> But at scale you need lots of nodes/computational power and therefore lots of money. It doesn’t really make a difference whether you buy graphics cards in a pow world or ethereum in a pos world, you need lots of capital to be influential.

You're missing the energy part of the equation (opex), that is continuously required.

Some HNers would unironically support that.
In meme culture, the "virgin" is what everyone else is doing, and the "chad" is why whatever you're proposing is better.

Its... not actually mean in the context of the meme. But... yeah, meme culture is weird. Its kind of comparable to South Park's "F Word" episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_F_Word_(South_Park)).

The words "virgin" and "chad" have changed meaning within the scope of the meme, must like how the F word changed meaning for the south park episode.

But on the other hand: its silly to expect everyone else (especially people who aren't into meme culture) to understand the joke. Knowing how the words are interpreted outside of the meme is also important.

--------

With that being said: I don't think anyone meming "Virgin or Chad" actually wants their code to be used professionally. Its a joke: and the code itself is likely a joke. I'm interested in reading over the .h to see how it works later, but I imagine that its probably got a bunch of weird stuff going on.
Run `top`, sort by CPU or RES, depending on want is overspent.

If Firefox is still somehow responsive, open about:performance and identify the CPU-hungry tab(s), then close them.
This kind of idea is very interesting, but I won't comment on future plans.
Yes, but you'll note that this is an argument I never made.
Do you have any evidence for that. It's very likely you had dreams with both experiences but just didn't realise it.
> Ralph Baric invented modern coronavirology. He was Zhengli Shi's mentor, and published frequently with her in the past. He signed Jesse Bloom's and Alina Chan's letter in Science calling for further investigation of the origins of SARS-CoV-2:

I read the Science article; the way it was drafted doesn't really specifically rule any particular thing out however. It's just calling for a further investigation, and says that both hypotheses remain "viable", which is an extremely low bar in science.

Combing Jasnah's thread with another by Andersen (https://twitter.com/K_G_Andersen/status/1391507230848032772), it paints a picture that any explicit engineering seems a bit far fetched. I have yet to seen any specific responses to these critiques of lab engineered FCN site hypothesis. Instead, I see mountains of people who are not in a position to critically evaluate these claims. Science is both an institution and a process, and not everyone is equally qualified to evaluate the evidence.
That's inaccurate, a core feature of Ponzi schemes is that they require fraudulent activity, where someone is lying to participants about how much money is "theirs" and the way in which it grows.

Cryptocurrencies don't do that, the system isn't lying to you about how many whatevercoins you own.

Pyramid-scheme? Maybe.
Pump-and-dump? Happens sometimes.
Hugely speculative asset? Definitely.

I'd take this with a grain of salt for now
I think the overhead is something more like 15MB per process, on Windows. It is higher on other OSes, due in part to the way they load executables. In practice, the total overhead is less bad than you might expect, because people usually don't have that many unique sites open. Telemetry shows that unique sites per tab decreases as the number of tabs increases.

It really depends on what web sites you have open. If you have a single tab with an ad-laden news site, the overhead will be high, but if you have a bunch of Google Docs tabs open, there's no overhead.
For future reference, most windows apps keep their settings in the AppData/Roaming folder in your user folder. There's a useful shortcut as an env variable - type %APPDATA% into explorer to go straight there.

System-wide settings and state should be stored in C:\ProgramData.
If hacking billions of dollars of cryptocurrency was actually easy, plenty of people who are not rich right now would be very very rich. Alternatively, if PoS chains are vulnerable because you can hack exchanges and use their coins to attack, then PoW chains are vulnerable because you can hack exchanges, sell the proceeds to buy ASICs (or just buy the ASIC company), and use those ASICs to attack the PoW network.

Hacking billions of dollars of cryptocurrency is NOT easy, and it gets harder with every passing month, because validators and hodlers have billions of dollars of incentive to protect themselves.
The scalpers are there because the supply of cards is too low. There is a global supply crunch for pretty much everything right now, but Nvidia also doesn’t want to build out supply for something (mining) which they consider a short term issue.

