they're setting prices high (and delaying the launch of the mainstream and lower-tier cards) because they have huge stockpiles of Ampere chips they need to burn through. Launch the stuff at the top to get the sales from the whales (VR, enthusiast gaming, etc) who are willing to pay for performance and delay the lower cards that would compete with your ampere inventory.

It's the Turing strategy all over again - when you have a stockpile of older cards, you don't make your new cards too attractive. And yes, they also have a big TSMC allocation too - but they gotta get rid of the Ampere stuff first, the longer it sits the more it will have to be marked down, launching new cards that obsolete the inventory they're trying to sell would just make things worse.

AMD is going to be doing the same thing - they pushed back the midrange Navi 33 and will be launching only the high-end Navi 31 until that miner inventory burns through a bit. Similarly to NVIDIA, that likely implies they'll be launching at a high price, they'll undercut NVIDIA by $100 or $200 or something and take the margins but they're not gonna be the heroes of the $700 market either.

The EVGA thing is a tempest in a teapot though, the losses he's talking about are something that's happened in the last month (he supposedly decided to quit back at the start of the year) and not representative of the (large, 10x normal) margins that board partners have been making in recent years. I personally didn't see much evidence of "price caps" with partner's first-party storefronts selling 3080s at 2.50-3x FE MSRP either.

And yes, jensen is an asshole and being a partner is a low-margin business, everyone already knows that.

EVGA is losing money because of some of it's CEO's ridiculous prestige side-projects (custom motherboards, enthusiast monitors, video capture cards that turned out to be falsely advertised, pcie sound cards, etc) and generous warranty support (long and transferable with absurdly cheap extended warranties) coupled with a higher-than-average failure rate (because they contract out assembly) and a generally lower-than-industry margin (because they contract out assembly) and they're just being drama queens on the way out.

You're looking at it all wrong. From Cloudflare's point of view, this kind of blocking is a feature. Anyone doing legitimate web crawling, or offering alternative web services such as Starlink, now needs Cloudflare's permission.

Essentially, for a broad class of web-based businesses, they have made themselves gatekeepers. I'm sure they'll find a profitable use for this position. Charging outright would look bad, but investing in businesses that just happen to not run into Cloudflare-based trouble, but whose competitors do...

Vue has been my favorite since Vue 2. It hits the right balance for me between the opinionated Angular and "you figure it out" React. It does what I want a JS framework to do: binds values and renders views with minimal setup (computed properties solve so many common problems).

Also, it has amazing ESLint rules that really help keep all your code aligned and following best practices.
There are limited number of humans on the planet, most of which YouTube already reached. So the only other way to increase ad revenue is to increase number of ads per user. This is a short term tactic though as there will be a point where this will have diminishing and even opposite outcomes.
The economics are simple: capex + opex. As long as you have an idea of ROI and can lower the cap+op as much as possible, you're making money. Otherwise, you're buying the coin directly.

You can't run the cards at high temps or they crash. They also have built in thermal protection where they shut down at about 85c (depends on the settings).

Miners also undervolt/underclock the cards. Lower power is better for opex in the equation above. =) This means they aren't run as hard as you might think. ethash as an algo is also memory hard, so the GPU portion isn't 100% at all. That's why older cards are still in use and more ROI efficient.

> feels like so many people actually writing in React are just effing CRAZY

Same here. We had an experienced-but-batshit-crazy dev create a React site with approximately 250,000 LOC to support 3 forms with a max of 4 simple inputs and a 3-column data table view. To this day it makes my head spin how it is even theoretically possible to write that much code for so little functionality - much less _actually do it_. And don't even get me started on how unmaintainable it is - IIRC I tried to update the string content of an error message once and it required changing something like 57 lines in 10 files (or maybe it was 1 line in 57 different files? something like that...).
For the majority of games, no it doesn't matter at all. For a small number of games, it's not hard to eat up all the VRAM with certain settings and especially with 4K gaming. I use a 1440p monitor so it doesn't really matter that much to me, but it does matter more to people who spend a lot on good 4K displays.
I don't understand how YouTube justifies $15/month when it's not much more than a video hosting service. Netflix is priced similarly and it spends billions generating its own content PLUS hosting the content.

Don't leave now -- definitely take advantage of any family leave they offer first. But then after that, why can't you quit? Why can't you look for another job? It seems like that's something that you _must_ do -- if not for yourself, then for the sake of your kid.

Don't learn to be a fast talker. It seems like you can write well enough, so I'm guessing you think well too. Learn to be comfortable with gaps in the conversation while you consider what you're going to say. You don't have to respond immediately to every question.

