> In my view this is a political designation as China is actually our deeply integrated trade partner, manufacturing most of the hardware we are all discussing this on, it seems absurd to label a trade partner as a "foreign adversary" IMO.

It's nonsense to consider "deeply integrated trade partner" and "foreign adversary" to be mutually exclusive categories. You can thank the hubris of 90s American politicians for the fact that China is both, and it will take some time and effort to unwind the situation.

> To your earlier point, of course if an app is "draining the user's bank account without authorization" Apple or Google will block them, but that is not the job of politicians in Washington.

No. It's totally within the remit of politicians to ban such apps, just like it's in their remit to make theft illegal and do a great deal of other things. That fact that a corporate pseudo-government might also take a similar action is irrelevant.
As an equally sad counterpoint, if we had 7 billion people out there foraging the countryside would be stripped bare, wild animals driven further from human inhabited areas, and untold habitats would be degraded from all the wandering and poking around.

Don't get me wrong it's a great hobby, but this isn't something that would heal all social ills if we somehow got everybody or near everybody out doing it.
Not sure why you're downvoted, but as far as I've heard AMD cards can't beat 4090 - yet.

Still, I think AMD will catch or overtake NVidia in hardware soon, but software is a bigger problem. Hopefully the opensource strategy will pay off for them.
Isn't this just climate change?
This sounds similar to what's happened in Oakland, CA. When I moved here 25 years ago there was a huge underground music and arts scene in West Oakland warehouses but the last 10 years of gentrification has wiped it out. After the pandemic (and constant right-wing propaganda) Oakland is now once again deemed a wasteland and businesses are fleeing, but I've started noticing a new youth culture is slowly starting to emerge here and there.

I've seen the pattern in several other places as well: arts thrive in the affordable undesirable edges of society until it generates enough buzz for capitalists to notice it and move in seeking to profit off of it. The problem is that culture is not valued in capitalism because it has no landlord.

Those are Navi 22/23/24 GPUs while the RX 6800+ GPUs are Navi 21. They have different ISAs... however, the ISAs are identical in all but name.

LLVM has recently introduced a unified ISA for all RDNA 2 GPUs (gfx10.3-generic), so the need for the environment variable workaround mentioned in the other comment should eventually disappear.
Climate change is real, and more severe weather and fluctuations is actually something that the models predict. While there is natural variability in the Earth's climate system, the current rate and magnitude of climate change far exceed what can be explained solely by natural factors

That argument doesn't make much sense IMHO. By enforcing as many things as possible using some tooling we now do have more time to actually learn "core principles" instead of figuring how to configure/use/... $IDE/$EDITOR/$TOOL/$COMPILER/$OS to get comparable results (or anything to build at all).

I mean, chess engines use transposition tables to store encountered positions. In this case you can use the zobrist hash as the index to a hash table and it's an O(1) lookup for a given position.

Typically that's going to be the best way to index into full games. Since you can point to an entry via a game tree search (eg; each node of the tree is a position that you can use as an index to a big transposition table).

You can probably use a bloom filter to check if a given position has ever been encountered (eg; as a layer on top of the transposition table) though. For something like storing 10 billion positions w/ a 10^-6 false positive probability (w/ reasonable number of hashes) you're looking at 30+GiB bloom filters.
I'm somewhat into techno, and I cannot name a single artist from Berlin.

My knowledge is dated, but it does fall in the realm of "post cold war", so I'm wondering why I can't think of more if this scene was so important.

Agree.

> gatekeepers are bad

Somebody has to pay to gather, store and present information in usable fashion in order for it to be of value. It doesn't just appear or self-assemble.

The alternative we face may be something like France: buyers pay in time, shoe leather and exclusion from opportunities what they would save in agent commissions.

Consolidation in the aircraft industry has failed the country. We've got no other vendors.

I'll also admit to working for McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, 1984-86. Sandy McDonnell was CEO, and John McDonnell III had been an engineer in various divisions and disciplines for a while, and was waiting in the wings. McDonell Douglas was a family company. I had to get a manager's signature to get office supplies, Sandy was so thrifty. If, as this article claims, MD accounting based culture was the problem, it hadn't been in place too long before the 1997 Boeing acquisition.
All of that is only your opinion, there are no objective facts in there at all.

