What API are they using for interfacing with the GPU (ie. OpenGL, Vulkan, other ) ?

I suspect a lot of time is likely to be spent on the CPU side updating vertex and other data and pushing it to the GPU so it would be useful to have some more detail on how they are handling that.
Still a pretty strange choice for a site which wants "people to learn, grow, and contribute to a diverse and better-functioning society" [1], considering that Laos is a one-party communist dictatorship. Not the only weird situation surrounding that TLD though [2][3].

This will end badly when they do get hacked and people will suffer for it. I get that you don't want to be on the ball for it, but you're better of spending on annual security audits and ensuring any raised concerns are addressed in a reasonable time frame vs getting a few lawyers together to write something that says even if we "somehow" got hacked, we will not be liable we tried not to!

Nobody expects to be hacked until it happens.
I think what the OP is implying is that there should never have been a war in Ukraine. Obviously they are fighting to survive and for the sovereignty of their nation.

I agree with they OP that this is a proxy war but it's ultimately between china and the USA. Both Russia and Ukraine are caught as pawns in a much larger game. You only have to look at which companies are allowed to bypass sanctions to sell and see it's a game being played with the lives of people. Very sad.

Landlords have costs and rates of return compete with other investments. So a lower rent will result in, in aggregate obviously as individuals differ, landlords selling their rentals and putting that capital elsewhere with higher returns. It’s more likely that an owner occupier would buy than a new landlord (for reasons above since rate of return is lower) so there will be fewer units available for rent.

So it’s good news on people looking to buy, but bad news for people looking to rent. Sometimes renters are wannabe buyers but frequently renters have different desires and don’t want to buy.

The solution, I think, to the 30k income/300k house is to build more affordable housing. So that means getting condos down to $75-100k. In my area double incomes are common so many houses are built assuming two incomes, so at 60k that means 150-200k for a home to be affordable.

In the US the median salary per worker is $50k [0]. This will vary quite a bit based on geography but this means the “median affordable home” should be $150k or $300k for double income households.

> Why are you conflating scientific research (something that is paid), with art that was freely uploaded to social media sites and message boards?

Was it paid? How do you know? A lot of research is done by Ph.D. students, who are paid if you're lucky. Often though they are in fact paying for a degree.

Moreover, science and art are often held as two sides of the same coin, because they are both fields that don't generate profit, yet society has deemed socially necessary enough to fund them. So even though scientists and artists are held to be opposites personality wise, the roles they play in society are actually very similar. This means their works are also exploited in a similar way.

> Microsoft Designer is not spitting out composites of stolen research, it is creating composites of art that can't be matched back to the original.

We could accurately say that Microsoft is profiting off of research done by students who go uncompensated. If a starving artist should be paid because their drawing went into a diffusion model that Microsoft profits off of, why shouldn't a starving student who wrote a paper that MS read to create their diffusion model be compensated as well?

> Perhaps you should disclose what AI is stealing from you. For me, nothing, because my career is in an area where I don't have to publicly share my work.

Well, that's one of the problems isn't it? Microsoft doesn't have to disclose or attribute any of the works that went into the production of this technology. But in the general case, if you walk through the OpenAI offices, you'll find stacks of research papers, whose authors are listed readily on those papers. If the artists get in on a royalty cut, I don't see why every one of those authors shouldn't as well (and for that matter all the open source devs whose code is running on their systems).

The most -- or, only -- fascinating thing about this article is that NPR doesn't compress their stream when sending it out to local stations.

Everyone compresses. Especially in FM radio. And if you know people downstream of you will compress your content, then generally you do it first, so you have control over how it's done.

Apparently the NPR way, at least in 2015, was to throw up their hands and give complete control over multiband compression to the local stations, which is kind of interesting.

RSUs tend to be considered lower risk to employees. For instance if you were issued options last year when stripe was valued at double what it is now, there is a good chance your options are underwater.

With RSUs while the value has gone down, they are at least worth something, if you could sell them.

Also, Stripe was in hiring competition with companies who used RSU compensation as a major component of total comp. This allowed them to more easily do an apples to apples comparison.

Landlords do very important thing in market. They provide capital. And housing is perfectly good example of capital.

Go through history and tally up the human rights violations done by companies and govts and see who the leader is.

The govt has an army, police, and jails. The govt has legal means to use violence against people and deny them their freedoms. Any company that could do that would be doing it with the blessing of the govt first, which kinda just makes them a govt contractor.

I think you might be missing the point of this comment: OP was saying that this is an additional expense involved in owning your own data. In reality, the people who would otherwise store your data aren't getting a lawyer for a warrant response, beyond validation that the warrant is legitimate. The "economy of scale" that 3rd party services have here is that they don't care if you go to prison.

