there are other aspects to look at, its any anticompetitive behavior, or action that reduces competition.

Exclusive or privileged contracts regarding supply could be the lowest hanging fruit here.

Has nothing to do with the market simply choosing Nvidia if that's the criteria. The antitrust violation wouldn't look at that at all.

but I agree in that it makes it hard to do normal business. smaller businesses do all these anticompetitive things and its the most rational thing to do. when does it flip to being sanctionable? when does it move away from "hey you didn't maximize shareholder value so you're the problem and a judge will agree" to "hey, now you maximized shareholder value and the government thinks you're the problem and a judge will agree"

There have been many subsequent studies which generate evidence in support of the underlying idea.

You were downvoted but you're hitting the nail on the head.

The housing problem is an issue of supply and demand. Currently demand is bigger than supply and that leads to problems, no matter what you do. Either renting prices go up until many people can't afford to rent anymore, or if some law is put into place such as restricting rents or reducing owners' rights, supply will become even smaller and demand even bigger.

To solve the housing crisis the government has to either decrease demand or increase supply, or both.
I disagree; I inspected Gay's writing closely and compared it to the original and from what I can tell, she had specific intent to spend the least amount of effort and skill to make something that barely passed the threshold for being publishable, or she lacked the skill entirely to write her own unique text.

Travel software is hilarious one of "You think this should be simple." until you run into people.

If their title is X, they must get approval. EXCEPT This one really good sales person. Their title is X but they can fly first class if they want and doesn't need preapproval unless it's 10k where everyone else is 2k.

Everyone flies except that one Software Developer who has Doctor provided note about their flying phobia so they can take the train (Amtrak). If train schedule doesn't line up, they get to show up a day early or stay extra day to accommodate train schedule.

A successful case would presumably reduce Nvidia’s markup on GPUs. That by itself would make GPUs more affordable and more widely available to people working on AI.

The problem is if development of those GPUs has such a high fixed cost that in a more competitive environment revenue does not pay for it. But that seems unlikely to me at a first glance. AMD, Apple, Google, and Facebook all have their own chips. They just don’t have CUDA to go with it, or don’t sell their chips to customers.
Yeah I've said for years that "stabby the robot" drone is only as far away as the solution to the power problem. You don't even need AI to locate a jugular. Plain old computer vision and thermals will enable a slicing robot. Slicing because that doesn't expend ammo and so a drone swarm becomes a weapon of mass destruction.
Exactly! Re-entry is the transition from orbital dynamics to aerodynamics. If you want the transition from orbit to flight to occur at a lower speed, then you need to be able to produce lift equal to your weight at that speed, at the altitude where you will hit that speed.

Ceph actually works very well with swap on zram. I have some older Ceph clusters that have 48GB zram devices used for swap.

It sometimes helps with defragmenting memory, memory pressure in general, and depending on your workload and other things running on the box, you could have better performance by being able to have more things in page cache.
It seems like a lot of people are making too much out of the fact that the ship survived re-entry. On a test flight, the difference between “the heat shield failed around the flap causing severe structural damage, but it held together enough to make it through re-entry” and “the heat shield failed around the flap ultimately resulting in a RUD” is not particularly significant. The implication for both is that there are major engineering challenges yet to be solved for managing re-entry. Don’t get me wrong, this was a successful (and wildly entertaining) test flight and I think SpaceX will get re-entry sorted out.
This argument is not convincing, considering that there were other private space companies, some with far more funding and far more support from NASA at their inception (eg Kistler Aerospace) which never got anywhere. That's why the joke when Musk expressed his desire to get into aerospace was "how do you become a millionaire in aerospace? Start as a billionaire".

Musk had, at the very least, the ability to pick good talent, enough commitment to try for one last launch even after burning through most of his fortune with no results and the ability to establish good culture for an R&D focused company. This is relatively well documented in books about the early days of SpaceX.

Theoretically someone else could

How the heck does a bug with a single quote make it past QA, let alone crash an app?

I was expecting some kind of SQL injection, which you could at least understand as a result of incompetence. Or I can similarly understand UTF-8 bugs or whatever.

