You seem to overlook the fact that NVIDIA poured immense resources into their ML software stack.

This was back in AMD's Bulldozer days (2011), when the company struggled both financially and technologically.

Meanwhile NVIDIA sponsored universities with graphics cards and had already developed their CUDA ecosystem (in 2007) when AMD was still busy with the ATI acquisition. In 2011 NVIDIA had an annual net income of about $500 million, while AMD had a net loss of $600 million at the same time and kept struggling for the following 5 years.

In other words, NVIDIA already had an existing ecosystem of professional grade H/W accelerators and S/W infrastructure, when AMD was still a CPU manufacturer without a dedicated GPU division. When AMD acquired ATI, NVIDIA was already in the process of transitioning their GPGPU stack from data centre-only products to consumer hardware.

AMD has powerful ML hardware today, but that's data centre and supercomputer only. They didn't miss the boat on ML - they were busy not drowning while NVIDIA was handing out goodies to academia.

It's a purely defensive alliance that, somehow, keeps expanding to the East.
His comment reminds me of a famous quip from David Lange about "I can smell the uranium on your breath", although in this case it's borscht and/or vodka.

Didn't read it as whataboutism. Was more a call to consider the "ridiculous stream of fantasy being spewed out of <country> leader and media" is rhetoric which is almost always applicable somewhere. The spewing's given some credit elsewhere, just not here because they've been pretty cleanly labelled as the enemy. Also maybe because it's batshit, but the people who are unsure of that will have a harder time having a discussion about it because so many people are jumping to emotional or canned responses.

I think that it is more important to remember that Montessori tried to bring education in the 20th century using the science that was available to her 100+ years ago.

Most schools today are still stuck into the factory model of 200 years ago. They are still trying to take uneducated peasant children and discipline them to mindlessly follow a 9-to-5 factory work schedule. Applying Montessori principles would be an improvement to most.

Regular people severely underestimate how outdated and unscientific the current model is. Everywhere.

And we know about this for more than 50 years and we've done very little to improve things.

One of my sisters made sure that my nephew was in a Montessori kindergarten. He went to a regular school afterwards but those Montessori years can still be felt. There is a kind of emotional stability that still permeates his behavior. A level of presence and calm that brings me joy and gratefulness.
Some people get very depressed from having tinnitus unfortunately, because they cannot deal with the constant noise.
They have ROCm and many popular frameworks support it.

The problem is that NVIDIA has 100% of the mindshare and owns 97% of the dGPU market so it's a self-fullfilling prophecy that proprietary tech like CUDA will stay dominant in the foreseeable future.

Hopefully Intel re-entering the dGPU market will put a dent in that and move the needle a little.
I hear that same "can't do spirit" often from American conservatives. I think the only true obstacle is a lack of political will.

Equal split or walk away. Anything else but an equal split will create incentive problems later on, look weird when you're fundraising, and make you feel under-appreciated and unhappy in case the company succeeds.

Personally I think you should walk away anyway. The fact that they're trying to scam you with 5%-10% at this stage is a huge red flag in terms of culture and strategic knowledge. They either have no idea what they're doing, or they're actively trying to screw you, both of which are bad.
Crypto mining is just one of many factors driving availability down and prices up. If it disappeared tomorrow, you still would not be able to buy a GPU at MSRP.

Ukraine is a big country. Meanwhile, this power plant represents 40 % of Ukraine's nuclear power generating capacity, which in turn is responsible for ~50 % of power generation. So this one plant is around 20 % of the total generating capacity in Ukraine.

Since Ukraine is no longer connected to the Ex-Soviet power grid, it is now an isolated grid and has to generate all electricity domestically. That's why the Ukraine is trying to create an interconnection with the EU grid as quickly as possible.

In standard, central-european graveyards, there is a particular "graveyard smell", which lingers for decades even after burials are stopped. I always figured that is created by decomposition gasses escaping the ground, mixed with wet soil and standard funerary plants (often conifers).

> Use them even when you think it makes you look dorky at the club or concert or sporting event.

Yeah, but that's the problem, just like the Western world attitude to masks and COVID.

With COVID, all those Western big babies referring to masks as muzzles, nappies etc. and shouting about "muh freedom". All this despite indisputable objective scientific evidence to the contrary that masks work, let alone all the subjective evidence from countries like Japan where masks are the norm during cold/flu season and so nobody complained about wearing them during the COVID era.

Well its the same with hearing protection, people don't wear it because they consider it makes them look dorky and they care more about their perceived image in others eyes than their own personal health.

But equally, I think venues such as clubs, cinemas, theatres and operas have to take their part of the blame. Does it really need to be that loud ? Exactly what "experience" is your audience gaining out of the excess loudness apart from hearing damage ?
Afghanistan won because the insurgents could be resupplied and given shelter by Pashtun pakistanis next door and because every part of the country is surrounded by mountains with very few, very easily disrupted mountain passes.

