Uber hack is a watershed moment for cloud security
Uber internal infrastructure is hacked. In the old world you would just disconnect the Data Centre from the internet to figure out what is going on.

However Uber has so many clouds and SAAS based services that they are unable to comprehend what is working and what they should shut down, it will take days to figure things out.
tl;dr – they turn Nvidia's product (the GPU, memory configuration, and chip design) into the thing that consumers buy (the actual graphics card you slot into your PC).

They're what's called an AIB (stands for Add In Board). They buy the actual GPU chips from Nvidia (or AMD, for other companies) and manufacture their own graphics cards.

For some cards, an AIB might design their own PCB, or they might license the "reference" design from Nvidia. They'll also engineer their own cooling solution.

Often, an AIB will offer several different variants based on the same GPU. For example, EVGA offers a few different models of Nvidia's 3080 GPU – mainly their XC3 and FTW3 models. The FTW version is a little more expensive, but has a larger heatsink, better power delivery, etc. The XC version will probably run hotter and louder, but can fit in smaller cases. They're both "RTX 3080"s, but EVGA has built 2 distinct products (actually way more than 2, in real life) from the same Nvidia GPU.
It seems like the beginning of the post avoids the issue. "First a was this, now it's this" doesn't take a position on whether it's really the same object, just how it appears in the debugger.
Thank you for highlighting the key distinction and referencing a source with more information.

> although good luck convincing anyone that you lacked such intent

So it sounds like in the courtesy towing context, the city claims that it doesn't have any intent to deprive people of the use of their property, but it's behaving in a way which a reasonable person would totally anticipate would lead to people being unable to use their property (by dropping vehicles in locations which are never communicated to the owner).
The vaccine is intended to make you allergic to meth.
This is difficult because meth is small and weakly antigenic.
The vaccine candidates attach extra groups to the meth to make it seem more like a bioactive compound that the immune system should destroy. (I am describing conjugate vaccines badly)
The studies reviewed here suggest that vaccination can produce meth antibodies and reduce blood concentration but it's not clear to me that this would work on a human addict.
It seems like the addict would just take in more meth, unless the antibody reaction is supposed to be an unpleasant disincentive.

It seems that previous studies on cocaine failed to actually affect behavior so this may well be more like pure research than a practical project.
Your mistake was to pay the customs duties and receive the goods.

What you should have done was taken them to tribunal for the missing warranty item they owed you.

> a president at 70-80 won't be around long enough to see the full impact of many of the decisions they make

Presumably there are advantages there too. Perhaps harder to bribe or threaten someone older (they don’t care as much?)
Wait so can you actually connect tiny base to SQLite?
IANAL and haven't read the laws of Philly but it seems pretty obvious that moving your property off a public street is not considered theft.
Even reliable streams benefit from webtransport.

Right now (as I understand it) WebSocket is HTTP1.1 only - which means if you’re using HTTP2/HTTP3 and want to use websockets, the websocket connection will create a separate TCP connection just for WS. This is slow to start - both due to needing another handshake and TLS dance. And you can run into a bunch of problems due to per-domain browser connection limits.

Reliable streams over webtransport will solve these problems. They’ll be faster, more reliable and a better fit for HTTP/3.
PWAs are a collection of standards, many if which are broadly supported. E.g. service workers. Additionally they are progressive so PWAs should be designed to function without the specific features.
> at least that power would go to something useful

I consider that a moral opinion.
I wish the site was still up because I swear the EVGA SuperNova G3 was the highest rated power supply johnnyguru ever reviewed. Their review from my memory never covered that. I may have that all wrong seems multiple people remember the issue.

They could have easily housed them , being its one of the wealthiest elites playground for the uber rich.

Heck they could have even likely housed them all in one of their guest houses or servants quarter on the Island. Better yet they could have allowed them to stay on the main house for the 11 months they don't even live in their property.

This reminds me of the time Ted Kennedy was pushing for alternative wind energy until a study came back stating that the most efficient place to house them was right of marthas vineyards. Then he shut up quickly about it because it would have ruined their view. Clearly Martha's vineyard is a soft spot and off limits for the hypocrites.

I only Hope Desantis uses Florida money next to purchases property in Martha's vineyard and starts building housing for the homeless right next to them. Then will see how caring they really are.

