Honestly I'd watch for Intel. No chance their GPUs are as good within a couple years, but they could easily be 80% as good for half the price or less. Intel is willing to lose money for a while on this to grow their gpu reputation. If theyre is able to create that product and reliably stock it nvdia will have to cut their prices.

Nvidia effectively has no competition right now due to AMDs software issues. It's hard to see how that can continue with how big their cap is. Someone will be able to create a competitive product.
GNOME supports my trackpad better than Windows and, dare I say it, macOS does. As in, it literally supports trackpad gestures and inputs that Apple doesn't, and it's actually really smooth and responsive.

You can right-click-drag, and you can middle click. macOS doesn't support either one of these, and Windows only supports assigning a bottom-right quadrant of the trackpad to right-clicking.
There are adapters that can be bought and used today.

> These days a lot of companies seem to be we have layoffs because everyone else is doing it and shareholders want short term gain.

This is why we need to pay CEOs so much: it's important to have a top-talent to ape the decisions that "everyone else" is making.
> Google can sell VMs with the tensor chips attached, like GPUs.

They have already been doing this for quite a while now and even when offered free via TRC barely anyone uses TPUs. There is nothing to suggest that Google as an organization is shifting focus to be the HPC cloud provider for the world.

As it stands TPU cloud access really seems ancillary to their own internal needs.

> If Apple/MSFT/AWS/Goog/Meta start serious building their own chips, NVidia could be left out of the top end.

That's a big "if", especially within two years, given that this chip design/manufacturing isn't really a core business interest for any of those companies (other than Google which has massive internal need and potentially Apple who have never indicated interest in being a cloud provider).

They certainly could compete with Nvidia for the top-end, but it would be really hard and how much would the vertical integration actually benefit their bottom line? A 2048 GPU SuperPOD is what, like 30M?

There's also the risk that the not-always-friendly DoJ gets anti-trusty if a cloud provider has a massive advantage and is locking the HW in their walled garden.

I am rather belligerently anti-ad, but when I sit quietly to contemplate alternatives I must admit that in certain limited contexts, I found advertising incredibly useful in the [relatively] distant past: I would pick up the computer paper specifically for the ads, as they provided the cost lists for items sold by the various vendors on College St (Toronto), and without them such information was essentially unattainable. There were also occasions when Google's original search-relevant text ads were exceptionally welcome.

Given that there has been a context previously where it was welcome, there may well be contemporaneous contexts where ads could exist in harmony with independently motivated user objectives. Basically all of what I see today, though, ain't it.

I'm not sure AMD will catch up to Nvidia. Obviously there are a lot of traders betting on that right now, given that AMD has started to rally in response to Nvidia. However after all this time NV still commands like 80% share of the gaming GPU market despite AMD often (not always) releasing competitive cards. Gaming GPUs are already a commodity - why hasn't AMD caught up there?

I mean, maybe it's not a fair comparison but I don't see why the datacenter/GPGPU market won't end up the same way. Nvidia is notorious for trying to lock in users with proprietary tech too, though people don't seem to mind.

I like the implication that there was a goof on someone’s part.

I get a lot of “yeah but what if they do something like search for things that don’t exist” (or similar situations) and some weird ideas follow about how they user gets confused and the software is supposed to solve all “user behaves illogically” problems and we get some really strange solutions that makes the software even more unpredictable.

Like no man, search for nothing is “yo you goofed and searched for nothing”.

Me and my friend both installed arch at the same time and both tried to use gnome + wayland.

Both of us experienced issues with games being inconsistent in frame times, black rectangles over electron apps like spotify/discord, for him his multi monitor setup was somehow broken on wayland but fine with X.

Chromium apps in general appear to have varying levels of issues, some applications don't support wayland at all, most can run with the xwayland which IMO mostly defeats the purpose especially when it's still not seamless.

We've both switched to X and no longer have any of the above issues. That's not to say the desktop experience on X is seamless of course, but the above issues were all solved.

I'm really under the impression that people who use wayland either don't use a wide range of applications (which is perfectly fine!) and/or are used to putting up with "typical linux issues" and accept the quirks.

I remember when wayland came out and was supposed to solved the "fragmented/bloated mess of xorg" but it literally just appears to have been a half-baked solution for ~15 years.

IMO the issue with the "linux desktop" has always been consistency. You don't have to worry about adding launch arguments, compositor support, graphics drivers, AMD/Nvidia, wine, broken audio/networking when you do an update, etc. MacOS/Windows "just work" - at least with far more consistency.

I own a Model 3, and one thing I didn't fully appreciate until a recent 2000+ mile roadtrip is how good the Tesla Super Charger network is. Even in remote parts of Nevada we were always within range of a Super Charger. Using the onboard nav system made that even better, since it's aware of how busy a station is, or if the station is even functional, and would route accordingly.

