<p>Brother, I live in Austin. It's 40C outside and my kids are very young.<p>We do have bike paths over that routes but it's just not safe for my kids yet. The road they need to bike along allows up to 65mph.<p>In the Netherlands I just had to cross a 30km/h road (down to 20km during school hours and pedestrians always get first preference) to drop them. Netherlands is just too satisfactorily safe ♥</p>

<p>Hahahaha no, its a 2019 CR-V. I explained it in another comment. Maybe it has to do with that journey specifically?</p>

<p>You're right. One of my friends in the Netherlands does has a 3 hour total commute over the day. It's insane.</p>

<p>2019 CR-V<p>I can squeeze up to 40mpg on interstate if I drive slow (under 65mph) and it's typically about 20-25mpg within the city but the ride for School specifically, I'm not sure what's going on there.<p>Maybe its not truly 1 full gallon so not 12mpg but a little over that like ~18mpg.</p>

<p>It's cheap but you also travel a lot in the US. Specially in the southern states because everything is so far.<p>Anecdotal reference, my children's school is roughly 3 miles, so I spend a gallon of gas every day with 2 round-trips.<p>That number was zero in Netherlands because all schools are either walkable or bike able.<p>Supermarkets and restaurants are 5 miles away easily.<p>Heck, my neighbor (door to door) is 0.4 miles.</p>

<p>Just to add context those are just dumb lamps and I acknowledge that the product here has a lot more features including IoT support and the ability to change Hue.<p>Is it the ability to change Hue that makes this expensive?</p>

<p>For someone who has no idea about light engineering or electronics if I stack two 25k Lm lamps next to each other does it make 50k Lm light?<p>I recently changed my car's headlamps to Chinese LED which claims to be about 37kLm and I don't know how much it is probably less than that.<p>Two of those lamps costee me around $24 on Amazon US (pretty sure under $10 in China).<p>What makes this $800+ ?</p>

<p>> GroqCloud will wind down over 12-18 months. They'll either get laid off or jump ship to wherever they can land. They built the LPU architecture, contributed to the compiler stack, supported the infrastructure, and got nothing while Chamath made $2B.<p>This is depressing.</p>

<p>Sorry, I never got a notification of your response but, Bingo! It's the same idea! We actually do restaurants as well! I'm using OSM at the moment, so you can technically rate and review any feature that exists on OSM.</p>

<p>I'm currently using ChatGPT Plus and developing with GPT-4o-mini (Continue for VS Code), which costs me around $25 a month. However, I'm considering switching to Claude, as I'm aware that AI tools can evolve rapidly, and ChatGPT might improve again in the future.<p>I'm also frustrated with the cumulative costs of AI tools — $20 for Cursor, $20 for the GPT API, and $20 for ChatGPT.<p>Are there any recommendations for managing these costs while still accessing high-quality AI tools? Is it worth switching to Claude now, or should I stick with ChatGPT for the time being? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks. What sparked my curiosity is while I'm writing code even a small mistake in the most simple programs can cost me tens or hundreds of milliseconds whereas behind a simple flushing to disk command there is so much happening at so many layers all in sub-millisecond or at most in a couple of seconds.</p>

<p>I want to learn how I/O works in a reasonable detail.<p>For instance, when I want to do something with a disk, IIRC, things that get involved are<p>- Kernel / OS calls (maybe we can skip this)
- File System
- MBR / GPT
- Random v/ Sequential calls<p>I want to understand what happens in each level. Is there anything I can read to gain understanding of all of these areas?</p>
