It’s actually a 2x performance per watt increase. The 450w power consumption of the top card is the same as the previous generation’s top card, 3090ti.

Why decrease overall power consumption of the top of the line cards? PSUs and cooling can handle it and it’s for the customer that wants top performance. There are plenty of other cards in the line at lower total wattage with a good performance per watt.

I think you need an RTX 40 series card to create the mods, but can play them on any ray tracing card. Although who knows what the ray tracing performance will be like on a 2060.

I had a PS5. I sold it after playing a few exclusives because there was just nothing else to play. Games are more expensive on consoles than PC, no mods, have to pay to play online, and so on.

Plus, the very fact that it's a general purpose computer I can use for work, programming, and cool GPU stuff like Stable Diffusion are what made me get a PC over a console. In other words, I'm gonna need a computer anyway, why not get one that can play games over getting a computer or laptop and also a games console that doesn't do everything as well as a gaming PC?

I'm sure in the long term one would actually spend less on a PC than a console, given all these constraints.

I will echo what all the guys have said, as the mother of a toddler: paternity leave is the best gift you can give your child, your partner, and even yourself those first few months. I don't know what I would have done had my husband not been off work those first few weeks.

Those hacks work but in practice I wouldn't classify them as "good". You end up having to look at a ton of types including in library code like React and etc that can be quite complex. Having to stop and try to wrap those on the fly is terrible ergonomics.

Doesn't sound fun at all. I wonder what the employee attrition level is.

Maybe everyone is happy with this (or don't question it), I certainly wouldn't be. :shrug:

Unless it's not clear, remember people leave employment because of bosses rather than the company.
“Focus is doubly important for early stage startups, because not only do they have a hundred different problems, they don't have anyone to work on them except the founders. If the founders focus on things that don't matter, there's no one focusing on the things that do.”

Paul hits the nail on the head with this.

I like to think of this as the idea of everything is not for you. It’s very important to know what the goal is and ignore every other thing that does not align with it.

The article below helps provide a framework of focus and the idea that everything is not for you.

If any Spotify devs are here, please let me explore and add songs, artists and albums to my library without “hearting” it.

I often just want to follow up later by “adding to my library,” and it feels weird to “LOVE” it before ever hearing it.
I really feel pain when I hear something terrible that I’ve already “liked” and consider the impacts to my algorithm.

Please distinguish between “like” and “save.”

A simple “plus sign” or really any other symbol that signifies “adding to a collection” without “liking” connotations (stars are out too).
I index sites all the time and I think it could work. There will be other problems, of course, but we already are partly there with XML sitemaps. Relying on the large search engines to enforce “honesty” from websites puts them into a mediator role that has a number of negative effects both for search in general and, increasingly, society at large.
I tend to agree with this, I prefer the way Svelte make the not HTML/JS/CSS bits really stand out but it's definately just a personal preference. I don't really care about the "it's not JS" argument, people are happy to use typescript without that compaint so it feels rather arbitrary.
My understanding is that it's similar to a car, changing state (starting/stopping) is much more damaging that running the same thing, at the same temperature/voltage for extended period of time.

This has been tested and, no, the location doesn’t make a difference to the necessary power output on a bike. Weight is weight as far as the system is concerned.

Another thing that might come into play is simply holding the backpack on your back. If you put that same weight on a saddle bag or frame bag, your power output won’t need to change but you’re not constantly carrying it physically on your back.
Mozilla had multiple documents first, by just following Windows' MDI standard.

Then Netscape and IE got into a war for mindshare, and part of that was to ignore MDI and splash their browser windows all over the taskbar instead, to be more visible and grab more user attention.

Tabbed browsing was never a new invention, it was just a re-implementation of what we already had by way of MDI.

> Later 68000 NuBUS TI-UNIX systems were developed when MIPS and ARM were both visible. What were they thinking?

Inexpensive unix workstations for running established and embedded applications. Also, they developed a lot of chips and designs for certain other large 68k+nubus players, so it certainly wasn't just throwing money into a one-and-done pit.

BTW, whatever they were thinking was correct, because afaik those TI1500 machines were profitable for them.

You are very likely mistaking normal HN herd behaviour - plenty of people are going to think bullshit to “unused hydro”.

Also “Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.” and “Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.” - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If you assume that HN is full of good people, and respond accordingly, you will learn more and have more fun. If you assume HN is full of bad people causing trouble, why would you stick around? Good communities are built upon trusting cooperators and learning the valid signals of trust.
I'm not convinced either way yet. We're just now starting to crack this problem open.

Intuitively it seems like we could represent stable 3D positions and geometry that then passes through a separate shading stage.

