Antminers are for mining Bitcoin, GPUs are mostly used for Ethereum.
Realistically for most micro controllers it's the only choice other than machine code. Basically because it's the only one offered by the manufacturers.

On the other hand, if we ever build out electrified road infrastructure, one might be able to recharge a battery electric vehicle without even stopping just by pulling power from rails embedded in the road or overhead power lines.
I remember the mantra well. I remember the backwards messages in rock music were blamed for brainwashing kids. They would slow a record down and play it backwards and come up with words from the noise that matched their fear message.
I'm on the same boat, however, it's a bit unclear if parent is complaining [also] about their open source support. Their antagonistic position towards open source (AFAIK there's no comparison to AMD<>Nvidia open source drives) is a big issue for me.
The driver you are using is a BLOB that comes from closed source. Many people who use Linux are against that, and would rather have open source drivers (which I think nvidia used to have but discontinued?).
Paxos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos has existed for more than 30 years. If it were easy or simple to issue a money with distributed signing, it'd have been done before Bitcoin's PoW<->Difficulty Adjustment<->Fixed Money Issuance novel art was published.

Ethereum has been "about to release PoS" for almost 6 years now and all of the initial critiques (By issuing X units of value, you incentivize ~<X units of energy to be expended)

I don't know what jurisdiction you are in, but as far as I know, crypto is treated as a capital asset in the US, not a currency, so I'm unprepared to deal with the tax consequences of using it as a currency.

If I paid for things with it then every transaction would require calculating capital gains/losses. And it's far worse than conventional assets like stocks because at least the brokers track that stuff for you.
Ace Technical Coding Interview Now
I agree with you on the importance of GA for the e-Commerce. But you shouldn't actively prevent users from buying things because GA is not not working (in that case, because of uBlock).

Because of the pandemic, I go to stores wearing a mask. That might prevent me being identified by the cameras (IDK), but the cashiers still sell to me.
Yep, it's really silly. It's really just saying we don't know, and here's a breakdown of all the reasons that we don't know.
Absolutely - if they wanted they could make a killing (short term) and auction to Eth farms.

That said, they are trying to preserve market / mind share in the longer term with existing customers (gamers, AI/ML) and partners (OEMs etc). And those folks aren't ready to pay the crypto price point.

So they are giving up short term money (from auctions etc) for ideally long term market share.
No, I will not think of the children.
Trudeau's fake MacBook photo draws hilarious reaction online
Normally I'd agree (eg: I think limited concert tickets should simply be auctioned off).

This is a little trickier. You have a consumer grade product aimed at a mass market segment (gamers) being used as a glorified financial market device (crypto).

You could just sell it at whatever price people are willing to pay for (crypto) and make a big buck. You'd likely wreck the gaming industry in the process. If you feel the crypto market is there to stay forever and that it's your best bet as a manufacturer going forward, it could possibly be a good move.

If you think its a temporary fad though, that the gaming market has a larger long term return (if it's allowed to thrive), and that this setback, even if temporary, is harmful to your long term plan, then it's an issue. If you think that the gaming industry beyond the GPU market (eg: streaming grids) have value, and you want to foster those because it will make more money in the long run, then the current situation isn't looking so good.

What it looks like is a large public company thinking more than quarter to quarter for once. It's actually kind of confusing, but that's what it looks like to my untrained eyes.

It’s also kind of a crazy library (eg letting you magically shell out to commands—one step away from a 90s-style IFS security hole). I think it’s more of a fun exercise in crazy things you can do with C preprocessor macros.
? My CPU actually underclocks itself if I am running a heavy AVX-512 workload. Actually, back when I had it in a cheaper motherboard, my system would crash because the MB couldn't deliver enough power to the CPU.

But I agree with the first sentence. Lots of miner cards are undervolted because what matters is performance per watt, just like many server cpus.
No. Only the miners. All for this.

Wouldn’t it better to prevent procreation? No children, no child abuse. Cant even hide abuse that doesn’t exist by keeping off the internet with it.

Makes about as much sense as banning encryption to prevent abuse.

