Apparently mining cards are ok because they suffer a constant load, sometimes run at a capped peak performance (?), vs games which can be very spikey.

Whether this is just misdirection thrown around by crypto miners looking at a hole of sunk assets or not, I could not say. Personally I'd just buy new, but I have also probably never spent over 300usd on a card.
this simplification to “everything needs matrix multiply and GPUs are matrix multipliers” doesn’t really match the actual architecture.

the hardware for low-precision matrix multiplications in ML is mostly independent of the hardware that’s typically utilized for vertex and fragment shaders in computer graphics. It really only gets used for graphics if using DLSS. It’s not used at all for (integer) computations in cryptomining.

Are they for high-precision scientific simulations because it’s possible to multiply matrices on them? These cards are probably quite shit at double-precision matrix multiplications.
I'm a former racer too and this constant equipment arms race and arguing is just so fatiguing.

People can argue about analytics around equipment till pigs fly. It's all still just an order of magnitude smaller than the differences between being fit and not fit and a stronger rider versus a weaker rider or a coached rider versus un-coached rider.

The sport has separated into riding enthusiasts and equipment enthusiasts and the bike companies have completely brainwashed equipment enthusiasts.

Your times don't make any sense either... 8% for 1km takes vastly less time than you're talking about at the power levels you're talking about. You're probably off an order of magnitude there. A rider with an FTP of around 300 will probably climb closer to 10km @ 8% in 40 minutes.

Nothing is more tiring than being at the start of a race and there's someone with a $10k+ bike and a gut talking smack about bikes to someone everyone else knows is going to win the race and the guy with the $10k bike is getting dropped & pulled from the race. One person spent all their time on training and the other spent all their time researching & buying equipment.
Let's never do that. Because he doesn't deserve it.

Using certain words on YouTube will get people flagged, so you might talk about "the current public health crisis" and avoid using the names for it.

As the level of censorship ramps up in the US, this is bound to happen as free and open discussion gives way to preference falsification.

Am I supposed to run these thru GPT and stable diffusion locally for the full effect?

It’s bad enough the comments are computer generated. When they are client-side computer generated we’ve truly crossed over.
My personal impression of this site is that it's generally very negative. I'm sure the response is to say that's just me noticing the negativity and not the positivity. Maybe so. I'd like to see some cold, hard numbers on it, though.
It could just be the way I was taught how to write but I never had problems with smearing, just occlusion. I just got used to not seeing what I was writing, and since I went into computers anyways, it was never something that needed correcting.
Snowden is stuck in a lose-lose position. Do you choose to go behind bars or do you embrace the hypocrisy in the hope that you can still do some good?

This is the interpretation I choose to believe, until I see any proof to the contrary. Ultimately his whistle-blowing was a good thing.
I got a GTX1080 in december 2016. It's still going strong.
I picked up a Bond knitting machine ("the incredible sweater machine") for about 20 planetary credits last year. The pull length can be adjusted, alowing for diffrent yarn thikness but that's the only controll available. Anything you want to do beyond square single color pieces is very tricky, the notion that this machine "makes sweaters" is a joke.

That said, it's surprisingly fun to use. Looking forward to the dark months!
No, it will run everything at lower quality settings and at lower resolutions. The "4K" is usually just 1440p/1080p upscaled.
Dude! Congrats! This is a magical time. Don't waste it by worrying.

Stay at your job. Milk them for whatever paternity leave they will give you. And if you announce you are going on a long paternity leave, they are not going to fire you right before you leave. DO NOT SWITCH JOBS NOW.

When the hospital sends you the bill - argue, argue, argue. They did stupid stuff to us like bill both my wife and the child for all the same delivery line items ("guys, it was the same procedure!"). Get it to a reasonable number and put it on a payment plan.

Use the paternity leave to start looking for jobs. You'll have time and a clear head. And a much bigger perspective on life. You may even find that with the change, you were missed at work and that the burnout seems far and distant.

After that, having a kid is cheap. (At least at first). Get yourself a Costco membership. The first year we spent maybe $35 a month on diapers and $45 a month on formula. Clothes and furniture and toys other people will be stoked to provide for you. At tax season, enjoy getting a few thousand extra dollars back.

Welcome to the next phase of your life. I wish you and your growing family much happiness.
Take a deep breath. It's all very hard but somehow manageable. For example, I used to be dead without my 9 hours of sleep. I found out that, with screaming children, I can do with 6-7. One step at a time. It's one of those where climbing a mountain seems impossible, but taking one step is OK.

No one is prepared to be a parent, really, unless you've had 2 kids already. People forget the tough stuff when they tell you their war stories from 20+ years ago. Truth is, everyone makes it up as they go along. Being a passable parent is somehow baked into our DNA, so with a little effort you'll make a good one, and with dedication a great one.

See if you can somehow coast at work. I don't mean, take advantage of anything, but the first 12-18 months of a child's life is not ideal for pushing hard on career. For the same reason, if you'd be thinking about changing jobs, I'd take it into account.
> hooks aren’t JS

They literally are.

