These numbers match up with the performance that we’ve measured in our own tests that were posted last week. The Titan V is simply too expensive for Deep Learning. The 2080 TI is, by far and away, the best GPU from a price/performance perspective.

As mentioned in the article, only possible reason that you might want a Titan V is if you care about FP64 performance: i.e., nobody training neural networks.

I've experienced the same. But I think you're highlighting the difference between push and pull sharing. Separately, the content of either method of sharing can be more braggadocious or factual. That said, I find people who need to brag usually push-share.
another fantastic piece of work by bellingcat! i am starting to worry for their health, however.

bellingcat is basically the opposite of wikileaks. rather than repackaging leaks from insiders, they just repackage information that is there for everyone to see. can't fault em for that.
That's not really the question, because turbo boost exists on servers and workstations too. Intel chips will clock to 4.5GHz for a short while before throttling down to their base frequency once the thermal ceiling is hit.

Isn't this just an iteration on last year’s iPhone X?

I always thought android were further ahead in a lot of departments (especially hardware). Mainly because there is a new android phone almost weekly, which sometimes uses new technology that the iPhone did not have available to them at the time.

Though I would agree on the quality of apps.
Couldn't the hackers just swap a chip for a duplicate that has the extra "chip" within it. Then all you have to show is identical looking boards, and it doesn't matter if you can show the difference technically, if people see identical looking boards they'll say it's fake.

The slow build up of Better Call Saul is what makes it good for me. I love looooong character developments. Too much spastic, constant action in movies/tv these days.
Gentoo was certainly a terrible fit, but I've had my runs with Debian, ubuntu and fedora as well, and it somehow always ends up being configuration hell, which then breaks with some random update, prompting me to do it all over.

These days it's more than that though. I mean, I'm completely drenched in the apple eco-system, and it's kind of nice to get iMessages on my MacBook and sharing data between devices so easily. I now I could setup something similar with stuff like own cloud, but then I'd have to do that, instead of it just working out the box.

Like I said, I don't dislike linux. I've never really disliked an OS until windows 10, but I just don't bother with technology that isn't designed for user experience anymore.

Like my first smartphone was an android, I don't think I'll ever own an android phone again. :p

Ultimately you are betting that the company will one day buy back stock, be acquired, issue dividends, etc.
>For it to look correct requires simulating everything about it, everything feeding into it, everything it affects, from the moment I stopped looking at it until I looked at it again.

No, it only needs to at the two points you take inputs provide answers that satisfy your understanding on what the inputs should be, and your understanding is formed by other inputs you've been fed, making the entire thing much easier. Satisfying you is probably much easier than satisfying someone who really studies rivers.

Neither you nor an expert needs simulating it much at all while you're not looking at it. And I doubt there's any case to simulate to any atomic or subatomic level. The gravitational pull of Neptune can likely be ignored. Neutrinos that may scatter from Antartic ice may hit it, but can probably ignored. And on and on. You're inspection is no where detailed enough to check if these things were taken into account for a decade while you were away. All of this detail is irrelevant.

It may well be possible to do a good job with a very rough simulation of water and time, all of which could be computed on demand.

So really all that needs stored is enough state to simulate in case you look at it again, and no work needs done on it between those looks. And this is a trivial amount of storage and computation to satisfy your two causal glances when compared to needing to simulate an entire universe down to all 10^120 subatomic particles.
Which parts switched to steel? Other than fasteners and misc. hardware that has to be strong and fairly malleable to withstand owner abuse (hinges, handles, latches, etc) I don't see much of a need for steel in a wood stove.
The Automation Charade
That's only one way that you would do hydro-storage these days though.

Think, for example, if you drill a hole deep into the ground, lower a cylinder into it, poke a hole in the bottom of the cylinder, then fill that cylinder with water. If I put a platform with a giant weight on top of it, the platform will press all of the water in the cylinder down through the hole in the bottom. That water will travel through a tube to the top of the cylinder and pour back into the cylinder on top of the weighted platform. In that tube, is where you capture the stored energy with turbines.

Then, when the wind picks back up, or the sun comes out, or power is just cheap even from the coal plant, you use that power to lift the platform back up and suck all the water back into the bottom of the cylinder.

