Axiom number 1 of selling: "Selling is always emotional, and once the buyer is convinced of the purchase, they take it upon themselves to find the technical reason to justify their purchase."
For instance, you can do many things with KVM (RedHat, Oracle and some others sells KVM support), just like with Nutanix. A very common pattern I've used in several companies is for the KVM nodes to mount storage via iSCSI, and then each node performs a DRBD replica of the iSCSI volumes.
For example, at one company, they have two sites 10 kilometers apart. Each site has a 10TB iSCSI volume. Each site has 4 KVM nodes.
All 8 KVM nodes mount both 10TB iSCSI volumes and use DRBD + Pacemaker.
This way, regardless of which site fails, all the data remains synchronously replicated (thanks to DRBD), and I still have 4 nodes left to run the most critical services.
I am sure that you can find out some obscure Nutanix feature that is not pressent in KVM to justify what you want to buy.
"We're currently looking to jump ship to either Microsoft's Hyper-V or Nutanix". You alredy got screwed by Broadcom and your plan is to move to another propietary options... AMAZING.
Or even use an LLM Deep Research to look for alterntatives.
Remember This is the company that forbid GameStop trading during the stock meme days. Move along. Nothing to see here.
They should make it easy for comma.ai to plug into their cars and pay comma.ai to support their cars. Sending liabiities to them.
Yep. I had a big chunk of code with a typo that I was not able to detect. I referenced the wrong variable.
I describe the problem to Gemini and gave it the code and it fixed it.
"hill gradient" is the issue. On a perfect flat leveled surface you can add as much battery as you want and the car will still move. The acceleration will suffer though. Resistance increase on a flat leveled surface for a car when adding more weight is really low.
Something really interesting is the Netflix documentary called "take your pils". At the end, they showed a double blind experiment of people taking Aderal vs. placebo.
Although there were ZERO improvements in the Aderal group, one strange result is that almost 100% who took Aderal instead of placebo, checked one box in the test. The box asked "do you feel the pill helped you perform better"?. That didn't happened to the control placebo group.
Patents are the core problem.
Economy: Science that studies scarcity.
Patent: A way to make scarce a resource it is not scarce.
So by definition, patentes reduce the world economy. Even more importan, Mariana Mazucatto (Italian economist) managed to study all drugs create after WW2 up to know and she was able to prove that at least, 75% of the drugs were created with government funds, and then a pharma took it. modified an atom of the molecule and patented it.
Take for example Ketamine as a single shot lifetime antidepressant ( https://www.ted.com/talks/rebe... ). It was proved to work real well, but since it cannot be patented, no pharma wants to work to get it approved by the FDA as antidepressant. Finally, a pharma was able to modify the molecule and patent it (SPRAVATO). The modification was done so it is no longer a single shot lifetime antidepressant (you need to take it constantly) and to be able to patent it. It was the fastest drug ever approved by the FDA at the time.
Government and patents are at the core of the problem. If a new drug that promises to solve depression forever for every person in the planet with a single shot, and no pharma wants to test it because it can't be patented, government role is to test it and approve it.
Follow the money...
BTW. Propeller airplanes are easier to electrify. Might be cheaper than a high speed train.
It will coexists with machines.
BMW i3 REX was a great implementation of the PHEV idea.
That was thanks to moving from 32 to 64 bits. That's made all the difference in memory capacity.
The EU was able to force Apple to use USB-C.
We need the EU to force EV car makers to use the same plug and to use a standard modular form factor for batteries (for example, 40x40x10 cm packs with 350V on a standard plug) so you can replace smaller FRU packs whenever they die or whenever newer and better chemistry is available.
Instead of government regulations were we are allowed to use cars, we need government regulations to improve EVs repair costs.
Ummm, well, OK. The network's the network, the computer's the computer. Sorry for the confusion. -- Sun Microsystems
