Only when the orebody happens to be on the top of a mountain. Plenty of deep pits to haul up out of as well, but an overhead lines+pantograph setup allows you to use grid power for the hard bit and battery power for the easy bits on the level.


Mining is a 24/7 operation. There is no “over night” rest period. You need batteries that can charge during breaks for workers and usually they have 3 breaks in a 12 hour shift.
So 4 hours runtime, 20 minutes back to full charge is a pretty good fit.
Never mind the couple of megawatts needed to charge a 600kW battery in 1/3rd of an hour. 2 MW is enough to comfortably power ~100 homes. Have a fleet of these on charge and you’re drawing the same amount of power as a small town.


Ok it occurs to me that people use this like they use a spellinng/grammar checker in a word processor.
Spellcheck:
LLM coding:
Regardless of other opinions of it, they see it as a tool that helps take the effort out of getting ideas into reality.
Edit: Oh wait, this is c/programming. Fuck. Ok, give me 5 minutes for me to sharpen my pitchfork and come up with something that matches the groupthink, I’ll be right back.


Then they wait.
Do you understand that your position is just like saying, but what if there’s something in the hospital that the wheel based ambulance doesn’t have!!
There are already “lightweight” critical care responders in small cars and motorbikes and such. Just a more agile mode of transport for those folk.


“Pulse can cover 2,800 square miles in under eight minutes and land on rocky terrain”
30 x 30 x 3.14 = about 2800.
So it’s got a 30 mile radius, in 8 minutes, that’s 225 mph.
So it’s pretty speedy, but it’s range is limited. I am assuming that it also has enough juice to be able to fly back.


If you’re including a link to your tool, you can add one sentence at the end:
This keeps the post focused on discussion and feedback rather than promotion, which is generally better received in developer communities.-
At least proofread your post and remove the LLM comments first, because it surely won’t be better received in developer communities at the moment.
Most businesses can organise to withold more tax for you. Talk to your payroll department, they might also have some idea of why you’re consistently behind in your tax obligations.


CXMT will sell the chips to memory manufacturers in China for “domestic use only” at near cost price as directed by the CCP.
Those manufacturers will construct consumer ram modules and sell them locally, and there will be grey market exports to other countries for ridiculously low prices compared to everyone else.
This way the CCP props up domestic supply, and chips away at foreign manufacturer market share by turning a blind eye to the massive grey market export of RAM.


nationalize Micron
No, no, no, you don’t understand, that doesn’t happen in the US.
What will happen is that they’ll get a trillion dollar bailout, a yuuuuge amount of protectionary tarrifs on overseas competitors and then some other company will scoop them up with no obligations.
And then - and this is very important - maximum profit will be extracted from consumers, who end up being measurably worse off.


Complains about incomprehensible short commands in legacy shells.
Builds own shell with a new set of incomprehensible short commands, minus the hookers and blackjack of existing shells.
(Insert xkcd standards comic here)
the ticking was too damned annoying.
If you still have the clock you can get a replacement “sweep” movement instead of the more common “step” movement.
You can buy them online from all sorts of places for ~15 dollars, e.g. clockshop.
I’m quite sick of my browsers auto-updating and adding stuff I don’t need.
I’m pretty much at the point where I’m going to turn browser updates off. It’s perfectly functional for me as is, and if I ever hear of some crippling browser security issue I’ll consider its impact myself before thinking about updating.


Wow, Australia really fell for the whole “Electric Motors” leftist conspiracy didn’t they?
Australians aren’t stupid. If EVs and hybrids have reached a price/performance/practicality point where it makes sense to jump to them, then they will.
They don’t give a crap about people who carry on about woke leftist conspiracy agendas or whatever, especially when the bulk of those people come from the country that thought that crippling oil production in the Middle East was a good idea.


I did some work for a company that owned a /16 public IP range and used it on their internal network. I had to put a safety rated control system on it that ran mining machines that weighed 60 tons and cost a couple of million bucks each.
They gave me a subnet range for the system that was clearly non-private and I was like, “ummmmm, is that on the Internet?”
Apparently it wasn’t routed to the rest of the Internet but it always felt like it was one misconfigured router away from disaster.


That’s a great post , except for the tiny, tiny, fact that boomers make up less than 20 percent of the population in all developed countries.
All your effort in getting on their radar and pandering to their particular needs nets you a quarter of that percentage, at best.
And good luck getting them off Facebook.
Good for you, you’re really rocking this whole internets thing! 👍
Meanwhile, if you’re not willing or interested enough to put in ONE (1) sentence in your post describing it, then I consider your contribution to Lemmy to be marginal at best.
Chucking a comment on your post with a one-sentence summary of what the video is about would go a long way towards stopping these kinds of grumbles.
All I’ve got to go on at the moment is the usual YouTube clickbait thumbnail with obligatory reaction face and let’s face it, that’s not much incentive to click through.


If it were a human doing it.
LLMs didn’t spring forth fully-formed out of the void, there are actual companies and actual people responsible for their construction, and thus, responsible for their output.
Just because current norms seem to handwave that responsibility away doesn’t mean that they are not responsible.
We all laugh about LLMs recommending a cup of glue being added to your pizza toppings. But there are increasing cases of considerable harm occuring from LLM “advice”, and no amount of “LLMs might give inaccurate answers” fine print attached to results is going to save big corps if something sizeable happens and multiple deaths occur.
This is just gross incompetence on OpenAI’s part. It took days for the LLM’s to do what they did. Meanwhile, nobody’s looking at network traffic or wonder what the LLM’s are doing sucking down a bunch of tokens.
