Well here is my recent experience: my daughter's cheap Lenovo laptop broke, after three years of college. It served her well except for one thing: this new game "Stray" (on steam) requires something better than Intel integrated graphics to work.

Anyway, so new laptop is HP "Victus" for $1100. It includes Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti, so now she can play Stray. It seems like a good deal: 512 GB SSD, Core i7, 16 GB RAM.

The laptop is all fan :-) She discovered that it quickly overheats if you put it on the bed (blocks the vents on the bottom). Also the battery drains real-fast when using the GPU. Also the power brick is larger.
If I were an unethical data scientist working at Tinder, I would actually reserve the best matches until later in the period, after the initial flurry of "visibility" subsides a bit. That way you are less likely to immediately find a good date or two in the first few matches, helping to ensure that you will not just unsubscribe next month, while providing you with enough tantalizing options that you think it makes sense to keep going. "Great matches started coming up, I had better renew so I don't lose out!"

It's like a slot machine that actively adjusts the odds as you play, in order to keep you hooked as long as possible.

I'm pretty solidly mediocre when it comes to "algorithm design" tasks like this one, so I thought of it you can bet for sure that someone at Tinder did too.
I feel like that's just being human, not a weakness. Thy are exploiting humanities desire to form relationships.

You can request IPv6 addresses from a RIR, but that won't last forever either, and nobody will visit your site, not even the search engines. People wouldn't be even able to open it for long, since most browsers are going to require SSL, and who knows what other changes are coming in the future that require a domain name.

I believe the vast majority of people who work in Open Source graphics are actually employed to do so. There are very few people working without compensation, and once they do a handful of meaningful contributions they get offered jobs. We should be actually thankful to the for-profit companies sponsoring those people instead of investing in more closed-source stuff (Intel, AMD, Collabora, Igalia, Red Hat, Code Weavers, VMware, and a few dozen of others I am missing, heck even NVidia contributes to Open Source graphics, although not as much as we would like them to).
And that may work for btrfs, but again at some cost:

"When you enable nocow on your files, Btrfs cannot compute checksums, meaning the integrity against bitrot and other corruptions cannot be guaranteed (i.e. in nocow mode, Btrfs drops to similar data consistency guarantees as other popular filesystems, like ext4, XFS, ...). In RAID modes, Btrfs cannot determine which mirror has the good copy if there is corruption on one of them."[0]

I think about this a lot. My site is now 28 years old [1], older than wikipedia or google or even slashdot. People still read the gamedev pages, and I still update them. Coincidentally, I was just writing some notes on this topic last week [2].

1. Hosting. I was lucky in that Stanford gave me a place to put pages. I think it was more common back then for universities to do this. Now I have a domain name which I register for 10 years at a time. But that's not going to last 30 years after I pass away. And even if I had the domain name, my server (currently AWS) won't stay up if I don't pay the monthly bills. My Stanford pages will stay up longer than my RedBlobGames pages.

2. Compatibility. Use tech that's been around for a long time. Static HTML is best. JPG or GIF, not WebP etc. My older pages don't use Javascript but my newer pages do, and they do require occasional maintenance. I've also had to update things to make my pages work with mobile and HTTPS.

3. Dependencies. Don't link to external resources like fonts, scripts, images, etc. Everything should be on the same site, because you don't know that other sites will stick around.

4. Archivability. Test the pages on Internet Archive to make sure they work there. Most of mine do. A few of mine don't, and I'm working to fix that. I think once your domain name expires, it's the archives that will have the only copies, so you want to make sure your pages can be mirrored/archived.

In addition to the "30 years after the author passes away" problem, I also want to update my pages over time. For example, in August I updated a page that I had written in 1997. I try to minimize external build dependencies. The common build tools in use today are unlikely to still work long into the future. I have some of my own build scripts that I can keep working. For longevity I use "old" tech as much as possible (bash, python) and stay away from nicer newer languages and tools.

2) That is a great idea. Right now we default the title to the URL if a user doesn't input a title. Your suggestion is superior, will look into this.

3) This is something we have considered, but isn't currently on our road map. Right now we are looking at making Linkidex a great productivity tool as opposed to yet another social network.

Like I said, don't take it the wrong way, I've been snobbish, too. I spent a lot of money over the years chasing the "best" gaming experience. I've seen VR come and go since Sega's VR Shades that never made it to market.

You've got to consider that there are many tiers of gamers out there. Not very many are going to spend the thousands needed to get a top-shelf VR experience. If the only VR headsets out there require a huge (for many) investment, VR will always be a niche product. 2% of Steam gamers have a VR headset.[1] These are, arguably, savvy, more hardcore gamers than the average person, and it's still only 2%!

60% of those VR headset owners have an Oculus, 14% have an Index, 7% have a Vive. Price wins, like it or not.

Depends on where you live and what age your dating pool is.
Maybe I'm just socially inept, but I have never once managed to meet someone at a bar that wasn't already part of some bigger group that I was with.

