a "nice" feature of consoles like the Nintendo Switch is that they can always be played offline, even the ones that are "always online" on other consoles and computers.

There's a lot of issues with the switch - and Steam Deck is expensive, but maybe if it sells really well, other companies will make similar offerings and we might get some actual competition in "consoles" or handhelds that can play games up to about 6 years prior to the release of the console, perfectly.

I imagine with the shrinking of transistors and whatnot, someone could theoretically release an extremely low power version of, say, a 9800GT, or even a 1050ti in a couple of years - Rather than needing all this active cooling and heatpipes and a huge PCB to spread out the RAM and everything, just put the same IP onto a 5nm process or something and get the same performance in 1/10th of the wattage.
ah yes. that, too.
You hate:

I genuinely think this is an antisocial and unhealthy state to be in, yes. Personally I wouldn't mind if there were a few non-dense suburbs for people like you to live in, the issue is that in many cities that's all there is because all of the city was restructured/bulldozed to meet this preference. Yet the way you frame it is as if it's like you're a minority. Your perspective completely and utterly dominated 20th century Anglosphere urban planning. It won so effectively that entire generations have grown up agreeing with you because literally the density of the pre-car era was eradicated and they know nothing different.
This is the answer and why the labor theory of value tends to fall flat without due consideration to the labor of managers and the cumulative returns of labor.

If your work earns $100k/y in revenue for a company, that doesn't mean your work created it entirely. The continued dividends of organization of the company, customer acquisition, legal apparatus, support of your entire organization made that revenue possible and are entitled to a share of it too. It took a village to make that revenue, unless it didn't, in which case: quit and do it yourself to keep all that money.

This is a self-correcting system that ensures everyone gets paid approximately what they contributed.

> Our current fiat system is not perfect but by far the most stable system we have.

ROTFL. Have you taken a look at inflation lately? Are you aware that the number of US dollars in existence has gone up by at least 40% since the start of COVID?

Not sure how anyone could call this "stable"
Let me add a small correction: private monopolies led to high prices, because when our (EU) TLCs where just a single public company quality of service where far superior and prices were FAR lower than now.

So to say: ANY national critical infra like:

- transportation means (roads, rails networks for instance)

- energy production and distribution

- TLCs

- health, pharma included

- weapons productions

MUST be ONLY and ONLY public shows for the sake of the State and Democracy itself. We in the west have lost our global position for the sake of few legal thief profits. Do remember that VERY well.
This supply goes to quite some effort to have a good power factor and filter harmonics sent to the grid... But why?

Grid operators typically have laws in place saying how many harmonics you're allowed to inject, and for stuff under a few kilowatts it's totally fine to just have a bridge rectifier straight to a capacitor. That's what every other electronic device in your house will do.

If you're making a high efficiency power supply, you'd probably want that to be a synchronous rectifier to get 1% or so more efficiency, but it would still only be drawing current on the peaks of the sine wave.

But I don't see why you'd want to go to much effort to make your current draw a nice sine wave rather than a series of peak-chopping spikes. Is it to save money on copper in the power supply wire perhaps?
Agreed, feature parity seems too high a goal to reach. But being able to peruse and even change my notes on the fly is a very attractive option, even if my main interaction is through emacs.

I also think the syntax is just very nice to work with and I prefer it over markdown, so having more options to use it is certainly good.
I was adding juice to a cockpit simulator game, a whole bunch of lerping and dampening of the position/rotation to react to user input. Didn't realise that I had abbreviated cockpitRotation -> cockRot until I submitted the pull request.
I really doubt that’s the reason. Under the ruined nbn, video streaming was still perfectly usable. And slow internet hardly impacted the streaming companies.

It was really gamers trying to grab 100gb updates and workers transferring large files who were hit hardest.
Toronto airport also has (or at least had, it's about 5 years since I was last there) travelators which start slower to allow you to get on/off and then accelerate in the middle (they work by the individual segments getting "longer" and "shorter"). Not sure how fast they go but it definitely feels quite a bit faster than normal ones.
To be fair I thought days of Vang Vieng glory are gone with end of tubing or is it back?

