> Is GPU work unique or is it generic programming such that I should be ok to hire a programmer with zero GPU experience for a GPU role?

Is that the right analogy, or is it more like requiring CUDA experience vs knowing OpenCL (or Vulcan/Metal/etc.)?
Normies is a term that crypto enthusiasts use to refer to folks that don't know much about crypto. I guess it's pejorative, but I use it in jest. Maybe I should stop using it.
Audio doesn't work like this.

If you're speaking and two different news agencies record it, there will be two slightly different recordings, which will have two different files, with two different hashes.

Hell, NFTs don't work like this. They are a hash of an entire file. If I take a slice of a speech for a deep fake, that's a different "file" from the whole speech and will have a different hash.

Every defense of NFTs is always like this, flailing around, misunderstanding basic reality, human interaction, even their own technology, just to try to keep the grift going. It's frustrating.

I'm curious why one wouldn't just move 100% into cash if you are expecting a crash. The S&P500 index fund would go down for a while in the case of a crash, right? I'm struggling with this now so any insight would be helpful.
Good advice. Looking at things from the opposite perspective helps a lot.

It’s easier to see where things go wrong than where they go right. You can just list wrong thing after wrong thing and a solution appears once you’ve scoped out the things that don’t work.

Almost all work doesn’t need to be done. We are talking about the work that gets done.
Hmm, but where would we put the data that we know will be safe and trusted?
We need a shared database we can all use. One that keeps a record of the changes of its state over time, and anyone can verify it and host a node!

Ah but it might get spammed. We could add a small fee for each write action. But if someone gets too many of the tokens could they alter the history by rewriting it? we need some kind of consensus mechanism, we could reward participation but make it expensive to lie? Make cooperation the winning move in the game. How do we give the tokens value? maybe some kind of natural scarcity to their issuance, or a fee burning mechanism. As more people use the database the value of the tokens will go up too as they are needed for writing to it, which in turn makes it more expensive to attack and safer storage.

That sounds like it might work.
True, but the people requesting takedowns are under the impression they own the thing...
It really is as bad as it sounds. A couple anecdotes:

- Some people without homes pitched a tent on the sidewalk nearby, blocking the sidewalk. The city has a moratorium on clearing tents. I recently walked by and the tent had been consumed by fire, leaving charred furniture and camping equipment behind. It’s been there for a good week now.

- multiple times I’ve seen folks grab armfuls of goods and run out. The staff just watch (I don’t blame them.) as a result, most medicines, alcohol, or other things of value (Tide!) are behind locked barriers.

- my local Safeway has armed guards, but somehow this doesn’t deter about a half dozen folks from loitering outside. Occasionally one will try to get in and make a run for it. Somehow this doesn’t effect the whole foods across the street.

- many streets downtown, including blocks on market, are open drug markets: folks dealing, preparing, and consuming drugs. You literally have to step over passed out bodies.

The whole city has a apocalyptic vibe right now. I’m not clear what the cause or solution to these problems are. But I’m kinda sick of people pretending that it’s normal. It isn’t.

My mom came from abroad recently to visit. She was horrified and I was embarrassed that she had to see all this.
Im a second generation immigrant from a muslim country. I lived 20 years of my life in one of the top 5 cities in france in terms of HLM (projects). Not once I have been humiliated by Police. In some places of my city cops "do not come because they cant drive there". My brother got a knife to his throat for walking there at night. Not once I have been asked to check ID randomly. I've seen many of people that leftists would define as "like me" being "victim" of controle au facies and arrested.
they mostly had something in common. Just like the people that the cops arrest for 70% of the crimes of this city, they were dressing like rap singers, swearing to cops, literally trying to beat you if you did not belong to "this project" and if you dared to walk around their hood. They also were seeing education as useless because they could make much more in the hood. So you can imagine that for people of those projects, watching Hip Hop, watching those guys outside make money free from any kind of police repercussion VS going to school and trying to have a side job at macdonald to make enough money to afford stuff it was not a difficult choice. And if you dared not to make this choice they would call you "white guy" or "uncle tom" in the US.

The fallacy of the left is that for them (in France and USA) a black person or a muslim person is of one kind. just like a hivemind we have to be all same and opressed because cops are bad.

What was the issue for me during those 20 years were the rampant religious zealots trying to push their agenda on me. Forcing girls to wears the "right" clothes, building one-way windows hairdresser for women and islamic supermarkets right in the city center. Backed by leftists that again thought of immigrant as some kind of hivemind that all wanted this "religious freedom" they called through their "anti racism" campaigns. Ive seen all those leftist coming to some neighborhood and praising themselves of living among the diversity and sending their kids to private school too so that they don't spend time with the immigrants sons.
I am not denying that the police makes mistakes, that controle au facies has some negative effects witht people who dress like rap / hood dudes and have normal decent lives but its more a by product of them tolerating the other side of the "immigrants" because of the lies the left sold them : that they are all same opressed by a society that does not want them. My life shows me that we are all same below the 1% whatever our color those are the people that will make us suffer, lower our wage, push our retirement age. the cops are just a piece of a broken system that are also victim of those 1%. Ive worked through my career with cops and I would never want to do their job in a country like France or the US.
Wow, thanks! I did not know this was a thing!

It's the cheap stuff that you normally find in the bathroom at an average office building, fast food place, etc.

With the world shutting down the companies that supply those kinds of places had a warehouse full of inventory and most of their usual customers either were entirely shut or going through a lot less product.

