Why would this be cheaper? From what I understand, they 3d print the walls, then you have to go back in and fur out and drywall all the interior walls so you can install insulation, plumbing and electrical.
So where's the savings? You are just replacing the exterior siding and finish, the rest of the house is the same as building it traditionally. Seems like this would be more expensive.

As an IT guy in the UK, that makes me laugh.
We regularly plug in servers with 1400W dual-PSUs, multiple of them, on an ordinary test bench in an ordinary workplace, no special provisions required, or a rack running off a couple of ordinary wall plugs and a PDU (which is basically just a giant extension lead).
Hell, on my workbench at the moment is some 3.8KW of servers, just plugged into the same sockets we would plug our USB chargers or laptops into.

My company did a study on phone durability and cost. The iPhone was like 30% cheaper based on failures alone. This, despite a higher up front cost.

It will save builders money.

I was thinking it was going to be show casing houses built of recycled plastic. It’s ‘printing’ concrete? This should be posted in r/gimmicks

Had to double take what sub I was in. Well put.

Indeed they were! Loved setting up a sentry at the bottom of our base with a dispenser in the hallway leading down.
Or playing as a spy on the snipers perch on 2Fort.
Or as a medic spamming infection at a spawn location infecting everyone!! Haha, guaranteed way of having others personally hunting you down.
The days of Half-Life, Unreal, Tribes, Quake, Doom, EverQuest, Asheron’s Call, Dark age of Camelot, City of Hero’s, Earth and Beyond were so much fun!

From what I have seen they price similar to normally built homes. So may be cheaper to produce than traditional but don’t know it saves buyers money yet.

Says the person who said the buyer should receive a Darwin award.
And let's say it could drive with the baby in it, why not say: anyone who buys a self-driving car should also receive a Darwin award
But, rather than checking if it was possible, you jumped straight to conclusions like it was an Olympic sport.

Oh it's cheaper. Don't know about faster.

If its not cheaper is it at least faster?

That makes it pretty useless

If the title is inaccurate, blame the person who wrote it. It's meant to convey all relevant data. Though your rudeness is not required.

it’s not about keeping it warm - it’s about keeping it at the perfect temperature for hours

Performance per watt goes up, but the increase in transistors far out paces it.

It doesn't navigate by itself when you've got a baby in it. But of course, you're incapable of reading more than a title

They do and hence why they've aimed and achieved beyond 5GHz on all cores but if they stop chasing after numbers for marketing purposes you'll likely see the efficiency improvements in power consumption like AMD or Apple (who barely hits 3.5GHz with their M1s) though also dial in the fact that they're not fabless and have their own fabrication standards in case of Intel so you can't compare with TSMC the customers of which others are.

well we're down to what 2 nanometer now? a single atom is 0.1 - 0.5 nanometers, so we're nearly down to the size of individual atoms lol. not sure what'll happen after that

Yeah, running above that 1440w 80% level consistently starts warming up wires.

let's use a simple example
you have 4 LED that is fits in car headlight but only 4 fits because they're huge. it uses 80 watts total (20w each)
next year they release new LED's that are 20% more efficient and half the size, so 16w each. but since they're half the size, you can fit twice as many now. 8 led's * 16w = 128 watts total
this is what happens with cpu's. the size of the transistor shrinks, and so does power use of each transistor. but since they're smaller, the companies pack way more of them onto the processor. if you have enough, it can end up being more power. if they kept the transistor count the same, it would use less power

Go watch the review at Hardware Unboxed before you even consider looking at this cpu at the store, a real eye opener.

Apple is walking on a tightrope for cannibalization of its own lineup. There is a reason they are ~10 years late on this.
Everyone wants an iPad with MacOS but their laptop sales would immediately tank if they did that. Their iPad lineup is extremely bloated with 6 current gen models. Apple has to keep iPad prices high enough that people will buy laptops because of a small price differential between classes higher tier iPads and laptops. It is a really delicate system that works against everyone unfortunately