On thinking about the worst that could happen
Is Russia used the armies that are currently in the Ukraine to kill all Azov members there would still be objectively more Nazis in Ukraine then before the invasion. Any military force I have looked into has a lot of Nazis and Russia also. Instead of denazification of Ukraine Russia added Nazis on Ukrainian ground by having soldiers invade. The only reason why you aren't aware of battalion names of Nazis in Russian army is that the fact that the presence of Nazis is totally irrelevant for the argument the west is making while Russia argument totally depends on so RT pushes that narrative.

Right. All this buzz about UB is a bit much. Sure, it's not great to have to assume that something breaks when you upgrade your compiler when the compiler authors made a change to exploit some UB that I didn't know of.

On the other hand, I'm quite confident that I don't have much UB in my code (as running sanitizers from time to time confirms). And miraculously, I've never ever been surprised by "nasal daemons".
> There is also a contingent of people who like to use the the tax code as a mechanism of policy apart from efficient collection of revenue.

There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Whether you do or do not agree is a different question.

It's interesting to look at different cultures:

The Swedish word for "tax" is "skatt", which literally means "treasure". Historically it was part of the treasure to be collected by the monarch and other people in power. So, not really a way to cover government expenses, but for somebody in power to enrich themselves further. Luckily, the country has moved on from that, just kept the word (and the king).

The German word for "tax" is "steuer", which literally means "to steer". That makes it clear that those fees are not just collected to finance government expenses but to even steer society in a certain direction, i.e., what you mean with policy.
Why cx, sx, zx instead of č, š, ž? That’s a step backwards. Slavic languages have perfectly fine letters for those phonemes.

Quite feasible - typical car chargers have two rates, what we used to call 'trickle' charge up to about 4 amps, and 'fast' charge that will push 8 amps or more. The latter isn't so great for battery long-term health but is useful for 'got to start the engine now' situations whereas trickle is more for 'top the battery up overnight' situations.

Most accessory sockets are rated 10 or 15 amps.

they've destroyed most of traditional comms infra and starlink is being used as backup. it's def a real target.

FWIW Russia has 167 satellites, some of which are of course LEO and no doubt doing some EW.

There's tons of hubris in Russia, but at least theoretically the should be able to pull this off. Their own personnel is using unencrypted HF radio which is almost like trojan horse level of incompetence.
Why is the mining market not dependable?
Yeah, because I believe that's the truth. And the world is overwhelmed by western propaganda. If you believe in freedom of speech, whatever I say shouldn't be a problem, am I right?

It really depends on what you are selling and who your target audience is.

If you are selling curtains or soft furnishings your target audience is women and Pinterest is your best channel.

If you are selling dog food and beds your audience is general public with an interest in dogs, facebook is the best channel for general public, find a dog related group or buy and sell group make a post and then pay to promote it.

If you are selling something more business focused like an accounting service then Linkedin is best.

If you are selling something technical like a developer tool then reddit or stackexchange.

My point is that your advertising channel is not determined primary by budget but rather by your target audience and your target audience is determined by your product or service.
I recently went down a rabbit hole of watching speed climbing on YouTube. It's really mesmerizing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4n6xfu8VDU
I'm only familiar with Russian, but "es" for "to be" feels weird too. And it's used where Russian would just omit it. Are there Slavic languages that are more liberal with it? And I feel like some form of Cyrillic would be much more natural both because of the available phonemes and because I believe most Slavic speakers would be more familiar with it than the Latin alphabet. As a non-native learner, I've always had trouble trying to parse out Russian transliterated into Latin script.

This almost looks like something a speaker of a romance language would put together.

NVIDIA could have violated some patents with their design themselves (even unknowingly). There are legitimate reasons why NVIDIA wouldn't want the leak to happen, even if other companies likely wouldn't touch it.

Ask HN: Are you hiring developers from Ukraine?
I am building withpublic.com and in contact with some people from Ukraine. I decided to help them with finding a job with relocation, so if you are looking for developers, send me at email at info@withpublic.com. Please include as much details as possible.
Sure - it's www.gaffologist.com. It's rough (sorry) but in short, the Irish housing search sites are a pile of crap and just show homes over a road map. Gaffologist shows homes for rent or sale over a map of public transport, with colour-coded commute times (you pick the station you work near), schools, bike infra, and even rural fibre broadband highlighted.

I used it to find my own house a bike ride from a train station an hour from Dublin (I work remote) with gigabit fibre for under 100k in 2019. I would never have found it with the traditional real estate sites that assume I drive everywhere.

It's just a side project though, I barely get time to hack on it.
That's a very simplistic generalisation and totally inline with what anti-union employers would like you to think.