These are the same people that love telling us what to do, but make themselves exempt from it all.
Then this past year you've gotten lucky.

We were in an unprecedented bull run for tech stocks for a decade plus. No guarantee that continues. Markets are anti-inductive and past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Cash. I have used a branchless bank for much of my banking, but it is still useful to keep an account open with a branched bank for the times that I need to do transactions with amounts of cash that are larger than ATM limits.
"I definitely cringe" and "Also ... is also ... very cringe to me"

You certainly get plenty of mileage out of the word cringe. Is it a verb, is it an adjective - who knows? Your also ... also construct riffs on "either ... or", "both ... and" and the like. There must be a name for terms like that - you get them in Latin too so they've been around for a while eg nec ... necque (neither ... nor).

Jawn is just a colloquialism but I've seen also ... also several times before now. I've also seen very cringe too.

I am not taking the piss but I feel that I am watching language evolve right in front of me. I suspect that whilst this article and set of threads gets itself all whizzed up over jawn, it is missing the rather bigger point about language and conversations that travel at the speed of light instead of just sound and is distributed by the internet and not just the post office.

On HN we pontificators have an audience that a Roman Imperator could only dream of.
Here in Sweden it would have been a theft-adjacent crime which is translated into English as 'criminal conversion', and it seems that criminal conversion fits.

A crime where someone does something to somebody's property without intending to actually take the property, or not to take it permanently.

Not being familiar with this jurisdiction I can't say whether that's the actual law though. Depending on how it's defined it could easily be theft.
Well, EVGA isn't just reselling Nvidia's product. They are building a new product (a vidio card) that uses Nvidia's product (the GPU itself). So by setting a price ceiling, they prevent card makers for making higher end cards with more features and/or higher quality. And I would argue that preventing the existence of a product that consumers might want hurts some consumers at least.
Yeah, this is a case where money is inevitably going to be lost and everyone is saying "not it". It's not clear that there's any "fair" way to allocate the losses that will result from massive GPU oversupply.
Luckily for us, your hn posts don't matter, either.
Monero works with CPU mining.
Trump was 70 and rather immature. You could more easily argue that having to drop out of school to pay the bills because your single

If you define poor as "below the poverty line" and white people as "white non-hispanic", this is not true. There are more white hispanics below the poverty line than white non-hispanics.

Typically when people are using the phrase "white people", they are not including latinos so I would rate "America has far more poor white people than poor non-white people" mostly false.

Also I really hate how the standard demographics in the US are WHITE, BLACK, ASIAN, or OTHER with an additional binary of HISPANIC or NON-HISPANIC.
We kind of can. England turned India into an impoverished country, backstabbed Poland at the start of WWII, raped half of Africa, broke the Middle East, killed most of the Native Americans, not to mention the whole slavery bit. It still has artifacts from all over the world. Oh, and China+Opium. Irish potato famine.

I have nothing against England, mind you, but I do have a problem with the English whining about tariffs, tourism, or whatnot after Brexit. Seriously.

If EVGA were addicting your country to drugs, shipping you off for slavery, and stealing your artifacts, you'd have a case. Complaining about someone not filling out your tariff form the way you'd like is sheer entitlement and hypocrisy. Boohoo.
I have one of their GTX 960s, and it's been rock-solid even when it has been continuously crunching on BOINC projects for months on end.

I was hoping that the crash in crypto mining would bring some sanity back to the GPU market, but (like all too many things) it's really not a market after all, and sanity is too much to ask for.

I'm sad to see them go as well, but if they can't make money building graphics cards, then I don't blame them for getting out.
Having worked a bit in a conceptually similar product, in my opinion the real problem is how you define the layout of your UI, not the individual components.
I don't think AIBs like EVGA are allowed to make server cards and the demand for those is not unlimited.
You forgot drugs!
> There seems to be not too much interest in or hype about WebTransport.

I feel like this is partially because the main value of the API comes from working better on lower-quality networks, rather than providing the ability to do something completely brand new.

> FF and Safari don't support it yet.

For what it's worth, Mozilla are positive about it [0] and are actively involved in the standards process. I don't believe the WebKit team has stated their position, though there are Apple people who are involved in the standards process too.