Having a lawyer do the basics is really cheap. Having a lawyer fight the warrant or craft a minimally-revealing response is expensive. You don't have to break the bank if you end up getting served a warrant.
Two pieces of context I got from other news stories: (1) “Sanders' signing of the bill comes after a major US food sanitation company that operated facilities in eight states, including Arkansas, recently paid a $1.5 million civil penalty for employing minors in hazardous conditions. Packers Sanitation Services illegally employed at least 102 children between the ages of 13 and 17 in jobs that required them to use toxic chemicals and clean razor-sharp saws.“ and (2) this is the result of a major Federal crackdown on child labor announced a month ago. There are also similar bills advancing in other states that seem problematic to me: “a bill advancing in Iowa would allow 14- and 15-year-olds to work certain jobs in meatpacking plants and would shield businesses from civil liability if a youth worker is sickened, injured or killed on the job.”

I suppose there’s a bright-eyed idealistic view that these state legislatures just happened to make this change now, because they suddenly want to make it easier for kids to get part-time jobs at the ice cream parlor (despite the fact that work permits have existed for many years.) A more cynical view is that we’re in a labor crunch and major industrial processors are desperate for (mostly migrant) workers, so state politicians are rolling back child-labor protections to oblige them and reduce their liability. Nothing about Arkansas politics has ever inclined me to the idealist view.
Actually, NYC is a major concern in terms of water quality because it's very common for buildings to have old plumbing that releases trace heavy metals, and many buildings use rooftop water reservoirs that are a common source of organic contaminants (and occasionally cause building-wide outbreaks of things like legionella).

Similar issues exist in most 'older' US cities. I started becoming worried about my water filter efficacy after moving to downtown DC and learning that a significant portion of the municipal water supply's last mile piping contains lead, and that while the municipal water is safe at the source, water in DC housing is often heavily contaminated by lead and other compounds resulting from the use of extremely aged pipe infrastructure.

And before JTAG you had in-circuit emulators which could cost tens of thousands of dollars. And even today we're spoiled by Seeger JLink. The Lauterbach tools used to be the only game in town for ARM besides ARM's own stuff and it was all crazy expensive. But it was pretty powerful too.

And back in those days if you were a high volume customer you got all the development tools for nothing. But that didn't help startups and tinkerers at all. Hacking hardware in the early days was not easy.

$40k is less than the average salary in Sweden while $350k is probably at least top 5% in the US (even without all the very relevant differences).

Sweden for the most part sucks these days but part of that is the idea that you can lounge through some average free education and then get $350k while leaving early on Fridays.

Yes, some Americans are born wealthy and some have a lot of privilege. Everyone else, at least that I've known, works at it. Often for 15 years. Then they might get $350k, or laid off.

RSU don’t allow an 83b. Stripe issued double trigger RSU so the tax is only due when the second trigger occurs, which hasn’t happened yet.

Some of the RSU have upcoming expiration dates as required by IRS rule. To avoid those expiration dates Stripe wants to do something. That something probably involves a big tax withholding for Stripe that must be paid in cash.

Stripe doesn’t intend to go public soon so is seeking an alternate way to come up with that cash.

The timing hack is a workaround for a browser bug. The exact same hack would be required in React as well. What is this browser bug I speak of? Browsers send a spurious "hover" event when you stop scrolling, so that the item under mouse can be highlighted. This can cause problems in some cases.

If some part of your application intentionally does something wrong, it can break your application whether it is React or some other tech. In this particular example, if you prefer, you can have a member variable to keep track of whether the dropdown is visible or not. Still no need for React.

As you can see, none of the complexity of React is necessary. No need for hooks, useEffect, useState, useMemo and all that crap.

All current Ryzen CPUs do not work with 48GB DDR5, right?
That means if you want to go beyond 128GB you can get an old X399 board (there are some reports of people getting 256GB to work) or more recent Threadripper boards.
Because that's not all it is.

They didn't just take a console and slap a solar panel on top and wired that into the battery compartment.

They took a new CPU, buttons, etc. and run an inefficient emulator (goes to show how big the energy budget is) with auto save state before turning off from lack of light/button energy.

Arguably, the former is way more useful in the short run, as you could actually use it for more than ten seconds at a time and retrofit any device easily. But as a research project, the latter is way more useful because it might pave the path to this being viable in the future and having an entirely new class of devices.

They’re not free; they’re $5/month. I know it sounds pedantic but on first read I thought, ok, so 200 free searches in addition to whatever you get for $5, which is… what? It makes it feel more complex than it is.

I cannot stress how much I do not want my 300w gpu to be used to render text that change at most three times per second.

And it's not just about electricity cost and heat stress, it will conflict with everything else that requires the gpu to do stuff, including watching 4k videos on the second monitor, which does have a legitimate case for requiring hardware acceleration since they move a lot of data 60 times per second, and your editor doesn't.

And the limited resource is not the gpu itself but the nearby onboard memory is a scarce resource on its own. I'd be real mad at a software that prevents me to multitask.

On that particular car model you had to interact with the touch display every 15 minutes or else the whole car went into power saving mode and the CAN bus stopped sending messages.

Wait, what? I guess that doesn't disturb ordinary operation, i.e. driving? Very easy of course to imagine a scenario when you drive and don't touch the display for 15 minutes.

That would have made sense if the CAN was for non-driving stuff only (like the entertainment system) but your application seems to indicate that not being true.

How does the car still operate if the CAN bus goes dark?
