Even though we see a steady increase in jobs and wages, that doesn't mean that there were periods when in certain communities almost everybody lost their job. There are places / cities in many regions that relied mostly on one factory or industry, and as the employers collapsed, so did the communities. Many never recovered, because you can't just tell a 60 year old miner to requalify.
We choose not to do it - and I dont believe its calls for subsidy alone, if you build 100,000+ market rate units in SF Bay, PDX, or SEA - the price for market rate housing will drop, by some measurable amount. You keep letting developers build housing until there is no more demand to build more, even if it's the foo-foo luxury apartments - they will put downward price pressure on the 3rd floor walkups.
I think any company who feels they are in the lead with something competitive would do the same. The ones who open their standards were behind to begin with and that's their way of combating the proprietary competition.
Sampling is not illegal, there is just a fairly fuzzy line regarding when you have to give a little to the source and that line is rather easy to work around if you don't want to share the profits. It is impossible to draw the line between fair use sampling and outright copying of anothers work and keeping that line fuzzy is better for hip-hop than a hard line. If the source could be identified through the sample than you give credit and seek permission, if you don't get permission or the cost is too dear than you learn from the past.

Planet Rock was improved by their not being able to get rights to the Tans-Europe Express sample, their immitation may not be quite right to the original but it caused them to develop it and do more with it than they could have done with the sample itself.
>Voodoo Graphics and GLide were the standard in the PC graphics space for a time. 3dfx created an industry that is going strong today, and that industry has affected far more than just gaming. GPUs now power multiple functions in our computers, and they enable AI work as well.

>This tale brings up many “what ifs.”

What if 3dfx had realized early on that GPUs were excellent general purpose linear algebra computers, and had incorporated GPGPU functionality into GLide in the late 90s?

Given its SGI roots, this is not implausible. And given how NVidia still has a near stranglehold on the GPGPU market today, it’s also plausible that this would have kept 3dfx alive.
I am not sure that I agree life is quite as black and white to where that maxim can always hold true.

I think we can agree that intent/means used to achieve an outcome certainly do matter (more deonotological/Kantian philosophical worldview), but I do believe that consequences/outcomes of action and/or inaction certainly matter as well.

All sorts of mental gymnastics we could go through as to my reasoning, but I try to be cautious in accepting strict maxims as absolute truths.
He's got to be taking the piss.

> The lines in red are the sectors where technological innovation is not permitted to push down prices; in fact, the prices of education, health care, and housing as well as anything provided or controlled by the government are going to the moon, even as those sectors are technologically stagnant.

I don't mean to dunk or anything but surely it's a bit ridiculous to talk about housing here. He's literally the guy opposing it.

Baffling post.
There is a file generated by Quartus at https://github.com/alfikpl/ao486/blob/df6eba123654fdf3e3058c... I'm not sure, but it does seem mostly manual. I tend to agree that RTL is somehow particularly mind numbing. I would guess that in order to keep track of things you may have a large block diagram on paper beforehand.
You can use the include syntax for Makefiles in order to include your environment variables.

Alternately, set those vars in your shell RC and it'll work too when the shell is spawned.

IME it's stabler to kick off automation or build processes from a clean slate anyways, clearing the environment and setting specific values as required from a file.
Like have they actually demonstrated this in a city block for them to receive a patent on the mere idea?
There are no jobs in those places, and if there are, little housing, or little way for the people sleeping in a tent somewhere to go there. Furthermore people are afraid of moving to places they know no one, further away from their support network and familiarity - so they dont.
> Sometimes, like with CUDA, they just have an early enough lead that they entrench.

The problem in case of CUDA isn't just that NVIDIA was there early, it's that AMD and Khronos still offer no viable alternative after more than a decade. I've switched to CUDA half a year ago after trying to avoid it for years due to being proprietary. Unfortunately I discovered that CUDA is absolutely amazing - It's easy to get started, developer friendly in that it "just works" (which is never the case for Khronos APIs and environments), and it's incredibly powerful, kind of like programming C++17 for 80 x 128 SIMD processors. I wish there was a platform independent alternative, but OpenCL, Sycl, ROCm aren't it.
-1 is not an allowed operator in my puzzle.
IBM 3590 and 3592 SCSI drives support the "READ REVERSE" SCSI command[1] which (in variable-block transfer mode) is equivalent to the "READ BACKWARD" channel command.

