Yeah, they had B5 to crib from.

If you're putting it in the title, yes it is.

Dear friend,

We make certain rules so that we can live in the same nation together. For example, we must to a reasonable extent unify our motor vehicle requirements so that you can reasonably travel to other states without onerous additional inspections and harassment. Alas, with rights come responsibilities.

Signed,
Srsly

Anthropic urges everybody else to pause so they can get their code bloat under control.

Engineers who suddenly produce 8x more code are almost certainly not doing it by writing clean, efficient code. That would mean that somehow it takes less than an eighth as long to explain to the AI what you want to do AND review that code. And for non-trivial code, adequate code review alone can take 5 to 10% of the time it would take to write the code from scratch. So that would have to mean that engineers are not spending any time telling AI what to do. That or AI is reducing the amount of time they waste in meetings. (That was a joke! Ha ha! Fat chance!)

And that doesn't even factor in the amount of time spent figuring out whether it's the right way to approach the problem in general, which often exceeds the amount of time spent on the code. So even if you could reduce the time spent working on the code to absolutely zero, including review time, it should not be physically possible to exceed a 2x increase in code generated.

And there aren't 32+ hours in the day, so we can also exclude the possibility that they are working 4x as long.

So from this, we can safely assume that either their code quality is an abomination or their architecture is, and possibly both. If that's not true, then it's nothing short of a miracle.

The link we wanted was actually in that story, which is worthless by comparison

You can see this on every popular forum and social network. And as far as I can tell, the only people they ever try to verify actually exist are the real ones

The grid does care. You're charging for two or three hours, and then not using that power for 21 or 22 hours. That means generating capacity has to be brought online to cover that load. And when everybody does this all at once when they get home from work, it creates a significant increase in generating capacity at a time when solar is unavailable, etc., and because that load is brief, you don't get to use clean base load power, and end up spinning up peaker plants (likely natural gas).

I'm kind of surprised by that. Unless I'm misremembering, Tesla's high-current charger used multiple modules in parallel for efficiency reasons — I think two modules for the standard charger and three for the high-power charger. Their superchargers do the same thing for the same reason. I kind of assumed everybody did it that way.

No, $3k is the off-the-shelf retail cost for a basic 22 kW HVDC charger. Cheap Chinese hardware for 22 kW HVDC from Alibaba starts at only about $1,000.

Also, I think you're massively overestimating the labor costs here. Swapping one 3-phase charger with another in place means turning off a breaker, removing several wire nuts, unbolting the old one from the wall, figuring out how to fasten the new one to the wall, and putting the wire nuts back on. It involves nearly zero actual wiring work. It should cost only slightly more than replacing a bad receptacle ($80 to $200). If installation is over $500, I'd be absolutely shocked.

So for a basic version, probably more like $1,500 installed. Getting one with better firmware that can do load balancing would cost more, but not an order of magnitude more.

Let me be more precise in my wording. Did Congress explicitly authorize spending to pay for the dismantling of monitoring stations? What bill provided that authorization for this initiative that was just announced two days ago, with the House not even in session this week?

Government money is not the President's personal piggy bank. He doesn't have any right to arbitrarily redirect funding from one agency purpose to another, because each of those purposes is a line item in the federal budget, and redirecting funds without congressional approval is potentially misappropriation of public funds, which is a felony.

Interestingly, here in Germany Samsung (and many other Korean companies) are located around Frankfurt/Main, a quite expensive location for the most part.

Yeah, but he has to close his eyes, who can successfully nut while being sucked off by The Joker?

Not necessarily true. They might think they can make more with it in the future, or they might just want to stop a competitor from having a success when they do not at all need the money. You are thinking like a poor.

I'd say the original series is the weakest of all of them... but this is understandable, because they were finding the formula. They didn't really hit their stride until a couple seasons in there either, but there was a lot more to like sooner than SGU. The state of the art was lesser at the time as well, so that made it more appealing, because the production values were really very high. It might not seem like it if you compare S1 of SG1 to S1 of SGA, but you just have to remember that time passed there.

If you watched it in period and were fresh off a high of watching the movie, it was a lot more appealing.

Ah, you're one of those people who doesn't recognize that the ICC and general welfare clauses constitute an effective blank check, because the constitution was written at a simpler, dumber time

There are exactly 8B people on the planet? That's interesting news. Factually though, most people want less pollution, and don't care what cowards think.

What does this ruling have to do with parties? A democratic administration would have sought the same end.

I can edit but I generally choose not to. Given the tripe many people are passing off as logic around here, I might as well pass off tripe as editing.
