Nvidia got out in front with CUDA. They got a huge first-mover and vendor lock-in advantage with that one. AMD dropped the ball and is playing catch-up.
Saying they've "never been able to" is a kind of weird perspective. They're really only just starting on their dedicated GPUs. The Alchemist architecture is their very first attempt, and they've been putting a lot of effort into repairing and refining the drivers. The hardware is actually pretty decent when it's firing on all cylinders.

But Nvidia and AMD have a huge time advantage on Intel. It's going to be a few generations and billions of dollars before Intel can catch up, assuming they keep with it.

Intel has been in the integrated GPU market for awhile but with little pressure to innovate and very different design goals.

Is Charles Dickens worth it? It's a matter of time, taste and purpose (in reading).

I've enjoyed dipping in. Sometimes found it directly useful to work. But the best of his works I read (in full) was the MMIX book that is a literate program of the interpreter. Second to that was the typography book, a total fascinating delight.

In reality there's probably almost no one who reads any volume of TAOCP in full.

The only way to answer your question is probably to start reading and see if you enjoy it. But expect it take some effort.

>The only real issue is one of 3rd party consent. I don't see why a grown adult (26 years old) without advanced directives requires parental consent, but that is what the law seems to say here. I don't think anyone would say the hospital didn't screw that up. Even if the father violently threatened the staff and required police involvement, getting his consent appears to have been required. Even if dozens of innocent people waiting with little hope on donor wait lists would die because of the father's inability to cope with his guilt and grief.

>But the hospital did nothing at all wrong by the patient. She was brain dead and kept alive through artificial means, and she was never going to recover.

Agreed, the patient had no agency, and all the wrong was done to the parents. Also, I'd just like to recommend that, instead, of updating donor status, you visit end-of-life documents like wills, which are what would have bearing on life support decisions, and more importantly discuss the questions with your relevant family members (those who would make the decision for you, as well as those for whom you would decide).

Everyone appears to be blindly accepting the father's word, even though he appears to have substance abuse issues and stands to become a millionaire based on the outcome of this case.

At some point you have to conside the role of the author of this piece. It appears in this case they'd already decided to write about this case, could not get statements from the mother or doctors/hospital involved, and decided to largely base it on the word of the father, his trial lawyers ("Thornton Davidson, Mike’s lawyer, is surprisingly accessible thanks to a puckish, wry wit") and biased sources like the Catholic Medical Association. The filler about Jahi McMath is awful, and largely avoids the complex family dynamics and the eventual multiorgan failure that led to her own family pulling the plug on her several years later.

The father is grieving her suicide and unable to process it because of people willing to use his cause to advance their political or monetary interests. It is a tragic story, but not for the reasons the article puts forth.

You are missing the fact that these numbers represent an average density. There are denser parts of LA than SF certainly. Koreatown would like a word. Adjacent areas aren’t much less dense either.
It is very unfortunate for people like you understood that crypto was a scam and then assumed that the next thing that all the same people pivoted to was also a scam.
I get so tired of hearing about tech stacks. Tech stack discussions are 90% developers spinning their wheels and 10% money. Its really closer to 80/20, but most developers cannot get out of their own heads enough to reach a 20% discussion about money and business expenses.
You can, now, but it's still not up to the level of polish that we had in x11, and nearly all of these are janky workarounds to a self inflicted problem
No, it worked until they stopped. That's not the same thing until 'working until it doesn't' - one is endogenous, one is exogenous.

They literally do not.

> A private builder wouldn't find itself in a similar situation.

That's literally how it works right now in America, and Canada and the UK. The government constrains development in major metros to appease landowners. 83% of the Bay Area is zoned single-family, a zoning scheme developed with the explicit intent of keeping housing unaffordable for people of color in Berkeley in 1916 and copied throughout the US. That's exactly the situation private builders find themselves in. [1]

It's been a few decades since I read the book, but note it was published just after NT was released, when everyone knew that it had been called OS/2-NT for a while. So probably no wool pulling going on there. Note also that this was a naming move. NT was never based on OS/2. otoh in my experience (I've worked for two companies that had books written about them), book authors tend to a) focus on drama and b) get their information from a small number of senior participants.

The book doesn't shy away from describing the collaboration between Microsoft and IBM. Also, the book depicts Microsoft knowingly screwing over IBM in their collaboration.

So Gates sided with Maritz. NT would assume the Windows “personality,” by assuming those of its attributes that were visible to the customer. NT also would be redesigned to run applications written specifically for Windows. But Gates added a wrinkle to his position. Given the depth of IBM’s attachment to OS/2, Gates reasoned, abandoning the program altogether would only trigger a nasty split with IBM. Why not maintain a pretense of cooperation by convincing IBM of the merits of an operating system that hosted both Windows and OS/2? NT could be designed to do this, Gates reasoned.

If IBM accepted this, Microsoft could continue to describe Cutler’s program as “NT OS/2.” Even though it contradicted his rhetoric about the need for a single software standard, Gates was prepared to tell IBM: “There’s no reason to think two [program personalities] can’t be of equal importance” to customers.

This was a bold stroke. By denying reality, Gates’s tactic would freeze IBM long enough for Microsoft to install Windows as the standard for computing. Gates would peddle this apparent compromise to IBM and rival software makers, while Maritz and Cutler’s team pursued the real objective internally.

...

