> The real reason Nvidia is doing this is that when mining profitability inevitably drops, either because of a crypto price crash or Ethereum moving to Proof of Stake, the miners will flood the used market and ruin Nvidia's profits for a few quarters.

Taking into consideration that the gamer segment is now well aware that miners and scalpers are ruining their supply, I really hope that when the flood of used cards happen, nobody with a grain of salt will buy devices that have run at 98% their thermal limit for years.
I really hope that market-ruining miners will find themselves with a ton of hardware nobody wants anymore.
Contact support and ask nicely. AWS is often quite reasonable about at least partially forgiving small charges in such cases.

> the big revolution in the last 20 years is not faster computers, it's mobile ones

Surely the improvements in manufacturing processes, faster hardware and better screens are partly responsible for that. The iPhone as a concept has existed since the 1980s, and revolutionary ideas like what General Magic tried to produce in the 90s were just too early to be successful. When Apple tried it again in the late 00s it was a massive success, but technology finally reached a point when it was commercially feasible.

So it doesn't take much to push a product to mass adoption. Just the right industry circumstances, a manufacturer willing to take the risk and capable hardware and software existing to make it happen.

> We've just been through an unprecedented period of demand for at-home entertainment, and the hardware that many said was finally, finally the thing turns out once again not to matter.

Are you dismissing the potential of VR/AR as well? The current innovation wave we're on is much bigger than whatever we had before. Headsets are becoming cheaper, more comfortable and accessible, and the visual tech we have now is leaps and bounds better than previous generations. Once we get to being able to put on sunglasses and experience different worlds, though likely sooner than that, the market adoption will likely go through the roof.

> People have had those excited faces every time.

I think it's different this time. It's not just it being 3D, but the merging of new generations of light field cameras, face/eye tracking, powerful ML algorithms, low latency networks and revolutionary displays is miles ahead of previous attempts. You can't just compare this to the ViewMaster and last century VR. The improvements here are much more substantial, and if they can make it cheap and reliable enough it could be a ground breaking product.
I think there's a means-ends thing going on here. Everything you say here is very plausible.

The problem with Wokeism (a term I don't like btw) is the means. We all broadly agree on the ends.

The individualist things this type of change can be bottom-up (individual -> group) and the wokeist wants it to be top-down (group -> individual).

In the former case the intuition is that we aren't going to be able to solve the group problem, so starting at the group level is a waste of time and a bit tyrannical. All we can do is empower individuals who, over time, will aggregate and approximately solve the group problem.

I agree however that it has to be both top-down and bottom-up. I think wokeism as ideology of over-reaction, is towards the extreme end of that top-down approach.
That's an intriguing approach (AI summaries).

I've got an intense dislike for the scrum-of-scrum approach. If you've ever happened to read A Fire Upon The Deep there's a cool alien species in there that has, essentially, a configurable brain topology. Interesting musings there on how those configurations modify their thinking.
Besides all the suggestions for GnuPG/OpenPGP-based SSH keys, there's also "-O resident" for FIDO2-based keys.

This also stores the private key on the security key itself, removing the need for the key handle file.

> you go into Instagram and aggressively curate your feed to be hyper-specific to a (visual) niche you're interested in, it can be really, really great.

I can attest to that. From the beginning I didn't intend my IG to be some personal thing (there's no photo of me in there or details about my private life), just following some artsy subjects I was interested in back in the day. In the meantime is has changed into a feed of modernist and brutalist architecture (I really like that subject) and there's some really neat things I saw in there.

My SO uses IG very similarly, her feed is now filled up by pets, mostly border collies (we have one at home).
Things like this make me feel more and more disassociated with science fiction TV shows / films. I'm sure they intentionally don't make communications too good, because then - with tech like this - people would go "lame, that's just the other actor in a box behind a glass pane", instead of "oo that is cool sci fi technology".

I mean we used to marvel at things like Star Trek, but nowadays a smartphone is miles ahead of a lot of "day to day" things they showed in there. Foldable screens are coming too, and now this.

I mean I don't believe this thing will be commonplace at all in the near future, but it's still cool. I think it'll be integrated into smartphones within the decade though. It's already mostly possible with the front-facing camera + light field of iphones, plus AR, plus motion sensor technology, plus the load of processing power they put in there.
But that’s the thing, it’s NOT random. It’s just unlikely scenarios. Dreams still follows the general model of the world.
I love these older style websites that clearly are someone's passion and contain a lot of niche information without all the cruft of modern sites. It's one of the inspirations for why I host my own blog and keep it quite light resource wise. It would bring me joy to be able to help others with information that I've written on the blog so I don't want it to be at the mercy of a social network or corporation. I was just contacted by a person doing a similar thing I had written about on my blog and they asked if they could contact me later with questions if they run into problems. It really made my day, knowing that something I did had meaning for others.

