Its an issue most people don't worry about because they're running exactly 1 GPU, which they wanted because they wanted to game, and if it dies, it dies.

But Google, Amazon et al. are very familiar with the concept of hardware lifetimes. Internally, calculations for some algorithms are done based on MTBF values for components - i.e. the cost of doing a thing is a certain number of CPU-hours, and you know a CPU will give you X-hours before it's liable to be hardware-dead.

A second hand gaming GPU has a very different power-on profile to a mining GPU - a gamer is going to struggle to on average put more then 4 hours a day or so through a card, most likely less. A miner is going to have that thing powered on the whole time, permanently. Even if the GPU is fine, the DDR RAM has been aging and that stuff fails faster.

The short answer is: people are going to be asking for a discount based on the expected lifetime of ex-miner hardware, once we know what that is. If the answer is "well it might last 6 months or it might last till you replace your machine" then the price will now reflect that expectation and risk profile. Not to mention the dilution factor which will be actually failing hardware being sold off by miners without properly marking it - after all, you might as well let someone gamble that bit flips in the GPU only lead to graphics aberrations rather then bad hashes.
On Google I get some Wikipedia extracted information that says:

"The Valve Index Controllers have a joystick, touchpad, two face buttons, a menu button, a trigger, and an array of 87 sensors that allow the controllers to track hand position, finger position, motion, and pressure to create an accurate representation of the user's hand in virtual reality." with a link to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Index

The first raw result is: https://www.pocket-lint.com/ar-vr/news/steam/147913-valve-in...

That's the same link as DDG uses as its first result.

The second Google link is a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD8Y9gcPGzs) that has details about "optics and resolution". The second DDG link is about sprinkers (https://www.sprinklersavings.com/blog/how-an-indexing-valve-...).

Google seems a lot better on this query.

You may be exceptional.

In my experience, it often works / looks perfect in the head. But putting it to paper, it falls apart quickly. Imagine a bicycle, it is easy to imagine it accurately. Then draw it (or construct it), one usually struggles a lot. The step to materialize it, is where you need a lot of practice.

The worst are the the "idea" guys. They think they have already done all the work, and somebody else just needs to put it to paper. If you're that someone, expect lots of trial and error. He'll "know when he sees it", but can't give directions.
There are plenty of contentious moderation decisions that are unrelated to the DMCA.

Fusion is not magic at all. It will most likely be a fairly expensive source of power. You might not need to spend a lot on fuel, but building large, technically very advanced installations is expensive.
>The server hardware is sponsored free of cost; we will occasionally receive an invoice for $0, but that's only because of how the accounting systems at some of our sponsors operate. I can't possibly imagine that the few freenode live conferences cost more than 50k; and all of the other miscellaneous expenses (like the renewal costs for the domain names) are well under a few hundred pounds per year. Anything he would have donated before Freenode Ltd's acquisition is unknown to me, but that would have been from the position of a benefactor, not a supposed owner.

Ampere Is Designing Their Own Arm Server CPU Cores, Coming in 2022
I'm sorry to hear that. The number of cases has been difficult to compare between countries since everyone measures differently but the number of deaths are in many countries extremely accurate and even though it differs a bit each year it still gives a good measure of how bad it is.

Do you know if this is reported and compiled accurate in India?
According to the stats mentioned, robocalls are almost doubling every quarter. What is the technology that empowers this?
Back when Net Neutrality was hot topic, the nightmare scenario that was always trotted out was that the Internet would become cable television, devoid of the wide diversity of content and voices it has today. Every time I see a story like this (and there are a LOT of them) I half-jokingly wonder if we'll reach that future not because of the collapse of NN, but simply because everyone other than corporations will have been banned from all major platforms.

With that in mind, consider that this "failure" of scale may be less of a bug and more of a feature as far as the platforms are concerned. All the big players HATE the Internet as it originally existed. All those independent voices talking all over the place were difficult or impossible to monetize, and the legal hazard of trying to do business near anything resembling a truly free discussion forum is a nightmare. Far better to do away with all that pesky multi-directional communication and go back to the good old days: big company make product, big company market product, little people buy product. No need for discussion or community. That just gets in the way.

