That's the same idea as for GeForce/Quadro. Gaming GPUs are crippled so that they work poorly with professional software (ex: CAD).

AMD does the same thing with Radeon/FirePro.

I don't expect Nvidia to give up on that. And to be honest, for me personally, it is a good thing. I don't mine and I don't CAD, having GPUs unavailable for the former and overpriced for the latter results in more affordable prices for myself.
As someone who works on EIS/EIRs it blows my mind as well. But I do think that it's important to balance the interests of the community with the project, and I'm not sure that limiting litigation (as the paper suggest) would help with that.
That script is never going to be simple in a few years. You're going to keep adding features to it with time until it badly implementsa tiny fraction of what you already had available in your init system. The question could be: why spend time rewriting a broken restart script if you already have a good version available behind a config switch.

If you don't like how long that man page is, you should check the size of bash+nohub man page which you'd otherwise need :-)
You're giving me flashbacks to when I had to compile my own kernel for ubuntu on a macbook.

Can already do this on the Tesla. It’s not solar, but cracking the windows and running the fans to keep it vented isn’t going to burn more than a mile or two of range.

The best way to spend money improving an EV is almost always going to be on batteries or weight reduction. Self charging is neat, but unless you get much more efficient solar arrays, it’s always going to be limited to niche applications. Five miles more range is always going to be useful, solar arrays which add a mile or two of range under specific conditions are far less interesting.
Certainly it's harder to get to Mars, but is the environment more hostile than on the moon?

Mars has something of a CO2 atmosphere, and might have more accessible water. The soil may be more usable as well.
Just picked up a Thinkpad P14s with the 4750u (8 core 16 threads) for about $600 using corporateperks.com discount. Spent another $250 for 1tb m.2 and 32gb ram upgrade. The value is tremendous.
This is basically the generic singularity blogpost that comes out every few months or so. And at this point could probably be written by GPT-3, would be a nice experiment if someone could tell the difference

Either way two major things wrong with this. First off, there isn't actually a whole lot of evidence that we're living in the most innovative time in history and that the robots are coming for us. Productivity growth is low, employment is high. If technology was eliminating labour, the opposite would be happening. We'd be growing at 7% per year while we'd have bazillions of unemployed people roaming the street.

Secondly, and this is very typical for SV liberalism/centrism there is absolutely no understanding of power in this article and we just solve things by doing 'the right policies' which is 'simple' and then everything is fine. Of course if that was so simple we'd already be doing it to begin with.

We don't need some futuristic 2200 utopia to solve child poverty. We actually could do all the things mentioned in the article literally right now. You could have been taxing the shit out of land in 1800. The question Sam Altman needs to answer is why the technolords of the future don't just simply hire some Terminator Pinkertons to mow down everyone who wants to get their hands on some of their riches.
The chemical composition of snow tires is completely different compared to an all season tires. All season tires get hard whereas snow tires stay soft. That is why you can't keep snow tires on all year is because they will wear really fast in hot temps because the rubber is soft to begin with.

As someone that works for a civil engineering consultant in the transportation field I can attest to the bureaucracy from the State leading to higher costs. We routinely increase our bids because we know that the amount of time spent dealing with them will be large and delt with by a high paided, often highest paid, person on the project. There are quite a few things that we do to appease them people at state DOTs that we don't have to worry about when working with a City or private entity.

It come down to two things, in my opinion. First is the nightmare that is Federal funding. The State administers the funding and has to take funding for multiple Federal programs a put it toward a given project. Ultimately they pass the paperwork off to the consultant instead of doing it themselves.

Second is the number of people in positions of power that are only in that position due to time spent with the State. These individuals are ineffective at their job (see point 1), and feel they have to justify their position by critiquing stupid things. One example is when we tried to use a different san serif font and column justification on a report. We got a stearns talking to about how ariel is the preferred font and left justified is the preference of the individual. This of course took a half hour meeting that likely cost north of $500 when you account for the wages of the engineers involved.

It is hard to argue with that. Anecdote time. My neighbors were petitioning against a library being built next to them, because:

1. It would add noise to otherwise comatose street
2. It would serve as a gathering ground for kids

Both are true complaints ( and to an extent I would even say valid ).

What happened was what seems to happen in similar cases. They were assured, the library would only remain so big, but those promises were quickly abandoned in ways not dissimilar to the way US handled Indian treaties.
I think the author overstates the difference between cloud and on-prem. for example:

> For example, open S3 buckets were never an issue in the datacenter world.

they totally were, and they were called "open ftp servers". A lot of information was leaked this way.

Things are slightly different in cloud world - you need to watch bucket policies instead of ftp server and firewall configs - but this is not a substantial change. The core process of security team stays the same.

