Intel's A770 is 16GB, great for compute, at only $330ish.

It's really a price/performance king for compute applications and has my attention. Gaming/drivers is a concern as it is a 1st generation product though.
Microsoft even ported Doom to Windows 95, though it could also run the DOS version. Bill Gates even appeared in the game in a DirectX promotional video.

If you're in an area that gets hot enough in summer for you to want cooling, then yes you'll be pumping heat into the ground during summer and extracting it in the winter. For those of us who don't get hot enough in summer to want cooling, we're always extracting heat from the ground, and so the ground we're extracting heat from gets cold, which reduces the efficiency of the system. Having a solar powered mechanism for putting some heat back into the ground in summer would help alleviate this problem.

Which state is not doing it?
"There's more crime" is a meaingless claim unless you define what "crime" is and how you measure how much there is of it. Jaywalking is a crime in some countries. Does a country that criminalizes jaywalking have more crime than one that doesn't if it has any people jaywalking? How do you measure crime which is underreported or not enforced consistently?

If the US has a higher incarceration rate it's extremely likely that it has "more crime" because incarceration is supposed to be a punishment for doing crimes. The question is how the definition of those crimes compares to other countries. E.g. do you consider possession of cannabis a crime because it is illegal on a federal level? Former US President Bill Clinton used cannabis before it was legalized in any US state, so was that a crime?

For a real world case of this nebulous concept of "crime" as an opaque quantity consider immigration: even if they commit fewer violent crimes, it's still entirely possible for an immigrant to be more prone to crime simply because they are subject to additional legal requirements citizens aren't and failing to comply with any of them may qualify as a criminal offense. Just by their legal status they are able to commit an entire category of crimes others can't. Whether you think that is justified or not, they can literally be criminals for behaving exactly the same way as a non-criminal citizen would.
Why Silent Data Errors Are So Hard to Find
The wildcard in all this is that per transistor prices haven't been dropping each node since 20nm. They eventually go down as yields improve but we don't get that instant "way more transistors for a small increase in wafer price" like we did before 20nm. Meanwhile Nvidia is soaking none of this in their margins since they don't have to.

I think AMD is going to somewhat come to the rescue because chiplets are going to get way more out of each wafer compared to the absolute massive dies that Nvidia fabs but we're not returning to $800 cards in the penultimate slot like before. A lot of people are probably about to get disappointed.
Hopefully stuff like XLA and AITemplate continue to mature, so that people can write code that works close enough to native across all these new chips.

So, no real benefit over using AWS?

If your argument is that AWS isn't legally bound by the EU, you're mistaken as they're operating in Ireland at the very least.
Context: Opus was specifically designed to avoid known existing patents, except for ones that are available royalty-free [1]. If Fraunhofer and Dolby believed Opus infringed on their patents they could have said so a decade ago, but instead they've waited for it to become widely deployed.

This is also a peculiar choice from Dolby because the patents that do cover Opus are licensed with an exception for companies that sue saying they have patents covering Opus [2]. Dolby has at least one product that uses Opus [3] so if this pool goes ahead and sues someone then it looks like Dolby is open to being sued themselves.

I never saw any deals on Prime Day that seemed worthwhile at all.

Amazon Prime likes to celebrate itself but I see it as nothing but mediocre. Maybe a year and a half ago Amazon gave up on trying to get me packages in two days. I'm sure they have some excuse but I don't believe it because Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Adorama, Office Depot, and other retailers have no problem getting me packages in one or two days... Without paying for a subscription.

Because of this I canceled my Prime subscription.
Is it really too much to expect you to read the paper, which I've referenced, and pointed to two of the case studies as particularly valuable?

I'm not an expert, it doesn't make sense for me to do more than point to the expert opinions which I consider valuable here.

It's none of the things in your paragraph.

Open drug scenes are not caused by homelessness so housing the unhoused does not in itself solve the problem. It takes more than that.

