Great, they can fix the bugs being filed by another part of their company

Does Google seriously not have a whole team of people who help maintain ffmpeg?

Somewhat related, does rust handle the riscv vector extension in a similar way to simd?

riscv was already gaining a profile mechanism outside of ISO, for example 'RVA23' is a known set of extensions

Why didn't they just keep it on life support?

They don't even have to call them Tesla. They could be "Whitebox EV Van" brand

SDN is great if you're trying to build something like a multi-tenant cloud on top of another network of machines. Your DPUs can handle all the overlay logic as if there was a top of rack switch in each chassis

justahuman74 — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 03:33:28 +0000

To give a concrete datapoint, last month's bill was $820 for just the electricity generation and transmission (so no gas included) - that was for 1900 kWh for 1 month. That handles a 2000 sqft house with central AC, with two EV cars that are driven about 20mins/day, and we only charge those at night when the rates are low (low=$0.3/kWh)

At some point the electricity will be near-free, and we'll just pay transmission fees