So long as deviant minds exist, child abuse will exist. Even if you could perfectly prosecute all transmissions of the resulting artifacts.
Reminds me of Teliris (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teliris) which I got to demo 15 years ago. That product ran on dark fiber with special hardware to simulate two sides of a conference table. Really uncanny and unsettling etiquette-wise. One-on-one feels better all around.
It's nowhere close. The quadratic equation, pthagorean theorem. Heros law, and a hundred other more simple equations are more famous.
While child abuse and drug trafficking were presumably not concerns, ancient Chinese cities really did implement a curfew for commoners. It was a sign of status to own a house which opened directly onto the street (making you immune to the curfew).
Well, yes, you could see it that way.
Firewall on iOS
IMHO, we probably should try to get to the point that bots/assistants are less "a thing we order around" and "a thing we communicate with", if partially because of the pretty bad vibes of "creating slaves" or being comfortable ordering such programs around, regardless of the degree we are confident we haven't accomplished computer sentience. It's just a bad pattern to be in. I recall a lot of work going into making Cortana refuse to tolerate abusive language towards it.

Maybe Google has it right with not anthropomorphizing Google Assistant and giving it a human name, but in that case LaMDA is a move in the wrong direction it seems: The conversations demonstrated emulated emotion in a way that generally speaking, most bots do not.

Is there any work on making difficult-to-gender voices for bots that still sound human? Maybe if we were to combine names that aren't traditionally given to humans with a voice that is hard to gender? Should we intentionally make bots/assistants sound more robotic, so they do not try to "sound human"?

I think it's kinda an interesting question to figure out what the best practice should be moving forwards.
What is this? Reading this post does not explain it, but I figure it some sort of new DB.
Short term they could make a lot of money that way, but then they may lose gamers who will likely still want gpus after miners no longer need them. It's not a one off transaction.
> Sometimes it takes very long for things to die definitively.

And other times it occurs very quickly and for no good reason. Linux gleefully deletes functionality like hardware accelerated framebuffer scrolling, because the devs can't be bothered to decouple code or maintain existing work. It is interesting because 15 years ago I'd have assumed it to be a byproduct of a free software virality strategy - making the use of outside code as painful as possible by providing no stability beyond exported GPL symbols. But now, with the wildly successful corporate push in Open™ Source©, I'm starting to wonder if it is just a happy accident that software-defined planned obsolescence is now a thing. All those GPL vs BSD licensed code debates... funny how things work out.
Because the scalpers won’t go away. There will always be some poor sap willing to pay double market value for a scalped product.
I totally agree with this and for a entry-level job, with no experience, I would be totally cool with ignoring the degree is the person was right. For a manager or higher level engineer, I believe some amount of prior experience is necessary, the degree is not a requirement but it may influence how much experience I am willing to accept as requisite for the position.
How do you use the Lightning network?
It doesn’t solve the N+1 queries problem in a generic way. That is a major hurdle in scaling complexity-wise, which in turn is often deeply coupled with business realities.

More to the point, it probably cannot solve it efficiently at all, since it is not a graph database and thus cannot be paired with a generic GraphQL resolver (would generate join queries instead of lookups across edges) and a stack of generated static queries in the backend (no need to allow generic queries, just make it possible to write queries once and only once).
No, it's not, except in the sense that everything is like everything. Hiring someone for work is for a product or service. The "service" I'm Uber is scoped to a narrow activity like a ride. This app is far more intimate.

Memory is good. It used to be even better (I could recite important parts of meetings verbatim when I first joined my company 9 years ago). I think I'm still above average, but I'm not sure how to rule out bias on that.

I've never taken an actual IQ test. When I was 5 my verbal/vocabulary skills tested on the level of a normal 10 year old. I was curious about IQ in college and took 2 unofficial tests which turned out very consistent with scores of 121 and 124. I don't really see a lot of value in IQ tests, even the official ones.

The dreams vary. Some are very detailed. Some might not be, or it's just that I don't remember as much detail except in the final dream of the night (I sometimes remember up to 3 dreams per night). Usually they are logical/realistic, but sometimes include unrealistic elements (that I know during the dream are unreal). I can usually remember the chain of events in the final dream of the night very well. I can usually remember the order that I had the dreams in too. The earlier dreams I can usually remember the high level chain of events for the other dreams, but maybe not the smaller details.

