Anecdotally, I've noticed prices falling on the lower end. My aging RX 580 was worth over $400 used at the beginning of the year; it now goes for ~$300. The 5700 XT was going for close to $1k used, and is more recently selling for $800-900.

With that said, I don't know if it's a sign of the shortage coming to an end; I think the release of the Ryzen 5700G with integrated graphics likely helped bridge the gap for people who wanted low-end graphics without paying the crazy markups.
Hello Strawman.

Does anyone actually pay the way you described? Honestly?

I either swipe my card or hand it to them to do it for me and call it a day.

I don't have to worry about some cryptojockey screwing up a DeFi contract scheme and all my money being stolen in a non-FDIC insured account. I have fraud protections against card theft.

It ain't perfect, but it's not the electronic equivalent of walking around with me lucky charms in my fanny pack, ripe for the mugging, either.
There were 17 accidents with Autopilot and non with FSD. One of those was a death where somebody fell asleep on the highway.

There are literally 100s of videos of the Autopilot doing an avoiding maneuver that prevented potentially accidents, some potentially deadly.

> Maybe they expected a faster rollout of features, maybe they didn't notice that part of the sales pitch at all.

I think its fair to say you expected the features faster, but the claim its not spelled out is false. If people don't read what is very clearly written on the website when you buy it, then that is their fault.

Ah, making me remember trying to monkey patch a script over ssh on my Blackberry Storm...

At that time I felt the future of system administration meant taking the manual things I could do over a smartphone and abstracting them into lists of tappable buttons, like "Provision Web Server" and "Set Up New Developer".
> Anyone solved this before?

Sure. Take a look at EnTT[1], a popular C++ ECS library. It comes with two main tools to deal with this: Sorting[2] and groups[3]. EnTT gives you a large spectrum of tools with different trade-offs so that you can tune your code based on usage patterns. Obviously different bits of code will have conflicting access patterns, so there's no one-size-fits-all solution, but EnTT lets you optimise the patterns that are most important to you (based on profiling, hopefully).

Based on this, and the blog post, they clearly take issue with the term ‘sold’. Making the users data accessible via api to customers who’ve paid for access to said data does not constitute ‘being sold’, as far as their lawyers are concerned. The fact that 98 million users disagree is unfortunate...

The product was sold as infrastructure, and used as data collection, and 98 million users were not aware of that.

If you’re unable to reconcile why users of square cash would be confused when they hear their data is accessible through some service called ‘plaid’ for which they’ve never signed up, or given their data, then maybe you could start with defining terms as they would, rather than how you’d prefer they sound.

Having data in a database doesn’t make it yours, it’s the users. It was when it was in their bank, it is when you move it to your service and it remains when you provide it to someone else.

While I generally agree (as someone who in the past few years graduated from such a university), the reality is that the tours are about the residential aspect of campus and not the academic part of campus. The entire point of them is to address what life is like.

If you are touring the university you have almost guaranteed already researched the academic aspect of the university. And more importantly, part of the issue is that most universities (particularly Tier 1 universities) will provide on average a very mediocre "standard" undergraduate education. Of course if you go out of your way you can get a really good education but the default experience is going to be meh at best.

This leaves the question of "why would I want to study somewhere I know will likely give me a meh experience when it's also miserable living there" which is how you end up with the way universities are updating their residential environments.
I use the same system as you do, and I've noticed that if you mention that system's name, you tend to get downvotes. I haven't yet figured out why, not sure if there is a bot or just a lot of Tesla fans who downvote the mention of our system.

Edit: After one minute I got a downvote.

But what constitutes a better heuristic is context dependent. In particular, if I must make a decision in a time-constrained manner then any heuristic that blows the time budget is going to be worse even if it would be better given more time. And one can't really know in advance how much time spent thinking is optimal. So one has to pick a strategy. The fact that humans have evolved to use a variety of strategies fast and slow (depending on the human) suggests that there is no single optimal strategy.

It has been fully admitted. Award this company a colossal fine for getting hacked and having personal user data being leaked over the internet.

But also unfortunately, let the SIM hacking games begin.
Something we shouldn't overlook is that Afghanistan is land-locked, Germany and Japan are not. The lack of coastline is a serious impediment to economic and civil development. Without any opportunity to build serious industry in Afghanistan, the effort would at least take far longer than Japan and Germany, both of which also had an existing culture of manufacturing and industry to build upon.

One may say that Afghanistan is also doomed to forever be a "developing" nation given this constraint. How many first-world landlocked nations can you name? Great, now how many outside the EU trade and border alliances? Right.

Edit: here's some source data with interesting stats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landlocked_country

Interesting to me is that the only landlocked countries with higher populations are Ethiopia and Uganda. Also, their only escape from this state of affairs would be a trade/border alliance with a neighboring country that does have coastline. Prospects look pretty dismal in that candidate list.
What books have you read more than once?
In my opinion people often make the mistake of using Anki to memorize one-to-one translations of foreign words. It is more effective to use it to learn the mapping of whole sentences.

