My god, this whole thing went pear shaped so fast, it's incredible. I bet this launch will be taught in B-schools as a lesson for would be marketers.

Nvidia seemed to be doing the right thing at first, taking the concerns of their most enthusiastic customers seriously and doing something about it. Given how badly the company usually treats their customers, it seemed like a nice gesture.

Then the Internet trolls came out and accused the company of just giving the issue lip service, since it was obviously just a software fix, it wouldn't really stop the big crypto farms from using the cards. Nvidia is evil, as per normal.

Then the company responds with a lie, that it's actually a hardware implementation. No one believed it, but that's their story. Nvidia is trying to do the right thing.

Then all the gamers - most of whom aren't even in the market for a RTX 3060 - start flipping out about how the resale of the cards is going to be lower because they're all nerfed. So by charging full price for the card anyways, Nvidia is actually ripping them off!! Nvidia is evil again.

Then this screwups happens and everyone now is screeching about how they knew it all along and Nvidia is actually lying about EVERYTHING!! Maybe they're creating artificial shortages in the first place! It's all a conspiracy man!!

I don't think I've ever seen an reasonable idea like this go tits up so fast. Remember when Netflix announced Quickster and it bit them in the ass so hard they had to cancel the whole spinoff? This is what this reminds me of: Good intentions badly implemented.
It says 120tw/h a year right there, which is the same as bitcoin now. Do you think it's a bogus paper or what are arguing against?

I agree with the criticism about bitcoin, I just find gaming industry as useless burning carbon and trying to milk money from the naive.
That just seems an excessive amount of text! But the Linux kernel repo (.git + working copy) is over 7GB.

It turns out folks can write an ungodly amount of code.
We had to write our own Scanner class in our Java classes because the version of Java we were using didn't have that functionality yet. It came out in the middle of the course.
Ah yes, I’ll make my critical infrastructure totally dependent on some outside consultant who may or may not be around when I really need him. That sounds like a great strategy. /s
Please don't change titles so drastically.

Original: "Uber to pay drivers a minimum wage, holiday pay and pensions"

This is after Uber lost a legal battle over this issue, per the article. It seems the decision was going to be made for them.
and? We still have people dying of starvation world wide. We have scads of homeless in the richest country on earth. Why do you think anyone will care at all?

Love it, I really hope the idea of more 'crafted' laptops and computers catches on. Ideally with more open source and more repairability. It is something I miss from the "good old days."
WebForms is still one of the quickest things to actually build intranet applications with and it still does it incredibly well.

If I wanted to have a editable table (datagrid) control it literally took about 20 minutes and I had something working and people could use it.

The problem with it (much like Angular which btw is basically webforms for JavaScript) is that it required you learning how the event lifecycle worked properly. Whereas other things at the time were web scripts and you could just hack against.

It of course had a lot of problems (like everything on the web at the time) but for what it was actually intended for, it was actually really good.
Why virtual mirrors are popular in VRChat
Me waves to the security state "dudes" on this sight! Good to see you here!

A PR battle to change the law is a PR battle so you can sell a change in the law taking away people's rights.

Officer Sicknick didn't have his head smashed by a fire-extinguisher in the riot, so apparently that was also false. Many haven't heard that yet and bristle that it was a lie, but it was. The corrections are now there but just whispered. Disinformation that is great support a war on domestic terror to get the security state more unchecked power. Power wants more power no matter what ideology wields it, it would seem. I guess I should have pointed out more explicitly just how much of the law-enforcement claims reported in the article was also totally unsupported by evidence. I will believe it when there is evidence and not before because I've been had by law-enforcement press-release stenography enough now that my default position has gone from "probably true" to "probably false" absent evidence. I doubt I'm alone in that change.

"Given that the services provided by the organization seem to be almost exclusively criminal in nature, the federal prosecutor's office decided at the end of 2018 to open an investigation against SKY ECC and against the people who make these phones available to the criminal community,"

See that? Providing encrypted messaging is "almost exclusively criminal in nature". This the the PR battle that exists and is escalating. This one is the latest shot.

FBI, CIA, NSA, they hate the idea you can talk to someone in private without leaving a permanent record. They just hate it. "If you have nothing to hide why do you wear pants?!?"

So what else will come in the PR war on encryption other than "Domestic terrorists" and "Organised crime."

Will nobody think of the children!?!

It is building and will come, no matter how much you dislike the orange idiot, love your country and believe in law-abiding truth, justice and all that good stuff.

Is end to end encryption worth anything? I strongly suspect it has negative worth to facebook.
Makes me wonder what you would think about DeluxePaint (amiga) which was amazing for pixel perfect graphics.
I had the optometrist write it down. I needed replacement lenses for my good glasses (broke one) and the best deal (by far) was Costco. The guy ignored the optometrist's PD and measured it himself with a gadget he had and the number was quite different. The glasses came out OK though they don't guarantee satisfaction putting new lenses in an old frame they don't have data for.

