Well, in the past, Nvidia would make a reference card design with a horrible cooler and power delivery, then AIBs would make an actual card that you want with proper cooler and power delivery. After some time, production of reference card would slow down or stop and custom cards will dominate.

For 10x series, Nvidia decided that AIBs are parasites that leech on Nvidia success and started designing their own "good" cards called Founders Edition that has a good cooling and power delivery. That was not related to the reference design card given to AIBs.

10x series was still meh in terms of cooling, better than reference, but meh compared to say EVGA FTW or really any other AIB card that isn't a reference design. Nvidia, kept nice things like Titan to themselves.

For 20x and 30x they doubled down on their own cards, both had good cooler and power delivery. Again, certain consumer chips for only available in Nvidia made cards.

Note: in all cases, some AIBs sell generic reference design cards under their brand.

> Surely they make more money if they sell the whole thing to customers themselves?

It's about who takes the risk. Yeah, their margin for cards is probably better than margin for chips, but:

- Nvidia had much smaller supply chain
- Nvidia didn't have to deal with distribution
- Nvidia didn't have to deal with end customer
- Every was sold in bulk
- Logistics were not as complicated
You do understand that the computers they use for cloud-based deep learning have GPUs in them, right?

It is a bit dead when it comes to a git, since I am trying to get the first machine needed, which is a DNA synthesizer (asked about that here https://groups.google.com/g/diybio/c/V3OYVBxaH04 for example).

The idea is that with a traditional DNA synthesizer I can have positive controls of the chemistry, and develop a chip that can fit inside the flow cell of the existing synthesizer. In biotech, everything goes wrong a bit more often than in computer science, so the focus lately has been getting my hands on a working synthesizer. This is a tried and true method of getting chip synthesis working.

If that works, I'd like to provide the chip at cost for integrators, as well as develop a functioning full product for integration with some bots I'm building for my official work.

Javascript and ORMs have a (fairly well-known) interesting set of problems:

* There aren't many

* Those that you can find, don't support Typescript, so it's all guesswork.

* Don't have much (if any) support for related data queries

So I've been working on a ORM for PostgreSQL and Typescript for a few months now in my spare time [0]. It's been probably one of the biggest, challenging, and interesting problems I have embarked on solving.

Some things i've observed along the road:

* Typescript is weird and wonderful when you push it to it's limits, particularly around recursive structures. Strange workarounds exist, nicely provded by all of the two Stack Overflow Typescript gurus that exist.

* PostgreSQL doesn't have some of the features that you would expect from other DB technologies (i.e. certain table alterations, limit on update and delete, etc.). Weird and wonderful workarounds exist, but it always leaves you thinking _why aren't those workarounds just the de facto way for doing those things?_.

I just took 6 months off and recently found a contract for 3 days/week. It wasn’t that hard for me. Companies didn’t blink an eye when I mentioned a break due to burnout. I’m a 30yo software engineer in the US. I think I do have more risk tolerance than most, though.
No need for this hostile, bad faith sort of argumentation. Let me restate your question:

"Tell me one drug that has a known risk of death that, in-line with the article, is used to treat addiction that's approved by the FDA."

Methadone.
Yeah I think his insights still apply, though. The difference between a FIVR part and other parts might be significant, and since the CPU has to wait for the VR to settle it might not be appropriate to ascribe state transition latency entirely to the CPU generation. It’s really the whole platform.

If only retail stores had websites like Craigslist! Just last night I was in one trying to do a simple search for a fairly common item (on my phone). After waiting between 20 seconds to a minute for search results to return, then trying to click the "search in store inventory" checkbox 12 times (sometimes because I wasn't sure the tap had registered, sometimes because I thought the page hadn't finished loading before I tapped it, etc), I finally just gave up after 5 or 10 minutes of struggling with it.

I had a decent signal (3 or 4 bars, I believe -- about as good as I ever expect to get in a store), but the web pages on so-called "modern" websites are so bloated and inefficient, sometimes it's a miracle to get anything done on a normal residential home internet service, let alone on a phone.

And before someone suggests it, NO, I am NOT going to install a stinking app from every store I visit (not that they'd be any better, most of the one's I've seen I would describe as "barely functional -- sometimes").

It would be interesting to know how many sales stores have lost because a customer was trying to search for something in their store via their website, but the experience was so miserable they just gave up.
They did. This runs genscript's high throughput DNA synthesis platform. They actively sell the result as their oligo pool product.
> In modern western world, any business basically becomes a local business wherever the CEO/shareholder sit usually

No that's not how it works.

