skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
They ran a pretty solid analysis of the subject. Not only do they look at correlation, but they regress out the trend line and show a correlation in the noise. Correlation of noise typically does imply a causal connection. They also look at correlation between GPUs that are used for mining and ones that are not and show that the correlation only holds for GPUs used in mining, so the case seems pretty tight. If you are just trying to poke holes in the analysis I would focus more on the possibility of there being other contributing factors that are more significant (i.g. supply chain issues). In any case the author was considerate enough to include the dataset and the python notebook so you can run subsequent analyses on your own.
Some quick things worth trying:
1. )Weight both the price of Cryptocurrencies and the price of GPUs for Market Size.
2.) Add in other explanatory variables to try to find the relative contributions of different sources.

I don't think the author's American-ness disqualifies them from writing about China. On the contrary, it is their very experience as a Chinese American that helps me (an outsider) see things from a new and interesting perspective.

I don't recall where I read this (I think it may have been Rachel Cusk), but it is a writer's job to ask questions. And what better source of questions than confusion?

That said, I'd genuinely be interested to seek your recommendations on China from Chinese sources.
One concern I would have with this is secrets handling. Say I'm screen sharing my development environment and I come across a secret, I would want my screen share service to be able to detect a secret is on screen and to either block it out or just cut off the screen share entirely until it is no longer on screen. This likely isn't foolproof, so having a hotkey to pause/unpause screen share when I know I'm about to deal with secrets would be useful as well.

A 51% attack can only reverse a transaction anyway, it can’t arbitrarily take money from someone you haven’t transacted with.

It sounds like the author is spending too much time way up in the hights of abstraction and needs more concrete things to work on. For instance, writing more programs -- I bet there are a lot of programs where you don't even really need variadic generics (or was it generic variadics?).

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate that people spend all this effort to design and evolve languages. But you need to ground yourself in concrete practice for many reasons, including your own sanity.

This feature, besides being hidden, always felt unreasonably crippled to me. And they banned third party clients that might be able to implement it better.

I am interested in collaborating on a project to make building local first software a simple reality for developers along the “seven ideals” that Martin Kleppmann lays out (see https://martin.kleppmann.com/papers/local-first.pdf).

If anyone is already is already working in this space I’d love to talk with you.

So in the last little while, Ethereum mining has become almost impossible on GPUs with 4gb of RAM and below. Prices of these sub 4gb RAM cards have plummeted to match. So I would say, yes, high GPU prices are caused by cryptocurrency mining.

Re your edit: these days, most developers are web developers where people don't care about these optimizations.

It's a little silly that a test didn't catch this problem, but using a version number somewhere high up in the long makes total sense to me. After all, version numbers can be anything you define them to be, as long as they're unique. You'd like them to be sortable, but they don't even have to be.

I already provided the link in the explanation itself.

It was published in multiple news outlets. Here is another from Financial Express: https://www.financialexpress.com/archive/rig-veda-manuscript...

"UNESCOs Heritage Register list items of literary heritage with exceptional value identified by International Advisory Committee and endorsed by Director General of UNESCO.

This year it selected 38 such items, of which 30 are Rigveda scriptures kept in BORI.

The Institute gets grant from New Delhi-based government department for conserving manuscripts, National Manuscript Mission (NMM). It had arranged an exhibition in Germany recently. UNSECO persons visiting this exhibition, selected 30 manuscripts of Rigveda, Dhadphale said over telephone from Pune.

The manuscripts are dated from 1800-1500 BC and it is the first and perhaps oldest book in literature, Dhadphale said."

If you're referring Dred Scott, I agree the Supreme Court validated slavery (this is at least one of the causes of the Civil War). That is, the decision had such consequence that the nation was nearly split, and after the war, several amendments were added that overrode the Court.

I don't see anybody gearing up to have a civil war over vaccines, just a bunch of "make a better argument for why you have the right to tell me I have to do this, with economic or social consequences if I don't" responses. The military already exited folks who didn't comply with COVID vaccines, and the Biden administration has already requested that the SC officially rule on workplace mandates (https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21A244/206997/2021...).

We have a terminology problem, and nobody seems to notice or care. Everyone is using sloppy language and has been for most of this thing.

In reality, there are more bits here than just vaccine status, and even that isn't binary, unless you start talking about the moving target of "fully vaccinated".

An unvaccinated person who has been infected and recovered is not at all the same as a person who has not. Yet here you are righteously and confidently proclaiming that "these people are a clear danger to the public".

Your statement is a serious accusation, and it is sloppy and imprecise, and plain wrong for some significant chunk of the people it is being lobbed at. Yet not many people will bat an eye, because its the same sloppy language everyone else is using.

...why bother Googling at this point? The well is so poisoned by SEO BS, your typical Boolean searches are getting further and further away from yielding any useful general results.

Once people realized PageRank existed, the algorithmic arms race destroyed any semblance of user friendliness remaining on the Web, and severely detracted from actually useful communication of information.

We've got a semantic split of the Web, one for for comms, one for mercantilism, one for info prop, content hosting and streaming, the surveillance web.. but each is indexed in the same bloody index.

The real reason for this is a single party controls 50+% of the computing landscape now. They're able to turn off revenue streams for billion dollar companies with a single policy change. Facebook is pivoting in part due to this.

Seems like many bugs occur when programmers try to be clever unnecessarily. In this day and age, we don't really have to do tricks to save memory or time in application programs; it's just not worth it with modern silicon and compilers/runtimes. So many bugs could be avoided if people valued robust functionality with maybe a "boring" implementation over trivial applications of cleverness etc.

The output of "cargo run -- --help" does not make much sense to me. "-h" is an option? What about "-v"? Why is it not called an option? Or it is an option that belongs to "DEBUG"? What is "--config" exactly, a mandatory option? Based on "test-clap [OPTIONS] --config <CONFIG>", it seems to be the case, otherwise it would belong to "[OPTIONS]", right? I would rather just read the manual page of "test-clap", hoping that they are sticking to conventions and whatnot.

I just tried out nvim in the MacOS Terminal, and a couple of things didn't work right away.

First, clicking on a location didn't set the cursor. Especially when editing large files, I like to scroll in MacVim, click to set the cursor and then start typing. While I can do things like note the line number and jump, or scroll by moving the cursor with key commands, I find those less efficient.

Second, selecting text using the mouse didn't produce a selection that Vim knew about. I use this feature all the time in MacVim, to produce a visual selection which I then rewrap using `gq`, filter by piping the selection through an autoformatter like `rustfmt`, etc. Again, I can do this using keyboard navigation exclusively to make visual selections, but I find it easier to select using the mouse.

I'm not claiming it's fine. I'm vaccinated and I try to convince others to get vaccinated.

But many people contribute to the problem with a variety of unhealthy life choices, and blaming one particular group for the problem, and writing policies to punish that group (many of whom also happen to be the PM's political opponents), is the worst kind of politics.
