Part of the problem is that trains are really, really heavy. A double-decker passenger train car might weigh 180,000 pounds and carry only 100 people, for a total weight of 1,800 pounds per car plus the person. So you're carrying half the weight of that Prius. The trains are still vastly more efficient because you have one powertrain accelerating all of those people in Priuses (Prii?) instead of hundreds, they accelerate and decelerate slowly (and rarely), they have low rolling resistance, etc.

Imagine how much more efficient they would be if train cars were improved with modern technology to bring the weight down.

Wow. Their refrigerators reportedly have among the worst reliability stats out of all the major brands, but ads are the reason you're rejecting them? I'm kind of assuming the ads are to recover the unexpectedly high cost of warranty repairs and food loss claims. :-)

Having used a lot of their Blu-Ray players and TVs over the years, Samsung reached peak ensh*ttification a long time ago, IMO. What remains is the long-tail death spiral.

"TSMC and Samsumg have fabs in the USoA"

How long before the tangerine terror fucks that up?

There's no reason to kill ARC because it's only taking sales Nvidia didn't want.

It also depended on low speed interfaces to processors. You used to be able to accelerate computers which came with a 68k chip by slapping a daughterboard with a faster CPU on it into the CPU socket. That's not practical today.

Side note, anyone want a radius accelerator for Mac SE?

"Biden's effort to reduce student loan debt has ended."

Too bad he didn't fight as hard for that as he did to prevent us from discharging such debts through bankruptcy, that fake fuck.

"Sounds like you are salty because you aren't getting the score you want."

I'm salty because a bunch of clowns who provably don't know how credit scores work are trying to tell me how credit scores work while I have proof that they don't.

"Simply paying off 1-2 credit cards in full every month while keeping your utilization low for ~5 years will get you into the high 700s, which is all you need for any practical purpose."

I did literally all of that and I'm in the low 700s where I don't qualify for first time home buyers assistance, so no and no. Your faith in the system working as advertised is just sad.

Depends on whether the test pilots were in them at the time. ;-)

No, they're a lie.

The infographic is propaganda, and answers zero questions about how the factors which make up each group are actually calculated.

I have been watching Experian. There hasn't been anything unrelated to me appearing on my credit report, but my score has gone down as I have behaved faithfully and paid off my debts on schedule. Anyone who believes what FICO claims about scoring is a fool, and anyone who then goes on to repeat their propaganda for them is also a tool — and not the sharpest one in the shed.

This is very true, and perhaps continuing to close the gap is their strategy for defeating CUDA, since they sure aren't putting enough effort in to do it with ROCm. I'd love to see it, I just don't expect it to work. Happy to be proven wrong, though.

My score was 790 a year ago. I faithfully have made my student loan payments, paid off a dental loan, and increased my available credit, and my score is now about 720. Credit scores are a scam and basing anything but applications for credit on them should be a felony.

That's true, but you also can't run old Windows on new hardware, and getting graphics performance out of Windows running in a VM is only even vaguely possible with vmware. Virtualbox's video drivers for Windows are shit, and QEMU/KVM's are even worse. Hyper-V's aren't great either. So you have to keep an old machine around for old windows if you want to run old windows games on windows.

AMD has been outselling Intel in the DC for what, a year now or more?

I don't think you know what "ensuring" means

You don't need lies to turn children away from religion. History and facts will do.
