> Counterintuitively it seems that "make it up with volume" is winning;

The 18650 is a form factor, not the chemistry.

Tesla uses the 18650 in the Model S and X but uses a 21700 form factor for the Model 3, Powerwall and Powerpack. They announced during their Battery Day event the transition to the 4680 form factor.

The Powerwall and Powerpack uses a Lithium NMC chemistry which is different from the Lithium NCA chemistry used in their automobiles.

But this does not list any credits for the actual game...

Looking at the websites sources the actual game-code (powerblocks.js) was apparently written in 2016 by Danijel Durakovic (who is not mentioned in the credits...)

But I could not find anything about the games code/author elsewhere.
There's enough break-downs I'm seeing where these new cards aren't really caught up with the newest RTX cards because DLSS 2.0 is the big differentiator and stuff like nVidia Broadcast just aren't there for AMD. The other suspicious comparisons are AMD benchmarks against RTX 2080 Ti when the newest RTX cards _all_ blow away the RTX 2080 Ti in almost every metric.

However, what I'm seeing out of this mess is that AMD is absolutely competitive on a watt-per-performance basis now. The other problem is that AMD is so far behind nVidia in software (read: AI research mindshare) that it's not clear if we'll be able to see that many titles take on raytracing in future titles or adopt the work necessary to do ML-based upscaling with AMD as the baseline software stack rather than DLSS.
I think GP's cynicism is warranted in this case. I listened to the first hour of this hearing, including Cruz's rant, and it's pretty clear that Congress is not touching Section 230 anytime soon.

The fact that the government does that today isn't a justification for doing it.

I didn't say I don't care about others. I do value liberty higher than life, however. I don't think a cryptocurrency will "burn the world to the ground"...

Governments are allowed to stop people from harming each other - enforce pollution controls, chase down criminals, etc. They aren't allowed to tell someone he can't use bitcoin because too many bad guys use it too.
The issue is two-fold:

One, that there are positive feedback loops out there for existing carbon, but there are no positive feedback loops for carbon removal. You're never going to catch it.

Two, it takes more energy to get carbon out of the air than the energy it took to put it in there. So not only do you have to find clean energy to replace our current needs, you then have to find an integer multiple of that clean energy to get the carbon out, plus an accelerating multiple to get the postive-feedback carbon out too.

You'll never get that card down to 0 if you keep spending on it.

Not all carbon sequestration requires input energy from the grid.

No, it's not; maybe I didn't express it well. The government absolutely has a role in preventing harm and punishing those who cause it - if you pollute the atmosphere, the government can come after you. If you hurt someone, the government can come after you. But if you just own and use bitcoin, the government can't come after you just because some bad guy also uses bitcoin.

I'm a big fan of tabletop simulator-- you can play and create virtually any board game online. Really not much like it.

That said, it is probably the game which MOST needs a freemium pricing model. Convincing everyone you want to play with to drop $20 on a game can be a prohibitive hurdle. No problem for other gamers in your life, but non-gaming family/friends/co-workers...that's a huge lift.

I'd be way more eager to pay double, if it meant I was unlocking "host" abilities to start the game, while everyone else could join for free in an app/website.
We're unlucky in that Covid takes such a long time to kill. It's a little under a week until symptoms onset, another week until serious illness [1]. Hospital patients aren't dying of Covid until almost 2 weeks after admission [2]. So we're talking about victims dying maybe a month after exposure.

With other illnesses there's evolutionary pressure to be less deadly so that the host doesn't die before infecting others, but that's not a problem for Covid where people are most contagious before symptom onset.

why don't you go someplace else then? no one is forcing anyone on to Twitter, it had no more sway or status than the Babylon Bee or any other media.

if people vote with their feet to hang out someplace, it should not face increasing nuetrality regulations, imo. to answer Cruzcs question, every active Twitter user voted for Twitter, & our choice not to go use an alternative is an ongoing continual voting that could change any day.

I also don't agree, don't think Twitter is acting at all biased. I think they have very basic rules & have been very kind about trying to enforce them.

I work in machine learning and bought an Nvidia card for my PC with the intent of doing ML on some personal projects. But I bought a 2070S, and would never drop that much on a 3090 for personal use.

