Nowhere did I say it's never going to happen. These things take time to evolve. I even talked about the market forces and what's currently plausible.

There's always big companies that get disrupted because they kill good will. That's the start to something. It takes more than 1 move. Will NVIDIA make this mistake over time? Likely.

Will it be AMD and Tensorflow support that does it? Not by a long shot. It will be by a series of players providing the right incentives. My response (nor any response to this) should not be treated as binary. Ultimately in order for a company to be "disrupted" you need to actually analyze and exploit the market forces involved here. just writing this off as "open ecosystem is all we need" is dangerous.
In this era of ridiculously low voter participation, I don’t see the elections as being a great source of legitimacy.

Housing is even worse. Many of the people I interact with are immigrants, so they are blamed for the high prices, but they are unable to vote to fix it.

It’s the old homeowners who organize and produce fractionally higher voter turnouts, that turn elections their way. Especially local elections, that have the most impact on land use policy. A minority harm the majority because they vote more.

The good news is that YIMBYs are now organizing, too.[0] You can even make tax-deductible donations to bring lawsuits against local governments that violate state law by refusing to allow housing.[1]

I already put a healthy amount into my 401(k), my employer matches $1.20 for every $1 up to 6% of my wages plus I usually get another 4% of my salary put in every April as a profit sharing bonus. I could put more in, but I’m trying to pay off debt and save for a house so that takes priority - even then I may invest in my brokerage account first to have semi-liquid assets available if something major happens and I need access to more money than I have in savings while not locking everything up in low APY hell.
Much respect to NVIDIA and their software team but the situation is changing. PlaidML is like cuDNN for every GPU. Fully open source, faster in many cases than TF+cuDNN on NVIDIA, beats vendor tools on other architectures, Linux/Mac/Win. Supports Keras currently but more frameworks are not difficult (patches welcome).
>Or that guy found a unique solution to his own problem that will probably not be reproducible or scale.

Yes, I found my solution. And what I think it means is that others can find theirs. Is that impossible? Or to lower the bar, is it even unreasonable?

I was at a point where I felt like nothing was going to change, and I simply had to believe other people saying "things can change" and "don't give up". And I want to pass this on to others, that they can.

In general I'd prefer small businesses rather than startups with dreams of going very large dominate in spaces like this.

As is it's already fairly expensive for new players to get a legal foothold. Regulating it to the point that it requires the type of capital that startup people can get raise is gonna shut out a lot of people.
well ... then they will have fewer people

I don't think that part is true -- they'll still have more people, but those people will be doubling (or tripling) up in single family homes or (often illegal) in-law units, causing parking, traffic, infrastructure and other problems of increasing density in neighborhoods that were not designed for it.

I see that in a neighborhood I pass through on my way to work -- cars parked on sidewalks and front yards, and long lines of traffic at the only traffic light that leads out of the neighborhood.

The reason prices are so high in the area you live is that so few people want to leave, so the available housing is a tiny percentage of the total housing that is being bid on, compounded by the fact that you can rent out your house for 4x you’re mortgage, so why sell? Adding more housing alleviates that pressure significantly.

It’s been years and next to nothing has been built in the vast majority of the Bay Area - housing has decreased in some parts. It’s not a rapid development concern, it’s a no development concern.

Is it too much to ask to have an ideal place to live at a price strictly enforced to be well below its market value but only if you happen to live there already?
I've been wondering if this is actually a problem of over-regulation. When there are more and more regulations at the national, state, city, and neighborhood level, at some point, the little-guy landlords start to give up, out of fear that they'll never be able to comply with everything and ensure that they never get sued or fined. Maybe only the big companies, with the budgets to hire lots of lawyers and clerks to handle everything, and some political connections to smooth over any mistakes, are willing to touch real estate in this market. Now maybe these big companies don't care so much about a few months or years of being vacant, as long as the long-term numbers look good.

