Yes, obviously I’m aware that you can throw more RAM at an M-series GPU.

But of course that’s only helpful for specific workflows.
Maybe it's controversial, but I don't think comparing 5nm mobile hardware from 2021 is a fair fight against 12nm desktop hardware from 2018.

And still, performance-wise, the 2070 still wins out by a ~33% margin: https://browser.geekbench.com/opencl-benchmarks
Another aspect is that there is a large span in the amount of water you can let the rice absorb. A 1:1 ratio of water to rice (not accounting for evaporation) is all you need to cook rice no matter if it's short grain or long grain, but a lot of rice will also happily absorb more, like 2x its weight, if you give it enough water and time.
It sounds like you are using long grain rice given the large cooking time and high water ratio.
> I hadn't heard of the distinction stellar or non-stellar black hole before.

While it's possible that supermassive black holes were formed from stellar collapse, there are models where they didn't, while they _know_ that this one was formed from stellar collapse.
Which free rein? They enforce the one thing that pays them by forcing us to watch ads on their platform is not free rein. Also which monopolies? For ads theres bing, DDG, Kagi and many others same as Youtube, I think, they have become so big because they historically provided a better service and people chose them as the main one. I don’t get much of what you are saying.
There are extremely wealthy people out there gambling on horse races.
Sure, theres a distribution for everytbing. But on the whole I dont believe these distributions are much different. If anything its the born american in the coddled middle class suburban upbringing thats likely to slack off and not ever have learned what hard work actually means. They are playing roblox and pushing the average age to start driving back by the year, while a kid their age half the world away might be laying brick 12 hours a day knowing if they don’t they don’t eat that night.
Yes, but an asteroid doesn't have to be earth-ending to ruin agriculture for a year. This is similar to the civilizational threat of volcanic supereruptions.
> they cannot rely on the graphics to sell themselves

Game reviewers have always been saying that games rely too much on graphics, at the expense of game design. It was already a trope in the early 1990s.

From that era I recommend Ultima 7 Serpent Isle
I think that's too defeatist of a view.

The boring reality is that small things done consistently over time seriously add up. It's true for health and exercise. It's true for relationships. It's true for finances. A $5 pick-me-up every now and then isn't a bad thing by itself. But if it becomes a daily habit, then you're missing out on other choices with better long-run returns. The immediate costs are small, but the eventual opportunity costs are huge.

Younger people have a resource older people don't: time. That's time for habits to compound. May as well choose good ones to compound, because you're never getting that time back again.
I analyzed 10k YouTube videos with my AI agent to find business ideas
I've always been someone who can easily come up with new business ideas, but I've noticed that many of my friends and colleagues struggle with this.

Take Y Combinator, Shark Tank, Gary Vee, and the My First Million podcast, for example. These platforms and personalities offer incredible insights into the business world through their conversations, guests, and real-life business stories.

Now I know what you're thinking - spending hours watching these videos might not be the best use of your time.

That's why I created an AI agent to do the work for me!

This AI agent goes to my selected YouTube channels, listens to the content, and generates a list of business ideas, complete with summaries and how-to guides. It even categorizes them like B2B/B2C/B2G, or AI-focused, service-based, and many more.

So, I'm excited to share my latest project - The Idea Vault: 14,838 Unique Business Ideas from Leaders.

The AI agent compiled this list by analyzing the following channels:

Shark Tank

My First Million

Y Combinator

This Week in Startups

Gary Vee

Tim Ferriss

Ted Talks

SaaStr

All In

Alex Hormozi

Tony Robbins

Codie Sanchez

The Diary of a CEO

EO

James Sinclair

Lenny's Podcast

Marketing Against Grain

No Priors

Stanford Business

Startup Grind

UpFlip

Young Entrepreneurs Forum.

Whether you're a startup owner, small business owner, student, or side hustler, I think you'll find this list incredibly valuable. Check it out and let me know what you think! I'm also happy to share the code I used if anyone is interested.
They'll go after sharing too, since sharing is "creating" a copy. Ripe for abuse.

TFCat: JSON Implementation of Time-Frequency Radio Catalogues
Wow, that's actually pretty cool!
I love programming but I'm terrible at coming up with my own ideas for useful things to make that haven't already been done many times over.

