Steer by wire is cheaper to produce, as it allows you to reduce costs for RHD markets (e.g. Australia, New Zealand, UK, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, etc).

For example, Ford F-150 and RAM 1500 trucks from the US are exported to Australia where they need to undergo an expensive conversion process before they can be sold. This is why a base model F-150 is US$74000 in Australia.

Nobody is going to be flying to Europe or Australia on a smaller plane.

Maybe SAF provides an answer for these flights, but it would likely be prohibitively expensive.

The solution likely is mandating carbon offset payments for these passengers.

3.2kbps is the maximum rate of symbols (i.e. 3200 baud). So K56Flex squeezes one extra bit per symbol.

As far as I can tell it’s basically used cooking oil and waste fats.

Microsoft is also known to be working on an iOS gaming store, as part of its Activision Blizzard acquisition.

iOS has a similar feature called Night Shift (Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift)

I’m genuinely interested how a new coal power plant is less polluting than an old coal power planet? Particularly when carbon capture isn’t a thing yet.

At the end of the day it’s all the same coal.

One thing I don’t understand is how the architecture of Apple Silicon is different from NVidia’s.

Looking at this quote:

> the Nvidia H100 GPU has 132 SMs with 64 cores per SM, totalling a whopping 8448 cores.

8448 cores sure sounds impressive. But the Apple M2 Ultra only has 76 cores?!

How can the NVidia H100 GPU have over 110x more cores? Clearly it doesn’t have 110x more performance over the M2 Ultra, so what is going on here?

The issue with CarPlay is that it’s too annoying to use.

With wired CarPlay, I need to physically plug in the cable. Which is now mildly complicated by the whole lightning vs USB-C problem.

With wireless CarPlay, it tends to connect to one device which may or may not be the driver’s phone. Switching the connection to another device is a nightmare.

When renting a car, Wireless CarPlay is even worse as there seems to be a maximum number of phones the head unit can remember. I’ve often had to factory reset the head unit to get it to work with my phone, which ironically deletes all the AM/FM presets.

Also the limited Apple Music interface is not good, forcing you to use Siri. The Siri button on the steering wheel often defaults to the cars voice control system. Siri itself is a very weak part of Apple’s ecosystem.

None of these problems are necessarily Apple related. But they point to fact that Apple CarPlay is often tacked onto an in-air infotainment system, rather than an integral part of the in-vehicle experience.

Tesla has the weirdest vehicle lineup of any manufacturer.

Throwing all their weight behind everyone wanting a 3 and Y was always going to be a problem.

I don’t think the refresh will help that much either, it will just kill demand in the interim.

They need more vehicles, and variety.

I noticed over the past few months they seemed to be heavily promoting their “Stack Overflow for Teams” product.

My guess is that hasn’t gone well.

Yah for AI, I guess.

Want some rye, course ya do.

Did IBM beat them by over 2 years?

Are there any benefits for electric vehicles?

YouTube made a loss for many years because the storage and data costs were vastly higher than their revenue, despite offering the product for free.

Indigenous Australians are strongly culturally linked to the land. They weren’t a sea faring people, unlike the Polynesians.

They did have boats (dugouts), but they weren’t suited for the ocean.

I understand that Akamai’s new bot manager does more than just grab telemetry data.

It’s more like a captcha for browsers, i.e. if the user is using a real browser it should behave in a way that pre-scripted bots can’t easy replicate. The payload is auto-injected by Akamai so the expected behaviour can be altered in a non-deterministic way.

They should double it every month.

I see them moving their predatory software to the printer itself. My HP printer already runs a flavour of Android.

Is the same issue in Australia. However it increasing has become a supply and demand issue, where housing supply has not kept up with immigration policy.

Both BigTable and DynamoDB only support eventual consistency. That is a big asterisk in ACID for those technologies.

This article does a poor job of even identifying candidates, because it narrows its scope to old world history (i.e. european, middle eastern, and asian history).

It ignores for example, Aboriginal Australians whose history and language dates back over 50,000 years. Far preceding the timelines mentioned. Many African cultures and languages are likewise much older than those mentioned in the article.

There is plastic-free paper and cardboard packaging. But that is normally loaded with PFAS which is used to stop paper from breaking down when exposed to food fats. However PFAS is a chemical that accumulates in the human body and has been linked to cancer, liver damager, decreased fertility, asthma, and thyroid damage.

So yeah, you can remove the plastic lining from paper, but that severely decreases our quality of life.

iWater?!

iPad isn’t doing very well. I wonder how they can fix that.

> I kind of felt bad for New Relic, they were obviously pioneers in the space

The pioneer was a company called Wily Technology. Wily came quite big, and CA acquired them.

The founders of Wily took their fortune and separately created New Relic and AppDynamics based on Wily technology. CA sued both companies for patent violations. The lawsuit has since been settled.

I wouldn’t feel bad for them. In a way, New Relic should never have existed. The founder already had his pay day.

This website really struggles to define the problem, it goes straight into the solution.

If I have a Magic Mouse do I need this?

Places like Australia has some seriously large distances, with some of the most isolated populations on earth.

Sure it's a small market (most Australians live in their state's capital city), but there needs to be some consideration for those that need serious range. The issue is frequently mentioned when talking about banning ICE vehicles.

Toyota Landcruiser's with auxiliary fuel tanks (over 240 litres) are the workhorses in outback Australia.
