How would you know?
Those overwhelmingly cheap Nvidia gaming GPUs got purchased for gaming use - and have usually low tensor compute capabilities and low VRAM ammounts so they're less desirable even for post-training quantization generative large language models.
Yeah but that’s not how the market works. Like how there’s effectively no such thing as a market for small trucks because of legislation effectively banning them even if not de facto.

This is just more middle brow intellectuals thinking they can make everything alright and solve the worlds problems when they’ll end up making things worse. If people can afford large vehicles then let them have large vehicles.

For people like us it means a market for used vehicles already exists and I don’t have to rely on the whims of some bureaucrat to approve my vehicle apportionment, comrade.
Any option of the following:

Truck rentals,
At-home delivery of building materials and hardware,
Actual trucks with drivers licensed for trucking,
Using a car with fold-down back seats
Since (0) is impossible, the answer is the one already proposed.
Why isn't Japan famous for rudeness then? Don't introduce new arguments in your response.
Citroën Ami: French electric car leases for 20€/mo
Cars in the Netherlands are taxed by weight (combined with fuel type). This doesn't prevent people from buying bigger and bigger cars.
Is it _trying_ to simulate a 4k display? Or is it trying to provide something different- a large panorama of 1920x1920 windows?
Absolutely - the future is looking really promising if we keep up the innovation.
Intentionally putting others in danger is immoral to many. But morality is subjective. Putting the whole community at net negative risk so you can squeak out personal advantage is perfectly acceptable behavior to some.
ROTFLMAO!
Yep, and some people actually need a truck bed or towing capacity, but most don't.
Talk to car salespeople. Large american vehicles have nothing to do with law and everything to do with the american consumer preferring larger vehicles. You can see it in this very thread, they want to "feel" safer.
Moved to the UK from the US in 2017. Visited my hometown with my new family in 2022 for the first time due to the pandemic. I was blown away at how massive the trucks had become in that span for no useful reason. Europe is on the other end of the spectrum, granted, but it didn't even seem out of the ordinary to see F150s that are essentially F350s from a few model-years back with a single occupant wrapped around the double drive-through lanes of the local Chick-Fil-A and backing up traffic all the way into the main thoroughfare. It's so obvious how ruinous this is for even the basic civil engineering.
Agree with this. Coming from native Android there's a lot I miss, but being able to compile to Android, iOS, Desktop, Web & mWeb saves us an insane amount of time.

Thankfully we have the budget to work with expert maintainers and sponsor external libraries which allows us to reduce some of the pain.
I see huge size as a red herring. All of his problems have existed for 100 years, and will continue to exist for 100 more.

Problem 1: endangers others on the street

Problem 2: worsens climate change

Problem 3: shreds tires

Problem 4: destroys roadways

Problem 5: makes cars expensive
Anecdotally I think it's much more common for people in the US to do some work on their house by themselves than in the EU.
They're all sold in Europe, where they're legally cars, meet car safety standards and fuel consumption is usually only slightly worse, about the amount you'd expect from raising a hatchback body 1-2 inches.

The layout also has obvious advantages for EVs, although Tesla does manage a sedan form factor. They are meaningfully different from "Jesus Christ I may have just killed a child whilst parking, because I am driving something doing a decent impersonation of the industrial equipment normally associated with an open-cast quarry".
If we lose the war on general-purpose computing, authoritarianism and corporatism are likely to rule the world.

Winning that war is prerequisite to everything else.

If you're worried about climate change, remember that authoritarian regimes don't care about climate change.

If you're worried about injustices, remember that authoritarian regimes don't care about them and actually manufacture them.

If you're worried about any particular political thing, remember that authoritarian regimes don't even let you speak your dissent.

If you're worried about economics and making a living, remember that authoritarian regimes don't care if you have enough food.

Authoritarian regimes only care about themselves and their power. They'll make sure they're insulated from climate change. They'll make sure the law doesn't apply to them. They'll make sure they have megaphones for their propaganda. They'll make sure they always have food and shelter.

So what can you do?

Write Free Software. Get people to use Firefox and Ladybird (once it's ready). Refuse to work for companies that are locking down computers. Shift the culture until it is shameful to even do so. Reject remote attestation. Accept inconvenience in the software you use. Preach to everyday people about using Free Software. Teach them about privacy and control issues. Help them install Linux on their laptops. Root their phones for them. Be their tech support when things go wrong.

Most of all, learn UX and make your Free Software more usable and convenient than the freedom-snuffing software. Until Free Software is more convenient, there is very little way we can win this war.