I'm not completely sure how big of a problem that is. I have a feeling there is a larger trend of the big companies squeezing out the little guys more and more. I don't think over-regulation is the whole picture, but I'm pretty sure it's at least a small part, and maybe a pretty big one. That makes it feel rather odd that the usual recommended solution is yet more regulations. One more set of regulations that the big companies will find a way to document their way around or use political pull to get around, while the little guy can't keep up with it all or document compliance with everything, and gets their business destroyed if they mess up.

I kind of hope somebody proves me wrong actually, since this makes me a little depressed about the future.

$1,355,610,000,000 of consumer spending is missing from the demand side of USA spending, and that should be kept in mind whenever you read an article about retail going through hell. The big boom in retail in the mid-20th century was thanks a strong middle class. Conversely, the collapse of income of the middle quintiles of income must lead to a contraction of retail. Consider these charts:

Table H-2. Share of Aggregate Income Received by Each Fifth and Top 5 Percent of Households

https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-p...

Percent of income for the 3 middle quintiles in 1970:

10.8

17.4

24.5

total: 52.7%

In 2016:

8.3

14.2

22.9

total: 45.4%

The difference: 7.3%

The GDP of the USA in 2016:

18.57 trillion

https://www.google.com/search?q=usa+gdp+2016&oq=usa+gdp+2016...

So if the middle classes still had the same share of national income as they had in 1970, they would have an additional $1,355,610,000,000 to spend or save.

Retail spending in the USA in 2016 was around $5 trillion:

https://www.emarketer.com/Article/US-Retail-Sales-Near-5-Tri...

Hold the spend/save ratio constant and we can say that retail spending would be 27% higher in 2016, if the middle quintiles still had the same percentage of national income as they had in 1970.

You can make some adjustments for the increased spending in the top quintile, but most of the income has gone to the top 1% and most of that goes to savings rather than spending.

Obviously, all of our current stories about retail would be different if the middle classes still had the same percentage of national income that they had in 1970.

And please, please, please note, Amazon only had $131 billion in sales during 2016. It's impact is very small compared to that missing $1,355 trillion.
Lots of people "raid" it by going to cash in the down-turns in the market and buying in the hyped peaks losing over 50% in the cycle.
The law is not so obtuse. If otherwise enforceable, the inability to draw an exact line where something starts being a datacenter will not void a contract. The vast majority of things are on either side of that line.
I think the card itself takes more power and wears out faster compared to the data center versions. Is this true in practice?
And then you have to remove the search for "f" from your history or else it will try to autocomplete it in the future. I hate that! Happens to me all the time.
I used to have this opinion so I know where you’re coming from. I live in Mt View and I bought a condo about ten years ago. Since then traffic has been getting worse, and they put in some fairly ugly developments.

A few things changed my mind. First, many people I knew personally had to move out of the area because of the cost of housing. It sucks to have to uproot your life due to rising housing cost you can’t keep up with.

Second I came to realize that long term, the area either has to accommodate the inflow, or decline. The Bay Area is full of first and second generation immigrants and people who care from around the country to live her. They built SV and the companies we love/work at. If it’s too expensive for them they will stop coming, and in thirty years we’ll be in a retirement community (albeit a low density one...)

So now I say, build build build. It might bring traffic but that’s a small price to pay for the long term health of the area. My bigger concern now, and what I think cities should focus on, is how to build lots of housing while still maintaining high quality of life for everyone.

Edit: also remember that in California, you are really protected/subsidized if you are a home owner. Your property value will increase with no change in property tax due to Prop 13. Density and people moving in will generally drive up property values which will benefit you financially.
The Alexa one is confusing. Alexa asks for a PIN when you buy something. Maybe the little girl knew the PIN, but the newsreader's voice would not have accidentally triggered any actual purchases.
This philosophy has become popular but is misguided. What people are really concerned about is blame.