One of the reasons I care about this is the evidence that housing-first policies fail if and when there are open drug scenes.
Apple's Objective-C runtime does a lot of very interesting tricks to make more efficient use of memory. Despite being fundamental types in the language, NSString, NSNumber, NSDictionary and so on are only interacted with via dynamically-linked dynamic dispatch, which gives the runtime a lot of freedom to change their representations without affecting the ABI. For example, contents of strings are sometimes stuffed into tagged pointers rather than being heap-allocated.
Not OP, but share similar sentiments with OP about exercise, so maybe this perspective can help. /shrug

Hiking is my jam. I love it, and it's the one area of exercise where getting my ass kicked physically feels incredibly worth it. The trouble with hiking is that I like getting out into the mountains to do it (I prefer the less-traveled hikes that really get out out, up and away from everything and everyone... solitude, baby!), and I have a couple of small kids, so I can only get around to what I consider a "quality" hike once every couple of months. That'll change as they get older, but yeah.

Walks are different; I walk my dog for about 20-30 minutes every night, but it's just not the same for me.

There is no proven health or performance benefit to drinking extra water beyond your level of thirst. The goal should be to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte balance rather than drinking a certain minimum volume of water. The optimal amount will vary a lot depending on genetics, diet, activity level, and environmental conditions.

If you look at actual programs to house homeless people in practice, prison is a bargain. In Portland a charitable estimate to house 1/3 of the homeless is 320k/unit to build + 20k/year/unit to maintain.

Shack-based safe rest villages (temporary transitional housing) are $30+k/unit. https://www.portland.gov/ryan/funding-safe-rest-villages but it is taboo to have barriers, so sometimes they have to be shut down because they are too dangerous. https://www.wweek.com/news/city/2022/05/28/old-town-homeless...

Most of my private computing devices are 10 years older and they still deliver on what is needed, including running Visual Studio 2022, or having Windows 10, Ubuntu LTS and such.

We have plateau in the need of computing power, in fact most home users would probably be just fine with an Atari ST or Amiga like computer updated to handle modern Internet and that is about it.

IMO that shouldn't be a concern to those looking at buying this gen. The tech will move into their integrated CPU's, so drivers will be maintained well into the future.
How long were those prices elevated? I seem to recall the beginning of the upward creep in mid 2017-early 2018 but it's hard to recall. It certainly feels like it's been 4-5 years.

I enjoyed checking the secondary market prices of my 1060 3GB every few months during those years as a repeatable source of shock. GPU prices had incredible staying power for a while there. But now? Now it's time to jump back in, helllooooo RTX

I already mentioned that logic can be defined in terms of probability above.

Here's the strange part. Let's say we make those probabilities to be 100% thus we have ordinary logic without probability.

Then let's create a physical closed Newtonian system: The interior of a cube with no gravity and a bunch of identical bouncing balls which obey Newtonian physics and therefore logic.

Let's say those balls all have a random initial velocity at a random direction but all those balls are initially positioned near one corner in the cube. Thus the balls from a position stand point start with low entropy. I use the term random, but it's not really random as you have perfect knowledge of these numbers, you know what they all are.

As time increases, entropy increases. The balls as a system begin to increase in entropy. Entropy continues to rise towards an equilibrium.

That is the question. Entropy is a probabilistic phenomenon. It occurs because ball configurations that are spread out have higher probabilities of occurring then balls that are concentrated in a corner. Thus given enough time the balls occupy the higher entropy state.

My question is, WHY does this occur. Probability (aka Entropy) is ARISING out of a perfect Newtonian system following perfect logic without any probabilistic extensions.

Can entropy be derived from Newtonian physics? The better question is, can probability be derived from Newtonian physics because entropy is in actuality a phenomenon of probability?

Any system that uses pure logic (and completely avoids probability in any part of its definition) exhibits this sort of rule as long as you introduce a sort of randomness into initial parameters above. Probability permeates everything.

Calling the book a “wake-up call,” Tyson spoke of the need to focus on objective scientific truths rather than excessively relying on personal truths. Although personal truths and pieces of wisdom can be beneficial, they have also led to violence, wars and other bad outcomes.