To rebuff with another generalisation: employers are antiemployee. Corporations/employers are pro-themselves and anti anything that reduces profits, including employees. A company cares nothing about it's employees as individuals, only as profit making entities. A union acts to redress that imbalance.

C could be a simple language again if you greatly constrained compilers (-Onone is the closest you can get today). It wouldn't be fast of course, but it would fit the notion of "simple" some people have about it... or at least be closer to "high level assembly".

C still makes it trivial to write memory safety bugs. No one who likes C, especially not the committee, has any appetite whatsoever for improving the situation. I don't see that changing any time soon.
At an individual level though, increasing the hash rate of your setup without impacting energy usage means more efficient mining (cheaper to run and faster to recoup investment). Long-term, the least efficienct miners get forced out until there is no profit to be had for the effort involved.
RT was never banned in Russia (well before the EU decision at least). It was never allowed to broadcast because it would have to get a German TV license. I didn't get one instead it good some from Lichtenstein (?) for broadcasting which is just not how that works.
Fairly easy to understand, but looks weird in places as others have mentioned (the X especially). Interslavic looks like a real slavic language, and is easy to understand as well (though I would say a bit harder).

I speak Slovak and Czech, and both of the above seem easier to me than Polish or Slovenian for example.

Which brings me to, is there some sort of visualization of proximity of different Slavic languages? How much they differ between each other, which ones for closer groups, etc...

I feel like I'm talking with a wall. No, we don't agree, we disagree. I've put some effort to formulate specific arguments and I didn't see a response to them.

To say that a plural form describes individuals is outright ridiculous and reminds me of a comment I've seen on Reddit once:

Yeah, decentralised.

The public blockchain makes censoring a given user even easier, because your transaction log is public knowledge.
I bought one the other day, no hassle from a local store. They had a pretty wide select of 30-series GPUs. The cost of electricity is high in Australia though, so it is certainly less economical to mine here.
> It was Nazi Germany, not “the West”, that invaded the USSR.

Ok and if you look at the last 30 years, which "side" has been to most aggressive in attacking and subjugating foreign nations? "Oh but when we do it, it's for good reasons." Then the West is genuinely surprised that other blocs like South America or the Mid East are not jumping on the great anti-Russia train by default. What is wrong with those people?
The Optimise Programme: supporting individuals to reduce their meat intake
You must be unavare how Russian people actually read latin letters.
As a part of the claimed "simplicity" of C is limited ability for hidden control flow in the language. The "nothing magical happens" is both a pro and a con of the language. Things work as described in the code, not as described in the lang spec. This lang limitation promotes simple and not over-engineered solutions. But as I said, it is not always a pro.

Btw I agree that UB can be dangerous and hard to debug. And that "nothing hidden" doesn't really hold because it can be really tricky sometimes to figure out what the compiler did.
When faced with these problems I don't say "you are coding C wrong" as some here claim we do. I would say that you need to be very careful when coding C and use all tools you can to make your life easier and the probability higher for creating better software. Use sanetizers, follow coding standards, use static analysis tools.
Intentional Deception Among Nonhuman Primates [pdf]
Nuclear power stations don't go boom so even if a war was raged inside a power station it wouldn't take out half of Europe.

What could happen is safety systems could be compromised causing a meltdown and that would carry the risk of spreading radioactive matter to the local environment. And if the local environment gets sufficiently contaminated then weather patterns, sea tides, etc could spread the radiation much further. But it's a slow risk (when compared to a nuclear weapon) so it is still possible to contain the damage to within a few miles, which I acknowledged is still bad but a much better outcome than half of Europe being contaminated.
This. Tried to get back to PC gaming for a while. I play on PS5 and XSX but damn, with the price of a performant GPU I can buy 3/4 PS5s or 1 PS5 and a lot of games for it.

It hurts the resale value of those cards for gamers. Hence in the long run, it will also keep gamers from upgrading that card as easily, because they will get less for their existing card.

It's a flimsy argument, but it's the only one I know so I figure that is what they meant.
So "serious" = "high"? Yeah, then of course I agree. The trouble is only determining is the risk high/serious or not.

On the whole, I lean towards Putin not being quite that crazy -- and hey, remember that even the Soviet Union had that ultimate safeguard, officers willing to disobey orders -- so it shouldn't be all that high. But it's hard to say for sure.

There is a 4+ minute Youtube clip that includes the central climbing scenes from "Free Solo" [0].

Amazing guy. The National Geographic documentary had Hollywood-esque layers that slightly annoyed me (ominous music etc), though. A documentary by Werner Herzog about Alex Honnold would be fascinating; something in the vein of his 1974 "The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner" [1,2]. I would have loved to see more of the philosophical, introspective side of Alex Honnold in the NG movie. In case of Herzog's ski jumper Walter Steiner, it was very much there.
