My most recent card purchase was used. I bought a used GTX 1070 for $230 in 2019, when the 2000-series was new. I've been happy with the price and performance; it hasn't died or anything.

> Aside from the recent drought of GPUs and pricing madness, you could buy low-end current-gen cards that could outperform higher-end previous-gen parts.

This wasn't true at the time. The high-end parts just have many multiples of the compute units of the low end cards. Nvidia 3xxx isn't 100% faster than 2xxx or 1xxx on a per-unit basis, and the x080 cards have several times the compute of the x030 or 50 parts.

Another relevant concern is GPU RAM; the lower end parts just have less RAM. Game performance completely falls over if more RAM is needed than the card has. Very large displays need a ton of GPU RAM.
Superchargers can only take around 25 minutes for a model y, it heavily depends how many people are on a charging station.
of course not every car can be "filled" with 250kW, it also is a huge wear on the battery.

btw. hydrogen energy cells are also subjected to wear, especially when doing a really really long trip.
energy density of course is still in favor for hydrogen, especially since they do not need to store oxygen, which means a hydrogen car only needs to keep half the fuel, but battery technologies are expanding way faster than hydrogen can keep up.
Maybe? I dunno, it's been a very long time since I cared about using any of them, and it's cheap enough now (and I like, have a real job and stuff, I'm not a kid and/or in college) that doing anything else would have taken more time than it's worth.
A theory of dreams should imo mention a few things:

* Lucid dreaming. In particular does lucid dreaming prevent the generalization benefits?

* Sensory deprivation hallucinations. It would seem this is connected to dreams, but is it?

* Tetris effect. It seems that seeing a lot of a given pattern primes the brain the brain to look for it everywhere.
Well, because it's Monte Carlo Tree Search with a learned evaluation function?
It's very simple. The price of Bitcoin converges towards the price of mining it. Making mining bitcoin easier will only lower its price in the long run. So increasing block size will only increase the amount of hashrate in the system and thus the profit per dollar invested will not change that much.

Given this information, is it worth rocking the boat while mining is still very profitable? No.

No, banks make new dollars, every time they make a loan. The amount of dollars on the books vastly exceeds the amount of currency printed, and is dominated by bank deposits. The Fed controls the money supply by regulating banks.

"Certain forms of IOUs" would include money in checking accounts, which is much more money than the total of all bills in circulation, and this is part of M1.
If there are star QBs that play DND (somehow I doubt there actually are that many) this is just proof that DND has gone mainstream and is therefore being commercialized as nerdy while actually not nerdy any more. This is known in some parlances as 'nerd-chic'.
a succinct, correct explanation imo. if your angry, it should be at crypto before anything else. a largely useless tech that has lots of negative externalities, like this one.
> and I understand that they cannot achieve this

Gonna need some citations here for this one.
Your point is neither obvious nor valid - Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started the company together. This individual seems to be a sole founder. You have completely missed the point of all of this....
This is how community standards works.

The government should never mandate that video card manufacturers do this, or don't do this.

If you don't like it, set up your own video card business that caters to crypto mining.

The vast majority of NVidia customers are applauding this move though.

This is the free market working, but if you're into crypto you may not like it because you're not winning the marketplace of ideas.

(And IMO if you support cryptocurrency you should appreciate this as well, because astronomically high GPU costs for gamers erodes the standing of cryptocurrencies in that demographic, it is very bad PR to just let GPU costs inflate -- people start to vehemently hate cryptocurrencies because of that effect).

There are significant international transaction fees. There are also merchant fees involved for sellers. Much like the ubiquitous credit card fees, you may not see it line-itemized on your bill, but the costs are absolutely part of the price you see at checkout.

Literally everything I buy with crypto, the crypto network fees are less than what I would have paid otherwise.
I can certainly understand and appreciate your point of view. You are free to disagree with mine and I am sorry that it might come off the condescending, it is certainly not what any of us want to convey.

However, we are also 1Password users and we build the product for ourselves. We are supporting millions of customers, several thousand support emails and tickets every day. And I am honest, the membership provides much better experience compared to standalone disjoined apps, manual syncing and lack of account recovery. The list of differences and improvements is huge. It certainly makes me sad when people think that it is only about sync.

I think it's just an argument against a unilateral decision by NVIDIA under the facade of morals. Businesses aren't people and don't have morals, everything they do is strategic and profit motivated, even if the people that compose them have morals.

