> It's no secret GPUs like the 4090 are hero cards. They represent the very best of what a company like Nvidia can squeeze out of its silicon, and as such they command a premium. But it remains the mid-tier where most of the money is made.

I don't think that's the case, specially with a TDP of 450W

The RX 6xxx XT gen do better than the newer intel GPU and with a LOWER TDP!! close to half the TDP in fact!

I don't understand why this journalist intentionally ignore and downplay AMD, maybe the article is sponsored? maybe they prepare the shutdown of AMD since it's Taiwanese, China?

> You can't be racist against white people

Of course you can. And it's really easy, too. You simply discriminate against their race (or, as you have described, their skin color).

In case you haven't figured it out by now, if a human being can be lumped into a race, then racism can be levelled towards that person. That's literally baked into the meaning of the word racism.
Its not "political". Its a matter of life and death. For the safety, health and security of my partner, there is no way I would ever move to Texas.

Something I don't understand about Valve – the company has been around since 1996 and essentially controls the PC gaming industry. It has the dominant digital distribution platform (taking a 30% cut of all sales), a catalog of very popular games, several hardware plays (VR headset, console, linux box) and 135+ million active users. It enjoys a cult like standing among fans. Why then is its estimated valuation as little as $7.7B (from https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/gabe-newell/...)?

First date should be coffee or drinks. Not just for your wallet but for your mental health. If you don't click, you move on with the rest of your day. If you do, you make a dinner date.

Coffee date is usually each getting their own. Drinks date, you can offer to pay -- it's not a bad sign to show that you are stable enough to afford a drink. That's sexist, but it's not uncommon for him to make more money, so it's less unfair than it seems at first blush.

The one who picks the place for dinner should be prepared to pay. The other can throw their credit card out at well; most wait staff take it as a sign to split it evenly.

If you've made it through two dates you should be talking enough to communicate how much money you each make and what kind of money you are each prepared to spend on subsequent dates.

If you are spending $600 a month it's because you're going to dinner too often. There's no need, and it's wasting both of your time.

Most people would agree that something like feeding starving babies is a worthy apolitical cause.

So, given that with email, the important part is the data, and not the client, I was able to give this client a spin. Not bad. I was able to go though my recent email, view some HTML email I keep getting, and mash through things without a lot of problems. Maybe I'll stick with this client? ::shrug::

This is one of the few domains where you can play with different client still. And there can be innovations here with CLI versions, which I like.

Reading other comments in the thread, it sounds like ddevault has ideas for the next version. If so, that's cool, and it should be easy to try out.
> the point you're making that sufficiently audited C code is as safe as Rust

The point I am actually trying to make is that memory safety is not the only consideration for security and safety. If you make a memory safe NTP and there turns out to be bad logic inside that code that does something allowing a security hole, then that's just as bad, if not worse, than using the decades-old software that did not have that bad logic, because that software has been tested in the real world day in day out for DECADES.

I trust (somewhat) that Rust isn't going to allow unsafe memory access. I don't trust that Rust programmers can write code with no bugs that's better than a tool that has been refined over generations of programmers. Memory safe programming is a tech solution to a human problem (human imperfection).

Again, new projects should be written in a memory safe language, but that's a whole other topic, IMO.

I concur. I used to work in cyber fiveish years ago.
A bit of a false dichotomy. You can have a role at a 4 day work week company that has great working conditions, just as meh working conditions exist at many 5 day work week companies. I would argue that an org who champions a 4 day work week is more attuned to intentional culture and work life balance than traditional orgs.
In what sense? Since this is a culture war adherent spouting this stuff, how can you take any of it at face value?

Wow. So branding works on human scientists. Shocking.
The original twitter thread references Wikimedia’s explicit support and advocacy for intersectional ideology. That is far more than “donating to orgs that support diversity in science” in terms of taking sides in the culture war. There is no ability to claim neutrality after taking that position.