Benefits of this are, as the HN User "beat" implied below, it's so cheap and simple to build that even a single, say, shopping mall might invest in it to lower their power draw from the grid. They would build one that only serves their mall for instance. You start to build out a truly distributed power storage infrastructure.

> If you change the license, all of the original work must still be distributed under MIT and only the work done after the cutover can use a new license.

That's pretty meaningless given that there is no obligation to distribute the source code to the new version, or to provide any way that "substantial portions" that are used in the new version can be extracted and used separately from the new-license work.

Meanwhile if you contribute to a currently-MIT-licensed project under a CLA, you have a copy of the current version under the MIT license and can continue to redistribute that indefinitely.

So what practical difference does it make?

Sorry, that is what I meant by attribution (which is defined as the copyright and license in MIT).

>IANAL, but sublicensing can only impose additional clauses, it cannot roll back any grants or restrictions of the original license.

Yeah, so a CLA allows that to move to a "superlicense" kind of thing (still not sure if that word makes sense there), so they could rollback those grants or restrictions of the MIT license in the future, but they cannot do so for the past.

Which, I'm okay with in a lot of cases, as that is what I philosophically want from a permissive license. However I can see how many would not be.

I don't know about the US, but I've never heard of any market in Europe where you can get more than 10% of the cost annually. I think on this side of the pond 4-5% is typical.

Also I think comparing to the stock market is a bit disingenuous as the revenue stream from renting is fluctuating a lot less (though the market value of your house might), because leases are usually at least year-long.

> Mostly, A-series chips have enormous L1 cache, great cache hierarchy and management, and very low memory latency.

Has this always been the case compared to contemporary Qualcomm/Exynos/etc. SoCs? Not implying your statement is wrong here; all I know is that the A-series chips have had a big performance advantage for a while now and I haven't read more detailed analyses in the past that may have given hints as to why.

Also, how difficult is cache hierarchy/management to get right? For something as fundamental to good performance these days as cache, I would have expected the major players to be on more or less the same playing field.

I'm not the person you're replying to but I find it terribly sad to see how much you folks (Americans) lowered the bar to accepting someone into the supreme court.

Partisanship is ok. Off-the-handle emotional responses are ok. Continuous strings of allegations "no big deal cause we don't have a cryptographically-signed videotape of it".

That 2400 law professors [0], groups like Human Rights Watch [1], the National Council of Churches [2], or even
(republican) Justice Stevens himself[3] vehemently oppose his nominations, that raises no alarm bells.

I don't get it. I'm pretty sure nearly everyone shrugging this stuff off had even heard of Kavanaugh before, and yet HE is the one who must be appointed to this lifetime position of Supreme Court Judge. HE is the one who meets the standards to reside over the country's most important cases.

What is it about this guy you like so much? Could it be that your party is telling you "it's all a democrat ploy" and you're just... following orders?

I don't even know why republican voters care this much. There's far more capable and better-suited republican candidates available if Kavanaugh is rejected. Or do you think this sorry excuse of a judge is what "best of the best" looks like?

The real meat depends on the publisher. There are always publication mills that accept basically anything or push objectively wrong agendas like AIDS denialism. It is when the bellwethers publish absolute crap that it is a sign of true rot in the field and not just a publication.
I've heard it as "commoditize your complements". When you're the heavyweight in a certain market (e.g. discovery and delivery), you want nearby markets to be competitive and prices to be low. You can greatly contribute to bringing that about by getting into it yourself like Amazon has with Amazon basics. They know they'll never make loads of money from those-- it's a highly competitive market after all-- but the better they can make it for consumers, the more consumers will use their actual product, the Amazon website.

I agree. A lot of these storage solutions are starting to be so cheap that it's not hard to see different sorts of players investing in them. The benefit being, as you rightly point out, distributed storage.

Such systems are "no-brainers" for entities like, say, hospitals.

> What about the Apache Foundation CLA? This CLA is one of the better ones, because it doesn’t transfer copyright over your work to the Apache Foundation. I have no beef with clauses 1 and 3-8. However, term 2 is too broad and I would not sign this CLA.