So yeah, the huge gap ML capabilities between AMD and Nvidia are a selling point, but probably for a small enough group that it doesn't make a difference.
A lot of people, especially on HN, like to characterize this as a Republican witch hunt. Before we devolve into that kind of thinking, remember this line from the article:

I'm on the alpha for both Windows and Android. It's pretty impressive already, but not everything shown in the video is yet available.

What they have put together so far seems well thought-out and, in my opinion, has some advantages and better design decisions vs. e.g. Notion in some respects. In other ways they need to improve, for example lack of a tree navigation makes managing deep page linking more annoying than necessary. But in general, seeing their current pace of progress, I am frankly more confident in their ability to create a good tool than I am in Notion at this point (Notion's next big release, theoretically this year, may change my mind again...).

Anytype in alpha is faster than Notion on both desktop and web. A good part of this is probably just because it's all local. So search is near-instant. Page loading tends to be very fast, etc. It will take a while to get to feature parity with Notion, and until then a full comparison between the two is unreasonable, but there is strong potential.

One thing I also particularly like about the Anytype team vs. Notion is the relatively new forum they setup. Unlike Notion they have an actual feature request and "vote" board! So you can see what has already been requested, comment on and upvote it, etc. This is so much better than Notion's opaque process and long periods of development inactivity.

It's early days, but they have some funding and a team that is doing good work so far. I'm optimistic about the future.

I'll repeat: please tone it down, this is not the way to contribute to open source. I'm not a developer on any of these projects and you aren't my project manager. If you intend to try to step up to manage this as a work project then that's fine but this is not the place to do it. Save it for your own employees that you're hiring.

Re user confusion: If you know enough to write scripts using xdotool you can probably figure out how to use a package manager and switch a machine over to X.

Re global hotkeys: I still don't understand your complaint. You just described two applications that didn't work and then went on to explain how one of them was made to work on Wayland. Yes, applications need to be ported, no solution on the Wayland side will ever change that. If the complaint is that the chosen method adds latency, or that the config setting has moved, those are vastly different than your original complaint which is that it doesn't work.
If self-driving cars are marginally better at driving than humans, but people take more rides in them out of convenience, it's easy for the technology to result in a net increase of human deaths.

As you alluded to, which action is moral depends on the framework you subscribe to. The most direct contra-framework to the utilitarian approach is negative utilitarianism - challenging whether the goal ought to be to maximize pleasure or to minimize pain as a priority.

If you maximize pleasure as a first priority, you can either say that "As long as human life is in general good, I should make the choice to create one" or "As long as a human life produces any good, I should make the choice to create one".

This gets into an interesting sub-point with respect to animal experiments - most people would argue that animal experiments produce some good (Advances in human health). Moral critiques of animal experiments, thus, can rely on either "Hurting animals is bad" (Negative utilitarianism, more or less) or "The pain we create does not outweigh the value they produce". The later point is particularly poignant because the species experiencing the pain does not receive benefits of the pain (Thus there's no "community sacrifice").
> I'd prefer full censorship instead of the partisan sham that Twitter is doing now.

Historically, and this is one of its major problems, "full" censorship is a partisan act by the party defining and implementing the standards. So, when you say this, all I hear is that you prefer a different partisan basis for censorship, and for it to be globally-consistent partisanship rather than variable to reflecting the partisans preferences of individual outlets.

Software architecture, as I understand it, applies to a particular software product/solution. Architecture is your opportunity to choose which problems will be easy and which problems will be hard. For example, a microservices architecture makes HA easy but global consistency and data locality/caching hard. A centralized database architecture is the mirror image.

The article discusses architecture in the abstract, which sounds more like a programming model or paradigm (OOP, functional, actor model, imperative), or maybe a pattern.

Wouldn't it be weird to discuss building architecture in the abstract, without a notion of the site to build on or the purpose of the building?

I've always encouraged people to check out Jonathan Blow's talk on this topic ( https://youtu.be/JjDsP5n2kSM?t=817 ). He points out many reasons why this type of code would actually be the optimal version when weighing other factors.

Simple code is easy to write, maintain, and optimize later. Despite the code looking messy, I find it easy to understand and navigate.

