Subway trains are designed to get people on and off the train as quickly as possible, with many doors and often platforms designed for quick transfers. Additionally, subways are designed for short rides, often with high stand/sit ratios.
Double decker trains are designed for long distance trips and to fit as many chairs on the train for a given train length, at the cost of number of doors and time loading/unloading passengers.
worth asking RMtransit on Mastodon, though.

I can’t wait for another billion dollar company invading our cities with dumbass murder boxes.

Don’t conservatives resent democrats either way? They have so much of an advantage through the EC that the democrats have to go liberal+progressive big tent, but still they complain/fear the amount of non-whites and atheists in big cities.
Also don’t black americans + lgbt also resent their underrepresentation? Why should rural white populations get to speak over them? Just because historically that’s been the case and we don’t want to hurt their feelings?

“Online political pundit calls politician and discusses labor politics and economic policy, presumably offering investment in return for subsidies or other kickbacks”
“not about politics btw”
Like cool that Musk didn’t start with the conspiracy theories or go full antisemite again, but I really hope that’s not what people consider politics these days.
The eye has since expanded and the winds have spread out more, I believe.
SSDs last longer than hard drives in most situations.
What do you mean poor speeds under load?
64TB ssds are fairly common in the enterprise market now, I don’t think they were 6 years ago. It’s possible we’ll see 128TB SSDs become fairly common on servers in a few years.
It’s looking like 2029 will be the turning point. Right now, we are on the verge of having 16tb m.2s on the market, and by 2029 SSDs will be around $10-15/TB like HDDs are now.
In 2029, if semiconductor trends continue, it is likely that we will have 16TB SSDs for ~$200 and 32TB SSDs for ~$500; Cheaper than the $320 we’re paying for 20TB HDDs right now.

The HDD industry doesn’t seem like it will improve at the same rate. It is likely that the SSD market will have better $/TB than the HDD market in 2029, unless hard drives make some massive breakthrough before then. The survival of the HDD industry past the next 5 years is basically riding on Seagate’s ability to successfully release HAMR technology.
The entertainment system might run something windows based, but there are dozens of microcontrollers that do run linux.
Sometes the prices go up, but they steadily go down over time.
This chart is really good for seeing storage prices
Really interesting. Is there a source for the pictures and data to share with friends?
Most cars already run on Linux
a petabye of ssds is probably cheaper than a petabye of hdds when you account for rack costs, electricity costs, and maintenance.
Hard drive density has stagnated. There haven’t been any major technology breakthroughs since 750GB PMR drives came out in 2006. Most of the capacity improvements since then have come from minor materials improvements and stacking increasing amounts of platters per drive, which has reached its limit. The best drives we have, 24tb, have 10 platters, when drives in the 2000’s only had 1-4 platters.
Meanwhile, semiconductors have been releasing new manufacturing processes every few years and haven’t stopped.
Moore’s Law somewhat held for hard drives up until 2010, but since then it has only been growing at a quarter of the rate.
Right now there are only 24TB HDDs, with 28TB enterprise options available with SMR. The big breakthrough maybe coming next year is HAMR, which would allow for 30tb drives. Meanwhile, 60TB 2.5"/e3.s SSDs are now pretty common in the enterprise space, with some niche 100TB ssds also available in that form factor.
I think if HAMR doesn’t catch on fast enough, SSDs will start to outcompete HDDs on price per terabyte. We will likely see 16TB M.2 Ssds very soon. Street prices for m.2 drives are currently $45/TB compared to $14/TB for HDDs. Only a 3:1 advantage, or less than 4 years in Moore’s Law terms.
Many enterprise customers have already switched over to SSDs after considering speed, density, and power, so if HDDs don’t keep up on price, there won’t be any reason to choose them over SSDs.

CNN with a misleading headline 🤔
Openshift is also a good competitor product if you’re interested in containers.
Nixos’ weakness is definitely it’s documentation. There’s often configuration snippets you can copy and paste, though. If you go with NixOS, make sure to come back with questions, the community is very helpful.
Yeah researchers don’t always agree on things. Definitely a question up his alley though, since I think he’s done a video with a similar theme.
Actually, I just watched the new RMtransit video on YouTube, and he shows that the RER A in Paris runs double Deckers in tunnels through the center. It’s more of a commuter train, but it’s very close to a subway, and the first I’ve seen of urban commuter trains like that with double decker rolling stock.