Maybe, if your lords are feeling generous, they'll give you a comment section where you can talk about how great product is. Any other posts will of course be scrubbed.

Instead of resorting to silly childish taunts, I would appreciate you refute my sentence of why building statues and temples was more necessary than building hospitals or schools?

What’s really remarkable is that giving users the ability to manually crop would be an amazing way to gather data on optimal cropping, which they could have used to train their model down the road. I can only imagine how much more time and money went into gathering eye tracking data.
I've been interested in reading more about the Matrix client protocol, is there documentation anywhere? At least as far as sending/receiving text messages and maybe threading.

That linked message has a lot of good information though.
A lot of comments that appear neutral here are actually political btw. Saying that deaths are undercounted or citing foreign media is seen as "anti national" now within India.
> it seems that automated (or semi-automated) moderating is absolutely a no-go at scale.

It follows that society of any kind is a no-go at scale.
Maybe more people will then demand plaintext as we come full circle
> The problem is, manual moderating systems are also a no-go at scale. So what do you do?

Is it? I'd have imagined there's some ratio of 1 mod per N people for N not too small that would make things work. It might be more like 1:1K instead of the 1:1M (or whatever) that companies prefer, but is that genuinely unaffordable or is it just that companies don't like to pay for moderators?
> You do realize that's the correct way right?

> Everywhere it's done the same way.

Neither statement us true. Belgium infamously had a really bad covid death toll because they decided early on to attribute unknown causes to covid.

Then the excess mortality numbers came in and every country had a ton of mysterious and unexplained excess mortality (you know, rampant covid)… except Belgium where the numbers tracked.
I love this man's whole channel! Such excellent videos - highly recommend.
It's not really technology so much as investment; i.e. the initial wave of robocalls generate enough income that scam operators can afford to invest in more call centers, phone numbers, infrastructure, etc. Just like a real sales division in a real sales company would.
It's fine because current developers are satisfied, but possibly some new developers (candidates) don't want to treat CVS. Still it's fine if current developer think it's not a problem.
The phone companies know, but they won't tell you without a court order.
Lots of the designs used by CERN are basically open source hardware some more useful than other depending on how niche it is. Heck CERN helps with KiCADs development which has benefited numerous hobbyists.

I would really doubt power estimates with three significant digits when I could reduce my total power demand by at least 30% by switching to a heat pump for heating instead of burning oil without changing my quality of life in the slightest.
My understanding is that all calls on the voice networks are unauthenticated, the network can’t validate if a number calling is legitimate or spoofed.

In Australia, this problem exists too.

Surely these large telcos can band together and add an auth layer, I’d happily reject unauthenticated calls to me.
I do have aphantasia, and until reading about it a couple of years ago I had no idea most people meant it literally when they talked about seeing things in their mind outside of dreams.

I can describe things in detail based on spatial relationships very accurately with my eyes closed, but at the very most I sometimes see vague subsecond flashes.
Again it’s strictly worse at being money. You just keep restating that it’s not instead of attempting to justify your position.
I believe the idea here is that suggesting any degree of “surprise” that human society has survived implies that the work women were excluded from was more vital to human society’s survival than what most or all of those excluded women were actually doing at that time.
Pay for it and stop being greedy.
>A few lines down in your link you have this: "At about Mach 2, a typical wing design will cut its L/D ratio in half (e.g., Concorde managed a ratio of 7.14, whereas the subsonic Boeing 747 has an L/D ratio of 17)".

Do you not understand what that means? It's literally proving my point. Thanks for agreeing with me.

>Sure, at trans-sonic speeds the coefficient of drag is horrible, but a supersonic commercial jet doesn't spend more than the minimum time necessary in that speed range.

