The xx90 isn’t made for gaming.

Before the 30 series, everyone knew RTX Titan was not a gaming card, but rather for compute/professional work.

Nvidia rebranded their Titan cards as 3090/4090 and people lap that up for some reason.
Selling PV electricity back to the grid is almost always many times worse, depending on state incentives, than consuming the electricity. For example, my utility sells electricity to me at 9 cents/KWh, but only buys from me at 2.5 cents, and charged me a fixed monthly fee for the meter to boot.

If the commenter’s house doesn’t have gas, then it doesn’t seem to make sense to install it, and the price differential in the US isn’t as great as in the UK (how’s that Brexit thing working out?).
Yes, no one can ever no anything about a counterfactual. So does nothing matter beyond whatever each individual chooses to matter? (Nihilism / Hedonism.)
Probably my age showing, but the value proposition of PC gaming seems to have fallen steeply in the past few years compared to consoles. The prospect of playing Serious Multiplayer Games has almost fallen off my radar completely, and that was one of the primary draws for me in the past. Nowadays, I don't want to fiddle with Windows (which insists on forcing updates when I do power my PC up to play with friends), mess with hardware, or anything like that.

I have a big Steam library that I don't want to give up, but I could see being all in on future versions of Steam Deck.
They've memory-holed (i.e. deleted) their entire old blog, no? It's disappointing but I think it's a stretch to describe that as Orwellian (as the OP did). At some point they just discarded all their old content, it's not that much of a conspiracy.
I assume "Elo" is their hotness credit score system? I doubt I had a high one - kinda nerdy looking mid 40's dude, not particularly tall or athletic-looking, not particularly wealthy, no constant stream of matches, etc.

I found the people in the "rose list" to just look like Instagram profiles with fairly vanilla profiles and standard TV/socmed good looks, whereas I usually fit better with other nerdy weirdos of average/decent looks. It's oversimplification, but that's about as good as I can get as a generalization.

I still spent some weekends taking care of things at home and plenty of others with dates over the course of several months. I met a few lovely people who I'd totally say hi and chat with if I ran into them out and about today. I went out a few times with one or two that eventually fizzled. And I went out with one that I wouldn't have met otherwise (lives 45min away) and am still involved with a year later.

I never paid for it (Hinge) and just treated it as a way to "surface" potentially interesting people to say hi to, chat with, and potentially date. For all the flaws, it's a more effective way to do this than counting solely on meeting people in your physical sphere.

This is going to be awful when buying pre-built machines. They'll just say it has a 4080 and stick the crappy one in.
Whats inconvinient to the pollitically correct narrative is people with 0 scientific literacy making bold claims about society based on surveys on extremely sampled social studies.

Doing a study on how "dateable" black women are based on a specific dating app in 2010 is like making claims on everyones eating habits based on a survey on a Burger king drive through. It will probably not be a very good survey.

They also took down the whole blog, people only remember the weird survey because it was an incel talking point seconds after it came out, specially in black pill groups arguing that giving up was the only alternative because OkCupid had "proved" that love was impossible for some and hypergamy or some other nonsense.
When you find the love of your life you move from user to free marketing. People constantly talk about how they met, early dates, etc. New users always enter the dating market, either by just younger people getting older or breakups, divorce, erc. So it seems like it wouldn't be in the best long term interest to keep users in the dopamine loop.
Can’t wait to see all our old private messages get leaked by some hack of the parent organization now too. Or for it all to just get sold to advertisers
I think, OKCupid did rather well. They question approach was a bit broad, but if you just answered around 100 very niche questions, you'd get good matches.

But to be honest, I did online dating for almost 20 years and got like 10 dates from it, 2 of which turned into a relationship.

Some of my friends did much better, though. You know, the tall, buff guys with beards, etc. Had at least one date a month. So, even with the "show personally via questions" kind of stuff, looks are still king in online dating.

I did much better with offline dating. Talking to a interesting person is more exciting than just reading about it, I guess.

So, if you wanna go the online route, hit the gym and eat well.

If you're prepared to meet people offline and date at parties, meetups, etc. Then you can get away with a less helathy lifestyle, haha.
I don’t think it’s a bargain, but based on price to CUDA core counts alone, it actually is fairly priced.

It’s just that their product line has a more or less linear CUDA core to price best line of fit.[1]

There’s a dip specifically at the RTX 3080 Ti, where you’re getting more cores for the money than elsewhere on the best line of fit.

