Not many people know that Cuda stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture.

The unified being the key idea here. All NVIDIA GPUs support Cuda since the G80/G84/G86 generation which arrived at the end of 2006, beginning of 2007.

It’s true of course that the older GPUs don’t support newer versions of CUDA, but the idea that CUDA is unified has been central to the project since the beginning. It also has cost a lot of money and effort for NVIDIA to put CUDA support in every GPU, even when it wasn’t extensively used. Took about 10 years of investment before it really started to pay off.
Oh so advertisements.
I did not know that about Intel. Guess I'm lucky I wasn't in the market for a new PC at that time... Do they at least all support Windows 11, since I think "gen 8" is the first one officially supported?

> AMD is at least making it so the second digit will indicate architecture (the first will be year released).

Unfortunately, that's not always the case. See, for example, the Ryzen 5 5500U which is a zen 2 part and the 5560U which is a zen 3 part. The architecture is quite different, too: the first being a 2x3 configuration, while the second is 1x6.

The Zen 3 one was also released as a 54xx "PRO" version. See [1] note 1.

They were both released in January 2021, but then you have the Ryzen 5 4680U which was released later, in April 2021, while being a zen 2.

As a matter of fact, I'm quite sure the second digit is the model's place in the range. See 3700 desktop parts, which are zen 2, and 5700 ones which are zen 3.

Moreover, to your point about differences between desktop and laptop parts, I've always considered that a given. Zen 2 desktop parts already had pci-e 4, whereas the zen 3 laptop ones only had pci-e 3, even the higher end ones. The first mobile parts to have pci-e 4 seem to be the 6xxx models.

That is the OK Cupid trap. The more questions you answer, the more likely it is your filtering out suitable matches. The match percentage isn't a good indicator if you are a match in real life.

However, you make a fair point that people answering only answering a few questions aren't too serious about dating.

LAN parties used to be the only way to play together because playing over the Internet wasn't practical. Once that changed, it was so much more convenient to just play over the Internet, that the demand for LAN parties dropped quickly.

From my memory, companies ending LAN support came long after LAN parties were mostly done for the experience and mostly by people who had done them before.

I never really trust the media because 1) I briefly worked with a few and 2) I've seen them report on areas of my expertise and they got so, so many things wrong or misleading. (and this was before our world became highly politicized too)

I just chalk this up to another reason. I would have loved to come on here and leave a comment like "typically, I don't like how the media handles things but I'm glad they didn't hold back."

I'm glad that the author of one of the articles that put SBF on a pedestal was honest about being fooled. I knew and talked with SBF circa 2018-19. I was fooled too, so I totally understand that.

It could be considered a bit dated at this point (It's before C++11) but I find it still both entertaining and educating.
The visible donations are just the tip of the iceberg. The hidden donations include lucrative cushy jobs for family members of politicians, insider stock tips, promises of corporate board positions for 'retired' politicians and bureaucrats, special low-rate home loans, and probably about a dozen other mechanisms.

Then, the Senator or House member will always take the donor's call, will introduce bills written by the donor's lawyer, will put pressure on regulatory agencies to do what the donor wants, etc. (not that the latter is really needed, as the regulators are typically going back and forth to jobs in the industry they're supposed to be regulating, via the revolving door).

It's a grossly corrupt system, but notice that corporate media (owned by the same people) chose not to put 'concern about government corruption' on their list of items to poll voters about prior to the midterms.

Context is key here: I would strongly urge you to to create a web page for the games, where you can provide details that a reader won’t get from the source code alone, for example:

* who was the audience/market for this?
* what led to some of the technical choices you made? Benefits? Tradeoffs?
* what did you learn? What might you do differently today?
* What other tradeoffs that affect the code? Time to market? Only an hour a week of dev time?

This code has a story to tell, and only you can tell it.

I firmly believe that a finished, running project - no matter how embarrassing the code will not make the person who developed it look bad. Human endeavors are difficult and nothing incredible was made by one person. Additionally, when we make things in groups it isn't one person who's perfect and everyone else is being shaped by that one person. We all learn and grow and help each other learn and grow.

I suggest posting things that make you uncomfortable due to their 'quality' because the more you do it the more you'll start to dissolve that part of your ego that is pre-embarrassed by the imagined responses of people who have yet to review your work. I say this as someone who is struggling to finish a comic written by one of my friends for this very reason.

Do the thing - put it out there (if you have the inclination) - learn - lather - rinse - repeat.
This is my favorite comment. Not even close.
Amazon succeeded in making a viable, well-maintained Fire OS that used Android Open Source Project (AOSP) as an upstream. Unfortunately, that and $4.99 will get you a venti latte. The only reward for hard work in doing that is more hard work.

There is an alternate strategy, which is to create a family of app-layer and system software that fits Google's OEM model, and become an Android OEM, more like what Samsung did (though that isn't the best example because a lot of Samsung's software is terrible). Maybe this would be a viable backstop for Amazon.

Google can throw more money at the problem because Google's upside is everything from phones (a notable Amazon fail) to TVs to cars, in addition to smart home devices.

I don't get Twitter or similar platforms, but it sounds like Mastodon is at least attempting to fix the problem being described.

Just some thoughtful tweaks to make it less addictive, less of a game, less of a competition.

