Mining BTC on a GPU isn't profitable.

You need a dedicated ASIC chip that is far more efficient at the task than a GPU if you want to hope turning a profit mining Bitcoin.

Something like this:

As far as I have been able to determine, literally 100% of the rental listings in Berkeley, CA on Craigslist are fake. They take MLS descriptions and photos of properties and repost those on CL as rentals with unrealistically low prices. The postings are identity theft scams. They want you to "apply" to rent these properties that don't exist.

The real problem for me is that the elected officials and even sometimes professional staff of the city will point to Craigslist as inventory of low-priced housing, but it's totally fake so their impression is inaccurate.
> the benefits just so outweigh the potential costs

The reader is left to assume these are emotional benefits, is that accurate?
Eh, you're paying a premium to eat out, so it's weird to go out and to treat it like eating at home. The lower-end the food (i.e. the lower the premium) the less weird it seems. Very few people feel self-conscious eating alone at McDonald's.

Alone, you're just paying $9 for a $2 beer.
I used to not like eating out alone...then I had kids. Now I think its great when I have the chance.
If you liquidate your portfolio you're going to have to recognize (pay tax on) capital gains.
That works for me, if there is competent quality control.

I give my time to folks in my neighborhood who are food-insecure, and help those who can't or won't drive to fix their bikes so they can still get around to their jobs, doctor's appointments, grocery runs, etc. Why do you ask that question when you have nothing to show in kind?

Further, why do you imply that participating in the market contributes to "good"?

Your reliance on a false dichotomy to make your point shows everything about how little you care about the actual problems we face as a society, if you can only come up with such unimaginative and ultimately selfish approaches.

I don't understand why people snap back like you have, when you have literally nothing to stand for.
> The platforms do it because of armies of miserable people online looking for an outlet to their outrage.

I find this funny because I initially assumed you were talking about the seemingly infinite number of people posting the "straddle the line like it's a Hitachi wand" flamebait that typically gets axed. There's no way to make everyone happy, but I think there's a chance we can broadly agree that there's very little harm done by being overzealous when it comes to using the banhammer on outrage porn. I mean HN basically does the same thing but on a smaller scale.
I use these frameworks as well, and generally when I’m scouting for libraries I make sure they work well with the platform. A good form validation for react, angular or vue will most likely use the constraint validation API under the hood, if they aren’t, then they probably provide most of the same features (or maybe it isn’t such a good library).

Rolling your own isn’t too hard either. In my job I rolled my own useValidation() for vue in less then 150 lines of TypeScript

If you need the actual invalid value for some reason (which is really rare IMO) you might have a point, but otherwise <input type=number> is a perfectly cromulent element.
Bitcoin mining all switched over to custom ASICs long ago, and is barely profitable even on that hardware. The GPUs that were used for Ethereum mining can't compete.

Oh wow the price cap must be infuriating during the mining boom.
I believe what he said was that he can move a lot faster on things than his engineers. As the founder of a company I'm sympathetic. No one could ever understand the product as well as me, at this point, because I built almost all of the critical code (this is less and less the case, thankfully, and I'm very happy to say that there are now solid chunks of code where I am NOT the authority on code). That's not "they're worse engineers", they definitely aren't lol. But if you've spent years of your time on a codebase it's going to take years for anyone to be as quick to fix a bug.

I think this is sort of obvious. Imagine fixing a bug in your own personal project, compare that to fixing a bug in someone else's project. You can probably see the error and guess what the bug is, accurately, if it's your project. With someone else's code you're going to have to reverse engineer the system first.

I wish you great luck on your journey! I did this when I was 42 - studied for a degree part-time, wrote some books, ran out of money and did some minimum wage jobs, etc - and it was a scary-yet-exhilarating adventure which, thankfully, ended well when I finally landed a full-time job developing websites.
TinyBase v2.0: reactive data store for local-first apps
thanks, it's a really fun project! I launched it on HN in April 2021 :)

All the topics are hooked into Wikidata on the ML side, eventually I want to build knowledge graphs using the Wikidata info and play with historical timelines etc and see what I can do...