My guess is that NVIDIA doesn't want one basket of demand dominating the majority of their demand while disenfranching all of their other demands in parallel computing (graphics, industrial/scientific, etc.). If they allow crypto to take the lionshare of their cards, consumers for the other demands will eventually seek out alternatives if they haven't already. That's all well and fine as long as crypto demand sustains whatever NVIDIA can supply indefinitely.

It's not so great if crypto demand for GPUs drops drastically, then NVIDIA is sitting there looking to drum demand back up from all their previous customers and markets. Essentially, they're likely just trying to distribute risk for a future demand portfolio.

I can't honestly believe any large investors or top level executives at NVIDIA are losing a second of sleep by having so much demand they have to turn people away. If they're losing any sleep it's all the lost profit they can't make because they can't meet full demand or because they're in a potentially risky situation.

Well in my case each row is a document and the table is just a a specific king of structure, but is not embeddable in a document. But the thing is how generic you want your tool to be. In the notion case, everything is just an instance of something. So that's super flexible, but also super complex. You can simplify things by enforcing a structure while still doing 95% of the use cases

There's a bunch of high-impact leaks that had a rather inscrutable nickname - from the front page of https://haveibeenpwned.com/, I certainly wouldn't be able to tell what does being affected by a "Collection #1" breach mean, or "Exploit.In" or "Anti Public Combo List".

That said, HIBP specifically does provide that information which is more than actionable, and that being the most prominent of these services, I'm not so sure what the complaint is about really either...
So what did you add here? Seems like just bullshit.

The person I was replying to took a phrase out of context and used it as an opportunity to advance an unrelated political agenda.

The topic of conversation didn’t change.
PV can give us about 10,000 times our current power even without building a Dyson swarm. Ten billion humans each regularly using a thousand times the power of the average current American could happen, but it’s ten times greater a change to how people live than was reaching modern day American power use relative to the day before the invention of fire (or domestication, whichever came first).
Not sure how "unique" this model is; for example Claris Works was built out of an even more powerful block model (they called them frames) back in the late 1980s:

> We came up with a frame-based approach. Most of the functionality particular to the various application types was packaged up into "frames": word processing frames, graphics frames, etc. These frames were then used as building blocks to make documents of the appropriate types, in a unified programming framework. E.g., a word processing document was essentially a bunch of text frames, one per page, linked together. (Doing this neatly was a big challenge - many subsequent efforts at building a component-based architecture (e.g. OpenDoc) have failed to take into account the top-level user interface requirements.) The result was that not only was most of the code shared across the document types, but the application was also truly integrated - the frames could be embedded in each other. E.g., you could plop a spreadsheet frame right into your word processing document. Text objects in a graphics document had a full-featured word processing engine behind them. The database form editor used the built-in graphics environment. Etc.

> One related cool thing we had was a "shared graphical context" mechanism: sometimes, stuff would wind up being displayed in multiple frames at once. E.g., maybe you're dragging an object across a page break in a document with multiple pages (like this). We developed a general architecture for displaying actions live in multiple contexts. Of course, a lot of this kind of stuff is old hat today, but it was new and exciting in 1989. Some creative programming was required to do these things efficiently on the hardware of the time.

> There were some cool features that didn't make it into the shipping product. For example, originally spreadsheet formulas were much more powerful: you could relate, e.g., graphical object positions and document properties to spreadsheet cells. So you could have the result of a calculation move objects around graphically, or vice-versa. (Further work in this direction led to a novel constraint-based programming paradigm called MOOSE, which I may resurrect some day...)

I've been kicking around the idea of writing a CRDT-based editor using this model.
Do they not understand that designers, and especially publishers, have projects that go on and need to still be editable for years and years? I have dozens of books on backlist from past decades with type 1 fonts. Some day I might want to do another printing run, in which case I need to be able to open them and edit the copyright page and fix typos and so on. Preferably when I do this I don't discover that the whole thing needs to be retypeset. Graphic designers must exist in the same position.

Thank God we use TeX/groff and not InDesign.
If this uses fully fledged lightfield[0] it might be able to.

