Right, demand is a major factor.

People just don't want to acknowledge that "compute time" has a market price far above MSRP. Especially GPU based compute time. People want to point at people they don't like "scalpers!" "crypto miners!" instead of attempting to quantify how much of the demand they are, while ignoring other areas where demand has grown where there is also a profit motive rationalizing paying a higher market price: multiple trillion dollar companies and several hundred billion dollar companies are building data centers everywhere for cloud gaming, cloud computing. This inherently requires buying all high end GPUs as fast as possible, and they're going to charge people monthly subscriptions to use them. and then there are the consumer and hobbyists and enthusiasts. It was a supply shock while demand has grown.

People just don't want to accept that they'll never get a nice GPU at 2019 prices. That they need a new hobby if thats what they use GPUs for.

Many analysts pointed out that gaming has been the most undervalued entertainment sector, because its audience is price sensitive and whiny. Well, now its less undervalued as the hardware is more expensive.

Then after that there are the inputs that have increased in the number of dollars needed to get them, a major factor there being the increase in dollars existing and how it pools into certain areas of the economy (which increased demand and scarcity of those things too.)
After complaining to an optometrist about this, they suggested the Trivex lens material as having less chromatic aberration.

I've been pretty happy with those glasses, though I am reluctant to declare the material a silver bullet. I'm at the age where presbyopia changes each year and so it is not feasible to really compare the affect of the material alone.
NVDLA (poorly capitalized by HN) is not the same as NVidia GPUs.
I watched the video through only once, but unless I'm mistaken (the video is a little confusing on this point), the claim is that the original game did run consistently at 30fps (the design framerate of the console), and the point of these hacks is to improve framerate for mods and devices that can play the game at higher rates. Unless I misunderstood something, it sounds like the original game was exactly as good as it needed to be, as released. And that's before you get to the fact that the mods require the RAM expansion pack.
I'm of a similar opinion (having been a Smalltalk developer in the 1990s boom) but I think it's worth looking at for modern programmers. I wouldn't use it for anything myself any more, but for me it's a nice way to get the flavour of the work being done in the AI community and at Xerox Parc in those days. Like a history book you can crawl into rather than just experience vicariously.

One thing I do find interesting is that the programmers who usually come up as "legendary" in this context were usually just better than average guys who ended up in the right place at the right time. A lot of their code is still running in the Cincom VisualWorks product and not all of it is gold.
Based on 2019-20 numbers from Levels.fyi, those engineers should be on over $430k a year due to appreciation. Seems above average if you stick around. You won't get even half that at Ford or GM.

As I recall, that MVG video was incorrect—Nintendo could have compiled with optimizations and the game would have worked.

The most plausible explanation to me (and, IIRC, the one that Giles Goddard speculated was the case) is that they simply didn't want to take the chance that optimization could surface unknown bugs in the code, and they knew that the unoptimized version worked and played fine, so they played it safe and shipped the known-good unoptimized version. This is a perfectly understandable decision in terms of risk management, even if in retrospect it was too conservative. Less likely, but still very plausible, was that turning off optimization was just a mistake; mistakes happen when you're rushing a release for a deadline, and build deployment was not as orderly and automated back then as it is today.
> a small number of luxury electric cars

They have produced 2 million cars thus far. They're so demand slammed that orders are for 9 months out. They just finished building Giga Berlin and Giga Austin which is going to 2x their production to more than 1 million cars / year within a couple years. They already have plans for a $25k/yr car in a couple years. And every single car manufacturer considered EV's a no-go until Tesla started shipping Model S's en masse. There is no modern EV push, no "all cars sold must be EV by 2040" in many developed countries, without Tesla.
I don't really feel comfortable without it. It seems imprudent not to know the common base.