I am working on adding individual book pages and then genres and age group data is next.
Why the hell would anybody sane, especially with all knowledge average HN user has about government overreach and greed, hacks, 0days, bugs etc. ever put such a critical item as banking app on their phone?

Apple vs Android is irrelevant in this, there is no truly safe mainstream phone in 2022, period. Are people really that lazy?

I do manage quite a few financial things but for none of those phone apps is crucial and I use exactly 0 of them. There is ebanking login app, but on its own its useless, another 3 factors are required for login. There is always desktop browser variant for everything, with firefox with ublock origin and few other plugins making internet a bit more as it was intended to be.

So yes US government can hack my phone if they havent already, they will see what kind of photography and travelling I do, which family members I write to, and some online shopping history. Thats it.

Phones are not secure and probably never will be for anything more. Anybody telling you otherwise is either dangerously clueless or worse

Ask HN: Machine Vision Problem?
This is actually for a good cause (a small food bank).

I talk to a gleaner at the Safeway almost every week. He has a problem that someone must have solved already, at least in pieces, and it's way too hard for their resources:

They have a need to weigh their food, but weighing each individual item is much too much trouble. So they'd like to estimate it from a photo. For example, if they filled up a palette with all drinks, it'd be 1,600 pounds, which is too much, but bread is much lighter. You get the idea.

So it's basically a machine vision problem for packages, where the packages can be grouped into one of a small number of categories. They can give a weight range for each category.

This is not an organization with money to spend, so it needs to be a free app, which I can probably customize for them if it's not too much work.
The problem isn't that it won't work, it's the exposed live prongs.
This isn't the first time this company has been breached. I'd stay far away from this company. If you really need a centralized password repo, use 1password.

There was a TV commercial some time back. It was from a fast food place, acknowledging that the best hamburgers were found at "sit-down" restaurants, not fast food places, and they said how they hoped to change that reality.

I think this is half correct. They do it to prevent the angry mob from reaching out to advertisers. I don't think they care about angry mobs, themselves.
I'm fairly sure that Bitcoin mining just isn't as profitable to mine with a GPU -- it's more cost-effective to use an ASIC designed for that purpose.

Thanks for sharing. That's a rough situation, and I hope you can get past it somehow. I have always regarded a meal out alone as a wonderful thing, or at least until I got too fat to make that a good life choice. I used it as an ideal time to study, and studying helped me be a success. Later it was doubly enjoyable: I could study, and I knew that had helped me move forward in life. For that reason I am just as happy to be at Del Taco or McDonald's as a fine dining establishment. Actually more happy b/c no wait staff to interrupt.
People got BASIC to run in very tiny machines such as the 4K TRS-80 Color Computer, the 1K Sinclar ZX80.

If you added a bit more RAM than that you had more of a choice, for instance a 16K Color Computer could run

https://www.cocopedia.com/wiki/index.php/EDTASM%2B

editing programs with a text editor, saving them on cassette tapes, assembling them, etc. In the same amount of RAM you could have fit a FORTH implementation and with a disk system you could have an experience similar to BASIC based around editing individual disk blocks. With 64k of RAM I would run a C compiler on that color computer and people did the same with CP/M.

So far as mainframes at first they didn't have text editors, instead you would put together a deck of punched cards and submit that to the FORTRAN compiler which would output the object code to another deck of punched cards.

It wasn't unusual for people in the 1980s to use BASIC preprocessors that would read a text file, append line numbers, and let you use structured loops, and GOTOs with named labels. I read about

https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/lang/other/ratbas/1982/

and wrote one for my TRS-80 Coco. It was the sort of thing you could write in BASIC without a lot of understanding about how to write compilers.

