Have you read the intelligence report that the NPR article references? It's good. It even says Snowden had whistleblower protection but never tried to use it. Nobody he worked with remembers him bringing it up. Etc.

Had he gone to Congress he would be considered a whistleblower.

That report is what made me do a 180 on Snowden fyi

I'll be on the sidelines waiting to see how this turns out.

When there was a monthly income from mining and selling ETH, with payback that could be counted in a few months, insane GPU prices made sense for miners (or combo gamer/miners.)

Without that, it's down to gamers with high discretionary income, and how well alternatives are priced. For example, if you can get an RTX 3080 or 3090 for less than $600, you might not consider the RTX 4080 or higher. If AMD releases competitive parts and undercuts their prices (I'd bet on this), these parts will likely take longer to sell, and drop in price.

Almost certainly, with Nvidia's overstock of RTX 3000 cards, they simply want the RTX 3000 to look good in comparison, and get sold, while they control the supply of RTX 4000 cards (perhaps only producing a relative trickle until the RTX 3000 are gone.) Then they could adjust prices to meet the market, and again the RTX 4000 "lower" prices will seem better (if only in comparison to the previous prices.)

(Disclaimer: I paid $800 for an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB, and mined enough ETH to pay it off, and then stopped mining. I wanted it for gaming, but I did not think the price was reasonable.)
Carriers are slow moving, high value targets for hypersonic missiles.

The Navy currently has no effective defense against these so the only reasonable assumption is that carriers will be lost in very short order in the event of a major conflict.

Apparently, the Navy is still working to ignore this inconvenient fact.
This is a hot take from another new parent.

Let them fire you and collect unemployment while you recover. Go get a survival job that’s covers insurance and rent if needed. Sell stuff, get rid of your extra car etc. Your goal is to survive the next year with your baby and partner.

You need to forget about work, the most important thing will be helping your partner. It’s easy for fathers to conveniently choose to work (or stress over work- be present, fuck work!) while the mother bears the burden. Having a job is not an excuse to be lazy or to avoid responsibility for the child. My brother’s both took the easy way out, letting their wife’s become the childcare leader, shouldering the emotional burden, and their wives have to plan/delegate everything. That has fostered resentment and eroded their relationships.

The next year is going to be super challenging but you will grow new muscles, the baby will settle into a rhythm and you’ll be able to poke your head up to find a better job. In the grand scheme, you can write code and you’ll be middle class (or better). A 1 year gap is not going to break you.
> The most expensive electricity is Germany at $0.40 / kwh

That’s not true, my contract is for 0.41 (EUR, but that’s kinda the same right now) and I’ve seen far higher prices. Unless you are talking wholesale, which might be true but is useless for a consumer comparison.
What happened to the name “uBO Minus”?
I don't have a strong opinion either way but if you left React because you are frustrated with code becoming obsolete and picked up Hotwire, a significantly smaller framework, arnt you likely to run into the same problem if Hotwire doesnt end up being the next big framework?

In 5 years if no one else is using Hotwire then your code is obsolete, no?

I liked working in next.js in the past but my company was already talking about Nuxt.js when we hadnt even fully converted to next. Feels like jumping ships from a ship with some major flaws, but will continue to float for x+ years, onto a lifeboat that may or may not make it another 500 feet before sinking.

No, go pick up a 3090 Ti from Best Buy instead. It's $999 right now -- over half off, maybe more with this announcement -- and has 24GB of VRAM, and can chew through Stable Diffusion requests in seconds versus dozens of seconds or minutes for alternatives. And because it's an nvidia card, you'll be in a much better position to troubleshoot problems or whatever if you want to retune/retrain models or get your feet wet. Or, you know. Shove it into another PC and play a video game.

That said the Mac Studio is a pretty badass machine. Don't let me dissuade you from one if you just want it. But it's a worse choice if you just want to dabble in ML stuff, IMO. Staying with the well trodden road will help you more when you're new to it all.
My understanding of is that the problem isn't "learning COBOL" it's learning all of the environment that surrounds COBOL, the IBM Z Mainframes, learning JCL and what not.