For every word you want to learn, add a few idiomatic and representative sentences in Anki. You can do the same for every new grammatical concept you want to learn.

And don't forget to use Anki's text-to-speech tools to practice listening as well as speaking.

Does it replace other forms of learning entirely? No, but it can be a great component of learning a new language.
>then any data being captured and stored by Plaid does sound extremely fishy

I've integrated with Plaid's API (a long time ago), and this doesn't sound fishy. Plaid's API is pretty comprehensive and it would have PayPal's job to unlink the connection after the verification took place. Plaid gives you a "token" representing the user that can be used to further look up information in their account - such as new transactions. If PayPal had naively enabled the usage of those APIs, then it's not surprising Plaid stored that data.

For example, if you (the API client) didn't want to store any information except for a user token (similar how you might store tokens with Stripe's API), then every time you needed to lookup the client's account number you would call Plaid's API to retrieve that data (which, by definition, they would be storing).
Google people make 200k starting as Jr devs so I'm assuming 400k.

Agreed not super clear what's going on.
This nails it.

I'd go further to say that there are real world issues that compound the variables. Namely that individual actions increasingly have global consequences eg. individual purchasing behaviors have externalities that the market is not pricing in and thus fall to the consumer to have to calculate.

Further, given that these global issues these kinds of calculations are game theoretic by their nature, making it even more complicated.
You truly don't, if you think money has any intrinsic worth rather than how you choose to live your life.

Let's say you sacrifice 10-15 years with a life miserable, but very fulfilling regards to money. How does that shape you as a person, and how will that shape your life after retiring early, rather than living another life, not ruled by currency?

Some of us have already chosen differently, and have no problems regarding life's choices now, with or without Covid. That self-integrity and intuition just can't be bought with money.

For others, there may be no choice. But then the question would never arise..

The thing is, I get a lot less tired when I'm driving now, because I get to focus only on the novel stimulus (possible emergencies) and not the mundane.

Anyone recall this:

Google pays over 310 million on the sexual misconduct claims of Andy Rubin:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/andy-rubin-google-settlement-se...

and MANY other links ---

I recall when I interviewed at Danger, by Andy Rubin, for a head of IT position... I really wanted that job but I was SUPER badly suffering from the flu... and had a fever and had difficulty interviewing but I wanted the job so bad I foolishly went to the interview - which I would have performed much better as healthy...

Anyway - lots of people dopn't know that Rubin was paid A LOT of money to not reveal the OTHER sexual misconduct at google.... it was widely rumored he was paid for his silence...

Look at Uber's bullshit they went through, not simply inclusive of paying for the medical records of a female employee to shame a female employee who was against their mgmt suite....

Or... Youtube founders amazing drug fueled parties.

Or... many of the sex parties in SF especially around ~2010 with porn star talent at some of the parties...

Fun times.

From the card companies' perspective, the alternative to magstripe isn't contactless, it's contact (the smart card IC embedded in the physical card).

In the US, the card companies convinced merchants to adopt the EMV contact standard by implementing a liability shift that would make the merchants liable for card-present magstripe fraud after a certain date. For merchants using POS terminals, the liability shift happened in 2015, and for gas stations it happened a few months ago (after several delays). EMV contact coverage needs to be essentially 100% before they'll consider getting rid of magstripe completely.

Contactless is an entirely optional sideshow, and is not required by anyone anywhere. It has lots of issues (they somehow managed to make it less secure than magstripe(!), which is kind of appaling) and there are no plans to ever have it supersede EMV contact as the baseline standard.
Sounds like they should have put $80 price tag on the game. It was worth it.
Ask HN: Advice for switching to a robotics or a medical device fields
I have for over 10 years worked in a large research lab in Boston on a variety of algorithms, software and systems related to sensors, cameras, data fusion and decision support. I am now considering a domain switch and am looking for advice. Not so much for specific openings (although this is good, too), but primarily an approach for a senior/lead engineer in one field to switch to a lower level rung in a different field.

Biotech, robotics, medical devices are potential examples, but most things that touch more than one of (software, algorithms and hardware) are interesting to me.

The main reason for wanting to switch is that I want to learn new things. A close second is the growing bureaucracy at my current, large employer. I am not desperate -- my employer likes me and the pay is good. But the work is becoming frustratingly slow and the amount of red tape goes up every year.

The good: I have (says me) a good, transferable set of general skills: software (C++, Python, Java, scripting, Matlab), algorithms (data fusion, some ML and AI, image and video processing, real time systems, large data sets), data science, analysis and a solid math background.

The bad: I am in my late 40s and have a PhD with 20 years of experience in my work. A quick search led to a couple of suggestions for a principal/lead scientist or engineer positions for which I am nowhere near qualified (since this is another field).

More good: I do not need a lot of money; not looking for FAANG salaries.

Any advice? Take classes? Rub shoulders at conferences?

It has been established that the German and Japanese cultures are a lot more compatible with "western" ideologies, compared to the more culturally diverse system in Afghanistan.

