Sure but the difference with mining is that having a majority of hashrate doesn't allow you to maintain that majority in perpetuity. You have constant operating expenses that require you to sell your Bitcoin, along with constantly growing competition. Just look at the rise and fall of large Bitcoin miners. With PoS if you are the biggest on day 1 you will probably be the biggest on day 1,000.

This is actually groundbreaking technology. If this gets widely deployed and then evolves we're looking at telepresence as the next step in ambient computing. When the technology fades into the background that's when you know things are going to be remarkably different. This is quite honestly going to be as close to teleportation as we get.
You can copy the code but not the money. A distributed exchange with no traders isn't very useful, for example.
Seems like such an obvious feature to have!
C and C++ still seem to be prevalent. At least in my experience, rust on a microcontroller is still mostly theoretical. There's plenty of obscure languages, though, both compiled and interpreted / virtual machine based.

For "embedded" linux grade CPUs, rust is starting to gain some practical traction. A few years ago the idea of writing application level glue code in it was still a bit silly, but these days it's starting to actually get linked into production systems. It all seems to be done in a way that's interoperable with existing C/C++ codebases, though.

I never planned to mine cryptocurrency but such a move sends a very bad message to me as an end user.

Fine, NVIDIA. I planned to have a dedicated Win10 gaming PC with an RTX 3090 and a separate Linux workstation but I guess it's better if I just get the Threadripper Pro workstation and equip it with an AMD 6900XT and do both my work and gaming under Linux. Will spend 40-50% less money, too.

And Steam is getting better and better at gaming under Linux with each passing week so the Linux users automatically get in a better position with time.

If that's how you want to play, good luck to you, NVIDIA. You just lost a future customer.

> What kind of a mental process should a brain perform to conclude, that it is a bug in a website, and not in their extension, which is supposed to remove ads.

On the other hand you know how ad blocking works and if it’s not too much effort just change the class name?

If your website behaves like malware is it really the fault of antimalware software that blocks it? If there was a better way to detect malware, sure, but heuristics is the best we’ve got and they do sometimes break - if it’s not too much effort to make your website not behave like malware why not do it?

I fully agree with you about other, more intrusive site-modifying extensions, but ad-blockers are fairly lightweight and only target behavior that looks malicious, and it’s fairly easy not to trigger them.

As of writing, a Bitcoin transaction costs $4.76.

The last time I received a Bitcoin payment, it cost $0.36 in network fees. The network is currently more congested, so the fees are higher at the moment.
Not really, C is pretty deeply entrenched in the embedded world. Unless you want to bitbang something like a USB host, you’ll be relying on vender libraries, and those libraries are overwhelmingly developed in C. Same is true for pretty much the entire build chain, debug tools, etc.

Sadly this is wrong. Nothing to do with leftism, rightism, ... Any mass ideology has the same problem: half the people in the world are below-average.

Which means that any movement that grows consists of ever more below-average people. There is no movement of more than a few thousand people which is significantly above average unless a ridiculously high cost is paid for this to happen.

Therefore any theory that has political parties on board in any country is very accomodating of idiots. Half of them are idiots.

Currently, you'd have to pay $2500 or more to buy a scalped card anyway unless you get really, really lucky with something like the Newegg Shuffle.

If they break the mining incentive, they're going to drop the price of these cards and also make them more available.

I'd rather have a hashrate limited card that I can actually buy at a reasonable price than a fully unlocked card that can't be obtained for anything less than 3X MSRP.

Why is it self-absorbed for someone to include themselves in the conversation, but it's not self-absorbed for you to come up to me and talk to me about your guitar playing?

You can come up to me and say, "Hey, guess what!? I just started playing guitar!" And I can't say, "No kidding? My mom just started playing guitar, too!" or, "No way! I just started drumming a few weeks ago. Maybe we can jam soon?"

How is my response "self-absorbed" but you starting a conversation about yourself isn't?

If you start the conversation, I'm just supposed to keep asking you questions about your experience until you're done talking about it?

I mean, if we're friends, shouldn't you care about what I think is relevant as much as I should care about what you think is relevant?

And anyway, if you _really_ want to talk about how it's going - can't you just take the conversation there?

I understand if you say something like, "Nice. I've always wanted to learn to play, and I never thought I could, and already I've learned so much, and I'm getting close to being able to play my favorite song."

And I say, "Oh, cool. Hopefully you can play my favorite song next. But it's really hard, you'll probably need a few years. You know, I used to be friends with Kurt Cobain's assistant, right? That's how I got into music in the first place....."

^ That seems self-absorbed. The first seems like genuine conversation.
I have had airlines do a weird form of this all the time. Particularly Delta, IIRC. "Only 2 seats left at this price." Which is already bad, since what are the chance that those aren't two middle seats half a plane apart? But then you click in to purchase, and there will be zero seats at the listed price. I don't know what the point was — there was never going to be a sale, because the offered price never really existed, and it only ever serves to reinforce that I should have just taken the offer from SWA in the first place, because they continue to be the airline that screws with me the least…

The AMA certainly has physicians as members, but I would call it a stretch to say they represent the interests of a majority of physicians.