Of course, at some point the author of the website (like me) will move on to other things or get too old to run it, and what happens then? I hope the Internet Archive can handle it, but I fear there's too much to store. But I guess that's just how these things have always gone, no matter if it's a website or a book or a collection, there's just too many things in the world to store them all forever.

But I digress. I just want to raise my hat to you who runs one of these websites, filling it with information on whatever your passion is, for others to enjoy and learn from. I think it's a meaningful gesture and I hope you get as much out of it as the anonymous readers do.

I think it's the case that they need clear conclusive proof of who was driving the car, and some cameras are probably crappy anyway.

Although I think for a lot of people if they were to pull up the driving licence of who the car's registered to, and masked-photo, it'd be pretty obvious - but I'm not sure how the law really works. Maybe for fleet-cars you might have some additional challenges.

Here's the article about it:
https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/face_masks_fool_finlands_...

Edit: I'm British and the standard there is that the car is photographed from the rear and the owner has the legal liability to identify who was driving or face equivalent or worse sanctions. There seem to be both social and technical differences between the two (UK is almost exclusively radar based - and the evidence the police show must have the car crossing painted lines to show the speed. Some privacy concerns about who you might have been pictured in the car 'with'. In Finland they seem to be triggered by inductive coils in the road? I don't know, but I've never ever seen the painted lines)

> Crypto is a decentralized meme stock

Yes — insofar as cryptocurrency market valuation is based entirely on narrative.

No — in terms of it being possible to spend and store bitcoin sans trusted third parties.

(E.g. a Chilean real estate project developer — a Canadian expat without Chilean residency — once explained to me he had no choice but to use bitcoin in SA because the banks there refused to process his company’s regular large wire transfers.)

Bitcoin is in fact a bearer instrument, regardless of your beliefs about its credibility. How many national currencies are bearer instruments also without credibility in your eyes, for instance, and where does Bitcoin rank on that list?

> Unless crypto finds a way to become just a normal currency, it'll go the way of all memes over time: dead, once everyone and their grandma is sharing it.

That’s a narrative no better than any other which gets fielded every day on the crypto markets, although the benefactor of it is unclear to me. Cash and cryptocurrency are incredibly liquid compared to competing PMs and real estate. The S&P is down since 1970 when measured in gold, and central banks are racing to inflate fiat currencies.
For the fiat to satoshi column it would make sense to use "undivisible" units of the fiat. For example, Korean won is only 2 satoshi, but AFAIK the minimal banknote is 1000 won.

That is unlike Russian ruble, for example, which has 1 ruble coins in pretty active use.

I think the column would be more insightful this way.

I don't understand how this isn't a rehash of Google's PageSpeed push during early 2010s. I do remember having to do the same kind of procedure to get better SEO: measure against PageSpeed's metrics set and optimise the bad results.

Other systems allow something similar using TPM. Both Linux and Windows can use a hardware non-exportable key with SSH that way.

It doesn't allow for the touch verification on use, but it's still better than having a file in the disk. Security scale would be:

- TPM
- touchid
- hardware gpg/SSH key
- hardware u2f key

I was about to ask for that in the comments section, thanks! Unfortunately my country (Romania) seems not to be on the list but maybe one will find a way to contribute to that list.

Talking about Romania and airfields, I think that information (the location of the airfields) was some State secret for a long time. There are some military topographical maps (mostly from the 1970s) where not one airfield or airport is shown [1]. Otherwise those maps are full of other very interesting details (like the location of mineral resources). For example if one zooms in to the Northern area of Bucharest where its two airports are located there's nothing on those maps.

> 3) SSH without certificates is more vulnerable to MITM than HTTPS (with certificates)

Why would you claim that? As long as any CA with its root certificate in your trust store can vouch for any identity, I would argue that TOFU (where you verify the remote resource's key is in control of the identity you intend to connect with) is less prone to having your connection MITM'd, since the attacker would have to either break the underlying cryptography, or exfiltrate the remote's private key.

