The issue is that the market doesn't necessarily react rationally.

The fact that OpenAI valuation raises was very understandable (but not easy to invest in practice + the corporate structure is shady).

However, Nvidia, it's a very optimistic hype, as the cards are very likely to get replaced with more specialized AI chips in the near-term.

Probably by Apple first, then whoever wakes up.

Also, once you built your big datacenter with all these cards, then you don't renew them every year.
That’s wrong. You don’t have to be a member of a club to consume legally. Consumption has always been legal. Ownership was banned and is now legal for up to 50 grams.

The idea of handler sleeping for a month is neat idea. But I do wonder how you test new versions of your code, because it potentially needs to handle months of different historical “paused” states. That’s not something you just write a unit test for, especially as that unit test would only be valid until those states were consumed.

"openly fascist"

I disagree with you here. Proud boys was originally created out of the need to protect people from the likes of Antifa, which is a facist group.

Most activists/hacktivists are fascists. If you don't agree with them, they cause issue, violence, and/or destruction until they get their way. Opposing groups like this does not make one fascist.

Lots of what Gavin does is satire...which many people apparently don't get or understand.

That may be true, but it is still much more convenient and anonymous to just give someone you trust some money, especially if you live in an apartment, or have small children.

I agree. However voltage is relevant for insulation, which also affects how heat can dissipate for the wire, and might also be relevant for a failing wire, when higher and higher voltage can build up at the point of failure (not sure if it's a common engineering consideration outside of fuses, which are designed to fail).
I think this will be full of similar experiences: Some time ago my wife's cards suddenly got all kinds of charges, clearly not ours. So we call the bank and while they put the blame on us, among other things they said the bank never ever would contact us by SMS and we may have clicked on dodgy links in one of those messages.

Eventually they decide we should replace all our cards. 5 minutes later we get an SMS asking us to call an unknown number to set our PIN code for the new card. It contained at least 5 warning signs as in the author's article.

We call them back asking them what that SMS is about and the only explanation is "That is the good kind of SMS, you can trust it"

(Eventually we did get all stolen money back, but it took a while. We never got a plausible explanation of what may have happened and what we could do to prevent it in the future)

I’m not sure your premise is correct. This is important here.

You start off by saying: it costs nothing to keep this site up. No downside.

But there may be some downside from an SEO perspective, which the minuscule ad revenue would not offset.

Even brands with good SEO, with pages which are making money, take some of them down occasionally. They idea is that you want to refocus all your SEO on the pages that matter most - which means pulling others.

Here, you may want all the SEO “juice” to go to your videos, to push the maximum number of users there. If some of them are getting diverted to the website, and that pays less per click, you may in fact be losing money on it vs. having no website.
There comes a point where you are optimizing finances beyond what is necessary, in my opinion.

Have a decent plan for your cash so it's earning good interest, then go out and focus your time on the rest of life. Automate as much as possible. Don't worry about a few $10s of extra interest!
> If the cause of COVID had nothing to do with infectious disease labs, food standards, or air filtration, then those three action items would be irrelevant.

Not so, because the first two will reduce the rate at which new pandemics emerge.

I'm not so sure about the value of the third, as while the will reduce the rate at which any specific airborne infection spreads, that just means the next pandemic needs the set of traits which make it survive longer while airborne e.g. what the common cold already has.

> If the cause of COVID was acute poisoning combined with a global, coordinated psychological operation, then you've got bigger fish to fry.

Indeed, but both bio labs and wet markets were known to be potential risks before hand, the former being why we even have a biohazard warning icon and why biosafety levels are defined. Those risks still exist, the wet markets just need to end completely, while for the bio labs it's always good to have people imagining various ways things could go wrong in order to make them not actually go wrong outside of our imagination.

Yes, Restate supports registering different versions of your handler code. Restate requires that the code is still available for as long as there is an in-flight invocation of your handler for a given version. Breaking your handler/long-running process up into multiple steps can shorten this time tremendously. Then, one only needs to make sure that the handler/process state is forward-compatible. For example, using Protobuf for your handler/process state will make this fairly straight-forward.

The ever-popular "gateway" theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_drug_effect) but applied to the dealers.

As someone who used to deal some every now and then, I think I could count on one hand the amount of people I sold weed to, who would be OK with whatever drug, the rest were only purchasing cannabis and cannabis only.

They didn't reach out to me to "get high no matter what cost" but specifically to "get high by smoking cannabis". If I didn't have cannabis, there was no interest in getting anything.

I do always find this funny as a major support for the lab leak theory. At that time there wasn’t any of the genetic lineage information that we have now which is the strongest evidence for zoonotic origin.

Why does anybody’s public or private beliefs at that point in time matter? Politics have always existed in science but generally over time the truth wins.
Hard disagree: an IDE is a UI that integrates (the "I" in IDE) various development tools such as an editor and compiler with a unifying interface. An editor that wasn't mostly equivalent to its interface would be, well, sed (even ed has a UI). Dog knows I'd love to have all my IDE tools available as CLI scripts, but I'd never do my day to day development that way.