But I agree Vang Vieng was for me tourist hell, though if you get on motorbike and just ride along those karst mountains through villages and unpaved roads it was much better, the problem was the village itself mostly and tubing, I despise much more Luang Prabang full of retired package tourists everywhere you moved, that was truly much more disgusting than VV.
1) Have some collateral (BTC, ETH, USDC, something you somewhat trust);

2) Use collateral to borrow 1M USDT from AAVE/Compound/whatever;

3) Trade 1M USDT for ~1M of some USD-stablecoin you trust (USDC?);

4) Wait for USDT to crash;

5) Buy 1M cheap USDT from decentralized exchanges (using the USDC you kept aside), which will cost you less than 1M USD;

6) Pay back loan (keeping the difference as profit) and get back your collateral.

This discussion so high up at HN while the issue is non-significant compared to the events in the real world right now (mass shooting in the US, war in europe) makes me sad and happy at the same time. Sad because people seem to lose touch with reality, happy because apparently a lot of people get mad about this which means the don’t have generally speaking not a lot of other issues in their life ;-).
Ah, then I'm sorry for my rudeness! I thought it had been done by some automated process, which would have been inappropriate; but it seems perfectly appropriate as the work of a thinking human editor working around constraints.

One thing that has kept me away from getting into .NET terminal & desktop apps is the binary size. Even a hello world app is quite big compared to Go, Rust etc.
> It is a fact of life that everything, if it isn't destroyed, unceremoniously self-destructs.

Yeah, but on what timescale?

Saying it's justified for software to break as soon as the company dies because it would be destroyed on it's own anyway is like saying "we all die anyway so we might as well be slaughtered".
https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/search-long-covid

This study is tracking Covid using a randomized, controlled study measuring multiple factors in order to identify is exactly what long Covid is.

“…this is an ongoing study, but so far there are no diagnostic findings that would allow you to even say for sure that post-Covid even exists, biochemically.”
Maybe there could be some use if the external brick could be standard, so you'd only have to carry the actual computer.

But I personally would much prefer having to lug around a marginally bigger box instead of two smaller ones. Fewer cables to trip over, etc.

Also, if the case is a bit bigger, it will probably be able to house a bigger cooler, so it should be quieter, if I'm looking for a powerful computer.

If I'm OK with a regular middle of the road setup, there already are plenty of options from OEMs. I'm thinking HP Desktop Minis. Dell, Lenovo and Fujitsu also have similar offerings, though I'm not familiar with them. They can be a bit noisy under load, though.

I would be inclined to trust cloud based solutions in terms of data retention. What I don't trust is whether I'll have continued access to said data. Google specifically has a pretty heinous track record when it comes to account suspensions.
3€ per month (I use the cheapest) 20mbps, Ukrainian rural area. optic to my street, ethenet to my house. Also I have 5GB of 4G + free calls inside my operator + enough for me minutes to other operators for 4€ (vodafon). Btw nowadays all internets works super unstable, yesterday my bank was not accessible via wire and today vodafon signal in my area is missing. Also much of Russian resources are blocked even those who are not about war like websites about databases, science, electrical engineering. Imagine using tor for reading nplus1.ru or commenting tech news on habr.ru or hanging on vk.com. Torrents are working great on both directions - that is what I will miss most of all when my country joins EU with its Incvisition of so-called intellectual property.
America is mostly empty. If every town of more than 10,000 starts building homes slightly closer together, you’ll still have plenty of space for solitude.

I think most of people does not want to eliminate suburbia as some kind of aim, they just want to stop subsidizing it and want to end its strange "you can't touch this" status.

You can live in suburbs if you like, just don't expect others to pay for your life choices and don't expect area where you live now will always be suburbs (I am sure there will always be suburbia somewhere else).

Big brain answer...
The article mentions that in the 1975 they beamed 34kW but it doesn't say why this thread of research was not pursued further.
I wonder if there is a format for API -> client automation that can be good enough, in the end Stripe have a rest API, with enough description it should be possible.

Okay so after a quick google it appears Microsoft are the "Simpsons already done it" of the programming world: https://github.com/Azure/autorest/

It'd probably be a good idea to add an Elixir backend for that and point it at the Stripe's API here: https://github.com/stripe/openapi
In a functional analysis class ("analisi funzionale" in Italian, shortened "anal fun") our professor suggested us to complete an exercise using one of the most relevant theorems in the field: the dominated convergence theorem ("convergenza dominata" in Italian, shortened "con dom").
I pay €20 for that.
For a game? Arguably, any "damages" suffered by folks who lost data here would be limited to the amount they paid in order to play the game. You could go even further down that route and say that the game probably provides at least as much entertainment value as seeing a feature film in a theater. Since the average movie ticket cost is somewhere around $10 and the average feature film runs between 75 and 210 minutes (both according to some quick Google searches), you could say the players already got ~$3/hour in value simply from playing already.