A counter example of truly confusing code, which kind of does similar things, would be something like this: https://github.com/ImageMagick/dcraw/blob/master/dcraw.c

> I'd love to know how you expect a computer to navigate a blizzard on an unpainted country road when even adaptive cruise control systems can't handle a bit of snow on the sensors.

> Sure this stuff works fine in Arizona where there is no inclement weather most of the time, and the roads are in perfect condition because freeze/thaw cycles don't cause excessive wear, but what about the rest of the country and the world?

Again, what's the problem you're pointing to here? Arizona is easy mode, no doubt...and? We already know companies are also testing in areas with fouler weather, after all. Waymo even demonstrated how their sensors handle snowfall two years ago, and presumably they've improved further since then as they've continued development: https://www.engadget.com/2018-05-08-waymo-snow-navigation.ht...

It's absolutely bizarre how many HN commenters assume that the engineering departments in every self-driving car company are chock full of the biggest morons on the planet. "Oh ho ho, did they ever consider that other places have different weather than Arizona? Checkmate, tech companies."
I live in California which is known for its "car culture," but that aside I don't think I would ever be comfortable with only using public transportation or not owning a car. Having a car is convenient and gives you full control over exactly when and where you want to go.
Deep learning, cryptocurrency, and the resurgence of PC gaming have all taken place over the last decade, so its hard to pin production issues on any single factor.

Personally, I think its less due to these and more due to people using bots to buy up stock for scalping. The same stocking issues have happened for the new Xbox and Playstation, and even for non-tech hardware, like the newest Warhammer 40k box set. The bot scalping issue is just becoming more pervasive.
You are completely right. If individuals and companies can contribute in any way possible that's great. Personally I don't care if it's the GND or whatever, but the government needs to take climate change very very seriously.
I agree. I'm sure the level of this organization operates at utilizes teams of their own vulnerability researchers to provide themselves with the ability to create new and novel zero-day exploits that are not-disclosed to the big players. This is Internet warfare.
It's a simple API, that's for sure. But it's pretty consistent in itself and obviously is trivial to build abstractions upon. Also makes it easy to port to other languages.
@boulos is correct. That was my bad writing :)

I don't know which has a higher priority for tesla, utility or car manufacturing. It looks like both have a higher priority than the home battery distribution (hence the ever increasing price of the powerwall without increasing capacity).

As a company we operate a server with consumer cards. Running your own consumer Nvidia cards is very cheap compared to buying time on servers with enterprise Nvidia cards. On the cloud you are paying a premium for being on the cloud, and on top of that the premium for having datacenter-licenced cards.

Of course this calculation depends on how bursty your compute requirements are and how much you pay for electricity (datacenter cards are more power efficient)
> You seem to be unable to have a good faith conversation about the merits of Wayland.

Actually, we haven't talked about the merits, yet!

Unfortunately, when I was playing around with Wayland, I struggled a bit to find the benefits that would make it so irresistible that I'd put up with the downsides.

Tear-free? Eh, I have that with X thanks to Intel's drivers. Though I absolutely understand that's not a universal experience.

Different display DPIs? Anything that falls back to Xwayland (which unfortunately is still a lot of applications) look like blurry garbage for obvious reasons, which means it's actually unusable in a lot of circumstances. And that's assuming solid application-level support (I seem to recall Firefox had mixed DPI regressions that were recently resolved, but that's only a vague recollection).

TBH, I was really really rooting for this feature as it could be really nice, and I was deeply disappointed when it didn't work out.

Touchpad gestures? Okay, legit these are really nice! Three-finger workspace switching in Gnome is pretty slick. OTOH, the lack of that feature isn't a dealbreaker, either.

General touchpad improvements? Funny thing is, libinput is being backported into Xorg, which means that you can get a lot of those benefits without switching. For example, I'm using Firefox with libinput2 and it's a fantastic improvement!

Honestly, I'd love a killer feature that'd push me to Wayland and cause me to put up with all the functional regressions. But I simply haven't found one... :(

So, at this point, I'm waiting for the regressions to be resolved. Hopefully we'll get global hotkeys, broadly supported screencasting, better application-level support for things like mixed DPI, and lots of bug fixes so I can finally make the switch!
