I wonder how canned these queries are.

It’s like back in the 80s if you had asked a computer to “show me some culture” and up popped a painting by Da Vinci, that might have fooled people into believing the computer was cultured or at least would make you cultured.

In this case the capabilities of the AI are much more dynamic, and the ability to wrap the plants inside a light bulb is pretty neat, but that is basically a photoshop script. It’s barely intelligence.

Most people don’t know what intelligence is. They get easily fooled by demos.

The history of religion points to an opposite problem. There a superintelligence (God) who had a galaxy a worth of super intelligent beings (angels) could not convince the humanity he created to establish the proper relationship with him.

And what’s worse, people were just as happy believing in fake myths (such as the Egyptian, Aryan or Mesopotamian gods) and truly didn’t care if they were real or not.

Humans haven’t changed much. Some people will willingly believe AI is intelligent even if it’s not. Even if it produces nothing but comic book wisdom and fake superheroes, eventually they will believe that world is real too…in the metaversal sense. Humanity’s ability to deceive itself is infinite.
Ouch, looks like for most cards even if energy was free a miner would be looking at ~1000 days to break even. Hopefully this really does more or less end GPU mining.
Maybe. The CEO told GN their margins were negative for high end GPUs. I dunno if the GPU division is worth enough to make up for losing control over the EVGA brand because it's shared by 2 companies.
This would send my anxiety skyrocketing to be honest.

Would rather just have them clear the second place - which makes me wonder if the difference is tables that are set before you seat vs tables that are empty before you sit down.
Amazon typically only enforces this when you are using Amazon FBA to fulfill from your own website.
You watch Netflix in a restaurant?
Iirc, the movie's official website got hacked, saying it was a terrible movie and to go see "The Net" instead. Also, the movie's website got in to some hot water for hosting some kind of hacking information on it.
The author addresses this in the first sentence:

> When I went to college I discovered that I harbored a serious aversion to eating alone in public.

So the answer to this remark:

> It can also be as simple as eating, seated in a restaurant, by yourself. Why make it more complicated or ritual-worthy than that?

is that "because it's not simple for them".
> because the single, viable, alternate option is even more despicable

these 2 lies continue to crack me up.

Lets look at it from the other perspective. There are people trying to provide alternative options. They are not winning because you are not voting for them. There is no excuse, there is no one to point to, it is your vote and you cast it. What others do should have no influence.

If all the voters really cant make their own decisions, if they really cant think for themselves: Then you would provide a major example by doing your own thinking and making your own choices. They would all follow like the sheep they are portrayed as by these lies.

if non of that makes sense, maybe those ignorant enough to provide alternative options deserve your support in their futile effort? it seems the honorable thing to do
Same thing.
Http has no keep alive feature, you don't send http keep alive requests, if http 1.1 asks for keepalives it's a tcp thing.
> Russian being the bad guy doesn't make conflict inevitable. And if it does, then we're probably just buying time until full scale nuclear war within the next century and none of this actually matters.

One of the things that are crystal clear thanks to this war is that Russian army is in a deplorable state and while a few of their nuclear warheads still probably work, Russia can not be considered a threat in a conventional war except against a state like Azerbaijan.
I think that most of the objection is that with HTTP/1.1 you can type "telnet example.com 80" and type out an HTTP request and read the reply. I see similar arguments about why JSON is better than protocol buffers. All the necessary keys are on your keyboard. At the end of the day, I just write a tool to do these binary-exchanges for me. If I need to send a protocol buffer message to some server, I just write a program to do that. It's 3 lines of code. If I do it a lot, I check it in and write documentation. There are plenty of reusable generic mechanisms that already exist, too. curl for all of your HTTP request needs. OpenAPI to make an app that talks to your custom API.

People tend to draw the line exactly at their current level of understanding. A few years ago, people would say "SSL is only for corporations", but with Let's Encrypt, you don't see that come up anymore. They're comfortable not having keys on their keyboard that can do the TLS handshake, because they now understand the server-side and client-side tooling, and the obscurity of a binary protocol they can't type out is no longer an impediment to productivity. Soon, they'll be comfortable with HTTP/3 as well.
Are we still pretending that USA government is a distinct entity from USA's large corporations? If the banks didn't like the regulations, the regulations would change. If some random elected official didn't like how the banks operated, after the next election she would be an ex-official.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'm going to go for it anyway: isn't Bitcoin also proof-of-work? Why isn't that where ETH miners are going?
Considering it went from $1,600 or so to $300 (adjusted for split, as it is really $30), you may be a bit late for that

I watched the video. Seems like nvidia's CEO wants to go the apple route and sell everything themselves.

