Nvidia isn't a fab. AMD isn't a fab. TSMC is the fab that beat Intel. TSMC's customers, like AMD and NVidia, are beneficiaries.

So far. As customers of TSMC, in the long term it behooves them for TSMC to have competition.

Further, "leadership matters" is a somewhat ironic complaint given that Intel ran face-first into a brick wall precisely because they were leading. TSMC placed conservative bets on the next node and Intel placed risky bets because they needed the extra risk/reward to maintain leadership. Intel's bets failed (in particular, cobalt wires and COAG). They chose "leadership or bust" and went "bust," at least for now.
> As always, wait for the benchmarks before deciding to buy (or return).

Why would you keep a 1200$ RTX 2080 Ti or a 2500$ Titan when you can get at least the same perf for 50-75% of the price with the new products, and much better RTX perf ?

This assumes that with RTX off the new gen won't be slower than the old one, but I think that's a fair assumption, and if it isn't, you can always return the 30xx card in 2 weeks, and buy an used 2080 Ti or Titan on ebay for pennies, once the market overflows from people upgrading for the 30xx series.

People were still asking for 900$ for a used 2080 Ti on ebay this morning, and the 3080 700$ price just destroys that offer. Many owners are going to try and dump these cards for as much as they can get in the next two weeks. I wouldn't buy a used 2080 Ti for more than 250$ today. In one month, these cards are going to sell used for 100-200$. If AMD can only match the 2080 Ti perf, they are going to have a very hard time pricing against the used 2080 Ti market.

> And let's not forget the huge power draw, requiring a new power connector and a 3 slot cooler.

That's only for the 3090 IIUC. All other cards were announced as being actually much smaller than the 20xx series ones.
It's breathless pearl clutching targeted at Forbes readers who would be scandalized that their perceived inferiors are making what amounts to a moderately livable wage in one of the most expensive places on earth.

As a quick example, here we can see the author making an extremely weird argument that the guy running the agency that serves the homeless in the city is somehow doing a bad job because there are more homeless people now than there were in 2016.

> In 2016, the city added a new agency to serve its homeless residents. By 2019, the department had 148 employees, and 53 of them made more than $100,000.

> The director, Jeff Kosinsky, brought home up to $238,182 annually, but each year the city’s homeless population continued to grow.
Agree that 8K is a bit overkill, but it'll be nice for 60FPS+ 5k since 5k doubles 2560x1440 exactly and makes for a better multipurpose use resolution than 4k does at 27".

This is inflammatory and unhelpful. Britain is large and complex. US is huge and complex. Focus on specific weaknesses and strengths and not passing competitive judgment on huge complicated issues it's impossible to form a valid assessment of.
I'd be more convinced if the author linked a bunch of software they'd written before writing yet another haskell tutorial.

10x? We're way above 10x in the ratio of haskell/functional/monad tutorials to running applications. If touting that yours is "the one" and we should skip over the tens of thousands of others out there, some supporting evidence might be useful.

Applications written in haskell you can run on your computer for doing something other than programming is still a list that you can count on your fingers. Please let me be wrong about that and list them if I am. I'll be delighted and wildly enthused.
It's interesting the effect new graphics have on how old graphics are seen. I remember when Resident Evil came out on the first Playstation, at the time, I considered certain game elements like fire and water indistinguishable from reality. Now it looks like pixelated garbage and I ask myself how I could have ever thought that.
Notarization doesn't actually review the software. It's just a financial and technical barrier to reduce (not absolutely prevent) the spread of mutant versions of malware.
As someone who runs data models at home in addition to 3D rendering, 3090 is a must buy for me. I imagine it will be sold out within minutes and supply will be an issue for months.
Wasn’t there a requirement for working models to apply for a patent? Is there a guarantee that there’s been real research into practicality for anything that’s patented?
It's the Titan of this generation, but aimed at a slightly wider audience. The RTX titan was what, $2400? SO you could say it's come down a bit...

If I tell you that Barrack Obama was actually born in Kenya, how will logic and reasoning help you recognize this as the misinformation that it is?

A lot of misinformation, I would guess the vast majority, starts from false "facts" but builds logically on those. "Rea searchers have found that vaccines cause autism, so we should avoid vaccines for mild or unlikely diseases, lest our children catch autism" - the reasoning is pretty sound, except that the "fact" it starts from is an utter lie.

Now, I would still say that, rather than silencing these opinions, it is more important for them to be combated at every opportunity, with the real truth, which is indeed a form of education.
It's not a myth, it's an institution that requires confidence and defense, like any other.

The thing to remember is that, under all the chrome and Apple styling, macOS is rooted in BSD. So the power users who enjoy the *nix-y bits of macOS and are looking for a replacement will look for something that gives them more of that.

