    The energy mix of the physical grid (the western interconnect in this case) is what matters for stability. (in places with limited transmission this is more complicated but at a st…

    Cool, that's still not a grid for stability purposes.

    It's slower than the 4:1 ratio would imply, but it does indeed work. Things get really slow if the model doesn't for in vram + ram and you have to go from disk to ram to vram.

    The Chinese don't have access to new EUV machines. All of their fabrication ability is based on old processes.

    Have you seen the price of electricity? That's with only about 5% of cars being electric. We've consumed nearly all of the slack in transmission capacity. I'm expecting transmissio…

    Canada allowed millions of temporary foreign workers in. Unfortunately the border actually needs to be more sealed.