> I think it's missing a killer app. But I am not sure what WebTransport would enable that isn't already possible with current APIs.

When we started out working on WebTransport, there were two major use cases we had in mind: live media and web games. IETF MoQ working group [1] will hopefully address the first one. I don't know whether anyone is using it for building games, but I don't actually have that much visibility into what's going on in that space.

Toothpaste was a bad example, OP's original point is still good IMO. Sometimes analogies fail, that doesn't mean that the main point isn't valid anymore.

There is a dizzying mix of GPU brands and offerings out there. Some have better cooling than others. It is a giant mixed bag just like the toothpaste example.
Cool! Please take a look and see if it works out. I should point out that the ui-react library (that provides React bindings) does _not_ depend on ReactDOM, so you can use it just as easily in React Native.

At least, once I got the bundler to be happy about the export format! Please see https://github.com/tinyplex/tinybase/issues/17#issuecomment-...
I know it's never going to actually be implemented, but I admire Elizabeth Warren for actually trying to do something to address this -

Yeah, what? I've been pretty happy with my 6900xt. ML workloads are not as good without Nvidia branded stuff, but games run great and with lower power draw/heat than competition.
I'm not saying law enforcement never does it, but that sounds like a very bad idea. Your power bank will be out of phase with the grid, and both will be feeding into eachother, which can cause all sorts of problems if I recall my classes properly.

There's a device for doing that properly that automatically detects the appropriate moment for changeover and does it near instantly. It's still quite dangerous. https://wiebetech.com/products/hotplug-field-kit/
It's made funnier by the fact that I've never had a dentist who's cared. I asked a couple and each time got the line that the physical act of brushing matters much more than the type of toothpaste. I vaguely remember one saying "as long as it has fluoride"

I think every toothpaste ad says "4 out of 5 dentists recommend" their brand because 4 out of 5 dentists says "Yeah sure. Okay, use that one. It doesn't matter. Just brush and floss regularly and methodically"

BMW was very early in on R&D for practical electric cars compared to most legacy automakers. Maybe the first large-ish scale thing was the 1 Series ActiveE (some family friends were in the Electronaut program), but they’ve been exploring it for decades.

The i3’s price (and especially looks) we’re problems, but they absolutely could have had a strong contender years ahead of other legacy auto makers.
So if the main distinction I'm looking for is abrasiveness... does that mean that the key differentiator is completely undocumented to customers?
Successfully graduating from u of phoenix I heard was no easy feat. They didn’t teach much or at all and failed most of their students. To actually graduate from there required a great deal of drive and determination. The program was designed to fall so to succeed against that is a undervalued accomplishment. It was completely worthless for signaling though.

The caliber of student going into MIT is a lot different than UOP but the net ADD from MIT is probably not as big as you expect especially compared to any other accredited institution which UOP was not.
Patrick mocks the concept of "so-called food deserts", in part because social scientists use as-the-crow-flies distance to grocers to determine them, but compared to using road networks that is actually understating the problem of food access. (eg one might live one mile from a grocery store, but the walk would certainly cover more distance than that, and never less. not to mention lights slowing people down further...). So I'm not really sure what his burn is about.
Doesn’t having a recovery phone make you vulnerable to a port out scam, basically invalidating any 2FA?
NaN boxing doesn't need pointers to end in b000. You need more than ten bits that don't matter. So you need something like 48 bit pointers, and once you have that you're already done. That's enough to tag 30 different types of pointer and every smaller type.
You can be annoyed all you want, but the process is insane. The only options available to me are my two university emails. One of the email domains simply no longer exists. I actually took the time today to call my old university, and they were kind enough to temporarily turn on my old university email address for the other email tied to my Facebook account. Facebook won't send the code to the email after I correctly login. It reports an error. (I verified that the email is working.) There's no way to report the error anywhere. The only way you can report an error to Facebook is to be logged into Facebook. There's another login screen that allows you to reset your password. I did so there since that actually worked by sending an email code. After I do that, it takes me back to the "browser verification" screen. Now, the email I verified has disappeared from that list! The only one left is the email that is tied to a domain that no longer exists. It is impossible to get an email at that address. It's ridiculous.