And the wave drag is still bad even at super sonic speeds. The jets still have to spend a significant amount of time subsonic even if it's minimalized, it's still a significant amount.

>What's more, improvements are possible even for the trans-sonic range. The planned Concorde B was projected to have dramatic fuel consumption improvement of 25% at Mach 1.2 [1].

Still worse than subsonic at that time. Since then, subsoni, high bypass engine design has made that gap even wider.

So still, no, it's a matter of physics.
As of some years ago, Asterix, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's more specialized software nowadays.

Fiat is intentionally worthless in the future to encourage you to spend it.
1) Real juries perform exactly as you describe. The vast majority of people want to get out. This is not different

2) That's exactly the point. If a group of random people can't agree that some post is hate speech, then its not hate speech beyond reasonable doubt.
Well, Facebook is free to ban anybody from using their services, since it is a private platform. If Rossmann wants, he can start his own billion dollar social network and post whatever he likes over there.
Only public symbols and unwinding information is extracted from Arch packages because they don't have debuginfo like other distros. It's better than nothing.
Can you get fiat money from the decentralized exchanges? It was my understanding they would only work to swap one token for another.
What do feeling have to do with facts. COVID has at most 1% mortality rate. It hasn't been shown to significantly increase yearly mortality rate. About the same number of people are dying as every year. The Ganges is a large river. The claim is a hyperbolic exaggeration.

Basically, all the people talking about its just the downtrodden trying to get by are trying to score political points, when the core issue is that the repeat criminals are not) insufficiently disincentivized.

Success isn't everything. It is very possible (and arguably more likely) to be a successful company and still have a shitty culture and/or work environment.

Riot is a prime example of this, but unfortunately they are hardly the exception - it is a fairly common pattern amongst the AAA game companies and publishers.

The specifics are not the same from company to company, but arguably the end result is. People are unfortunately willing to endure a lot just to get into their "dream industry".

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't see it that way at all, but I can understand why it might be offensive now. To me it read as

"It is surprising that a species so stupid/incompetent as to arbitrarily exclude half their members has managed to survive this far."
They can but they are loosing profits as internet services swallow their market share. They won't do anything that expensive until they legally have to. The best way to fix this is to complain to your government.

If it wasn't already obvious, this basically confirms that Freenode is no longer a good place to be. Most projects are migrating to libera.chat while some are migrating to OFTC.
I actually think the majority of robocalls are from call centers with access to blocks of phone numbers they shuffle around.

I wouldn't even be surprised if phone companies got kick backs in some way too. Very few people are willing to change their cell number to protest.
>I know around 14 people that died of covid. None of them were listed in the covid deaths.

And you're going to compare 1.4bi people based on 100 people you interact with? Confirmation bias I'd say, numbers are higher but stating, yolo, 10x-100x is nothing but a Yellow Press comment.

>Instead of resorting to silly childish taunt

Says the person who jumps the gun trying to sound dramatic instead of any solid numbers to back their claim, all stating, "Maybe".

>why building statues and temples was more necessary than building hospitals or schools?

Ever heard of tourism? You can't run a country just by spending money, you need to spend money to earn money in long term too.
Sometimes bad things are being done, by bad people, and those things and people should be spoken of harshly, not in neutral, Vulcan-like delivery. Rossmann can be a bit severe, but nearly always with good reason: the people he's speaking ill of are generally crooks of one kind or another.

Of course, speaking or writing with nothing BUT appeals to emotion is vacuous and cynical, and the horde of youtube grifters that have sprung up to make money off getting people wound up are trash. But unlike them, Rossmann actually has well-considered content behind his passion, not just hot air.
Deep Design: Designing with Machine Intelligence
My inner imagination pales in comparison to the visualizations I experience on LSD. This experience sets up a nice contrast of what my mind is capable of VS what I generally am able to do when imagining.

I'm eager to try spending time imagining / visualizing things as I used to do when I was a kid, but it's hard to find time with all the exciting projects and busy life stuff in the way.
The problem with nuclear is the slow iteration speed and extreme cost of failure.