In fact it seems this is the case with every language, Java was the first language I picked up, I did it through school, I am familiar with syntax and how it works under the hood, yet I don't feel comfortable on Java projects, not because I have any problem with Java it's because I don't know the entire environment around it, there's DI frameworks, finding the magic Spring config to make things work the way you want, etc. As an engineer I don't really have an ability to see what is going on in an application and really trace the code start to finish because there are three or four layers wrapping, abstracting, surrounding, or smothering any code that anyone has actually written on my team.

Same thing with .Net I've tried picking it up since .Net core came out, but it just seems that figuring out how to string all the packages, and dependencies and figuring out how the build tooling works is more effort than the language itself.

Repeat for JS, you can know Node and JS and in this environment that will get you a nickle and a piping hot cup of Jack Squat because you can't just know JS, you need to know JS, and React or Angular, and in order to work with those tools you also need to use Webpack or Babel, and a transpiler and all the tutorials that go "step by step" seem to consist of "install these packages don't ask why just do it and then add 4 lines of code".

The problem isn't nor has it ever been the langauge, so far I've picked up Perl, Python, Java, C#, JS, TS, Ruby, AWK, and a handful of other languages with ease (The only one I've struggled with thus far is LISP) it is the environment that surrounds each of these things, and I only forsee it getting worse as we continue to move things to a higher and higher level, we think we are simplifying but it feels more like we are building a leaning tower on a foundation of sand, where soon coding will become more of a priesthood than anything, where the right incantations will produce a certain effect but no one will really know how or why because no one person knows or understands what the 14 layers of abstraction we are running on do. Which inevitably ends up reinventing the wheel at every layer of the stack as teams try to solve problems within the area they understand not realizing how much easier it would be to solve in another layer, and we'll just end up running around in red robes chanting prayers to the Omnissiah.

Stable Diffusion is but 1 project. M1 gonna be a huge bottleneck for anything that takes time. That "Ultra" for $4k is about 5 times slower than a single 3090. It will be nearly 10 times slower than 4090.

Ugh, to hear what hackarounds folks have to deal with in the Java ecosystem is kind of frightening.

I moved from Java to Node (then Typescript) about 8 years ago. Moving to a language that doesn't allow implicit nulls makes a world of difference, importantly, at "programmer" time, not just build time.

That is, when programming in VSCode, I immediately get feedback if I attempt to use a nullable variable in an unsafe manner. That has huge productivity benefits compared to if I only got that feedback after my build ran.

Similarly, simple things like safe optional chaining (i.e. foo?.bar?.baz) makes code so much faster and easier to write, and AFAIK this hasn't been added to Java yet (correct me if I'm wrong).

Congratulations! Allow yourself to be excited about your baby. All they need at first is food, sleep, and clean diapers. They will fill you with joy that you've never experienced before.

Work will seem ever more trivial. Allow that as well, it is trivial. Now that you have a baby to take care of, you can worry less about taking care of your boss, and the wealth they need you to create for them, and the vacations they need you to pay for them, and the big house they need you to build for them, etc. Let them sucker some other young engineer into building their dreams.

You are the result of an unbroken line of millions of years of successful reproduction. You are the product of an uncountable quantity of computation and evolution. The power and intelligence behind you is infinitely greater than the obstacles that lay before you.
When I first saw that headline I thought it was a society for people who have 2000 watt PSUs.
It’s not a trope it’s facts you dislike and refuse to engage with. You are a miner, you are part of the problem and of course you are looking for anything you can to justify what you do without having to ask if you're the baddies. Such a disclosure would have been helpful in advance and would have saved me some time.

I'm sorry you're trying to defend the indefensible: kilotons of e-waste per year and the energy consumption of a small country to achieve the work of a Raspberry Pi.

97% of all bitcoin mining ASICs will never mine a single block. Ever. Just straight from factory to landfill with a long sojourn warming up the planet.

Everything beyond those facts are mental gymanastics.