OpenCL is as dead as OpenGL and the inference implementations that exist are very unperformant. The only real options are CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan and CPU.

Apple never had a numpad on its laptops. Since the aluminum unibody design, the Apple laptops outshine all Windows laptops because of the touchpad alone. Nothing compares to it. On a Macbook I don't want to use a mouse, on a Windows laptop I don't want to use the touchpad. I've never had any touchpad that really worked for me, so without thinking about it. The fact that they still have those buttons and that I have to use two hands, or move my fingers away from the touchpad, or lift my fingers from the touchpad to tap to click - unbelievable that they haven't figured this out.

The Mac just works. The only time the touchpad doesn't work is when you need pixel precise selection like in photo editing, and even then it outshines all Windows touchpads.

All Windows laptops I've had look outdated after two years. I've had three Macbooks, the previous two 5 and 7 years, and both didn't look outdated, not even used

The body, magsafe, touchpad, no stupid privacy settings, disk encryption, no OS licensing - this laptop works for me. With Windows it's always waiting for the time that it doesn't work like expected or doesn't work at all.

No point on a laptop. Some point if the laptop has a tablet design (removable keyboard or fold-underneath keyboard).

I have a touchscreen on my laptop. Pretty useless to be honest when I used a Windows 10 VM (pointer pass-through) and really useless in Ubuntu.

Presumably Windows 11 has better support?
> evidence of a suicide is virtually nonexistent

1. Epstein was found hanged in his cell

2. Video footage from the communal area an assassin would have to use for entrance/egress was analyzed by the FBI and showed nobody entering his block

3. There is video footage of his first suicide attempt on July 23rd, a few weeks before he was found hanging in his cell[^1]

4. An investigation by the FBI, and an autopsy performed by a coroner, concluded that the death was a suicide.

How hard would it be for AMD just to document the levels of support of different cards the way NVIDIA does with their "compute capability" numbers ?!

I'm not sure what is worse from AMD - the ML software support they provide for their cards, or the utterly crap documentation.

How about one page documenting AMD's software stack compared to NVIDIA, one page documenting what ML frameworks support AMD cards, and another documenting "compute capability" type numbers to define the capabilities of different cards.
Companies like Walmart and McDonald's take advantage of government assistance by not paying their employees enough to live on. And before you say that only teenagers should be working these minimum wage jobs - there aren't enough teens to work these jobs, especially during school hours. If you're employing people, you need to pay them enough - and if they can't live on the wages you pay, the company should foot the bill for the welfare, not the rest of the economy.

Thats fine until your revenue growth stagnates. Its then that your shareholders come knocking demanding growth, at which point market share becomes incredibly important. When that happens, opinionated brand image needs to become much more generic brand image to start attracting more of the market.

> he made his students work use pens while taking his tests

This is very common in the Netherlands, I think that's why it was a rule of his.

In general, the Dutch education system seems to be against pencils (at least this was the case until recent; I'm Dutch and mid 20s). You're tought to write using a fountain pen, not a pencil. In high school, you're allowed to switch to ball point but absolutely not to pencil. In university, write with pretty much anything you want, but... not with a pencil. If you do take your test with a pencil, there's genuinely a chance your teacher will give you a 0, although most of the time they'll probably be forgiving.

I majored in CS in the Netherlands and every test was done with good old pen and paper. Students still make mistakes all the time, which is why everyone uses a scrap sheet.

Chicken of the woods is where people get sick most often. They're super easy to identify and don't really have any dangerous look alikes, so people tend to start with them when they start gathering mushrooms.

They're delicious and the grow in huge quantities. So most people will eat a lot of them.

And most people are okay, but several have either allergies or a sensitivity to them. And they get violently sick.

Rule number one of wild gathered foods, regardless of what it is: eat just a little of it until you know it won't make you sick, even if it's 100% safe.
