I've been rocking Intel CPU and AMD GPU for close to 15 years. Built a i7 6700k with an RX 480 back in mid 2016. Just upgraded over the holidays and flipped.

AMD CPU for obvious reasons(4950x while I wait for the opportunity for a 5950x) and an RTX 3070 OTW(haven't been able to get a 3080).

I have been mostly satisfied with AMD drivers, but I have not owned some of the problem cards(like the Radeon VII). I do like the latest Catalyst and Ryzen Master software.. But the new crop of NVidia cards crush the AMD cards on ray tracing performance, and DLSS 2.0 is voodoo I want for 4k gaming and VR. Would really, really have liked to go with an AMD 6800 XT to support the underdog but.. Those two features are clutch when shelling out nearly a grand for a video card.

I have a good feeling about AMD in general and for their next GPU architecture iteration. They are supposedly working on an answer to DLSS(details are thin and NVidia are ML giants though) and this was their first generation with hardware ray tracing support so lessons learned should bear fruit.
How do they get your speech and background noise without microphone access?
Well if they’re equally or better qualified then my point still stands. They get into the company based off ability.

The issue is whose determining what the bias is, where the statistical line should be, and how it’s enforced. If this creeps into legislature it’ll be one step closer in the wrong path.
You make it sound like one count of murder is worse than two counts of manslaughter.
It is scary, but it also sounds kind of cool; I guess many people will get excited to try it and give all the information without thinking twice.
Snap is another locked down platform where the Canonical repo is hardcoded in to the tool. Flatpak is a much better platform where you can specify your own repo source like flathub or any other source you want.
Here is the referenced July paper [1].

Spotify has a very cool feature called Community [2] where users can talk about what they want Spotify to do. The most upvoted ideas are things like "change my username" or "filter explicit songs." My personal wishlist is a "don't play this song again" button [3] and native Homepod support [4].

The point is that users aren't asking for Spotify to interpret their emotional state, they just want comparatively basic features.

It's expected to be trivial to block ads in Manifest v3. The API is a more powerful version of Safari's API which also allows adblocking.

uBlock Origin may not be willing to change, but other adblockers will fill that niche.
This was the biggest issue of the article, if I buy a share with cash I already deposited with broker, the broker will use 100% of that cash to buy the share, whether as margin first or straight paying for the share. Can any explain to me why RH would need to put collateral/margin up for shares bought with successful customer deposits?

The other explanation is that they are running a b-book that is underwater due to the runaway success of GME and have big losses from that.
Same. The only downside to Nvidia is they go out of their way to prevent sharing mainstream / consumer cards via virtualization. So it's not easy to drop a 2080 into an ESXi host and then share it to various VMs. Even applying the fixes on Virtual Ghetto doesn't work.
Smash all the computers? Unless you regulate very tightly what you can track about your users I don’t see any mechanism for companies to stop doing this kind of stuff as it is great business

> It's closer to digital beanie babies than any sort of serious currency.

And then he flushed any possibility for a good faith argument away. What, are keeping your powder dry on the tulip mania line? I'm long past the evangelical phase on bitcoin, but back when I was doing that (when it was trading in the double digits) - I heard the exact same thing. Merchants would adopt and then quickly abandon, money transmitters would welcome and then ban... and banks would just ban. I was de-banked before it was cool. I mourn the opening of crypto trade desks at the likes of Goldman Sachs more than most, because my first exposure to bitcoin was on the cypherpunks mailing list, but that doesn't mean that bitcoin failed. The comparison to beanie babies is laughably moronic.
And at least this group is specifically setting their crampons and climbing back up that slippery slope - they specifically said that the cameras capture TOO MUCH data

This is more like an upgraded version the traffic counters with pneumatic hoses that have been used to count road traffic for many decades. they know how many vehicles go by (actually, how many axles), and when, but no idea who, but it still provides valuable information to the planners (I sometimes wondered if they were sufficiently sensitive to count bicycles).
Here we go again. Very sad.
Yea I use <a> if it's a navigation button for react-router. But it still shows up like a URL because we're using the Browser history (it just updates the URL and renders the new page, each route has a URL and resource id's are in the url).
As opening the URL directly should work (if authenticated) it makes sense to use <a> tags.
Switching all enterprise server workloads to AMD. Workstations will also be AMD with many already deployed.

I agree that NVIDIA QUADRO GPUs have an edge in stability.