The Capisco was the last chair I had before diving into this and it actually worked pretty well. I mostly alternated legs, with one standing while the other was draped on the chair. The only drawback was the friction of repositioning and I think the trick is to minimize friction so frequent movement is easy.
OK, but they will still need a CEO.
NaN boxing sounds like it would have very significant pointer provenance issues. CHERI would also stick its nose up at it.

The tagged pointer type has the advantage of holding real pointers, meaning that any machine[0] that sticks extra information onto its pointers transparently just works. And reading the int half of the union to check if the pointer is valid should always be sound, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Architectures that don't enforce alignment are also probably not the sort of thing we care about running on, and I doubt there's a way for an optimizer to legally screw over programs that depend on pointer alignment being there on architectures where it has to be there.

But, then again, that's what we said about int-to-pointer casts...

[0] Real or virtual. Remember that when you compile your program with an optimizing compiler or JIT, it is executing on two architectures:

1. The compiler's expression/AST interpreter, which enforces ISO C undefined behavior rules

2. The target architecture, where those undefined behaviors become merely unspecified.
I can so relate :). I left my position as a principal engineer at a FAANG/MAAMA/etc. company in 2020 with a general direction to try to make a difference in the education space. It has been maddening trying to live up to my own expectations.

Good luck!

The article keeps using the phrase "likely to be accessed by minors". I'm hard pressed to think of things that aren't likely to be accessed by minors other than websites for medical complaints, life insurance, or Facebook.
Jawn is useful for readability, but also provides an easy performance benefit too. Iterators for `std::unordered_map` will have the proper `const` values and the compiler won’t need to do any implicit conversions.
I also hate eating out alone and try to avoid it if I can.

I've always ate out with my parents, friends or even strangers (e.g. sitting next to a stranger at the university's cantine and making small talk).

Curiously I've never realised I hated it until I had to eat out alone for the first time, very late in life. I was doing a job interview in another city, involving an overnight stay and couldn't find a take away, for some reason.

I wandered into a nice, cozy, dimly lit restaurant, the kind you would go on a typical date or romantic evening, I suppose. I felt really awkward and anxious by being alone. Curious thing.
In the previous article, we covered the basics of JWT and how it works internally, and a few possibilities we can implement with them. We also got into how we should send tokens and how to validate them in back-end services.
At my local watering hole I pretty consistently order a makers mark on the rocks. To the point where they’ll anticipate my order and either have it ready for me or it’ll be the first question they ask.

Every once in awhile though I’ll mix it up and get similar reactions.
Two people use the same amount of table and significantly less than twice the waitstaff attention as compared to a single person. Singles cost more to serve.

I am reading this story about 6 hours after it was posted here.

Immediately after reading I went to amazon.com and search "male to male e" at which point I was provided several autocompletes:

- male to male extension cord 3 prong
- male to male extension cord adapter
- male to male extension cord 10 ft
- male to male extension cord black

and so on. BUT when I actually completed the search ("male to male extension cord 3 prong", the first autocomplete for me), I did not get any actual "suicide cords" in the results.

Thus I am forced to conclude that Amazon reacted in real time to this story. Curious if people in other areas are seeing the same thing?
Guess I might as well RMA my 3090 FTW 3 before the gig is up.

Very sad to see this announcement, some of my happiest nerd years (not spend blowing stuff up with friends in my backyard) in highschool were building PC's trading up EVGA GPU's.

RIP EVGA - I hope PNY picks up the slack, ASUS boards have only really been trouble for me.
I've been using variations of "jawn" or "jawns" as my username for 20+ years.

It's a word that has endured surprisingly well, as slang goes. And it's a conspicuously egalitarian term. You'll find it used in both blue-collar and white-collar settings, and across racial lines. There's very little tribal attachment. Nobody cares if you appropriate it. The general sentiment is the more jawn users, the better.

But unfortunately, I'm afraid it may have jumped the shark when the "Jawn Morgan" billboards started appearing:

Was 100% true years ago. Now it's less so.

