Are VCs taking risk though?

At least in India, most of the venture capital startups are copies of existing products but with discounts and rewards attached through VC investments.

The timeframe for return on investments is too low for any risky bets. You aren't going to end up cashing out deep tech in few years.
Mozilla created a vanilla js library that's similar called A-frame [1]. I've used it with success in a commercial project.

A-frame is heavily focused on VR, but can be used for any 3d project.

It also uses three.js under the hood.

> Why not allow an x86 application to open an ARM library if it is actually ARM code at run-time?

Because the Application Binary Interface (ABI) of ARM and x86-64 is different. Function calling conventions don't map 1:1, structure layouts may differ, exceptions can't be propagated properly, etc. etc. etc..

That's why Rosetta only allows you to mix code of a single architecture in a given address space, so that it can be emulated as a whole. That way all code that's being executed has the same ABI.

You can't just pass a law against inter-generational wealth. It's too easy to work around, too many ways of passing money without directly inheriting it. The only way it could possibly work is if had cultural buy in. If everybody thought it was a good idea and believed in it, at that point the laws just codify and re-enforce the existing beliefs.

So I'm not setting up a dystopia where politicians swoop in and rob the elderly. I'm suggesting what if we radically restructured our society so we ACTUALLY gave everyone an equal opportunity, instead of allowing inequality to accumulate generationaly in the ways it does.
How would Nvidia even know what people are doing with the cards they purchase? Thats like saying that Intel should disclose that a large portion of its chips are being used to siphon porn off the network.

A related idea I had a while ago:

I think it'd be cool if you could use a cell phone as a mouse. You'd have a mount that holds the back of the phone slightly off the table, and the phone would track its position using the IMU and maybe motion tracking with the camera. The phone display could show a subregion of the monitor and you could click by tapping the phone screen.

At the risk of discussing sensitive topics on a platform ill-suited:

If, in your hypothetical recidivism case, an AI "accurately" determined that a pattern of higher recidivism-related features was correlated to race, and was able to determine "accurately" that the specific subset of recidivism-related features predicted race, why would it be wrong to make parole decisions using those recidivism-related features?
I view it as a failure of education. Education should produce well-rounded people who are happy, tolerant, and calm. Yet the US, for whatever reasons, has been producing these kind of angry, impulsive, and less tolerant students. Ironically, they are also the bunch who are easily subject to hoaxes and can't tell information from opinion.

>You're suggesting that there is some coordinated and intentional scheme by the ruling class to use economists as a way to serve them

I wasn't suggesting that. OP did. Nothing I said suggests that economics is an incorruptible field. The problem is that a disproportionate demand for economists comes from people with an agenda. We all know that lobbying exists. When politicians get most of their knowledge about economics from these lobbyists rather than from less biased sources, of course it will seem like the field is more broken than it actually is.
Coincidentally, currently there are ongoing discussions on how to utilize Git outside of the software engineering field.

In particular, this is small anecdotal case study on how a calendar booking/rental system can work with Git [1]. For me this is a wonderful example of application for Local-First software albeit a simple one.

I absolutely agree with size. I'm long time Samsung A5 2017 user because Lineage OS compatibility and size.

However I'm refuse to pay more than 200 USD for phone. It is device that could be easily broken, lost or stolen. I also do not need super specs. I mean... It is ridiculous how basic purpose of phone (calls, messages, emails, contacts...) shifted to machine that has betters specs than laptops. Of course quite a lot o people simply switch from laptop to high end phone, but what about those who need reliable phone for basic communication and don't want to pay for features that don't actually need (I never used front camera, NFC, big screen for gaming, etc.)?

Maybe I'm old fashioned but for me:
• phone = communication, calendar, notes, GPS
• pictures = camera
• gaming, work = desktop
The bigger issue with the off-chain backed coins is verifying assets. I think it's pretty well accepted now that Tether was just lying about their cash reserves in the beginning and now don't even try to claim they're backed with cash but a dubious opaque mix of commercial debt, cash, and crypto.

Regretfully, it filled with a lot of carrier spyware (originally Verizon) that eats the battery in the background. If cleaned up, the battery life gets much better (up to two days). But, after a month or so, for me the phone for some reason factory-reset itself. Not sure, if it was an update or initiated by the carrier or a hardware glitch or something else.