FWIW I think some "left-wing market anarchists" like it as well. Further left probably not but they also just don't like markets.
Buyers beware as “altcoin” frenzy bruises Bitcoin
They have separate product lines for mining. I don't understand the complaint. NVIDIA probably gets a ton of complaints about miners "stealing" all of the GPU cards.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for them segregate the capabilities for their varying consumers.
There's a bit more detail in this Wired article (though it's still quite vague):

https://www.wired.com/story/google-project-starline/

> What I’m actually looking at is a 65-inch light field display. The Project Starline booths are equipped with more than a dozen different depth sensors and cameras. (Google is cagey when I ask for specifics on the equipment.) These sensors capture photo-realistic, three-dimensional imagery; the system then compresses and transmits the data to each light field display, on both ends of the video conversation, with seemingly little latency.

> All of the data is being transmitted over WebRTC... What Google claims is unique is the compression techniques it has developed that allow it to synchronously stream this 3D video bidirectionally.

That section, though a bit loopy, is not about basic math. It's about data science, stats, and word problems. Areas well open to interpretation. Other portions are like this too. I'd disagree with the headlines, but the foundational ideas and workbooks are okay to my eyes (I'm not a teacher, so I may be missing big stuff). On having many answers, consider an abacus instead of paper. That's the stuff they are talking about.

They state this:

"Of course, most math problems have correct answers, but sometimes there can be more than one way to interpret a problem, especially word problems, leading to more than one possible right answer.

And teaching math isn't just about solving specific problems. It's about helping students understand the deeper mathematical concepts so that they can apply them throughout their lives. Students can arrive at the right answer without grasping the bigger concept; or they can have an “aha” moment when they see why they got an answer wrong. Sometimes a wrong answer sheds more light than a right answer."

The authors have ~5 hours of videos explaining these workbooks. I've not watched them though.

The parent article is 'clickbait'/fake-news (from what I can see before the pay-wall).

The material and what the authors are saying seems, to my quick glance, to be as boring as the math classes I remember (though strangely worded).
Superseded scientific theories aren’t all “meaningless.” Newton’s laws of motion are superseded, but they aren’t meaningless, and you presumably wouldn’t say that scientists who updated their beliefs in the face of new evidence and explanations were doing anything wrong.
The only way to completely block access to the block chain thats remotely feasible are repeated 51% attacks and an impediment to general access.

That means raiding mining farms while limiting their number by limiting the size of Bitcoin.

Its only something the US or China could do.

Otherwise no, there is no way of completely blocking it. There are ways of making it impractical for the vast majority, though.
Please Dog, just one more bubble.
Could be the IPO effect which happened in late March. Their stock has dipped from $41 to $37 as of today and perhaps there is pressure from the investors to cut costs ? Just a guess.
So I understand why the spaces api is similar to rooms from a developers perspective, but why do they share the same # sigil as rooms and not take the old + community sigil?

Spaces seem conceptually different from rooms.
I can echo (no pun intended) this experience with the Echo Show, but I would love something much bigger and higher-def. My family is separated long-distance, and I would pay big money for a higher-def "window to another home" product.
Are those quantum speed ups for neural nets even good?

More specifically, are they better than the ones from "neuromorphic" chips like Intel Loihi?
I often interpreted this as a conservative interpersonal communicative approach. It is safer to talk about yourself than to ask questions from people because there risk of inadvertently saying something offensive.

Sure, you will find people that are a bit more self absorbed and would just pong about themselves.

But there are so many conversational constraints- asking “why” is aggressive, direct feedback is discouraged, slipping pronouns or other identity traits is a minefield, etc. You should not follow up when others say something because they were being polite and you’re putting them in evidence…

If you get to engaged in a conversation people can feel weirded out, like you’re supposed to go through the motions but that’s it.

Not talking also can get you in trouble.

Talking about yourself is probably the safest thing to do.
I bought an MSI desktop with a 3080 specifically for gaming. I didn't even know you could mine ethereum with a 3080 until after buying it. I've been running a miner using power from my solar cells when I'm not gaming. I don't deserve to have my card crippled. Fuck NVidia.

EDIT: Ok, I bothered to read the article. This is a hardware measure for new cards, not existing cards.
Graal has better escape analysis and so produces less garbage, which is the very best kind of garbage collection!

That might be what they meant.
Meh. It's pretty consistent with Nvidia's behavior. If you don't like being Nvidia's bitch then buy AMD and use open source drivers.

