Buc-EEs takes pride in doing things that [presently] require a human and then hires however many humans it takes to do a great job of it.
Tesla doesn’t have enough respect for their employees or their customers to do anything that would approach the level of execution that Buc-EEs achieves. And I say this as someone that does not share the love for Buc-EEs that many people do.
In the NW, from the lake down to the Kankakee River, there are a number of state park, national park, and private nature reserve properties that host huge numbers of them. Essentially, what you need is preserved wetlands and they will land. But yeah, that is not the kind of land farmers want to keep around.
The safest thing to do is to pull all Frito Lay products off shelves until the packaging can be redesigned to ensure that AI never confuses them for guns. It's a liability issue. THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
I searched for the Lenovo E16 and can only find a $900 version at a 3rd party seller on Amazon. With the same memory but twice the hard disk as the Apple.
Much more noticeably, however is the Intel Core Ultra 5 225U which is about half the performance as an M4.
However, the $900 MacBook is not the one with the large screen, right? That costs much more money, right? It doesn’t make sense to compare a small laptop with a large laptop. Even if they are in the same price range, consumers aren’t really choosing between the two.
There was a "movement" in the late 70s or early 80s called structured system design that basically advocated for this approach (though 100% human). You may want to pick up a book or read more about it, as it outlines approaches and things to think about when splitting things up so much.
The business model of most higher-end makes has evolved: the first customer leases the car for 3-4 years and then returns it to the dealer, who turns around and sells it to a customer with a full warranty for another 3-4 years.
So modern lux cars are actually pretty well-made and pretty reliable these days. The only catch is that they’re designed with the assumption that all maintenance will be done at the dealer and that the driver never sees a bill.
Once you exit that - do maintenance elsewhere or not under warranty, the costs become ridiculous and people start skipping necessary items. So the car breaks down and the repairs are even more ridiculous. So off to the junkyard it goes.
Stay inside the dealer+warranty bubble and you have a pretty good time, although many people will question your sanity buying an expensive extended warranty for a 12-year old car ;)
PLU codes are in a database you can freely query from your phone. The only problem is that there are so many of them. Like 15+ just for a banana. Which one Walmart uses is up to Walmart.