Plus, the AMA/AOA has been lobbying for more residency spots for a while now, which would increase supply for physicians. These are generally things that could bring down costs.
Going to be fun to see cases of false positives. "Help! My FPS drops 75% after running game for 30 minutes!"
It makes sense to me that gamers as a market are more likely to be brand-loyal and gaming is also more moat-able than hashing.

For miners, they just want whatever does more hashes per second. There's no loyalty there and the hardware is competing solely on hash/power/cost. For gaming, you have proprietary software and APIs like "RTX"-branded stuff, game-specific driver optimizations, etc. where you can better defend yourself against AMD.

So for Nvidia, if they're going to sell X GPUs either way, they'd rather sell to gamers than miners to help preserve their gaming market share which plausibly has more long-term value. Just my guess, at least.
Speculation having thought about this for a few minutes a few weeks ago. Given that a driver update disabled the feature, my guess is that they have certain kernels blacklisted. Really just the anti-virus equivalent of if (e.g.) Nicehash Miner, set throttle. A good way to test this would be to write a new miner and see what perf you can get.

I have the driver with it disabled and would patch diff it against a new one if I had the time, but I'm very busy with work. It would be an interesting problem of binary diffing at scale (dozens of libraries). Very interested if anyone has any insight.

You were very fortunate indeed. What would have happened if, like half of all children, you got a below-average math teacher ?

Yes the solution to all learning problems is more intelligent teachers. We know. This has been shown many times. The quality of teachers matters more for educational achievement than the difference between a city-center public school and a private Montessori school. Obviously that doesn't scale and will never be the experience of more than a tiny minority of kids.

I've also adopted the principle that if someone comes to me with an offer, it must be beneficial for them. This is especially true for door-to-door salesmen and utility contracts. Like they give you a big (like 50%) discount on electricity, but the gas price is where they get you.

Coinvotes in the context of massive insider premines is completely useless. Of course a coinvote would reflect "Yes to censoring the DAO hacker" because the DAO hacker controlled more ETH than the top 3 current ETH accounts. And the insiders stand to benefit the most from proof of stake because it's a system designed to further enrich the already rich.
Why would them diminishing a certain aspect that you admittedly never planned on using in the first place affect your decision? Does your work involve computing millions of hashes, but isn't cryptocurrency?
I imagine it isn't (yet) because of the price tag.
Maybe my usage stays in the golden path, but I've been using them for ten years too and I have no complaints about the core functionality. My only real complaint is that they've been adding lots of features I don't care about, getting slightly pushy about convincing you to try them, etc. But I haven't seen the core stuff actually go downhill.
Yes, thank you for saying so.

People rarely understand that the coordination solution is one of the most important powers the government offers over privatization.

They can tax/penalize undesired behavior. Individual companies may end up worse off, but as a whole the business community is better off with the rules in place.

This is why governments have to tackle pollution and climate change too. Companies are profit-motivated, and will only respond to what the economics demand. When governments start imposing demands with penalties attached, that's when companies actually start changing behaviors.
Could the price ever reach a point where you would say it infringes on the general public's freedom to purchase? Or are all prices simply greater and greater inconveniences?
Cryptos also have a thriving theft ecosystem, and illegal uses dwarf the few defi experiments.

They aren't really "selling" the unlocked RTX 3080, though. They go for $2500 on ebay, and you're essentially winning a lottery if you manage to get one at the advertised $800 price. In practice acquiring a restricted RTX 3080 is going to be a lot cheaper than acquiring an unrestricted one.
Because it’s ideological flamebait designed to trigger the amygdala rather than inform and educate.

As soon as I read the editorial I felt upset, confused, angry- and that of course is how I was intended to feel. A hit piece like this is perfectly designed to trigger you.

What’s really dismaying is that so many seemingly rational people here on hacker essentially fell for it.. You let them take your rational mind and replace it with a vehicle for propagating the priorities of the author of the article. And it’s so, so easy for that to happen. It’s happened to me.

And once you’ve fallen for something like this, it’s very, very hard to admit that you’ve been had.
Sure, I agree. We will get AIs with an IQ of 150, who will make one with an IQ of 300 and so on and so on until we reach 300,000??
One assumes such an IQ will have a memory to match and will have a CPU clock of ~~40-50 GHZ and will be massively parallel. Such a mind will be able to extrapolate permutationally and exhaustively any idea tree to create new prototypes and optimize them.
Automatic fabrication will mature apace and product abundance will ensue - farbricators and replicators will merge - to a degree. A purpose made machine will always beat a generalist, as in dice making at scale versus one at a time.

> I am pretty sure my next GPU is going to be AMD due to this behavior by Nvidia.

I was thinking about buying NVIDIA for the next GPU based on performance numbers alone.

However, against it there's:

1) Terrible Linux support(and history). This is specially important now that most of Steam's library runs on Linux without issues. It was eye-opening to see Cyberpunk running almost perfectly on DAY ONE with the same performance as Windows. In the case of AMD, with open source drivers.

2)Control freak shenanigans (see also: this thread). This is doing nothing to address the GPU shortage. It's just dishonest market segmentation.