This is awesome in a very very sad way.

Several years ago, I started working for a company that was in the build up to a Yea/Nay vote for joining the union. During that time, 2 "goons" showed up at my apartment to discuss the benefits of joining the union and why not joining would be bad. However, these very "intelligent" goons showed up during the day, you know, working hours where I had a very low chance of being home. I don't know if they were just that dumb, or if they were trying to influence what they thought were family members. Instead, it was my flatmate from England. She told me just laughed at the thought of me joining a union, and not so politely told them to bugger off and closed the door on them. Ultimately, the vote failed miserably.

All of that to say, that I'm not surprised that anti-union shenanigans are at the same level as the pro-union shenanigans.
Neither paradigm solves the expression problem. This forces people to break the paradigm as the code grows. Look at the code in some Julia packages, and you will see good use of abstractions around a language design where the expression problem does not exist. This is practical stuff, being used in applied scientific research on a large scale.
I wonder if tokenizing all PII for storage, with a special lookup server accessible only to a small group, would reduce the threat of these kinds of attacks.

Obviously some things like SMS or sending of email need to manipulate this data, but rx/tx of eg sms given a placeholder token could also be similarly siloed, so most technical staff would never have or need access to raw PII like IP, phone, or email.

Unfortunately geolocation for ad targeting and other customization features is still probably going to make a “what country is this user in right now?” possible for most devs/SREs, which is itself a bit of a physical location change traffic leak, but making it near-impossible for most devs or SREs to view untokenized user PII would probably be a huge step in the right direction.
A possible use for SpaceX's Starlink as well. Starlink doesn't have to follow the curvature of the earth so over long enough of a distance it is actually shorter and quicker to use Starlink.
The fact is that there are effective unions. There are also corrupt unions. The problem is that each side will only acknowledge one of those sentences as being correct.

Oh man - the same here with me - when I first got Morrowind there was an option you could enable in ATI (now AMD) cards at the time that made water look "real". I was able to enable that and was blown away - I was like "well that's it - doesn't get any more real than this". Having loaded Morrowind recently I could not believe had bad it looked lol. Makes me wonder - what are we "not" seeing right now that will make us think this way 10-20 years from now?
3080 ($700) apparently has 238 teraflops of "tensor compute." We're frighteningly close to a petaflop of compute for less than a thousand usd.
this went on "realists study re-assembling a Kalashnikov".

There was lots of English, obviously, but also a lot of adaptation and modifications. Almost nothing (in wide use) was copied identically so I don't think this is a 'simple explanation' why this machine is the way it is. If I were to guess - this is a fairly late, specialized, small-run device made by a DDR space research institution. Maybe they were more geared up to make 'international' equipment. Maybe that's just the buttons they had on hand. The device was also intended to be used in 'friendly' countries so that might have been a factor. It's also possible this was considered more unobtrusive - on the museum site linked in the article there's a Soviet spy field radio with English markings, for instance, for use overseas.
I think they may have some reasons:

(1) PR. Right now because of COVID-19, the public is somewhat more attentive to stories about working conditions.

(2) Morale. Happier drivers probably perform better and have less turnover.

(3) Parking. If they incentivize drivers to get as close as possible to some arbitrary point, drivers could take parking spaces that should go to customers. Imposing unnecessary constraints often causes unforeseen consequences.

(4) App/site security. The article says drivers download (third-party) apps that monitor Amazon's sites. It's better to make most users feel like they don't need bot apps. Once they go looking for them, they may find apps that have additional features which are not so neutral. Also, it creates a small industry of developers who specialize in doing hacky things with Amazon's systems.

If I were them, I'd fix this if it's possible to do it without sacrificing other important things.

Ask HN: How credible is Reinforcement learning in finance(stocks)?
Recently came across blog post on reinforcement learning on stock data to trade. However in reinforcement setting agent should be able to play with simulated environment to explore and learn. However there is no way to simulate the price all it does is takes historical fragment of price and replays it.

In my mind it is equivalent to historical data labeled and resampled with redundancy after shuffling. Am I missing something here?

Blog that I was reading was: https://towardsdatascience.com/deep-reinforcement-learning-for-automated-stock-trading-f1dad0126a02

Yea I think if you run the calculations and you have room you should be good if your PSU is just slightly above the power requirements. If you run an unusual amount of memory or HDDs/etc, you might want to calculate everything manually rather than just assume its 100 watts though.

I have never had a PSU fail, but supposedly unlike pretty much every other component if it fails its possible it will destroy your GPU/CPU/MB so it makes sense to spend a little extra on a good PSU.

Probably my best component purchase ever was a 1050W Modular PSU in 2014. It was an old model even then and apparently no one wanted 1000W+ power supplies back then because it was on clearance. It should still be good for a 3090 and probably even a 5090 when I upgrade again in the future.