Sure, this seems like a silly exercise, but, I could imagine it getting parsed out in a similar manner should the discussion of compensation turn serious.
> There is nothing wrong with infrastructure owners also offering the other layer, as long as you mandate that they charge the same prices internally as they do externally, run separate books, and don’t cross-subsidize.

It seems a lot easier to require them to be separate companies than to invasively regulate them like this.

If the infra side of it can’t be profitable then run it as a crown corp, or subsidize it, but asking companies to play games with their books is practically begging them to come up with the most creative way to bypass the intent. Accountants love puzzles.

And i think this is borne out in history as well. Whether the Paramount Consent Decree or the breaking up of Bell, breaking up vertical integration works well until either new technology created new opportunities for integration (streaming) or they promise to be nice if they could have just a little integration, as a treat, and then shoved that wedge open as hard as they could (telecom).
I swear console tui libraries has been all the rage lately, seems like since we went beyond ncurses or [newt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newt_(programming_library)) there is a new renaissance of tui based software and libraries
Think the point they are making is the repeated taxation is semi-ridiculous.

1. Work a job and pay income tax
2. Invest remaining income, capital gains are taxes when liquidated.
3. Buy a car with the remaining gains, pay sales and property tax
4. Sell car, pay sales tax again
5. Reinvest money, earn gains, pay taxes on them
6. Repeat

The same money just keeps getting taxes. His point is that the money should be taxed once and only once.
1. Money isn't just created.

2. Bitcoin is not inflation save either.

And much more volatile.
Take a look on the Google Docs/Drive support forums. Google loses people's data quite often.
"80 Plus Gold" rating already required up to 92% efficiency, so 94% isn't that groundbreaking. Here is one random example from 5y ago that hits 94-96% efficiency https://www.anandtech.com/show/11252/the-seasonic-prime-tita...

Edit: Sorry, that was probably not polite. But I've been here before too many times. IO Docs, RAML, Blueprint... I guess the question is - why should I adopt this if I'm already committed to the Open API ecosystem, and why should I consider it if I am still deciding?
There is tons of photo viewers, tons of pdf viewers, to the point the market is max saturated because it IS SO EASY to create and lots of demands drive the creation. Unlike file format for developers with sophisticated spec. You can also claim that Postgresql is just a bunch of files and folders, it's just viewer, it's just a binary code that read it blah blah.
I think it is working. The worst case was 50x less likely than the average. That sounds like a lot when stated like that, but its really not when taken in the context of ~6.5 million articles.

More interesting question would be what is the standard deviation (of gap size), not what is the worst outlier
> I genuinely think this is an antisocial and unhealthy state to be in, yes

I don't think so - I find neighbors in the burbs are much more likely to actually try to connect with each other and strike up a conversation with each other casually than I've ever experienced in urban areas.

Granted it's a bit of a monoculture (mostly centered on raising families), and the lack of walkable areas absolutely sucks - I wish suburbs were planned so that commercial areas were interspersed in some way that I could walk to get a coffee and it didn't require a 2 mile drive.

I'm currently in an urban area, and I do love the mobility aspect, but I don't really even have neighbors to connect with (one side is a rental, the other is an airbnb). The last house I owned in a suburbs I knew both my neighbors very well. I miss the BBQ's we used to have.
People are just as likely to lose their saves when they're stored locally, which more than a few amateur streamers I know learned the hard way.
git is trustless to the extent of vc purposes. it is not trustless to the level of financial accounting. for example git has no concept of double spending, while in a blockchain there is (usually?) no concept of branching and merging. but you are right in that they are both based on merkle trees
Almost everyone living a "standard" Western lifestyle could use some supplemental Vitamin D.
If the articles have some reasonably dense small IDs associated with them, then an easy algorithm is to simply pick a random ID between 0 and the max, check if it's a still-existing article, and repeat if not. There are plenty of distributed queue designs capable of distributing IDs to servers so they can be given to new articles, and re-using the id from a deleted article is fine to keep things denser.

(B2B Saas founder here)

People often ask me why PartsBox doesn't offer inexpensive B2C plans to hobbyists and I have to explain that it would not make business sense: the costs of dealing with the idiotic EU VAT MOSS rules would exceed the revenue from subscriptions. Plus it would take a significant amount of time, effort and maintenance to support, thus presenting opportunity costs.

