On a related note, I wanted to share my amazing experience with a similar but lo-fi tech.

My mom and dad for the past 2-3 years have mostly lived in two separate countries (due to work reasons) and I could tell they miss each other quite a bit.

I got both of them an Echo Show 10" device each and set it up for them. I don't think I can explain how our lives have changed for the better, just based on this simple piece of tech.

The Echo Show is now pretty much constantly on video call for 14-16 hours a day in the living room of both houses and it has become an extension of the one another; a window into the other house. The audio and mics are good enough that at times you genuinely forget the other person is not in the same room. This has truly helped them, especially during Covid times.

It's actually good enough that my parents have their morning tea together practically almost the same way they used to when they were physically together. They've told me multiple times "I don't know how we could've lived without this Alexa thing".

If Google can eventually get the prices down to reasonable levels, I really think people would be shocked at how fast this thing becomes part of our daily lives.

GPUs by definition are not general purpose computers. Remember the G in GPU stands for Graphics, not General.
Sorry, a bit late to reply but I'm mostly referring to the 'get the logs once your system is in a bad state) I've had better experience with file logs and database files than f'd-up journald logs... I think I saw somewhere a way to set a table as append-only and to put triggers to remove old entries in sqlite. If not pg is also your friend, what with partitioning and write-only tuning. I'm just not sure about the 'designed' part. Rsyslog is a great logger, hugely tuneable, with decades of advanced features, and I don't get why it could not be massaged to 'integrate' well in systemd, with all the money poured in it. The only explanation that I feel is convincing enough is control and made-in-redhat. I feel the same about ntp, and firewalld... But maybe I'm just old.
Yep, that's what worries me. They are cautious for now but if they don't meet pushback (or a financial hit) they might get bolder and start applying more and more restrictions.

This is likely too paranoid for many but the technical possibility is there and believing in the good heart of a huge business is to me not a sound strategy.
Depending on where you draw the line for middle east, and what counts as a democracy Turkey, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Yemen, Iraq, Kurdish autonomous regions, Afghanistan, and more have currently (or in recent history) had democracies. Those that have had democracy and lost it have done so usually because of foreign influence and wars (e.g. Afghanistan), although some have gained it because of wars (Kurdish autonomous regions). Now none of these might count as a true democracy in your books, and that is fine, but it is far from obvious.

I don’t think it is fair to generalize over such a vast region by making grand statements like “they truly believe...”. In fact most Kurdish autonomous regions were pretty quick to adopt democracy as their system of choise after they liberated them self from the Islamic State terrorist group during the Syrian civil war. And popular pro-democracy uprisings in Yemen would suggest counter to your statement.

I don't know how you think that if GPUs were cheaper then miners would be buying less of them. Miners are a black hole for computing power - they can absorb near infinite amounts of processors since they know (or strongly believe at least) that they'll pay for themselves pretty quickly.

I think Nvidia has some problems and their chips should be cheaper - but if that were the case then this solution (splitting the markets into regular consumers and miners) would be even more necessary.

I also disagree with it being malicious, I think it's a perfectly reasonable decision to attribute to some pretty sane decisions around market preservation. We here know about miners eating up the GPU supply, but for the average consumer Nvidia is just hording their chips or they're idiots that didn't produce enough - no matter what the imagined reason they're the people between the average consumer and shiny ray tracing in minecraft.
No, it’s the job market that dictates what people write.

It’s frustrating that people I care about who are going for entry-level positions will fail an interview because they didn’t demonstrate usage of the interviewer’s pet favourite reinvention of some basic UI development concept.

I'm not familiar with any definition of the word principle that includes the idea of "concise".

Principle as I'm using it here is a moral belief or guide. It's less a description of what you do and more an explanation for why you do what you do.
So what policy action are you proposing? In other words, what do you think voters should push the American government (or whatever government you elect, assuming you live in a democracy) to do?

If you believe that a lab accident is so unlikely as to not be worth investigating further, then your position is rapidly becoming as fringe as the opposite was four months ago--you disagree here with Tedros, Redfield, Baltimore, Baric, any quote I've seen anywhere from the intelligence community, and many other big names. But if that's your sincere belief, why wouldn't you push for a forensic investigation of natural origin (e.g., allowing scientists not permanently under the CCP's physical control to collect samples from agricultural sites, and ship them out under seal for testing outside China)?

