The tax code is too complex. I've consulted professional tax accountants three times over the last decade. Professionals don't understand it either.

The first one was an oaf in Los Angeles that charged me $500 to redo a back-of-the-envelope calculation I had already done.

The second one was an older lady in Silicon Valley. You would think she would have known how ISOs work, but she messed up the calculations anyway. There were no penalties, but she felt bad enough that she filed my taxes for free. She got cancer and retired 6 months later.

The third was a friend that prepares taxes for billionaires. His retainer is something like $15K per year. His software's calculations disagreed with my homemade spreadsheet by $40K. In April my spreadsheet ended up within a few thousand of TurboTax. He's still kicking himself over that...
> He didn't say that, but he acted like that, he communicated it with his actions.

couldn't it be something else that is causing grief between the two?
Ask HN: About to have a child, completely burnt out at my job, what do I do?
Hello HN, I just learned that we are going to have a baby, but I'm just so burnt out at my job. I can barely afford my health insurance, and now we are looking at adding a dependent, there's just no way. I've been here since 2012, and I've never felt like I wasn't just about to be fired.

And this baby is going to be here, like, imminently. It's always been my dream to be a dad, and now I realize how laughably unprepared I am to be bringing somebody into this world. I can barely do my job, and now, it's so, so serious. I can't quit my job, I can't take time to look for another job, I can't _do_ my job.

When it was just "me" in the world, I could afford to be cavalier and take chances, but now I feel completely dependent on a group of people that demonstrably DNGASFF about me.

I'm not a fast talker, my resume looks like shit, the only thing I know how to do is program, and we're about to have a baby. What do I do?

The point of deadlines isn't to improve developer performance at all, though. The point is to allow planning for all of the non-dev parts of releasing software: marketing, etc.

Deadlines aren't inherently evil. They're necessary. Abusing deadlines by setting them unrealistically, or by using them to try to goose production speed, is evil.
If that is what they meant, that's not a good idea.

Choice of h dictates precision (less bias than doing it purely in the real domain, but still .. a nontrivial choice). And also requires your functions to be analytical - which many aren't.

Whereas autodiff is precise .
Nvidia has been using famous Mathematicians and Scientists for their card architecture for a long time (Kepler, Pascal, etc)

Even whole companies are named after famous people that have nothing to do with the company (Tesla, Faraday Future, etc)
Broadly, I agree. I don't think removing a seminal artist like Crumb from a curriculum because some students are offended is at all good or appropriate.

However, when you read into the Gloeckner case it seems like the students weren't the only ones acting insufferable. The thing is if you're going to be teaching Crumb in an academic environment you have to be able to speak to the more challenging aspects of his work on an intellectual level. If even half of the allegations were true, Gloeckner wasn't justifying her curriculum academically, and she also wasn't behaving appropriately in and out of class for her position.

I can disapprove of Snowden in general, and also see that he has a point in this article. The article is not political. Both Republicans and Democrats are equally blamed but the photo he chose is of the sitting president, a Democrat. The only problem I have with the article is our current internal politics work against reform and he did not address this, nor did he suggest any specific reforms he would recommend. For someone with such a decent understanding of the CIA, why didn't he? Does he just like to set fires and watch them burn?
ah ok. Thanks, I didn't realize they used (deceased) famous people for all their architectures
"IS AVAILABLE". Teaching in Russian is also available in Ukraine. The problem that law is solving is that Ukrainian isn't available everywhere(!). It's not about optional courses, it's minimal standards. Nobody is preventing schools from teaching russian (as a subject). But Ukrainian is the state language. Are you saying that minimal standards in Ukraine should be education in russian at the cost of ukrainian?
This still sometimes happens on iOS Safari. I don’t know what is different about the pages where it happens, but it’s annoying.
Really cool project for a retired engineer to do.

Kind of reminds me of the "Notebooks" concept that Jupyter and others use (I dipped my toes in it, not an expert).

Would be nice if he could abstract the calculators to a list/hierarchy of calculations performed, then be able to "open" limitless additional calculators as desired and swipe between 'em.

Being able to see a hierarchy of calculations and say, go back to a parent one and modify the value or part of the calculation itself and have child ones update would be super cool.
100% this.

I don't mind status meetings but call them what they are: a status meeting. It is not a standup.

Standups were about alignment and movement so you didn't get blocked trying to communicate through a broker like your manager.