Increasing supply is the way to get rid of scalpers.

The public suffix list is also used by other browsers to determine whether resources are cross origin (see below), not just by Firefox. So, I think it's a pretty authoritative list, and also consider that domains are added by formal request of the domain holder, not as a result of someone's curation.

That list is the reason why CORS behaves differently e.g. across two subdomains like [subdomain].herokuapp.com (requests are considered cross origin) in comparison with two subdomains of the type [subdomain].[myowndomain.ext] (requests are considered same origin)[1] - the reason for this difference is that herokuapps.com is part of that list.

[1] unless you added your own domain to the public suffix list.
Hm, no, not really.

Energy production is not zero-sum with some fixed amount of non-renewables.

If I install solar on my house, I'm not forcing anyone else to use non-renewables. If I then use that solar to mine crypto, I'm... still not forcing anyone to use more non-renewables.
Have you been both an entrepreneur and an employee (after having been an entrepreneur)? I have. I'm pretty sure the skillsets for each are completely different.
I'm from Brazil too, and my eye glasses are recommended by a optometrist. The only way an optometrist to work is being an ophthalmologist with specialization in "optometry". It is a sad reality from our bureaucratic government that don't give us freedom to innovate.
Eeeeeh, I give a lot less credence to that then I did when I was in college - back then it seemed like everyone was pirating everything (because, facts) but now a days a major consumer for video games is the millennials that have passed the cash vs. free time tipping point of piracy being attractive.

Also, reasonably priced services now exist - I used pandora when I was in college and enjoyed it even with how hamstrung and limited it was - now I use spotify and like... why even bother pirating music now?

Sure occasionally pirating a big title from Ubisoft out of spite alone is pretty attractive but I mostly just nab things off Steam and leave it at that.

Nintendo's anti-piracy efforts are so incredibly misguided - the hardware is the majority cost expenditure for most users and you've already collected that cost so why not try and make your platform not annoying. Allow people to mod games and run indy titles if they so desire. Most of this anti-piracy stuff is just lowering the value to the end consumer anyways.
Once the audio chat feature is seamlessly integrated, I even consider ditching my old mumble server for it. Or not. Probably not. Our group just needs audio, with the occasional picture flood, until they get it out of their system. Since some (me include) won't use Discord due to privacy concerns, I still hope for a good and reliable self hosted alternative. A more modern user interface sure would be nice.
We'll, it's 80 in both US and Germany and the total health-related expenditure per capita is twice as high in the US than Germany. I think the question is what that extra money is buying
Using Oculus Quest 2 had me just walking around my room in wonder about seeing straight through the headset for a bit.
The ask you made was lazy nonsense. My use of language was imprecise. Fwiw I'm not offended in the slightest but think about it logically:

- language is important?

- speaking predates writing?

- in our current society writing is the source of truth?

This is the premise he implicitly asked for in order to voice his sentiment ... and you deny him even that without him listing a source (which is precisely the thing he was concerned with).

Meme stock drum beating over social media isn’t the same thing as MLM.

What’s the average PE ratio up to now on the S&P?

Land, where? Real estate is just as inflated as the stock market if not moreso; it also comes with a tax liability at minimum, and is far less liquid than equities, cash and cryptos.

PMs are no different from cryptocurrency in any meaningful respect, and are actively worse on many fronts — e.g. where do you custody it, how do you verify it, how do you exchange it easily, how do you prevent it from being seized or stolen.

Look, there’s a reason humans invented fiat currency. It would just be better if that currency were A) global, B) of fixed supply, and C) controlled by computer algorithms instead of political institutions.

> Consider the obvious problem with your stated benefits of crypto: for every supposed benefit, there are already other, better solutions.

That’s mostly true of non-money — read: non-bearer asset — use cases, like those epitomized by Ethereum and its many competitors.
What kind of "influence in the network" do you gain by staking?

(Keep in mind that in present-day Ethereum, the influence that PoW miners have in protocol governance is pretty minimal)
I'm not sure how you'd get that fine-grained when syncing with a normal file syncing service. That said, I'm generally not modifying entries in my password manager on two machines at the same time, nor am I dealing with long periods without connectivity, so I've never found this limitation to be a problem.