For application details, see Knuth volume 3 [2], which even has a fold-out chart illustrating tape (and tape operator) movements involved in various sorting algorithms[3].

In brief, reading backwards allows you to use tape as a stack.

It always amuses me that the 'high prices are a market signal to produce more' belief only seems to apply in areas other than housing and financial risk assets.

Funny that.
I had a PowerMac 6500/300 back in my mid-teens as my first computer.

To play games I later bought a PC Voodoo 3 which you could flash with a Mac-version ROM. Much cheaper than buying an actual Max version.

Unreal was incredible. The whole card was incredible.

Later I put a Linux distro on the computer too, and I needed a custom patch to the kernel (2.2.18, I think) to get the Voodoo drivers working for accelerated 2D and 3D rather than the software frame buffer. It was incredible to see a Gnome 1.4 or KDE 2 desktop in high res perform really well.

It was also pretty buggy. Due to experimental drivers in both Linux and Mac, I assume. The weirdest was that sometimes a bug in Linux would dump whatever was in memory on the screen, which softly after booting from Mac to Linux could result in Mac OS 9 windows appearing on a Linux desktop. You obviously couldn’t interact, it would happen in a kernel panic type event where the computer would freeze with an odd mix of stuff on the screen.

Was a fun intro to Linux, not getting a nice windowing environment till after I’d learnt to patch and compile a kernel.

Back then it was normal to play with more OSs it seems like. That computer had Mac, Linux, BeOS and more on it.
personally I like the SVGA screenshots much better
I believe firmly they are two different cohorts, and if you stay homeless longer and longer, you start to homogenize into the other cohort and pick up there comorbidities of that cohort.
IDK documents such as TFA kind of make it seem like it's not exactly "everyone" making these decisions for us.
That's certainly part of it, but also I think that, in the face of infinite gender/relationship/careers possibilities, they're (rather sensibly) leaning on tradition for guidance.
Except it isn't, and the failure of most people to perceive this nuance could be catastrophic.

We have never created (and we still haven't, but recent advances are starting to become frightening) an artificial replacement for general human cognition. General cognition is the only thing that makes us special and valuable. Replace that, and most of us will be reduced to just another discardable animal.

This could end up great, and could usher in a post-scarcity future. There are also a number of dystopias, and outright near-extinction scenarios that could result if the wrong actors develop AGI first.
Since Boehm is a conservative GC, it sometimes won't be able to free things because it can't eliminate every false positive. So I guess you might want to free some things sometimes.

Although I don't see many situations where this would happen reliably so that you'd know when it's needed.
>Are you with a straight face arguing that autocracies are morally equivalent to democracies?

I judge morals by actions not by labels. If a country dropped a nuclear bomb on hiroshima slaughtering millions of innocent civilians. I don't judge that country based off of a label of "democracy", I judge it based off of action.

If a country kills millions of people by letting them starve to death than that country is ALSO judged.

Not only do I not Judge a country based off of a label. But I don't hold any loyalties to ANY country. I don't join teams or take sides. I judge dispassionately with ZERO patriotism. Patriotism is bias. You should not hold it for a country or for a philosophy. If democracy has issues I judge it, it communism has issues I also judge it.

This idea of the ludicrousy of asking the question: "Are you with a straight face arguing that autocracies are morally equivalent to democracies" is raw garbage. I don't take sides. EVER. And I hold all things equal until I look at evidence and form conclusions from that ONLY.

>It's no coincidence that the three bloodiest mass murderers of the 20th century -- Hitler, Stalin and Mao -- were all dictators, and while the US has done and continues to do a whole lot of repugnant shit, nothing comes close to any of these three.

It's not a competition. The point for why I pointed out atrocities in America was to sort of tone down the bias against China. To help people see that there are negative aspects of both countries and to help eliminate this idea that a democratic country is some kind of paragon for moral goodness. It is not.

Many Americans are blinded by the current cold war rivalry that they are unable to see the things that China got right. China EXCELS and is SUPERIOR then the west in many areas. One of these areas is large scale response and organization to potential threats LIKE the pandemic.
It's pretty easy for those to be race conditions, too. Plenty of one time crashes in a fleet of thousands of machines with ECC. ECC lets you know it's almost certainly not a memory issue.

10% more fps doesn't matter at 150 fps, but it's nice when your FPS is lower. 60 -> 66 might mean you don't dip below 60 as often. 55 -> 60.5 is pretty nice too. Maybe less of a deal if you've got VRR etc.