Most apps could really be Progressive Web Apps, using html css and javascript with local caching and storage. Both angular and react can handle running PWAs as do many other frameworks, and it's not rocket science to make a PWA. Even Parler had a PWA people could use when they got pulled from the store.

The problem is that the extra few steps to install a PWA (which is really just a webpage bookmark you put on your home screen plus some local caching) are a lot of friction. The hilarity after Parler got pulled was non techies trying to describe installing a PWA to each other and failing at it.

You also lose a lot of "organic" search results with a PWA. You don't get the app marketplace searching/related results like Google Play or the Apple Store has if you aren't in the marketplace. If you do both marketplace apps and encouraging people to install PWAs instead of your app, that's now less downloads in the app store and therefore lower rankings. It's doable to make a PWA instead of or in addition to an app, and that means you're still a usable service if you get pulled from stores, but it's not straight forward or perfect right now. The push to make Google and Apple let apps stay in their stores is the wrong push -- instead the push should be for more straight forward PWA support.
Uniswap in 2020. So much easier to buy any altcoin compared to making an account, passing KYC and sending crypto first on all other exchanges.

Yeah, but that enables you to declare another variable named `S` and it'll compile. The tag name space is still there, and still causes problems. The typedef approach ensures you won't have problems.

People have learned to deal with the quirky behavior of the tag name space, but it's still quirky and serves no purpose.

I wrote Bjarne back in the 1980s that the tag name space should be removed from `class` as that wasn't necessary for backwards compatibility with C. He replied no as it would have broken compatibility with existing C++ code.

To add to that, a step to use anything from Google is a step onto Google's infamous "deprecation treadmill". A rather frustrating lifestyle (unless you are inside Google and your code gets updated/maintained in the monorepo).
I encourage you to look into it yourself, and if you find something egregious (and it looks like your odds are good), make a ruckus in the channels that matter to the decision makers. (Finding the decision makers will take time, too!)

Complacency in government contracts is standard, and you have to make noise before anything changes, and its work that does NOT scale. (Although I'd love to see standard data practices help reduce the time commitment required to do this kind of data activism.)

One of the best things you could do with this information is show up and yell about it at any and all public hearings. Anyway, I wish it was "sexier" to make trouble for local government that deserves it, but really its always a long paperwork slog.
Once again you're using one coin to represent the entire industry. You don't understand the technology and how it will penetrate every sector of society. Bitcoin is the KittyHawk of aviation.

>waste we still have no real way to reliably deal with

What is your idea of a "real way to reliably deal with waste"? Waste in general is stored or burned all over the world. Nuclear waste is best stored, at NPPs or at dedicated sites. Which is already done since the beginning. It is a non problem.

Naïvely, "more panels == more electricity". But since we haven't run out of efficient places to put panels, that means any put in ridiculous places (on top of cars; under sidewalks etc) are not a good use of panels.

Panels must be positioned to face the sun, must be unobscured, must be in daylight during prime hours to make it worthwhile. Car roofs are often none of those things.

You want car parks turned into solar stations? Then mount them in the car park over the cars, angled at the sun permanently. Its a simple change, cheaper, and works many many times better. And gets crap off your car making it lighter and reducing drag.
An EIS can be useful cudgels to impede construction. In Seattle, one portion of a very controversial multi-use trail had an EIS that took "more than three years at a cost of $2 million. That’s less than 7 feet of trail studied per day at a cost of $271 per foot. And that doesn’t include any construction." [1] And that's from 2015, and the trail still isn't completed (lawsuits are still ongoing).

That's true today, but will it remain true when the cryptocurrency bull run ends, we enter a bear market, and mining becomes far less profitable? Not just that, but the most profitable coin to mine, Ethereum, is on track to move away from Proof-of-Work, so we can expect a lot of second-hand cards to be sold at fire-sale prices in 2022.
I could see some of the warmups used at parties, a few are fun to play with a sig fig or on a road trip.

Another game in the same vein : assign each player a unique alphabet letter. Starting clockwise, each player states a word starting with their letter.

If someone pauses for more than 3 seconds (6 steps if playing while walking) another person may say a word for that letter. We keep score by how many words you helped with (stole from) others. Each word should be unique, you can’t state a word used before. Continue until at destination.

To increase difficulty: when the initial player is reached (after a full round), reverse the direction (if clockwise, go counterclockwise) of play. When a reversal occurs take the letter from the person who goes after you in the clockwise direction.

I agree you probably won't find this in a laptop ever, thanks to the standard keyboard design still being stuck with strange quirks, some of which were already outdated in the era of actual typewriters.