I don't know much about other charging networks, but I've used non-Tesla chargers a handful of times over the past two years, and every time, it was a poor experience. They've been slow, some have stopped working a few minutes into a charge, or don't work at all. In two separate cases the chargers I drove to didn't actually exist, despite being directed to them by those networks' apps. In one case, they weren't built yet, and in another, the chargers weren't even properly mounted to the ground and getting blown around by the wind and leaning over as far as the underground cables would allow.

Prior to my roadtrip the charging network wouldn't have been much of a selling point for me since I usually charge at home. But after? I think it's far more important than I realized.
Probably true but as an aging and burned out dev I really hoped that there would be some ready and baked solutions by mid-2023, you know.

It's actually quite the glaring hole in dev tooling. Everyone formulating their own cloud or GIT synced adhoc scripts is a huge waste of energy IMO!

Guess I'll have to start allocating time and check out Ansible, Chef and Puppet (I heard they can do OS- and distro-agnostic package management which sounds promising). Or, since I have no plans to use Windows for anything except gaming ever again and will stick to Macs and Linux machines, then I'll just carefully compose a few bash/zsh scripts with some package manager shims and command/arguments translation and nail that and use it to my grave.

Still, I really expected dev tooling to be better. It's weird how each one of us has to invent their own package syncing manager.

The only tool I was able to find is https://github.com/tversteeg/emplace -- but I am still fighting with it and I can't even make it use config file on a custom location, and it does seem semi-defunct. Will research it a bit, still have hope it'll work but likely not. Oh well.
I've done the same, in a way that I think is slightly better. Not yet opensource (too tied into my current project to refactor into an isolated package/module), but I hope to do so soon.
Personally I have no interest in tying my name to a review. In fact I've still not reviewed a few places from my past because I don't fancy getting a call/email from that employer yelling at me for telling the truth. I've mostly worked at smaller companies so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together and I'd have to lie about my position/salary to keep it from being immediately recognizable, probably even need to write "creatively" to avoid them telling it was me.

Even if I hated working somewhere I'd never publicly blast them under my real name. Near zero upside and unlimited downside. At best I prevent others from going through what I did (IF they check reviews, IF they believe me, etc), at worst someone knows someone who knows someone who torpedos my career/prospects at another company. It doesn't matter if that retaliation is illegal, I'd never know or be able to prove it. Lastly, I have to put food on the table, if my current job goes under or opportunities dry up I'd go back to company that I disliked to make ends meet. Why would I burn that bridge?

People rarely leave companies because they are happy where they are so I have trouble seeing anyone wanting to sign their real name to a review about a company they left. Like I said, near zero upside and unlimited downsides.
> anything Nvidia has in those brackets

This being the operative part of the statement. If we're talking top-end GPUs it's not even close.

> Intel is willing to hammer Nvidia on price

They also have no choice, Intel's spend on Arc has been tremendous (which is what I mean by catastrophe, everything I've read suggests this will be a huge loss for Intel). I doubt they have much taste for another loss-leader in datacenter-level GPUs right now, if they even have the manufacturing capacity.
Back when there was a critical Azure bug that enabled an Azure user to gain access to top-level keys (i.e. the keys to the entire kingdom), a Google engineer commented on an HN thread that Google specifically didn't consider container boundaries secure, so everything is always tied to a VM specific to a customer. The issue with Azure is that a container escape allowed a user to take over the entire Azure subsystem.
Out of curiosity, which model do you have? I have a current generation HP M454 Color LaserJet, and there's an option in the menu ("Cartridge Policy") to allow use of third-party toner cartridges.

According to the manual, it defaults to allowing third-party cartridges - you have to go out of your way to turn the authenticity check on.

The connection is probably that ApoE4 carriers clear out amyloid beta deposits less efficiently than ApoE3/2 carriers (see e.g. [1] among many other sources), whereas microbial infection can induce amyloid deposits to form in the first place (see e.g. [2]), although it's not the only mechanism which can induce such deposits.

Yeah I get it. This is one of those things that's really hard to convincingly describe online because each individual thing is explainable eg I will write a[i] every time and my format-on-save will change it to List.get(a, i) every newline or whatever.

But you were there and I wasn't and if the overall situation seemed suspicious to you that's evidence at least as strong as any specific thing. Intuition can certainly pick up on weird behavior even if it's hard to explain how after the fact.

I think that most wanting to use Deno are wanting to write an application in a more Deno friendly way. Linting, formating, and typescript in the box. But pragmatically also needing or desiring to be able to utilize existing NPM modules. Those NPM modules more often than not needing node compatibility.

