um, my Nissan got a windshield crack, I went to the dealership to get it fixed and they said run away. We [Nissan] will charge you ~$1000 and it might take the whole day while if you go to safelite, they'll do it in 2 hrs and <$300. I'm super thankful the sales clerk was nice and honest.
Windshields are the exception for car repair and you shouldn't have been going to toyota.
it'd be fun to drop this vector field on a graph (maybe a sphere's surface), interpolate between points, and then drop in particles and watch their streamlines.
Doesn't it make sense then to send the power eastward while max generating it and then import power from the west later in the day when you need it? You could theoretically leverage the time differences and peak usage/generation. I understand there is losses in transmission but seems like a good juggling act
I would say 5TB is reasonable. If a 4K movie is 100GB. then over 30 days is 3TB of usage. If 1 person per day watches a 4k movie and the household of ~1-5 people does other things as well, 5TB should be sufficient. I think that is a stretch and my gut says yeah, 1TB is good, but I already upload/download 10-20GB per day at work so 5TB seems more reasonable for an upper bound.
idk about Boston, but in Florida, I walked ~1km to elementary school, 15 minute bus to middle school (11-13 yrs old), and then had a 40 km drive/bus to high school.
While if I had stayed and lived in michigan, I would have been 1km walk from elementary, middle, and high school. With a university 5km away.
It all depends on the US city and state and how that community developed/organized.
I can answer this! So my work computers are 28, 32, and 96 physical cores each. And honestly, none of those are enough. I'd ideally have a very high clock speed 128 core desktop with a 1,000-10,000 compute cluster available with 10 gb/s internet speeds.
Now back to your question on why these are needed, parallelized simulations. I do computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for designing, fixing, troubleshooting, and optimizing processes and products. They solve large systems of equations that need many cores for meshing and solving and then we need high CPU/GPU core counts just to handle and process the data. In my case at least, the average industrial/manufacturing piece of equipment needs about 1000 cores to recreate as a digital twin due to the amount of multiphysics, complicated geometry, etc.