They are completely abused and probably always will be.
> It's simply to facilitate the reader's understanding of the logical structure

I completely agree. You can present the material in reader order, not program order.
I'm also a TL (which makes me a teaspoon here in Germany, which I like more than the tech lead title). I understand how the development can be faster with Svelte, but ecosystem argument really hits home. You'd get to 80% with Svelte perhaps much faster than React, but that missing library for, say, drag-and-drop makes that last 20% itself plus "hey let's develop our own drag-and-drop library in-house which should be easy and opinionated and maybe it gets open-sourced" (it will be hard, with crazy high budget, as it will try to cover many use-cases you will never have and it still won't be open-sourced because now it's your "core competency" and five months later someone will realize your component has terrible a11y and etc. and one million bug fixes later it is a monster code-base that none wants to touch and maybe rewrite? oh here we go again).
It's been a long time since I thought about this, but wasn't IBM really the one pushing and innovating Java (not just EE)?
That's the same dialog in my house. I wonder if Netflix has any idea how close many of us are to cancelling our subscriptions? Wouldn't be surprised if they incurred a 15% to 20% drop in subscribers throughout 2023.
Yeah, but 486 is not 386.

If $6T was truly lost from the 1% only, I think you would see some people celebrating, or at least not caring so much. But how many 401ks will now leave a retiree indigent? How many people will be unemployed in a downturn, even if they never held any stock? How many people's savings will be destroyed by inflation?
Let’s all let ourselves believe that the para-military movement is authentically at odds with any law enforcement agency.
Today is a gaming product announcement and I'm not sure that games have a need even beyond 12 GB today. I suspect that the 4090 price not budging much is telling as far as what ram amount demand has been focused on for games.

I assume they will soon have a professional card announcement that includes 48GB+ cards. Assuming that the high ram cards have improvements similar to this generational leap in the gaming market, they will be in high demand.
considering its supposed age, if there are any muslim or arabic artifacts in it, it wouldn't just be an extremely rare find, it would overturn all known history.
Kind of convenient that Snowden has been pushed into that corner, isn't it?
Ironically Intel's Haswell architecture was randomly named after a small town for legal reasons:

https://www.denverpost.com/2013/06/01/intels-newest-processo...

> Until the mid-1990s, Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel internally named its processors after cartoons, dead musicians and other well-known monikers. Attorneys for the late rocker Frank Zappa helped put an end to that practice after reaching out to the company about a potential trademark violation, said Intel spokesman Bill Calder. The legal team for the world’s largest computer-chip maker subsequently ordered that any new product code names be based on “existing, non-trademarked places in North America that can be found on a map,” Calder said.

> After struggling to find a suitable or available name in Oregon, where much of the chip design team is based, he stumbled upon Haswell in his ZIP code database.

> “I didn’t know anything about Haswell other than that it’s a good name,” Hampsten said. “Another reason I liked it, it had a suffix — well — which I could use for various other names.”
A quick glance at the Kubernetes Gateway API
Been preaching that for years, but I can certainly see where "it doesn’t matter anyway" comes from.
My logic would be that these cards are for consumer usage, and mining means 24/7 100% load. So, a year mining would be like 5 years of gaming, and even then you gamed 5 hours a day, every single day! So, mining might not destroy cards, but it's heavy use.

I think the used goods buyers' attitude is similar to those in the car market. Never mind the miles, if a car had heavy users, like a pizza company's delivery vehicle, it looks different in the market than a garage-stored family car used to visit the relatives.
Yeah I'm going to call this a hard pass until I see third-party benchmarks, power draw numbers, and what AMD has with RDNA3.

This is starting to look like a repeat of Geforce FX vs Radeon 9700 Pro all over again.

One of these countries has rule of law and can prosecute such incidents, the other… not so much.

I’ll pass. Needs to be 1/4 of that to be worth considering. You can have a whole PC for less.
OK, I see the general approach. Some sort of hack to get modern code to run on CPUs without the normally assumed instruction set present.

Perhaps consider writing "what problem does this solve" and "how does it solve it" and "why is this approach a good one" at the top of your repo. It would help to generate interest.

Why I Left Gitpod – Geoffrey Huntley
It is if it makes someone reject the argument.

