It is true. Workstation graphics cards often have ECC memory, consumer cards don't. The biggest difference in most use though is better fp64 support on workstation cards, important for CAD applications as well as some use cases with 3D animated films or special effects.
If my job, and even the entire company I work at, disappeared today, not a single soul would notice. Or they might casually notice, but their life would not be affected in any meaningful way.

The work is soul destroying, I'd love to be doing something better.

How amazing that the free market in employees would produce such a coincidental result! That the most economically efficient person would be a relative of another board member!
No surprises there. While just about every other package format out there is some variant of a tar-ball with added meta-data the RPM is a custom binary format.

I know someone did a blog or article on the RPM format internals, but damned if i can find it with a quick search. I just get a whole bunch of Fedora and Red Hat links...

I'm sure that they have a lot of people trying to work toward profitability. But it's a big company. Lots of engineers. They still have a frontend team, and those folks gotta work on something.

The problem is, "everyone knows" is not scientific reasoning. After all, everyone knows that you only use 10% of your brain, that lightning never strikes the same place twice, and that Napoleon was short. However, all these things are absolutely wrong.

So we frequently see things like this where someone takes a "commonly known" hypothesis and uses scientific data to either refute it or support it.
Also the previous Pascal Titan appears to be dropped from the 10 series webpage[1], although it's not hard to find [2]. So it looks like this replaces the old card entirely. I've not followed the consumer GPU market too closely as of late, is this normal for Nvidia? Or have they perhaps got yields up to better level?

I can totally vouch for the ease with which you can setup your deep learning AMI. I followed the instructions on the site and the scripts provided by Jeremy abstract a lot of the stuff away. Super cool work!
so, data breach means all your private data is irrevocably publicized.

What percentage of users do you think would be affected by such cases? If it's something over 0.001%, it's a huge problem for a social network.

Sites like Coinbase and Github exist because they re-centralize distributed systems — users don't trust themselves to host their own data securely.

Alternately, if this isn't a problem, why don't users simply host all their own infrastructure for existing tech problems today ?

I'm sure someone capable of living in the Mojave Desert is capable of hosting their own infrastructure - is this network simply for those people, or is it also for journalists, trans people, and HR professionals?
> From here on out, expect new hardware every couple years that will be compatible with your existing library

So, basically a computer, but limited, and a lower bar to entry.

I understand the use case for those that might not have a traditional computer or a very old one, but presumably everyone here would be better served by either shelling out an extra $100-$200 every couple years for a better video card in their laptop (if that's the only system them have), or dropping that on a discrete video card and sticking it in their current desktop?

I'm having trouble finding a case where I'm not better off buying a cheap Dell desktop and throwing a mid-range video card in there for approximately the same cost. It's a little bulkier, but I imagine Steam's Big Picture mode probably does a good job of the interface.
> Most people who work in tech – 99% – don’t want to look at the implications of what they are doing. They just want to hit their milestones and that’s it.

That's a hell of a strange line.

As far as I can see, people in tech spend way more time looking at the implications of tech work than anyone else does. (Except, perhaps, people like Coupland who are make their money from doing so.) Tech workers are responsible for much of the endless conversation on web privacy and AI risk and automation and gamification and all the rest. Which is how it should be, presumably - I assume architects spend more time looking at the implications of building design than the rest of us.

The best justification I can see is that he's just restricting a general, Stugeon's Law observation (90% of everyone don't look at implications) to one specific field.

There ought to be a name for making a true observation, but singling out one instance of it for no particular reason. It happens damned often.
hmmm. I find LINGsCARS easier to read than the site linked.
It doesn't have to be. I have my blog using Pelican, no comments, no pingbacks, nothing. I write about stuff that interests me because I feel to. If someone finds one of my articles and they find it interesting, good for them. If they don't, good for them too.
Sorry for that confusion. I quite understood and took it as a "collective thought", for lack of better words. I've heard the excuse from folks quite often and always thought it was a bit ridiculous, especially with the sideline, "but it isn't good to drink alone!". My personal solution was better public transport.

Sure, we'll make sure to get the docs done in the near future, keep in mind, while Blue Ocean is 1.0 the visual editor isn't quite there yet.

There are a few major things we need to get done with the visual editor before it could be called 1.0; the backlog in the Jenkins JIRA has much of the plan laid out, but not all of the design done to see.

Right now, the visual editor allows editing _declarative_ pipelines and only allows saving and loading from Github. Support will, of course, be added for the rest of the branch sources but that wasn't ready for the 1.0 Blue Ocean release.

In order to use it today, you'll need to set up a Github repository as a branch source and you'll get edit buttons on the branches tab as well as top of the run details.
You're not missing anything. If this console launch is anything like the previous generations the hardware will be an amazing bargain when it comes out. Comparable to a high end gaming PC or workstation for half the cost.

The only difference is that with Apple they will be expected to make a decent profit margin on that hardware and update it with newer specs in a year or two. With consoles, they will continue selling the same hardware for 5+ years so it is okay if they start selling at a loss initially if it means more money to be made from game sales.