Not sure what trade offs there are there except less VRAM and in one instance I read that cooling wasn’t as good.

One thing that worked for me for other addicting behaviors was to properly and deliberately harness regret. If you call upon it in advance of making a regrettable decision, it can be a tool instead of a cudgel.

This book goes over this philosophy well: https://www.danpink.com/the-power-of-regret/
Seems like a waste of tax-payer money to me. Why can't people just... meet others offline like they did 10+ years ago.
What I'd like is to use mobile phone hardware that I'm already carrying to run an OS capable of running 'normal' programs, not just Apps from a store. That should be shown on lightweight AR glasses with adjustable tinting so I get a portable 27"+ monitor and paired with Bluetooth folding keyboard and mouse.

A desktop PC is still good for AAA gaming or immersive VR experiences as are game consoles as well as media consumption tablets and phones.

Congratulations on the book! I think we need more books like this.
Recently on YT, I have been watching more and more videos on the subject. Most of them target beginners (which is fine) but few talk about what comes next. So your book is very welcome.
The Hackers Diet suggests sticking to a highly restricted (500 calories? I can't remember. It is free and online) diet for a couple of days at the beginning of your diet.

That way when you increase your intake to something that won't kill you in the medium term, your body is much happier than it would be otherwise.

Works for me. YMMV.
Sounds a lot like a casino. The house always wins, at the expense of their customers.
Related personal anecdote:

I am experimenting with Tinder subscription at the moment, and it feels incredibly exploitative. When you make a profile, matches are frequent and you can tell that you show up for people. However it gradually falls down with time, and the only predictable and obvious way to get back up is to pay for Boosts and/or Priority Likes.

Right now my 6-month old profile gets ZERO likes outside of the time it's Boosted ($3 a pop or something). I get plenty once I'm boosted, so the profile attractiveness doesn't seem to be a factor.

It feels like the app's algorithms are rigged to gradually push you towards paid subscription options. There must be a huge invisible market of Tinder whales given how exploitative it is, gambling addiction, loneliness, and desperation for dates are correlated traits and I would absolutely bet on Tinder exploiting this heavily.

>The problem we have now is there are entire companies (IBM, Google, RAND, TI, etc) that exist solely to farm patents.

Google exists "solely" to farm patents? I'd think they exist to sell advertising, but that's just my uninformed opinion as a layman. Am I missing something here?
Drug use is rampant in rural areas too, so the "urban centers" thing doesn't come across that well.

If a person is addicted to drugs and needs to be removed from society "for their own good," this can be done without criminalization. Criminalization of drug usage seems entirely ineffective and even counterproductive.
So you can now compile C on an Amiga OS 4.1. TBH, I didn't know you couldn't do this before. Most of the Amiga community that I have seen run the 3.X branch on 68k classic machines.
Right call for js, but I think not for C# or Go, since as time goes on, the old behavior will be more and more of a relic, but you'll be paying the cost for having two syntaxes forever. (In js tho you have no alternative, because you don't have anything like go.mod (I think?) and you really can't break backcompat.)
Websites aren't articles in a newspaper you can cut out, nor artworks you can hang on your wall, even if they contain only text and/or some images.

Websites are shopping windows. Think about what would be required to keep the same shopping window alive for 30 years. It's exactly the same with the web.
Something often discussed is how things like this can be used to make incriminating fake audio of other people's voices. Seems obvious that it wouldn't be too hard to find signs of that in the digital files.

My question is has anyone made a filter that goes the opposite direction, ie makes your voice on phone or zoom calls sound like it's been AI generated by inserting specific artifacts?

We might have an interesting arms race ahead of us. Maybe a good time to get into digital forensics.

Apps like Tinder and Happn kind of escaped this by being places more suited to hookups and One Night Stands than the place someone goes to find a long-term partner.

By focusing on quick relationships too, both Tinder and Happn can be more liberal about message limits for free tier users, at the same time making sure that man derive value from a paid subscription.

But looking at what component prices have been like recently (which has also been reflected even in pre-built machines) it doesn't surprise me that sales have fallen.
That's good for extension and motivation, but not persuasion.
There's no special 'lifetime extension' operation involved. Semantically, everything is heap allocated† in Go. The garbage collector takes care of deallocating it when nothing references it anymore. In other words, at the level of the language semantics, all tracking of lifetimes is done dynamically at runtime by the garbage collector.

Go does in fact stack allocate variables which it can prove not to outlive their lexical scopes, but this is merely an optimization. Unless you are trying to write optimal code, there is never any reason to think about which values are stack allocated in Go.

