based on old processes.

Its west Texas, the natural gas is already nearby.

Have you seen the price of electricity?

That's with only about 5% of cars being electric.

We've consumed nearly all of the slack in transmission capacity.

I'm expecting transmission costs to balloon.

The classic PE strategy is to buy declining buy well known brands, borrow vast sums of money in the brands name, pay the PE firm huge consulting fees, and then bankrupt the acquired business.

Which isn't exactly what they seem to be doing but also isn't that far off.

The false negative rate for HIV testing in newly infected people is actually pretty high, like 50% within the first few months high.

Blood is tested for disease, but the false negative rate for each test is its own risk.

If you got blood from an addict living on the street engaging in prostitution and tested it, would you trust that blood?

I wouldn't.

That might have been true at some point in the past and the judiciary might even feel that way still.

However the practical penalty for filling absurd lawsuits is zero unless you do it repeatedly to random people for a decade.

Absolutely nothing bad will happen to the plaintiff or the lawyers representing them in this case.

Western legal systems are broken.

Can't really compare a natural monopoly (water utility) that should be the government with something that isn't a natural monopoly (research).

Canada allowed millions of temporary foreign workers in.

Unfortunately the border actually needs to be more sealed.

Gemini almost killed you.

The exhaust blower not working triggered a safety that prevented the furnace from firing.

Spinning it bypassed the safety.

You likely inhaled a lot more carbon monoxide than you know.

Canadians generally think that buying and selling their information is illegal so it's not happening, which is why this is news.

They're right that it's illegal but definitely wrong about it not happening.

The damage to privacy from this is likely much less then the average person realizes.

(an American living in Canada's perspective)

The issue is that battery packs tend to fail abruptly, one cell in one module goes bad completely.

So the worn out packs almost all have bad cells as well.

Its expensive to repair them because of how much dangerous manual labor is involved.
