Martin Skreli (yes, pharma bro) did an analysis of Nvidia recently, highlighting the importance of the data centre revenue segment to Nvidia's business. Basically they need that segment to grow and grow over the coming years, otherwise there is no real justification for their sky high P/E (crypto mining is in the toilet, many gamers already upgraded their GPUs during the pandemic, possible recession looming so fanciful overpriced GPU spending will be impacted).

No, and in fact that would be impractical, because you can't do anything useful (e.g., any I/O whatsoever) without ultimately either calling into a non-Rust library or issuing system calls directly, both of which are unsafe.

Because cars are expensive, large, and there are only a very few models (relatively) that share tons of parts.

Bikes are smaller and cheaper and the parts are not as interchangeable unless you can weld (and if you have cheap bikes you just buy new).
First, people don't know that bicycle components are replaceable and fairly standardized. Second, replacing a few worn out parts with decent quality replacements costs more than a new bike-shaped object.
As another new thing it is also useful in the real world.
> It sucks, it teaches people to rely on search, and not even Google is good at finding stuff on that level.

It’s weird how bad google search is within drive. Yesterday I was searching for my monthly expense tracker and couldn’t remember where I put it. I searched for “form” and nothing came back. I searched for “expense form” and nothing came back. I sorted by recent and couldn’t find it. I pulled up a list of all forms and saw it as I titled it “Monthly Expenses Tracking Form.” I cursed google, wondered briefly how search fouled up and went about my day.

Thinking back now, I guess they are doing complete word tracking so searching for “expense” won’t find “expenses” but not sure why it didn’t return for “form.” I guess I can start embedding seo spam at the bottom of my own personal forms so I can find them.

I have a newer touring bike with a steel frame. My bike-obsessed friend tells me too that the "ride" on a steel frame is more forgiving — aluminum frames being hard and more inflexible.

At the same time I also picked up a 1980's or 90's era bicycle on Craigslist for $100 that, after new tires/tubes is a great steel bike as well. There's just something about those tube + brazed-lugged bike frames....

Cycling as a hobby is associated with affluent white people which skews the perception. But the last time I looked into this for my own country, a huge portion of bike users were basically immigrants riding it a couple miles though a city on a daily basis to their low wage, possibly undocumented, jobs.

I'm not saying these items are good in any material way, or that these people shouldn't have better options. But pushing up the minimum price of bikes could be damaging for people who use it as a necessary transport, rather than a hobby or exercise.

55k is not that much imo. ~50k people are born everyday in China and if we assume that the same number reach an age where they need a bike everyday the number seems quite reasonable. Maybe even a bit low taking the export market into account.

edited: Also lots of great durable bikes are made in China.
By now I am collecting the examples of ChatGPT and now bing getting obvious things spectacularly wrong, and sharing them with the less techy friends, as a warning.

Yeah, because San Francisco barely builds anything.
Sometimes, but not always.

In cases where you need a floored result, or need it rounded in a certain direction, or know that the divisor is always positive, the compiler will often give you sub-optimal assembly. And sometimes the compiler just randomly fails to inline or constant-fold and outputs a big fat IDIV.

Also, if you have to debug with optimizations disabled, the compiler will give you deliberately garbage code, which can make the program you're debugging unusably slow. So you often end up hand-optimizing for that case.

Of course, this depends on where the hot path is, but I've had to do a lot of optimization for code that gets run billions of times per second. I used to think compilers were really smart, but after staring at enough assembly output and learning all their tricks, they don't seem that smart anymore. Especially Microsoft's compiler; I've seen it output redundant division instructions!
I think we do different things with our bikes, but this resonated with me.

I've had people comment on my bike before. I have to admit it looks like the jokes about mechanic's cars. It is what's left of a 2010 Trek hard tail.

Simplicity wins every time. I used it for transportation year round - Southern Ontario winters are a salty, slushy mess. Over the years every replacement was thought out.

Single speed up front instead of the triple it came with. Cheap squishy fork was replaced with a rigid one. Kept the 8 speed drive train. Lock on grips because they come off easy. Those brake-shifter combos suck, gone, can replace one or the other now.

A good expensive derailleur dissolves just as fast in crap conditions. If you have 15 kg in a rack on the back, who cares about saving 300g on a seat post?

I can replace the entire drive train for really cheap now.

I forgot to mention that disc brakes win every time. Who wants to replace rims? Plus that keeps the braking surface out of the muck.
"It's just one HTTP client. There are better ones."