Or write an infinitely long source code. This is technically---and I stress only technically---possible in not all but many languages, where an infinitely sized code is not explicitly disallowed. C is a surprisingly rare counterexample, which even doesn't allow for an infinitely sized memory anyway (because the pointer should be finitely sized).
> a few places that aren't going to be held back by regulation and bureaucracy: China, India, most of Africa

Lack of bureaucracy and government control are not defining features of these places.
The amount of shit takes on that thread are astonishing from people wanting to paint Hector's comments in a bad light. Trying to twist his words to extrapolate a meaning that isn't there. Of course, there are tons of people who also have no clue how hardware support comes into being. Some hardware is buggy on linux, has been and may always will be. A lot of the reason is, either the drivers had to be reverse engineer, which takes a lot of time and effort. Or, something that happens a lot, vendors throw together shitty drivers and call it a day. No hate for the SEs at these companies though. Some of these companies invest all their money in the development of hardware and clench up the purse strings once it comes time to write the actual drivers. Then from here, either the driver is open source and no one gives a damn to go fix the driver, or your back at needing to do some reverse engineering.
> If Intel warrants their CPUs to be at TjMax 24/7, it's a good sign that it shouldn't be a problem.

It certainly does work. I was working on some manufacturing equipment in 2018. The 2010 release 1st Gen i3 had a centimeter gap between the IHS and the HSF. The Intel HSF thermal compound had not been touched, it was like new. The CPU had run thermal throttled to about 700MHz for eight years, continuously. Properly attached the HSF, the slowness and thermal throttling went away.
Reference counting also usually has lower peak memory and scans less memory so is friendlier when you have either battery power or swap, ie, any non-server use case.
it’s the kind of site I could appreciate notifications from. Especially since it’s not demanding my time and attention, and is quite fun and lovely.

I kept my last system (i5-2500K) for a decade, and only replaced it (i5-12400F) because it was getting flaky powering back on when turned off, which I assumed was the motherboard. If it still worked then I probably wouldn't have upgraded.
> You're citing gross profits, when what you actually want to look at is net income, no?

No, for one thing net income is after taxes, if that had been paid out in wages the taxes wouldn't have been assessed.
Yes. You might call the emergence of ownership that is contingent on the whims of a megacorporation rent-seeking.
That's only possible because the Atherton government listens to him and nothing else stops the local government.

So we should probably start doing some experiments to better understand genetic biology then.
Belief in your own technology, even if it is good, as it turns out, is often insufficient to really win. At some point, in computing, you need some ecosystem buy in, and you almost certainly will not be able to go it alone.

Nvidia seems utterly disinterested in learning these lessons, decades in now: they just gets more and more competitive, less and less participatory. It wild. On the one hand they do a great job maintaining products like the Nvidia Shield TV. On the other hand, if you try anything other than Linux4Tegra (l4t) on most of their products (the Android devices wont work at all for anything but Android btw) it probably wont work at all or will be miserable.

Nvidia has one of the weirdest moats, of being open source like & providing ok-ish open source mini-worlds, but you have to stay within 100m of the keep or it all falls apart. And yea, a lot of people simply dont notice. Nvidia has attracted a large camp-followers group, semi-tech folk, that they enable, but who dont really grasp the weird limited context they are reserved on.
Not answering your specific question, or strawman to discredit cynicism, but to your point, the cynicism comes from manifesting not being something that can be substantiated by any metric.

“Having a goal” doesn't need telekinetic abilities or a connection with a sentient universe that alters other people’s behaviors for your benefit. Whereas manifesting and similar concepts rely on this. Additionally, they rely on any positive outcome to be retroactively attributed to what was manifested. And negative outcomes to be attributed to not manifesting hard enough. Both the manifesting and the outcome are unilaterally made by an individual and have no ability to be part of any statistic to judge its utility, hence the unsubstantiated nature, in fact it exempts itself from being able to be substantiated.
Not up-skilling but down-skilling. AI is going to come for the mathematicians and radiologists first and work its way down to the pizza delivery boys. This is because robotics is a couple of decades behind. Anyone with a desk job as a knowledge worker is most at risk.
Why would this be specific to AirPods? I've never heard of Bose-induced tinnitus, and if it were a thing you'd think it would be well known by now.
A homeless shelter is not solving homelessness -

Furthermore - lets just look at some of the common rules imposed on the homeless seeking housing -

* No Pets

* No Visitors

* Curfew Time

* Limits on the number of people per unit (meaning, families and couples cannot always be accommodated together)

- and a host of others. Also in some places there is a requirement that you have a social worker, and/or receiving mental healthcare treatment - except there are long waiting periods.