This source shows the IQ range of nurses and computer programmers as very similar. With programmers going both slightly lower and slightly higher than nurses. Meaning there are no nurses that have as low an IQ as the lowest IQ programmer. Proving your claim definitely wrong.

https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/ses/2002-hauser.pdf

The jobs require different types of cognitive ability and I'd guess the average programmer would fail miserably at being a nurse due to not having the right type of cognitive ability.

I interned with the Clayton County Public Defender's office years ago, when an "early mid-life crisis" pulled me out of the tech industry to pursue a law degree for a few years.

I have zero doubt that this is racial profiling. However, it's even more sad to note that Clayton County is majority-Black. Its Board of Commissioners, District Attorney, Chief of Police, and Sheriff are all Black. (As as side note, do some Googling on Sheriff Victor Hill...

It's just super really fucking risky. It's not this, VC thing where you are just putting out winners over and over again.

There are no Marc Lore types in gaming. There's no exit strategy for Marc Lores of gaming. And if you don't have any idea what I'm saying or talking about at this point, if you're like, who the fuck is Marc Lore, you are not comprehending how far you are from understanding the challenge of making these games with huge audiences that last for years.

You are just as likely to get a hit from an extremely talented and lucky unknown as you are from Richard fucking Garfield. A title that cost its developer $1 to make can become a #1 App Store game at roughly the same a-priori likelihood as a game with a $100m budget.

The mistake wasn't taking a risk. Better Zucc make video games than a payment system or a crypto trading platform or a spare room rental company. The mistake is that John Carmack is a dick.
Videos best watched muted. The script was a torrent of Bay Area BS that said nothing more than “it’s a self flying taxi”.
This is wrong, the civil rights legislation from the 60s is now being used by Asians in current discrimination suits against colleges. The CRM legislation was colorblind, and therefore will be an enduring protection against discrimination towards any group.

Interesting, perhaps there is some Hacker News voodoo magic that links to the original somehow. Maybe it looks for "This story was originally published in <link>" and follows that?

So I see the Atlantic is to blame for the clickbait headline, unsurprising. I guess their deal is "we can publish your story but we will change the headline to something people will click on."

Certain gaming experiences are really good in it. First person shooters are great. Horror games are so effective they are basically unplayable.

This reminds me of a bias I saw on Quora, where some popular contributor gets tons of upvotes by fans regardless of whether their answer is any good or not (often you have to dig deep into the comments to find out that it's not a good answer). (I should qualify that I don't know if it's still that way; I started using it when it was first launched and then quit 6-7 years ago once it started turning into a fanboi and you-upvote-me-I-upvote-you club.)
It also depends on the experience. "Room scale" things where your VR Motion == your Actual Motion causes no motion sickness in the vast majority of people. Flooring the gas pedal in a driving sim does cause motion sickness in the vast majority of people.

The claim isn't that memory-safe languages foreclose on all security vulnerabilities; only the worst of them. As someone who has at various times had the job of carefully reviewing large C codebases for vulnerabilities, I'll attest: whatever the rest of the vulnerabilities may be, you spend most of your time trying (and failing) to hunt down all the memory corruption problems. Your confidence in the decades of review C programs have had, in all but a very few cases, is probably misplaced.

Most people in my circles understand "intersectionality" to refer to exactly the claim you're disputing, that it's good to identify and focus on an exponentially expanding amount of subgroups. I don't think this is an unreasonable interpretation - the Center for Intersectional Justice, a large nonprofit in the area, says one example of intersectionality (https://www.intersectionaljustice.org/what-is-intersectional...) is that you shouldn't attempt to address the gender pay gap without also thinking about race, socioeconomic status, and immigration status.
I'm not sure where Bloomberg is getting that number and I would debate even its ballpark accuracy - especially when Valve is a privately held company and notoriously tight-lipped about things like gross revenue and profits.

My point is that yes, there are a lot of people out there searching for life advice and self improvement. They suck it up from books, movies, social media, the news. Some of that advice is absolute crap and some of it is beneficial.

There are absolutely people who will see personalities in movies and try to take something from that. In fact I’d say none of us are immune from doing it.