Finally, just for my curiosity: Do you agree with the consensus that the 1977 flu pandemic (which killed ~700k people) was probably a lab accident? Or do you think that one was definitely natural too?
The disagreement isn't about how sanctions work, you're right about that. Taiwan is acutely threatened and their airspace and waters are routinely violated by the PLA. They're attempting to infiltrate the country on all fronts - through the media, through their democratic system and by recruiting Taiwanese to infiltrate the country from within, same as they did in HK before the takeover. There should be heavy sanctions for what is happening already, and not just with HK and Taiwan. If the CCP were to invade this would be an action far beyond sanctions, we can't just throw all these people under the bus! Taiwan is an independent and free country with over 23 million people. It would be like watching them invade the Netherlands without sending military help.

Mainland China is well connected and increasingly powerful, it's not like North Korea or a Soviet Union when they were close to economic collapse. In many ways the Chinese system is actually more resilient than the US or the EU. Taiwan needs to be defended, the CCP has to be stopped right there. If sanctions were all that was standing between them and Taiwan, the Republic of China would be history already.

I guess you are referring to the Tragedy of the Commons[0] but in the market efficient economy there should be enough producers(supply) to serve high aggregate demand. This action by NVIDIA only shows that GPU industry is highly concentrated and that more competition is needed. It seems like NVIDIA is a victim of its own success since it can not produce enough GPUs.

No principle exists in a vacuum. In practice, all are balanced against other principles.

Let's run with your "software should be free" as an example. Licenses like the GPL family apparently work against that, in that they add restrictions. But so-called "viral" licenses aim to maximize a different kind of freedom for a larger number of less powerful players. Some call this hypocritical, but it's just balancing principles while taking into account outcomes.

Another way to put it is that principles for most aren't religious commandments; they're mental tools to push the world toward a set of preferred results.

It is astonishing to me that this has to be stated explicitly like this for people to see this for what it is.

"Turkeys voting for Christmas" comes to mind.

Cryptocurrency offers the opportunity to break away from the current hegemony - only for people to hand over the power back to the powerful.

Perhaps the world is in the current state - because that's what we deserve? (because we keep voting for it?)
In the same way that a scientific theory was meaningless if it failed a test, a principle was meaningless if it needed to be adjusted when actually put to use.
Primarily because it seems logical that the government would own the largest amount of land in a country like the United States. No individual or institution would ever come close to the sheer amount of land the Federal Government obtained by treaty or by conquest.

I don't want to doubt we will find some use for more energy but... I think I have all the energy I need to be honest.

I don't lack for aluminium or even transatlantic flights (the most energy intensive think I could think of buying). If I really want to go to X I do. Price doesn't really bother me.

Maybe we can use 10x the current supply so everyone can have my lifestyle. But that's still vastly less than a Dyson sphere would produce.

For a long time energy was a limiting factor on human development. But I don't think that's true for the average westerner anymore. I want time off and less stress and relationships. Those mostly come down to social structures and information, not GJs...

Yes, but then my initial comment above about the Jewish population and the arab population is not confusing land and people. The Jewish population owned 2%, and the arab population owned X amount of land, while Y amount of land was owned cooperatively by individuals of both. It would be interesting to know what X and Y is.

The partitioning of land was obviously unfair after world war 2. I doubt anyone actually disagree with it. Land getting repossessed and captured during wars is never fair, and it was not the only border change that occurred when the world war ended. The allies did not just keep the borders at they were at the beginning of ww2, through much of the land grabs has been mostly forgotten outside of people studying history. The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is one of the few remaining land conflicts from the war.
> Look at the GTX960, which launched at $150 in 2014, against the 3060 which launched at an MSRP of $330.

Looks like I'll be hanging on to my 960 for the foreseeable future, then. I'm not interested in mining, but I've started thinking a bit about playing with CUDA, and I'm suddenly a lot less interested if Nvidia might decided to gimp my work because I inadvertently did $FOO that is commonly done by miners.
I agree with you, I'm also imagining these in public libraries, retirement homes, small village community centres.

We are definitely not out of touch with our user base. The reason I feel a high degree of confidence is that we currently have a major Postgres user moving to PlanetScale at the moment and they are loving the experience. This is v1 of our product. I have not seen a database product like this, that cares about the daily lives of the users that use it. I believe we can create a fundamental shift in how databases think about their users.

We concern ourselves with the productivity of our users. We also solve hard problems at scale, for many large companies. We have so many exciting developer focussed features that I think people will love, all the while being on a viable database. Vitess is by far the highest scale open source database solution out there.