Someone who grew up in the 1920s would say something very similar about the way you grew up in the 1970s. This is what getting old looks like. Thinking that the old way was better and the new way is worse.
Heh, my neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks and it's very safe to walk in because _everybody_ walks in the middle of the street. Can be frustrating when you drive through sometimes, but I'm always mindful of the great benefit this has. Everyone in the neighborhood sees and expects people (and kids) "playing in traffic", so traffic is relatively quite calm. I've developed a bit of the view that sidewalks turn neighborhood streets into freeways. I can imagine many scenarios where this system wouldn't work as well, but in a SFH residential neighborhood without much in the way of through traffic, it works pretty well.
I don't want to take too much credit for this, it is a fork of a preexisting game [0]. All I did was make it so you could play unlimited times per day.

There are other systems that provide this ability. This system is not the first and is not the only thing that allows one with this condition to communicate. This is mostly a fluff piece. Quantity and quality both matter.
Or do they just sigh in exhaustion that, even so many years later, people are still demanding more out of them, despite them being underpaid and overworked already? Then take some heart medication and go back to work?
"Social class" is not the same as a class in a classifier. The plumber may have a lot of bargaining power when an ice-storm breaks all the pipes in a major city, but the plumber does not have a high social class. Typically high social class also has a fair amount of bargaining power, due to frequently having capital (usually politically or financially), but not always.

This is a fork I made of the game Worldle [0]. Like wordle, you can normally only play once per day. I made a few tweaks so you can play as often as you like.

Change how you choose to live. That’s all you can do. But most people will just shrug and keep living a way they claim to hate because they don’t care that much.

I have been advised by my Salvadoran contacts that it would probably be a bad idea for me to visit in person before Bukele/Nuevas Ideas is out of power. It turns out rule of law is not in the greatest state in El Salvador at present; this may or may not go so far as fucking with the tourists, but is more likely with known pains in their backside. This will present some difficulties for the planned book, but none that are insuperable.

Technology success stories only rhyme if you carefully ignore the failures. I look forward to you enumerating all the fraud-riddled payment systems from that era that didn't make it.
My WD My Book Live does basically the same thing but with the cool little piggyback card running a full Linux disto.

Unfortunately they went with 32bit PowerPC and it is no longer supported by Debian so no more upgrades unless I bust out a soldering iron and mess with u-boot to get something like netbsd on it.

Seems like a good product for the super cheap arm SoC makers, a board that attaches to the back of a hard drive with Ethernet just like WD did but without the big clunky case.

you know this research was published in 2006, and is based on earlier work (from the citations you can see papers from the early 1970s onwards) which suggests the ignorance might be more localised ;)

I walked through Cap Hill and DT Seattle to catch a bus at 2am back in 2003. No worries at all.

A lot of crime isn't reported now days, e.g. my mothers truck just got stolen and she is not going to report it because the police are likely not going to even bother talking to her about it. I've had plenty of friends with stolen cars where the police told them "well you should be more careful with your car" and up and leave.

That sort of attitude sure makes the crime stats look good though.
This mirrors exactly my experience with System76 hardware.
What I mean by "traditionally feminist" is the view that feminism concerns the challenges faced by biological women as a result of physical differences from men, the fact that they give birth, and the millenia of abuse of women by men in human history for domestic work and sexual purposes. I.e. to be explicit, that feminism is not about the challenges faced by biological males who are attempting to change their bodies to be female and to live their lives as women. This is not to say that the challenges faced by transwomen are at all to be dismissed or treated unsympathetically; just that it is a distinct issue from traditional feminism.

Your question is also answered rather more eloquently by rayiner in the sibling comment.

Appreciate your support!

> Sadly, their current offerings are a little out of my price range.

Yeah, our pricing is one of our project's biggest weaknesses. Unfortunately, upfront capital costs and low scale basically force things to be this way.

With that said, our VR computer is still reasonably competitive against other premium office laptops and ultra-premium (high PPD) VR/AR gaming headsets. We made a post about this here.[1] TLDR: we're offering a headset as good as the tethered Varjo Aero (priced at $2K), with a premium-spec computer as good as a top-shelf Lenovo X1 Carbon bolted on as well (making up for the remaining $699 in price).

Finally: if it helps, we made a $100 off discount code you can apply at checkout: "DISCOUNT_HN". This applies even if you opt for the partial deposit ($1,499 now; $1,499 later) pre-order option.