> hooks aren’t JS

The code in React executing components relies on hooks running in a consistent order each time the component runs, but the existence of a runtime context that has expectations about side effects (and hooks are side effects) doesn't make it “not javascript”.
With CentOS, Red Hat pulled a cunning move: they started supporting the project themselves, then after some time changed its direction from a repackaged white-box Red Hat to a fast-moving prerelease Red Hat. Now it's much harder for a bigger business to decide which of the CentOS-lookalikes to choose.
I love the mix of detailed encyclopedia-like information and institution-specific "ask Agnes" notes. Not sure what makes it so charming. Maybe it's nice to see such a high level of effort put into something without the expectation of a large audience.
That’s like talking about apple’s monopoly. Neither have a monopoly, what they have is competitors that fucking suck. Take it up with them.
For training? The note cards the better, up to a couple hundred. Custom code may be required, but your bottleneck will be the GPU count.

For inference? You can’t generally shard an AI across multiple cards, but you can run multiple instances. Depends on what your trying to do.

In no case will it be a simple linear speedup, and you certainly can’t add the memory together.
These prices are beyond insulting and frankly I'm glad they're going to take a hit competing with the flood of miner cards entering the market.

Also note that nothing is preventing Optical Flow Acceleration [0] (and subsequently the DLSS 3.0 models that they claim are exclusive to the 40 series) from running on either 2/3 RTX cards. Just like RTX Voice and other gimmick "exclusives" I expect it to be available to older cards the moment they realize their backlog of 30 series cards aren't clearing as quickly as they thought.

They're competing against an over-bloated secondhand market, AMD, Intel, much better integrated GPUs, and comparatively cheaper consoles that maintain sky-high demand with subsidized games via new subscription programs. They're vastly overestimating their brand loyalty (think Microsoft v Sony after the 360) and EVGA's exit makes more sense now than ever.

Assuming you spent four hours a week exercising, 50 weeks a year for 50 years, that would be 10,000 hours of lifetime exercise. That’s barely over 1 year of time. But, for that one year, you would likely get six to eight additional years of disability-free health.

If we compare someone in the bottom 25 percent to someone with an elite level of cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e. those in top 2.5% for their age and sex), the hazard ratio goes up to 5.0. That’s a 400% increase in the risk of death (ACM) if you are in the bottom 25 percent relative to the top 2.5%. In other words, being in the top 2.5% of cardiorespiratory fitness drops your risk of death by 80%!
DLSS 3 is their main "achievement"? Pathetic. Posting "2-4x times faster WITH DLSS" is just cheap cheating.

As a side-note, the X-Box series S was the cheapest and most effective way for me to buy a 4K-UHD blu-ray player.

I did try to do some CUDA based AI rendering stuff on my 2080S but 8GB didn't seem to be enough.

Its weird to comprehend the 'stretching' of technology advance over time as I age, especially on the value side. There hasn't ever been the same 'feel' for me from the first leap of moving from software rendered Quake to a 3D-card - despite the various advances since, although I remember bump-mapping as another massive leap.

It's totally unfair in some ways. As an example the control you have over lighting a scene (either in a game or something you're rendering) is way beyond what multi-million dollar studios were using in my younger years.

What happens to society/reality when technology capable of producing video content indistinguishable from reality is affordable to many? Its already happening. Its going to become more commonplace.

The problem of 'truth' becomes massive - is the thing presented to you something that actually happened or was it fabricated?

Sounds like ESG investing. The dynamics are the same. You want to punish The Bad Guys by withholding something from them, either capital or purchasing dollars. However, doing so creates an imbalance in the markets so they end up getting underpriced, which turns into a transfer of wealth from the people with moral convictions to people without.

Imagine all the people in countries deemed less desirable by Cloudflare that go through this all the time. Cloudflare, whether it's their stated goal or not, is re-stratifying and re-centralizing the Internet because of their desire to be a monopoly, and we'll all suffer as a result.
This is a good take, but to me the way you phrased it definitely made it seem like you though less of her; like she was an interesting peasant that someone of noble stature like yourself deigned to interact with.

There is a world of difference between “untested” and “insecure” API endpoints. What seems to have been cut in the example isn’t a permissions model, but some form of automated integration testing.

I’ve seen horribly insecure APIs with 100% code coverage, and I’ve personally burned myself on untested API endpoints where the privacy implementation was _too_ restrictive for what my customers were trying to do.
Were the salaries offered by these states also to blame? i.e are there enough qualified developers out there but unwilling to take jobs at the salaries offered by states? I suspect a bit of both - a lot of the old-heads in the space are retiring/dying, reducing the # of qualified developers, but I also suspect states want to cheap-out on hiring those that remain.

Snowden is "a serial exaggerator and fabricator" who told a series of untrue stories about his health, education and performance reviews.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2014/03/...

Obama, at an August news conference, specifically said that “I signed an executive order well before Mr. Snowden leaked this information that provided whistleblower protection to the intelligence community — for the first time.”
> A heat pump to replace my furnace and water heater; and only using the electric car would cut my direct energy usage in half.

