It won't free space, but It removes the icons, it won't run in the background, etc.

Cold-start takes forever, but once running, nuclear plants can load follow, adjusting output by several percent per minute. Generally they don't only for economic reasons: it makes more sense to throttle back everything else instead. However, if you run out of other things to shut down, nuke plants can load-follow just fine. France does this all the time.

Batteries are still useful in a bunch of ways, but you don't need nearly as many for a mostly-nuke grid as an mostly-renewables grid.

They do not. If the grid can't accept the power, they just open the bypass valves and waste the extra heat while the reactor throttles down.

Not to mention that Ontario's plan is project to cost $20B / GW before the inevitable cost overruns.

Some years back, I was working for a large software company. One of their clients sued them, I don't remember the exact amount but I recall it being at least in the tens of millions. When it finally went to court, the customer's attorney's said that they''d put my company's C-level execs on the stand and have them read their profanity laced emails. Quotes like, "We need to drive f....g stake through [their] heart", etc.My company settled immediately.

A few months later, at an executive off-site, they brought in an attorney that lectured about 100 of us, basically that anything you put in email is subject to discovery. Don't write anything you wouldn't say in fron of your mother, or wouldn't want to see on the front page of the Wall St. Journal.

Indian firms failed because they were further from the customer than incumbents.

AI will succeed because it's closer to the customer than incumbents.

Joe in accounting has a spreadsheet that the whole company depends on. He can tell the AI what the company needs, and more critically can iterate very quickly to tweak it so it is exactly what they need; no more, no less.

The incumbents have an advantage over the Indians because they have better access to Joe, but it's only imperfect one way information flow. The key problem is that it's difficult for Joe to articulate exactly what he needs. He'll tell you what he thinks he wants, but it's imperfect communication. If you do agile/sprint, he gets to see how what he communicated ends up, and gets to adjust accordingly every 2 weeks. With AI he can do that in 5 minutes.

In Denmark it's easy to fire people. "Flexicurity" means that it's easy to fire somebody in Denmark but generous employment insurance and retraining programs means it's a much lower burden on employees if they are fired.

> The OEMs should fill that area with either more battery or... empty volume.

That would make the thickness of your phone + case even thicker. Right now the width of your phone + case is the minimum width of your phone + the width of the case. If you increase the minimum width, you increase the total thickness.

And now you'd have an annoying camera hole. Stuff would get stuck in the hole and scratch your lens.

2016 Tesla P100DL - replaced the brake pads (not rotors, just pads) at 160,000 miles, not because they were on the rivets, but because they were about 8 years old at that point, and I figured they're probably not designed to last that long - also changing them before they started to score the rotors saved changing the rotors.

Regenerative braking goes all the way down to zero MPH - the brakes just don't get used very much.

This is a stupidly quick (0-60MPH in under 3 seconds, can pull almost a G of acceleration) and ridiculously heavy EV. I get over 40,000 miles on a set of tires, which is good but not great - I suspect that will improve as tire compounds are reformulated for EVs. Newer EVs are lighter, have more range, and doubtless better on tires.

The AWD, traction control, regeneration, and ABS on the vehicle means that it's basically impossible to spin tires accelerating or skid when braking, which I'm sure helps with tire life.

I routinely go on lengthy trips around the eastern USA - never give a single thought to range. Vehicle charges in the driveway, I schedule my road trip charging for mealtimes, and select hotels that have an EV charger so the car's full in the morning.

The real estate agent is happy to have a busy open house. Everyone else suffers from wasted time, inefficient markets, and occasionally being suckered into a bad deal.

Okay, sure, it'll draft some text in minutes. You then have to review it in detail to see if it's actually what you intended, which takes at least an order of magnitude longer. You then have to validate if the idea you came up with in seconds or minutes is actually a good idea. Have you thought about second order effects? Have you considered alternatives? Have other people reviewed the ideas? Are you going to get buy-in from everyone else involved?

If you're not doing those things, then you're just generating low-quality slop which wastes other people's time, or worse, gets rubber stamped and creates a real mess. Just slopping out more regulations faster is not a good goal.

If you DO do those things, then the LLM has helped you shave some time off of a small portion of a much larger process. It's a useful tool for that, but let's be realistic about what the actual gains are.

You deleted the punctuation but to do it right you need to let all the ideas flow together in a run on stream of consciousness so there is no way to split the ideas apart even when reading it three times as you try to make sense of a meandering paragraph long sentence which is grammatically valid aside from some missing commas to give you a clue where the individual chunks of information are in the unorganized soup of thoughts which might even have a rational point and a period at the end.

"These people" are just anyone on a bad day. People make random mistakes when they do anything enough times.

I've had it happen. I was sitting weird and my foot just missed. You do these motions millions of times without thinking about it, so in that one-in-a-million case where something doesn't line up right, you get a very disorienting "why won't it slow down" feeling, and it's easy to panic. Your muscle memory instinctively pushes the "brake" harder to compensate, but it's actually the accelerator. It takes a moment for your brain to diagnose the situation and correct.

No harm done in my case: average car, open road, healthy and alert so I figured it out within a second. If I was in a Tesla Plaid, in a congested area, tired and distracted, I would have put it through a store window.

It was an eye-opening experience.

I learned SAS In the early 80s and used it extensively. At the time, it was easily the best data analysis software available. About 15 years ago I wanted to get a few copies for my consulting team and we were looking at more than $50K / seat. Do you think Chinese users want to pay that sort of money to a US firm?

SAS sued a source compatible competitor (World Programming) out of existence some years back, to destroy competition and maintain their high prices. I had trialled the World Programming solution and it worked very nicely.

These days I use Python and a few other open-source tools. I suspect that Chinese data analysts are mostly doing the same.
