>Can't they just hire all of nvidia's developers and pay them 5x as much?

As time goes on I don’t see how you break the CUDA moat even if you had all of nvidia Al’s engineers.

CUDA means you need everyone in AI to target your new (hopefully open) platform and that platform is faster than CUDA is. Given how most frameworks of the last 10 years have been optimized for CUDA you would need to turn around a global sized cruise ship.

If Intel’s GPUs are only 3% faster, will that be enough to rewrite my entire software stack for something not CUDA? If intel opts for a translation layer, could they ever match nvidia’s performance?
That image is so full of wtf

I don't think there is a "bad guy" in the trilogy. But I understand what you mean. The trilogy is not great about building up tensions and such.
"These are the two things you must avoid. Both involve how you talk to recruiters at the start of your job search, way before there’s an offer:
- Revealing information too early in the game
- Negotiating before you’re ready"

Yup. At some point I heard the guidance "don't be the first person to name a number". For my current role, I would have asked for 20-30% less than what the company offered. Say "I'm not sure what typical ranges are in this sector", or "it depends on equity and perks, of course".

Gamers like to ignore inflation and increasing fab costs and pretend cards should cost the same forever with double performance gains every 1.5 years.
> I don't recall which hypervisor I used, but it was super slow.

You didn't. You used an emulator rather than a hypervisor, which is why it was slow.

For most use cases, running x86 Windows applications is much better either under ARM Windows 11 in a VM, or with a Wine-based solution. But if you really need an x86 Windows kernel running, it's going to be slow.
This is not a “hot take”. It’s just *wrong*.
The card prices have gone up pretty significantly and availability has been bad for the last few years, they also have been segmenting their product line in ways where some of the lower tier cards are not very compelling vs previous release cycles. I don't know if that's attributable to them "forgetting about gamers" but it's what people are upset about.
This benefit is basically only to large shareholders who can't sell stock. Which might be insiders like Jensen and... anyone else? Everyone else can just sell, like, 0.0001% of their stock or whatever.
People take honey, but in exchange bees receive a few things

1) Pillbox Housing. Expensive beehive, made from metal and wood, and with only a few narrow entries easy to defend.

2) Comfort. In a quiet sunny place without loud music or sounds. A lid protecting from rain and storms and walls able to stand winds guarantee a dry and warm inner area. A lot of clean wax combs ready to be occupied with minimum effort and a structure to put each comb apart exactly how bees like it.

3) Free medical care. Provided by the species with the most advanced medicine known in the universe.

4) Free emergency help. Including extra food rations in winter and beehive rescue in case of wildfire or flood

5) Bodyguard services. Anti bear stone walls, Anti-wasp electric fences and Bee-eater deterrents if needed. Banners against human trespassers and regulation discouraging thieves.

8) Holidays. Free vehicle transport to visit fields in bloom exactly in the be-est touristic season.

9) Dating services at intercontinental level

10) All you can eat buffet. Gardens designed specifically and seeded with the best international selection of premium nectar.

11) Water sources and ponds to drink

Also, don't forget local building codes. They vary a lot from location to location. You might theoretically be able to spec out a house that complies with most building codes, but it would probably look really funny and be hilariously expensive.

A roof pitched for heavy snow with storm shutters for hurricanes would stand out like a sore thumb in Arizona.
Why else do you think Amazon was selling below the wholesale costs? The local bookstore may be selling below list price. But they aren’t selling below wholesale costs.

Again did you read the link I posted, the publishers explicitly did not want Amazon selling ebooks below list cost.

> The "suggested retail price" was basically that, a "suggested"

Again you didn’t read the article. There are three prices involved

1. The wholesale price - this is the price that the publisher sells the right to Amazon to sell the book. For example $14.00

2. The suggested retail price could very well be $20.00

A “sale” that the bookstore would do would be somewhere between $14.00 and $19.99. They would not sell the book for $9.99 and lose $5.01

> Any other argument can be fun, but is a different argument.

But yet an argument about Apple being accused of “collusion” about books is somehow relevant to a discussion about a “monopoly” on the app store.

But a lawsuit about App Store where Apple was found not to be a monopoly isn’t relevant about selling an app?