This is identical to saying "Climate change doesn't exist because Al Gore flies in airplanes," or "Ralph Nader cannot be a critic of capitalism because he made a million dollars of his books."

Motivations have nothing to do with it, that is exactly what an ad hominem attack is. If you reject the argument because of the person's motivations, you are calling an argument false without evaluating the argument itself. That is broken reasoning, which is why the term "fallacy" exists.
As someone who built a product that is a form builder that uses React, https://keenforms.com, the best thing I can say is this;

Most of these libraries are fine for simple to medium complexity forms. However once you cross a certain level of complexity these libraries become impediments rather than tools. I probably could have used a redux implementation but build my own state management API with a mixture of object oriented as well as functional programming. The values of the inputs persist so you want objects, but hiding/validating/calculating need to be reset for each change so I used a functional approach for these other features.

React is not perfect and its easy to paint yourself into a corner. However as someone who used to write js for IE6 and has forgotten more js libraries that you can imagine (Dojo, ExtJS, Backbone, Ember, etc) I can tell you right off the bat its the best tool for the job. Not perfect, just like Javascript. Just know and accept its limitations and you should be able to get React to do what you want.
Stupid rich people's plans aren't going their way because they're unfeasible and would require a completely brain-dwad population to go with them.

If COVID and the shots were supposed to thin out the population, joke's on them: only the morons that support their idiocy took it. Way to kill off your own base.

> Or perhaps we don't need HN exceptionalism?

It's not exceptionalism to lament the downfall of the tradition of carefully cultivated discourse. I still remember when this community used to be different, and this site was the one I went to first.

> There's no reason why HN should have a higher quality discussion than some generic subreddit or FB comment sections.

Yes, there is. HN uses to have a higher quality discussion because it was carefully moderated both by the community itself and the moderators. Sadly, it seems that all communities deteriorate eventually.
Are you dang?
1800 years before the religion was started, thats quite something.
Is it though? I guess it is for machine learning. But do games require that much memory? Remember that GeForce is the consumer line. I would expect it to mainly target the gamer market.
Right now the political and economic interests of Germany and France is a strong EU. Won't always be true, though I can't foresee the circumstances when it might change.

Likewise, for most of my life, my personal political and economic interests included a strong UK (still does even though I moved to Germany) and USA even though I never lived there.
>economies are wile coyote running past the edge of a cliff before they look down. that’s capitalism baby

Please say psyke before I join the communists.
Yeah, I have the same sentiment.

I hope they come out with 4090TI with more memory though
I didn't cherry pick anything. I just clicked randomly through the video to refresh my memory before replying and that is the last place I was at.

90% of the video is not sinister-looking.
450 watt TDP? I feel like a crazy person every time a new generation of GPU comes out and raises the bar on power consumption and heat generation. How is this ok?
Probably not. Even without the crypto market, the official MSRP of GPU has ballooned over the past few years.
While RT is a single player gimmick I mostly turn off, it won't take many more increases like this to make it a very real feature. What will we see when developers start targeting these cards, or their successors?
On the one hand, there's your claim that a web version of TwinCalc should be 56.3K or so. On the other hand, there's a world of existing web apps which are generally very much larger than that.

A smaller footprint than 563K would be a dubious advantage for web apps in either case.

thank you for the detailed feedback! Yes, we're working on ironing out the manual step required for starting minutes in Zoom.

With "add summary there", do you mean syncing the meeting summary to Hubspot, or do you have something else in mind?

The centralised list of actions is an interesting idea, we'll look into this. How/where do you currently centralise your notes/action items?
I might be priced out of the market when my current rig goes. For the price of a 4080 you could have both consoles or a console and a Steam Deck
But this emulates 486 systems and not precisely.
For example, endbr32 instruction is not a problem under emulation but it's real issue on real i386/i486 hw. Simply because real 386/486 cpus doesn't support multi nop instructions.
They are probably working towards cleaning out the 30 series stock given that crypto demand is dying off. It takes a lot to put 3060 prices on a marketing slide for 40 series.
So does an ESD gun.
You're acting like people are rational, and they aren't.
Lol I never knew those existed. Apparently they're egyption hieroglyphs but it really makes me wonder the meanings of them now :)

I also wonder how these didn't become insanely popular overnight, like the famous eggplant.
Hooks don’t actually need to be named “useX”. That’s the convention, and the React team provides a lint rule that enforces it, but you can name your hooks whatever you want and it’ll work fine.

