The issue is that programmatic checks probably wouldn't work in this particular instance, considering sometimes you do want to repay the principal.

The biggest problem is this whole notion of "fake-paying" off the principal as the means to calculate accrued interest by essentially piping the actual repayment to /dev/null but actually forcing the user to type /dev/null 3 times
"No no sir, I see that you're using Quadro TensorFlow, you need to use a Quadro PyTorch card."
They mostly do, the problem is that they're even more supply-constrained than Nvidia right now.

Do we have evidence that they actually learned anything from this?
One micro-angel's trash is another's come-up
I suspect there will be a bios fix for this lock about a day after they're released. Unless they put this in hardware somehow, it's not going to be effective.

And, they mention the ETH algorithm specifically is what they detect -- there are a bunch of other algorithms that aren't ETH that are profitable to mine.
I agree, when you buy the hardware you should be able to do what you please with it. This applies for something you already own and use.

Imagine a new driver, for hardware you already own where you couldn't watch cat videos (extreme example) in 4K but only in 360p :-)

On the other hand if you're well informed before buying such a card, that it will have reduced performance for crypto (or whatever) I guess it's ok and you can select something else.

We have to be realistic here and understand that on one hand NVIDIA hates miners since they're creating a shortage of cards for gamers but on the other hand they're the ones buying all new cards straight away for mining.

I think this is a marketing trick so that both gamers and miners are happy, RTX line for gamers and CMP line for miners, win-win for NVIDIA :-)
It is not myth. Some people get instantly addicted to heroin, others can continue using casually for years. We dont really know what exactly is different, but it cant be psychological only. The withdrawal symptoms are physical, not just how you feel emotionally.

> So Kudos to them for doing this

I'd rather they have scaled up the demand. They've had years of this to take the higher profits and invest them. Even if people don't use them for mining, the demand for Machine Learning is there - instead GeForce cards have been banned for use in data centers for years. Not to mention that the crippling of 3060 would be trivial for mining operations to get around.

Oh God I'm glad it's not just me that was feeling this. It's been pointedly obvious that there are narratives they want to push and there are clear newsworthy items that they do not cover for fear of making some groups look bad that would not look "woke". I've been forced to balance my news with right-leaning publications (NYPost... ew) just because they'll at least mention some events.
> But the NYT has drifted too far down the path of politically-correct fashions, and away from robust debate and discussion of challenging topics and how they intersect with real events.

> I should reiterate that this is not a right-left thing.

This very likely is a right-left thing:

* The NYT systematically avoided the term "torture" in everything except op-eds when describing the Bush admin's post-911 torture program[1]

It's difficult to think of a more dastardly use of political correctness than a newspaper employing a euphemism for torture that effectively softens the blow in their stories about a government torture program.

Obviously if you knew about this but still subscribed to NYT anyway while now unsubscribing for problems wrt left-thing political correctness, that's a "right-left thing." (And however bad we both agree their left-thing political correctness problem is, it can't possibly be worse than systematically dressing up torture.)

But even if you didn't know about it, it's still the same problem. At best your comment makes it seem like NYT gave in to its long-standing penchant for left-leaning fashions, and that ended up actually damaging its ability to do robust reporting. That interpretation makes a special case of the entire Keller period when the most important stories were scuttled in deference to the Bush administration. That period includes refusing repeatedly to run some of the most impactful stories-- like Jim Risen's on the Bush-Cheney domestic spying program-- because the government told them not to[2]. That period is in major "never forget" territory wrt to journalistic integrity.

> most startup options end up being worth less than the salary that one could’ve gotten at a non-startup

I took a lower salary to work at a startup I "believed" in. We were eventually acquired and my options were in the low six-figures when exercised. I worked there for 6 years. If I average the options profit and add it to my base salary, I'd have still been underpaid in the local area for my skills and experience level. And that's to say nothing of what the event did to my taxes that year.

> Nothing is worth working like a dog though. That’s always a bad trade.

I never worked like a dog for the place in my story, at least. It had a very sane work/life balance.
They do. The 5700XT is still an excellent card, the 6700 and 6700XT are coming out soon, and the 6800 and 6800XT are both absolutely killer cards as well, especially at the reference prices.

