My guess is, the problem is the lower end. I'm guessing they bought a lot of fab capacity for the 40 series given fab capacity was highly constrained over the recent years and they couldn't produce graphics cards fast enough.

Now masses of 30 series are being dumped onto the used market from a combination of ex-mining card and ex-gaming cards being sold in preparation for the 40 series. Gamers who were looking for 3060/3060ti/3070's can probably pickup a used 3080 for comparable money on ebay.

So what does the demand for the 4060 look like? I'm assuming a 4060 is a binned down part that didn't make the cut for higher models? You wonder if nvidia is left with a lot of chips that would've gone to the 4060 which they can't sell.
Sure, there's a roughly playable form of the game available.

That has yet to deliver on a fraction of the promised design scope or content.
Who was saying this 20 years ago? eCommerce was barely a thing back then. Smartphones, YouTube and Twitter didn't exist. The only people who knew about new cars and their features were enthusiasts who got a dozen magazine subscriptions.

The difference is that today there are actually companies successfully following this model, Tesla being the most prominent example. All other manufacturers want to cut down on the mandatory middlemen fees (and have publicly said it - https://web.archive.org/web/20220629075106/https://www.nytim...). It's a matter of when, not if, they will get to it.
Don't forget console optimization, at least for triple-A games, makes the hardware punch well above its weight class compared to the PC version. Halo 5 on the Xbox One looks about as good as anything I run on my GTX 1070 despite it having the hardware equivalent of a GTX 750.
What do you mean by this? No matter how much Bitcoin costs _now_, I can use it to move 50USD to someone else.
People will stay engaged if standups are valuable.

If enough people are having trouble paying attention that it's becoming a problem, your standups suck. Your team may not need them (they may be communicating just fine without them) or may need them to be run differently. You may have too many people in them, implicit or explicit expectations of saying stuff just to have something to say (which contributes to people losing interest and tuning out), you may have multiple barely- or not-at-all connected teams in the same standup (I've seen this! And of course every member of one team tunes completely out when someone from another team is talking) or any number of other problems. Or, again, your team may just not need daily standups because they communicate fine without them.
Good point. We've changed the URL to the Reuters article now. Submitted URL was https://mailbox.org/en/post/european-court-of-justice-overtu.... Thanks!
Still less than half a billion people waiting for that game to arrive so they'll struggle on.
Which is noteworthy since the game development was done allegedly over the span of a few weeks [1] ( and hence it was a flop since it was too rushed ). But I'm wondering how you can - in 1982 - spend 22M on game development over a few weeks? Maybe the licensing costs for the ET brand were the biggest expense there...

Just finished reading through the whole thing. I am curious which part changed your opinion on him? I'll go through my thoughts:

1. I don't think whistleblower protection would have applied anyways since what the government was doing was technically legal.

2. Snowden seems like an asshole and a nightmare to work with, but I don't think that should factor in to the credibility of any arguments he makes which are backed up with sufficient evidence.

3. The biggest thing that changed his perception for me was how much he leaked. It would have been better if he had only gone after documents that pertained to privacy of US citizens.

This seems to be a pretty big gap in marketing across the industry. Everything is either utterly meaningless market-speak[0] or targeted at experts.

Harfbuzz exposes a C API, why would you need to use C++?

Additionally, it works extremely well with GTK 4 via Pango and you can often interoperate between the two layers if you even need to touch a hb_face_t/etc. In fact, the only time I had to mess with Harfbuzz was when integrating GPU-rendered glyphs via Behdad's GLyphy shaders.

I’m not an EE, but I’ve heard plenty of horror stories over the last 2 years where a component is unavailable and an entire new design needs to be configured with new available components only for the redux to take too long and components are unavailable again…

Can someone smarter than me tell me if jitx solves that problem?
Can you give me the gist of why it would be considered harmful?
I think the way more interesting thing in this is buried in the table of correlations for study 3.