The AMD FirePros are very nice cards and AMD actively works on improving the drivers. The RX 580 is also a really nice card.

NVIDIA dominates in the vGPU and compute side of things in the data center.
With enough capital, they could retool and and do something completely different, like setup a network of local-market-optimized ghost kitchens (or some other completely different business model responding to current opportunities that has nothing to do with what GME does today.) It’d be potentiallty more expensive than building a similar operation from scratch, but if them using the stock price to capitalize doesn't immediately collapse it instead of providing them money (which, to be fair, is far from guaranteed) it's free money that a new business trading on its business plan and not someone else's market manipulation games wouldn't have, so why not?
Really what you want in this case are just stock swaps or futures that are cash settled.
> The point is that users aren't asking for Spotify to interpret their emotional state, they just want rather basic features to work.

Obligatory “If I’d asked customers what they want, they would have told me a faster horse.”

People may not realize the value of this new feature because they have not even imagined it.
Google started charging for captchas.
Second half of 2021 is rather unsatisfying, although I understand why. Ultimately if this generation isn't going to be available in quantity until nearly 7 months post-release,
I don't see much reason why I shouldn't just skip this generation entirely.
I loved this thriller novel: Forty Days Without Shadow, by Olivier Truc.

It's about two police detectives in Norway's northern Finnmark county. The book offers a fascinating introduction to the way of life of the Sami people and their land, Sápmi.

I'd love to visit there someday.

Unit tests, maybe not, but it's commonly accepted even in statically-typed communities that property-based tests are practically as good to guarantee properties which a stronger type-system would catch.

For example in Haskell almost all of the abstractions (Monoid, Semgroup) use property-based testing rather than proofs.
They haven't, you're probably just running into cloudflare captchas.
Scaling the writeable DB horizontally is the hard part. You can get pretty far with tuning, bare metal (if load isn't too lumpy), many read only copies, caches, and other boring solutions.
Your 37% gain on the S&P is fake.

Yes, the gains are real, but not for the reasons that you think.

The true driver behind that 37% gain is the Fed. They’ve been juicing the market for the past 12 years!

The fundamentals, ie Warren Buffet style investing, has not improved. And the moment that the Fed stops with its market manipulation, is when the S&P will fall.

The play is that, when the government gives you free money, then go long. And ride it until the wheels fall off.
Stop believing that just because we can do something, we have an intrinsic right to do something.

We should also probably stop letting “shareholder value” drive our morals.
That's about two classes of outstanding stock with different rights held by different group of stockholders, not about stock held by the issuing company.

That's not the hypothetical that was posed.
And white-adjacent.
> I would love to see highly optimized code that is easy to read.

That that's a trade-off is [just] a deficiency in our programming languages and tooling around them. As we evolve are young field (and if you've had a long career, then it is even younger to you!) I trust we will find more and more highly-optimized code that is easy to read.
I guess You could make up a pseudo and join the forum again, You obviously know how to do that "wrong identity".

Other than that You could put a note in your profile explaining the situation, some people read those things.
This is actually a result of the opioid crisis more than anything. If you leave your bathrooms open then you'll get a lot of people using then to use drugs. And a lot of them will overdose in those bathrooms (which is a serious problem for staff).
Basically it still does all capabilities needed by the extentions.
At $2000, GME can reinvent itself and become a software/hardware tech company.
I think you’re wrong. Having an enemy always helps rally people to a cause. In the case of this GME saga, WSB’s juvenile hatred towards funds they perceive as their opponents actually ended up being their biggest rhetorical win. The media picked up the story of “Reddit vs hedge funds” and ran with it because it’s much more interesting than “amateur investors want to get rich quick”. That generated the huge public interest, and was helped by a large array of pundits and politicians(like AOC) who wanted to get their nose in the publicity trough when they saw the media feeding frenzy. If the message had only been about some Reddit get rich quick scheme, nobody would have cared, and it would not have gone far.
What value does mining emotions provide for the customer?
I agree with everything you said except one nit: Robinhood still hasn't fixed their liquidity issues because they only let each account buy a maximum of one (1) GameStop share on Friday.
wmf's snarky comment aside, I think there is something important here. What's the big markets story this week and last? A bunch of people intentionally acting "irrationally" fuelled by their spite. How much "smash the system" energy can PoS systems accept?
Doesn't the fact that it's all open-source put a damper on that particular conspiracy?
With the total long position > 100% of issued shares, who gets denied voting rights?
Who are you to dictate and you mention morals which collectively we don't have. Only as an individual.