Vendors and demand have effectively driven prices to an insane amount, and you just can't get them, unfortunately. Short of AMD doing something like Nvidia is doing here, I doubt we'll see them on store shelves any time soon.
As Portugal shows, decriminalizing drugs reduces their use. The position you are mocking is actually consistent.
I'm not sure that changes anything. The human error here is in the design, not in the execution.
Christ I had no idea. I beg to differ, it's a HUGE issue.
Yes, while financially you may be better with BigCorp, there are some benefits of startups that I experienced first hand. First is the experience of being a fast-moving startup and the comradeship that you build with your colleagues. I'm still friends with people I worked with at my first startup 15 years ago. Second is the learning experience of being around very smart people. I learned so much in my 4 years at my first startup. From how startups work (and that my equity was worthless) to how to do modern (at the time) development in Java. Finally, as someone mentioned earlier, you get to see how your work moves the needle. That feedback cycle is addictive! Also, you can see when you screw up the opposite happen (I once personally caused a loss of a couple hundred dollars in revenue due to a bad SQL query).
I'm also in the UK but I wouldn't be at all surprised if a lot of people's liquid intake is more from alcoholic drinks than non-alcoholic ones.

I'm thinking of the office worker who might have a glass of orange juice, 2-3 cups of tea/coffee, then 2 pints after work most days.
Any time I see a "dry run" option in internal tools I tread very, very carefully :) Often they don't work due to lack of exercise, or worse are not dry at all.

Edit: in case that was snark: ha, ha.
> A usability professional would have caught that immediately - and would have been way cheaper.

To be fair, lots of risk-mitigation investments are cheaper in hindsight, once you know the risk actually got realized.
I'm guessing their 3060 product is their budget card so it's easier for them to limit performance on that.
Ambiguous UI for bank operations can be deadly
> Ordinarily, the law would be on Citibank's side here. Under New York law, someone who sends out an erroneous wire transfer—for example, sending a payment to the wrong account—is entitled to get the money back.

> But the law makes an exception when a debtor accidentally wires money to a creditor. In that case, if the creditor doesn't have prior knowledge the payment was a mistake, it's free to treat it as a repayment of the loan.

There's a major UI issue here, no doubt about it.

But, it's important to also point out how bizzare this exception is, how did this even get included as the one and only exception?
The whole browser situation at the moment is so incredibly frustrating. I will NOT browse the internet without a fully-fledged adblocker - no pihole is not enough.

This means pretty much only using Firefox - but I have about 10 tabs open at the moment, each using over 500mb of ram while idle. What on earth they are doing I don't know... and I find it very sluggish when playing video.

Chrome is my daily browser, even after they limited the number of rules that ublock origin can use. But it grinds to a halt on my top of the range macbook pro and uses 100% cpu if I open a couple of twitch streams and 20-30 other tabs.

Safari is a joy to use, much better on battery but webextension implementation means ublock origin is not possible.
You're not wrong, but knowing that most games are compatible with normal keyboards is small comfort when it turns out the one you bought isn't. Some games also just require so many key presses in some situations (e.g. local multiplayer on the same keyboard, for instance the lego star wars series or some 2d fighting games) that encountering ghosting is an inevitability.
Skunkworks, also what some deluded people believe you will remain/be when you get acquired by a big company.
The issue is limited upside if their risks work out, and career ending downside if their risks end in failure.
By crippling the product for miners, they're increasing the supply for gamers.
Nvidia uses boot-chain security to prohibit third-party drivers from using their GPUs - if you don't use Nvidia's own power-management blob, the card will lock itself to the lowest thermal bucket and highest fan speed until you reset it. It's arguably why they're able to segment their GPUs by application so effectively.
Government debt is literally sold. You can go buy it and invest in America, and you will receive your interest payments right on time like clockwork.

Likewise, when you pay your taxes, some of that goes to servicing that debt. You can look up how much of your federal tax bill went to paying debt holders.

The system only works as long as its trusted. If we just stopped paying interest on our debt, that trust would vanish overnight. As a result, the price of borrowing would skyrocket because who would invest in something that has demonstrated it doesn’t care about paying you back?