- the positive correlation between intelligence and income at 30 is 0.11, and highly significant, p<0.001

- the positive correlation between intelligence and income at 42 is 0.05, highly significant, p<0.001

- the positive correlation between income at 30 and income at 42 is 0.11, highly significant, p<0.001, and this was the strongest correlation of any variable with income at 42.

I.e. what you earn when you're 42 is more tied to what you made more than a decade ago than it is to how smart you are. The strength of that link between income over time is the same strength as the influence of intelligence on income at 30.
Five years back, YouTube didn't have the feature to queue your videos on the fly. You could have created a playlist, but then it is the same sequence of songs every time. So I hacked a chrome extension to add/remove songs to a dynamic queue saved on your LocalStorage[1]. Later, YouTube added the queue feature. Sometimes I go on long hikes and think that it wasn't merely a coincidence. :)

This just prompts more questions, he lauds Allen Dulles:

> Allen Welsh Dulles (/ˈdʌləs/, /ˈdʌlɪs/; April 7, 1893 – January 29, 1969) was the first civilian Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), and its longest-serving director to date. As head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the early Cold War, he oversaw the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, the 1954 Guatemalan coup d'état, the Lockheed U-2 aircraft program, the Project MKUltra mind control program and the Bay of Pigs Invasion. He was fired by John F. Kennedy over the latter fiasco.

So, was he not aware of this stuff, did he think things got worse after him?

Or is this bit ...

> With all the nonsense put out by Communist propaganda about "Yankee imperialism," "exploitive capitalism," "war-mongering," "monopolists," in their name-calling assault on the West, the last thing we needed was for the CIA to be seized upon as something akin to a subverting influence in the affairs of other people.

... basically expressing his own opinions about Dulles and the others, but putting it in the mouths of "Communist propaganda" as a way to reframe the criticism?
tbh I think one of the very few positives of having so many sites going through a few CDNs is that you can make it impossible to block a protocol or site without significant collateral damage, which can be a good thing, things like Tor's meek bridge rely on that.

Yea, related effects are well-established in politics: "elite" voters (esp as measured by education) are more coherent and thus more extremist, while the average voter is all over the map because they're not as interested in (or capable of?) having a coherent model of reality.

I would probably drop what I’m doing to help an acquaintance in those circumstances.

For me, “bring me a pack of cigarettes at 5am because I’m broke and just went through a breakup” would be a high-water mark for “close friends”

I suspect search engines are an outdated concept for at least the largest of sites, who will generally, but not always, have better ways to directly search their own content.

The remainder of the search problem seems to just be collecting relevant trafficked sites for listing in results. Today Google et al seem to be doing this BY HAND. And it's not even obfuscated.

Recently, for the first time in my life, the wizard behind the curtain seems to have been exposed. I feel strongly that one could probably start a small index that catered to a fairly large audience.

And honestly, for other queries, just tell the user to search that site directly. I think you could even market it to users as not a technical limitation, but behavior that should be considered fuddy-duddy.

Like, really, you're going to search me? You know they have their own search right?

Even Yellow Pages faded into obscurity eventually.
That definition is too abstract for me. If there is no deadline, why would one cut scope or drop the task? Conversely, why do I need preemption points to decide to cut scope, change strategy or drop the task? Usually the realization/decision comes naturally during implementation, without needing artificial occasions at constant intervals.
Because the dependencies for hooks have to do with re-rendering the component or recomputing the value, not with the usage of the dependencies themselves. That cannot be inferred by the framework without taking a one-size-fits-all approach that probably fits no one particularly well.
Surely League of Legends and World of Warcraft should be at the top of this list?

Not too bad if you compare the results.

How do you tell there's no corrosion though? You need to at the very least take off any coolers on the card and look at the PCB itself to have some level of confidence that there's no damage, and even then I've seen corrosion sneak under components where you need to pay really close attention to notice it.

If I can inspect a card in person, I would be plenty happy to buy an ex-mining card, but most of these are going to be sold online sight-unseen. This isn't a problem exclusive to mining cards though; people have been selling damaged GPUs as 'working' for years.
Could also be that the marketing cost is included on that one. It was made by one guy in less than one month, so it's certainly not the actual development.