The bootstrapping problem is an interesting one. Instead of just having a master password for the password manager, you also have to have the file sharing password as well. Like you, I've somewhat accepted this situation.

For the home fire scenario, offsite backups are the answer. When you restore your backup (likely with yet another password involved!), the recent-ish local copy of the password database will be restored with it and you can use the passwords stored in that to bootstrap the syncing process.

My current offsite backup regime is just a pair of portable USB drives. One is at my office, the other is at home, and I rotate them weekly (COVID messed this up). There are many other ways to do this - cloud services, a NAS sitting at a friend's place, external drives in a bank safe deposit box, etc.
Really?!?

That actually pisses me off. Makes me feel like I have been wasting money
For a resource-constrained machine, uBlock Origin + Auto Tab Discard save a lot of resources and keep a window with 100 tabs quite usable.
This is worse. This is like curbing door locks to combat burglary.

Like, the cops know there have been burglaries, so now everyone must leave their house open so it can be inspected for stolen goods.

It’s that stupid.
that's what everyone says but imagine 10 years from now someone proves BQP < P. since that proof will entail a ptime reduction you'll immediately have a ptime shor's and etc.

The oldest artefacts/ruins of Dwarka can be reliably dated to 1500 BC, which is well past the age of city building in that region. Most of the ruins are from the Vedic age (although it may have been a Harappan city before).

The article refers to complex structures built before 10,000 BC, which is approximately established to be the age of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent/Anatolia (from which it is theorized to spread into Europe and S.Asia)

Yes. Or even if I have another tab on youtube or whatever and type in twitch, it will close the youtube process and switch to sharing the existing twitch process.
I suppose that’s the reason google made the investment- to find out.
Wow, I travelled in Cuba in 2007 and I was completely unaware of this. I was aware of the double economy and how there are some buses that the locals don’t use and vis-versa (same is true in my country; in both cases it is more about price and convenience then access). But hotels for locals only completely missed my attention.
> Or you can buy DaVinci Resolve for $295 and get a lifetime license.

I make good money, and so dropping $20 on something for a new hobby is something I do without thinking, but $295 is something I have to consider. And I'm a software developer who makes a decent salary. It's more than 10x the cost. It takes fifteen months before that breaks even.

> And they make a Linux version.

I'm not a Linux user, so this isn't something I particularly care about these days.

Something I didn't talk about in the original post: I did try a few $0 editing programs at first, and I know that DaVinci Resolve stacks up pretty okay here, but one of the main reasons I went with Premire is how easy it is to get help with virtually everything, given how widely it's used. As someone who is at the "I don't even know what I don't know" stage, that's a real advantage. This isn't part of the whole "monthly fee SaaS vs one-time license" aspect of things, but it did factor into my overall decision.
I totally agree, everything about the tv license system just feels outdated, desperate and confusing. I still have trouble understanding what they consider to be "Live TV", especially with the YouTube example. Is that all live content? Or do I need to cross-reference my intended live content with what's being broadcast to see if it counts?

I generally avoid getting a tv license due to this and keep to online services, only bother to pay and watch live tv if there's an election due.
Sure, I would. Bitcoin proves that proof of work is unsustainable and uses too much energy.
It's a matter of loyalty - miners have zero loyalty and will always buy whatever their spreadsheet says is cheapest.

In contrast, gamers tend to stick with brands, and if they're forced to switch due to lack of supply, their loyalty (and therefore future bias toward you company) might switch with it.

So while miners may be willing to pay more money per card today, they're not worth the future loss of revenue.

Like you said, you don't buy Nvidia because you're concerned about Nvidia support. If Nvidia was the only option, you would likely decide "fuck it", deal with any Nvidia problems (and become more familiar with running Nvidia) and become less concerned about Nvidia problems in the future because you have more experience dealing with them. And that means AMD may have lost future sales to you.

The central question is how was the land abutting each station zoned? Did they change the zoning to allow for more development? Or did it remain mostly residential-zoned and just change from single-family to multi-family?