For ordering with Zenni, I tried the binocular method and then, I think averaged that with the other two numbers. The Zenni glasses are also fine. Sensitivity to centering may be greater if you have strong cylindrical. In my case it's less than 1/4 the spherical.

The $20 Zenni frames aren't quite as light or nearly indestructible as the $400 frames of my 22 year old good glasses. Plus you have to bend the little nose pad things yourself to get a comfortable fit. But now that I wear Zenni glasses around the house all the time, I've gotten used to them, and I may have bought my last pair of expensive glasses ever. Don't mail order frameless or bifocal glasses though.
I don't have any write-ups from myself. I was planning on eventually posting something, I have a lot of notes to sort through.

You can find some info by searching, there has been a few attempts to get it running on Android. Also just searching around github will net some other attempts.

The foundation dependency is the biggest problem. You can check out https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation which gets rid of the objc runtime dependency for other platforms, though you will find yourself writing implementations for each eventually.

I would say if you are going to stay with just Android/iOS to look into maybe moving to Kotlin or C for your common layer and then call it from Swift. Kotlin multi-platform also has been improving recently.

EDIT: Also look at the Swift github, there are some docs about different platforms. https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/docs/Android.md
Do you want just 20 minutes of battery charge or what?
There is no such thing as a "royalty holder." Record labels are copyright holders. The record labels pay out royalties. Royalties are paid to performers, songwriters and publishing companies. For streaming the record label pays two types of royalties - a mechanical royalty and a performance royalty.
This.

I worked at Amazon during this time on our custom web server and before that I had been using telnet to hand type my commands or various perl scripts I wrote to emulate a browser's requests. And... ugh, tcpdump to figure out what exactly browsers were sending before they got to apache.

Firebug was like magic!
This is a pretty fun idea to think about. Does the energy from the animal that walks on the wood cost the animal extra energy or does the energy come from the efficiency loss from walking (whatever that means?)?
I remember running in a frame set just so I could document.write instead of a million window.alert. Fun times.
So has anyone else with the requisite background engaged with this argument? It sounds somewhat dubious to me but I can't pretend to have sophistication on this subject.
Isn't bribe-taking the poster child "corruption" activity? Or do you mean "lining their pockets" in another sense?
There's two separate use cases/markets both wanting the same product with significantly different budgets - gaming and crypto mining.

The crypto mining market has way more money to burn because they're making it back over time via mining, which means that unless there's enough supply for both markets the gaming market gets (almost) nothing until the crypto mining market has bought all the cards they want.

I have no idea what the solution to this problem is, and I don't think poorly designed driver restrictions is it. But it is an actual problem.

Are there any historical examples of similar situations?
>someone makes a claim that "AZ cuases bloog clots", I'm not sure if they ever looked into estimating and then comparing the said probabilities.

I understand the stakes here regarding this discussion topic, but your tone is undeserved and unwarranted.

>No, AZ does not cause blood clots. It's being investigated for it.

Why is it being investigated for that specific side-effect?

>You should trust the system and the process.

Which system? Which process?

If I'm German, French, Italian or Spanish then the system and process are at-odds with the AstraZeneca vaccine, no?

Do we all just trust that our particular governing body is the all-wise entity that GotItRight, when opinions across the world and their respective governing bodies don't necessarily agree with one another?

hard to blindly trust 'the system and process' at this point when 'the system and process' are fractured and dissimilar in nearly every region of the world.

Some government must be making worse decisions than the rest.

Blindly encouraging trust in unknown systems across the world at large isn't great for everyone.

>And even if it does cause, you should take into account the probability.

Absolutely agree.
It's an open letter, which contains zero data or even references for the claims being made. Looks like nothingburger to me (a non-epidemiologist)
For those looking for details, I remember watching a Linus Tech Tips video on it a while ago. Just managed to dig it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY4s35uULg4

A horse can't change their circumstances the way humans can. A horse can't learn to provide different value. It can only be a horse.
It's not even from 2001. There's a changelog and release dates right there in the beginning of the script. Last update was in 2017 and is version 4.2.

Yep, my cringe is triggered by "retro" pixels that are perfectly square with impossibly sharp edges/borders between neighbours. The CRT shaders we have these days are pretty good at turning raw pixels into something that looks "about right" so there's no excuse [not even laziness] for dumping raw unfiltered pixels to the screen.
Maybe what we could do in a much more short term is another "Mother of all Demos" [1], focused on more than just the future of computing technology?