I do wonder about EVGA's decision. Why call gamersnexus in for an interview? It seems to me this is part of a strategy to get intel and AMD tripping over their dicks to get EVGA working on their GPUs - and get one/both of them to agree to conditions nvidia wouldn't.

I think its a smart business move if nvidia has laid their cards on the table so clearly. Reminds me of how valve went all-in on linux development when microsoft threatened their whole business with windows 10.
Buy a laptop that has a charging port. Then same advice applies.

But I would just format it.
They're being undercut by Nvidia as Nvidia rushes to clear their remaining 30-series stock. EVGA claims to be losing money on every 3080-and-higher card, and they can't compete with Nvidia's margins.
The advertising point is a red herring. Adtech companies have gotten very good at targeting exactly what content their adds will an will not appear on. When they censor it is because they do not want you to see it.
"I don't know shit about fuck."
One other thing to consider is a CLA- if you plan to accept contributions from outsiders, and you stick with AGPL+Commercial, you will want any contributors to sign a CLA that grants you the right to sell their contributions under the commercial license. This would be a hard stop for me, and others like me, to contributing to the code... but is necessary if you want to accept outside contributions while offering a commercial license option. (Another good reason not to use the AGPL, if you want to encourage community development- many commercial open source products simply forbid outside contributions of code, though, or don't care about outside contributors).
>It's not about having something to hide. It's about not liking it when people poke their noses in your business without you being a criminal. And no I don't think installing backdoors on each device "to catch the criminals more easily" is a solution at all.

As an American, I couldn't agree more.

It's been a while since I've been outside the US, but given how so many (not least of which is the US) countries are doing intrusive things with mobile devices at the border, I will most certainly back up (nandroid, which I do anyway for backups) my phone and flash a stock ROM before leaving the US.

Upon my return, I'll restore my backup and pick up where I left off.

Not because I have anything very interesting (to law "enforcement", or anyone other than me for that matter), but rather because my business is my business and no one else's.
“nobody really gives a shit about you.”

This realization helped me a lot with social anxiety. For a long time I believed that everybody was watching and judging me. This made it very hard to go out and do things. It was a relief to be able to let go of this belief.
All animals are social, bit some are more social than the other.

Clippy was not right. People's motives are more complex than Clippy had knowledge of. What people want to type is different than what autocorrect or clippy want. "Bool" and "bool" are different, yet "Word" often capitalizes "bool" anyway as an example.
It seems to me that the author is very young, and very concerned about what others think of them. Which, to be fair, is something that often fades with age. I can remember when I was in my 20s, I found eating alone to be uncomfortable.

But as I got older, I realized that I don't care at all what other people think about whether I'm eating alone or not, what I order, how fast I eat, etc etc. As long as no one is harmed, I just do what I want, and if other people don't like it, fuck 'em.

But this perspective comes with age.
Having a bunch of small packages instead of a few larger ones would be considered increasing surface area in most security software. You could do it safely but I wouldn't be evangelizing this as a sound idea.
> Blockchains are not the only way of achieving what you describe. It's just one mechanism

But you agree that there is some set of features that are only available on a Blockchain, right?

Well whatever that set of features is, that is the features that I am attempting to refer to.

So yes, if you agree that there are features that are only possible on a Blockchain, then I am correct that this set of features is only possible on a Blockchain and that is what I am talking about.

> If a game company wanted to provide the same properties

Not if I am talking about a feature that is only possible on the blockchain. So whatever featureset that you agree is only available on a blockchain that is what I am talking about.
What a bummer. My plan for this fall was to go all in on a new high-end machine with all EVGA parts once the 4090 and 13900 are available

Now I'll have to spend a ton of time trying to figure out what other brands to deal with instead. Makes me think I'll be better off with a pre-built instead of buying components this cycle

I'm curious how this can work. What you're describing sounds impossible.

You go to a restaurant: how do you have any kind off conversation beyond maybe a joke to someone in a line? My impression is that people are friendly but not interested in anything beyond pleasantries with a rando.
I'm building https://royal.io, which helps turn music royalties into an asset class people can invest in. When investors (fans, mostly) "buy" a portion of a song on our platform, they become entitled to a percent of the recurring royalty revenue stream. It's one of the few applications of crypto that I think genuinely makes sense right now, and I especially like it because crypto is not the star of the show, it's just the backend implementation detail
Moreover, the Scandinavian system locks in economic stratification much more than the American one
I love eating alone in a restaurant, either just thinking, reading a book or watching people.