The false logic goes like this: if I could improve my situation then I have been doing something wrong and therefore I am a bad person. But, calling me a bad person because I have a problem is counterproductive and insensitive so there must not be anything I can do. Or: possibility of improvement leads to blame/guilt. Blame/guilt are bad therefore improvement must be impossible.

This circular logic is flawed because it assumes that we start out life with all the information we need to live well. Life is a learning process and we can improve ourselves with out blaming our past or present selves for not knowing better.
> I don't think you could 'think yourself' into a different personality, because that would be unadaptive for survival

Rigid world views, reactions and motivational structures are maladaptive in human society because they leave their hosts vulnerable to manipulation by more flexible people.
That’s not how contract interpretation works. The vast majority of things are clearly datacenters or clearly not datacenters. Assuming the contract is enforceable for other reasons, if you use it in something that is clearly understood to be a datacenter, you would be in breach.

Do you really think a judge would be swayed by your little word game?
> Producing the report is tied to funding. If they don’t produce the report, then the city is ineligible for certain housing and infrastructure funds from the state or federal governments, or it gets fewer points in its applications for funds.

That is why I wrote that a report costing $2.00 should have been created. Spending $50,000 on such a report is foolish and an utter waste that occurs when people don't value taxpayer money and don't consider why their public employment position exists.
The problem isn't housing. The problem is transportation and infrastructure. People need to work for a living. They also don't want to spend a significant amount of time commuting to said work. California's transportation, road, and highway infrastructure is completely and utterly inadequate for the population in the SF and LA areas. This forces people into living situations that are far from ideal and creates a fight over housing.

Create multiple ways for people to commute from 30 miles away in 30 minutes and housing will be much less of a problem with people having many more options.

Proof: If people could instantly teleport between work and home no matter how far apart they are, do you really think they would still cram into SF Bay Area or LA housing? Hell no. Housing is the symptom of poor transportation infrastructure.

Our economy is already highly planned.

Redeveloping a low density property for higher density is fine, except part of what makes that new property attractive is the neighborhood it was built in. Which in our hypothetical, is low density and maybe nice.

Then in the process of redeveloping, as more and more properties are redeveloped, the old character is lost to everybody- the people who lived there as well as the new people who moved there for that character!

It's not a new conundrum- what do you do about people moving to a community for it's desirable character, but killing that character in the process? It hurts everyone involved.

HN frequently likes to take the position that the parcel you bought is yours, but if your neighbor wants to bootstrap a red light district you just have to deal. But, all over the country we have HOA's and zoning and so forth. Turns out, people want to come together and live in a community. Nobody particularly likes living in a free-for-all, so mutual agreements were set up to ensure the neighborhood you bought into doesn't turn into something totally different overnight.

Probably not. But not everybody who has a hard drug addiction will do this either. In fact I would bet it's a very small minority of drug users would do this.

But I also know that some people will steal from their families and commit crimes and don't do any drugs at all. So maybe not a fair comparison?
My point is that you’re mistaken in saying above that something is a datacenter only if you call it such. Words must have meanings if we are to have agreements.

Whether this particularly contract will result in a court case is beside the point. And I wouldn’t be so sure it wouldn’t. Nvidia’s lawyers might have something to say if you start a business reselling GPU time for ML tasks and run it off thousands of GeForce cards with these drivers. And if they don’t get what they want, they would have good reason to go to court to defend their market segmentation strategy.

You and your parent comment are describing a kind of hedge, not a material investment. That’s fine but did not seem to be what my parent was implying. Funds may just as well choose to maintain several points in cash (also not a productive asset).

The analysis presented is a bit disingenuous. If you put money into every thing that could pop 400x, you’d have no money. Pension funds in particular need to be conservative and even if they’re doing “risky” things like venture capital for example, they would want late stage funds — lower returns, lower risk.

You know pension funds that spend a material portion of their holdings speculating on currencies? I’m skeptical. Currency trading is zero sum and highly risky. Pension funds may keep small amount as a hedge, but to actively speculate on currencies seems like a breach of fiduciary duty.
