I watched the video about the termites... not impressed. Obviously people in the area are using ICFs (which are a little different from prefabricated panels anyway)- and still getting building department approvals... so a call to the local building office to ask would be the smart approach rather than just to assume that it can't be done. Just because one company couldn't do it doesn't mean that no companies can.

Re-reading the paper, I totally missed the hardware that they did this on, which was consumer-level GPUs, so I think you may be right - 3 years is probably a good time frame for seeing this kind of tech in commercial games.

My reasoning for initially saying 10ish years:

GPU architecture release cadence is frequent, but not THAT frequent. NVidia released the Ampere (RTX 30X0) in 2020, 3 years ago. Ada Lovelace (RTX 40X0) was released a year ago, in Oct 2022. It's _possible_ to use 4090s to do medium neural-network things right now, but to be on the leading edge, you need multiple datacenter-level cards, each of which is > $5k. Even though it's possible to do crazy things with the most recent generation of GPUs, there don't yet exist games that really take advantage of it. The closest that I'm aware of is the Cyberpunk-level games that make native use of raytracing capabilities.

I think it'll probably be a year or two before we see games come out that really require the level of 40-series cards ( or 7900-series if you're of the AMD persuasion), which is a lag-time of ~3 years after the cards were released. I think the software development time and market saturation are the driving factors in the gap here.

I was under the mistaken impression that the video output was produced on the datacenter cards. They got reasonable performance on a 30-series NVidia card. In 3 years, it's totally reasonable to expect that AAA game players will have that level of GPU performance in their gaming machines, so yeah, I think you're right.

On the other hand, I believe idle power usage is generally lower on Intel parts than on AMD parts, which is usually something that is less methodically reviewed and generally far more important than this peak power shenanigans.
At least if you buy from a large supplier, it's a known quantity. With something built on-site, there are a lot more variables.
>> in general to have double the amount of bandwidth, you have double the cable laying effort.

Getting double the bandwidth just means laying a slightly thicker cable, and I do mean slightly. Adding a bundle of extra fiber when laying a cable adds maybe a millimeter to the cable width. The cost of the fiber is almost irrelevant to the cost of the other layers and the effort of placing it. Most cables are therefore laid with plenty of extra "dark" fiber for later expansion/redundancy.
I’ve been maintaining Ember apps since 2015 and there’ve been 4 new major versions I’ve worked through, but the project’s deprecation policy and migration tooling have enabled incremental migration over time so there’s never been a need to hard fork / rewrite the app in a way that has occurred with several other (once-)popular web frameworks.
And now from client side rendering (CSR) back to server side rendering (SSR). The thing, that we done 20 years ago, but now only more complicated, with more tools, more setups, etc.

Based on my experience - much more quickly than the "normal" USB-C cables. Those cables are also short and rather thick in most cases (and cost like 50$+).

But that's also because TB has significantly lesser margins for errors than USB 3.1/3.2.
Maybe I'm an outlier. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm getting sick of AI Art.

Unfortunately hackernews has become a bit of a destination for people with far right conspiracy-oriented feelings in the last couple years. They're not the majority, but they're here. It's either a new milieux, or an existing libertarian-capitalist/Ayn-Randy segment whose opinions moved in this direction during COVID.

I'm used to the downvotes on anything like this where this kind of thing comes up. The "mistake" is implying that vaccine-skeptics or far right conspiracy theorists or actual-neo-NAZIS are baddies It always gets downvotes.

It usually rebounds later once more eyes are on the topic, though.
I only have a webcam that's pointed inside a chicken coop, so I roughly agree with you.

Your tone reinforces to me that the term IoT is a poisoned brand, but it doesn't mean that there are no good uses for networked objects. Just networked objects that punish us with a lack of control and user experience.

The main "long covid" symptom I really detest is the loss of smell/taste - after almost 2 years I still cannot smell or taste certain things, the worst being cinnamon in things like cinnamon grahams and cinnamon buns, strangely though I can taste the cinnamon fire jolly ranchers ok.

I sound like I'm jesting, but I love food, and I'm a big fan of scent too - things just don't smell or taste right anymore.

SSRIs can cause neurogenesis, wonder if that's some of the interaction - I thought perhaps the exhaustion could be too much tryptophan turning into serotonin in the brain, which causes fatigue?