A corporation is a legal person operating from the place where it's incorporated and ruled by the law in the place where it's incorporated. The western world (and plenty of countries outside it) has laws and/or trade agreements that allow foreign corporations to operate within their borders in a (not so) limited way. It's true that in some (many) cases it's necessary to create a local subsidiary for the US corporation, but it's not triggered just by the founder/shareholder (much less a CEO) sitting/working from there. Usually - and especially in the EU-US case - even having employees there is _not_ enough to necessitate a local subsidiary, but it makes everything about it very much easier.

The only way to move money from a corporation to shareholders (excluding cases where a shareholder is also an employee) is via dividends. These dividends are your personal income and thus taxed by the rules of your tax residence (that's a technical term in EU and outside) - the usual rule is "where you sit for half of the calendar year plus one day". Ask your local tax authority about it and they will hand out a guide, owning foreign corporations is a very normal arrangement.

An alternative to dividends is keeping the money inside the corporation and selling your stake. Again, that's your personal income - you are the owner and you sold it to another person - and it's taxed by the rules for this kind of income where your tax residence is.

Two questions:

1. Does Rust have an idiomatic way of providing a similar data structure that also limits allocations and maintains cache-friendliness?

2. How pervasive are these intrusive linked lists in the kernel code, especially in boundaries between major systems? Would it be possible to create seams in the kernel code that pass structures with idiomatic Rust equivalents, then use those as a guide to moving Rust into the kernel without contorting it to work with C data structures that are hard to represent?

That miniature Aspen system is quite amazing. I want one although I have no need for it at all.
To be fair, it rated well on most other aspects as I recall.

I found a review by Tom's Hardware where it barely passed the minimum[1]. It's not unreasonable small differences between PSU units and measurement equipment leading to it just failing for some other reviewer.

To be fair, I recall it was rated well in other categories, and the Tom's Hardware review does as well.

> Therefore, block producers and searchers require complex systems similar to those of a sophisticated trading house, like Alameda Research or Jump for example. This can therefore result in significant centralisation pressures for block producers, with smaller less sophisticated block producers being unable to compete.

I want to make sure I have this straight. The "therefore" in this paragraph refers to how miners "require" a way to front-run orders, bets, and other transactions made on the network lest they fall behind their peers in the mining arms race. The article calls this "Miner Extractable Value" or MEV.

So the centralization pressure from Flashbot comes from miners front-running "DeFi" (decentralized finance) players.

> The Flashbots system is integrated into the current Proof of Work (PoW) mining system on Ethereum. When the Merge happens and PoW mining is switched off, Flashbots adoption will reset to zero again. In order to mitigate against the MEV problem a new Flashbots infrastructure will need to be built up and staking agents will need to adopt this new system. This was not in the ETH 2.0 roadmap and may be an additional complication related to the upgrade to ETH 2.0.

This part is not as clear. How does the MEV landscape change in post-merge Ethereum?
Invision was awful, but I believe sone of those tools were there. Sketch I'm not sure, again I was just using it for hobby stuff. It's a decent enough svg groahics editor, but did seem a little clunky. I think the features you mention are pretty important.

Ask HN: I'm considering taking a break from startups to join big tech
I know this decision may not be popular around here, but I think the quality of advice that I'll get is good, so I'm going to ask for it. I'm a very talented programmer, started coding in 5th grade, and worked at top research teams at Facebook + Google immediately out of college. However, a combination of bad projects + not so great management made take the plunge to pursue my dream - startups. After around 3 years of trying different ideas (went through maybe 5+ different co-founding teams, applied to YC in the past, etc.) + last year finally getting traction on a project, I'm starting to feel not so happy with my current route. I've done consulting in between here or there to pay the bills, but now my savings is literally starting to reach empty and I just hit 27 years old with no girlfriend/dating life. I have some friends that somehow are just able to keep pushing through and not giving up, but I feel like that's not me at this moment. Any suggestions/thoughts?

Why are Peltier coolers still so far below their theoretical efficiency?
Yep, used a lot of goto's writing framework software that worked with CoreFoundation on Mac OS. We used it a lot in early Mac Toolbox framework code as well.