I agree that it is normally wise to keep in mind the power disparity and interconnection between individuals and corporations. (And that not because something is legal you will have a good time)

Yeah, it is easier (both in effort and in future prospects) to keep a low profile. Though I was focusing on legality/acceptability of poaching/leaving as a group.
I’ve already caught their crawler ignoring robots.txt directives on one of my sites, aggressively indexing explicitly excluded information.
That's fair enough. I would imagine managers would like it though :)
Okay, so it's exactly like I said in my first comment you responded to, just with an additional solution for a small subset of people. It still doesn't seem very well thought out to me. I did click the link, but given that I had already mentioned they provided the isos (just without the checksums), I didn't actively search for them there.
There is a difference in being able to write something that runs and writing idiomatic something which uses all the libraries idiomatically that runs.
C is not C++. While they strive for compatibility, I'm pretty sure there are cases where code compiled under a standards conforming C compiler will act differently under a standards conforming C++ compiler. Most C/C++ developers would compile a .cpp file with a C++ compiler if no other information was available.
Personally, having "played" the "game", I'd consider it a tech demo of the millions they've tossed into systems, not a game.
Note that I’m not saying whether or not this is true, only that a comment which links to something like that will generally fare better than one which begs the question.
Those are ridiculously expensive.

> MONTHLY DWELL HOUSE PAYMENT
> $1,577

> Monthly payment assumes line of credit of $389,000 equal to base cost of Dwell House with fixed 4.5% interest rate, a 30-year repayment term, and a 20% down payment

… my mortgage on 5-bedroom, ~1.8K sq ft home on a half acre lot in a small town in the South is <$825.

I understand property values vary widely - that’s why I live where I do - but this is still ridiculous. Consider also that to buy this, you already have to have the land to put it on. The comparison to rentals includes the cost of the property, upkeep, and overhead amortized into it. It’s not a fair comparison.

If you already have land suitable for this, why not just build a small house? The average cost per sq ft in the US is around $100-$150 for new construction. This thing is 532 sq ft; to be competitive with traditional construction it would need to be priced at <$80k…

So odd no-one's eaten his lunch yet. His moat is engine modifications that take more work than indies will do. I guess maybe Starfield from Bethesda will retake the space game genre.
BTW, apart from fixed price online sales, there are fixed priced dealerships. They advertise price on the website and don't negotiate. You just show up and get car at this price. Very smooth.

We use FoundationDB’s transactional key-value interface as the underlying storage engine. This provides us with a low level building block that can scale to peta bytes of data.

The reason it is more than a database is because it provides more than the structured data storage that is provided by databases.

At the core of Tigris is a transactional document database built on FoundationDB. Then Tigris automatically indexes the data so you can run search queries (think Elasticsearch) without having to pipe the data to Elasticsearch. Tigris also provides an integrated event streaming system so that you can build event-driven applications (think Kafka, Google PubSub, etc). The beauty of the event streaming system is that you can then also run search and read queries on the events data automatically.

We have explained the high level architecture here: https://docs.tigrisdata.com/overview/architecture
There is definitely loads to fix and it does sound like the team was inexperienced but they were successful it seems.
Ultimately, I found that basically no one makes any money off Patreon or GitHub Sponsors. I mean statistically. Sure there are big names you and I know of out there, but the income of OnlyFans creators is orders of magnitude higher.

But of course, I doubt they'd ever share the distribution of income for users off those platforms. You'd realize there's no point.
Who is still giving money to this project? I don't have a dog in this fight, I just don't understand what one is paying for at this point.
Partly. Most of the Chinese people have no private property rights.
AMD outsources it to DigitalRiver, NVIDIA has done that in the past but this time they outsourced to BestBuy (with contractual requirements to sell at MSRP). Both BestBuy and AMD take some nominal measures against bots but it's always been a problem for both sites.