Why don't you stop being intentionally vague and tell us which ones, and what makes them better?

Because if there is something better than curl, with its enormous scope in protocols and platforms, and free of charge to boot, I would surely like to know.

Curl's installed base is enormous. If everyone who uses curl had to switch to some other solution tomorrow, that would mean millions of developer hours wasted. If anything, the author of curl should be paid more.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

I'll try anyway to express my though again.

As an example: The analysis by the Governors Highway Safety Association, a nonprofit that represents state highway safety offices, found that pedestrian deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic had spiked significantly, as speeding and impaired and distracted driving proliferated

Now it would be incorrect to say that COVID-19 is dangerous for pedestrians, even though it happened due to COVID-19, the root cause has been speeding and impaired and distracted driving.

In the same way population growth is not directly correlated linearly to an increase of the number of pedestrians fatalities.

If, for example, a family of 2 moves into a new city but they never leave the house because they are both old and disabled, the population has grown, but the risks for pedestrians haven't.

In the case I used in the previous comment, more people walking doesn't correlate with more fatalities, it's in fact the opposite. There are more people walking, true, but in a much safer space for them.

So population growth makes sense as an health problem only if it produces more pedestrians, in particular more pedestrians at risk.

For example an higher driver/pedestrian ratio, which in the end is the same thing of more pedestrians. To use a bad analogy, for which I apologize in advance, it doesn't matter if there are more "targets" for cars to hit or more cars are hitting more of the same number of "targets", the result is roughly the same.

If we look at it as an health problem the only conclusion that makes sense is that the less pedestrians and other road vehicles cross their paths, the more pedestrians fatalities will go down, regardless of population growth.
i think the mean usage among all bike sharing systems is much lower
Are they sure it's only pedestrians? Or it's actually the number of car accidents overall?

I don't have statistics but around where i am, based on the news, everyone forgot how to drive / drove more recklessly starting with the Covid lockdowns. But it's not the number of pedestrian deaths, it's deadly car accidents overall.

Problem is, lots of players in the ML world are making their own homegrown accelerator cards. Facebook, Google (TPU), Tesla (Dojo), etc.

I think the next decade will be one of fragmented and incompatible compute platforms, with all the big companies trying to do AI-as-a-service, rather than selling accelerator cards.

Bed lengths for reference...
54" Rivian R1T
54" Ford Maverick
64" Honda Ridgeline

I own a Ridgeline. The bed is fine for chucking some camping gear, but it's nowhere near long enough for lumber, sheetrock, etc. Mountain bikes don't fit upright, even with the front wheel off.

The Rivian is 17" longer overall than a Maverick and 7" longer than the Honda. It's bed is really small - fine for casual use, but hardly suitable for "working truck stuff". And that's not the market Rivian is targeting, so that's fine.

This is a very good example actually, construction work is a really popular summer gig for students in my country (Poland). They know nothing and don't care about the domain (building houses), they just follow supervisors and the designs.
You can't give them an entire house to build, but they are very useful and cheap members of the crew.

They'll never be architects (they don't want to), but they'll earn enough to buy whatever students want and they'll always find some work no matter what is being built and where.

I agree that your definition is more useful. In the article they define 'middle class':

> whose incomes fall in the middle 60% of American incomes, which is what Brookings defines as the middle class

So we have a conflict of definitions: your socioeconomic definition, and this purely statistical definition. Evidently, many people somewhere got the idea that these two should roughly correspond to each other.
New iPhone SE with 6.1-Inch OLED Display and Apple's 5G Chip Planned
My experience with the cheap bikes is that literally every component is garbage, and if one fails, it's not long before something else does.

The frames can sometimes be fairly durable, but I've had plenty of mount points shear off and stuff like that, even if the frame doesn't outright fail.

The other problem is that the entire design is often just kitsch 'fashion' and 'disposable', and even if you could fix it/upcycle it economically, it's so heavily 'styled' as to make it undesirable.
The idea that a normal bike is the preserve of "affluent white folks" is frankly bizarre. Racist and just incorrect.

We're talking about 2-3 days minimum wage in the UK. Less if second-hand. Second hand actual bikes are usually less expensive than new BSO's anyway.

Second hand BSO's are barely even usable.

The most common consumer bikes aren't meant to ridden aggressively. Even those suffer from perpetual incompatibility due to trends.