Use a model to replace only the engine and game logic itself. Faster physics and rules than a physics engine. Much less human engineering needed to build a final product.

Add a final pass through an ML upscaler for photorealism or cartoon crispness.

I'd gamble 50-50 that this is an existential risk to Epic Games. I'd also gamble 50-50 that we see this in five years.

I’ve always found this whole line of thought strange, from both sides.

I’m a capitalist to the core, but I have no problem with the ideas of renting things that are cheaper to rent than to buy, or with “eating bugs”. Alternative protein sources are pretty interesting to me, actually. Every dollar I can cut from my cost of living is a dollar I can use to buy assets - and to me, an “asset” is something that either produces income or appreciates at a rate above the cost of maintenance.

If I were a collectivist, what’s the advantage of trying to force either of those things on people - or even to incentivize it? Why would I care how people feel about their food and property? I’d want to change the structure of society itself to provide more obvious value in public services than the free market provides privately. Angering people by imposing things on them - especially if that imposition is easily assigned to the things I’d want to grow, like the government - would be extremely counter-productive.
«are something inherent in the system that can’t be avoided»

Firstly they aren't inherent. Losses can be minimized. But you don't seem to care, even though losses account for orders of magnitude more energy waste than mining. Your position is illogical.

Secondly, this isn't only about transmission losses. The link explains, for example, that some of this waste comes from incandescent light bulbs that waste 90% of electricity as heat. Again, logically you should be "horrified" by this, but you aren't because media doesn't write click-baity articles about incandescent light bulbs "boiling oceans".
A standard Rust program has full access to any filesystem, network, etc resources that the user running the program has. WASM sandboxes these resources by default, only giving the program access to exactly what you explicitly allow at runtime.
This is invaluable whenever someone links to a Twitter thread here and I don't want to spend the effort dodging sign-up modals and piecing together 30 fragments of what would just be a normal paragraph on any other site.
If you have a look at the bottom of the discussion in that link:

> The redirect-rule= filter option is also not compatible with DNR redirect action due to differing matching algorithm. In uBO, redirect filters do not compete with block/allow filters, as the redirect directives are looked up only after a network request has been matched to a block filter, whichever that is. This works differently in the DNR matching algorithm, redirect rules compete with other block and allow rules.

> The no-large-media-elements feature can't be implemented as this requires to inspect response headers on the fly.

> There is no concept of exception modifier filters in DNR, i.e. csp=/removeparam= exceptions cannot be accurately translated to DNR rules. For a specific example, all the removeparam= filter exceptions from AdGuard URL Tracking Protection, meant to override the main $removeparam=utm_source filter, can't be converted to DNR. At best, those exception filters maybe could be less accurately be excepted using the excludedRequestDomains property of the main $removeparam=utm_source filter.

These issues are all fixable by acting as proxy and inspecting/modifying/replacing requests on the fly (in sync/blocking mode).
It's definitely a comparative underdog regardless, but if you think Alphabet spends anywhere near 40% on search you're out of your mind. I'd be shocked if their spend is double-digits. I'd be unsurprised if it's <1%.
Imagine a world where bandwidth constraints meant transmitting a hidden compressed representation that gets expanded locally by smart TVs that have pretrained weights baked into the OS. Everyone sees a slightly different reconstitution of the same input video. Firmware updates that push new weights to your TV result in stochastic changes to a movie you've watched before.
They did, but DEC already had MIPS/Ultrix workstations on the market that beat the living daylights out of any 68k machine.

ARM-1 tapped out in 1985. No excuse really.
The fan curves though kinda suck for the default nvidia drivers - especially on the blower it will run them super low to try to make it silent (which is not very efficient heat wise) and then not start spinning it up until it is really under load. Whereas there is a level that is barely an increase in perceptible noise that cools the GPU significantly more and for many mid range loads will not end up with with the GPU temp (and the fan) going through lots of highs and lows.
Out of curiosity, what's the url for your website, and from what IP or host do their crawlers connect?
I find that it usually sticks around long enough. But I agree that it should stay open at least until I interact with something else.

On the bright side it just collapses into a "key" icon in the URL bar that you can click to open it back up and save the password.
BTW definitely wouldnt recommend jsx it for something like a digital design
/ verilog replacement. Hard for me to reason even to myself why I would treat that differently to discrete component domain...
Why?

There is a lot of uncertainty in this kind of highly ambitious projects, but the money is used to pay skilled people to build something that could be great.

What is wrong with that? This is some kind of gambling, but nobody is forced, and I expect that most of the backers are aware that they are not getting the money back.