If you run a B2B business, things are reasonably straightforward (although still far from obvious), but B2C is a nightmare in the EU (as a side note, I have no idea how people expect to run sustainable small B2C businesses, this is really difficult).

Also, Paddle might be the only reasonable solution, because they do the invoicing themselves. If you can accept that your customers will be getting invoices from someone else, this simplifies things a lot. There is no company that does invoicing for your SaaS correctly if you are based in some EU countries, even though many claim to do so.
Does this gui framework, work with the old windows Command Prompt or do you need to use the new Windows Terminal? I am just wondering for running on servers that dont have the new Terminal yet.

Most of it is crap though. The amount of high quality media is actually lacking. A lot of good mobile games are just ports from a different platform. If you were to wipe all mobile games every five years the overall quality would go down.
Perhaps that's the core developers' goal.

What they are trying to deliver and what they are actually delivering are two wildly different things. They've built a platform that destroys the environment faster than the entire banking sector, enables scams and ponzi schemes at unprecedented scale and anonymity, meanwhile delivering a whopping transaction throughput of around 20/s - enough to support a few moderately busy supermarkets in a single small city.
Get this thing upstream!
I'm having a hard time trying to tell if this comment is sarcastic or not, so at the risk of Poeing myself, of course they wouldn't pay them 10k dollars. The client has lost nothing. They still got the gameplay hours. They still have those experiences. In a very real legal sense they don't need anything to be made whole. They paid for the right to play a game. They played the game. They can continue to play the game. There is no monetary value they need to be compensated. At an absolute worst case scenario the devs can twiddle some bits and add levels and xp to new profiles for the player, but that would be in the realm of 'being nice' and not 'was sued into doing it'.
I'm not a Go user so I don't really know how to Go proxy works, but if webmasters had a way to opt out via robots.txt or specific status codes (429) and then the proxy at Google sends a response to the client meaning "try it yourself" (i.e., try again in direct mode) then it could have been an adequate solution for this scenario.
Nothing is being fixed for the areas initially promised. My area, rural, was supposed to be the first to go fibre.... but Oz is huge... and so they chickened out and gave the rural guys nothing.
The main house still only has ADSL1 (8Mb/s peak, & generally sits around 2Mb with a lot of noise). As such, I use a tethered 4G connection for all internet in my cabin.

However, to cater for rural areas, they rolled out Wireless NBN, which is just a dedicated 4G connection and 50% more cost over standard NBN... staying on 4G is cheaper and has a closer tower (so the signal is better).

Starlink is starting to look better... (if only I trusted Elon Musk).
I just checked the installer of GTA San Andreas and indeed there it is.
Increasing batch size does not increase the cost of your training. The opposite actually: With bigger batch size (to an extent), models tend to converge slightly faster so you need less GPU hours.
As for the rest, training for 1h with batch size of 2048 on 10 TPUs, or training for 8h with batch size of 256 on 1 TPU has the exact same cost, the cost is just spread over a longer time.
Yes, and they're infamous for breaking all the time.
This comment is spot-on, although there are some non-traditional options emerging. I've been on Starlink for months now and it's not bad in my semi-rural area (and the fastest option available here).

In Toronto a client has used Terago for over a decade (they have their own radio network), which is expensive but has also been great (and managed to stay up when both Rogers and Bell were knocked offline by a major fiber backbone break some years back).

Personally I think reducing barriers and finding ways to make it cheap to install new infrastructure (eg. piggyback off hydro facilities?) would also help a lot to stimulate new startups.
The article is kind of confusing. It starts off noob-friendly, defining what a stablecoin is and the relevant terms. Then suddenly it starts talking about "redemption rate" without ever defining that.

It's a big jump from "we're going to be noob-friendly" to "sorry, only experts who already understand these systems beyond this point".
> I believe the copper and coax infrastructure was subsidized by the gov't and so regulations were created to require granting independent ISPs wholesale access to the (last-mile) infra. AFAIK there are no similar regulations for the fibre networks as those were not subsidized.

That’s why they cut out the copper when they light up the fiber.

Hi, thanks for sharing your experiences. What's "Not double-locking"? Thanks.
Because data centers don't care about ewaste. It is cheaper to have power supplies redundant and in stock than it is to have a technician on retainer.
> AFAIK there are no similar regulations for the fibre networks as those were not subsidized.

Which irks me because these companies were able to build out these fibre networks because of the advantage that they received from being practically gifted publicly owned utilities.

Where is the "reasoning" in this? sounds like pattern recognition to me.