Migration cost is a serious thing. We believe the immense leap in productivity you will gain over time from our product makes it more than worth it.

> A civilization MUST have already conquered the energy problem

There possibly are ever more exotic applications that require more energy. Energy to matter conversion which you mention (and which also conveniently produces antimatter) requires very very large amounts of energy. The mass defect of the Tsar Bomba is merely 2.6kg, which also happens to be roughly equivalent the energy the sun that hits the whole planet each second.
And then there are speculative things like the alcubierre drive or anything that involves moving entire stars.

How, exactly, has the energy waste argument been thoroughly debunked? As far as I can tell, the waste has increased exponentially in recent months.. which isn't the kind of factoid I'd put in the "debunked" column.

The vast majority of devices in a theoretical dyson sphere are energy collectors. These would be mostly flat with no atmosphere or gravity. Much larger 'space stations' could be built throughout the swarm that would have induced gravity or internal atmosphere.
Windows-only games can run on the Linux version of Steam using a feature built into the app called Steam Play, which allows games to be run on unsupported platforms using compatibility layers. Steam comes bundled with the Proton compatibility tool, a fork of Wine maintained by Valve. It has very high compatibility, as long as you aren't looking to play competitive multiplayer titles.

Here's a community maintained compatibility list: https://www.protondb.com/
Nvidia did not say it will be a hardware limitation. In fact, they will almost certainly implement it in software. For example a "Lite Hash Rate" card will probably have a bit permanently set to 1 in the firmware/eeprom. The driver will read the bit, and arbitrarily enforce the restriction on such LHR card. This solves potential legal issues of retroactively crippling cards already out in the market, since only new cards sold from now on as "LHR models" will have the bit set to 1.

But miners will find another software hack (just like they did for the RTX 3060 earlier) to bypass the restriction.

I still fail to understand how we've organised society so that the losers of a particular game don't eat. It's virtually decoupled from helping other people with stuff (which is what the economy purports to represent); you have old money, and nth-generation new money, and people working two jobs to afford rent.

I built Boostack MEVN SaaS boilerplate template

I have also created a coupon for IndieMakers community for an additional 30% discount during the checkout for a limited period, use the code MAKERS30 during checkout and the additional 30% discount will be applied automatically.
I agree. I think one thing that helps is what would change if another person joined.

Who owns the tech stack? Right now it's "me" but after another hire it would be *us*.

Famously warned against years ago by Drew McDermot:

However, in AI, our programs to a great degree are problems rather than solutions. If a researcher tries to write an "understanding" program, it isn't because he has thought of a better way of implementing this well-understood task, but because he thinks he can come closer to writing the first implementation. If he calls the main loop of his program "UNDERSTAND", he is (until proven innocent) merely begging the question. He may mislead a lot of people, most prominently himself, and enrage a lot of others.

Why Captcha tests are constantly changing
I still think it's pretty likely we'll see a work around, but if that work around is a custom made firmware patch (like it was for the driver update they deployed IIRC) then that will probably mean the chips you purchased have a less rosy long term cost as future driver updates won't be applicable to your altered firmware. If it requires any physical tinkering with the chip then it definitely increases the effective cost by forcing a labour/card cost and opening up the possibility of expected chip defect as you break some proportion of the hardware you purchase in the process of fixing it.

That all said - yea some people are totally going to hack that or my name isn't 46 DC EA D3 17 FE 45 D8 09 23 EB 97 E4 95 64 10 D4 CD B2 C2.

>but if you check the code for udevd at this moment you can see a lot of use of utility headers that are not really appropriate for a libudev:

That's fair.

Why not? You could make a library out of those utility functions and use it from both systemd and udev (without having to include most of libsystemd which doesn't seem useful for udev).

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It took a long time to put together. I started out by writing down how the entire system works with enough explanation for a technically-minded non-engineer, and enough detail to satisfy a newly hired infra engineer. That rough draft was about 10,000 words.

From there we started looking for a narrative. We extracted out the sections you see in the final post, and removed a lot of the superfluous technical detail so we didn't end up with technology buzzword soup; for example we cut discussion of Postgres, Memcached, etc etc, how we host the web servers; the kind of details that don't actually matter to the narrative.

The illustrations were in the post from the beginning as Mermaid diagrams (https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/). As we got close to publication we polished them up in Figma.

This is really the first engineering blog post we've put out, there was a fair amount of figuring-out-how-to-do-it going on. Now that we've had the experience, we're starting to write up our playbook internally.