At the risk of coming off rather callous, it is believed that the sustained conflicted has created a significant amount of value for the stakeholders at varies millitary contractors, as well as provided invaluable experience for the US millitary to trial out their latest weapons and doctrines.

Is it really a loss in the grand scheme of things though?
That's the sort of law I remember. It is considered a failure to communicate your intention rather than a violation per se in every circumstance.
Under which metric is Ubuntu more polished than Debian? I had the impression that Ubuntu is more user friendly, but buggier than Debian. Honestly asking.
>"for performance reasons"

The quotes imply that this is a bad reason, but in soft realtime systems you often want complete control of memory allocation.

Even in the case of something like Unity--in order to give developers the performance they want--they've designed subset of C# they call high performance C# where memory is manually allocated.

In most cases if you're using an ECS, it's because you care so much about performance that you want to organize most of your data around cache locality. If you don't care about performance, something like the classic Unity Game Object component architecture is a lot easier to work with.

Do you mean that denying entry is illegal, or denying exit is?

Because these unmanned stores do let you leave; they just have separate entry and exit doors, which have mutual-exclusion locking (like an airlock) such that nobody can enter the store through the exit door by getting someone inside the store to open the inner door. (You could slip into the little individual exit hall through the outer exit door; but the inner door in the little exit hall would remain locked until you left and it detected there were no longer people in the hall. Presuming a high-traffic store, this also wouldn't hold anything up, as other customers would continue to exit through the bank of other exit halls to either side of you.)

I haven't checked, but presumably pulling a fire alarm inside the store would disable all this security, flinging both the entry and exit doors open. But you can't reach the fire alarm in the exit hall; it's not "inside" the store. The only thing you can do in the exit hall, is exit (which you are always free to do.)
And has any of this caused you to re-evaluate building software for Apple devices or purchasing Apple devices for either home or work? If so, what was the outcome of this re-evaluation?
AMD and Intel are far from open hardware. ARM is not open hardware. Sure, they're better documented and therefore somewhat more open in some sense. You can't just go have a fab build you an AMD64 core or twelve and throw the chip on a custom board and sell your own laptop.

You can't just get a small batch of royalty-free ARM cores and make your own phone. Did you know there's still work going on to reverse engineer the Raspberry Pi systems because Broadcom doesn't release full docs?
Oh wow. I got one of these second hand as a kid from a family friend who upgraded from this model. I was the coolest kid in the neighborhood until they realized it didn't do anything "fun".
I've been driving for 29 years, and I never thought those things either until I got autopilot (and I don't have a Tesla BTW, I have a different autopilot system). While those things were autopilot in my brain, they still took brain power. It's so much more relaxing not worrying about those things.

It's like people who do math by hand and then get a calculator.
Unfortunately the vast majority of people like it.
For some comparison, that's a 30W 80EU part using 70GB/s memory. DG2 is supposed to be 512EU part with over 400GB/s memory. GPUs generally scale pretty well with EU count and memory bandwidth. Plus it has a different architecture which may be even more capable per EU.

Energy density is indeed it. Not much to argue about, it carries several times more energy per weight than any battery, and is several times cheaper too. The Mirai is a proof of concept, not a typical use case.
Most likely because internal value is associated with salary and worth. It's very difficult to change that when society determines your worth and skills by the salary that you get.

His partner is apparantly also highly ambitious and I don't think relationships work with one partner being all about watching the stars and another super driven. Add a Phd to that which is long years invested as well and it's pretty much that you have a choice but you really don't have a choice.
Hi! I might have missed your comment first, sorry for the longer reply! Thank you for this question! I think DP is a good design company, still, we might be different in a few dimensions.

First, we have different focuses. I see them going after e-commerce and graphics/illustrations, while we strongly develop a product design expertise serving global startups. Then, what we do is we build own design community (btw, being very inspired by YC community too). Having these two segments of users, we build our own product and a matching algorithm between them (you might even notice this magnet analogy in our logo).

So I respect other companies doing things that look similar. Still, we just build what we believe is best for the users we're serving.

I've been shopping at Kroger regularly for decades and my guess is that it might have something to do with the timing around their last major payment terminal upgrade. They upgraded before NFC payments were very popular but fairly close to when they really needed to support chip cards (my recollection was that the payment networks were saying they would no longer insure against fraud without a chip terminal), and it seems like for whatever reason they went with a terminal that didn't support it.

I remember being annoyed with seeing all of the seemingly brand-new hardware being installed at multiple locations that very obviously lacked NFC payment support.
Why does T-Mobile have SSNs of its subscribers?
I think this misses the point. Even being "less" wrong requires an amount of work that even the best/smartest etc... cannot consistently apply.

I do believe this is zero-sum in that improving on one set of decisions means no applying the same rigor to others.

This is often seen in the form of very smart people also believing conspiracy theories or throwing their hands up around other massive issues. As an example, the "Rationalist crowd" has de-emphasized work on climate change mitigation in favor of more abstract work on AI safety.
