skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
> 1070 Ti can do at least 50fps at 4K maximum quality in all tested games [1]

Looking at the data in the link you provided, this does not seem to be the case.

26.3 @ Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
34.3 @ Grand Theft Auto V
36.8 @ Ghost Recon Wildlands
42.5 @ Dawn of War III
44.0 @ Total War: Warhammer
53.3 @ Battlefield 1
56.0 @ F1 2016
56.9 @ Ashes of the Singularity
63.9 @ DOOM

The tested 9 games result in a median of 44.0 fps, average of 46.0 fps. Certainly well below at least 50fps.

> a dual 1070 Ti workstation should be able to do 4K 120hz just fine

As someone with experience running tri-crossfire in the past, a 2.4x improvement claim from SLI seems suspect. Let's look at some data of what actually happens with 1070 Ti SLI. [2]

1.39x @ Middle-Earth: Shadow of War
1.66x @ Ghost Recon Wildlands
1.67x @ Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
1.73x @ Battlefield 1
1.86x @ Destiny 2
1.90x @ Grand Theft Auto V
1.91x @ Rise Of The Tomb Raider
1.95x @ Sniper Elite 4

The tested 8 games result in a median of 1.80x fps, average of 1.76x fps. Definitely less than 2.4x.

> a quad GPU setup is more reasonable

Unfortunately the scaling factor plummets fast after the 2nd card. Three or four cards usually means you're well in the realm of diminishing returns.

What's more, SLI/CrossFire have frame pacing issues. The resulting microstutter is annoying on a regular screen, but even more harmful in VR.

Then there's also the problem that some rendering techniques are not compatible with SLI/CrossFire, and thus some games are not. GPU driver support actually adding SLI/CrossFire support comes several months after the release of the game as standard practice.

To make matters worse, everything GPU related is just the beginning of one's problems when it comes to really high frame rates. Computing animations, physics, game rule logic at 120Hz+ also demands real good CPU and RAM. A good widely deployed example of this is the Xbox One X. Although it has a powerful GPU it still delivers frame rates as low as 10 in CPU-heavy games like PUBG. Most games have to target 30, and 60 is available only to a select few.

But what procedure are you imagining, exactly? Grilling her until she confesses to something? There was no indication of any crime, just a tragic accident.
The problem with that advice is that is makes too much sense.

In Europe you generally have to be 18 to get your drivers license, and rigorous study is required to obtain a drivers license. 40-50 hours of driving with an instructor (depending on your talent), and a test that I as a reasonably intelligent person had to take three times to pass.

Note that this makes getting your license fairly expensive (on the order of 1500 to 2000 euro), some parents save up for this like American parents save for their childrens college, others simply work a part time job or wait until they've finished college to get the license. I feel that the way the US is structured this alone makes it infeasible to implement these requirements, you can't be 30 and not have a license in US suburbs.
That's exactly my point: you cannot abstract away details of pipeline size. You must know this to get the best performance out of your structures and algorithms. There is no way for a compiler/optimizer to look at your container implementation and say "oh, this will potentially overflow the pipeline, let's split the data structure into multiple parts and change the code to handle this new access stategy"... that would be creating entirely new code (what would stepping through a debugger look like on such code?).
The reason the column on the right (Shares Held) doesn't line up with how many he sold is that he executed his options to purchase a bunch of shares and then immediately sold them, which made up the bulk of the ones he sold in this transaction.

Bitcoin is still in the early stages

I would say that Bitcoin is entering phase 3 of its lifespan, having just "rounded the bend" of its money creation curve. 75% of the Bitcoin that will ever exist are already in circulation.

Growth of the supply has slowed dramatically. Even if lightning networks can address the issue of transaction fees (and I'm doubtful), that will not solve the deflation issue, where actually obtaining a usable amount of bitcoin will be increasingly difficult. Due to the semi-anonymous nature of wallets, it's impossible to know for sure what the wealth distribution of bitcoin looks like, but estimates I've seen suggest that the disparities look something like North Korea.

A politician (republican-ish, Scandinavia) once told me, that the whole tax-system would fall apart if people were paid their salaries in full and had to pay their taxes in cash.