It doesn't mean the application at its core will be more node based so much as wanting to be able to use a given NPM module.
Thanks, I'll check out the specifics.
Yeah this was terrible.

I would be tempted to do the same, and not say anything about it. It would be interesting and informative to see how the cheaters responded.

It is not something one could do every time, however, as it will become known that the actual questions (though with incorrect answers) could be found on the web.

Yes, the base Model 3 was switched to an LFP pack a while back. It is now ~60kwh LFP, and also quite a bit slower than it was before.

This new base Model 3 dropped the "SR+" designation at the same time.

> The nonce protocol is indeed rather dumb, but that's not a bad thing, sometimes things need to be specified to be as dumb as they can be.

No, things should get as simple as they can be, the nonce mechanism isn't simple it's dumb: instead of just requiring uniqueness of the nonce, to make sure that there's no duplicate transaction, it attempts to be smart in order to “optimize” the nonce verification cost, and to do so it ads the monotonic increase requirement, and this additional* requirement is bad, because if you try to submit multiple transactions concurrently with the same wallet then you're are almost always going to face issues, with transactions being cancelled because they don't have a valid nonce (it was valid when you submitted it, but now it's not and your transaction is cancelled, sorry not sorry).

It's good to reduce the cache hot best case time of course but isnt the more fundamental sin of RC in the extra read/write memory traffic, cache footprint and cross core cache line ping pong when incrementing object refcount fields.

Yeah, it entirely depends on the timeline of the poisoning.

If the bad results were uploaded just prior to the exam, and the results were cloned, people likely cheated. I think this trap is fine. Hopefully he had his bad results pulled afterwards too, so the site only contained flawed data during the exam period.

If the bad results were uploaded several days prior to the exam we run the risk of people studied, and couldn't fathom why their answers didn't match the "official results", but learned the wrong result was the correct answer. It may have stuck in their heads simply because it was an unexpected answer. Perhaps these people didn't even go back to the site during the exam at all, but the weird results from the studying phase were what they could recall.

In this second case, the trap isn't good at all. It may have caused people to recall the incorrect answers learned from study, not from cheating during the exam. This is a horrible thing to do to your students. It may have caused some people to doubt themselves during study, and pushed them to cheat during the exam because they clearly didn't understand something. This is unfortunate. Prof and student share some blame here. How to classify this case is difficult. Without the poisoned study material, these students may have actually known the material, felt confident, and aced the exam. We'll never know.

> How can a smart, presumably educated person not know that rent counts as economic activity?

Of course it's "economic activity". But if I sublet to someone that sublets to someone that sublets to someone that lives in an apartment, that's a 4x increase in money flow but there's no production of goods or services at all.

It makes sense to have the cost of building and maintaining homes represented somewhere, but rent is a poor proxy for that.

Cognitive Load Theory – The Definitive Guide
I think you misunderstood my point. My thesis was that these two eras were different in scope (my first sentence). I was pointing out how the .com booms impact was so much larger than the current AI boom, in terms of financial impact. I wasn't trying to say the .com boom was smaller or more well-reasoned. In fact quite the opposite. I don't think we've seen comparable spikes to the .com boom yet, and you seem to agree.
I can never go back to X11 and I think the greatest condemnation of it is that we're still talking about screen tearing in 2023.

Screen tearing is something that simply shouldn't exist by default. A person should be able to count on its absence, like a person should be able to count on a basic USB keyboard working without any headaches.

Now I'll brace myself for the "I've never noticed screen tearing" from people whose brains run on a different refresh rate than mine does.

Honestly, it confuses me. I’m sure PaLM2 does well on certain metrics but the experience of actually using it can be bafflingly bad. (My favorite was someone asking for a table comparing agricultural businesses and being given instructions on how to build a physical table.)

I don’t know if this was an oversight or them just throwing up their hands knowing they needed to release something. Rumors I’ve seen claim that Gemini will be far more powerful, so I guess they’re just biding their time.

Idly, I do sometimes think back to Blake Lemoine. Is this seriously what he thought was a conscious AGI? Or have they heavily gimped it in the process of aligning it?

Meet shares my screen just fine. Zoom claims that it should, but it refuses to recognize my setup as "supported", probably because I'm using sway and not gnome.

I got it working for awhile, but after an update it stopped. We mostly switched to meet, and I stopped caring. If I need to share my desktop in zoom, I just drop from the meeting and rejoin from chrome instead of the app.
Yes, I remember the wording being overly vague. But at the time Tesla was pushing it, they were pretty desperate for $$. I bet if someone had really helped build the supercharger network, they'd have been amenable to changes.

Looking at the way things played out, its obvious that they wouldn't faced competitive pressure due to this.

For the same reasons, the existing industry didn't bother. It was a long time before Ford took EVs seriously.