I don't particularly like making things for myself as I don't really have a need for much, I prefer to make things for other people, but finding those people (with good ideas), is very difficult.
> 3D world. Adventure game mechanics, with problems and puzzles - but where progress opens up more puzzles, and where instead of developing the character skills, you develop the story. Slow paced.

7th guest came out first. Too dark, while also being too campy to have the widespread lasting appeal of Myst, so no surprise why outside a niche one is mostly forgotten and the other always comes up even if only to hate for some. But they were basically the same game.

I don’t even know if 7th guest was first of its kind, probably not, but it sold bucket loads, partly because it was a pack in game for MPC kits and PCs in the early 90s.

Last month I went to Vegas for the first time in years. I only ever go as a way to get out into the desert - Death Valley most often, this time Zion and Bryce Canyon.

I spent a couple nights in Vegas because my 13yo was interested in seeing it. I watched what was happening in the casinos, and wondered if I was missing something. I read a bit about craps, because I didn't really understand the bets people were making.

Reading gambling forums is just depressing. Many people understand it's just luck and are doing it for fun, but there are so many people who think that you can get "good" at rolling dice. People talk about winning big on a roll and then "reinvesting" their winnings at the table.

Legalized gambling is just a giant machine for separating people of all classes from whatever money they have.
Investing in stocks != gambling. The market is not a casino.
Tech lead for WEMC here - see https://tealtool.earth Straightforward charts of climate related data for different countries and regions around the globe

For temperature and a few other variables, it shows historical data from the EU Copernicus service (C3S) along with three different projected series out to 2100

for CO2, it shows the latest historical data

The charts are concerning and I am sure my co-workers are not hell bent on faking data to scare people just to get more funding; they work too much and go to too many meetings.
Yes. And it actually does have an iGPU, depending on which model.
Can it actually reuse the query plan? Couldn't that lead to a worse performing plan eventually? Say after inserting lots of data such that a different plan becomes a better option.
Quick note to observe that all of the above while true becomes less of a practical issue as CPUs become faster vs i/o, which they have done and probably will keep doing.
Do you regularly allow untrusted machines onto your private pub/sub instances? I'm not sure the "operator pulling the plug" part is unique to the finance industry.

Also, yeah, you have to do some engineering around your multicast distribution to make a pub/sub system, but multicast pretty much solves the data rate scaling problem - you are now basically O(1) in the number of connected subscribers.
The window on being able to archive your favorite channels with yt-dlp is definitely closing fast.
Yubico had done some work back in (I want to say..) 2020 to solve this very problem: bootstrapping a new key based on existing trust with an existing key. Of course the trick remains of needing to have access to both keys for at least a short time to create the relationship between them. They worked out some of the mathematics and cryptography they'd need, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. They wrote a blog post about it but I'm having trouble locating it.
For what reasons do you believe programming and medicine will remain options but not music or art? They are most probably all doomed in the next few years. Diagnosis models are already showing superior accuracy over human-only and human-in-the-loop results (i.e. as with chess AIs, the best results come from following the machine blindly, humans get it wrong when they second guess it).
Interesting the source code hints it uses C++, yet as far as I can tell, there is no use of classes anywhere.

There are various funds which include or exclude companies based on various criteria, whether generic ESG ones or more specific ones.
I like supabase very much, but their network latency in China is too high. I have tried nodes in Singapore and Tokyo. It doesn't matter as a personal blog, but I can't consider it for business purposes. I had to host it myself on Alibaba Cloud, but I had to face many complexities. I like the simplicity of supabase. Maybe, when will they be able to host within China?
Unfortunately any political thread gets a lot of attention from people with ulterior motives to "steer" the thread. It almost never feels organic or authentic, just a lot of astroturf pushing a particular viewpoint.