Edit: that's actually untrue, there are exactly 2 instances where it happened in my life. They were in the kinds of bars that I would usually avoid (too many drunk people shouting over loud music), in areas far from where I lived, that had pretty strong "going out" cultures.

Edit 2: now that I think about it, I'm not exactly dashing handsome. I've historically done a lot better in "house party" type of settings, but again that's with people who are already friends of friends.

I couldn't find my original stuff but ...

Dr. Jeffrey Hillman, previously of Oragenics. Looks like he retired just after we corresponded, no surprise there. He had a version of strepococcus mutans that not only did not dump lactic acid (the mechanism behind dental caries), but also secreted MU1140, helping it out-compete the "bad" strepococcus mutans in your mouth. Well, it's still in the pipeline, maybe, at https://www.oragenics.com/news-media/press-releases/detail/3... ... but right now you can still get Probiora3, which is more of a probiotic for your mouth, kind of the more viable piece, since a one-time treatment replacing bacteria is a little scary to some.

Hope this helps.

Indeed, but as The Onion argued in its recent amicus brief to the US Supreme Court, there is often social value in saying false things "with a straight face": https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-293/242292/2022...

I removed the point about today since I haven't been dating in a few years, but I stand by the 2010 comment, you could find a few female stars being openly bisexual for example but it was incredibly rare for male stars, which is indicative of how hot it was perceived at the time.

This is not a comparable scenario. Presuming you wish to live in a given locale for the remainder of your years, having a civilized, educated, and literate workforce available to you is surely preferred to not having one.

> Another thought experiment:

This is a waste of time thought experiment. Healthcare professionals triage all the time. Society prioritizes various goals all the time. The US could be spending the entire military budget to develop healthcare treatments, but it does not, for myriad reasons. In real life, the 5 year old has died in the past due to lack of sufficient resources, and will continue to die. It does not matter if it is ethical or unethical, politically, it will be unpopular to sacrifice a whole community’s access to healthcare so one 5 year old can live.

In any case, bringing up unrelated examples does not advance discussions.

Seriously though, this seems like an area where anti-trust and transparency regulation (service X has a Y rating for producing matches that meet standard Q) could play a useful role.
IMO photorealistic immersive rendering just makes the limited unrealistic behaviors more jarring. It feels more like broken reality than a realistic fantasy.

Why is it ‘wasted’? Those things are mostly free on modern hardware.

The challenge with your thesis here is that the only one who can know what is ‘that important’ is YOU, and your decision making and communication bandwidth is already the limiting factor.

For many users, that cat video would be heartbreaking to lose, and they don’t have term papers to worry about.

So having to decide or think what is or is not ‘important enough’ to you, and communicate that to the system, just makes everything slower than putting everything on a system good enough to protect the most sensitive and high value data you have.
If your problem is concentration, then you have to start your solution at scale. It's no wonder that starting small leads to consolidation.

Do you think the purpose of prison is primarily to rehabilitate prisoners into society or to give just, deserved punishment for offenses to society?
If you agree with the former, then making conditions better than the legal baseline could humanize the prison population and increase their chances and motivation to reassimilate themselves into society.
If you agree with the latter, then I don't see a good argument for bettering the conditions of prisoners.
From a basic utilitarian standpoint, it seems very clear that policy guided by the the rehabilitation principle will result in better outcomes than policy guided by the punishment principles.
Match has turned all of its apps into tinder. That is, gambling-like "one more swipe" photo centric dating apps, where the artificial restriction of choice keeps every person starved. Tinder is casual hookups, okcupid is leftist tinder for relationships, Hinge is politically moderate tinder for traditionalists, and so on. Each is a different marketing segment, but the same basic idea that gets men to pay to meet women.
They're not surveys, and that's exactly the point. Surveys reveal how people claim to behave, which may nor not be how they actually think they behave, which may or may not be how they actually behave.

If they were surveys, your criticism would be valid.

Instead, this was about how people actually behave, so neither fooling themselves nor others.
That's highly dependent on your local electricity and gas prices. A quick google search tells me residential electricity in Germany costs about 2-3x what it does where I live in the northwest US. We're on mostly government owned hydro power and electric prices have been stable for a long time, meanwhile gas keeps going up.

EDIT: Did some quick math using my last power bill, at current prices a heat pump just needs to be about 2.9 average COP to beat gas in cost for me, if gas keeps going up that'll keep dropping!

It sounds like your target users are digital nomads with location-flexible work, and travel with laptops.

I'm in this audience, and avoid anything 'mobile-first' like the plague. I want a website I can access on a laptop/desktop, I don't like pecking out messages on my phone, and definitely don't want to install a beta app on my phone.
Most of the video card is actually a huge heatsink, and they didn’t install a heatsink on that motherboard. Worse, the heatsink and fans on a video card are less efficient than the ones you put on your CPU because of the limitations of the form factor.

> …I’m gonna take a slightly different tact, and say I’m extremely bullish on the GPU market in the near-to-mid term on the consumer side.