Nice, clean looking, unlocked, very inexpensive hardware (<$100 refurbished), but very poor android build.
The answer to this is essentially that CPUs are only cheap if you make them in huge volume, and "I want something that's like a PC but not actually PC compatible" is a pretty small market, so an SoC designed and manufactured for that niche would just be too expensive for anybody to buy. So if you try to target that niche you are going to be doing it with an SoC designed for some other market, and accepting the tradeoffs that come with it. The traditional high-volume Arm CPU market is mobile, which is what almost all these SBCs are borrowing parts from, and you don't have PCIe on a mobile phone, so no PCIe on an SBC using a mobile part. Possibly as more Arm server chips appear something usable in a desktop form factor will appear, but I suspect that you'll end up just seeing a different set of tradeoffs instead (e.g. much higher price per part).
On my G7 Play with LineageOS, I was able to "disable" the notch -- that is, draw a black bar around it, and have a proper rectangular display with a full-width status bar right below it.

Works great, especially considering the display is not quite small enough for me in the first place.

Again.. You are obviously free to do whatever you want, but hoarding data and then associating the source of the data with the cost of your data hoarding is totally illogical.

Your personal expenses for hoarding data, or the practice of hoarding data, have nil correlation to piracy itself.

To add to this at this point,

> Streaming services still have significant service problems that need to be addressed.

This connection is irrational as well - the name "streaming services" already implies that content is being streamed for viewing and not downloaded for storage.

If you are under a different assumption, or concerning other issues with streaming services, yes, piracy might be a service problem, but on the other hand, there are options available to actually buy and download content that you can also store.

Really, these associations you are seeing are incredibly irrational and this might be a contributing factor to people assuming this would be a call for help. I do not assume it is, data hoarding is not necessarily a problem in itself, but that doesn't make your invalid associations any more valid.
That's not a totally fair comparison, because before smartphones there was no inherent advantage to a phone being larger. You got exactly the same features either way, so miniature was premium. Now the big screen is the premium feature.

I suggest getting a therapist at the minimum. If clinical anxiety is the root cause or catalyst, then a psychiatrist could help get over that hill.

I also suggest taking the Enneagram test. Understanding your personality at both its best and worst can give you insight on how you got there and how to stay or leave there, respectively.

In the short term, try to understand that fear of failure is basically fearing the inevitable, since you will fail at many points in life, but fear will actually increase the probability and impact of failure. At the same time, failure is somewhat meaningless unless it affects your health or life (like failing to free solo a cliff). Time keeps ticking and the "moment of failure" passes without a blip.

I have been taught at times that any done project is a good project, no matter how small. So in many ways, you have got to just jump in and do something, no matter how small. Then those small things will start building on each other. For your assignments, address what you need to get started and then you just gotta do it. Don't let anxiety take over once you do start. You won't finish the assignment in the first minute. It will take time. In the future, start earlier. When you start earlier the repercussions of failure are much smaller, and it doesn't loom over you. You have time, you can ask questions, you can take a break and think about it, you can do hobbies, see friends, etc. As you procrastinate, all these strategies are thrown out the window. Talk to someone. If you're stressed out, ask for help. Speak to the instructor or whoever is managing the assignments or tasks. Don't try to solve every problem (any problem in life) all on your own. To get you going, I'd almost suggest this as your first tactic. Go talk to whoever this assignment is due to and be honest with them. You got started late due to whatever (it doesn't matter) and you're stressed out, but you want to do well and get back ahead of things. Ask for help on getting started. Any reasonable person will respond well to someone telling them they're stressed but want to do what they can to work on what they need to. If they're not helpful, ask a fellow classmate.

And don't underestimate the experience and helpfulness that a psychiatrist and psychologist (therapist) can provide to you. It can be a very effective method to address these things. They are not just for scary psychological disorders, but left unchecked, depression and anxiety can become scary.

> "And anyone I know who's seriously into movies, meaning they watch stuff far beyond the Follywood mainstream..."

This sounds pretty dreadful - "Follywood" is hardly clever I'm afraid to say. Especially when linking it to an elite snobbery of being "seriously into movies" .

But please hear me out - I don't mean to just rip on you for a turn of phrase. But there are a couple of things you are maybe overlooking that are sort of implied by tying these concepts together as you have.

Hollywood is a truly magnificent human achievement, but sometimes it's hard to see that when bobbing around in the waves of its deluge. Step back a bit and consider that in the past century it has produced a steady stream of narrative masterpieces that are shared by the whole world. That the stagecraft and special effects have given palpable form to impossible dreams, etc.

In less glowy-flowy terms, it is an overwhelming machine designed to produce and transmit pure culture. A major force in what they call "Cultural Imperialism". To a not insignificant degree it turned the tide in the Cold War, for example. You can see the struggle every time there is a news story about China demanding modification, or rejecting Hollywood output. Eventually Hollywood will win that struggle, even if it takes a few generations.