I like spending time with other people.

And:

I relish spending quality time with me.

Or to put it another way: I am great company. Even for myself.
>It sounds like (this is my takeaway from GN's description, not their words) EVGA's CEO is tired of dealing with NVIDIA, wants to refocus on family, and there isn't a clear person to replace him and hesitant to sell to people who would mistreat employees/cut corners/damage brand.

So they're voluntarily choosing to go out of business..?

How does that work?
The article gives an answer to this.

> "The only coins showing profit have no market cap or liquidity. The profit is not real."

That is, the remaining PoW derived coins are not as profitable for miners, presumably not enough to cover their margins.
It's hard to run a business when you don't even know what the cost of your product is that you're imminently launching

This strongly seems like a lie. They've been in business long enough that the current relationship between them and Nvidia appeared to be successful. If it truly wasn't successful, they could have moved over to manufacturing AMD GPUs. Instead, they just dropped the business entirely.

It seems much more likely that they recognize that the five-year GPU boom is over with the ETH merge, didn't want to have to weather the coming bust cycle, and are trumping up excuses to exit the business so that their brand isn't damaged for their other products.
Functional - I'm leaning into the "analog horror" genre with some fake newsreels of things like the COVID-23 pandemic, $6 per gallon gasoline, and (of course - I live in Boston) the Red Sox losing the World Series to the Yankees.

Some kinds of film are just better with a big crowd. Comedies, often. Many horror movies. I'd say just about any Troma film is much better that way, as are many B-movies and cult classics. Even a few of the Marvel films have had a lot added to them by the theater experience, and hearing/seeing audience reactions (I'm thinking especially of Infinity War and Endgame).
If I self-host, who is getting the 9%? I don't think the site is clear on this, as I'm wondering what the point of self hosting is if the app somehow still transfers the fee to your company.
If you want the cheapest total spend, use paperspace. (I linked their price page elsewhere.) It's about $7 per month for boot drive storage, plus tens of cents per hour of uptime.

If you want the cheapest total spend where you buy your own hardware, it basically runs on any current-generation amd / nvidia / m1 card. I used a modified version of stable diffusion that works with < 10GB of DRAM on a AMD RX 6600XT. Check around before buying, obviously; I lucked out.

The modified version produces the same quality output, but has to page data in and out. It takes about 100 seconds per batch of five images. The card cost under $300, and is plugged into a ~ 10 year old Linux box. It's probably possible to go cheaper than that.
But then how could they justify hiring an inexperienced ex-google woman? (nothing wrong with being a woman, but she tried to make a celebrity out of herself, look at her cover magazine photoshoot).
> - NVIDIA limits MSRP heavily on cards so they can't do things to sell more profitable higher end cards

It's so weird to put a ceiling on card prices. Maybe this was a measure due to the crypto-induced GPU demand?
I am working on trainable morphogenic functions for reaction-diffusion proceses. I.e., using Pytorch, the parameters of a neural net representing the reaction part are optimized to so the diffusion process converges in a complex, predefined structure.
This is only a pet project, but I am fascinated by this because I imagine that in the future this could be used to design synthetic biological structures. All that will be needed is a compiler that translate the function to DNA...
This is, by far, the most confusing thing to happen in the industry in quite a while.

Per the video: Nvidia represents 80% of EVGA's revenue. EVGA isn't planning to expand their product lines. They're "financially sound", staying in business, and not planning to sell the company. EVGA's view is that Nvidia has been disrespectful as a board partner, making it "difficult if not impossible" to be profitable.

This is just incomprehensible through any lens except that most of EVGA's statements are lies or half-lies and they're not actually financially sound.

They're a company that has tried, several times, to expand into other market segments; motherboard & power supplies being the two biggest ones. These never took off quite like graphics cards, but a big reason feels like they never invested enough into those areas.

Really sounds like, hard financial straits, not enough R&D, and an aging CEO who just wants to retire. I wonder if they ever reached out to a company like Corsair as an acquisition?

Sorry folks for not contributing to this thread earlier - didn't realise this popped up on HN while I was sleeping! I'm Jeremy, and I'll be running this course. Lemme know if you've got any questions about it, or anything related to the topic of DL, stable diffusion, etc.
You know that awful practice where instead of breaking up with someone, you just act horrible until they break up with you?