I think PostgreSQL makes this the clearest because it supports arrays:

GROUP BY

I'm glad we're seeing utilisation at the 66% level. That extra power is going to be mighty useful for VR. It's going to be really interesting to see what Microsoft reveal there.

I have an Xbox One and a Switch. Personally, I love this combination and Scorpio could be a great upgrade depending on the VR story. While I do miss out on some PS4 games I'd love to play, I don't have enough hours to play the games I already have.

The ideological gap between Switch and the rest of the industry is widening. No doubt the Switch is a cheaper platform to develop for (4K assets are a huge burden) but is that enough of a drawcard? Likewise, are consoles like Scorpio and PS4 Pro becoming too difficult and expensive to develop for, unless you are a AAA studio? The bar gets set so high that smaller studios will find it harder and harder to keep up. I can easily foresee a future where the Switch has an amazing selection of first party, Nintendo games and a killer catalogue of indies, whereas Xbox and PS4 own the third-party, AAA market.

First of all, monopolistic oligopolies is not a actual term used in economics, that's just political New Speak.

Its kind of funny, in economics we talk about how oligopolies will move prices up. So if all our 'real world markets' are 'monopolistic oligopolies' why are they not moving up? In the majority of markets and globally speaking this simply is not the case.

Medical market in the US right now is a 80 year shit-show of epic proportion on all levels of government. In the markets that are related but far less controlled like different kind of eye surgery or all kind of plastic surgery we simply don't see the same pattern, in fact, there prices are falling.

P.S:

Also the term 'Late Capitalist' sound like you not only believe that history moves in stages, but also that you know when one stage will end.
Follow the money. The notion that databases have failed the web was put to Mike Stonebraker of Ingres fame at a seminar I attended back in the late 1990s. The actual question was this:
"Why aren't database vendors building object oriented databases for the web?"

Object oriented databases store binary objects as opposed to object-relational databases Mike pioneered with Postgres. The plan was for CORBA, common object request broker architecture, to shuffle versioned objects around the web and object oriented databases would store binary code objects.

Mike's answer? "Because the money is in transaction processing. Banks pay millions of dollars for transaciton systems. Transactions are the meat-and-potatoes of database sales."

In some sense database companies are wise for ignoring the web. Web companies are now hell bent on "move fast and break things." A transaction database is the antithesis of move fast and break. Transactions move deliberately with consistency. Durability says I can unplug my database at any time and bring it back up. This is the opposite mind set of move fast and break things.

Here in the valley whole QA departments are being disbanded in favor of LEAN and move fast and break things. All of this is antithetical to the database world of transaction processing.

At they say: you get what you pay for. What the enterprise companies are paying for is exactly what is being delivered. Open Source fits the every changing, move fast and break things of the web world.

To whit, you might see database vendors move into the web space some day if in fact companies are willing to pay millions of dollars for them.
Although SQL Server vNext (14.x) will get string_agg: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt790580.aspx

In the latest version of the SQL standard (SQL:2016) the LISTAGG function was added for this purpose. I find it "disturbing" that the next SQL Server release gets a function for this, but the new function doesn't follow the new standard.

Even worse: the name "string_agg" was apperently borrowed from PostgreSQL. But if you think that SQL Server will stick to the syntax of PostgreSQL's string_agg — nope. They use the same function name, but a different syntax.

Microsoft double fail, I'd say.

I've just written an article about LISTAGG, btw: http://modern-sql.com/feature/listagg
It is though, here's someone else saying essentially the same thing: https://superuser.com/questions/690388/why-do-workstation-gr....

Drivers that prioritize accuracy, and ECC ram fall well within the realm of "lower threshold for error", and price discrimination is covered by my parenthetical.

That said, the reason that custom SoCs are often less expensive than mass market cards is just because they have fewer things on them. If you don't need an FPU (which you obviously do here, but as an example), you can leave it off, which saves silicon and saves money. General purpose cards needs general purpose things, but a custom chip can often leave out certain components, although I don't know which ones those might be in this case.
Good fucking luck with that. Comcast has lots of customers for its wired services only because it exists as a monopoly or duopoly in the markets it serves. Wireless is way more competitive.
Knowing "MVNO" is almost tangential to the OP's main point.

Replacing "MVNO" with "cell service provider," and perhaps adding "that piggybacks off existing infrastructure," would've helped in keeping focus on the main point.

Having to take away your focus from the discussion is only an impediment in this situation.
Yep, with the way things are going now, you can expect consumer protections to disappear and for companies like BofA to be able to steal your money left and right. (this isn't sarcasm, sadly)
But that loan officer brings their own bias to the scenario. They could just as easily say the Johnson's are unreliable because they are black. It wasn't that long ago that saying that was institutionalized and I still suspect it occurs. An algorithm is colorblind. This isn't to say an algorithm is necessarily good, but that humans aren't either. One of the reasons bureaucratic red tape exists is as an effort to overcome individual judgement in favor of consistent and fair judgement. So though there's human intervention or policy considerations that need to occur in this situation due to massive abuses and obvious unfairness, I don't think it damns the mathematical model as a concept.
Hence, as your parent comment said, you've shifted complexity into sort.
By making that platform more accessible to millions of potential users. Their main source of revenue are Ad's so anything to increase a user count would seem like a good direction to go in.
They're hoping to offload most of the data to xfinitywifi access points that run off of the Comcast modem-router combos in people's homes and businesses.