No, it is exactly evidence. But, as you seem to be aware, each kind or instance of evidence should be weighed differently, i.e. stronger evidence should sway your beliefs more strongly.

People telling you things may not be particularly strong evidence, but you should still probably update your beliefs at least a little.

It is more engineering focused than other books in this area.

I hadn't put two and two together and realized that minikube would use a different Docker daemon from docker-for-mac -- that makes this built-in k8s feature a lot more useful than I'd originally thought.

If I need to run a pod with some containers that are in a GCR registry, I can just `gcloud docker pull` them and then run them, rather than having to jump through hoops to configure minikube with registry secrets. That's nice!
I am not sure where you are at but in the US and CA you can fire someone for basically any reason they want. Say he farted in a meeting and he can be fired.

This is very different in the US versus other parts of the world.

But here it is pretty easy because ANY company I am familiar with in the US would fire Damore. It is just how things work in the US. You do not write what he wrote and share it. Might not be fair but how things work.

It is also why he is sitting at home and nobody will hire him. All of this has ZERO to do with politics and him being right leaning.

The issue has been cop-opt by the right wing to use it to gen up their base.

This is NOT a political issue as it appears you think. Writing what he did about women is NOT political. It is just human decency and something you just do not do.

From the patches it seems that the write operation to the array is also protected with masking. What is the reason for it? If due to a bug unrelated to Spectre a JS code could trigger a write beyond the allocated memory, restricting writes to the next power of two just slightly complicates the attacks. This is very different from the reading situation.
The key difference is speed. One of the earliest speeding laws considered was the automobile cannot go faster than a horse and wagon which is about 10-15 mph. It is much easier to stop in time, or get out of the way, when at 15 mph rather than 30 mph.

Well, paywalls lots of places. There'll be less incentive for clickfarming sites, and some-to-many-to-all of the big sites will probably go for-pay, but lots of smaller sites will still provide content because people like to communicate with the world.

It doesn't sound like a bad thing to me—especially if we're being told that the trade-off is paying for content, versus giving up rights to our privacy.

Are you from the US? In the US and CA you can be fired for basically any reason that a company wants as long as you are not a protected class which Damore is not.

But here it is so black and white on firing him this entire discussion is a bit ridiculous. The entire thing is some weird PR thing driven by the right wing.

Any company I am familiar with in the US would have fired Damore. It is also why nobody will hire him.

It is also why he now has his GF filter him.
I'm fine with advertising; I see it every day on TV, in magazines, as I walk down the street.

What the ad networks want, though, is pervasive, persistent, personally identifiable cross-domain tracking across the entire WWW. Obnoxious and unskippable autoplaying videos. Obnoxious, garish popups. 1/5 of the on screen real estate to be advertising often only loosely related to the content, more often than not totally disinteresting to the reader, and potentially serving up malware via their active content.

No. Apple is doing the right thing, and the networks brought it on themselves. I have ZERO sympathy, and anyone who relies on their parasitic behaviour to exist doesn't really offer any value worth paying for anyway. I bet content becomes meaningful enough to be worth paying for, as the rest will die.

No innovation can survive one-sided scrutiny of this type:

you should at least factor in the number of children saved because of the availability of fast-moving vehicles to get them timely help.

Given the steady rise of childhood life expectancies during our fall down this "rabbit hole", your logic breaks down pretty catastrophically. At least without more support than comparing the relative squishiness of these two objects.
I have 2 boys, both adopted, and both biologically the youngest.

Yet, "oldest children are more conservative, youngest children are more creative, etc." and the oldest being more intellectually curious describes them perfectly.

I looked it up, and that is pretty interesting. It compiles offline, and even has SDL? I didn't think Apple would allow that. I'll have to check into this more. Thanks for mentioning a specific app.

Nope. Probable cause is a specific legal standard in the US - the Wikipedia article gives a decent overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probable_cause

Matt, Tyson here. Great update on the site. Have you consider adding a blog off the main page to build some organic traffic?

If you really want to dive into the Google Analytics, you could always setup API access. Its a little bit of a hassle, like 17 steps, but the python interface gives you lots of fine grained data you do not get from the GA client.