Unless those things help people live longer or better (with scientific evidence to show such an effect) they are interesting developments with no actual impact on patients. Do people treated with surgical robots live longer or better? Has the synthetic antibiotic helped average patients live longer or better? So far, we only see very marginal improvements, and at massive, constantly increasing costs.
We had different experiences.

If capitalism is the nail, private property is the hammer. Quite a lot of development that the United States wanted to see happen in the west (which enriched it immensely) was done because it was willing to make grants of private property to the companies (largely railroads) doing the development.

You can debate whether capitalism is (or should have been) the only method for getting things done, but the use of private property as a viable incentive for driving innovation within that system is not really debatable.
It's pretty normal for people who chose the safe path to be angry when those around them hit the jackpot.

I remember going into a Walgreens in Boston and walking out 15 minutes later to a body being put into an ambulance. A few hours later I got on a plane to the UK, made my way to Edinburgh, and was blown away by how clean the city was in comparison to anything I'd seen in the US.
How a Split Flap Display Works
The goal here, as I understand it, is to make sites that can be built using fully interactive tooling whose main purpose is to be read, so fast initial readability is paramount and the alternative to JIT interactivity would be a page transition so the network problem doesn't actually make anything worse.

It may not be the best possible set of trade-offs for any particular application but it seems like a set of trade-offs worth exploring.
The original Mario 64 would suffer lower framerates in certain areas (e.g. Dire Dire Docks). We can also imagine that if the artists had had more headroom to work with, then they would have spent it on making levels larger and more detailed.
I am totally confused what are you even talking about.

There are supply shortages that lead to manufactures not being able to produce enough, that is why there are wait times. All manufactures are constraints, specially on EVs.

Tesla has not been demand constraint for years and pretty much ever analysis agrees on this and they all agree that Tesla will continue to be demand constraint for this and next year at least.

Tesla is clearly continuing to increase its production capacity (new factories), even within the supply constraint environment, and again all analysts agree.

So the idea that Tesla will not continue to grow this and next year at least is literally opposed to pretty much every known metric and analyst agree on that.

But I guess they are all Tesla bros or whatever.
I think the standard has changed, right? People want everything nerfed up. We have helmet laws where there used to be none, you can't use the Uber app without being bombarded with messages about 'safety', kids aren't left on their own outside. The mentality is that the world is scary - if not outright ending - constantly a threat. We wonder why we're raising kids with anxiety problems.
The claim by GP was that US cities are safer than they’ve ever been before, which is basically true, at least for recent history. Google it. Stats show violent crimes and pedestrian deaths on a decline for decades. (IIHS says pedestrian death have had a minor recent uptick, but for adults not children, and the 40-year trend is very downward. Crime in general has been declining since the 90s.) No need to express incredulity over an imagined interpretation, just hit the “parent” button.
I appreciate your comment and the quote. Did you mean to write "inextricably" though? (Hopefully it's clear that that is a straightforward question and not rhetorical!)
> To demonstrate this, the two models are subjected to various statistical tests on multiple data sets, mostly 20th-century, from the US and about two dozen other countries. In a later section, the models are tested on European data from 1600–1914. The linear model outperforms on pretty much every test

Where anonymous confession is good, robonymous is better. Like ELZIA.

The answers themselves aren't helpful, but their perspectives are: they pick up on different aspects of your post, and see them as instances of different patterns of human experience. Everything has happened before. It's a bit like the empathy from being well-read, but personalized.

The mistakes stop it seeming authorative and being taken too seriously; and the randomness also gives a loot-box/idle game dynamic.

I think this idea is great, and there could really be something important here.
Not on game consoles, and perhaps not even for PC games more generally (hedging my bets in case Walter Bright waltzes in and starts talking about how he wrote Empire in C in 1972 or something :P ). It wasn't until the mid-90s that C ate the game industry. Recall that C wasn't standardized until 1989, that C compilers weren't free or ubiquitous or good, that plenty of now-forgotten contemporaneous languages existed, and that making entire games in assembly was still quite popular and liable to get you better performance anyway.