This is something Free Software enthusiasts are really blind about: we can't just make software how nerds want it; we need to make software that will be useful and convenient for everyday people.
Additionally interesting is that in France, these cars may be legally driven by people without a license and as young as 14 years old.
At $0.12/kWh 1W 24/7/365 costs $1/year. Assuming you don't use sleep mode and/or wake on LAN dropping down from 50W to 10W will save $40/year.

On the environmental virtue side electronics have embodied energy usage that can surpass the lifetime electrical consumption especially if the devices are not always on.
I suppose this article is lampooning you, then: https://www.theonion.com/conscientious-suv-shopper-just-want...

It's The Onion, so you don't need to read the article to get the point. Its title is "Conscientious SUV Shopper Just Wants Something That Will Kill Family In Other Car In Case Of Accident."
I felt it was because just as soon as I realized she was talking about a rub and tug where she gives handjobs instead of massages, she then mentions a mutual shower that I have no idea what she’s talking about. Are they both naked in the shower and nothing happens? Are these massage parlors in Finch Alley awesome? Does all of Canada specify “parlor” to mean $80 late night showers with prostitutes as distinctive from spas where people might have a license?

This always happens to me when I read editorials from Commonwealth countries, the euphemisms are so deep and ingrained that I have no idea what they’re talking about.

I could empathize better with more context.

“I rubbed massage oil on a man’s chest at 1am and I was tired” that’s an entirely different article
Which laws? I've never lived in the US
Why do you think (0) is impossible? Do laws not exist where you are? Are you not able to change them?
It sounds like there's a sweet spot here. If you are not ACKing Produce requests for 100ms then there's a huge amount latency. If the user want's to reduce that latency from 100ms to say 1ms then their S3 GET requests cost just went up by 100x.
What means of disease prevention require not protecting your own family?
I think aerodynamics and the social importance of stature are bigger problems. When I was younger, as a reasonably tall person, often there was still good leg and headroom as a driver in boxy (or at least, less streamlined) compact or even subcompact cars. Now its rare in anything not an SUV (and even compact SUVs often aren’t great.)
> On a related note, why do car manufacturers make you come to a complete stop on the freeway so the person in the passenger seat can type an address into the navigation system?

I have to wonder whether adding friction to the UX in the name of safety can have the complete opposite effect. Sure, drivers might do something dumb like trying to pair a Bluetooth device while they're driving, but if the car makes this impossible, isn't it increasing the amount of time the driver is distracted?
Near-zero chance of SUVs in my city being used for towing or on unimproved roads. We must live different places. Like the difference between a Hummer in NYC on the one hand, and in War Zone XYZ. Different contexts.
Tree structures are terrible design, yes. They shouldn't teach trees in computer science. Everything should be flat. Just like the Earth.

I love watching Linux stay stuck on design choices from 1970 because to change the interface now would cause the operating system to implode and the resulting riot would exceed even the asspain over systemd
Not sure where your number is coming from. A quick search[0] led me to 181 pedestrian and 40 cyclist child fatalities in 2019.

Its author did recently, but it might be hard to reach him.
Isn't mpg also a factor in terms of emissions? A lot of these tanks are gonna be more thirsty. SUVs also account for much of the increase in co2 emissions although when I read that stat it didn't breakdown where in the world those SUVs are being bought (I imagine some are being bought in developing economies that are adopting an American model).
How accurate is your confidence?
Actually the safest cars are full size saloons. Trucks and SUVs rollover in accidents so your head changes from going straight ahead at 60mph to tumbling at 60mph breaking your neck.
You're lack of understanding obvious sarcasm is a personal problem on your part, not mine.
Being able to shape applications to the size I would like for them to be without needing to buy yet another peripheral is greatness, though. If I want a really long code window, I can do that. If I want a really long terminal nearby because I'm grepping a huge codebase, I can do that. If I want to work on a large visual diagram while viewing the code and the terminal, I can view the entire thing and I don't have to worry about switching windows.
Until this happens and until you can verify that you’re not indexing every conversation to the open web, this is enough for me to full-stop using your service. I was under no impression whatsoever that the threads were made public.
Which non-dumpster news outlets are there? Just about every big name can be counted on to spin in favor of their owners' political aims. Fox News and friends are obvious propaganda. I've not been impressed with CBS, NBC, CNN, WaPo, The New Yorker, all sorts of outlets that I cannot rely on for truthful and relevant news.

I have taken to using a website I found that combines and aggregates all the mainstream news sites, so I can see from an aerial view what -- if any -- message they're trying to sell that day. And it's weird how close in lockstep these media outlets talk about things.

I see a lot of criticism on the Internet amount to "If they only used the good stuff..." So, where is it?
Maybe they should pay more but not because they cause more road wear. They don't.
I have knit a number of scarves. They're kinda cool because I knit partial rows from each side. While they are rectangular in that the number of stitches across each row is constant, the tensions in the scarf make them wavy.