There are many countries with their own film industries, least of which is China, but including India, Japan, Korea, Italy France, and on and on. But none of them have had remotely the success, popularity or power of Hollywood. The place, the machine is an absolute Triumph.

But to get back to your unfortunate turn of phrase... imagining that you or they have some elite status due to watching films out of the mainstream - A major component of the Hollywood machine is using the mainstream films' revenue to subsidize genre films, student films and often picking up truly independent films. These are the elitist films you seem to be referring to, that or the film output of the other countries. This range of films have always been a part of the machine, since the early days a century ago. Much of it is mediocre or clumsy. Sometimes they are shocking or disruptive. Sometimes they are genuinely brilliant or visionary.

But all of this obscure stuff that movie buffs are glorying in, ultimately this is just the output of the training ground for the Hollywood Mainstream. Consider Sam Raimi or Peter Jackson's filmography to see what I mean. Both started out making quirky indy horror films and once graduated began putting out $Billion dollar joints.

I'll reiterate my previous comment then: the existence of detransitioners proves that gender identity is mutable.

From reading the accounts of detransitioners, gender identity seems to be more like a political or religious belief than anything else - often stable for long periods of time, but given the right circumstances, can be changed.

Also, it's really not like Intel is doing badly profit wise. They made $20 billion last year. That is 125% of AMDs entire revenue and 75% of nvda's. All this talk of growth opportunity for nvda/amd seems to ignore that the pretty much best case scenario for them is to become what intel already is profitability wise.
> If you have any kind of condition, disorder, disease, etc. obviously talk to a medical professional.

That's sort of the rub in cavalierly recommending things to the general population, even when they're only somewhat extreme. There are plenty of undiagnosed conditions out there, and the further you move from the center of the distribution, the more you're going to sweep up potential risk in ways that aren't easily caught with a simple "not applicable if".

I say this as someone who fasts pretty often, though usually not more than 2 days. It's the same reason I wouldn't recommend everyone go out and take 200 mcg of LSD, "unless you have a mental health condition". This world of perfect information about one's own health that you're imagining simply doesn't exist. (Again, I say this as someone who thinks LSD is wonderful and salutary and has recommended it to many many friends in person with the appropriate personalized caveats).
So that's actually one of the awful implications of this paper. It's probably actually happening at a rate higher than would be noticed by humans.

If a given piece of silicon is hosing up a GEMM (matrix multiply), in graphics scenarios this may be invisible to the human eye as it could potentially just introduce artifacts in a scene rendering that could be entirely ephemeral to the frame.

In the case of crypto mining though, it's completely possible (probable?) that there are GPUs that can't possibly ever calculate a proper SHA3 hash (see the paper on AES instructions that fail in symmetric ways).

Sometimes you don't want to have large quantities in cash. So you store it in a bank. But sometimes you want it outside of the (possibly corrupted) legal system, or want to take money outside of the (corrupted) country. In that case, a stable cryptocurrency seems to do fine.

It's truly online without any government being able to confiscate it (if you play it smart).

> That's a swastika symbol which is common in Asia (where binance and its founder is from). The nazi symbol is tilted and has an opposite image to it.

I'll probably get hammered for saying this, but: no, that's not true.

There are many variations of the swastika, and it's not as simple as "look which way it's facing" or "see if it's tilted". That's a common meme often repeated on the Internet, but it's not true and it's trivially falsifiable, because it's quite easy to see religious uses of the swastika with various different orientations and directions. It's also not hard to find examples of Nazi imagery - both from the 20th century and contemporary - which uses an untilted swastika. Context is what differentiates them, not the direction or angle.

> I'm surprised by the connections made.

As someone who works in incident response, I'm more surprised by their statement, because it really falls short on every level, even if we take it at face value.

I'm more surprised that nobody on the team managed to notice the obvious Star of David in that image. Even without the text, it's an astoundingly bad look for a company in the financial space to use that imagery, and if their claim is that nobody involved in the design spotted the issue, that's itself quite concerning and raises even more questions.

I'm also surprised that an account that currently has 8 million followers is trying to blame this on an intern. Intern projects don't just happen to get publicly presented like that on a whim. Even for small companies, but especially for ones verified Twitter accounts and which are trying to be taken seriously, brand presence is very actively managed and a lot of effort goes into every post.

"Blaming the intern" is a tactic that people used a decade ago, but you see it much less these days because it stopped being plausible. And if we're expected to believe it here, then that just raises more questions about how they managed to provide an intern with unfettered access like this to announce a product with (apparently) zero oversight at any point.
Sony cameras work (as mentioned below) but nearly every mirrorless or dslr I’ve used does this by default or can be set up to by switching to continuous AF modes. This is best done while connected to a power source, as the motors drain battery faster.