That's not quite true. From googling really quick, Ford sold 726k F-150s. In that same year, Tesla sold 936k cars. If you're comparing the number of cars Ford sold last year, you'd be closer but still incorrect by a few thousand cars. Ford sold about 1.91 million cars in 2019 while Tesla has sold 2.3 million cars by the end of 2021. I wouldn't consider 2 million cars a small number.

Your claim was that it was possible to “track those coins”.

Your insistence, wordiness, & goalpost-shifting can’t cover up that you’re trying to assertively bluff knowledge of things you don’t understand, like a child trying to pretend they’re an adult. The adults aren’t fooled!
Improvements are one-time investments of engineering time, but ongoing savings in infra costs. Consider also that these savings also permit scaling to more customers or more work.

Suppose you have two engineers that total to $1M of personnel cost. If they deliver a cost savings of 1% per month (compounding) the savings-per-month will have surpassed their pay per month; you will see your infra costs at 85% of what they were after 16 months, and on month 17 you will have made a net profit on those engineers, where the savings they got you has totalled more than what you've paid them.

If your business is growing, you could project your infra costs to grow beyond $1M per month, and the numbers become even more favorable.
> I have the idea that it's related to atheism. Once you believe all of life and all of nature is ultimately some brute atoms buzzing back and forth anyway, then what your imagination creates is likely to look pretty brutalist. If you believe it's angels and God's creation all the way down you will place meaning and symbols into the large elements and every tiny bit. Anyone else can see this connection?

I don't see why it wouldn't apply equally to religion. If you believe our life on earth is just a brief prelude to an eternity in something much better, why bother building anything beautiful? There'll be plenty of time for that in heaven. Indeed the best buildings and cities you could possibly build on earth pale in comparison to the shabbiest in heaven.

Additionally you wouldn't want beauty on earth to distract from the glory of God. The best way to build is pragmatic, as cheap, durable, and functional as possible with no wasted frivolity. Something like square buildings made of reinforced concrete placed close together so people don't have to spend a lot of time traveling.

So I think it's a wash. It seems like it could go either way honestly.
Recent property crime rates are famously undercounted, as people have largely stopped reporting them because the police do not react.

That's why my remark was on violent crime levels.
If everyone plants their own fruits, the market actually shrinks. No one will buy or sell fruits because we all have enough.

What matters for market/economy is not how much stuff there is, but whether stuff is being circulated and money is being moved around.

There's no economy for air because everyone has access to it.

If for some reason the air becomes scarce, suddenly there will be a market for it and the economy will "grow".

Official measures of economy are mostly about money moving around.
For the people who haven't looked it up yet, or for the people who move every three months.
Building one of these right now (per Scott's design from this video), it's a fun project to work on and it's nice to work on something tangible for once rather than software
This is amazing stuff! Thanks for all the insights!

> Generalists connecting and working with other generalists fail the "deep expertise" requirement, which may not be a problem if there is a lot of low-hanging fruit to be found, but otherwise a concentration of generalists isn't particularly fruitful

That makes perfect sense. Once I started to imagine it more realistically, it became clearer that a big group of these people might not seem as constructive as I had thought.

Really appreciate your suggestions. This is really helpful! Thanks again!!
Putin and by proxy Russia, and I am kind of stunned that there would be any question about where the root cause lies.

> Getting the kids into structured, college-application-fodder activities early enough, so that the kids can get into Stanford and get a job that pays enough so they can repeat the cycle of abuse, err, pattern of success with their kids.

Those of us who grew up poor are eager to make sure our kids are on a path for success.

Working hard at the rat race sucks, but it sucks a lot less than the alternative.
Oh I'm very aware that it doesn't tell the whole story. I think that some guy who thought he would strike it huge by buying Jack Dorsay's tweet in NFT form then resell it multifold while donate half the profits to a charity then realizing he way overpaid for it feels like a good story to me on it's own. It's a great analogy for the market but probably not accurate on the whole.