Any reason for the questions?
Isn't this just saying "the Ethereum proof of stake transition benefits ETH holders"?
This isn't especially strange or complicated. I guess you're just trying to be witty? But it comes across as pretty ignorant.

Yeah if Uber was born today and didn't want to use any on-prem resources they'd use S3, but HDFS is the best alternative to object storage out there, and there's a huge ecosystem of tools around it. If you're running your own datacenter, there's not any serious alternative.
It seems like the author of this post isn't aware of the History feature built-in to both desktop and mobile Music.app (formerly known as iTunes). I don't imagine they care that it exists, or that it invalidates the example they used in their rant about Apple software quality, but for whatever it's worth, mine goes back for weeks or months across many device restarts.
I appreciate seeing a support and engineering org going this deep to resolve this kind of issue. Normally this is the stuff you waste hours on with a support org only to get told to clear your cookies and cache one more time.

In particular, the collaboration with Microsoft was great.I wonder what it took to make that happen.
Personally, I believe we're living through the events that will lead to the permanent fracturing of the Internet as we know it, along state or bloc lines.

No.

The standard web analytics tools of the late 90s basically parsed the http log. Even those will give you info equivalent to "looking through cameras".

You might want GA, you might even need it, but you're absolutely not blind without it unless you choose to be so.
Check out what they say on https://c4ss.org. Maybe opinions have changed over the years though.
Ethash is actually more profitable when underclocking and power limiting the card for max efficiency. With cheap electricity around $0.10/kWh this can mean $0.30 a day on $7 in profit.

Sure, POWER9 offers pairs of SMT8 cores sharing L2 caches, that's 16 thread contexts presented to software that are all sharing an L2 cache domain. Intel "Tremont" Atom has a shared L2 cache for a module of up to 4 cores. Maybe that is the one you allude to as lightweight.
They have very different effects in different time frames, it's not like you could simply swap in marijuana and swap out alcohol for most people.
I think what they are transferring is not a video but 3d model and the skin texture applied on the model (all derived from the realtime video / depth recording on the other side). The receiving and then renders it as a 3d model on the screen.
Okay, so the end result is exactly the same for one of two groups: miners or gamers. Nvidia just gets to choose which group gets access to cards.
Actually BMW started as a producer of aircraft engines...
Agreed. While I can _sometimes_ get better results out of ProCamera (especially if I'm doing digital "zoom" cropping), honestly the default camera app does better 90% of the time.

If I want the best results, I'll bring out my Fuji X70 or my mirrorless, both of which connect to my phone directly and automatically transfer shots (with geotags and everything)

Thanks for those. I really like the work that Tezos has been doing and the more I see from them the more impressed I am.

By the way what's your thought on Plutus (https://developers.cardano.org/en/programming-languages/plut...)?

It's technically its own language however it is basically a Haskell DSL/library that lifts code into a smart contract domain. It seems to retain the full expressivity and safety of Haskell (and the Haskell tooling). Additionally it allows you to share the same code base for on and off network code (as the smart contract code is largely just code lifted into a smart contract domain. This provides pretty much seamless interaction between the two domains. The documentation is a bit sparse at the moment which is its biggest weakness however that's rapidly being improved with the approach of Alonzo at the end of July/start of August.

I'm honestly so glad we as a space are finally starting to move away from Solidity and all of its footguns.
I'm not sure it's the parent's point (I suspect it is), but mine would be that it might be you get 80% of the "it's like they're there in the room" effect by having 8k; good lighting; well-separated, good quality, stereo sound; a purpose made space without distractions; etc.?

If you've only had 480/720 on a small screen, with a mono microphone with poor lighting, lag, dropouts, then just fixing those things and making it 2k+ might be surprisingly good (ie will have an emotional impact due to the truer representation)?

Is it really toxic? It's pretty funny and not exactly offensive imo. Besides, you could just maintain a fork that was the same exact thing with a different name and a different readme.

Though really, memes on a readme shouldn't affect technical decision making.
There's definitely ETH holders who have more ETH than I do, including those who did _not_ benefit from the premine.

(And there's BTC holders with more than 0.3% of all BTC)
Government has always been the principal enabler of every war, genocide, and mass abuse of human rights through history. Divorcing them from control of money is a massive human rights advancement, and most people recognize this.
That's a shortsighted approach, in my opinion. The same pattern is observed in inflation: long-term, money printing has zero benefits. Why central banks do it anyway? Because there's a first mover advantage. Also, history has already showed us that, when given the opportunity, miners are in favor of larger rewards.

