Do UK citizens pay generation + transmission + taxes like we do in the USA?

We pay a standing charge per day. Mine is 40p. So every day my costs are 40p + my per kWh costs. There’s also 5% tax on domestic electricity, but the prices I quoted include this.

No. Electric. My price changes every 30 minutes.

I wrote that message this morning when the price was low. Now at 5pm the price is nearer 40p. Obviously you don’t charge a car at peak prices.

Over the last 4 weeks I’ve averaged 18p/kWh. That’s mainly by making sure I do things like charge the car when it’s cheap.

My rate is very variable, but the figure I used is the off-peak rate on a rate designed for EV owners that gives cheap overnight electricity.

My gas price is 5.9p/kWh which also changes, but day by day. Today is average.

I think I would have preferred to just manifest as a being of energy that could take corporal form at will.

Would have been a lot easier on my mum.

All depends on the maturity of the process. 10% for a new design on a bleeding edge process is possibly viable. You’ll then tweak the design and process to get the yield up.

• 12.5miles per $electricity-dollar (17.1c / kw-hr home charging costs)
• 17.1 miles per $gasoline-dollar ($3.10 per gallon last fillup).

UK figures:

• Right now my electricity price is 6p/kWh, but the wind is rather high today (Storm Darragh). Still there are tariffs that guarantee 7.5p (9¢) overnight for car charging. That gives 24.3 miles per $electricity.
• Petrol is ~£1.40 a litre here ($5.30 per US gallon). So, 9.8 miles per $gasoline.

The maths was right, except it was all being done on colour values than already had the CRTs response curve baked into them. You may have heard of “gamma correction”. Well, this is when you correct an images colour values for the display you’ll view it on.

Blending before gamma correction and after gamma correction produce very different results. The cards were doing it after. This story is about doing it before.

Paul Debevec had similar observations around the same time. His work at the time was all about HDRI and that was put into Source a few years later.

Oh. You mean The Big Giant Head.

The John Lithgow version is better. Partly because it’s better produced, but also because Shatner… Well… He shatners the shock of it all.

There’s something… On the plane!

…but then you’re losing quick copy and paste.

Select text then middle click on the window you want to paste it. No keys. Select and a single click.

Of course, if you have more than three mouse buttons you can do both.

It’s arch. There’ll be no issue here.

Eco chambers sound like a good thing.

No

Fair

You have a plug hole in your canoe?

The last decade has brought a lot of clarity to me on this. People follow the herd and are tribal. If a movement gains enough momentum, most people will go along with it even if it’s “against their principles”. There are very few people that will stand up in front of an advancing hoard and say “Stop! This is wrong.”

I suspect Nazi Germany was the same. Most people will have accepted what was happening as the price of an easy life, and it wasn’t until it was too late that they realised what had happened.

The graphics API isn’t something superficial. The source engine was designed from the ground up around APIs from 20 years ago. Any Vulkan adapter will be a bodge.

This sounds like a good thing. I don’t care if the manufacturer of my equipment trusts the software. I care if I trust it.

Could the oldest profession be one of the first to be replaced by AI?

No.