Cutler asked about Ballmer’s promise that NT would still sport an OS/2 personality. Not to worry, Ballmer assured him, someone else could take care of that. Indeed, OS/2 was now so unimportant to Microsoft that Ballmer had assigned a tiny team in Israel to create an OS/2 variant of NT. The Microsofties hated OS/2 so much they couldn’t even bear to have someone working on it in the same continent.

You can always count on the threads about C or C++ to have somebody ask questions like this.

Gaming isn't the lucrative part of the business — it's selling data center GPUs for AI/ML. That's where Nvidia is raking in the cash.

It's in the article:
"...of the company's $18.12 billion in revenue, $14.51 billion was generated by its data center division."

They spent over a decade building up CUDA into the industry standard for GPU compute programming. That's why it's so hard for anyone to compete in this domain. AMD is doing better in gaming, but that's practically a sideshow business for Nvidia now.

I remember Netscape Navigator getting SIGBUS on Solaris SPARC machines once or twice a week. Presumably this was due to most development being done on systems that allowed unaligned memory operations.

Architectures that allow unaligned memory operations should at least have some sampling mechanism to record the instruction addresses causing misaligned operations, for both portability and performance improvement of codebases.

Yes, this was my theory. I was guessing most people hadn't heard of ThreadX and didn't know what it was or that it was used in devices they already owned. That is the sort of info that gets stuff read and shared.
Heard that one before. 2nd paragraph of the article:

The Pollard affair took Washington and Tel Aviv by surprise. Wolf Blitzer, Washington correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, in a book published just several weeks before Pollard’s arrest, wrote that there is no real fear in the US government that American Jews are leaking information to the Mossad, the Israeli equivalent of the CIA. “Experienced US intelligence officials readily acknowledge that the degree of cooperation between the CIA and the Mossad is already so close that the two organizations do not really have to spy on each other. Despite infractions on both sides,” Blitzer explained, “US and Israeli intelligence organizations have maintained a discreet arrangement since the 1950s, banning covert operations against each other.
> The (open) industry secret is that nobody actually uses the GUIs for anything other than analyzing build products (viewing floorplans, etc.); everything else is done through tcl scripts and Makefiles. This lets you both avoid the disaster that is the GUI portion of the tools and keep the entire project in a regular text representation (which means you can actually edit everything and check it into version control!).

I've sort of worked out this but it seems to be a weird mix of "you need to know what the UI is doing and why in order to avoid the UI". Getting that initial understanding seems a very high barrier.

(version control also seems to be something they manage to break on a whim over toolchain versions - maybe it's one of these hardware things where people just stick with the same toolchain version over the life of the product).

While I think the 'AI' trends are waaaaaaaay overinflated right now and somewhat grifty, even if it completely collapsed Nvidia would be fine. They provide lots and lots of compute power to those who need it, and in the commercial and public sectors that's always needed - far more as technology advances.

Someone somewhere will always need to run a bigger, better simulation and Nvidia is more than ready to provide the hardware for that.

We usually do laundry on the weekends, during the day. It's actually more annoying in the basement, as that's where the familyroom/TV are located (and the wall between the W&D and family room is just single-layer drywall, with the W&D right there).
Even more frustrating is on the Linux side. We've had a couple of threads about how bad Wayland is, when most of the problems are due to Nvidia binary drivers.

It's been 11 years since Linus gave Nvidia the finger. Nobody who is thinking of possibly running Linux should ever buy an Nvidia product. Yet Nvidia is still very commonly spec'd into Linux builds even today.
We've got too many of these in 1991 and think we can spare a few now.
Countries just tell ISPs they need to block ips. It's easy to bypass, see the pirate bay blocks.
That will change, and you can expect support in Wayland to eventually surpass X11 because guess where all the developer effort is.
>does using telemetry have downsides?

The main downside is the extra work and cost of getting it all set up, properly cleaning up unneeded telemetry, and making sure telemetry itself doesn't cause performance issues.

>No concept of misleading info or bad product development direction from using it?

Telemetry doesn't replace a strong protect sense, but without telemetry you are flying blind.

I tried daily driving Orion for a couple weeks and there's a lot of great work being done, but I had some pain points. The extension functionality on iPadOS is really jank in a way I don't quite know how to explain. Like sometimes I come back to Orion and the extensions are signed out of or sometimes they straight up just don't work. I've also had some bad one off experiences of random sites taking a long time to load or running into issues. Orion plays really well with Safari though, which is great, so I run a very strange combo of Orion on my iPhone, Safari on my iPad, and Arc on my Mac. There's enough additions on top of Safari for me to prefer Orion over it (if it works well), but not enough for me to prefer it over Arc on my Mac. Arc's QOL features and out the box UI design just put it way above any browser I've used.

Google Busts a Coffee Myth
You really don't need to think about monads or functional programming to have option and result. The focus on explaining these in the context of sum types and monads only serves to distract most people. A list is a monad and people use them every day and they are fine.

> Having a (val, err) tuple IS more easy than returning a monad.

Arguments about which concept is easier for people to understand pretty quickly descend into subjectivity but I don't believe this is universally true. Why am I getting a value when there's an error? What do I return as my value when returning errors? Explaining to someone that a function returns (val, err) and only one of these values will be significant is more or less the same as describing a result.

Option is even simpler. It's a list that can have at most one item. Or, you know how in python you can set a variable to None? Here's how to do it in a strongly typed language.