As long as you have only spinning rust for swap I disable it. After reading that article some time ago I tried to add a little swap to my shared general purpose machines (running quite a mixed workload that sometimes tends to explode e.g. matrix synapse is famous for that) and the box still grinded into an unresponsive state even with just 4GB swap. Maybe I did something wrong - But I'd rather tolerate an OOM kill (mostly contained by cgroups/container/lxd) and a few seconds (or minutes) of unresponsiveness instead of a complete lockup that results in a hard reset. Not sure if it's better on SSD. I've enabled zswap for 1/8 of memory on the Desktop and this seems to improve things but as long as you have spinning rust or other slow storage my experience is that the machine will die a slow death as long as swap is active.

There is some interesting stuff in newer kernels - like multigenerational mru [1] and that le9 patchset [2]

Am I missing something? If you have full control over the memory usage this might be useful for the mentioned usecase but for a general purpose machine this doesn't work?

Typically they get paid the initial listing sum of the auction (at least) and what happens on secondary market is not their concern, similar to classic art pieces.

Royalties can be a thing provided NFTs are traded using a smart contract that pays royalties to the creator but it's not that common since artists are compensated well enough by the first approach and don't need to milk secondary market trades.
>> Never in history has anyone been able to buy shares of highly coveted art

What? Anyone can buy a part-share of any work of art. Want to own a 5% share of the Mona Lisa, just ask. If the owner want they can sell you a percentage of that object. Or you can buy a percentage without ownership rights. Or do anything else you want. Property law and the concept of partial ownerships has been around for thousands of years. Most every possible permutation is available should two parties agree.

> All those poo-pooing NFT's will miss NFT gaming and gambling like a freight train to the face.

This seems like a win-win to me. Gambling is a waste of money and NFT gaming sounds like an awful slog ("play to earn" indeed) combined with "pay to win" for those that can afford it.

No thanks.
All of this is true except that there was no need for every vendor to have their own RISC ISA.

Which is why I'm saying with 20-20 hindsight it feels like they should have all just piled in on POWER. Of all of them born in that era, it's the only one still around. (Apart from ARM of course whose target was something else. MIPS is kinda just on life support.)

I don't remember the politics around the consortium there. I guess it could be that Sun and HP and the others just saw IBM as too much of a competition to want to be in bed with them. But given most of these vendors had shipped 68k arch workstations previously, I would have thought they'd be down with Motorola's offerings?

The problem in the end is these people all saw the other workstation vendors as competition rather than the actual competition, which was Windows/x86 (and later, Linux).
On stolen content no, but if you re-sell the NFT you bought from me, I get a royalty. That's part of the appeal for creators.

Your base assumption is entirely wrong.

Yes, but if you buy the watch you can put it on your hand, use it and show it to me. NFT is more akin to a photo of an invoice from the workshop you attended - it might have some sentimental value to you, but it's not a watch, does not have intrinsic value and I don't have to respect it.

This misses the point. You cannot compare solar and nuclear directly, because they serve different needs.

Without battery or natural gas, solar and wind are not useful. You have to have some sort of backup, sufficient to avoid brownouts or blackouts, and so you end up with the full capitalization and maintenance cost of not-solar anyway.

To properly compare solar with nuclear, you must add on the cost of battery and / or natural gas (or equivalent fast backup), at which point nuclear is cheaper.
I did. They blame the dude-bro for voting poorly, which is also dumb. That doesn't explain the bizarre jealous dismissal of homeless people.

> Creating an abstraction that makes no sense is worse than just having code being there twice

The key point being 'that makes no sense'.

If you have experience as a software engineer you understand that most 're-use' isn't completely de-duping a function, but instead you see it being abstracted out into a more generic fn that can handle two or more _slightly different_ use cases.

This typically makes the original intent of the fn difficult to understand

Some programmers do this and then pat themselves on the back, repeating the 'DRY' mantra to themselves and everyone else around them.

80% isn't completely pulled out of thin air, the vast majority of fn abstraction leads to a less understandable (therefore less maintainable) codebase.
>I'm an absolute nobody in the art world. I started minting my art in early 2020. This year i have made about 2.5x my tech salary from NFT sales and royalties. NFTS are an amazing deal for creators.

You perfectly explain why you are into NFT's. It's greed and we know :)
NFT can't prove ownership of anything but itself. Anyone can make a new NFT for the same artwork/game-asset/bridge/moon-plot and claim they own it.

There isn't even a uniqueness check, so there's no limit to copying other people's NFTs.

It's like buying a copy of an artwork in a museum gift shop. Your print is yours, but there can be thousands of other copies and there can be printed more at any time. None of them are the original artwork anyway.

In our time building and working at startups, we came to realize customer success was a secret weapon that’s massively overlooked and underfunded. If you use customer success properly, it’s the core tool that helps you get to the SaaS holy grail of negative churn.

The first employee we hired after raising money this year was our customer success advisor, Shareil Nariman. And he’s who wrote this guide which is fully published on the site. Just a small way we hoped to use the benefit of having funding to give back to the community.

Not true. Has to go over $1,000 to be felony - and that's coming from a red state here in the midwest. This red state is even talking about raising that limit because it was set in the 70's and hasn't been adjusted for inflation. Last I heard they were thinking about $5,000, but I don't think they've done anything. One of the things they'e done is made it the lesser of retail value and wholesale value. You may have stolen $1,500 worth of goods, but it cost the retailer $900 so you're still not committing a felony.
I do believe in the potential of NFTs. There are different perspective and speculations about this technology, but it will help us as time pass.
If I am understanding correctly, it is an Xbox issue because game systems do not like virtualization / emulation / containerization functionality because of its potential for enabling cheats. Many test proctoring systems are the same way-- the presence of a virtualization service, driver, or hypervisor will trigger a red flag.

So again, for the huge number of people whose life involves technology there are a lot of things that can throw a wrench into that PC for gaming, and in those cases a console makes a lot of sense. It's a little odd to me that this bothers you so much; surely it is expected that consoles have a good usecase given their popularity?