That’s “managing out”.
The govt outsources to private parties that which is illegal for it to do directly. Some Italian dude coined a term for this sort of merger of corporate and government power in the early 20th century....
I have a favourite restaurant I go to regularly, alone. The waiters and cooks there know me, as I've been going there for years now. I also have a fairly stable taste, so for some time I've been seeing and overhearing them making bets upon my arrival about what and in what quantity I will order, before I actually make the order. Rather than being embarrassed about it, I'm amused and always want to smile when I notice this happening. People noticing your personal quirks is really not that bad.
I'm a bit confused by you using NIMBY and YIMBY interchangeably here, but most of the YIMBY activists I know come from people who got into housing policy because they couldn't afford to live in SF. They're all renters, and most come from a lefty political background.

Fundraising events are pretty common in this kind of environment: if it was landlord driven, i'd imagine the tickets would be more in the thousands, as that's common for traditional for party political fundraisers in US cities, where you are paying for access. I'd compare it to, say, the Harvey Milk Club Gayla, whose prices you can see here: https://www.milkclub.org/gayla
Can't see where OP phrased it that way. What I read was "Eating out alone really hurts." This person was expressing feelings, not passing judgment.

Is sharing one's feelings really a bad thing?

> producing hundreds of thousands stable diffusion pics of the same scene

Why are you twisting reality? People don't generate hundreds of thousands of stable diffusion pics of the same scene. Instead they generate dozens to hundreds of images carefully tweaking the prompt and the starter image.
My guilty pleasure. Re-watching it every 4-5 years. Still turning on the soundtrack on repeat for pulling an all-night coding session.
I suppose it varies. But DAs have wide discretion--strictly speaking, absolute discretion--to abstain from prosecution, and in San Francisco the DA is an elected position, which is common nationwide. (SF also has an elected public defender office, which is extremely rare.) Moreover, AFAIU DAs have some supervisory authority over the police, by law (e.g. investigating misconduct) but mostly by the fact that it behooves the police to have good relations with the DA (and vice-versa). So police aren't in the habit of enforcing specific laws or making arrests that the DA is unlikely to prosecute. And unlike many other cities, the SF DA's office is not very deferential to police department demands--e.g. how to expend their resources to best improve public safety in their opinion--which is often cited as a major reason for supposedly exceptionally low morale among SF police officers.

SF in particular also has a Police Commission, which has direct supervisory authority over the police department, including setting and enforcing policy. Four SF Police Commissioners are nominated by the Mayor, and three by the Board of Supervisors; all must be ratified by the Board of Supervisors. Usually a Police Chief, especially outside major cities, is the top such authority, though the SF Police Chief still has plenty of discretion, and is still appointed by and answers directly to the Mayor.

So in SF both the citizenry via the elected DA, and city politicians via their appointments, control policy regarding if, when, and how criminal laws are enforced. And those are the avenues by which SF has already circumscribed and muted drug laws otherwise beyond the city's control. So the mechanisms are in place, not to mention the actual policies; thus why I called the bill theater. Strictly speaking, though, it has some substance in the sense that it prevents the DA, Police Commission, Mayor, or Police Chief from rolling back existing enforcement restrictions, to the extent they could do so independently.
I think your statement is exactly why logging should have been turned on, at least for 1 of the benchmarks. If it's a system problem then it's a problem that both tools need to deal with.

If one of them can do 100,000 requests per second but the other can do 80,000 requests per second but you're both capped at 30,000 requests per second because of system level limitations then you could make a strong case that both products perform equally in the end.
This is crazy, but I don't blame them. I've heard that Nvidia really takes advantage of its partners.
I was thinking the same thing. Seems to function pretty much the same way.
But PSUs make 300% more profit.
Our company uses Asana for tracking projects and their dependencies on a high level. However, for tracking programming projects in more detail we are using Linear. It is a pain to keep due dates, assignees, project status etc in sync if you need to do that manually. So I decided to develop a little bridge that syncs both platforms automatically. Once finished and fully tested I am going to open source it. Maybe someone out there has the same problem :)

I wonder if keeping their GPUs mining until the last minute ended up making those miners more money than selling them when the price of GPUs was still high would have.

Far-right political parties only got ~2% of the votes in elections. Not enough for even a single seat in Parliament.

If there still are any Nazis in Ukraine, their influence is much smaller than the far-right factions in Poland or France.