This is very reductive, you've lost sight of the trees and only see the forest. Politically apathetic people have a wide array of personal reasons for being the way they are. You don't know what's going on in all of their lives, you can't reduce all of their life experiences and feelings into one big conspiracy.
I keep seeing this sentiment here but as someone who’s used both the old paradigms and hooks - hooks are much better and simpler overall.

I would like more diversity too. More importantly, for these systems to communicate over a standard protocol; so I can build my itenerary/playlist(non-Spotify)/location based alerts etc on my desktop/laptop/phone throughout the day and it is ready to go the moment I step inside a car. If I’m on an interesting road or I spot something, I want the voice assistant to seamlessly save the location and my thoughts for later. If I’m talking about something in the car, I want the screen to display useful contextual information (in a privacy safe manner so Google and Amazon are out right off the bat). If I need to make a quick decision about what chores I can take care of while on the road, the car should display immediately what I can realistically achieve given my current location/traffic etc. All without me having to pull over and play with the phone or the car.

Apple gets pretty close with custom apps (that I can build myself) and it’s ecosystem. Car manufacturers are probably a decade away from catching up to present day functionality with phones, let alone be good enough to become dominant by “natural selection”.

Modern lives are complicated. There are a lot of moving parts. We have developed elaborate “second brain” systems to make all this easier, and it not being available in something as significant as transportation (I spend a lot of time in my car), is a huge negative. Why explicitly choose that when there’s a solution already? And when the competition has shown no competence in this area of being able to catch-up ever?
Cut scope. You are on the exact definition of a death march. Your management must not be very experienced, this is a tale as old as time.
Yeah I don't really understand this worry about buying cards used for mining. If you're worried about wear I'd still rather take a miner's card than one that was used by a heavy gamer and routinely pushed to the limit.

I feel like people dislike cryptominers (IMO reasonably, and for all sorts of reasons) and want to punish them all the way by preventing them from liquidating their stocks of cards, but I don't think it's a good reason to make stuff up.

I wouldn't buy a card that I know was used for mining because I'm effectively boycotting miners, not because of some made up technical excuse.
How does this work? Is Apple doing something that Google is not so that phones bought from Apple cannot be locked?

Why would Google allow ATT to lock a phone sold Google them via a SIM?
Yeah this. We use Context to apply different themes in a multi-tenant app, and we use Redux to manage global state like the header. Both are great for their purpose.

Try to worry a little less. You obviously cannot and will not stop worrying (welcome to parenthood!). But remember that far less well equipped people than you have been figuring it all out for thousands of years. You will too.

Ask for paternity and flexible hours. Work less, and care less about work. If you lose your job, you will get another one. Ask family and friends for help if you really need it. Do not worry about the future. One step at a time, one bridge at a time. It will all work out.

A used 2080TI goes for around $500, with the remaining $500 I can get a computer with a 6x3.6GHz Ryzen 5 and 16GB RAM. Which is something completely different than a Macbook Air, so that's kind of an apples to oranges comparison, but I don't see the big price advantage. And presumably GP already has the "supporting platform", since they are upgrading, making the 2080TI upgrade half the price of a switch to an m1?
Class components are great. One thing I did see at my old job, however, was people extending the class components, sometimes 10+ times, which was very unexpected and harder to reason about. With functional components and hooks, you enforce proper composition.

Same here. Used to love Steve Jobs' Apple. The major difference I think Tim Cook has a moral compass that is somewhat different to say the least. He doesn't view doing that as wrong.

> heavy use mostly doesn't apply to solid-state devices

Sorry, but this is pretty much incorrect. Copper migrates, even in solid state devices, and those copper migrations cause breaks and shorts, which cause errors and failures. The smaller the scale, the faster this happens. There is absolutely a MTBF even for solid-state devices.

This entire slide deck is worth the perusal, if only for the "whoah, that actually happens?!" moments. But here's a relevant slide for this claim:

Another fascinating slide is this one, which shows how an IC can start to have a timing issue after being in service for a time.

It's hard to tell if there is just enough commenters on HN that dislike PG or if tech folks in general actually have decided to dislike PG.

Regardless, almost every single public figure reputation takes a downturn given enough time. PG is no exception.