For most long term homeless people telling them "you have to give up your dog" will keep them on the streets - we need "housing, no questions asked" rather "housing with rules". Most short term homeless do not qualify for these programs - it turns into a kind of License Raj to try to get in, and maintain your status in these programs.

If you want to impose your moral vision on people, thats fine and dandy, the jesus-people have been doing it for decades with their missions on skid row, but that wont solve homelessness.

I believe there is no such thing as 'unworthy poor' all poverty is worth solving, because the broader societal costs in not solving poverty is corrosive on wider society - and the first step to solving poverty is attacking the homelessnes problem.

Khronos is only responsible for OpenGL since 2006 (essentially 3.0), DirectX 8 came out in 2000. In the relevant timeframe for the OP, the ARB was responsible, which has nothing to do with Vulkan.
I mean a new shell within VSCode wont pick up env var changes made after VSCode was launched.

So it is roughly analogous:

VSCode ~ tmux server

VSCode shell ~ tmux pane

This is all expected and ergonomic I agree.
Going out to places where there would be people who share my interests and partaking in the festivities has always worked for me and I am borderline misanthrope.
The reason technology doesn't net destroy jobs is that things that destroy jobs lower costs, which leaves people with more money in their pockets, which creates jobs.

What net destroys jobs is things that unproductively increase costs. Resources that are wasted can't be used for productive labor that improves quality of life.
> But many people also said they would be less bothered if there was a defined migration path and tooling to help.

If things were left as-is (allowing unknown keywords), it would be straightforward to write a tool that checks "upgrade compatibility" for a schema. If it's using keywords that were unknown under the old JSON Schema version but are now supported, the schema must be fixed before the JSON Schema version can be upgraded.
My guess is that it’s much harder to develop rendering algorithms (e.g. shaders) for NURBSes. It’s easy and efficient to compute and interpolate surface normals for polygons (the Phong shader is dead simple [0], and thus easy to extend). Basic shading algorithms are much more complicated for a NURBS [1], and thus sufficiently computationally inefficient that you might as well discretize the NURBS to a polygonal mesh (indeed, this is what 3D modeling programs do). At that point, you might as well model the polygonal mesh directly; I don’t think NURBS-based modeling is significantly easier than mesh-based modeling for the 3D artist.

I've always wondered why the latin alphabet doesn't have a keyboard like that. It would totally work. With 26 letters (plus additional letters in some languages), you could assign the 10 most common letters to each key, then assign the lesser-used letters to swipes. Capital letters would work as shown in the video: tap the letter, then tap the "capitalize" button to transform it to a capital letter.

A T I del
O E S space
cap N ,.?! enter

Obviously you would have to learn the layout, but I don't think it would take very long to get proficient.

I've experimented with using traditional T9 with predictive text on my smartphone (Samsung phones have it pre-installed, you just need to enable it), and for typing sentences it can be incredibly quick, but it completely falls down as soon as you can't rely on the prediction system, such as for passwords and URLs. So I always end up switching back to the cramped QWERTY keyboard.

You are assuming that the economics of house building is such that developers would do as many projects as they could if only they were allowed to, but even in the current market, property developers are still very picky and have to make sure they can make a decent profit; land costs are only one part of that. If you let developers build 100,000 market rate places in one city, (a) they actually don’t have the resources (labor, capital) to do that in some reasonable time frame and (b) they would pull back if sale prices began dropping below their costs plus profit margin.
> Communist-inspired Universal Basic Income

Which communist country has or had UBI? Because I am not aware of any, nor do I regard it as communist.

So what do I mean by communism? All economies are run by a mixture of markets and commands. Communism is any economy that is largely command-based (all real economies are a mixture of the two, of course). UBI is where someone is given a regular amount of money and can spend it however they like (i.e. market based).

The USSR was not run like this. Instead it was command-based, e.g. Krushchev build millions of Krushchevkas (standardised apartment housing) and people were allocated an apartment.

So when Andreessen says "Communist-inspired Universal Basic Income" what he really means is presumably "I disapprove of UBI so I'm going to smear it by inaccurately associating it with something I presume my readers dislike". IMO this is deeply dishonest.