Have calls to action/RFPs, and have a conference of some sort - the goal is to have one cohesive demo per track. Distribute this thinking across the world, like Pioneer.app does instead of consolidating it in one country or geographical area.

And live cast it to everyone.

The Zero-Cost is showing in the 8.3 second load time I get on the first page. Second, if you want to take up space in LinkedIns market, you need to copy the pros of that platform. Good luck.
Also quite toxic for your brand, since those used cards may have been run under high power loads and at high temperatures for a long time - the card may wear out sooner and make the gamer unhappy that it was "unreliable" and they wasted their money
I am a bit out of my depth here, but from what I understood, it is not a normal kind of thrombosis, but more an interaction of the immune system with the thrombocytes in the brain which actually causes bleedings, so aspirine or any other blood thinner would not be helpful.
A lot of tech-savvy people complained YouTube had worse video quality and fewer features than Google Video. Obviously it didn't matter.

I absolutely hate viewing text on my LO-DPI PC vs my 6 year old HD-DPI Macbook Pro or either my 4 year old android smartphone or my 1 year old iPhone or my 7 year old iPad. It's like playing a NES game vs a PS4 Game. Sure some are fun and it's nostalgic but the world as moved on and lo-res is old.
AAA does this kind of calculation in more detail and publishes its results regularly for the average cost per mile driven for an average car owner in the US. It's on the order of about a dollar per mile, depending on the kind of car. Average sedan is about half a dollar, so you are still out by a factor of 10. It's obviously going to be higher in certain places too, like in cities, where there are extra and higher costs to car ownership.
Escape Zoom Meetings by Faking Technical Issues and Crying with This App
I do dislike them too.

It would be better for that keypad to be on the left side, as it interferes less with mouse use.

But, a friend of mine, was asking specifically to get a laptop with such an extended keyboard.
Apple offers 2,400 icons for free
In most Office apps you can make this Alt + 1 by setting "Paste As Plain Text" as position 1 in the Quick Access Toolbar (the small list of icons in the top left of the app). But yes, would love for this to be a universal Windows command.
For me the concept of Solarpunk(as opposed to cyberpunk) is leaning in the right direction that way.

Solarpunk needs a lot of development though. One issue seems to be it too often coincides with someone's idea of a futuristic Utopia.

Hence it is conflict free, rather boring and doesn't do much to stir interest.
problem with Todoist or any other apps is , requires you to go and see whats on your todo list. if there is a way that it can come to me.
From what was just shown on the TV, it is currently more like 30-40% AZ vaccinations.
>EDIT: One unbelievably good point I initially forgot: You can run a VM with GPU passthrough on the laptop. If you need Windows with graphics performance, especially on the go, this is an incredible advantage.

Can you speak more to this? Does Pop_OS! configure this (more-or-less) out of the box? Would it work with any Nvidia card or are there restrictions?

I'm interested in such a setup and have done research from afar. I've developed on Linux for years, but have heard GPU passthrough can be difficult unless you wrangle drivers a bit.

EDIT: I'd also like to use it for CUDA in Linux. Do you have to reboot when enabling GPU passthrough (not a dealbreaker, just curious)?
thanks will take a look.
Researcher Claims to Find Fast Classical Algorithm for Factoring Large Integers
I'd claim traditional databases as an example of a secure distributed ledger of financial transactions. Every single credit card processing network does exactly this. What cryptocurrencies do is add "trustless" as a requirement, and that's where the power consumption comes in. I also think that's a weird requirement to have, precisely because treating every interaction as adversarial introduces so much overhead.
Adding externalities is at the mandate of the regulator, like a governor - too tight and it stops, too loose and we all get cooked in time.
So there needs to be a 'tightening of the screw' proportionally to force people to get rid of cars - ending with zero ic cars are still allowed to run. We have to do this, the climate prognosis is stark if we carry on.
I can see a time when gas/coal power plants become targets of cruise missiles that appear and do enough damage to make it shut down, repeat if needed.
that shows you what I know, I thought that it was already part of the kernel...
Are you in favor of banning movies too then? We burn a lot of resources (both physical resources and electricity) to film and distribute and show movies, and we could repurpose all of that for other pursuits
Big discussion yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26469454
All these “it takes 10 minutes” should really be “it takes 10 minutes plus several hours/days/weeks actually learning how to run and maintain all this stuff”.
There is also the thing that nvidia wants to get people on board the RTX train as quickly as possible, that is fairly long term strategic initiative. And miners absolutely do not help there.
Nowhere in what makes a proper container does a VM come into play, unless we are speaking about Docker and the idea of shipping a full blown OS in a zip, to work across heterogeneous hardware.

