This was my experience with Radeon cards. I hated Nvidia because they killed 3DFX which I loved and bought everything except Nvidia for a long time. So I had Matrox, Radeon, etc. My last Radeon had just endless weird framerate issues. Then the fan died and it baked itself to death as well. I relented and finally bought an Nvidia card. Everything immediately ran perfectly smooth. No weird random glitches. I've begrudgingly become an Nvidia devotee since then (and had no issues).
Now if only I didn't have to deal with Realtek issues...
I feel like a missing stop sign is a problem regardless if your brain is squishy or silicon. In fact there is an unmarked 4 way stop near my office. There is a crash there about once every 2-3 months.
What horrifically terrible machine learning algorithm sees a red octagon and thinks it's a black and white rectangular speed limit sign? How is the visual machine learning matrix so bad that a triangular yellow sign would be registered as a stop sign?
Do they not train the machine learning algorithms with color images? Considering you can rely on 1-2 seconds of latency for a sign there is no reason to use the same sort of low latency machine learning algorithms used for pedestrian identification or road lines.
And groceries! These recent news stories are a little rediculous. "Amazon to start selling Groceries! What does this mean for commerce!? Is Amazon a monopoly" You mean selling durable goods and groceries just like Fred Meyer and Costco and WalMart and Target and...
"Amazon now selling white label house brands! Is Amazon a Monopoly!? What does this mean!" You mean just like Safeway and Krogers and Costco and WalMart and Target and QFC and Bartell's and RiteAid....
Costco also sells vacation packages, Gasoline, ready-to-eat pizza, hotdogs and even car washes. Amazon has a long way to go to 'catch up' to Costco.
I'm torn. The fleshy backup is great, but it also often messes things up. I am curious if the backup actually prevents more crashes than the number it causes.
According to a new study from the University of Surrey, Londonâ(TM)s Tube riders experience worse air than those who travel by car. In the worst cases, particulate levels in the subway system can be as much as eight times higher than those experienced by drivers. The pollution caused by motor vehicles may be a menace to health, but when it comes to exposure and potential health effects, it seems youâ(TM)re worse off underground.
You're even being generous to this idiotic complaint.
UK: Electric cars don't solve the problem because we still have brake and tire dust!" Me: Great! Easy problem, we ban all cars. Ok how do we get around? UK: Buses! Me: Ummm, ok, do busses have tires or brakes? Yes? Try again. UK: Subways! Me: And Subways don't have brake pads? UK: Boats? Me: Great, we'll just dig and install canals everywhere.
EVs don't solve the problem but *every* means of transportation on land has brake pads except for maglev vehicles. And that I'm sure emits some kind of weird rare earth magnet dust somehow.
If you get pregnant you're in a risky medical condition. The pill might put you at risk, but you're avoiding a different risk. For the male pill you're taking someone who is in a perfectly safe medical condition and putting them in a risky medical condition with no direct benefit to the individual.
It's a stickier ethics question than the slam dunk case for female contraceptive pills.
how much they spend each month is their "burn rate" I don't see how burning cash is that inaccurate of a description.
In my opinion it depends.
Twitter keeping the servers running for another month is in my opinion burning cash. Uber subsidizing their prices to win market share is burning cash. Capital Expenses for robots is in my opinion not burning cash since the durable goods have persistent value after they money is spent. Really you aren't burning cash you're converting the cash from one form into another form.

The US generally uses 120 volts for power so that would be 45.6 trillion mAh.
I have on the desk in front of me a phone with a battery that holds about 3000 mAh and when stood on end takes up a surface area of about 618 mm^2.
The 3,000 mAh is at 3.4v so 3.4v/120v * 3,000mah = 85 mah / phone
45.6 Trillion mAh / 85 mAh * 620mm^2 = 128 square miles 1 phone deep. If we assume that we can build up 6 feet that would be 14 phones high. 128 square miles / 14 = 9 square miles.
So clearly Elon Musk is assuming a lower power demand during the 9. Which I think is a safe assumption since we arguably are fast asleep for 8 of the 12 hours. If we use full power for 4 hours and no power once we're asleep (both bad assumptions) then you're down to 3 square miles at 6 feet tall.
There are some bad assumptions also in our estimate. We are assuming that 100% of a phone's volume is battery. This is probably false. It's probably close to 50% for screen and electronics. So that's 1.5 square miles. And it also assumes that a phone battery is equally efficient as a dedicated round large cell battery. You could easily explain a 33% difference in chemistry, manufacturing efficiency, heat sinks.
The easier comparison and more questionable estimate is a Tesla Powerpack.
Its dimensions are 218.5Âin Ã--Â82.2Âin Ã--Â130.8Âin with a rating of 200kwh.
5.5 billion kWh / 200 kwh = 27.5 million PowerPack
27.5million * 82.2 in * 130.8 in = 73.6 square miles. Even if we use our 4 hours a night that's still 24.5 square miles.
My wild-ass-guess is that everything we buy costs at least double due to taxes all along the way that accumulate.
That would be true with a straight revenue tax but almost nobody does that. Let's say you charge a 20% tax rate. That's not 20% of the ore that's 20% of profit on the ore. So if your margin is 5% on mineral extraction your effective tax on the ore is actually 1%. Add up say 20 steps and that's only 20% not 50%. That's where your logic fails. The next place to do a quick sniff test on your assumption is total taxes / GDP. Thankfully someone has already done that.
It's around 25% of GDP. So about 33% of the price of goods and services is tax. But that's the maximum not the minimum. A lot states like mine charge a 10% sales tax. So you can't double count that tax. It would be 15% of GDP or about 17% more expensive.
I am comparing it to Manhattan because that's the rate of sprawl [Seattle has] been experiencing
LOL Wut!? Ok, sure, compared to Manhattan Seattle is a "ghost town". But so is every other city in North America. You're expecting foot traffic in Seattle to be similar to Manhattan because "it's the same rate of sprawl". That's the dumbest fucking metric I've ever heard. So a small town of 50 people which quadruples to 200 people should see Manhattan foot traffic rates because their rate-of-sprawl metric is similar?
There is one statistic that affects foot traffic, it's called density. Manhattan has a population density of 70,517/sq mile. Belltown is the *most dense* Seattle neighborhood and it has 13,516/sq mile. Seattle as a whole is around 7,000/sq mile or 1/10th of Manhattan's density.
Maybe in downtown commercial districts. But that's true of every major city where the office buildings empty and nobody remains. South Lake Union and Cap Hill are active 24/7.
You can but the problem with Amazon (and I assume this) is that they don't offer the full catalog, only a limited selection (for the same price as HBO Now!).

Important warning too, many cheaper ND filters do not IR/UV so don't just buy ND5.0 without full spectrum filtering.

Yeah, in other shocking news, removing stop signs and shooting out stop lights can cause accidents!