I don't want to have to dig through folks' comment histories to try to determine if they're actually being truthful or engaged. So I'd rather the political stuff stays on reddit and x.
there's two types of gambling addiction.

sports betting, table games, etc: gambler motivated by excitement, somehow thinks they are going to win and make money. often racks up massive losses due to desire to "win it all back" as you say. this is stereotypically the "male" style of gambling addiction. like your friends.

slot machines, video poker: the psychology is very different. the heaviest slot machine players don't have any expectation that they are going to come out ahead. they play the game partly because it puts them into a soothing flow state (though in many cases it is just compulsive behavior with no good motivation). losing money overtime is understood as the cost of playing.

slot machine gambling is stereotypically associated with women. you wouldn't see this either because it's a more solitary activity (unlike table games/sports betting) but it can be very dark -- I think probably worse than the classic gambling addiction.

i think the gender distinctions are real although obviously it's not hard and fast (plenty of male slot machine players, plenty of women losing money placing bets). i think it's probably partly brain differences and partly who casinos/bookies vs. video slot companies choose to market to.

How are people thinking about this kind of attack? It was already viable to Photoshop someone's face into existing pornography. New tooling just lowers the barrier to execution. It seems like fighting an impossible battle since the tools are already widely available.

I feel bad for people who are harmed by the creation and publication of such content, but it's not obvious to me that it's possible to combat it effectively using the legal system. Then again, maybe such laws don't have to be completely effective, so maybe it's sufficient that sharing such content cannot be done publicly in order to deter the most obvious abuses.

Do you think in the very long term we'll remain so attached to protecting our likeness or will continued digitization of reality bring forth a loosening of such cultural norms?
For me, it was the science teacher in middle school who insisted that rivers couldn't flow north, because on a globe, north was up.

Absract: TFCat (Time-Frequency Catalogue) is a data interchange format based on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), which has been initially designed for exchanging low frequency radio events and features. It defines several types of JSON objects and how they are combined to represent data related to temporal-spectral features of a time spectrogram (a.k.a., dynamic spectrum), their properties, and their temporal and spectral extents. This implementation is inheriting from the GeoJSON file format. The TFCat python library is implementing this specification and provides a software interface permitting to create, update and validate TFCat objects efficiently.

It's a valid comparison in the very limited sense of "I have $2000 to spend on a way to run LLMs, should I get an RTX4090 for the computer I have or should I get a 24GB MacBook", or "I have $5000, should I get an RTX A6000 48GB or a 96GB MacBook".

Those comparisons are unreasonable in a sense, but they are implied by statements like GPs "Hence a lot of people in the local LLMA community are really going after high-memory Macs".

This is implicitly assuming men's expectations are valid and correct, but not women's.

The standards I'm talking about here are things like "will not mock or belittle me" and "will consider me an equal participant in the relationship and value my desires accordingly."

They haven't misunderstood the situation or made a mistake. Their BATNA is to not have a spouse and they are taking it. Where a generation or two they might have settled for someone who treated them dismissively, but not abusively.
I've heard the savings/bond/CD advice from older people who were working during the Volcker years.
Tangentially related, the article mentioned the first re-attachment of a limb from a 12-year old boy whose limb was preserved with ice prior to surgery at MGH. That jogged my memory, as my AP Chemistry teacher told us that story one day in class. Turns out he grew up in Somerville and knew the kid from the neighborhood, and all the kids used to hop the freight trains to catch a lift to various places around Somerville and the surrounding areas. He may have even said that he was there when it happened. He said that the kid was fairly new to hopping the trains like that, as you learn to pull yourself in between cars or very close to the train so that you don't hit a wall and, well, lose an arm. [1]

For what it's worth, my last company chose React Native over Flutter not necessarily for its technical merits, but because the React ecosystem is so huge. You can find and hire React (web) programmers anywhere, and even if they have zero native experience, it's less of a transition for them than learning Google's stack.

There are also some React web components that can be reused for native (but not all, and probably not even the majority). This can be SOME time savings if you're doing a pretty standard business app.
YouTube Premium (which avoids ads and still pays creators, plus offers downloads) is $14/month.