Not sure it will work, I'm not the audience anyway, but I feel like Mastodon is worth a try for this user.
I thought, for sure, I was squarely in this club with my MD files hosted on GitHub. Then, I looked at point #1. 25kB transferred. Wut?

Next I looked at the css framework I built and use for all my sites. I know it's only about 2.5k, but I have a screenshot. 114kB transferred. Damn it.

I'm not in this club even though I try to be tiny.
My favorite C "quirk": If you have an array and you want to access an item of it, you can swap the variable and the index number (put the variable name inside brackets and the number outside):

a[5]

is the same as:

5[a]

why?

a[5] is actually sugar for *(a + 5), so by commutative property, you can also do *(5 + a) to access the same memory position :-)
And corporations are people, of course

Using alexa as a timer is about 99% of what I do with mine. Occasionally I'll ask it the weather. The push for engagement is what is killing it for me. Just about everytime I ask it for something, it follows up with suggestions for other commands. Most of my commands now end with me having to tell alexa to shut up. I've toggled the flag in the settings to reduce this behavior but I guess the setting is all but ignored. Very frustrating when there is a lot of potential
Yep, great for quick commands but kind of useless beyond the weather, music, and quickies (news, agenda).

And not seeing much progress so .....
Most of the funds form FTX ‘crypto gamblers’ ended up in Sam’s pockets where he made dubious gambles with it. Not a lot more than pledges did actually materialized into donations. To me effective altruism is just a mantra to justify bad behaviors in the name of altruism.
The issue is not speech to text but rather "now that you've got the text, what do you do with it?"

How do you make "play my favorite songs" to "play some music that I like" to do similar (if not identical) things? What infrastructure behind the voice assistant will need to be made accessible and how do you hook that up?

This is where Siri and Alexa work well. They've got operating system level access to the rest of their eco system. Alexa has access to all your Amazon stuff. Siri has access to all your apple stuff.

I also started using Twitter, more or less, during my visit to C4 (a very well put together indie mac dev conference in Chicago). That's also where I met al3x for the first time, back when Twitter was almost more famous in the States for being a working Ruby on Rails app.

It was a surprisingly influential conference, I'm learning in retrospect. My thoughts drift back to that weekend from time to time, which has increased since I stopped using Twitter this week. If I could go back in time, I might go back to that conf and make a couple different decisions just to see how timeline divergent my life ended up.

I still have the weirdly colorful tie I got there.
>> Alexa, what was that alarm for?

For a long time I've been thinking a key to these thing is maintaining enough context to identify pronouns. For example, in the above question the key word is "that" or "that alarm". Being able to get a reference to the correct alarm should make it easy to answer. Not being able to do it certainly makes it impossible to answer.
The user experience is excellent.

Can you point to a specific problem?
Journalists saying that twitter will never die because MySpace is still around are non committal, yea I can pati a domain on a $20 a year ec2 instance but that’s not “alive”. If Twitter ends up with less than 10 million mdau’s it’s dead.

The article author (me) lives in Wisconsin, where the weather is currently snowy and 18 F. Golf carts are a nonstarter.

Besides, an electric golf cart's range is only about 25 miles, which gets you around a golf course a few times but not much farther.

Alexa is the best voice interface for filtering out background noise by a considerable margin, in my experience. It's very flexible in what it accepts. Google is very rigid. Try asking Google Assistant to shut the fuck up. Siri isn't bad but it's too device focused.

Ask HN: Where Are the Twitter Clones?
Back in the day clones would shoot up as soon as someone got into trouble, usually even leveraging a pre-existing open source code base.

There's some really good interviews with the actual founders of Tesla, talking about how when looking for a market they found lots of silicon valley types with Porsches and Prius's and realised they could sell them one car that met both needs.
> By then Alexa was getting a billion interactions per week, but most of those conversations were trivial, commands to play music or ask about the weather. That meant less opportunities to monetize.

This really cuts to the heart of the matter. I use Alexa for a number of trivial things, but if I start hearing ads, I’ll dump all my Echo devices and switch to a voice service without ads.

(I would miss some Alexa features that I haven’t been able to replicate with any other voice assistant; the form factor of the Echo Flex, the Echo Clock, the ability to set Sonos speakers as preferred output devices.)
>>Just because someone is a socialist does not make them a cudgel wielding censor

"By then Alexa was getting a billion interactions per week, but most of those conversations were trivial, commands to play music or ask about the weather. That meant less opportunities to monetize. Amazon can't make money from Alexa telling you the weather — and playing music through the Echo only gives Amazon a small piece of the proceeds."

I get that Amazon doesn't make money on those things, but those are the things that I value. I might be willing to pay them to stop saying "Did you know that I can also <thing I don't care about>? Would you like to try that now?".

Turning 80, Biden faces an age-old question: How old is too old to be president?
> In that case you'd probably have a lot of empty trips, dropping the average occupancy of cars below 1

Not sure. Think about people driving others somewhere and then have to drive back, e.g. their children, drunk people or a friend to the airport etc.

In addition, to reduce the price, people could share a car dynamically - that would essentially be a mix between private and public transport. I think overall those points would probably rather reduce the number of rides. If anything, it would be the convenience that increases the rides - but at least that comes with a real benefit.

And for congestion - it would probably be the total opposite. Look at cities and much percentage of the road is blocked by parking vehicles. Imagine 90% are gone. Roads gonna be bigger - that alone would be a huge pro.
