Probably only be able to fit 2 similar cards in a Mac Pro with the needed cooling. But that could seriously add up total specs with how integrated their chips are.
Space-wise, the Mac Pro can fit 4 double-slot cards (which fits all 3 models). Hardware-wise, the most immediate problem would be powering another 230-1400w of power. The other big issue would be bandwidth - the AX800 is a PCIe 5.0 card, and the Mac Pro chassis only supports PCIe 3.0 busses last I checked.
Frankly, I wouldn't bet on miraculous results adding Nvidia cards to Apple silicon anyways. Apple's compute hardware focuses very hard on saturating on-chip resources with bandwith, while providing comparatively small IO bandwidth. It's not a bad strategy for mobile hardware, but it can struggle to keep up with bespoke distributed systems.
I highly recommend the Dell UltraSharp U4919, of which I currently have four (two at home and two at work). Almost my entire department switch to them as soon as they came out.
My other ultra-wide is an ASUS PG348Q. It's crazy how that monitor felt huge when I got it, but it just seems tiny now.
I really love the concept of NEVs but the speed is just a bit too limited to be useful for me. Almost every place I go regularly (work, grocery store, etc.) requires that I briefly travel on a 45/55 MPH speed limit roads where I think the speed differential would cause issues. It's the same reason I generally avoid riding a bike.
It would probably cost more, but I'd something like an electric Suzuki X90 or Samurai with ~50 miles of range and a max speed limit of 55. Pre-pandemic my plan was to pick up a used Nissan Leaf with depleted range for a bargain and use that for all of my local driving.
I get it’s the practical answer given the state of how things are, but wanting to change the car instead of the infrastructure that forces the use of the car betrays a lack of imagination for how things could be.
I own a car, I’m not a “destroy all cars” guy. I just don’t want it to be the only option. The American suburban experiment has resulted in the least active, the least healthy, the most indebted, the most isolated, and the loneliest generation. Yes, of course there’s many other factors. But when you look at the studies of where people know the fewest neighbors by name, it’s in the little boxes on the hillside. Sprawl ain’t helping.
I get it, we all want plentiful cheap land after we’re done living with roommates. I do too. But there’s gotta be a better way than strip malls nestled between HOA-gated subdivisions, connected only by 45mph 6-lane stroads. There’s gotta be a way to build human-centric. Let’s talk about what the next suburban experiment will look like instead of perpetually adding more lanes, always straining to connect our increasingly disconnected subdivisions.
Walkable and bikable space tends to be urban, with high(er) density. Else you can't walk or bike to enough places for walking and biking to matter.
Either this, or a thick network of trains and buses in suburbia, which is hard and expensive to build, and is also noisy. Plentiful suburban trains mostly exist where they were built 100-150 years ago, and are seen as normal for a long time.
I live in Huddinge, Sweden, a suburban part of Stockholm some 15 km away from the city center.
I have many busses and a commuter train line as options to move around, I can bike as well given the many bike lanes connecting all the way from the city to even further away suburban areas.
It's not noisy at all, I hear the deers eating grass in my garden while the train station is some 800 meters away. Busses pass by the avenue a block away from the house and I never hear them.
Not sure what you'd consider noisy but I don't really experience that and have plenty of ways to go around without a car.
Worth considering in many places (especially due to the additional hassle of having a car in some cities) but not viable in others, at least without considerable hardship.
There are no universal solutions... Car ownership shouldn't be considered as the default option, either. I tend to think people overestimate the 'hardship' by not fully considering options to use money to overcome them. Also, daily cycling - even if not strenuous - has excellent health benefits.
For example, you can get a really nice cargo bike for a fraction of the yearly savings of not owning a car, which will last for decades and solves the 'hardship' of handling groceries. This won't work in every case (recall, no universal solutions), but it significantly shifts the decision boundaries.
My fleet consists of a 'fast' sporty bike, a folding bike (for day to day, connecting with transit, taking on train trips, etc), and an old xtra-cycle cargo bike. The bikes were built/bought 15, 5 and 12 years ago, respectively; basically free once amortized. And since I'm saving ~$5000/year by avoiding car ownership, I just try not to feel shy about using 'expensive' one off transit solutions when it's substantially more convenient.
I used to use this feature all the time when I was in school. When I lived in the dorms they limited our external connection speed to 8Mbps but all of the department servers I had access to weren't limited (by anything other than the school's connection speed and dated network infrastructure), so if I routed my connection through one of them I could get speeds closer to 100Mbps. It also came in handy if I needed to use sketchy wifi at a motel or something.
I did this, too, but to circumvent the school's internet filters. I routed it through my home internet, which was excruciatingly slow but better than nothing.
The difference is that cocaine use is only really harmful to the user whereas murder obviously involves a third party.
You also have to consider the impact of the policies themselves. Cocaine prohibition may reduce cocaine addiction but it also creates legal issues for cocaine users that are often more harmful than the drug itself in addition to creating the space for a criminal blackmarket to exist and thrive. On the other hand, murder prohibition reduces the number of murders and is generally considered to be worthwhile.
> The difference is that cocaine use is only really harmful to the user
Incorrect, it harms the families of addicts and the victims of crimes perpetrated to buy more cocaine, to name a couple externalities of cocaine use. This goes for alcohol, heroin, etc. I've been an addict and seen the damage that my use caused to others.
That being said, I think cocaine/heroin/meth should be legal and cheap, with drug counseling intake services offered at places that sell them.
You sure? I just did a quick search for EE salaries in London[1] compared to Detroit[2] (the closest large city to me) and Detroit comes out ahead by a lot. And I'm sure rent is cheaper.
However, I agree that salaries are ridiculous in some cities. I'd love to give living in NYC or LA a shot, but the salaries I see for EE jobs are marginally more than what I make in the middle of nowhere.
You're right. Detroit is higher than I expected. I guess low GBP rates make a difference, when I was in London 1 GBP = 2 USD. (Rent in London is definitely not cheaper.) London isn't a great place for EE. Software in Banks had/has crazy demand.
The time scales it operates in are usually quite a bit larger than systems that would typically be discussed here, but I don't see how "online" would be a descriptor than "real-time".
And Isle Royale which is currently closed for the winter. The park is free to enter two days a season but that wouldn't include the $136 ferry ticket (unless you take your own boat).
> Siskiwit Lake is the largest lake on the island. ... Siskiwit Lake contains several islands, including Ryan Island, the largest, which contains Moose Flats, a seasonal pond, which contains Moose Boulder. When Moose Flats is a pond, Moose Boulder becomes the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest lake in the world.