While true, I don't think this is even close to a majority of that 50% of users who use dubs. (Though I'm just guessing)

I'd say the more common use case is people in the many countries that are used to dubs, culturally, vs. using subtitles. I've found it to be very much a cultural thing.

Also, kids. Kids movies/shows are probably a not insignificant fraction of Netflix watch time, and below a certain age subtitles are unhelpful to them.
Jensen is one of the largest shareholders. With over 80 million shares that's an over 3 million dollar dividend for him.
What have those vegans done for animals? Just because they can’t stomach eating them doesn’t mean they actually “care” about animals enough to do something productive.

In the US, hunters have long spearheaded conservation efforts. Theodore Roosevelt said, over a hundred years ago:

> “In a civilized and cultivated country, wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.”

He a prolific hunter himself was responsible for significant expanding the national park system and founded the wildlife refuge system.

Why, and what does it mean, for Nvidia to announce fiscal results a year ahead of time.

In the USA, perhaps. Though at the time of preparing the fifth edition of the DSM, there was a discussion about removing the definition of narcissism because its definition covered such a large proportion of the early 21st century US population that it had become meaningless; there is a wide consensus (and, outside the USA, a sort of humour trope) about the average American, and American culture in general, having become demonstrably more narcissistic over time.

Here in the UK, the textbook example of a narcissist in politics was Robin Cook (about whom it was said he could not pass a mirror without checking his appearance). He had a series of affairs and was known to be intensely vain (and self-aware about it), but was not actually a bad human being beyond that weakness.

Trump's narcissism is in a fairly extreme form, but it is by no means what explains his character alone. It is said to be better defined by the coupling of narcissism, sociopathy and sadism (the "dark triad") -- malignant narcissism. There's abundant evidence of the other two; his utter indifference to chants of "Hang Mike Pence" alone should convince anyone. It is the product of the abusive, cruel upbringing he received from his father and his indifferent mother.

FWIW, I think it is also clear that Musk is a malignant narcissist. All the same indicators are there, and the same history with his father. But I hold out a little more hope for him; he is well-documented to be capable of emotional expression about the suffering his father inflicted and you can clearly see him trying to be better, thinking about what he says, reflecting on stuff. He does actually value humanity and you can see him wanting to be a better human. Trump could never do any of that.

A third example: Andrew Tate. Again, he had a psychologically abusive father. He is filled with self-loathing as a result.

And how do those cargo containers get charged? Or how can they be connected together so easily? Or how much cargo space will get taken up them? Nevermind the cost of all of that.

Again, the wind turbines you are suggest are far too big for a ship. It is totally impossible. You are not going to get more than a tiny percentage of power from wind from this. At best, you are just going to have literal sails that take off some of the power demand from the engine. The ship will still have to be powered predominately by chemical fuels.

Look, you're flat out denying the physics of this problem. You cannot solve this problem with science denier. You are doing the same thing that climate change deniers are doing.
Because it completely misses the point that it’s a lot of work that constricts future paths by forming a public contract that offers effectively no benefit to Spotify at all.

Those kids are going to pay for Spotify anyway regardless of if their weird school firewall comes up with a “this site is blocked” message or not. Phones and 5g exist, plus the school gets the ire for blocking it and not Spotify. And no residential ISP is ever going to block Spotify.
So did the Epic judge ignore the ruling of another judge where Apple was accused of behaving monopolistic in regards to the App Store?

What a wonderful read! I have particularly fond associations with Baklava relating to my favorite Greek restaurant, Grecian Gyro. Both of my parents would often take me there if we were in the area.

I particularly liked this bit at the end:
[Regarding the dispute over the origins of Baklava]:

>However, Efkan Güllü, the master baklava baker from Gaziantep, prefers to look at it another way.

>“These are places that have historically been interconnected and have been on the same trade routes,” he says. “But also, more fundamentally, it means that we cook in similar ways.” Their shared histories are reflected in their recipes, with each baker adding new, local flair to an ancient classic, like layers upon layers of sweet pastry.
Thanks. I'm very much interested in the psychology of social structure / workgroups. These are indeed very brittle and it doesn't take much to make a race to the bottom.

I'm always thinking about relay-like and continuous improvement (team processes and mastery, not CI/CD) between team members to promote curiosity, high drive, creativity and friendly competition.
I think both this comment and GP comment are true in their own ways. Nvidia is still pushing the gaming / 3D industry faster than its competitors and I would still recommend an Nvidia card for reliability and performance over others.