Google Video player used flash.
Well, there's slight of hand here on CGP Grays part (and sleight of hand in other parts of the video as well), since horses are not doing work out of their own volition and to meet their own needs. Correct for that, and the same will be true for horses - they're not going to run out of work to do until they've fulfilled their desires.

Now, I'm talking about typical desires as they stand now. Obviously you can have people creating increasingly exotic and bizarre desires to the point where it's impossible to satiate them all ("I want to own Antarctica"). It's also possible to hit resources limits, but that's a separate problem from "running out of work because of automation."

Consider a case where person A builds widget X, and person B builds widget Y, and they trade with each other. Automation takes over, they lose their jobs. If they continue getting the widgets they used to trade for (which are now created automatically), they simply have the same wealth as before but more time. If they don't have the widgets, they're now detached from the new automated widgets both in production and consumption. There's no reason they couldn't carry on the same work as before and continue to trade with each other. This might require societal and political will (they might need some sort of support to reach their previous arrangement), but if the desire for their old work is there and not being met, then there is work to be done.

I think you got that backwards. It's life that sucks, not the dreams ("Here I am with a brain the size of a planet and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper...")

Sleep deprivation has effects similar to alcohol consumption: impaired reasoning ability leads to mild euphoria because you forget about your conflicts and are also happily expectant to go _back to bed_ very soon.
BTC uses most of the energy relating to cryptomining, and people almost certainly aren't buying GPUs in bulk to mine bitcoin since ASICs are far more efficient.
Right, my point is you can do all this with a bus or BRT without needing the extra expense of using a streetcar.
NFT guide- How to create and deploy an ERC-721
This guide will cover creating and deploying our very own ERC-721 (NFT) using the 0xcert/ethereum-erc721 smart contract library.
I'm sure you mean well, but "we'll figure out sustainability later" has huge negative trust value to me. That's basically what LinkedIn did and it has not worked out well for me. The incentives for eternal revenue growth are incredibly strong, and I have no reason to think you're uniquely capable of resisting them for the next 20 years. I'm am unlikely to go through all the switching cost just to help create a different hegemon.
This is a great idea!

It is also far more ergonomic than the current status quo.
Kotto starred in "Blue Collar", a tremendously unappreciated film, alongside Richard Pryor and Harvey Keitel. Good home video editions exist; go seek it out for his sake (and for Pryor's, as this was one of his best roles)
AS a dev i contacted someone i think it was on founders nation. In the end we did my idea haha.
I respect Sam and believe that his thinking is usually a few years ahead of mine - with passage of time, I generally tend to agree with his statements more and more. He seems really bullish on AI, and while he might be a bit biased based on his current role, I think that his public statements are truly authentic because he's putting his money where his mouth is (he left a coveted role at YC for his current role at OpenAI).

That just makes me worry that we're likely to enter an AI cycle in entrepreneurship that will be characterized by high barriers to entry for new entrepreneurs. I have so many ideas for future companies, and none of them will be feasible if in each vertical I have to compete against companies with mature AI capabilities. I suppose there is a possibility of someone offering AI as a service that will be good enough to go up against the FAANG companies, but I imagine that anyone with such capabilities might be more likely to just own the whole opportunity (eg: Red Antler switching from helping startups with brand building to Red Antler building their own brands). I think there are still opportunities out there for a VC-backed company that starts out in a garage, but that window seems to be closing - for both, entrepreneurs and VCs as well (FAANG companies are not going to take any venture capital).

I really hope I am wrong and would love to hear counterpoints (apart from the usual "they have been saying this for the last 50 years and it always turned out different"). It's important to realize that 50 years ago the world was very different for entrepreneurs, and I have no reason to believe that the current cycle is just that - a cycle that will pass and that the world will return to its previous state of making it exceptionally difficult to go up against big companies. The best counterargument I can offer is PG's essay on the history of corporations and how startups will become a permanent part of our future (don't have the time to look up the link, but hope that someone else can find it).
Having a proper doc type and having a specific IE stylesheet that added zoom:1 property to element could fix a lot of that off the bat and was a simple one to include on a webpage. Transparent PNGs of course wouldn't work (well there was a way but it was an arcane trick and I can't remember it for the life of me now).

TBH I found cross platform development during that time easier than when smart mobile phones came out. There was about 20-30 slightly incompatible forks of the Android Browser/Webkit and the processors were slow and everything was JS. Blackberry OS was still a thing. I also don't miss the problems with iPhone 3GS and 3D background layer flickering.

Also programming cross platform at the time showed me how to write lightening fast JS. That has made me a lot of money when people come to me to fix their crap web apps.
How does it work at the molecular level?

Can it be synthesised and manufactured at scale? If so, for what net energy loss/gain over the lifecycle of the material, and at what cost?