There's not really any such thing as a 'local variable' in Go. A variable has whatever scope it has, but there's nothing special, semantically speaking, about variables defined inside functions or inside loops.

If the use of & in the example code is puzzling, it's probably because you're expecting Go to have some C-like concept of an automatic (i.e. stack allocated) variable – but it just doesn't.

>That history makes it feel like "taking the address" is a really trivial operation - returning a numerical value that the compiler had access to at that point anyway.

It is in fact a trivial operation in Go too, as I hope the above has clarified.

---

† Strictly speaking 'semantically heap allocated' is nonsense, but hopefully you know what I mean. There is no way to declare a variable in Go in such a way as to force it to be deallocated at the end of a particular lexical scope. A variable's lexical scope and its lifetime are entirely divorced (as is typical in a GCed language).
Just a side note: the idea that Irish people weren’t considered white is a myth (same with Italians and Jews)[0]. Irish people could go to white-only venues/places, could marry other white people, weren’t affected by segregation, etc in every instance in society where you were “checked for white”, Irish people passed.

The book the myth is based on “How the Irish Became White” defines white basically as “didn’t face discrimination”, which Irish people certainly did, but never because they “weren’t white”. Obviously these are different things, and this (I think deliberately) confusing framing leads to the myth. This is just a piece of the reason why defining “whiteness” as anything other than the skin color is racist and inaccurate, and it throws a wrench into the idea that American history is just “white = free, nonwhite = all discrimination”, which is a convenient narrative but completely fabricated.

This doesn’t at all diminish the discrimination other groups suffered, but Irish people were considered white and STILL received significant discrimination (Italians and Jews too, Catholics as a religious example as well).

Liberal economics (i.e. the only kind presently understood when you say "economics") wants to have it both ways:

1) The world economy is too complex to be understood fully, so its best to be hands-off and let markets regulate it. Also:

2) The market is no good at regulating the world economy so we have to set up central banks, staff them with personnel from the finance industry, and give them extraordinary powers to create and destroy money and other government-backed securities. We also HAVE to let them do whatever they want with those powers, free from political pressure, since only then can they freely apply their perfect scientific knowledge of economics (which involves math now, so laypeople can't understand it without taking off their shoes) to the task of selflessly minimizing unemployment (or maybe keeping inflation down, they get to pick which) and therefore making everyone richer.

Hi, sorry for the late reply but hopefully you'll see this: Linnstrument lights the keyboard up so that you see where C is at for each octave. It also lights up notes similar to a piano's black/white keys. It took a little while to get situated, but I got used to this. Note that each row of a Linnstrument is like a flattened piano roll. This page might be helpful: https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/support/support-linnstrument...

Additionally, Linnstrument, like all other grid instruments that implement all-fourths or a closely-related layout, has redundancy of notes on the board. That is to say, the same note often appears at least a couple times on the board. There's a setting (default on older firmware, easy to activate on newer firmware) where you can tell the board to light up ALL other redundant individuals of a note that's currently being played. For example, when I play C3, I will see C3 lit up all over the board simultaneously. This has a huge training wheel effect both in letting you witness the shape of your tetris-tile chords elsewhere on the board, but also, always gives you a sense of the geography of the board -- where you can jump to next if you want to dance your way up/down or to another chord or note.
I was a huge Amiga fan for many years, and well past its best-by date. I’d love to at least play with AmigaOS 4 to see what it’s like, but wish it ran on hardware you can find at Central Computers (or on, say, an ARM Mac).

Companies also routinely _claim_ that lawsuits are frivolous but that doesn't mean we should take their word on it. It's not even remotely true that it costs a minimum of $100K, so I would start by questioning whether the person who told you that had an ulterior motive.
> AAA game studios aren't going to be able to afford to spend hours lovingly drawing intricate details if only 0.1% of players can play their games in 4k

They do this anyway for future proofing. The tools they use capture far more detail than can be used on modern hardware. So they down-sample for target hardware and keep the hi-res assets around for the eventual next-gen "remaster".

Publishers have realized that AAA titles have long legs. GTAV and Skyrim have seen releases on several generations of hardware because people will keep buying them. So now the concept of a "remaster" release on future hardware is baked into development.
It's important to note that the definition of CUDA "cores" changed with Ampere due to their adding dual-issue, which is not always possible, but they count it as a flat doubling of "cores", where "cores" previously meant ALUs / vector lane units.