I made doohickeys to add homekit controlled dimming and convenient physical switching to my bedside reading lamps.

I am in the middle of making a farmhouse table out of walnut. It is very precise work that I am not used to.

1. What are the alternatives? Spend five days traveling by rail?

2. It's probably still safer, per mile traveled, than my driving commute, and I don't give climbing into a car a second thought.
What is mind blowing to me is how little weight impacts the fuel efficiency in my situation. I get ~58 MPG on my 385lb bike and ~55-60 MPG in my 3,500lb Prius prime. Obviously the regen helps, but still it is crazy how efficient the Prius is.

Linux, (not big and professional like gnu), is not going to win but could find a niche somewhere. Hm, ok.
How to Approach a New Codebase
What plugins or other setup is needed to get Llama 2 integrated with your IDE?
I'm gonna be that guy who will probably show up sooner or later anyway, but... I can't imagine performance can compete with other languages? What were your findings or experience with that?

Still, I'm a huge fan of TypeScript and will give it a try anyway :)
I suppose it is. But, to me, that's actually kind of the point. I think a meta lesson of infinite set theory is that logic can lead to strange places. So a practitioner should think of logic as a way to get from point A to point B in conceptual space and not so much as a way of exploring what conclusions are reachable from point A. Actually maybe it's fine to do the latter, but just take what you discover with a grain of salt.
Your points are valid, but we also have to factor in the amount of electricity consumed by gen X chip vs gen X+1 chip to perform certain amount of computing during their lifetime.
Working on my own RV-8. There are dozens of us!

Also, support the EAA! They're basically the EFF/FSF of aviation, AOPA/NBAA/ALPA etc are all shitty industry groups that want to make aviation as inaccessible to the ordinary person as possible.

Kafka is less message queue (rabbitmq, sqs) and more ordered stream/write ahead log (ala kinesis)

> The first is that because of the nature of message queues, they're either empty or full.

... Wat?

> that is it's a true "fire and forget" kind of request and direct response time is not a concern, then what does the queue gain you over simply posting it to a database table?

Performance is why. The fire and forget aspect is like udp in the sense that you don't need to ensure ordering of messages (packets) or hard persistence to the database. Also, dead letter queues exist for a reason.

Message queues are super useful. The highest performance systems I've seen use the message queue + pool of workers paradigm, as it allows you to better smooth your load (unlike immediate republishing like in sns, which requires hardware available to accept) with minimal guarantees (unlike a write ahead log such as kinesis). The buffer is also great because it allows you a bit more time to scale up both your message queue fleet and worker fleet when you get a load spike.
On a statistical macro sense, yes you have.
Seems simple to me - the software should just decline to match if there isn't enough data.
But what if the bus is even more dangerous? :-)
We currently attribute commits back to every single dev involved in a PR (including reviewers) as co-authors. We also actively work with our customers to allow devs to mention their contributions in their CV publicly. And you can always reach out to them directly if they have an open position (especially mentioning your experience working with them through GitStart)

What would be an ideal way to attribute the hard work back to the devs in our case?
Musk did call the match
View the brain as a n-dimensional hyperspace receiving constant stochastic sequential input voltages from n-number of sensors.

Given that, lets consider your visual system, comprised of:

An analog collimator (lens) sending focused analog signals (light)...

...to light sensitive transducers (photoreceptors) ...

...Using the Visual phototransduction cascade [1] to turn light into voltage.

That signal is then transmitted through the optic nerve, pre-processed for reaction and early processing, and then hits the visual cortex where it flops around and other sensory systems combine their voltages trying to make meaning of things in increasingly abstract ways.

That is basically the same process used for all other senses as well, but just using different sensor methodologies

However the actual data uses the same medium of chemical-voltage transport throughout the PNS and CNS.

So using this construct, you need a hardware system that can remap pathways between sensors without rigid architecture and via processes that are emergent based on environmental changes.

I propose then that a liquid electro-chemical substrate that is materially additive (accretes more permanent power flows) depending on how much power (P = Volts * Amps) is flowing between nodes. That substrate then fills a cube covered in anodes and cathodes that represent individual sensor inputs/outputs.

It's basically recreating a human nervous system with a gel like substrate as the "brain" that can "rewire" itself infinitely as sensors are changed or otherwise.

I have a drawing of this but haven't uploaded it anywhere. If you're interested I'll scan it in

A factory here, a few decades ago spend 150 k to select a color scheme for maximum productivity. No one believed in it but one investor insisted because he used the service before and the consultant had a lot of numbers to show.