With Amazon, as with local retail, there are people who are willing to pay more simply for the convenience. Elasticity varies by category and item, of course, but people would be surprised just how many manufactures do undercut retailers and distributors that they sell to.

Part of this is that retail has tried to maintain its >50% margin for items that it doesn't even sell in store anymore. Manufactures know this and effectively cut their discount by selling an item $10 themselves, while only giving the retailer 40% discount. Retail still wants their >50% margin, so they will sell that same item for $11 both online and at B&M. In many cases this actually works out well for everyone. You would think that everyone would just buy direct and save a dollar, but you'd be surprised how many people want the convenience or simply have loyalty to a retailer for some reason.
> enforce travel bans (starting at 5 years) and issue large fines.

This only affects future travel and is subject to court oversight. You cannot be refused entry as a US citizen. You can however find that just on the other side of the border you'll be sitting in a detention holding cell.

> Failure to grant access to your digital device may result in the detention of that device under section 101 of the Customs Act, or seizure of the device under subsection 140 (1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Yes, they have broad powers of search and seizure for anything physically in your possession when you cross the border. You MUST physically turn over the device, you have no legal recourse. You do not have to give them the password or unlock it for them (short of a court order compelling you to do so). They can absolutely just take your phone and laptop and essentially never give it back if it's considered evidence in an ongoing investigation. In practice, they generally return them when you are released, and if they hold them longer are required to return them within 30 days if it's not part of an ongoing investigation.

If you are traveling internationally and want to protect your rights and your privacy, it's a good idea to have a lot of money so you can afford possible job loss due to detention, to pay for attorneys, and to buy new electronics if/when they are seized. This is kind of implied and somewhat explicitly said in my original comment.

If the restaurant has one, sitting at the bar is a pretty solid way to strike up conversations. There's a whole laundry list of mundane conversations starters, like "Whatchya drinking?" (followed by an offer to buy a round, often), or "Know how the X is?" etc.

Or restaurants with bench seating (popular amongst pizzerias and German restaurants around here), exchanging a few pleasantries with people sitting next to you sometimes starts a full conversation.
Funny. My books do have a lot of dialog, and when I was considering narrating them myself, I realized that it's not as easy as it looks. People do have to do the voices. A good narrator is used to it.

When you audition narrators on ACX, you provide a two-minute sample for them to read. I picked one with all three of the major characters, male and female, to hear how he did it. My guy is good.

This is a shame. While I haven't bought a new GPU in some time, I've been using EVGA since my 7800GT. They've always had excellent customer service and RMAs were painless and quite often they'd even send you an upgraded card. One of my 780 Tis broke and I received a new GTX 980. I also had to RMA my 7800GT and received an 8800GT. Their upgrade program is also quite generous, though I personally have never taken advantage of it.

I'm not sure that it'll affect me as I don't know the next time I'll consider building a gaming pc (if ever again) but it still saddens me that one of the "good ones" is exiting the business. I do hope they consider supporting AMD cards in the future, which I find easier to support as a consumer than Nvidia.
Out of curiosity, I see that opening a PR triggers an automatic branch build, when the code is merge into master is your build process repeated?

If not, which is what the diagram implies, how do you handle two branches with two PRs trying to get merged in, since there is a chance that they will create conflicts with each other. Do you force branch tests sequentially?
BMW is such a disappointment. Not just overpriced but also low quality. They turboed engines to a point where turbines are now consumables given how often they break, not to mention flakey electronics. Hopefully the ev revolution will make bmw, merc and vw a thing of the past.
I find this relatable as someone who's somewhat introverted, but socially capable. For years, I denied that I had any form of social anxiety - but even in my late twenties when for better or for worse (maybe I'm letting myself go?) I've decided to stop care about being cool - the fear that I'll say something stupid or sound / look like a creep keeps me generally away from dining alone.

However, this was really only at places where mostly groups of friends / couples would dine. I've dated before, but sitting alone in a cool cozy place only seeing couples / friends having a good time just makes me feel like a robot.