That's more due to the seemingly magical properties of heat pumps producing 2-3x as much heat as energy input.

Burning nat gas to create heat in your home is nearly 100% efficient, which is why resistant electric heaters generally can't compete. Though resistant heaters might be more carbon neutral depending on your local grid.

Of course, burning stuff to do mechanical work is quite inefficient, especially in a small scale engine like a car. If we must burn stuff, we should do it is massive thermal plants that have the money and expertise to squeeze out the maximum efficiency possible, and deliver electricity to do the small scale work, like driving.
I agree completely. My comment was to point out it’s not just subsidized phones.

They lost on number portability. They’ve still got this (for now).
Many things are wasteful. Trees are wasteful. The plant world could happily live as tall grasses, but because of competition, we now have trees.
The GTX 260 was build on a 65 nm process, the 960 on a 28 nm process. This is one and a half full nodes apart, on similar planar processes with a full node really was a doubling of density. While the transistor count increased by more than that (1.4B to 5.2B), leading to a larger die size, it can't be overstated how much the improved process and decreased Vth helped power usage in this era. It would have been a challenge to use more power across those processes.
Realistically speaking, the 3090 targets enthusiasts and hobbyist ML work. There’s not much need for a card of that size for gaming, but there’s definitely room for a card that can do ML and gaming.
Take whatever benefits you have and then quit.

Most cards that come out seems to sell relatively well, so seems they are doing what consumers want: better performance in favor of everything else.

Like at Verizon? Who systematically locks all phones bought from them whatsoever, even at third party stores, if purchased outright at full price?[0]

> [0]: In order to mitigate theft and other fraudulent activity, newly purchased devices are “locked” to work exclusively on the Verizon network. We have separate device unlocking policies that cover postpay and prepaid devices, as well as special rules for deployed military personnel.

Yes, you can get them unlocked, but it's cumbersome at best in my experience.[1]

> [1]: Devices that you purchase from Verizon are locked for 60 days after purchase. Devices that you purchase from our retail partners are locked for 60 days after activation. After 60 days, we will automatically remove the lock. Following the 60 day lock period, we do not lock our phones at any time.

And anecdata (admittedly from the past), but I've never had them automatically unlock the devices. It's always been a nightmare with CS to get them unlocked, stuck in repeated loops of "I don't know what you're talking about" to "this requires a different team, let me transfer you."

> But it's not -- factory-unlocked phones are trivial to obtain. Consumers already have a choice.

How often do people not know the device they are paying full price for is locked to the network?

Or how about T-Mobile, who automatically locks phones to their network when a sim card is inserted? [2][3][4][5]

Good quote from [5] as well.

> If you're not using an engine, with a good editor, then you're already firmly among a niche few.

Not really. SDL, SFML, Monogame and FNA (and more) do not have editors, but a lot of popular indie titles are shipped with them.

> folks who willingly toss all that aside to write a game from scratch are among the fringe

Check out Dear Imgui. Indie shops such as exok (makers of Celeste) and AAA companies such as Rockstar Games (GTA) use it to create editors for their games.

You don't really need an engine. You probably need a framework if you're going cross-platform. If you're exclusive, you don't even need that.

If we start depending on proprietary engines instead of platform APIs, we're shooting ourselves in the foot in the long-term.
Could you say more about this? I'm not a React user, but to me one of the OO fundamentals is "object = behavior + state". What you're saying sounds so obviously correct to me that I guess there's something pretty weird going on in React-land?
I agree about the usefulness of thought experiments, but there are many other much more useful thought experiments, even in the domain of hashes.

A large number of people have thought for several years about how to improve MD5, and the results were SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160.

It is very instructive to study the evolution from MD4 to MD5 and to SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160, but it is very unlikely that attempting 30 years later to do something better than those, without completely changing a hash algorithm structure that is now well understood as being inappropriate, can teach you anything.
>> At the moment, the only thing that really and truly matters is your wife/partner's health and your baby.

Maybe it’s just the phrasing of this and it’s intended differently, but it seems like terrible advice. You should never put your own mental health last. If you’re in a hole you’re not going to be able to help anyone else. If OP has just found out they’re having a baby they likely have some time. If they use that time to focus on themselves and get themselves in a better position they can be in a much better mental state to help when the baby actually arrives. The statement I quoted reads like the OP doesn’t matter and he should accept that. But maybe I’m not understanding your intention fully.

> Raising MSRP doesn't undercut board partners, it allows board partners to charge more which is what they want.

My understanding regarding the EVGA debacle is that Nvidia sets really high MSRP along with charging for the chips & giving themselves a headstart and the partners can't go above the MSRP then Nvidia comes in and slashes prices that only Nvidia can compete at (since they can give themselves discounts on the chips along with all of the other advantages they have).

What board partners likely want is either: Nvidia is time-limited to a few months with Founder Cards or Nvidia allows them to sell cards for more money and Nvidia can't make any card except Founder.