All that said, I like the new UI. The top bar with the project/task/branch switcher is just perfect for my workflow, even if the tasks UI could do with a little more attention.

Given the cost of the product, I considered all documented features fair game to use. If a bug was found because of a primitive looping construct, then they were on the hook to fix it (there weren't any, they worked fine). One of those same senior devs also didn't know basic logic rules like De Morgan's Laws and tried to "correct" my conditional logic and broke the program instead.
Interesting that it could be done at all - but having a hard time coming up with any real world use cases for this. Are there any?
This seems to just be the logical end-point of any person who's in a position where no one can hold them accountable for too long. Anybody who can't be told "no" by anyone around them for a period of time starts to develop a set of neuroses best described, IMO, as "petulant child" syndrome.
> "Basically nobody writes CUDA,"

Quite a thing to say as head of an AI hardware startup.

Most of the machine learning libraries we use/test in production (and that I use personally on my desktop) have hand written, extensively optimized CUDA kernels. It would be problem #1 switching to Tenstorrent hardware.

Not that I like that one bit, or that I really understand the optimization of these libraries. I do see triton code as well, but it still seems to be the suboptimal path.

Intel has been struggling with CPU performance for a decade, and has been trying to regain their position in absolute performance and performance/{price,watt} comparisons.

A software that can't accept a % as part of your password is absolutely, positively broken--in any industry or application. In many companies, this would be a P0 "don't go home until it's fixed" production emergency if a bug like this crept in to the software. We need to stop excusing long-standing bugs in horrible legacy software just because they are long-standing.
> don't want to join a club.

What would be the reason for not wanting to join a club? Seems like a pretty OK solution between "it's totally illegal" and "the state store sells it", with some safe guards but still let non-profits organize the work and community.

FWIW, we have "social clubs" here in Spain, where it's neither illegal/legal on a national level, and it seems to be working out OK as far as I know.

The web frontend works that way because little depends on the frontend. But the infrastructure one layer down is obsessive about backwards compatibility, both in the browser and in HTTP servers.

> Intel and AMD don't use x86 cores but [...] instead translate the x86 code to RISC code on the fly

I used to say this all the time and I've been informed that it's something of a misunderstanding. For example, most RISC-V processors also decompose instructions into multiple μops: https://docs.boom-core.org/en/latest/sections/execution-stag...

So it isn't like there is a literal RISC processor inside the x86 processor with a tiny little compiler sitting in the middle. It's just that the out-of-order execution model requires instructions to be broken up into subtasks which can separately queue at the core's various execution units. Even pipelining instructions still wastes a lot of silicon (while you're doing an integer add the floating point ALU is just sitting there, bored) so breaking things up this way greatly improves parallelism. As I understand it, modern μop-based processor cores can actually have dozens of ALUs, multiple load/store units, virtual->physical address translation units, etc all working together asynchronously to chug through the incoming instructions.

They are part and parcel.

In USA for example, road design AND vehicle design is directly linked and beholden to NHSTA regulations and policies.

Infrastructure (IE State route roads) are ever trending towards wider lanes and more gentle shoulder. This is precisely due to vehicle industry requirements requiring more vehicle safety features (and thus width and length), height, and shoulder level clearance @ windows.

All these infrastructure and endpoint changes are driven "organically" by the USA trend towards SUVs, but mainly driven by insurance requirements. Insurance and gov't "make out" on safer/roads/vehicles due to (perceivabally) less accidents and road maintenance.

I can't speak to airplanes, but I imagine the fact that far, far, far more people are able to fly today than even 25 years ago should show that the infrastructure has drastically improved.
I probably spent 20 hours this week trying to get a not-that-obscure piece of software that explicitly states "Debian 12" support on their website working on a freshly-installed (as in - install Debian 12, update system, install software); and it still just doesn't work. After hammering my way through 4 different errors, and hopelessly out of date (and wrong) documentation, I finally got them to issue a refund this morning.

"Linux Compatibility" often means "someone got it working once 6 years ago, on an extremely out of date version of the OS, but its probably still fine".

IMHO, NVidia isn’t just competing on GPU. It’s competing on ecosystem and infrastructure so I think they’re quite untouchable for the foreseeable future.

I think AI will burst though. So few companies have a novel use, but all of them are promising a future they can’t yet reliably deliver. How much capital runway is there on this?

I’d bet (figuratively of course, as if I had any money) that AI will see a lot of casualties by end of year.
Mine has a usb-A to rj45 cable with a ferrite bead on it, as far as I can tell it just wires the four USB wires (no ground) to the pins with spaces in between. I have never understood why they do this.

But that gets back to my point that BoA does not want to pay interest to people with less than $100k cash.

Who knows, maybe the climax of the advertising/drm war will result in an ideological split of the Internet:

On the one side: Big tech. E2E DRM, Chromium is the only browser engine sites will respond to, unavoidable and unblockable ads, siloed content and whitelisted domains only. Verified real identities. Linux clients and VPN IPs completely banned or pushed to captcha hell.

The rebels: Fediverse, the small web, fringe projects, experimentation, perhaps some "indie" ads. (And the problems that come with it: Spam, scraping, etc.)
