Return to office has roughly 30% quit rate across the board.

Job relocation, especially that far away, is nearly 100%. Very few people are willing to uproot their entire lives, and those of their family, just for a job.

In effect, Apple has decided to lay off this entire office and hire a new one in Texas.

I imagine it's a safety thing. This way, every time you get into a Bolt (and possibly other EVs; I don't know how their switches are configured) it's in a known state. You will not be surprised (the hard way) when you pick it up from the mechanic, or your SO drove it previously, etc, and discover that it's in 2-pedal mode.

This is always a user-enabled option. On the Chevy Bolt, it's a button on the center console that you have to activate every time you turn it on.

Note that Tesla, specifically, does not allow any third-party repairs. They simply don't make the parts available to independent shops. They are very much like Apple in this regard.

From my understanding, EVs from Chevy and Ford follow the same model as their ICE models. You may have difficulty finding independent mechanics that can work on their EVs, but it's not because the manufacturer is freezing them out.

How many lights do you see?

Fully agree. There's absolutely no way his whole bit about guns was generated from an LLM, while including the tangent about Japan. There had to have been a significant amount of leading prompts to get it to that point. At which point, whoever developed those prompts gets (at least partial) credit as a writer

You need video to show with certainty that they are white. Text can be written by anyone

The big one seems to be non-techies who long ago heard they were good. A long, LONG time ago.

Do you mean that ICE is more efficient than EV at higher speeds, or that ICE scales better than EV?

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago

It's also a factor that acceleration/deceleration in an ICE kills mileage. Highway tests maintain a constant speed. If you ran the same test at 35 mph, they would get much better mileage than at 55 (or 70)

It's the same with gas, you just didn't notice it as much. Gas cars definitely get way lower mileage in the winter.

I really doubt that's a significant portion of drunk drivers. Those people would not be getting far when driving anyway.

The amount of fighting there was about lowering the BAC limit from 0.10 to 0.08 leads me to believe that's where a large portion of them are.