I believe that there is a culture of atheists (or just non religious people) using judeo Christian ideals to push agendas.
Despite the insane difficulty of actually buying amd parts for the last couple months its sort of crazy that they are still gaining market share like that.

I for one would upgrade my 5+ year old desktop, but I simply can't buy the parts (and I refuse to pay 2x MSRP to scalpers).
It should also be noted Melvin would not have achieved these results without leverage, which is precisely why a single holding almost destroyed the fund. Comparing unlevered benchmark index return to ultra-levered fund return simply doesn't work. The S&P most certainly outperformed Melvin on a risk-adjusted basis due to this single drawdown alone.
windows 2k was the best!

Perhaps the most fascinating thing about the Sami peoples is how much they've influenced Western Christmas traditions.

Not able to reply to the sibling comment from bsder, but yes, encryption is forbidden in the ham bands.

What vvanders is talking about, and it's a massive point of frustration for me too, is that all of the layer 2 open standards that have actual use are ancient. Like, we're supposed to feel lucky that we whave ARQ. Ridiculous.

It's not really anything to do with encryption or indecipherability, but all about spectral efficiency, and most of that really comes down to coding. I can pop open fldigi and generate a 64QAM signal really easily, but actually coding the data to ship over that pipe starts getting into some pretty arcane territory.

Think about just how good a modern cellphone is - 100+ megabit connection in the palm of your hand, competing for spectrum with hundreds or thousands of other devices, with a handset power of less than 1 watt (usually). There's nothing inherently magical about it, it's just not something that there's a lot of FOSS work around.

I've been working on deep diving on this a lot lately, I really think there should be more open source libraries around coding, but I have a funny feeling anyone who gets good at this gets snatched up by someone in the 3GPP consortium.
Give people more rights, and enforce violations. It won't happen, because the sort of rights that we need would obviate a huge swath of the economy.

But put simply, I think that we need to make it highly illegal to use information asymmetry to take advantage of people at a large scale.

People need legal protection against the natural "just make it work already" instinct that makes us blindly accept TOS terms and follow dark patterns. It would be laughable to argue that a significant portion of users actually understands what they are agreeing to.
Absolutely - fully agree.
Yeah, I already know about
Chanos. He’s got a great story. I love to listen to his insight.

Andrew Left is good too.

Chanos was shorting Tesla for several years. Not sure if closed that position.

Potentially Unlimited losses.

I agree with both you and the parent from a principles perspective. There's no reason sharing on the web has to be somehow limited to whatever the website author chose to support.

My problem is that this just isn't a pragmatic choice right now. The chicken-and-egg problem is somewhat true, but the carrot was already there for web devs - iOS and Android implement web share. And it's an excellent UX - better than anything you can make yourself.

The problem with the desktop share experience is that it is strictly worse than putting 2-3 social buttons & copy link for 95% of people. Neither Facebook nor WhatsApp support the share target API right now (quick post-edit: Twitter does though). Even if they did, there's another hurdle [1]:

To register your app as a share target, it needs to meet Chrome's installability criteria. In addition, before a user can share to your app, they must add it to their home screen.

So, again, pragmatically what people are going to start doing is - change from "if (navigation.share)" to "if (navigator.share && isMobile)". And I think that sucks - there will have to be another slow-moving wave of change once the desktop share is "good enough" to enable for everyone.

UF2 is really, REALLY handy.

I work with Adafruit on CircuitPython. We use it on basically every microcontroller device that can possibly support it. The recently announced Raspberry Pi Pico / RP2040 microcontroller have given UF2 a boost by placing a UF2 bootloader directly in the ROM of the microcontroller.

With no additional software to install, you do something as easy as "double click the reset button" or "hold down button while plugging in the USB cable", and then just drag a downloaded file into the drive that appears. Almost everyone can handle this step!

It also works well with integrated environments like Arduino and you can craft "make flash" type rules in any build system.