Eh I think books are a weird example here because really we should just have libraries (the mechanism here is if there isn't a book you want you have them order it, which is exactly what libraries do, ergo why bookstores).

But I can't really think of anything else that's good for this example. It's not like a huge McDonald's is a good idea. Hardware stores were all independent shops bought up by like Ace and True Value (or closed by Wal-Mart, etc.) so like, nothing really changed (a small hardware store is still a small Ace hardware store). Basically anything else (furniture, carpet) has some floor display models and a catalog you can browse. Which is also what B&N does when they don't have the book you want. Maybe like a Menards or Lowe's? But again they're just like a weird superstore that's part appliance store, part hardware store, part greenhouse and part lumber yard. Feels like we'd actually get broader inventory at individual stores for those things.

For a long time I've felt like software is really just a blue collar job, but instead of turning a wrench it's pushing little plastic buttons.

I like this aspect of it. It feels humble and practical. We're plumbers, but we pipe data not fluid. We don't have any science of data dynamics yet, so it's all word of mouth cargo culting. It's like being a plumber in the bronze age if plumbing was extremely valuable.

As to the ease of "and convince someone to hire you in a strategic business role". Yes, this is a job that people have, however it's extremely competitive and hard to keep.

I believe we are in agreement about everything. I just would not say that undecidability is the reason why we can't solve BB(6), it would be some reason such as you mention (unable to prove 6-state machines halt).

In jest. If I am lacking a source of heat, the reason for my being unable to cook food isn't my lack of Superman heat vision eye laser beams. Similarly, the fact that we can never skip all of math with one finite algorithm isn't the reason why we can't discover BB(6).

In any case, at a Platonic level there is no such algorithm, so us lacking it can't be the reason why we can't solve BB(6). In a way it's even less realistic than Superman heat vision eye laser beams.

Even before these price increases in property there was no money in being a farmer. My grandfather had 100 acres of asparagus (bought when property was cheap in the 60s) and even with migrant labor doing all the real work, him and my grandmother had to have full time jobs. It brought in a profit don't get me wrong, but not enough to make it worthwhile as a full time pursuit. The root problem as I see it is that farming scales very, very well. The bigger you are, the cheaper your inputs become and the better you're able to negotiate sale prices. For example to farm 80/100 acres, my grandfather had to have a big Case tractor just to run the various implements that are necessary. That thing cost 100k+ and would have been just as happy doing the work on a thousand acre farm as a hundred acre farm.

Intel's 10 nm process node was ill-fated, leading to the "14 nm++++" jokes. But at least Intel finally overcame the problems and delivered 10 nm Enhanced SuperFin (now branded Intel 7) in 12th and 13th Gen CPUs with competitive performance. The upcoming mobile-only Meteor Lake uses the new Intel 4 process node, which seems to start having production problems again. But Intel said they're fairly confident that they'll soon announce Arrow Lake CPUs at the end of 2024 using the next Intel 20A process node - in other words, moving across three process nodes in three years. Good luck Intel.
Someone might want to run old Adobe stuff, prior to its exponential bloat and rentification, on an era appropriate OS like Snow Leopard (which is widely thought to be one of the best versions of Mac OS) that’s familiar. It wouldn’t be smart to take such a machine online, but there’s no reason why it couldn’t serve as someone’s comfy offline “zen mode” creative machine.

That said if I were to do this I’d probably build a hackintosh running Snow Leopard or Mavericks or at least procure an old cheesegrater PowerMac/Mac Pro tower for the extra flexibility offered rather than using an old iMac.

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. Lack of serotonin is correlated with depression. Mood and cognition are functions of the brain and the brain can malfunction due to pathogen. Saying this is depression isn't the same as saying it isn't a disease or that it isn't caused by covid-19.

What's puzzling is that everyone know that influenza can have long lasting effect.

Even the 'no mask, no vaccine' crowd agree that Covid is at least an aggressive and more contagious influenza (and some even agree that the first variants were worse)

I largely agree with this, but I would go as far to say that we don't even need to make a commitment to some idea of interiority or internal representation to assert a fundamental distinction here: what is important is that the two interlocutors share something like a common world or context, and endeavor within this space to do things together (such as communicate). There is no "gap" or latency between what-is-said and what-is-meant, there is just everywhere instances of language attempting to point outside itself, when it really can't do that.

And, imo, this very tendency in our use of language is probably what makes us distinctly human.