I paid far less than a 1000w PSU costs now.

The last-three-years retirement bowling lanes you're describing need a US-wide overhaul, but it's definitely not an uncommon occurrence in public service admin anywhere in the states, on a City, State and Federal level.

But the overtime budget breakdown for SF (City and County) was roughly 65% transit, 28% maintenance, 5% enforcement. So admin is < 2% of it.

Those numbers in context are interesting. In FY2011/12 the departmental breakdown of employees exceeding set overtime limits were:

- Transportation: 634 employees

- Fire Department: 378 employees

- Public Health: 115 employees

- Sheriff: 85 employees.

Everyone else in the city - combined - came to just 63 employees. In other words, these are critical positions drawing nearly all of the overtime.
An article doesn't have to be "surprising" to be with writing, or reading. It even says "unsurprisingly" right in it.
The pandemic isn't just bad, like getting hurt or losing money. It turned our lives upside down, calling into question the meaning and value of institutions we previous largely took for granted -- from school to office to commute to social relationships and how we interact.
Neat! I just got a new screen with DDC/CI and was excited to get that control with Dell Display Manager on my desktop rather than digging through OSD menus. I wish it would just go in the action center like a laptop's built-in screen, but it's still more convenient than using the buttons.

Will have to try this out when I get it hooked up to my Macbook!
>we saw a massive stock market crash

For this one specifically, i don't really agree, because the index is positive year-to-date, sitting at the historical all-time high right now. Doesn't seem like a massive crash to me, given that it dipped not that badly in the first place and then almost instantly recovered.

Wow - so he can - here's a video https://youtu.be/lK75XLUIKUk?t=8
I was referring to the celebrity’s name and reputation being a gate that’s being erected around what I believe, based on my personal experience with their content, is general common sense, best-practice sort of advice.

This isn’t my piece so I can’t say my opinions are 100% aligned with the creators intent, but going in loving the concept, I was disappointed by the lack of depth in the content... it’s a lot less a class taught by your hero, more like your professor scored a really cool guest lecturer.
I've never heard about this device before and I just learned about it today as friends pointed out they're kickstarting Arsenal 2 and it looks pretty neat software-wise: http://kck.st/3aX6iKM

I wonder if all camera brands support the same features of if those are brand-dependent as SDK varies across models. Also, if it's all "AI" magic software, it could be embedded (via licensing) into DSLRs or even smartphones... maybe?
Speaking from a medical school standpoint, at least the one I work at, the lecturers are the 'owners' of their class content, including the 'performance' of the lecture. Without their permission, most of which want $$$ for each viewing, the school cannot put them up for viewing for free to the public.
Sure it's not a high bar, I just wanted to point out what his background was. I don't want to suggest that you need specific credentials in order to conduct reasonable scientific investigations either.

His videos do a decent job of replicating the behavior seen in the UFO videos in a simple way and will give experts in the area a starting point to agree/disagree with his conclusions. Especially with the simple descriptions of the gimbal behavior/limitations in range of motion paired with the data given in the view of the video.

The one I know about is Pandoc, which I use every day.
I don't think it's not possible, but I don't believe it can be as effective as in person.

Online you have the option to click block/mute/ignore and move on. So if you are trying to convince someone, a specific person to change their point of view, it will be much harder to reach them.

However thinking about this, I'm surprised there aren't any activist groups who patrol around online and focus on individuals to try and persuade them to change. Broad messages are much less effective than 1:1 conversations.

However that also borders on or crosses the line of harassment, depending on view point.

I was once a student at a community college taking an astronomy course and was required to visit an observatory to write a reflection piece. I ended up visiting Mt. Wilson Observatory. Boy, did I think my beat-up, 2002 Honda Civic coupe would not make it up there due to the incline - my friends and I were in awe of how we were driving "in the clouds" (or maybe it was just fog?). I loved it up there! If I recall correctly, they had this shack where you could buy your tour pass and food.

I'm glad the 3080 is launching first so I can try getting one of those and if they are sold out I have time to think about whether I want to try dropping more than twice as much on a 3090 instead.

Isn’t there some self-incentive for the federal government to increase loan sizes as well? I forget what it was but remember seeing some flowchart about it.

I’d say we let the private market handle school loans. Certainly wouldn’t be a perfect system in regards to access, but I feel it’d be better than current state because there’d be somebody involved deciding if a college loan is worthwhile.

It's problematic because of the demographics of the areas and of the people who are predicted to commit crimes, of course. If the system doesn't spit out a perfectly egalitarian, proportional representation of the population down to an infinite level of granularity, it must be wrong; just like all the other machine learning systems that have been revealed to have incredible bias by similarly pointing out things that agree with observable, measured reality.