With the CA system in place, you "just" need to get another CA to sign for the identity you would like to spoof. Not saying it's easy, but for the proverbial "nation state"-level attacker (maybe with their own CA root already in your trust store :)), it's certainly easier to do that than to break RSA or EC.
A more concrete reason that the term "propagation" misleads people is that they're convinced that a DNS-based authentication token (like a TXT record that proves control of a domain) won't be visible to a validator until the record has "propagated", even if the validator has never checked that record before, or even if the validator doesn't use a cache.

I encounter this confusion all the time when helping people use Let's Encrypt, which can use TXT records this way.

There's another phenomenon which is a little bit more akin to "propagation" but which doesn't exist in all DNS infrastructure: especially if your DNS provider is very distributed or multihomed, there may be a synchronization time for all of its authoritative DNS server instances to find out about the new records. This is typically "push" rather than "pull", following the concepts of this article, but it's still not exactly what people are likely to think of as "DNS propagation": its speed is totally unrelated to TTL values, and it only exists for some DNS hosts, not all.
And for all of that, you need GA because...?

Speaking of "modern retro computing" there is already a player in the town: C256 Foenix [1]. Based on 65c816, affordable, powerful and - most important - already available and well tested. It definitively deserve for user interest. For curious - there is an emulator available [2] (even one-and-half, because mine [3] is rather limited and created mostly for Forth [6, 7] development).

320x240 (double-pixel), 640x480, 800x600 all with 8 bit colors - 2 to 4MB of RAM, SD-card, IDE, FDD, joysticks, DVI for modern monitors - there are even expansion cards (second monitor(!), Ethernet) already available.

Community is - currently - small and it affects the amount of software available, unfortunately - but it is a matter of time, I hope.

There is a wiki [4], but discussions and deep technical details are available mostly on project Discord [5].

Or is that you refuse to address the complexity of "Regulations"? The easy seduction of oversimplification runs high with those whose argumentation is primarily a fallacious appeal to emotion.

Just normal wear, accelerated because it's always under load. The used cards are fine most of the time if the temperatures were stable under 80-90 degC.

The main cause of failure is the VRM, those components are the hottest, least reliable and least cooled.

Some people get so comfortable with a mask, that it's more trouble temporarily removing it, than to just keep wearing it for the whole trip, even when outdoors or in their car.

A respirator mask also filters out pollen, and particulate pollution and fine dust from traffic. Some people used these even before pandemic, when outside in polluted areas. And if you really hate the feeling of insects flying in your mouth when bicycling, a mask prevents that, too.
Spivak's Calculus, which is really an introduction to Analysis, was that book for me. The way to approach it was to forget everything you learned about math in high school and learn it from the ground up in this book, as it will provide you with so much more insight and appreciation for how it all comes together

Some of the book's best content is actually the exercises; notoriously difficult, but incredibly rewarding as spending the time to solve them them really prepares you for upcoming chapters
> Gold mining uses something like 140 terawatt-hours of energy annually, and produces enormous pollution and environmental destruction in addition to that.

The most apropos commentary in this entire thread yet.
Something pretty similar to the AST example in another thread can be implemented in Typescript using sub typing (as it happens, trying to do something like that is how I first found out about GADTs). Looking into existential types, I see that one of the things they can be used for is OOP style subtype polymorphism [1]. Are there things you can do with existential types that can't be done with subtyping?

A little disappointed not to find Llandow, the WWII airfield I grew up near in South Wales. After the war its great open streaches of runway became the focus of much unofficial (then later offical) motorsport. Traders and scrap merchants took over the hangers and it grew into a trading estate. It turned from a patch of open farmland into a shabby, noisy but interesting place.

Plenty, although it's very hard to do a fully randomised trial of mask wearing on its own when everyone is also social distancing and hand washing.

I know of no studies which suggest that mask wearing is a health risk, and plenty that suggest it's a health benefit.
I'm quite skeptical, not sure those chinese PV panels consider the emissions generated by the mining, shipping and recycling of those panels.

"Cheap" or "cost competitive" is irrelevant if you don't consider the carbon cost.

It is very difficult to have an accurate carbon accounting, not to mention that fossil fuels will be burned when there's no wind or sun.

The best energy/carbon ratio has always been nuclear if you make an accounting on a full year.

It's important to define on what field one would compete, because there are no moral incentives to compete on carbon emissions, and monetary cost is decorrelated from the carbon cost. It's easy to shift emissions from one place to another. Anybody can say "green energy is cheaper", and define solar panels as being green while their carbon balance sheet is not so good.