Compare that to something like Toyota Carolla or Honda Civic. Parts are often interchangeable across model years. There's a huge stock in junk yards.

A decent off road bicycle is niche in comparison. Every 2-3 years some new standard is introduced.

> The world at large has never, and I mean never, understood files and folders.

This doesn’t mean not to use an analogy to organize information. Most people don’t understand Dewey decimal, but that doesn’t mean libraries of the future should abandon it.

Files and folders are at least teachable and correspond to many successful life patterns (eg, kids put their toys in their cubby and their friends put their toys in their cubby. This makes it easier to find the next day at school).

I would like to see more work done on graphs of folders instead of just hierarchies. When google docs first started you could have lots of labels and organize the same file into multiple “folders.” But I think they did away with this when they switched to drive and had to represent as a folder structure.

I think an easy way would be to have lots of bins and link them together with lots of edges that could be hierarchies or topics or subjects. If I have to project it onto a file system then use lots of symlinks to put the same file in multiple places.

Different markets can behave wildly differently. Not just different states/cities but different kind of homes too (appartment vs single family, size, standing, etc).

So talking about the overall market always hides big differences in each market.
Isn't that exactly what's happening?

A pre-seed investor invests in assets they think seed investors are going to like, seed investors invest in assets they think series-A investors are going to like, series-A investors invest in assets they think series-B investors are going to like, ..., series-whatever investors invest in assets they think IPO-subscribers are going to like, IPO-subscribers subscribe to assets they think the secondary market is going to like.

At some point in the process someone goes: ...hang on a minute. But by that time, the asset is owned by you and me, through the indirection of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and the like.
Bicycle parts are incredibly standardized compared to cars. Outside exotic racing bikes almost every brand uses the same Shimano parts or compatible copies from other brands. And even between component brands, the way the components attach to frames are somewhat standardized so replacing an entire Shimano drivetrain with Campagnolo or vice versa is possible. The problem is that there are a bit too many standards now.
> become more and more restrictive as time goes on, despite the capabilities of such computers increasing regularly

True, and it is to be expected that existing interests will seek to integrate any new tricks into the old patterns

The question is to what extend this can go on without imploding. How big the mismatch between what you could do with a mobile or a desktop or a decentralized cluster of millions of computers and what you actually do before some random bug in a typewriter short-circuits the entire system.

People are banking on widespread digital transformation as one of the few major economic growth drivers in an otherwise exhausted opportunity landscape - the literally scorched Earth. I fail to see, though, how this regeneration could possibly be achieved with parasitic business models and behaviors. We should not think just about individuals or "consumers", as in this role we are effectively disenfranchised, but our role in all sorts of private and public organizations that collectively have much more political and economic weight than "big tech".
I use tons of things on it. When I use my laptop, often I'll run a local browser (though sometimes I run remote browsers too - Chromium's core works actually surprisingly well on a remote X link - but the bigger problem there is that chromium doesn't support multiple instances, so if I left the browser open on the desktop, the cookies and history aren't shared on the remote instance on the laptop which defeats the purpose of reusing the instance anyway, but sometimes the shared passwords still nice to have) with most everything else being run remote.

Among the specific applications are my developer tools, image viewers, music editors, the apps I'm actually working on, etc. Of course, some of these also work fine on ssh terminals and I do plenty of that too, but there's just no need to be limited and I'll run whatever I want to.
It never succeeded to able to fail :) . Last I remember was an artice a few years ago describing how this scheme worked - basically it was a pyramid (incoming dictionary warriors in 3...2...1...), when earlier believers were inviting new people in the sect, to operate these orbs for pittance, and a fraction of funds from newcomers was given to early members. Where the money came in the first place I don't remember, but I won't be surprised if it was from a VC injections.

CSS has several long-standing problems in a similar vein to this one, most famous being the “center a div” problem. A simple-to-specify end result (“I just want to center this content within its parent”) is desired, a series of arcane CSS magic invocations are devised and become accepted as the standard invocation to solve the problem (usually using translateX/Y -50%), and eventually a series of formal and more general solutions are implemented in the CSS spec that solve the problem in progressively fewer lines of CSS (first “display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;”, now we are down to “place-self: center;”). It’s good to see that the problem of anchoring tooltips is progressing through this process!
This sucks. Everybody knows that CP/M was written in PL/M, which was its one and only good feature. It was reasonably easy to extend to various projects.