One other thing you can try is log everything with a tracking ID and timestamp. Then just process these particular logs and you can get some idea about what return visitors do.

Look, let's not get drastic. Obviously the first step is to whine about it, and behave as if the user's respect for privacy is tantamount to theft. Ooh, maybe try getting some laws passed criminalising ad blocking! (I am not sure whether that is implausibly ridiculous or a simple description of facts.)
If someone fires a gun randomly down the street, not aiming at anyone, but happens to hit someone, they'd certainly be arrested. Drive a multi-thousand-pound projectile down the street, kill someone, and it's just an "accident".

> But the person I was replying to was fretting that, god forbid, a child be more distracted by a phone like x or y person they know was distracted by games, and not become z person they should be.

But that's the thing, they weren't. I can't find that upstream in this thread. But I'm happy to hold that position.

> It's so ironic, because so many distractions have existed for decades, but you've turned out fine.

I'm not convinced that many people actually did. Right now, it's getting more and more absurd, more and more shallow and violent, and climate and pollution nobody really feels responsible for. The branch we evolved on is being cut off, and we suffer from bystander paralysis. But we're fine because we can actually sleep well in this pathological mess? How sure are we that the people who act out in silly or destructive ways are not more sane still than those who don't even do that? Personally I'm not sure at all.

> Why not let your child discover for themselves what turns them on, despite the distractions and all?

Because they're not by themselves, we're not talking about kids finding mobile devices in the woods. It's kinda saying let the kid deal with the onslaught of machines and algorithms made by all adults except their actual parents, as if the whole world only wants their best, while the parents just selfishly want to have a second chance at their regrets and so on.

I super duper disagree. I don't disagree with your point in a vacuum (Franz Kafka expressed similar thoughts in letters to Elli Hermann), but in this context I do. Like when someone says "too much sugar is harmful" and someone else talks about how we shouldn't expect others to conform to our ideals of beauty. Yeah, it's technically correct, but in context it smells, because it's not addressing the actual point made in the least, and is making assumptions about people you don't know the first thing about.

If a kid gets hooked to ElsaGate videos ( https://i.imgur.com/AlTHFn5.jpg ), who am I to say they're wrong? Someone paying attention. If 99.99% of the people on the planet said "it's fine" that wouldn't make it fine, it would put 99.99% of the people on the planet my personal trash heap. When I was a child, I didn't hold back with my opinion, so why would I do that as an adult? I haven't even found ONE serious adult who can actually take in ElsaGate (the linked image is a joke, a tiny crop of a still frame of a trailer, but even that's too much already). And that's just a derpy bumbling first step, this shit will evolve and iterate. But oh yeah, let's mock "think of the kids". This is cavemen playing with nuclear bombs, bragging.

There's being hurt a little bit, and there's being swallowed whole, and the thing about getting swallowed whole is that you don't live to get hurt a little bit another day.

The best thing about your post is that it argues for the interest group of people who don't play all the reindeer games, but can still be valuable members of a team.

The worst thing about your post (that isn't at all your fault), is that there isn't a strong argument for them palatable to the hegemony short of "ableism."

If the explanation in your first paragraph is true, then does it stand to reason that there are non-autistic people with weak soft skills? Or simply prefer an individualistic, distraction-free workplace?

My answer to this rhetorical question is: Yes, obviously, as long as you don't tautologically define anyone with a below-threshold appetite for social interaction at work as autistic.

It's fashionable in SV to talk of empathy, tolerance, acceptance etc... Yet from the outside I see a very close-minded bubble that demands people comport to so many social standards that nobody actually finds necessary for professionals to work productively. They'll let people get away with non-conformance only if they've got an excuse that would be a political landmine to cross (e.g. ableism re: autism).

Copyright has a sort of enthalpy (an appreciation) that grows into new forms of protections with socio-techno changes increasing the value, as opposed to a depreciation. The value is also appreciated by how much it's already been used to make! (e.g. Star Wars) Without physical entropy, like a building, you have a very different economic mechanism. The benefit to the originator's estate is not the single determining factor. Copyright is bad, in the current form. A simple depreciation factor would be far superior to the copyright expiry.