TLDR: I actually recovered my old university email address, and Facebook refuses to send a code to that email and has now removed it as an option.

even if EVGA GPU sales is high, the company can lose money.

EVGA probably make more money on their PSU consider the cost is low and the markup can be high

Trudeau government considering end to Covid-19 vaccination mandate at border
No, the argument I am making is:

The Rolling Stone thinks Facebook is providing a defective service (i.e. a service that is net harmful). If you agree with that contention, then you should also agree that Facebook should not offer that service. The comment I was responding to was making the generic argument that: “The problem is too hard. Nobody can make a non-defective solution. Therefore, the provider has no choice except to provide a net harmful service.” That is a flawed argument.

You may also disagree with the premise: “Facebook is providing a net harmful service”, but that is independent of the invalidity of the argument presented which assumed it was providing a net harmful service, but they should be allowed to do so anyways due to the argument presented.
Morally, yes it's theft. Legally, probably not.
That tweet thread is 100% wrong. I absolutely do have the moral authority to tell everyone that burning billions of joules per day in a bank of resistive elements and then dumping the heat directly into the atmosphere is morally wrong. It's not even a tough question. It is clearly a malicious (hypothetical) act being done only to hurt others.

So if there's an unambiguous case of morally abhorrent energy use, everything else is up for debate. That tweet thread goes off the rails early, as it's clear the author is financially incentivized to not understand the position he is arguing against. So it's no surprise the argument is nonsense.
Yeah i have never heard that before, there is no way that's true
Real Networks did that for us, after the dot-com crash. The stock promptly dropped some more, and never recovered. I've been deeply skeptical of stock-based compensation ever since...
That would be the case if you thought it all the way through and the manager had discretion, but what probably happened was that the company had a blanket policy of "no activating GPS trackers without director approval" that prevented that from occurring.
>> but I do have a problem with the English whining about tariffs, tourism, or whatnot after Brexit

Good thing I'm not British then.

>>. Complaining about someone not filling out your tariff form the way you'd like is sheer entitlement and hypocrisy.

Really? Not filling out customs documents correctly is now anything other than lazy and incompetent? Wow.
No, there's no _actual_ RDBMS involved. The query engine uses a functional style of query that has similar concepts to SQL, but all the evaluation (and reactivity) is first party, in the library itself.

Of course it would be pretty easy/fun to persist your TinyBase content into a SQLite database, or pull a dataset from it. The demos load up TSV but you could easily do something similar from an actual database somewhere.
For some more background: bitcoin's POW is basically just sha256, which was trivial to port first to GPUs and then to custom hardware. That makes mining a bigger up-front investment and thus more centralized, which is why almost all later coins chose POWs that aren't easy to speed up with ASICs
> A habit of lying, for example, can contribute to depression and anxiety. Denial of truths that we'd rather not face can become expressed as obsessive-compulsive disorders. A hedonistic lifestyle can negatively impact cognition and lead to monomania

Is there any evidence of this? Not saying you are wrong but without a cite this just seems hand-wavy conjecture. I could just as easily say lying to yourself about the state of the world leads to happiness and it is the realists that are depressed and anxious.

Well, it’s been in the works for years (since at least 2019 from recollection). It’s made it’s way through the IETF and W3C, and it’s been implemented in Chrome and Edge since the start of the year.

It won’t see adoption until firefox adopts it and HTTP/3 starts gaining traction. But I’d say it’s a lot further along than the “coffee stained napkin” stage. It’s older than covid.
Most people would probably agree an age limit of some sort makes sense. Very few people would want a 10 year old elected president.

Once you agree on the premise, it’s only a matter of asking what the limit ought to be, and while there may be some theoretical value to that discussion, it seems the average voter in practice is at most ambivalent about candidate age, and I definitely don’t think it’s a given that were the limit ever changed, that the number would be lowered, rather than increased.

By way of example, people in the last decade seem to currently have a preference towards significantly older candidates. Biden took office as this nation’s oldest president at 78 [1], and Trump was our nation’s second oldest president at 70. [1]. Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s largest competitor for delegates in the 2016 primary, would have been 75 had he been nominated. [2]

America, for better or worse, seems to like old people.

Temporarily depriving somebody of their property counts, these towings are clearly theft.

The actually interesting legal question revolves around who (if anybody) is liable in this situation.