But it's not like O'Brien is an uncommon name. I don't know if I'm more mystified by the fact that this made it past testing, or that rather than the reservation lookup just returning no matches it actually crashes.

I'm really trying to imagine what possible code could be crashing. I guess my best guess is an off-by-one error in a function trying to escape strings for use in a SQL query, that leads to inserting infinite quotes and running out of memory. But then I can't imagine who would be writing their own escaping function...
> given the very real concerns that there is a dangerous cult of personality surrounding Musk, seeing this footage presented this way is unsettling.
It's easy to say that now. Have you lived through unrestricted, total warfare, where one side intends to conquer a continent or the world, invades without provocation, and won't stop until brought to submission through extreme force? The Allies did not initiate war and did not want war. How many of your country's people should you sacrifice to end a war of aggression started by the enemy? Should you not use the means that will preserve as many of your lives as you can?

This century has yet to see anything like WW1 and WW2, and those who are alive today are incredibly disconnected from our recent past.
Pretty much all of these are dependencies of imagemagick, because that supports tons of image formats, often via things like lib$format. The script itself just depends on bash, imagemagick, and a few standard shell tools like sed.
This was a huge achievement and the workers were rightly cheering. I didn't take it as a sign of a cult of personality surrounding Musk at all.
I did some historical research to understand why the PC caught on (it made no sense to my 1980s teenage mind).

A PC with 80 columns card, 64KB of RAM and a floppy drive cost about the same as an Apple II Plus with the same specs (US$2,700).

A BBC Micro would set you back about US$1,500 (£900). It didn't offer slots, but did have 80 columns standard. It also had a lot of ports.

You couldn't even argue that the 8088 was much faster than the 6502. BASIC ran a lot faster on the 2MHz Beeb than on the PC.

The only thing that makes sense to me is that the people who bought it on launch were planning to use more than 64KB of RAM (which was rather expensive then).

The history page for CUDA is pretty accessible [1]. It originated from experiments at Stanford in 2000 with Ian taking on leadership of CUDA development in 2004.

> In pushing for CUDA, Jensen Huang aimed for the Nvidia GPUs to become a general hardware for scientific computing. CUDA was released in 2006. Around 2015, the focus of CUDA changed to neural networks.[8]

Credit to Jensen for pivoting, but I recall hearing about CUDA networks from Google tech talks in 2009 and realizing they would be huge. It wasn't anything unique to realize NNs were a huge innovation but it did take another 5 years for it to mature enough and for it to become clear that GPUs could be useful for training and whatnot. Additionally, it's important to remember that Google had a huge early lead here & worked closely with Nvidia since CUDA was much more mature than OpenCL (due to intentional sabotage or otherwise) and Nvidia's chips satisfied the compute needs of that early development.

So it was more like Google leading Nvidia to the drinking well and Nvidia eventually realizing it was potentially an untapped ocean and investing some resources. Remember, they also put resources behind cryptocurrency when that bubble was inflating. They're good at opportunistically taking advantage of those bubbles. It was also around this time period that Google realized they should start investing in dedicated accelerators with their TPUs because Nvidia could not meet their needs due to lack of focus (+ dedicated accelerators could outperform) leading to the first TPU being used internally by 2015 [2].

Pretending like Jensen is some unique visionary seeing something no one else in the industry didn't is insane. It was a confluence of factors and Jensen was adept at navigating his resources to take advantage of it. You can appreciate Nvidia's excellence here without pretending like Jensen is some kind of AI messiah.

You seem to be insisting on a semantic interpretation that makes the term less useful. A third party's surrogate key should not be considered a surrogate key when in your system. It doesn't matter how that key was generated, only that the semantic meaning of the key is outside of your control.

I use tmux, but as far as unreliable connections, I've found mosh[0] to be the best solution to the problem (when you have the ability to install it). It basically runs a background process on connection not tied to the session that your client will automatically reconnect to if the connection fails. I regularly close my laptop, travel between home and work, open it back up and the connection is available almost instantly.

For sure. They just move the roughly 300 lines of code elsewhere so you don't have to do it, though.

I'd like to see them move nearly all 900-ish lines of SLOC back down into the near 90-ish you'd need to initialize OpenGL.