The usual way, with the bootloader as a "first stage" that loads the real program such as CircuitPython or an Arduino sketch is still susceptible to occasional overwrites by buggy software, so it's occasionally necessary for end-users to resort to other techniques like DFU or SWD reloading of the firmware. That's when you really remember how not great the bad old days were. But RP2040 even avoids that, because there's no way to overwrite the UF2 bootloader!
The link returns a 500 Internal Server Error - maybe it was the HN hug of death, but this post doesn’t seem big enough yet for that? Either way, I hope to read this when its back online. Seems interesting, and also scary.
Ray Tracing in One Weekend in the Nim Programming Language
Wasn't able to reply when I first saw this, I think because it was too new a comment - posted a long-winded reply as a sibling though, but generally it's not a matter of regulation, just a matter of interested and skilled parties willing to donate their time.
The Luddites were right, and we tend to reject that conclusion today more because we have no idea what to do if it's true than because we really think it's false.

(The Luddites were also not blanket opposed to technology, just technology that for absolutely no good reason made their lives worse instead of better.)
> Alternatively: we could assume that people are capable of making their own financial decisions and don't need anyone to police what they do with their own money.

We have assumed that, and it's turned out to be generally a terrible assumption, with most US earners not being able to manage a $500 expense and being indebted to credit card companies

it was mainly to satisfy pedantic financial professionals passing by but I can see how that is not reconcilable for pedantic software engineers at the same time
Historically people have been willing to use currencies with inflation like the US Dollar. The point is that any government could build a out a crypto version of their currency if they so wished and have the same inflation policies they use with paper money. The crypto part doesn't imply a specific monetary policy. Crypto just means you can use it peer to peer over the Internet without an intermediary.

I want private mode playlists. Playlists full of my kids songs that put the app in private mode so they don't mess up my suggestions.
I think powerful is a loaded word, but the rest of what you said is correct. They are different technologies for different things. Crispr is "good" for single genes. Screening is "good" for polygenic traits. For example, intelligence is thought to be linked to over 500 genes. This would not be good target for embryonic editing, even if the error rate was extremely low.
Regulating covert access to the camera and microphone doesn't really strike me as "heavy regulation".

And before we smash all the computers, maybe we can start with something less drastic, like smashing publicly traded companies? I rarely see privately held "lifestyle businesses" getting into hot water over customer abuses.
And GOOG seems to be doing okay.
> Backed by Microsoft. Microsoft has been playing good by the developers for years now. I trust them more than Apple and Google

Maybe currently they are more developer friendly. But it changed under current CEO. That means bus factor is 1. What one CEO does, other may undo. Doesn't sound wise to rely on MS.
Just a side note that InReach/Spot are not PLBs, nor are they sufficient for situations that call for PLBs:

I've carried SPOT/inReach/[Iridum/Globalstar phones] extensively in remote areas, and while they are nice to have for convenient communication, I experienced enough issues with each that I would never rely on them in a life-threatening situation.
Please don't speak again unless you thoroughly know what you are talking about when it comes to politics. I am a Burmese and Aung San Suu Kyi has never been racist. In fact, her former advisor, Ko Ni, who was a Muslim as well spoke out against the Myanmar nationality law drafted by the militay junta that prevented Rohingya of Burmese citizenship and he got assassinated. This isn't the only one, there have been other bombings, death threats, kidnapping and assassinations by the military since Aung San Suu Kyi's party won. If you were to visit Myanmar and ask anyone, be it from a racial minority group or literally anyone, they will speak in favor of her.
Form a team, create a product, get aqhired.
The military that just took power is the one that's been committing that genocide.
I wonder what knowledge the Hackintosh community has on this, since they've still been able to run BigSur on non-Apple hardware as well as do things that others have claimed were not possible, like resealing the system volume. (Sadly, the Internet is overrun with people parroting the same "facts" so it's hard to find the real truth --- I remember coming across mentions of the former in some of the very long Hackintosh forum threads.)

I don't understand how we're multiple years into a GPU shortage from both vendors. $400 retail price cards sell for $800, presumably from scalpers.

I read breathless reviews of how the latest card performs so well even though it's just $x MSRP and the reality makes that seem ridiculous. It shouldn't take 3 or 4 years to ramp up production that much. Yes, demand has increased, but again they've had years to react to that trend. I'd like to be able to buy a mediocre card for less than $500.
NYC isn't going to collapse, but I believe it is going to degrade. But it's going to degrade primarily for the middle and lower income families.

Median household income in NYC is actually below median across US, making the existing tax base small. The flight of the middle class, that was only accelerated by COVID, was already happening.

We left NYC just a few months ago. And we are one of many, who left.