That said if you're a numpad user a keyboard with centered numpad is pretty much the best concept other than the rabbit hole of custom ergonomic keyboard layouts. Either way you can only get into that realm with a lot of money unfortunately.
I find this part highly suspicious and it calls into question the motives of the "leaker" and wisdom of publishing this article. If someone wanted to discredit the vaccine finding some internal document around a process failure (even a temporary one), doctoring parts of it to make it more dramatic, and finding someone who will write about it is a good way to go about it.

By the time the correction is published for the doctored material, or the matter is contextualized, the fear will have already spread.

Why is the future always just a catalog of cool shit you might be able to buy one day if they figure out how to make it?
Fair question. I did anticipate it, as my argument wasn't watertight.

I mean to say that the sheer variety aggravates our boundless appetites, which are difficult to restrain as-is. Couple that with the unhealthy eating habits our modern age "encourages" (I put it in air quotes because we have personal agency to push back). And we can see where this is going. The details are very much debatable, but the broader point stands.
Yes, exactly this, they bought STB Systems and began manufacturing their own boards. I wasn't sure how much of the manufacturing process this entailed.
A lot of people have taken a rather negative interpretation of this post. I certainly see how it could be read that way, but let's for a second assume that maybe the author is just a little tone-def, perhaps didn't score top of the class in social awareness (a trait perhaps others here might share).

Perhaps what the author meant by saying that they are a small fleet owner is that they for professional reasons are highly aware of side=effects and negatives consequences of salting roads, things which also hit people who don't have a fleet of cars they are managing.

When you have a fleet, you have more data points than when you only have a single car.

And yes, I've been poor and homeless myself, so I am speaking from an understanding of what it means to be on the edge (and sometimes on the wrong side of the edge).
the search feature does not seem to work. the web page shows an animation of typing a search into a drop down dialog box. When I install the trial, it does not allow me to enter anything here.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply! As I don't know much about the US, I thank you for linking those documents, will make good reading.

I agree that my first argument was hollow and I don't blame it all on social media. I guess the "social media" aspect of HN actually makes me sometimes rewrite my speech to make more impact than to be 100% expanded to explain my viewpoint, mostly to not bore people.
>> With hindsight, you could have invested in all kinds of stupid things and still have made money.

> Exactly, thanks for proving my point. It's stupid easy to make money by investing it right now so why are you telling people not to do it?

I didn't prove your point, and if believe what you just wrote, I don't think you should be investing.

But you can prove me wrong by correctly telling me when the cryptocurrency bubble will burst. After all, it's not stupid easy to make money unless you sell at the right time.
This isn't right. Risk from overdoses of drugs, poison, and allergens is *highly* nonlinear. It'd be exceptionally unlikely in the case of mRNA vaccine, but that's the case the majority of the time.

There's a specific minimum dosage most people have of allergen before they hit on a life-threatening reaction. You might be okay with trace amount of peanuts, swell up with one peanut, and die with five. It's pretty consistent, and very nonlinear.

That's why you can build up a tolerance to iocane powder too; small doses won't do anything, while large ones are guaranteed to kill. If it was linear, a 1/10th lethal dose would have a 10% chance of killing you.
To me this all reads as corruption. You know why SpaceX can build a new rocket, faster, better, cheaper? Because there’s little corruption - aka bureaucrats, who’s sole job is to justify themselves.

In a lot of ways, yes. Kicking projects back for more environmental review has recently become a method to delay/soft cancel projects that are now out of vogue. FERC recently kicked a proposed LNG terminal in Oregon back for more environmental review[1], the Biden admin revoking the permit for Keystone XL, and so on. (I would note I am in support of both of those moves)

I think AT&T's port of V7 (or something close to V7, I guess it was probably actually a variant of PWB) to run on top of TSS/370 really is meaningfully more complex because in order to understand it you also have to understand IBM TSS/370 and the interactions between TSS/370 and Unix.

Comes off as very conspiratorial, and self-inconsistent. For example, saying that it is a clandestine weapons program gone awry, and was inadvertently released; but also that China is now near the G20 GDP apex and its economy has been unaffected, as if somehow that was part of the strategy. Just seems more likely to be ineptitude and misfortune than intent.

This sort of opposition is usually effected through the environmental review phase, as noted. It's a cleverly named little barrier that lets a lot of meddling happen — because after all, only evil people who hate the environment would oppose environmental review. In places like San Francisco, in particular, there are many "stakeholders" who use the threat of litigation in this phase to extract concessions, whether that's NIMBYism, or preferring union labor, or some "environmental justice" concerns that can only be remedied by paying someone's favorite nonprofit — it's a shakedown.
It's used as a political tool to block construction for NIMBY reasons, and as a way to line the pockets of those involved in the study.
I can understand the resistance to traditional operator overloading, but something like implementing a Monoid interface which specifies operator methods might work. I think the sort of value types that people are likely to implement with Valhalla will make the case for this much stronger.