Often within the scope of a function we would need to allocate/create dictionaries, arrays, other objects requiring disposal. MacOS's CoreFoundation API often returned NULL when creation (or insertion, etc.) failed. The sane thing to do when you got an unexpected NULL was to "bail" from the function. But rather than return immediately, there was clean up code at the bottom of the function — code like "if stackDict != NULL {CFRelease(stackDict);}". So we often added a label (called typically "bail") just before the clean up code and would "goto bail".

These were the days before garbage collection....
What is your test to determine whether a nation has reached the level of "flawed democracy?"

Is the US one?

I mean even anarchism could be considered 'flawed democracy.' The power is theoretically at the individual level, with the population of each government split down to a democracy of size '1' and the individual voting how to dictate his/her own life, although of course even that is flawed.

Then again, if you frame it as "flawed democracy" vs "everything worse than that" then almost by definition flawed democracy is going to win...

As I read somewhere recently:

At 20, you worry about what others think about yourself.

At 40, you don’t care what others think about yourself.

At 60, you realize that nobody was thinking about yourself anyway.

Agreed. I also didn't see any useful connection as to how the information that the Real Estate Acquisition Specialists (REAS) have would actually generate more understanding of food access between different communities. Yes, the REAS for Stamford, CT is going to know a lot about access in Stamford, but almost nothing about access in Detroit, MI. Since the goal is to compare access across the country, using as-the-crow-flies data is preferred because it's universal and obtainable by a small research lab. The alternative is what, to interview a REAS from each of the 100 largest cities in the US, somehow convert their personal anecdotal knowledge into quantified data, and then use that to better understand access?

The interrupts are whatever, but the linux scheduler can do some really strange things with thrashing cpu frequencies, all while moving from core to core. So if I have a program running a core at 100%, the scheduler decides to move it to another core, meaning context switching, cache misses, interrupts, frequency scaling, etc. It adds up!

>Under that logic, the US was over thrown back in 2000 when the supreme court decided the outcome of an election.

That's a really reductive (and, in my view, incorrect) take on the issues in Florida in 2000. It was a hot mess, and I think (IANAL, so I may well be talking out of my ass) the Supreme Court should have kicked this back to the Florida courts, but all such activity was within the bounds of the US Constitution.

The absence of the Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore, at least AFAIK, wouldn't have changed the outcome of the election.

I'd be interested to know what logical steps lead from what I wrote to "Bush v. Gore overthrew the US government."

Would you mind sharing that line of reasoning? Because It's not at all clear to me how you got from point a to point b. Thanks!

N.B.: I did not vote for George W. Bush in 2000 (or 2004, for that matter)

Given that 0.5—1% of the US population is incarcerated[1], and that getting a prison sentence is far from the only way to become a person of interest, it is quite reasonable to say that chances of getting some unwanted attention from various government and government-adjacent institutions are too damn high to ignore it.

It wasn't written by Vitalik. I don't think anyone praises the original Bitcoin paper because of the quality of its prose, but because it introduced the world to an incredibly innovative idea and did so in such a simple and straight forward way it left many people wondering what they never thought of such a thing before.

This isn't quite what it says it is. This is also pre-merge.

Mining pools, not miners, connected to the flashbots mempool to pick up their transactions. There can be many mempools and mempools don't need to talk to each other. It was in the benefit for the miners for pools to do this (ie: their customers), so all the big ones did it.

By doing so, miners would earn extra value (aka: MEV) from these transactions because flashbots would bundle them up and order them. If you wanted to be at the top of the list with your transactions, you'd pay a bit more.

The really centralized bit of this is that flashbots actually can be turned on/off [0], which I find rather inexcusable.

C9 RET is still burned into my brain for that very reason.
A private organization should be able to do what they like, provided they have not acquired enough market power to be acting in the role of a public utility. As a public utility, they should be obliged to follow procedures that offer due process.

Does that mean they cannot "exclude those who they feel abuse their platform"? That is a tendentious, disingenuous question.

Does that mean they should be obliged to have a legitimate justification for such action, and offer an avenue to challenge it? Yes.

Does it mean the list of justifications should be subject to public review? Yes.

Does it mean that permanent bans for trivial, correctable reasons should not meet the standards of such public review? Yes.

Prevent who from doing these abuses? I only seem to have these types of problems with the government. I have been illegally towed before. I got a letter from the IRS a few months back saying I owe another $1000 of taxes for reasons I can't understand. The letter says call a phone number if you don't understand. I have called it at least 50 times and it always gives me a recording that they can't take my call now. I will probably just have to pay. Only the government can do this to me because they are the only organization I have to obey.