BUT that comes at a price - Nvidia consumer chips are also notoriously expensive, but if you want best-of-breed for gaming, it does come at a price.

I am hoping that AMD and Intel will be able to compete with Nvidia someday but I'm not holding my breath.
This has been a problem for thousands of years. Plato's solution is pretty great: those who rule must bind themselves to laws which stand above them, enforced by the collective.

Hannah Arendt (in "What is Authority?") zeroes in on the term "religio" in particular, as the root of "religion" with the literal meaning of "to bind [oneself]". If one is bound to a higher law, secular or theological, as common knowledge, then to act against the law is to subject oneself to punishment.

Unfortunately, as we know all too well in software, this state of having a group bound to a law that transcends them is a precarious state indeed, requiring continuous maintenance or else it's liable to be taken over by those who manipulate the rules to preach without practicing. A failure of the rules leads to the "primal father" situation described by Freud in _Totem and Taboo_, where those who feel dominated band together to kill the person who bound them, and then produce taboos to prevent the situation from occurring again.
How are you dealing with stored procedures?
> From that point of view, I am always surprised to hear people who hate interviewing, are reluctant to interview, etc. Interviewing is the only real way to learn "the market"

Interviewing may be the best way to gather market information, but does that make it surprising that people hate doing it?

There are very few activities I hate more than taking part in a job interview (on either side of the desk). That it's useful and necessary doesn't make it any less unpleasant.
Exactly, the market isn't always rational. There's a lot of work on quantization in neural nets, for example, that can allow them to work sufficiently well on less capable hardware. It could be that some breakthrough there would obviate the need for NVDA hardware (or at least reduce how many are needed).

You're right, but I imagine there is wiggle room - both in scheduling interviews from 5PM to 7-8PM, as well as trading day job business hours needed for interviews for "working late" (really making up the time) for stuff that isn't meetings or synchronous.

If you're hustling toward a $300-600k/yr gig, I think a lot of temporary insanity can be tolerated in furtherance of that goal. Remember also that salary increases compound over your working career.
That’s like saying some people are just fat. Or some people like to kill themselves. Patholizing it with clinical terms doesn’t help or change anything.

The other option is to use CLAs to try to allow only specific re-licensings. The Harmony CA [1] that states:

We agree to license the Contribution only under the terms of the license or licences which We are using on the Submission Date for the Work in which the Contribution is included or the following additional licenses ...

This would let the company re-license to selected other open source licenses for compatibility/strategy, etc, but not allow BSL, etc

One thing I notice is that app developers seem to put more effort into clean usability for their iOS versions over their Android versions, even when they are using multiplatform app development platforms.

Even Google's first party apps seem better, more polished, and more paid attention to on iOS over Android
I think the parent poster meant that the specific modern countries are fairly new, and before they were all part of the same entities. Greece and Turkey were both part of the Byzantine Empire for centuries, and later part of the successor Ottoman Empire - together with Syria - again for centuries. Separate "national" identities for those areas didn't really exist until the XIX century, when Greeks started agitating for independence from Ottoman rule.

Bizarrely, some counties even make sheriff and coroner the same position, and there is at least circumstantial evidence that they tend to abuse that power [1]. I can only imagine the abuses that have been covered up when the judge, sheriff, and coroner have all belonged to the same political machine or socioeconomic clique.

It can be safe to assume the floor is current salary plus whatever it would take for me to leave plus a little bit extra. I wouldn’t offer a floor lower.

So I can see making an offer below or near floor. 20 percent is awfully low, but I would have fun and make a counter. If they don’t move much you then it’s clearly time to move on. Really depends on what else is on the table.

Well I'm not super experienced with GPU development but aren't most people using packages built on top of CUDA like pytroch etc? Would it be impossible to throw tons of resources at those packages so they handle whatever intel comes up with as well as they handle CUDA?

If Intel is 10% slower but 50% cheaper and the open source stack you use has been heavily updated to work well with Intel drivers would that not be an enticing product?

That was my first thought when I read this. My highly cynical take would be endorsing this they could then pivot to being a full on advocate, and then tailor laws to benefit themselves and hurt their rivals. The low cynical take is they realized it is pointless to fight this so embrace it early for the PR.