50 cm above the floor the wall had 6 washed out grayish colored bars 20-25 cm width with green and orange slightly brighter. I didn't notice a productivity gain but it did allow excellent peripheral vision.
Thanks for elaborating - that sounds really cool.
I have a big car, i have kids and its great for trips. I also pull a camper on occasion so its useful. I think for those purposes it works great. Once my kids are out of the house, i will easily down size and even possibly sell the camper.
I developed a very non-trivial ASP.NET Core application mixing F# and C#. I learned you have to take the best parts of both languages to get maximum benefits. Specifically you're going to want a project graph that looks like this:

1. Your top-level project should be a csproj where all your "web" stuff is. Controller routes, DTOs, startup code, etc... This project is responsible for converting data into nice objects that are passed to the F# code.

2. A mid-tier project written in F#, an fsproj. This is where you can be nice, pure, functional, live out your best life pretending C# doesn't exist. However you will eventually run into issues interfacing with external libraries, EF Core, lack of standard library support for whatever you're doing. That's ok! The final layer will solve it.

3. A foundational project written in C#. This project's job is to hide the ugly and make your F# project into the functional programming nirvana you know it can be. Wrap those dependencies into pure functions, write your entity framework junk, use all the latest C# language and runtime features and expose them to your F# project.

So something like:

C# -> F# -> C#

Ultimately, I decided that C# really is good enough and I didn't see enough benefits to continue using F#.
All your examples are mid sized cars smaller than Crown Vic / Mercury Grand Marquis. I own 2009 Grand Marquis and I don't want anything smaller and less reliable which means I want to have a V8, body on frame and normal transmission (not a CVT). So nowadays my only options are large SUVs
The point is that there are shelter beds available: many are empty. The fact that if every single homeless person decided to take a bed there wouldn't be enough is irrelevant, because they don't want to. If N is the number of beds needed to house absolutely every homeless person, going from N-1 to N wouldn't result in a single additional homeless person in a bed, because right now there are empty beds available that aren't being taken. There are reasons a homeless person might not want to take a bed right now, some of them even sympathetic reasons (safety being foremost), but getting up to N beds would do nothing to make them want to take one of those beds. And as soon as we did get to N beds, homelessness advocates would immediately start stipulating additional demands before anything could be done: it can't be just a bed, it needs a storage unit; it needs to allow pets; it can't be just a bed but be an entirely separate unit having a locking door for safety; etc. The "we must get to N beds before we do anything!" is a talking point that distracts from the core issue.

For the record, I'd be against enforcing the laws if it were the case that every homeless shelter was at full capacity.

Bears repeating! When node was originally released years ago, I decided to force myself into public speaking because I knew it was a weakness of mine. I also wanted to learn node, so I signed up for a code camp talk on "real-time" websites with node and websockets. Previously I had "learned" languages like Pascal, C++, C#, Python, etc. But I'd never had to learn those languages to a point where I could explain them in simple terms. The fact that I was going to be presenting on the topic took me to depths of node that I hadn't had to explore with other languages. There's a big difference between being able to leverage a closure effectively and being able to communicate what a closure is and how and when it's useful and when to avoid it. I've been a fan of public speaking and mentoring (and node) ever since.
You don't look at all of a 3840x2160 screen, with a need for pixel-precision all over it.

Doing a test right now, I'm focusing on the 13-inch computer screen where I'm typing this and holding up a large container of cashews directly to the right of the display. It's literally less than 30 degrees to the right of my focus, and the word "cashews" is in half-inch-high letters, and I can't remotely read the word without moving my eyes over to it.
Just a simple thing compared to the epic works of art and engineering seen elsewhere in this thread, but it pleases me and that is enough.

Don't even have a name for it, but I trapped a bunch of small bearing balls between a couple sheets of acrylic, so they are free to move but only in 2 dimensions.

It is so relaxing to handle, it's a hefty thing with around 4500 2mm balls in it. I like holding it on my lap and swishing around until I manage to form them into a single lattice. As the thousands of little balls roll, they make a sound that is the mix of raining, a stream, or a million Lego pieces being dug through.

There is a video of it here: https://twitter.com/kroltan/status/1385386058913832963

While building it with my dad, we weren't sure how to fix the acrylic plates together, so we used some double-sided tape. My dad raised the board before his eyes, but a terrifying crack was heard, and the smile that was on his face turned into a frown at the exact same rate the level of the balls dropped from the frame.

We spent the next 2 hours sweeping his workshop to retrieve all the balls, and then fixed it with double sided tape, glue, and an outer "framing" of a fabric tape which is really good under tension.
If you read my comment again, I specifically singles out the EU energy proces because I knew North America has much cheaper electricity which is why I specified if you have cheap energy then it probably won't matter for you.

And Europeans are definitely feeling the CoL increase.
Do you own your home and if so, how much land do you own?

If Europe is so great, why do you suppose Americans are not emigrating there en masse?