Count me in as bearish, at least for aftermarket discrete GPUs. Desktops' share continues to slowly deflate as a percentage of PC shipments. Fewer and fewer consumers upgrade their built-in GPU, whether discrete or integrated. The GPU "middle class" is disappearing between "whatever came with my computer" and behemoths like the RTX 4090.
Having two IRs (or even having a 1st-stage IR for each frontend language) sounds like something that a compiler project would want to avoid in the long term. I wonder how the IR that's being added for Rust will end up influencing the "regular" IR.

At the moment, about half of France’s nuclear power plants are offline - partially due to lack of cooling water (which should resolve itself as the summer ends), partially due to maintenance issues. Germany had been exporting energy to france. You’ll have to wait a long time until France makes up for the closed German power plants.

Yikes. I know there are points in an early-stage company where things are very unstructured and you end up in situations that you maybe wouldn't want as a larger company.. but in this case, it sounds like it would have been better for them to allow official and community-based channels of communication to live separately.

Right but there is a ring of accountability -- the compliance vendor (Vanta) should only refer startups to good auditors and pen testers. The auditor should verify that the pen tester is reputable, and the pen tester should check for basic things like this that would show up in an automated scan. Every link in the chain seems to have failed here, but Vanta is the one that did the initial referring presumably.

> Most of the people are just looking for sex or something less serious...

Not in my limited experience browsing the 30-40 range in my area. There are a handful of profiles where it's clearly an ENM couple looking for playmates, but almost all the rest have the exhausted-sounding language of "serious only please", "no hookups/nsa", "please don't be a weirdo/cheater", "please have your shit together", etc.

Yes, absolutely. The current state of affairs sucks for everyone. But I'm not sure if meeting people at a bar is necessarily any guarantee of finding someone who isn't "completely nuts".
It’s not non-profit afaik but doesn’t plenty of fish [0] essentially provide this service?

There are "sandwich style" SFF cases which mount the GPU parallel to the back of the motherboard, if that's what you mean. It's more for space than for airflow, but you can get good airflow too with the right design (e.g. standoffs/separation, exhaust fans).
What have your machines learned so far?
I've lived in an urban area for the last ~25 years and I certainly don't have a "steady stream" of anecdotes of the type of crime you're describing.

On the other hand, there is a steady stream of news articles about street crime, which often seems to portray the situation as worse than it is.

People that comment under news headlines on Twitter, for example, sometimes seem completely detached from reality, thinking they'll be murdered in a Mad Max hellscape if they cross some imagined urban boundary (but many of these people have an ideological agenda, so it's not clear whether they actually believe this).

Of course, there are issues in the city, just like there is everywhere, including distracted drivers (my worst fear), domestic abuse, and so on. Street crime certainly does exist, and is worse in some areas for sure, but is it really the biggest threat to our everyday safety?

It's kind of like how my mom gets caught up worrying about gangs, and I always ask her if she's ever had an interaction with a gang member (the answer is always no). Sure, gangs exist and sometimes do bad things to uninvolved people, but if you compare, for example, domestic abuse or negligent car crashes, those are far more of a threat to most of us commenting here than gangs ever will be.

EDIT: And to the extent that the U.S. does have more crime/incarceration than other countries, I'd ask what we're doing wrong, or more neutrally, what's different about our approach? One major issue is that our prison system seems particularly ineffective at rehabilitation and reintegrating people into society, so recidivism is high.

It is mainly brought up today to claim that GM is somehow opposed to EVs. The actual story becomes secondary. I’ve seen this in countless discussions of EVs.
After the fact that a lot of developers had releases planned on stadia and only got to know that after Google's announcement of shutting it down, this announcement is a reinforcement on the lack of a roadmap at Google.

They're launching, partnering with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon only 2 weeks after declaring Stadia a "dead product" (maybe as a last-minute thing, who knows).

I'm sorry Google, but, what?
You started off by taking these matching profile tests that grouped you into an archetype based on your responses. The archetype test was also optional it wasn't required to use the site. (Not sure if it was based on orientation but it was certainly gender based.)

There were a series of archetypes that were your ideal matches and you could search by peoples archetypes if they shared it. (I believe you could keep it private, too.. I can't totally remember.)

Otherwise, the entire site was geared towards creating tests and taking tests. Their test creation system was awesome. I had several tests on tv shows and entertainment. You could get really detailed with the response types and question structures.

OkCupid themselves, as outlined in this thread, shared their data freely and collected it without a bunch of invasive coding. People were literally creating data collection tests and we took them for fun. That's how you collect data!

The entire site had a much more mellow approach to dating then the alternatives at the time, yet it was still geared towards matches not just sex.
It could also be built using the Signal model.
My lived experience just completely disagrees with what you are saying. Perhaps it's an age difference thing. The gay men have had more of a problem with me than the straight ladies.

This may work in mild climates, but the areas where winter heating is most needed will have the solar panels under a bed of snow during the winter months.

Additionally, winter months are usually the cloudy ones. It's not very uncommon to have just a couple of sunny days per month in European winters, driving down solar gains even if there's no snow cover.

I don't know about you, but I don't usually meet up with someone just together that I don't know at all. It would be nice to talk at least for a while. It's different when you meet someone already in a social situation.