3)Their completely unacceptable behavior regarding reviews. They were punishing reviewers that didn't place enough emphasis in ray tracing. They would be blacklisted just by saying it's not important (which I happen to agree with). They handled the situation horribly.
I'm thrilled by this. This has been a common approach in I think almost every industry.

What nvidia is doing is recognizing that the needs of existing long time consumers / clients / partners are not being met by the current situation. Yes, it inflates short term profits and increases their pricing power, but long run if you can't buy nvidia for your dev box, your game box etc, this reduces the long run nvidia ecosystem.

Crypto folks come and go. Serve them on a short term basis with something at a higher price point or make them lock in long term orders

Almost every business works this way. Long time regular customer - you get pricing option A. Rando runs in with lots of cash? You don't let them destroy your long term customer relationships, but sell them some extra / high margin stuff if they are willing to pay enough.

Intel just went through this ecosystem pain with ARM. They said no to doing iphone chip. Now an ecosystem has built up around ARM with far more investment than would have been there without apple leading the way.
Let me give an example to explain what I mean: I would hope that switching keyboard layouts would work the same as switching between windows of open applications with Alt-Tab. That is, open a web browser, then open a text editor, then open a file explorer. I expect that when I press Alt-Tab, it switches from the file explorer to the text editor, and if I then press Alt-Tab again, it switches back to the file explorer. This isn't exactly cycling - instead it's switching between the two most recently used options (keyboard layouts/application windows). Is there a way to make keyboard layout switching work the same way?
I think things should be more basic. Just make HACCP laws. No need to wait until people die from food poisoning.

And why would you want a deflationary currency? If you see it as an investment, then of course. But for the general economy it is better when people spend their money sooner rather than later, and capital gets invested where it does something useful.
Do you really believe Nvidia is being an enforcer here to "take action against harmful behavior"? It's just price discrimination. They saw they were leaving money on the table. Unless they thought it a huge PR win to do it, it's probably not much different in motivation than the previous thing with them segmenting out datacenter use.
Wouldn't there also have to be some kind of head tracking involved? Otherwise you're still limited to just showing a fixed perspective in 3d.
OK but why and for what purpose?
Every single one of your comments up and down this thread is incorrect misinformation and it's extremely tiring.

2) The blockchain wasn't mutated after the DAO hack. This has been well reported.

3) "He" didn't decide to do anything, the Ethereum community did.

The longer the project exists and the more people there are who get to try it, the more likely it is to leak.

To speculate, here are some reasons why keeping it secret longer might be hard:

- They're going to do wider testing within Google.
- They're going to start bringing outside testers in to try it.
- They're going to start working with manufacturers.
- Some newspaper got wind of it and is about to publish a story. (I think this happened with driverless cars?)

Apple is better at keeping secrets, and even they leak.

Also, it's nice for the people working on it when they no longer have to keep what they do a secret.

Edit: although, in this case, the timing mostly has to do with Google I/O starting today.
Do you think it's possible 90% of this is due to the studio quality lighting, large high quality screen, good mic/speakers, and low latency network? It seems like those factors alone would get most of the way there and the 3D aspect is just a bonus. Obviously I haven't used it in person but this was just a thought since most people are used to video calls on their small phone/laptop with poor lighting, mics, etc
You can customize mining algorithms to work on any hardware....

Either way gpu mining was always a terrible idea since they have resale value and thus cost of attack was small vs ASICs that are rendered worthless when they attack their own chain effectively unable to break even on sunk costs.

Being out in the middle of the ocean with only INS supposedly keeping you on track is different than a GPS receiver that you can look at and see that you are not where you should be. Obviously the same thing would happen if no one was paying any mind to the cockpit instruments but at least a GPS receiver offers a solid reference to compare against. I really can't imagine how nerve wracking it would be trying to fly a plane without INS or GPS over an ocean. Your navigator would do their best to keep track of location but you'd probably end up way off course by the time you saw land.

It's interesting to see the compression artifacts affecting hair specifically.

I guess we're going to get used to different kinds of compression artifacts in the coming years because we're switching to spatial information being transmitted as opposed to just pixels. Hair is so much harder to get right than a face.
They're also instantly selling every single GPU they can produce either way, so there's no downside.
Good luck getting a next gen AMD GPU for any reasonable price if NVidia successfully segments away the miners and AMD doesn't.
The term light field technology is broad enough to cover lenticular arrays in displays. The 3DS had the major limitation that it only rendered two views. If you increase the resolution to be able to display more views for more viewing directions within a wider cone, you already have a light field display - simply because all these views combined form a sampled light field representation by definition. This is exactly the same as glassless 3d displays for multiple viewers of decades past. But advances in display pixel density and computing power apparently make the resulting illusion much more convincing these days.
This - plus if all the new GPUs are going into ETH miners rather than gaming rigs, what incentive will game developers have to target new features or optimize for them?
I recently read Exhalation, and was blown away by how engaging and thought provoking the stories were. Would highly recommend it to anyone with even a passing, high-level interest in sci-fi.
And it is a pretty common complaint that companies sacrifice long-term interest for short term concerns. It is interesting to see a company apparently intentionally make the opposite decision (and have people still complain).
