Comment M5 Ultra with 1TB of RAM Incoming (Score 4, Interesting) 50

I don't think this necessarily has to do with the RAM shortage as much as making way for the M5 Ultra with 1TB of RAM. The persistent rumor is that Apple is doubling the top RAM option with the M5 Ultra. Personally if they do and the price is in line with the RAM on the M3 Ultra I'll probably upgrade from my current machine. The RAM combined with faster prompt processing and overall faster inference will make a monster machine.

They are eligible for termination, but they're not terminated because it's not just them, it's the entire work force. You would have to stand up an entire collection of scabs to replace the entire striking unionized work force.

If I ran a bus company I would know that my choices are work with a large number of employees who know the job, or replace them with a large number of brand new employees who don't know the job. Both have costs. But you know what those bus drivers have that I wouldn't? The good-will of the people. The strike was ongoing, but it didn't cause those who needed the busses to be stranded. That is a lot of good will built up there.

Starbucks would need to weigh if firing everyone at that location that is unionizing and bringing in scabs is better or worse than the backlash they would get.

The whole point is that workers have more leverage when they unionize. That's the great thing about unions, they protect the worker from abuse. If Starbucks was treating the employees right, they wouldn't need to unionize.

As soon as I saw your sig I was like quite a flashback.

I don't really think we're through all of the low hanging fruit. There are a lot of single family home dwellers who have yet to buy EVs. Just drive around a residential suburban neighborhood and you'll still se a LOT of CV cars in the driveways and garages (with the doors open).

I'm a city dweller who doesn't have access to a home based charger. Fortunately I do have access to about 8 level 2 chargers (30A 220V) a little over a block from my house. We have two Teslas and typically charge 1 to 2 times a week for our pattern of usage. It's not the best but it definitely works. We do need more city charging options and more curbside charging to complete the transition to be sure, but there are places that are making it happen, and in those places owning an EV without a charger is a definite option.

When it comes to long distance driving the reality is most US residents don't drive large distances on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. So, for most US residents an EV with a 200 to 300 mile range is completely practical. (For those who drive long distances on a daily or weekly basis I do agree an EV isn't the solution now.)

Comment Just Completed Full Household Electrification (Score 1) 522

EVs are definitely going to win. It's not really a new thing either. The first EVs were made in the early 1800's. They just weren't practical, and the combustion engine took off and eclipsed them. The big innovation that helped the CV win was the electric starter of all things. Anyway, yesterday we finished the complete electrification for our family. It took a little over three years including a complete gut remodel of our home to take it from plaster on lathe on brick to a modern efficient envelope inside the historic exterior using heat pumps, and induction cook top (best cooking experience ever). Two months ago we sold our last combustion vehicle and got a Tesla Model 3. (So, I guess technically we were completely electrified two months ago.) Yesterday we picked up a new to us Tesla Model S with 320 miles of range. We're never going back. The electrified and modernized house is amazing, the cars are just.... wow. The next project will be solar, but we can not net meter due to the grid we are on. So, that's going to wait until the whole house batteries are a bit cheaper. All of the things are going to be electrified, not just cars.

The pretending part doesn't come into the definition of words.

Wrestling is defined in at least two ways. First would be the way NCAA wrestling is, the second would be the way WWE Wrestling is. Both are wrestling, but since the definition is different for the use of the word both fit the definition of wrestling.

WWE is not pretending to NCAA wrestle. They're WWE wrestling.

They're two different things, and if someone doesn't give enough context clues it's likely confusion can occur.

It's like people who get upset that "literally" is now defined as both literal and metaphorical, it is how language evolves.

If you can't admit that language evolves over time, you are left behind.

No, Football (American) players play football, and Football (Soccer) players play Football.

You renaming it to make it seem like its not two words for the same thing doesn't make you correct.

Wrestlers (NCAA) wrestle.
Wrestlers (Pro WWE) wrestle.

Words can have multiple meanings.

I like a good pedantry here and there but this is just silly. Football (Soccer) players play Football, and Football (American Football) players play Football.

Just because the same word is used for two different things doesn't make it incorrect.

Professional Wrestlers for the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) are wrestling when they go out there, and NCAA Wrestling tournaments are wrestling as well.

Examples from Merriam-Webster about wrestling:

Pro wrestling has always been staged, and the audience knew it but didnâ(TM)t care.
