Its good but its wildly expensive.

Its also pretty potent stuff, I describe more as coffee for people who love coffee, not hate it.

It's expensive, but not wildly so. Yes, it's potent. If what you're looking for is a cup of coffee, you're supposed to dilute it with water.

> Battery life is also much better. The fan itself is obviously eating less power. I think the CPU also enters a somewhat lower power state in whisper mode, or it’s willing to sleep a little deeper. It’s not clear everything that changes, and it varies by machine, but that’s the beauty of it.

You can get 90% of the way here on an Intel CPU by setting the EPB. There are a number of ways to do this on Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Intel...

By shifting to a more power efficient mode, the fan noise should be lowered or eliminated (the fan in my laptop is default off and it rarely comes on at all).

Can you add Linux build instructions for people not on Debian/Ubuntu?

I didnt see anything on the github or in the source download.

Alternatively an AppImage or Flatpak is a nice way to test software.

Can't really help with exact instructions for other distros, but the "in a nutshell" is you need to install qtcreator and QT5.

After you have them installed and working all you have to do is load the .pro file from the Project directory (https://github.com/TheBeef/WhippyTerm/tree/main/Project) you should be able to just hit the green debug/go button and it should work (you do need to be using the gcc toolchain). This is the same for the Windows build.

Hope this helps.

> Yes but as a shareholder I get an untaxed unrealised capital gain instead of a taxable dividend

In the US, stock buybacks are taxed. But, its a fairly negligible amount (1%).

I only clicked through the first few steps of the process but it appears to require government issued ID.

You don't need to be in the country legally to get a California driver's license.

Similarly, there are mechanisms that allow victims of crimes to seek help from the police without fear of deportation.

Makes sense to me. I'm much more worried about road safety and crime than people coming to the US then paying payroll and sales taxes, but not being able to claim federal benefits.

Which is to say, they are "undocumented" on federal level but not on state level.

Which is well and good, but then the original question still applies: how do the bots manage to get past all these requirements?

> If everyone builds non-tracking arrays, power during peak will become almost worthless if solar is a big part of overall generation capacity

During peak solar yesterday in California wholesale power was $5-6/MWh (<1c/kWh).

The CA grid is routinely over 100% renewables during springtime. The excess is handled by having a lot of batteries, exporting energy, and curtailments.

A Waymo has something like $100k of sensors and other hardware on top of the cost of the vehicle.

That cost will almost certainly come down, but at the moment it is cheaper to just pay a human to drive a car with $0 of AV hardware.

Yeah, manufactured goods aren't exactly known to increase in price as production scales. This is a very temporary anomaly. Cars with drivers are on the precipice of becoming extinct, save for specialty needs and the wealthy.

Its subtly annoying that assistant.kagi.com doesnt work but translate.kagi.com does

We heard you!

Still doesn’t work for me.

Looking at the Ranger, it sold 5.6M units between 1985-2005, its highest selling years.

F series Fords definitely outsold it, but is also a larger product line.

120kW charging isnt slow by any reasonable standard, especially for a vehicle with a <60kWh battery.
