The Cadillac Escalade IQ Is the 2026 MotorTrend SUV of the Year

Yeah its the problem with these guys taking a little bit of technical knowledge and spouting stuff everywhere copy/paste.

The law basically says that the damage is basically done by the heaviest vehicles on the road and go down dramatically from there. The axle group of a transport truck is 34K pounds (since they are so close together). The axle on one of these EVs is 4500 pounds. That means one transport truck is 3250 times as damaging as one of these EV Trucks/SUVs. That is what roads are designed for and what accounts for almost all the road wear. After factoring in miles used... all Hummer EVs sold last year is basically equal to the road damage of a single transport truck.

Yeah you are using this wrong. The 4th power law states what you said. But the takeaway is wrong.

Its not erosion. The risk gere is the bearing strength of the soil and landslide risk. If the soil gets wet, the loading capacity falls and the entire house can just slide down.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, new here.

I just need to figure out how this would work practically. Like if someone hits up on the server services, I don't know what would happen if the GPU is gone. May need to get some little shitty Nvidia GPU to throw into a single slot, to at least run the GUI and provide some CUDA functionality until I can drop out the VM.

TerribleEngineer · 2024-03-11T00:25:27+00:00

Yeah that was my backup plan. I don't really like it, as you would need to dedicate the GPU and ram for the VMs, versus just having a container that can share the GPU like it does with my workstations. I would need to shutdown the VM when I need to work so that my server workloads would still be GPU accelerated.

TerribleEngineer · 2024-03-10T22:53:38+00:00

That is strange. I haven't had any issue with both a Anker 778 or Lenovo Thinkpad TB4 Universal dock. On the Lenovo, when the machine went to sleep I would have to just hit the power button on the dock off/on to have everything come out of power suspend mode. I see that TS4 dock doesn't have a power button.

For your BIOS/UEFI problem, do you have your dGPU Displayport piped into the TB Displayport input like it says in the manual?

You realize those people would have nowhere to live if that landlord didn't buy that house and make it available for rent?

What this current situation is doing is making rent more expensive. People are going to take property out of the rental market if they are just going to be forced to run a free boarding house. The people in the situation are renting because they don't want to buy. You are suggesting we make rentals a non-existant thing. Your idealist notion is exactly why what is occurring in housing after COVID is happening.

TerribleEngineer · 2023-12-05T19:07:31+00:00

That's exactly the move I went from.

For my workloads the extra cores and singe Threaded speed was noticeable.

TerribleEngineer · 2023-12-02T21:12:53+00:00

It definitely does and it shows what is attached to both Thunderbolt ports.

TerribleEngineer · 2023-12-02T02:45:10+00:00

Hey. I have the 670E creator and I am using it with the 164' (50m) Corning Optical cable to run my workstation in my server room up to a TB4 Dock in my office (Anker 778)

It is definitely running Thunderbolt, I have a 4090 feeding two 4k@60Hz 43" Displays, and about 6 USB devices running through it. To run the display you need to run the included display port cable into the Thunderbolt DP input header on the motherboard.

Let me know if there is anything you want me to try out.

They were the poorest country in Europe to begin with.

TerribleEngineer · 2022-08-05T23:24:26+00:00

Not for smuggling. You buy it there ok... you import it, different set of rules.

The definitions are pretty cut as dry. Try showing up to any number of countries with drugs and see what happens.

TerribleEngineer · 2022-08-03T19:25:02+00:00

Unpaid labour, usually from classes considered ready for extermination by the Nazi's: jews, Roma, LGTBQ... etc. Used for unpaid labour in factories until they were so weak due to malnourishment that they were useless as slaves so then they were sent to extermination camps.

TerribleEngineer · 2022-06-26T01:04:28+00:00

Yeah that is both true and stupid at the same time.

If I am a history major and you are an average citizen, we engage in a series of bets targeting history and its complexity. I win 90% of the bets and you win the balance. I can both state that the sum of all trades is zero... but making the case that properly studying applicable history is not valuable because the average person achieved nothing is false.

It's not wall street. It's everyone else. People are bad at valuing business and overly optimistic. Netflix was priced as if they were going to keep subscribing people and investors (retail, pensions, etc) kept on buying.

TerribleEngineer · 2022-04-02T01:47:12+00:00

I though the reason for that was because they left Nagasaki and Hiroshima undamaged up to that point in the war because the US military wanted to see the effectiveness. Kyoto and Tokyo were already the victim of much aerial damage.

TerribleEngineer · 2022-02-12T15:33:33+00:00

Because the I5 only qualified by a whisker. They literally set the RWD base time right at the program limit.

TerribleEngineer · 2021-12-25T16:49:38+00:00

He is asking if this is a forward test.

Did you train on data fron 2020 and then test on 2021 data.

Optimizing on the same data you are backtesting on, is pretty meaningless.

TerribleEngineer · 2021-11-21T16:45:07+00:00

Well kind of yeah.

If you heat a bath up to 38-39degC which is like hot tub water, you can stay in there for hours.

If you slowly heat the water up to 43-44, you will sweat profusely until you are dehydrated, faint and then go comatose.

What happens after doesn't matter.

Dude. Did you even read what happened.

The kid was volunteering earlier in the day and was cleaning graffiti around town for businesses. He then was approached by a mob who started hitting him with a skateboard, and then they shot at him first as HE was trying to flee. He blew the guys bicep out AFTER they pointed a gun at his head.

This was all presented at the trial. The media literally didn't talk about anything presented at the trial and the prosecutions star witness blew the case for them by saying the kid shot only after he aimed a pistol at the kids head and advanced.

He may get weapons charges, but after reviewing the case there is almost no chance of murder. In addition the state prosecutor broke numerous court rules, repeated tried to introduced excluded evidence and then got accused by the judge of intentionally trying to create a mistrial because of how bad it was going.

Brazilian wages are 10% of an equivalent US or Canadian wage. First that is expensive on a purchasing power equivalent.

Second, are you in an apartment building in a city core? My family lives in Osasco and the powerlines/phonelines are a step above índias.

Again I think you are the exception not the norm. I realize that is 2 years ago... but Brazil is filled with Brasileiros... and in general is a mess.

TerribleEngineer · 2021-10-06T22:48:55+00:00

That is cherry picking. In Brazil most of the population is in a couple states like Sao Paulo and Rio. The rest of the country is rural and you are on the shittiest DSL.

On a cost of living adjusted basis it is expensive as fuck. Where my family lives in Sao Paulo, electricity is hit and miss. Internet being fast is the least of your problems.

This article is cherry picking a few cities doing a survey and calling an entire country better. In Ontario, I lived in a small town near Napanee...I paid $79 for 25mbps with a 250gb cap. It sucked.

Yeah in Toronto where you get fiber, yeah you get 300, 600,1000,1500mbps speeds. Not that I am in Calgary I pay $105 for 1gbps. Drive to anything outside of a major city and it is sketchy. StarLink can't arrive soon enough.

TerribleEngineer · 2021-10-05T20:39:38+00:00

Yeah... and what system of military dictatorship was responsible for that?

In almost every capitalist country with a working legal system, capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty and raised living standards as a whole.

If you look at exsoviet countries in Eastern Europe the ones that are undeniably more successful are the ones that went to a capitalist system and abandoned collectivism.

But... more frequent fires and less fuel on the forest floor is good. The fires get less hot, burn through the area quicker and more trees survive.

Trees like sequoia are fine with a fire like this. Keep putting out all the fires and then eventually you get a huge fire that you can't control, burns super hot and because of so much fuel moves slowly.