That's ridiculously optimistic. Scientific truths have hardly ended wars. If they are less frequent than when we fought with stones, they are far larger and deadlier. Does Dr. Tyson think that the personal truths that emerged at the Esalen Institute were more dangerous than the scientific ones that emerged at the Los Alamos Lab?

Caution: Raving rant of a frequent whitepaper previewer.

A fallen 220yo tree is a prime example of introducing instability to an ecosystem, both good and bad, depending on ones point of view (POV).

Once again, instability is all about POVs.

Instability can also be normal part of a cycle, again a POV.

It is the researchers who often failed to outline their conceptual aspect of this starting position of their POV that leads to the readers’ wilder conjectures and vision of misguided basis and incorrectly being used for their baseless premises … through no fault of their own.

A worse case of science and its scientific process.

I’ve seen this all too often in whitepapers.

To be blunt, we cannot guarantee not sharing data in the scenario that the US government forces us to transfer data to them from our EU Cloud. We have self hosting for those who want 100% certainty of GDPR compliance, as then we require no access to the instance.

The case law[0] as it stands today makes it impossible for US companies to fully comply in practice if providing cloud software like this - in order to comply with a request from a US agency to transfer data out of the EU, a US company would need to breach its obligations under GDPR today (and vice versa). However, recent changes[1] in the US may (or may not) enable legitimate transfers from the EU to US, but a ruling from the European Commission on this isn't expected until 2023.
For this reason, we've launched PostHog Cloud EU on AWS in Frankfurt for now (we've had many customers asking for this) as a first step. From here, we can iterate depending on the above or by changing our legal structure if we wind up with a ton of adoption and want to improve this offering.

We'll issue a few clarifications to the page and docs to help explain the above properly, as I think we should make the above points more clearly on our website. We didn't expect this to appear on HN front page so fast!

That's barely 2-3 generations vs 350 years of colonialism. Most of government and the civil service is aligned around colonial lines with heavy weightage on the top.

> Intel might not even be making another generation of discrete consumer GPUs

That might be ok. The integrated graphics on Intel chips are getting better - probably 100% thanks to the discrete GPU effort.

Apple has shown with the M1/M2 that integrated graphics can be really quite good even without high-end Nvidia performance. If Intel matches that, they could own the low-to-mid range just by selling CPUs and leave Nvidia in a pickle with no profitable market for their binned chips.
At least in the US we don't generally turn off communications infrastructure just as a response to criticism or political unrest. Or if it does happen, the government is exceptionally good at preventing that fact from surfacing.

Just here to point out that you don’t “summon” strength… you “muster” it
The example makes sense when you think of `i` getting reassigned, but in other languages with variable shadowing (think Rust, but Go too when you're in a nested scope) you might replace `i = 2` with `let i = 2` (Rust), in which case the closure closes over precisely the `let i = 2` variable and the expected output differs.
Similar effect as a CSA but you get to choose whether you actually want the stuff and when. Pretty nifty idea.

Tesla had to make their own (better) design and find their way through. They could not wait for standardization when the rest of the industry was fighting tooth and nails against the transition to EV.

It's just an input right? Forget your expectation that an input causes a 'page' to move vertically; the screen is just a canvas that can change over time or in response to inputs.

(But, because it breaks your expectation is why people don't like it, call it 'scrolljacking' i.e. hijacking scroll behaviour, etc. It's worst IMO when it's done to make the page 'sticky' at certain banner points, so it takes unintuitively more or less scroll movement at certain points as you move down the page.)

I would suggest that you try both and see which one you prefer.

> Alcohol promises a great time. Alcohol delivers a hangover and regrets.

I've always described drinking as “borrowing happiness from tomorrow, sometimes at a high interest rate”.

But like any debt that might actually feel like a good deal at the time, and might actually be a good deal sometimes. And even if it isn't a good deal, if you are someone with a dependency or addiction realising this isn't simple (and even if you realise, taking action (or not) based on that realisation is often far from easy).

Regrets in hindsight are not very effective at moderating behaviour once a physical addiction or phycological (including social) dependency has set in.