I’m not what sure what you mean by not “normal” JS functions, though? They’re an API provided by a framework, and — like all APIs — they have specific constraints that govern how they’re used.
Well, I’m saying it may not perform for workstation workloads as well as nvidia cards, because cuda, but I also dont know how well supported workstation/pro features are with nvidia cards on Linux.
Do you have an ISP-provided email account that you never check? You might want to check it to see if you have any botnet notifications.
First, we add more developers. When that doesn’t solve the problem, we re-assign people from other projects to the late one. When that doesn’t work, we negotiate with the client until they agree that what we can deliver is what they’d wanted all along.

I don’t see why we don’t skip straight to step 3, but meh.
Yea and even then do they typically have a lot (or any?) of ads in the video in addition to sponsor call outs and promos codes and such?
We bought the cards directly from an OEM, with heatsinks on them instead of fans.

We use a case based cooling system. ie: an enclosed box with fans. 12 cards in a box. This is lower power, fewer fans (5 instead of 12), and better cooling than putting fans on each card. Also easier to replace a fan on a case than a card.

At my scale, water cooling doesn't work and isn't cost efficient. Air is a surprisingly great cooling system.
To what end? You’ve already stated elsewhere that your only point is that you can, under an increasingly strict set of conditions, write code that is (almost always) free of memory bugs. Great!

Nobody is hiding around the corner waiting to take `gcc` or `clang` away from you if you want to keep using them. Nobody's threatening to take away your software engineering license if we catch you writing a memory bug.

This whole thread is ridiculous. “The safety improvements in modern cars are substantial. If you're buying a new car these days, you should probably buy one made after 2018.” “Well I'm still driving my 1969 Malibu. Plus I’ve never been in an accident so I don’t need those safety features.” “Okay but… what are those dents in your car?” “I said no accidents on public roads. Prove me wrong or STFU.”
I suspect they also highlight RT performance (and AI acceleration which is more-so focused on a different market than these gaming cards) because it is their key differentiator with competitors.

Most upper market cards can already run most games well at 1440p or 4k.
If you'd like to experience this treatment first-hand, try surfing the web using the Tor Browser.

Spoiler alert: many websites simply refuse to load at all (e.g. any google service, and lots of websites "protected" by CF). Captchas are everywhere: in many cases, you can't even complete simple GETs of blogs without donating free labor to CF.

And the most infuriating part, you get CF marketing messages right in your face while your browser is calculating hashcash (I guess?)... At this point I can recognize every single one of them: something about bots making up 40% of all internet traffic, something about their web scraper protection racket, something about small businesses (???), etc etc...

To be fair, Tor exit nodes have an awful reputation for sure. Nevertheless, I have a hard time forgiving how CF makes browsing the Internet hell for those who actually need Tor.
You invented a meaningless term called a fallacy fallacy and then committed exactly that. /Chef's kiss/
Totally agree. My point is view at the moment is that QEII was the last true royal, ie she had such close ties to the monarchy of old.

I think from KCIII onwards things will start to change as it becomes apparent that he and his descendants aren't really representative of the "the good old days".
>For clarity, do you mean that more police alone won't fix the problem by itself?

Yes. Sometimes we do need more police but the police alone cannot solve the issue. You also need a working system of justice and a system where people know they will be held responsible for wrongdoing (all around) and a system to handle people who need mental care (along with laws that allow the state to assume care for those incapable of caring for themselves) but again, we'd require the state not to abuse its power...

I still think there is normally acceptable behavior and non-normally acceptable behavior. Of late, we've swung too far on, "everything is normal". You wanna shit on the street? You wanna run sit naked in a restaurant? You wanna use intravenous drugs and get high in a playgrouund? You wanna just rummage and dump things from the supermarket aisles into your bag and run out?
Even if the quality of their own series had been better, they would still have rising costs and a diminishing offering so I doubt it would have been enough to turn the tide.
I like this explanation because unlike all the other theories that have been rehashed in this thread from previously, it actually explains the most recent game. Possibly Carlsen thought he was psychologically capable of playing this game and then discovered after a couple moves that he wasn't.
Helidon Nima is a new contender, made with virtual threads in mind.
Why do you hate that? For its intended use case -- upsampling games and such to a higher resolution without using as much gfx power -- it's pretty amazing.
