Depends on the value of the target. Costs Ukraine $918 to kill a Russian soldier[1] but if you’re using a fully offline automated swarm to destroy a petro system worth billions then what’s a few GPUs strapped to each one to run local models.

It's only Coca-Cola if it comes from the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée of Atlanta, otherwise it's only a sparking cola beverage.

It's a catch-22: I already gambled the coin I was going to use for the heads-or-tails bet.

If anyone from Ford reads HN: What's keeping me from a Ford Maverick truck is waiting for the PHEV version.

Just get a lightning unless it's too big for you.

Just take a look at the photos of his residences, it's filled with big black redaction squares of the "artwork" and photos on his walls and the little bits that can be seen lend a huge credence to his prior conviction.

Absolutely bonkers to say he's a "somewhat flawed person" when there's gigs of PDFs of some of the most heinous things imaginable.

Insane thing to write when the "purity test" is not supporting/investing in a defense contractor with a CEO who begged Epstein to go to the island.

Zip was fairly defacto RW media between ~1997-2004.

I was in College around that time and the blue Mac G3's in most computer labs had Zip drives, and many PC's in the labs had Zip drives too.

Can speak for someone who managed a racked [1] Mac Mini racked as a server in 2015~2018:

* Profile Manager / MDM * Caching server for OS updates * Thunderbolt connection to a PCIe RAID HBA for a JBOD for NAS file sharing

All these things/use cases now are depreciated, MDM via JAMF in the cloud, internet is fast enough that caching OS updates isn't necessary, and NAS's are much better suited.

Anecdotally on how this affects the day to day user experience: I just deployed T-Mobile 5G Business Internet to a temporary pop-up art space (it's only active for a few months) and I'd say twice daily I get a CAPTCHA challenge on Google search.

And I hope it gets worse for users behind CG-NAT to the point that websites and ISPs move to IPv6.

I would have thought that a 5G connection would have IPv6 and wouldn't need CGNAT to Google properties

On the used market you'll find absolutely cooked (literally) Leafs whose first life was in Arizona and barely have enough range to back out of the driveway.

I have a gen 1 leaf with a remaining range of about 500 yards if you drive gently...

I use it in my driveway to make it look to thieves like someone is home (round me, houses with no car get broken into).

Sounds like an old Roomba I used to have that could clean for about 2 minutes before it ran out of juice.

Is there any value in fixing the battery on these? IE: Do the other components last long enough to be worth the cost?

It seems like procuring the battery is not as expensive as the Tesla battery (I see someone who did it themselves for $6k on Youtube with the battery from a wrecked leaf). In comparison, the cost I see for my Model 3 is about ~$18k CAD.

Getting a car up and running for $8k might be worth it if it is otherwise dependable, but I've only heard unfortunate stories about the first gen Leaf.

Is it worth spending money on a car that old? You are putting more than the car is worth into fixing it and you won't get that back if you sell. You also have no idea when/if something else will go. thew worst case is the day after you fix it someone hits you and the repairs will be $30,000 - what it cost new and there are still a lot of worn out parts: insurance will give you $4000 and tell you to eat the loss.

30000? What? Leaf packs are swap able between years… here in bc 2k and you have a newer pack in

30k is the real cost to repair some accident damage to a leaf - think bent frame. this could happen anytime. Nobody would pay that price to the whole car ends up in a junk yard.