Term 2 of the CLA just defines inbound=outbound for Term 2 of the License (https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0).

The Apache CLA is pretty benign (for projects that are distributed under the Apache license; sometimes it is used for projects distributed under different licenses and then it gets murky), but the overhead to contributors and maintainers is significant and it is less precise than a Developer's Certificate of Origin.

They don't have the same level of history and reputation that the Guardian does. So people don't trust them as much as the Guardian. Which seems fair and reasonable.
When companies become openly consumer-hostile, we should expect consumers to become company-hostile. It's true that this leads to an antagonistic race to the bottom, but the alternative is a leisurely stroll to the bottom as one party pulls the other along by the neck. I don't know of any way to really reconcile this; trust is easy to lose and hard to earn, and in an environment of perpetual betrayal no party is eager to be the first to risk having their trust be taken advantage of.
I think the most ridiculous example was the one where they advocated for "privileged students" (ie: white men) to sit on the floor chained in classes and not be allowed to speak, so that they can "experience reparations":

> I wonder if that ‘progressive stack’ in the news could be written into a paper that says white males in college shouldn’t be allowed to speak in class (or have their emails answered by the instructor), and, for good measure, be asked to sit in the floor in chains so they can ‘experience reparations. That was our “Progressive Stack” paper. The answer seems to be yes, and feminist philosophy titan Hypatia has been surprisingly warm to it.

Isn't there a language spoken in Africa with a similar concept?

Potato, potato. In the USSR, anything you said could be interpreted as anti-revolutionary if it criticised the boss in any way; and plenty of people were privately criticising, but it was brought up only against the ones who had to be purged.

I'd consider it feasible-- in my testing, my iPhone XS outperforms my mid-2017 MacBook Pro (with i7-7820HQ [1]) in single-core benchmarking with Geekbench 4. Not by much, but it does manage a slight lead: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/compare/10006209?baseli...

Granted, this probably wouldn't hold up for a more sustained workload since the fanless iPhone's going to hit its thermal limits much more quickly than the full-size laptop, but it's pretty impressive that they're edging this close to Intel anyways (in a much smaller, much lower-power package). It'll be really interesting to see what happens with the more unconstrained A12X that'll likely go into the iPad Pro this year.

Those "multi-perspective" validations have been stalled for over a year. The last news is from August 2017. Unlike many issuers Let's Encrypt notoriously does fresh validations for most issuances and they start with a DNSSEC validated authoritative DNS query chain. So, that's 100% of validations, and perhaps 95% of all issuances. Not 0.5% as you've claimed.

When you wrote your jolly screed against DNSSEC the biggest CAs relied heavily on "Any other method" blanket exemptions which no longer exist today. They also used to insist that their extremely high issuance rates made DNSSEC and other security features just infeasible.

After CT this last part got awkward. Where, a neutral party like me might ask, are the doubtless hundreds of millions of certificates you've been issuing that would make this so hard? And of course they don't exist, it was a bluff and now their bluff has been called.

> Same thing pretty much, but with more action.

That's exactly why we play BR games.

These days I play mostly PUBG. Before that, Day of Infamy. Before that, Insurgency. Notice a trend? Each one of those games has a lot at stake (relatively speaking) when you get into an engagement. If you die, you sit out for a while. They're about communication and coordination between players on the same team.

PUBG (and Fortnite, though that's not my preference) take it to a whole other level. It's not uncommon for me to play a game of PUBG where the first 10-15 minutes is spent either not encountering anyone or spotting them before they spot me and purposefully avoiding them. It's about tactics - either coordination with your squad, or maneuvering into a better position for the next phase of the game, or waiting until someone you're stalking has engaged someone else before engaging them.

Because the preparation is longer, there's more at risk when you actually engage, and the anticipation builds to a crescendo. So, yeah - there may only be seconds of "action" in a PUBG match, but that's the whole point.

America is a poor example because it has only existed for a few hundred years with essentially continuous government. My objection to what you're saying is that you want to lump together every various dynasty that's ruled China with every modern government, when there is little basis for doing so besides ethnic ones. Would you appeal to the cruelty of the Merovingians to say France has always been cruel? I'd guess the thought wouldn't even occur to you.