Not unlike Google Fi, which also shifts between Wi-Fi and LTE for the "best" signal.
And then we look at the chairman of the committee, Jeb Hensarling, when the report was released:

>A vocal critic of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), he has received $183,400 from the payday lending industry since the beginning of 2013 (directly and through his political action committee), according to a report from the nonprofit Americans for Financial Reform.

Why does Wikipedia mention his bribes from the payday lending industry? Because the CFPB is trying to make payday lenders not knowingly put their customers in inescapable debt[2,3].

You can also use the same keypair on multiple devices. This however results in another problem: You could post content from both devices simultaneously. But the underlying protocol requires each message to refer to the previous message by the same identity. So if two different devices post a message without having received the message of the other one, one of the messages is considered invalid.
Of course this is totally fine. I'm responding to the comment that it is disappointing that this wasn't an ISP.

hmm. I think people expect their friends to do some posting about their life or interests on (our current) social networks - so they implicitly have permission to do so. We don't expect our friends to immediately start talking about themselves in-person, but I do think we expect our friends to talk about themselves and what's going on in their lives - it would be pretty shallow friendships if we only talked about the weather or the news headlines.

Most good conversationalists are good at it because they explicitly draw the other person into talking about themselves and their interests. Whether things become narcissistic is more a factor of personality I think. Perhaps its more than that, though. A good conversationalist would steer the conversation to more interesting content - ie why he person is passionate about their hobby rather than just talking about their accomplishments. Perhaps we need to think about social network features that model what good conversationalists do? Not sure what that looks like though.

[edit for typo]
Perhaps the word "barbaric" is a bit much, but there is certainly an element of truth to what he's saying about the office being obsolete; at least in some professions.

For example, I am a software engineer, and there is literally no reason whatsoever for me to go into an office everyday. None. I am more productive when I'm remote, and working where, how, and when works best for me. I also have no emotional need for social camaraderie in the workplace, which some people do. My family meets my emotional needs, so I don't need social constructs foisted upon me by my employer. Being social for the sake of being social drains the life out of me and makes me less productive. I've worked in offices and I've worked remotely for almost 30 years, and remote work, at least for me, has proven time and again to work best.

While "barbaric" may be a hyperbolic choice of words, when describing the 9-to-5 grind, I do have to say that the reasons typically given for forcing engineers to work in a modern, open-office environments (e.g. "We need to collaborate") are shallow at best. These environments have been proven to cause more problems than they solve, so in this case, I'll have to side with Coupland, in spite of his embellishments. The collaboration excuse is especially annoying when we still use Slack to communicate, even when we are sitting two feet from each other.

I love that you kept the tried and true Box2D API as that'll make porting what I'm working on much easier.

Great journalism by the students. What I fear just as much as unaccredited "diploma mill" universities are the accredited ones that hand out education degrees just as easily. It seems like anyone can pay for an education masters (or PhD) these days.

So if I am reading this right, LSD reduced fearful reactions. I initially mis-read it as a correlation between LSD and fear.

Part of the reason psychedelics is kept away from treatment is because of those occasional bad reactions. You never know who might get a bad trip and for what reason. I wish psychedelics were researched without the baggage of "possible treatment". This would allow for the study for it's own sake, imho.

>I feel it's a lot easier to make SpaceX's rockets safer than ULA's rockets cheaper and reusable.

The thing is that safety is cultural, not technical. It means that everyone realizes their limits, and has a conservative streak in them (if it ain't broken, don't fix it, or so least test it like crazy before putting a customers multi-million dollar payload on it). SpaceX, on the other hand, is all about moving fast and iterating fast.

It's not just Republicans, it's all the Christians they're in league with, and who vote for them. The philosophy you describe is modern Christian theology. It's called "Prosperity Doctrine", and basically boils down to "God rewards those he loves the most", so rich people are better people than the rest of us because obviously God loves them more and has bestowed gifts of wealth upon them. Go into any American megachurch these days and this is what they're preaching. It dovetails very nicely with Republican trickle-down economics.

None of the "unlimited" plans are actually unlimited. They just use soft caps where you're throttled to 2G speeds after you exceed your allotment, rather than charging you overages. Some carriers are starting to do this for all their plans, so "unlimited" is now just becoming a weird and misleading term for one particular data cap. At least on AT&T, the "unlimited" plan isn't even the one with the largest cap, so it's particularly bizarre.

No doubt Comcast's "unlimited" offering will be similar. You may not get charged overages, but good luck watching more than a few movies per month with it.