Also, the cost of one of these replacement projects is about $80 million over 3 years plus 10-20 million a year maintenance. Averaged over 10 years, this about 2-5 times the cost of the old systems, depending on how you want to count.
Indeed, lit is fantastic.

Don't call yourself a react dev, it's unlikely this framework will be around in 10 years time (see what was popular in frontend dev 10 years ago). Call yourself a developer and try to learn the core tech, if you're a web developer that means javascript and html.

All these libraries are built on JS, understanding JS is the safest bet you can make.

Is this even possible or useful? I mean there are obvious things but they're so obvious and generalized as to be seemingly useless when you are at a serious stage in starting a company. It kind of reminds me of when people talking about something being "priced in" in the market as a related concept.

What do you mean by this? If I (a dictator) were to hold an election but require 90% approval to unseat me, that would be a "legitimate" process because it includes voting?

Do you not understand what I am saying?

> What about protesting the system by not voting, does that do anything?

Arguably yes. Afghanistan's state legitimacy collapsed as basically fewer than 10% of people voted in any of it's elections and then the government fell.

I'd say you've heard very wrong. If your concern is maximizing your income I'd highly recommend not going the mainframe route. The only people commanding SF/NYC gargantuan salaries will be old guard who retired to do contracting and get brought on to un-fuck situations at incredibly high rates under short term contract. IME you're likely to see MAYBE 80-100k as a midlevel COBOL dev as you're competing primarily against offshored pay - I would expect bootcamp front end devs to make as much or more than COBOL devs.

Also as others have insinuated, COBOL itself isn't a challenge (nor PL1 or HLASM or any other language really), it's the zOS/360 mainframe environment, understanding the nuance behind how all these disparate systems work together, being a JCL wizard, knowing all the IBM yellow books off the top of your head from 40 years of working in the industry, understanding how to use IBM IMS db efficiently, etc. Also the entire ecosystem of stuff you might take for granted, like IDEs/debuggers/deployment/etc, are all quite ancient on zOS systems and take years to get proficient in.
It charges while driving at about 5 miles of range per hour at best i.e. at noon, without clouds, near the equator.

In other words if you drive it faster than 5 mph in ideal conditions you're losing energy. If you drive it at 40 mph the solar panels are basically irrelevant. The panels are only really useful while the car is parked. This is the case for all "solar powered" electric cars.
I don't think there was anything artificial with demand... Just somewhat combining demand from limited other spending and mining.

For Nvidia it made no sense not to produce as many ships as they could.
So the 4090 is 38% faster (in FP32 FLOPS) than the current top server GPU (H100) and 105% faster than the current top desktop GPU (3090 Ti). And it's also more than twice as efficient (in FLOPS per watt) as all current top GPUs, even compared to the H100 which is manufactured on the same TSMC 4N process. This is impressive.

The computing power of these new GPUs (in FP32 TFLOPS) is as below:

Nvidia RTX 4090: 82.6 TFLOPS (450 watts¹)
Nvidia RTX 4080-16GB: 48.8 TFLOPS (320 watts¹)
Nvidia RTX 4080-12GB: 40.1 TFLOPS (285 watts¹)

Compared to Nvidia's current top server and top desktop GPUs:

Nvidia H100 (SXM card): 60.1 TFLOPS (700 watts)
Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti: 40.0 TFLOPS (450 watts)

Compared to AMD's current top server and top desktop GPUs:

AMD Instinct MI250X: 47.9 TFLOPS (560 watts)
AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: 23.7 TFLOPS (335 watts)

¹ I didn't see the wattage listed in this page by Nvidia; my source is https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/nvidia-rtx-4090-rtx-...
In terms of globalization supply chain, the west has similar power utilizations.

US has much larger homes and drives far more inefficiently due to individual vehicle usage instead of mass transit.

Reducing those by 6x would be a huge change.
Sorry, what are the prices exactly? When I attempt to buy I just get an option to be notified. Do I need to sign up just to see the price?
I bought a 1060 for 300€ in the mining boom in 2017 and later switched to an RX580 for 100€ (sold and bought). Now I'm thinking of buying a new GPU if the prices are down enough for me to justify it.

The RX580 just isn't enough for my 1440p@144Hz E.g. I had to use FSR 1.0 with Ghostrunner to achieve the 100+ fps I want. And that just doesn't look good enough. For my Steam Deck 40Hz is fine, since I play with joysticks.
Meanwhile I've had to change the oil in cars where it's more of a chore than changing the screen on an iPhone. Just because you have the right to repair doesn't mean you have the expertise to do it.