Those are not good properties if you want to push technology forward quickly. The great thing about solar and wind is that we can iterate very quickly and catastrophic failure costs are nearly non-existent.

Nuclear still has great potential but the costs are just too high (and maybe they should be).
I'm guessing that has more to do with the aerodynamics of the trailer than its weight. Electric vehicles are much more efficient at getting power to the wheels than gas-powered ones [1], so aerodynamic drag plays a larger factor in range. The Model Y has a super-low drag coefficient of 0.23, and I wouldn't be surprised if the trailer adds considerably more drag than the car itself.

It says right in your link "Many years ago, we ran GitHub on a fork of Ruby (and Rails!) and while that hasn’t been the case for some time".
So that was a long time ago, what is your point?
This one single problem is why I switched to Firefox. Even the FF mobile app does a much better job.
DMCA compliance is easy. You just have to respond to takedown notices expeditiously. Active moderation for copyright infringement is not required. You don't have to care about infringing content you don't know about if no notice is sent. You can force notices to be mailed to a PO box if that is the desired path for contacting your complaint agent.
Dota 2 came out 4 years after LoL

Unless you mean the original DOTA mod for warcraft 3, in which case, yeah I mean why wouldn't you make a full game out of a mod that people loved?

The platforms do just that, by removing the content in question.
I see a lot of people here expressing doubts and confusion. I want to try to clear up some of that.

The key notion here is scale relativity. This is the reason why transformer models have been so, well, transformative. Bigger models are better than smaller models in a proportional manner. That is, they display scale relativity. Where is the limit? Where does this break down? We don't know. We haven't found the ceiling yet.

Another important notion is multimodality. When you can cross-reference your text-based knowledge of an apple with your image-based knowledge of an apple, you can use this information as leverage. Archimedes said, "Give me a place to stand on, and I'll move the Earth." It might seem ridiculous to say that the same is true when it comes to information, but it is. Informational leverage is powerful. Multimodality allows you to make very accurate predictions. The McGurk effect is a nice demonstration of how we do the exact same thing. We rely on visual information from a speaker's lips to predict what they're going to say. In other words: we make use of multimodal leverage.

The twin notions of scale relativity and multimodality explain what makes MUM possible. As some of you have pointed out, there's another aspect that we can't ignore: utility. Google will be using MUM to make money. Which means that they'll have to train MUM to make you spend it. But if you're uncomfortable with this idea, you are uncomfortable with capitalism in general. Which is fair, but I think it's important to keep it in mind.

As I'm sure they've already considered at Google, MUM can be used to revolutionize education. Imagine people all over the world having access to an expert instructor who can answer all of your questions. You might think this sounds like a dream, but we're a mere stone toss away from achieving it. That's the true power of scale relativity + multimodality: we can now make advanced systems that can communicate with us.

I appreciate the skeptics and naysayers here: you keep the rest of us sane. For that, I thank you. At the same time, I want you to open your eyes to the possibility that something very important and transformative is happening right now. You don't have to go full Kurzweil, but I think you would benefit from reflecting on the opportunities this new technology might offer.
I think this book is more UX, but it has a good set of basics that I can agree with.
I don’t know if `pwndbg’ does this (or some other add-on maybe) but something I’ve haven’t seen since macsbug on a classic Mac: when stepping through a disassembly at a conditional branch, the PC line will state whether the branch will be taken and the target address. Saves all that tedious mucking about for the status register.
I'm sick of the hodgepodge of different techniques needed to get notified of blog updates.

But I'd prefer this was a separate web service rather than tied to chrome so I can view it on safari on my phone too. But if Google makes it more attractive for websites to support RSS then more tools/readers will become available.

Look at the before and after pictures of when they released the ML crop:

https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc...

All those examples show large improvement. Of course they might cherrypick images with large improvement for their blog advertising the feature. But still, it illustrates why people would think it's a good idea.

Of course they don't seem to consider the idea of not cropping at all.