Likewise, if we do too silly monetary policy stuff, the trust will also disappear. Despite what the memes say, we can’t literally print infinite money and call it good. Fiscal policy isn’t a secret, it’s done in the open. The buyers of our debt know what they’re buying.
3 people were required to okay the transaction and none of them saw anything wrong with it. This is not just bad UI but bad user trainings as well. Mistakes happen and in systems as complex as these with very few visual cues this was an accident waiting to happen and when it did, it was an expensive one.

I was moaning when i had to use SAP for a little while
I suppose I'm free to not buy it.

As for a reason, why should they be able to dictate what the hardware they release is used for?
yes, 8ms sounds more correct than 12ms for best-case cable modem. It's 9-12ms for me.
These are the incoherent ramblings of someone that just took their freshman philosophy seminar...
Thanks. It is webP support in Safari that interests me (well, my friend...).

So this arrived in September 2020. What I want to know is if normal Apple users, i.e. not programmers, whether they can benefit from webP images yet, when using the default Safari browser.

I have no idea in this pandemic about basic things.
Living and working elsewhere with the wages of the region reduces expenses and opportunities; but the wealth of educational resources online [1][2] does make it feasible to even bootstrap a company on the side. Do you need to borrow money to scale quickly enough to pay expenses with sufficient cash flow for the foreseeable future?

> "Intrapreneurial." What does that even mean? The employee, within their specialized department, spends resources (time, money, equipment) on something that their superior managers have not allocated funding for because they want: (a) recognition; (b) job security; (c) to save resources such as time and money; (d) to work on something else instead of this wasteful process; (e) more money.
About 1/3 of lightning injuries occur indoors, per the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/lightning/victimdata.html (that's admittedly an injury figure, not a fatality figure, but it's probably wildly more common than you'd guess)
My understanding is that the ETH and other algorithms designed to be run on GPUs have big memory and memory bandwidth requirements, which is what makes it more difficult (or less cost effective?) to implement on an ASIC.

LE. I see you meant NVidia should be making the ASICs. In that case, that's exactly what they're doing, isn't it? This CMP line is exactly that.
Anybody who thinks this harm reduction strategy works should go visit cities that have employed it for years like Vancouver, Canada where there are legal shooting galleries everywhere, no arrests for personal amounts, and prescribed heroin that thousands of drug addicts have been on for 10 years now and the problem gets worse everyday. There used to just be a contained area of people passed out all over the street now it extends to the rest of the city. There is even a drug takers union that demanded treatment options be removed from drug taking clinics as 'it shamed drug users'.

So if you create an accomodating and encouraging area for taking heroin you will find it surges in population when heroin is freely available and detox discouraged. Everybody points to the European model but they must have done something different than just harm reduction, like proactive policing breaking up open air drug markets and shutting down slums teeming with addicts forcing them into detox.
Beacon chain is live with over $5 billion in ETH deposited so far, and has been running flawlessly since its December 1 launch. There are minor tweaks coming this summer. A few months after that, if everything still looks good, they'll migrate the legacy chain to it and proof-of-work on Ethereum will end.

The migration is a decent amount of work but it's not the difficult research task that the beacon chain was. Someone did a proof-of-concept in about a day, though the exact plan has changed since then.
Well, how many people will see this headline and rush off to a back alley to buy a shot of heroin from some junkie?

This comment is downvoted, but surprisingly it was the correct way to resolve the issue after attempting to "factory reset" an M1 Mac.
Unrelated, but is it a good idea make the names of those employees public? Wondering how this will end up affecting their lives, when in fact it was caused by a UI issue and lack of proper training on how to use it.
Just like all of the edge.org/Epstein people (if you’re unaware, Pinker is accused of raping a 15 year old girl and spent extensive time with Epstein), he’s all smoke and no substance. In fact the “third culture” group has proven to be amoral and completely corrupt.

I've been prescribed oxycontin several times over the years, and never completed a single bottle. Couldn't wait to stop as the pain subsided due to the brain fog. I think at most I completed one third of one.