I find it much more objectionable to see people sinking money into crypto or NFTs, as the work output of those is simply no-existent.
The original OLTP/OLAP dichotomy was based on architectural tradeoffs required for spinning disk and the way indexes worked. Especially at the time Vertica was created, the OLTP-ness of PostgreSQL was essentially hardcoded into the architecture. Vertica made a lot of changes, e.g. to storage behavior, to support their use case that would have significantly impacted OLTP performance. A complicated query that mixes NSM and DSM tables would be unreasonably complex since the query building blocks are different depending on the type of storage.

This trade off doesn't really need to exist in a SQL database today on modern hardware with its extremely high storage bandwidth. There are other models that can satisfy both OLTP and OLAP use cases satisfactorily in a single coherent system with modern internals. The SQL database market is extremely conservative, so even if you built it no one would adopt it for a decade.
I feel like this whole thing is mischaracterizing funding for cost.

They are not the same and Star Citizen's cost, I think, is mostly unknown.

Saying that they've raised 500 million (funding) isn't the same as saying 500 million has been spent on development (cost).

Interesting - going to look into this - do you set custom fan curves at all? Wondering basically if I can use a command like this to set a ceiling on wattage and then a second command to set an increased lower limit on fan speed.
Is there an intellectually honest response to the notion that products like this, at one level, centralize rather than decentralize vitally sensitive information and therefore (1) increase the vulnerability of the customer and (2) paint a big red X on the target, thus incentivizing a higher investment of resources and time for hackers to compromise the product? I want to read that, and I want not to read some snarky idiom-of-non-argument response to that point.
They were also producing SPARC chips for Sun by this point.

Why on earth choose 68k when the entire market saw SPARC wiping the floor with CISC?

EDIT: If Wikipedia is right, Fujitsu made the original SPARC v7 (MB86900) chips starting in 1986; T.I. didn't start SPARC manufacture until 1992 with a SPARC v8 (SPARCStation 10).
Then you need to deal with levels of rate-limiting that are fine for individuals but make it not feasible for spammers.

Keeping with the cloudflare topic, if Cloudflare only permits you 10 requests per second (HTML + JS/images) that's still usable for web browsing, but someone running a cloud of hundreds of bots would be effectively shut down. Similarly with email, an individual probably doesn't need to send more than one email per 10 seconds but email spammers wouldn't find any ROI at that rate - business needs being different might necessitate a different registry or something in that case.

Lol, you really think someone is going to stray off the well-supported path for apps like these for 1-10% gain? This app shows a loading indicator quite a lot. Speed is important but nobody cares about raw speed this much. What we care about is a well-maintained library with significant ecosystem that's still going to be there in 2030 and it's super-easy to find devs and/or get help. The libs there are beta quality at best - maybe in few years.
Gaming-wise, I think the 3090 struggles at 8k and 4k 144hz gaming, which is very high end gaming experience and people that spend the money on those monitors will spend the money on the 4090.

For other purposes (like scientific computing/ml), while 3090 can do a lot of things that 4090 does, it's half the speed (or even slower) and a lot less energy efficient, say 1x4090 = 2x3090, 4090 uses 450W, dual 3090 uses 700W, of course you can power limit both of them further, but you still get best bang for your buck out of the 4090.

I think the L4/L5 debate can be greatly helped by people realizing that the majority of human drivers on the road are not L5-capable. A sizeable chunk are L3s and not many are L5s. The way it works is that people simply don't go out in conditions they don't feel comfortable in (snowsquals, etc) and will never attempt areas they think are beyond them (comfortably driving in suburbia, but never attempting to drive in NYC, not renting a car abroad, etc)

The bar for autonomous cars is not "is it superhuman" but merely "is it useful enough at the given price". Thus to make a massive impact, you could have a cheap L3, an expensive L4 and L5s need never appear (although, I am personally pretty sure they will).

The question to ask is, how many people do you know that will refuse to drive in SF, or lack the ability to do it trouble-free for 1hr? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a5fUrjn0Hw
Quoting gorhill from a GitHub conversation:

"Side note about the experimental uBO Minus MV3 extension: I did not pick the Minus part out of spite, it's to make clear that this is not uBO proper and I want to be sure there is no expectation that this will be the case. I picked Minus for the same reason that the Plus in Adblock Plus was to highlight that this was an improvement over the previous Adblock version.

Now the fact that uBO Minus does not require broad read/modify data on all websites can be seen as an improvement over uBO proper by many people who are uncomfortable with granting such broad permissions to an extension. In that case, if you have a better qualifier than Minus, I welcome suggestions."