The reason rail works beautifully in other countries is that you can get off the train and walk to useful destinations, even if where you disembarked isn't where you live. Shinkansen in Japan have tons of shopping, nice restaurants, and hotels all within a block or two of the station. So there's a reason for non-residents to stop as well as residents. And because everything surrounds the station there's no point for residents to go anywhere else.
> The web platform standard as we know it essentially specifies that the browser belongs to the website operator (within some sandboxing guarantees), not to the browser user.

And that is precisely the problem. Once website operators get it through their thick heads that the browser is user property, not theirs, things might start to improve.
It might mathematically keep you in charge forever, but if you can stop almost anyone from being able to profit then it's very unlikely people will invest enough to override you.

And the motivation not to do it is the same, people will get mad and stop using the grossly manipulated coin.

The speed limit of the universe is light speed. If you were to send a powered probe into the universe at almost the speed of light, and then send a light speed signal out on top of that, it would still be sent at the speed of light.

Eg, no signal sent from any probe will ever get as far as our first radio signals sent into the universe, unless we find a faster than light solution.

I'm glad the Notion works for you, but I think we have a long way to go to reach perfection. To pick an example from the post, even indentation needs work. There's also always more work to do to make the product faster and easier to use.
> a self-identified gender that in this case differs from the writer's apparent sex

Sorry, but this is pretty tone deaf itself. How are you, or I, or anyone but the author suited to judge their stated gender? Shouldn't we leave that distinction up to them and just move on?

The point of this discussion is the tech she is working on, and I think that's a really valuable conversation in and of itself.
Jeez I know all that and support this move by NVIDIA. Fuck the miners for all I care, I thought I said as much in my original post.

I just don't think they're 'infringing on my freedoms' or whatever.
It’s really baffling how clueless these lawmakers (still) are when it comes to technology… but they just might not care and are just trying to push some new surveillance agenda again…

partners and distributors are forcing retailers and etailers to take PSUs and motherboards if they want to get GPUs, frequently very shitty mobos+PSUs that have been stuck in inventory for a long time and they've been having trouble moving. Like, large quantities, 50 A320 motherboards for one GPU type quantities.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxGtMHXWpMw&t=300s

This is one of the reasons that Newegg is doing the Shuffle with those terrible deals - they are passing some of the junk they've been forced to buy along. So now you get a 3 year old watercooling-only mobo and a grenade-tier PSU with your GPU.

This applies to brick and mortar stores too, it's not just about keeping PC builders happy, but if they let one guy walk in and buy every GPU they've got, then they don't get the person coming in to build a PC and buying a motherboard, memory, etc, and they need to move those products because distributors are making them buy them to get GPUs.

The behavior of the AIB partners and distributors is really, really predatory here, they are definitely taking advantage of being the ones in control of a highly desirable commodity.
Of course Open Source is underfunded. If you give your work away for $0, people will value the work to be worth $0. The “gift economy” and expecting people to freely give $ doesn’t work in practice. Yes a few do but most don’t. That’s why most successful OSS is developed by people who is paid a salary and work on it as part of their job.

I mean vs. traceable crypto. When you mine crypto, it essentially poofs out of nothing into your hand: there is nothing to trace it "from", as it were, on the blockchain, as the electricity you paid for it isn't recorded in that ledger; so, if you want to do something illegal with money, and you need to figure out a way to control some funds that no one can work out "is you", mining crypto is a great way to do it: you pay for electricity in fiat and obtain a fundamentally unrelated pile of crypto.
DRM isn't encryption just obfuscation.
We can have the cake and eat it too: it's called stablecoin.

1. Park your ETH/WBTC/BAT (a whole bunch of other tokens) on a smart contract as collateral so that you can withdraw a token that is pegged to the USD, or just go to a regular exchange to buy the stablecoin.

2. Use this token to make transactions online.

Tax advantages: you are not selling your volatile crypto, so you don't have to declare any sales or profits. On the other hand, if the crypto you place loses so much in value to the point where the smart contract liquidates you, you don't need to return the stable token and you can get a tax write-off.