> Meanwhile NVIDIA stopped production pre-holiday season last year in an attempt to bolster their company value to 1 trillion dollars. Quite a risky play that didn't pay off [1].

The source for that article MLID and wasn't borne out by actual production numbers. Actually there was a nominal rise in shipments in holiday '21.

https://www.jonpeddie.com/press-releases/q421-sees-a-nominal...

Also, we're currently in a huge glut so obviously there was no availability problem in early Q1 '22 or Q2 '22 either - like, why is pulling back production for 2022 a bad thing, when you're already sitting on a huge stockpile of chips? Were they supposed to keep cranking and make the glut even worse?

People take these techtubers as gospel and a lot of what they say just ends up somewhere between slanted perspective and factually incorrect. But people are willing to believe literally anything as long as it paints NVIDIA in a bad light - just like people went from being absolutely sure that partners were scalping gpus and selling right into mining farms, but then the EVGA CEO says he didn't make any money at all during the mining boom and NVIDIA was capping prices and forcing him to sell at a loss suddenly everyone forgets about the board partners selling $2,000 3080s in their first-party stores. Or the "800-900w TGP" rumors for 4080 that ended up being off by double.

https://videocardz.com/newz/flagship-nvidia-ada-sku-might-fe...

There is just a ton of anti-nvidia sentiment in general and it completely distorts everyone's perception of reality. People will believe any random thing, even if it disagrees with common sense, or their own personal observations, as long as it scratches that "green man bad" itch. And there is a whole little cottage industry of people like MLID and kopite7kimi who thrive on catering to it for clicks. Once those negative frames get started, they don't go away, even if the information used to construct them later turns out to be false.

But people rushing to the defense of poor board partners who say they didn't make any money at all during the crypto boom, heck we actually lost money really takes the cake imo, like that's either actual goldfish-tier memory or massive "green man bad" brain, take your pick. They're the ones who handle sales of all the mining cards too - NVIDIA doesn't run that directly either, it's all partners.

How does this compare against the similar Privacy Redirect? https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect
The main problem of course, and it isn’t limited to Cloudflare and I won’t pretend to have the solution, is that if you are caught in this kind of web, you have no recourse but go public and hope the spotlight lands on you. For every problem we see in an upvoted post there’s tons that nobody sees.
"Real" is a bit of a floating target. Cloud Imperium Games has done a good job at delivering small chunks of demo software, but the actual promise of Star Citizen is still a good ways out. If you've ever worked at a professional software company, it's immediately apparent that they aren't building much of anything when you read through their changelogs. They have 500 million dollars, plenty to hire dozens of the best full-time developers for decades to come. Instead, their team seemingly spends the majority of their time building more-and-more stretch goals, and funding their development by announcing even more stretch goals. It's a vicious cycle, and one that's gone on far too-long without having real content to show for it.

The actual gameplay of Star Citizen is fine, but not unprecedented. I've played on a couple occasions (friend's accounts), and it does play like other hardcore space-sim games. Again though - when it comes to 'things to do', you'll run out of content within an hour. It promises Eve Online-style digital politics and dogfighting, and what you get is an unfinished space insurance simulator.

Here's a fun experiment, compare the changelogs of No Man's Sky and Star Citizen, and tell me which one is getting more meaningful content updates:

- Star Citizen: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/patch-notes

- No Man's Sky: https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/

There are test servers that can (poorly) handle a few dozen people and have little to no gameplay loop, but the game that was actually advertised and that still isn't done yet was a single-player campaign in the style of Wing Commander plus a space MMO similar to Elite Dangerous.

I'm sorry. I have a colleague based out of Venezuela. We've had to work together to get tunnels and vpns configured so that he can get uncensored and secure internet access.

But Tor is an enormous source of abusive traffic and if I don't filter it, then that's harmful to site owners. I'm being forced to choose between the needs of people that I know, work with, and depend on financially, and the needs of people in countries with issues that are far outside my ability to resolve. It's not a hard decision.