Some people are definitely more prone or vulnerable to becoming addicted to it. Im lucky, I guess.
I’ve lost a close friend to heroin. But the vast majority or Vietnam soldiers who were doing heroin overseas stopped using without issue after coming home — an inconvenient truth for the chemical-centric model of addiction. In reality, it’s deep emotional pain or psychological distress that makes the difference between a person who gets addicted to drugs and a person who doesn’t, basically. Like everything else that is touched by dogma and epidemiology, this fact has been lost.
If it is not physically possible, this decision makes a lot of sense. Due to the global semiconductor shortage it simply is not possible to build more on the scale customers would like to.
It's kinda amazing that Nvidia could have increased the RRP for each of their 30 series cards by $300 and it'd still be in short supply.
Maybe she just didn’t have her wallet on hand to buy that burrito lol
Wouldn't that be the advice you would give a friend if they were fretting about something that had a very low likelihood of happening? Would you be happy with them spending energy on something that has no impact on their life?
Ditto. It was a long dormant account. It used an old password so I logged in, changed it to a unique one, then logged out.

I’m not sure I’m ready to chalk it up to nefarious motives. But it is quite suspicious.
>afaik the reactor at Fukushima was not old

That's not true. All of Fukushima reactors were constructed before Chernobyl's reactors. Fukushima's reactors are based on a 50's design by GE/Westinghouse.

They are very old to the point where they could be labelled ancient.
I never got to try a trackball. I remember that touchpads back in the day were garbage compared to touchpads now, though. I remember the Thinkpad nub was better than any touchpad I ever had until I got my first Macbook Pro. The Apple touchpads were so amazing I assumed they would eventually figure out keyboards, too. Still waiting ten years later.
> Does anyone know if there has been an increase in pedestrian fatalities in the last 5-10 years, on account of distracted drivers?

The answer to this is YES - there has been an increasing trend of pedestrian fatalities, at least in US/UK where i saw the statistics. 2018 was a local high for fatalities. It seems to correlate to smartphone uptake.

I don't have any evidence one way or the other but the tale of the functioning alcohol addict is one that shows up frequently in popular culture: dramatic films and novels. The narrative is only advanced by a conflict that results in some kind of climax resulting in redemption or doom. But in real life people probably just plod on.

I somehow get the feeling that this wasn't so much designed as evolved. There probably was (maybe still is) some kludgy program on a mainframe somewhere, written in Fortran or Cobol, and they just slapped a web interface inbetween.
That's for the people who already own the card.

If you're in the market for a new card and you have the option of a powerful, purpose-built card that works out of the box or one that needs endless tweaking, few people would choose the more complex option. Especially if it means every new driver that gets released is going to require days to make work properly.
Nvidia is nerfing its new RTX 3060 for Ethereum cryptocurrency mining
> I really wish Nvidia would do this across the RTX product line.

I'd rather they have scaled up the demand. They've had years of this to take the higher profits and invest them.

Wherw do you think he got these assertions? There have already been studies about how often heroin users are addicts or what the addiction rate of prescription opioids are.
California has tons of solar. It has so much solar that it’s paying other people to take energy during the peak of the duck curve.
>Who do we owe?

You can look this up. 21T is owned by the public (think retirement funds, pensions, etc., a lot of which own treasuries). Simply blowing off paying them would wreck the US economy and destroy lots of people. So it's real money owed to real people.

Foreign govts own around a third of the debt - same thing - they invested in US treasuries and those assets are intertwined in their economies, just like ours. Of this Japan has 1.3T and China 1T.

State and local US govts own around 1T for their pension funds.

So we owe it to any actor that has purchased US Treasuries, and that's a lot of people, big and small.

>it's fucking bananas nonsense

No it's not. It's simply big, but then again, so is the US and world economy. There is no goofy, ill-conceived, wholesale ignorant corruption going on.

> Is there a credit check?

Yes, it's the rate at which buyers willingly buy Treasuries on the open market. If enough people/institutions lower their trust, rates go up. It's as simple as that.

The main question is not how much debt the US carries, but can it afford to service the debt, and so far, that is a yes. Servicing the debt is around 10% of federal receipts, which is a decent chunk, but by no means debilitating.
Most U.S. firms hit with Covid-19 safety fines aren't paying up
They are correct that proof-of-stake doesn't solve the initial wealth distribution problem. ADA and XTZ solve it by pre-mining the coins.

Ethereum is instead solving it by having an initial proof-of-work period and then moving to proof-of-stake after some amount of mining and wealth distribution has already happened.
Ideally, nobody should ever be trained to memorize convoluted incantations to make software behave as expected. This is 100% bad design.