Sorry for the strong wording but if people didn't tolerate this crap from GPU vendors that would solve a lot of problems everyone has. You mention attacks on personal computing, the main reason everyone is stuck with vendor provided Android system software on their phones is because the closed GPU drivers are heavily coupled with it. Otherwise lots of people would have dumped it when they crippled the file API and started creating problems for termux. Because of this there's no real competition for iOS so Apple and Google can pretty much get away with whatever they want.
The "New 3DS" introduced head tracking and no longer needed your head in a fixed position by the way.
Without price discrimination, everyday users end up paying more for a given product while for-profit entities would pay less.

When a company releases a product, they price it according to how much profit they want to make per unit sold. Market segmentation allows them to sell their product at a lower margin to lower income users and shift much of that profit burden to corporate customers who can easily afford it.

Where I take issue with this practice is when manufacturers start suing users who modify their own hardware to enable features that they didn't pay the manufacturer for. Tesla selling heated seats as a software upgrade is a good example. It's fine if they want to build the hardware into every Tesla and only enable it for users that pay for it, but suing customers who modify their vehicle to turn on the heated seats on their own is way out of line.

I don't think Nvidia is going too far here, unless they start suing customers who try to write custom drivers that bypass the limitation.
I used Trilium Notes for a long time before shifting to Notion. It checks all the freedom boxes and is very customizable, without being alien like emacs.
The last time I searched amazon for usb-b to usb-c cables I genuinely couldn't find any. I bet I would have better luck searching for 'usb-c printer cable' as someone else pointed out, but I didn't think of that.

Last time I needed a cable on short notice before a gig I had to settle for an adapter, and was really lucky that it worked. I've had other seemingly simple pin-to-pin adapters not work on me before.

Next time I'm in a jam I'll run down to my local ebay though, thank you for this super helpful reply.
> accidentally changed it to some other type

This is the problem with Notion, in my experience at least. The docs are so limited and the maneuverability so unusual that it's very easy to do something like completely change the type of document accidentally.
The question for me is how much it matters after the novelty wears off.

I count at least 5 waves of 3D technology starting in 1851 with the Brewster Stereoscope. Each time there's a surge of popularity driven by the legitimately amazing initial experience. And each time people slowly stop caring. People were incredibly excited about Avatar, and many thought it would change the movie industry. But how many people now go out of the way to see something in 3D?

There are certain file formats that are explicitly designed to be archival safe, like PDF/A. For long term stability, I always try to export a copy to one of those.

File formats like .doc or .psd that are tied to evolving product lines are bound to change eventually. They're great for working copies, but I don't expect those file formats to still be readable in 10-20 years. Unless the file format explicitly calls out long-term archival as a feature, I assume a PM will eventually change the file format and break things.

The real root cause for all that flow director mess and core balancing is that there's a huge disconnect between how the hardware works and what the socket API offers by default.

The scaling model of the hardware is rather simple: hash over packet headers and assign a queue based on this. And each queue should be pinned to a core by pinning the interrupts, so you got easy flow-level scaling. That's called RSS. It's simple and effective.
What it means is: the hardware decides which core handles which flow. I wonder why the article doesn't mention RSS at all?

Now the socket API works in a different way: your application decides which core handles which socket and hence which flow. So you get cache misses if you don't tak into account how the hardware is hashing your flows. That's bad. So you can do some work-arounds by using flow director to explicitly redirect flows to cores that handle things but that's just not really an elegant solution (and the flow director lookup tables are small-ish).

I didn't follow kernel development regarding this recently, but there should be some APIs to get a mapping from a connection tuple to the core it gets hashed to on RX (hash function should be standardized to Toeplitz IIRC, the exact details on which fields and how they are put into the function are somewhat hardware- and driver-specific but usually configurable). So you'd need to take this information into account when scheduling your connections to cores. If you do that you don't get any cache misses and don't need to rely on the limited capabilities of explicit per-flow steering.

Note that this problem will mostly go away once TAPS finally replaces BSD sockets :)
I hate when they do that. Obviously if I've abandoned the cart I had a reason for it, most likely the shipping fee is too high. If you haven't changed it don't spam me.

IME left wing market anarchists that are moderate enough to allow an exploitative hierarchy like bitcoin are also moderate enough to allow fiat currencies that are more democratic, and those that are radical enough also won't like bitcoin's hierarchy.