Even that might not pencil out like the airbnb. Its still potentially someones home so it doesn’t have to stand alone as a business that fully covers its costs and makes a profit margin. A hotel on the otherhand would have to do that. I don’t imagine youd ever be able to rent an entire home from a hotel company for just a few dozen dollars more than a basic hotel room.
Samsung Retakes the Smartphone Crown
Since people here are arguing about things that the article doesn't state, or mistating things it does state, here is the actual relevant text

The current research supports the role of ice in temporary pain relief, but there is little evidence supporting the use of ice to aid in healing, or even swelling reduction.[7] Further research is needed to further understand how ice should be applied. At this time, due to the lack of evidence, there is no consensus on the ideal temperature ranges, time frames, application methods, or patient populations when using ice on a soft tissue injury.[16] Most studies use icing protocols of intermittent 10-20 minute applications, several times a day for the first few days following an injury.[7]

and

Currently, the RICE protocol is no longer recommended and has given way to other protocols for treating soft tissue injuries. Most recently, in 2019 the mnemonic "PEACE & LOVE" was coined by Blaise Dubois. The PEACE component stands for protection, elevation, avoid anti-inflammatories, compression, and education. It guides the treatment of acute soft tissue injuries. The LOVE component stands for load, optimism, vascularization, and exercise. It guides the treatment for the sub-chronic and chronic management of soft tissue injuries.

Well, I mean, neither are ideal. It's somewhat more common for the sports betting habit to turn into an addiction than the handbags, though (though both do happen). You're rather unlikely to advance to buying 10 handbags a week; but spending half your salary on gambling... that does, unfortunately, happen, quite a bit.

SimTower and Yoot Tower are some of my favorite games. Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'd be interested in working on fixing up the C backend and doing a new interface (probably either in Qt or SDL+Dear ImGui). I tried doing an Emscripten version of one of my other projects (https://github.com/ndiddy99/openmadoola) but found that it required restructuring the code to work with the "browser calls your loop" paradigm, and after I did that there was significantly worse input lag than running natively, which made the game less fun to play. I ended up scrapping the whole thing.
I'm not sure IEX is cloud-first, that would be a recent development. Their 38 mile fiber gimmick is also kind of silly because they have to provide data to a consolidated feed with no delay.
Buying a m3 max with 128gb of RAM while will underperform any consumer NVIDIA GPU it will be able to load larger models in practice but slowly.

I think a way for the m series chips to aggressively target GPU inference or training would need a strategy that increases the speed of the RAM to start to match GDDR6 or HBM3 or use it directly.
I have a wealthy and successful friend who loves sports betting, usually places bets in the hundreds-to-thousands range. Calls it “Monopoly money.”

My impression is that it’s a scoring system for competition with his (wealthy and successful) siblings; the dollar values are an afterthought.
I feel like this is backwards? When you reach your heroine limit, you die. It's pretty final. And, most people don't have unlimited money with which to gamble.

What's fake about a politician taking a bribe?
The average woman doesn't make more than the average man so maybe that's not the demographic we're discussing here.
I have the impression, and I might be totally wrong here, but that most programmers didn't learn how to program because they like programming itself, but rather because they wanted to do something that requires programming and then learning that skill is more like a consequence of them needing it to do something they enjoyed. I'm not a programmer, but, for instance I learned a little simple bash scripts to scrape some stuff, and I didn't learn that because I like writing bash scripts, but rather because I wanted to scrape stuff.

We are not there yet, but if we eventually reach a level of AI where you can just ask AI to implement stuff for you – I don't know, port this program to linux or whatever – without you having to learn how to code. I think many people, who would want to learn how to code today, wouldn't want to learn how to write code in this reality.

I've always saw programming as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. Sure there are people who enjoy coding and see it as therapeutic for them, but I don't think this is most of programmers...

I'll take your $16/wk for vaping costs, I don't have any hard data but I think that's probably a bit low.

$5 for coffee 5 times a week, that's $25/wk.

Looking around me, its hard to get a meal delivered with a food delivery service for less than $18. Making a meal at home, even a frozen pre-cooked dinner, is usually like $5 or less, so we'll say an additional $13 meal 4x a week so $52/wk.

52 + 25 + 16 * 4 weeks in a month is $372/mo. Over $4,400/yr, on just eating out/delivery, one coffee 5 times a week, and vaping. And somehow I doubt its really just 5 coffees a week, its probably not just $13 additional cost per meal only 4 times a week, I doubt a vaping habit is really only $16/wk.

Is an extra $4,400/yr in their budget a big deal to the people in question?
That's mostly about pride in their own abilities to "pick the right horse" than to any genuine desire or expectation they will make money.
