Isn't that the group Microsoft laid off a couple of days ago? I mean technically if they don't replace them with an AI that's an answer to the question posed, but there's always the "we're eliminating that position" option.

What makes you think we were discussing you?

You're a therapist and have this opinion? Wow, how times have changed in the last 61 years since the advent of ELIZA.

Honest follow-up: What's wrong with UTC?

At the tone the time will be 21 hours and 56 minutes Coordinated Universal Time.

BEEEEEP

Tick, tick, tick, tick...

Ho ho ho?

You say "some" the article you link below says "a few". That article is very clear they're talking about a small minority of glaciers.

I now have a new fear -- that Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida reads Reddit. PLEASE don't give him ideas!

You skipped a step.

1. They wanted to be a professional network.
2. Microsoft bought them. <---
3. Now it's all sales and spam.

Fuck nVidia. I'm waiting until December 13th for the new Radeons. If they perform anywhere near spec, you'd have to be insane to buy a 4080/4090.

>AMD Radeon RX 7900 Series graphics cards are expected to be available from AMD.com beginning December 13, 2022, and from leading board partners including ASRock, ASUS, Biostar, Gigabyte, MSI, PowerColor, Sapphire, Vastarmor, XFX and Yeston beginning mid-December. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX has an SEP of $999 USD, while the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT has an SEP of $899 USD.

Use a RAM doubler, but watch out for the Black Shakes.

I was mostly quibbling with your description of the solar power as merely a nice backup, not disputing that distribution lines are very sturdy in storms and the bulk of electrical issues are with local delivery by pole.

I've been researching Babcock Ranch since the development was proposed, and what I'm saying is they included local power generation in their development plan -- the adjacent solar field. That local generation, combined with underground delivery, elevated home lots and roads designed to act as flood drainage, plus being 30 miles inland, played a part in their being one of the only areas to maintain power when 2.3 million other households around them lost it.

That's not quite an accurate way to put this. While you are right that the underground power lines certainly help things and eliminate poles that are susceptible to being blown over, for Babcock Ranch the solar is not a nice backup, it is the primary electric source. The adjacent 870 acres solar power facility that is run by Florida Power and Light, is the primary power for the town. It is essentially a micro grid, connected to the rest of Florida's grid. They get their juice from solar, and the excess goes to the greater grid. It isn't a backup. Some people have opted to put their own solar panels on their house, but that's not really part of the equation.