There's so much overlap in basically everyone's graphic usage of Vulkan that you realize after doing it yourself they should have done some simple optimization for the 99% use case, and allowed other people to write the full 900+ lines for GPU compute or other use cases.
The PIO units can be a killer feature in some specialized cases. And not all the ESP32 variants have native USB, which can be a requirement. But generally I agree that ESP32 is the winner, for now.
I don't think this in particular is a personality cult, but it is pretty obvious people are kept around and probably encouraged to cheer and shit like it's a sporting event. It's a bit awkward and wouldn't surprise me that the awkward suggestion came from the top.

I get occasionally getting excited but this feels forced and doesn't it happen on every launch?

AMD’s first attempt at displacing CUDA-as-a-runtime was called AMD APP (advanced parallel processing) so this layer did indeed exist. It just sucked as badly as the rest of AMD’s slop.

Ok fair points. it really could be a thing when you've already decided and are just playing around the process. But ya'know even when there isn't an inherent bias from race, gender, alma maters and overall like ability, the whole tech interview process still sucks.

The shit soup presented at a coding interview, leetcode or take home style ones are a result of wholesale cargo cult stupidity than malice.

There's no incentive at any level in BigCo. Margins are too big for top level to care. its hard to measure, middle management layer can easily fudge metrics while driving the org effectively into the ground. Lower layer that made it through the filter, sick of this grind and are busy filing tasks sipping free coffee.

The elephant in the room is that you cannot make hiring a process driven activity.

This is org level dysfunction. There's more such exhibits - DEI, promo criteria, ERGs, re-org politics, vendor selection to name a few.
I agree with this. In a large organization, if you have risen to a level where you are being relied upon at a regular intervals, it is imperative that you have a well architected solution that you can readily change and this is where you separate your program from spaghetti code to something useful. Sure, its nice to write unmaintainable junk when toying around, but I to have seen too many codebases where people were just throwing features in without thought and it causes the program to become way too constrained to only a specific problem domain and it becomes inflexible for solving new problems (to the point you have to re-write nearly everything from scratch).
Personally I'd much rather run that server-side. I use iTerm which has a lot of great features for session management, but I like being able to connect from any machine and keep the exact state I was in rather than having it tied to my local client.
Your stats are backwards. Motorists do not follow the law 95% of the time, it's more like 34% of the time. It's cyclists who follow the law 95% of the time.

> A new study from the Danish Road Directorate shows that less than 5% of cyclists break traffic laws while riding yet 66% of motorists do so when driving.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2019/05/10/cyclists...

Cyclists break the law to avoid being killed by law-breaking motorists who think they're the only people who belong on the road and refuse to share it. Oh and if you want to talk just traffic signals, 84% of cyclists stop at red lights. It's nowhere near your made up 95% figure and there's no data to support that number. It's just a myth drivers tell themselves to hate cyclists.

> “The popular press portrays bicyclists as reckless and a pervasive problem with potentially dire consequences,” said the trio, noting that other studies have shown that the “red-light running bicyclist angers drivers more than any other road user behavior.”

> (A Transport For London camera study of 7,500 cyclists at five junctions found in 2007 that, contrary to popular perception, most cyclists do not run reds: 84% of the cyclists stopped at red traffic lights.)

All I see is a video from after IFT-3 that parrots SpaceX's post-hoc rationalization about the fact that their craft could not reach orbital velocity. If you look at the GAO report on Artemis, one of the big issues they mentioned is that Starship has not proven that it can reach orbit, and SpaceX is very interested in making sure that the narrative is that it can and did. It was only after the fact that they said that the never intended to reach an orbital trajectory with IFT-3.

And actually, people rely on drag to deorbit huge objects in space in a controlled manner all the time. It's the preferred way to do it, and is basically the only way it's done - any satellite with fuel left will just stay in orbit. They have it down to a science. Usually they aim for the middle of an ocean. Sometimes they miss and chunks fall in a backyard.

No, Rust does not allow safe conversions from integers to function pointers. The code `main as usize as fn()` will result in a "non-primitive cast" error. In order to convert from an integer or raw pointer to a function pointer, the unsafe function `std::mem::transmute` must be used.