You're programming on a computer that run on C and others today, I'm sure you'll manage in the future too. "On the shoulders of giants" and all that.
What about how much money it cost to get whatever currency you had into a cryptocurrency? That may be vanishingly small for people that had BTC cheap and now have a bunch that cost some low initial amount to get into the system, but most people would necessarily have to convert whatever currency they normally have to a crypto currency first and then spend it. A true comparison would compare a few things, including same currency transactions using paypal, differing currency transactions using paypal, cost to use crypto to buy assuming you have none to start with, and cost to use crypto assuming you already have it as crypto at essentially zero cost. And for all those, probably run the number for buying something at $5, $10, $50, $100 and $1000.

Or don't do all that and intuit from it that the likely result is that in some cases crypto wins (when the purchase is large, when the crypto was acquired at closet to zero cost), and in others it doesn't (when the cost is small, or possibly even moderate and when you have to convert to crypto first).
What would be the advantage of that? With this segmentation between GPU families, they now can charge for GPU's at the rate where it's profitable to mine ETH (what the market will bear), and thus participate in almost all of the ETH upside, without the risk.
> overtaxed consumer cards

Actually, miners optimise for computation/kWh of electricity (versus computation/16ms of time for gamers), which leads to running mining GPUs at significantly lower wear and tear level (lower voltage scaling, lower clock rate, etc) than gaming GPUs.

> having ex-miner cards burn out is a pretty common thing on the used market.

Having used GPUs in general burn out is somewhat common, but it's less common for ex-miner cards than for ex-gamer cards.
As usual, there's a fair bit of "just so" equivocating going here (success being the antidote to bitterness stands out as especially over-rationalized, as if anyone was really wondering why the successful are so cheerful, ignorance is bliss Paul). That said, I like this essay a bit more than recent previous entries. The level of fierceness your workplace can tolerate definitely varies a lot, and on multiple axis, one of which is whether or not it's currently fashionable for people of your category to have an attitude. There's also a difference between "fierce" and "anti-social" which could be explored a bit more. And lastly, competition has been ramping up since forever, and with it comes unproductive, unnecessary fierceness and extreme focus on short horizons for everyone,even those not naturally inclined toward either, which is lamentable.

Overall though, I'd say this does describe a certain set you are likely to find in tech quite accurately, although the correlation with success and wealth probably has more to do with investment preferences than any actual operational advantage created by this behavior. Believing in the need for hyper-competitive fierceness while also having influence over the direction of funding turns it into a self-fulfilling prophecy, when the reality is that luck and timing are much more impactful. No VC will ever just admit they're playing craps, and would rather everyone believe they have special knowledge that allows them to count cards.
No, but children should have mandatory body cams installed at birth and removed at adulthood. They’re overwhelmingly likely to be abused by family or a close family friend, and permanent body cams would curb child sex abuse.

For what it's worth, not a single one of those entries in the "no more" list appeals to me in any way. I've never complained that I lost my master password, or that the license didn't work on multiple platforms, or that I accidentally deleted my files. I don't feel the need for 2FA because -- and this is a big deal to me -- my password database isn't online. I know how to do backups. It's simple and self-contained. I can use it at work where policy prohibits online password management. I don't have to worry that I'm getting continuous "new features" updates that are going to change my working environment outside of my control (I can still roll back to v6.0 if I want). I don't like external dependencies. This is a much, much greater concern to me than the "niceties" you mention that literally bring me no value. So please, stop acting like you know better than your users. You may have the 90% case nailed but you're just pissing the rest of us off with your attitude.

Is this technology important though?
And I'm not surprised support for it has fallen. The people who support general purpose computing never explain why it's important. They just state the principle as if it's self-evident, but clearly it isn't to a lot of people.

But to be fair to them, maybe they are not stating the reasons because they worry that voicing their fears would be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
that's such a weird behavior, the bot completely ignores the opponent when in that particular spot?!
I suspect this is because he’s successfully generated a cult-of-personality among fans, and crypto-communities can get pretty rabid (positively and negatively) when their chosen celebrity does anything.