So not a realistic option, then.
"I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so. However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make the game more exciting... with advances in token economies, users will be provided with explicit incentives... this will lead to more people devoting themselves to such efforts and to greater possibilities of games growing in exciting ways. From having fun to earning to contributing"

You weren't kidding. They really want people as grunt workers in the virtual world. I guess that's why they are trying to remove any association with the words 'games' and 'fun'.
Israel has quite a serious problem with looting of antiquities. I was talking to an archaeologist a few months ago and suggested adopting something like the UK's Treasure Act so that people who find artefacts have a way of legally being paid for them and was met with blank incomprehension.
Ask HN: Impossible to serve web page over blueooth?
I want to have a local device that will serve web apps to my Android browser over bluetooth or wifi *while my Android is still connected to normal wifi or mobile data*.

I have thought about trying local http proxies over bluetooth serial, the new web bluetooth standards, intercepting xhr in native Android code to send requests over serial, wifi direct, wifi regular mode but w/o route to internet, serving the app over lte so my android connects to it through the internet.

All of these are brittle hacks that have unintended consequences (e.g. can connect to wifi regular mode w/o default gateway but then it only connects to lte, web bluetooth isn't a request/response model, have to build framing to proxy multiple requests over bluetooth serial).

Has anyone done this and it worked??
I definitely remember a bunch of democrats being convinced that 2004 was stolen. Amusingly enough, they blamed Diebold too.

2000 is probably the one for which the strongest case exists, but people don't care about that one anymore.
Absolutely; for instance one wonders if the LaGuardia team user-tested the handicapped bathroom stalls or merely designed them to code?

If you're about to have a kid, and your work knows this, they would be somewhat less likely to fire you. You've given them 10 years, and if they fire you right before you take your first parental leave, it looks bad for them.

Of course, if they can document reasons why they're letting you go, they can still do it. But if you start asking questions and indicate that you're looking at getting a lawyer to review the termination agreement they offer, they would probably get nervous and make a better offer.

> Would you use another JVM language over Java if you were starting a new project?

no. I'm never a fan of anything like typescript or Kotlin where it's transpiled (yes i know Kotlin is compiled down to JVM byte code) end up dealing with more headaches and troubleshooting in the end.
> But in the winter, you'd want to allow that radiant energy through, which the low-e glass is not doing.

Low-E glass reduces inside heat radiating to the outside, too. You can find many articles online discussing the advantages during winter/heating season if you look.

I tested a couple years with/without a tinting film on my west-facing windows (under mini-blinds) and noticed a very, very small increase in winter heating costs, with a big decrease in summer cooling costs, and more consistent temperatures throughout the day in both seasons, which is a benefit in itself (you can use a lower-capacity HVAC system). I suspect a proper upgrade to low-E windows (or at least tinting ALL my windows) would have done much better.
Do you have any idea about where these were kept? Not all mining operations are commercial-like white rooms with people going around in sealed suits. Maybe someone had half a dozen cards in his chicken coop, exposed to dust and moisture and energy fluctuations. You will never know. Would you happily buy that at say, 50% MSRP?
> Why this matters

> Today’s world is defined by the digital exchange of media and information. Everything from news to entertainment to conversations with loved ones typically happens via digital exchanges.

First off, it sounds like a very stressful time for you. I hope it all works out.

As everyone else suggested, parental leave may give you a bit of time to recover. Your job may also offer unpaid leave you can take on top of that, if you can afford it.

Now might be a time to think creatively about how to move forward with your life. Sometimes, I've gotten boxed in by my own assumptions of what I should be doing. When I've been able to take a much broader perspective of what's possible, and accept that my idealized view of my life isn't materializing, I've been able to accept the opportunities that are in front of me and find a lot of joy and success outside of my original plans for myself. And over time, that has taken be way beyond what I could have imagined.

Do you or your partner have any family you can lean on? If you're able to eliminate housing expenses, would you be able to take some time to recover from burnout and find your next gig?

When I've read biographies of some of the most celebrated people of the past couple years, a large number of them talk about periods where someone had dealt with nervous breakdown. Not saying that's what you're dealing with, but just that mental health issues can affect anyone BUT they need not constrain your whole future.

As a father, one thing that might bring you a little comfort is that if the baby is healthy, the learning curve to being a dad is very gradual. In the beginning, it's true that it's hard to come by long stretches of sleep, but the things you need to master are very limited. Changing diapers, basic newborn safety stuff, soothing, and helping with nursing/feeding.
I don't recall that at all. It was true for Tzero, the vehicle from AC Propulsion that inspired the Roadster (and provided the very initial, but broken electronics). Tesla has never promoted hybrid propulsion.
