You want to fund a new American semiconductor manufacturer from scratch?

Management and culture problems will always be endemic in large companies. There is no company with 50k+ employees that does not have serious inefficiencies. Intel has not performed nearly as well as it "should" have, but it's not exactly on its deathbed either.

Intel has a lot of options available to it. It also has a lot of smart people. It would be a good thing for everyone if Intel were to find a way to succeed more, and I think in the long run it eventually will.

The Nvidia 4090 indeed has 128 SMs, but the formula you provided (128 SMs = 4x128=512 SMSPs) isn't quite accurate. Each SM contains 64 CUDA cores (not SMSPs), and these are the units responsible for executing the instructions from different warps. The term "SMSP" isn't typically used to describe CUDA cores or warps in Nvidia’s architecture.
Exactly. Whoever is down voting here is denying reality.
general every day people will have to figure out that photoshop exists and that it contains AI now that can invent pictures from scratch. It should be easy to figure out, just explain that it can paint 100% realistically like a camera. The real issue is how people will start using this as a defense for criminal acts. "it wasn't me, all the camera footage is AI generated"

If you can beat the best solvers out there by a significant margin, I would say it's worth 10's of thousands a year. Speed is one aspect of it, but it could also be you are able to solve problems other solvers cannot solve. Depending on which companies you are targeting, I would not necessarily recommend going the route where the user upload their data to you and you solve it for them as many companies cannot legally share their clients' data (which is often part of the optimization). You can package the software into a linux/windows executable and sell it at a yearly subscription. It's worth noting that there are companies that will not be able to switch easily as they build all of their models around a specific solver API (say gurobipy)
And also if I recall correctly you could raise the rent past all reasonable limits and collect evil points and degrade the health of the cities. But that was probably Fable 3 and/or 2. In 3, you also got to play as king in the court, after usurping the evil brother, and had to make evil decisions if you were poor enough, to prepare for that darkness thing in the desert. Contrasting with the authoritarian rule of the brother who was sort of just preparing for the bigger threat no one knew about.

That’s a pretty funny progression, from quests and arbitrage between traders in Fable 1, to a bigger focus on being a landlord than earlier in fable 2, then just straight up being a king in fable 3. Industralism progressing in the background of the three as well to full on childworker factories in fable 3 with Reaver if i recall correctly being the tycoon.
What licensing rights was EA paying FIFA for exactly? FIFA just owns Worldcup brand, correct? so EA has to make deals with top leagues like EPL/La liga to use player/team logos etc?
Didn't even think of that, I'm sure somebody has already had the idea of monetizing that, you could harvest the voices of millions of people and once that happens it will be on the dark web in the next breach and facilitate massive bank fraud.

I am absolutely using .NET as a solo dev on a very large project, and I have the same question. To me, it's the most vanilla language/framework/IDE combination. Modern .NET is difficult to trash or praise, because of that, no one talks about it.

The base model Cayenne takes almost 6 seconds to get to 60mph when floored. That’s not particularly fast, even by family SUV standards, it’s comparable to a Honda Passport, and slower than SUVs from Audi, BMW, and Ford, and quite a few others. The Cayenne is an SUV in the first place. What exactly is a publicly available SUV if not a general purpose family commuter car? One of my friends bought a Cayenne to shuttle his kids to school and soccer practice. Porsche absolutely does make a general purpose commuter/family car, and you named it.

Porsche may well care often about high performance, I’m not disputing that at all. The problem with your repeated statement is claiming they don’t care about fuel efficiency. That’s not what “efficiency” means. They absolutely can get more power out of an engine and sacrifice fuel efficiency, and some of their models do, but if the intent of the 6-stroke design is “efficiency”, then by definition they care about fuel efficiency. Whether they use that to achieve higher power, or lower fuel consumption relative to some other car is irrelevant to what is meant by efficiency. Also you’re just assuming that their 6-stroke design is intended for high performance. You might be right, but there are other possibilities you’ve ignored or haven’t thought of.
Has nothing to do with Musk. The issue with Saudis in Twitter predates him
sure but in some of the cases we were scaling products to millions of users. And it would work great but don't expect engineers to create good UI/UX paying attention to the "small" details. That won't happen naturally.

Branch and bound is all about changing the bounds on a given fractional variable and resolving. It wasn't clear whether you could re-start from the previous solution with the new bound and quickly reoptimize.
Yeah. My dad wouldn't make reservations online.

But this is almost certainly less and less common over time at least in the West.
This is a very very old opinion, and not true for years.
The best UI is no UI. Anyone who tries to design for increased engagement isn't who you're looking for.

I'd look to study lots of internal tools that don't get marketed or outside influences. That would be interesting to find out. Where's the crossover from just enough resources to make it exist and enough resources to leave it as "finished"
You’re basically enabling for these shitty variants of voice control software to exist. Html, css and js allow dor more granularity in how ui works, but using them this way is just absurd.
Migrating out of this mess caused me downtime.

Squarespace's domain panel crashed with a nondescript error when I tried to update nameservers prior to transferring out, and they shut off the Google nameservers as soon as the transfer went through on their side. To add insult to injury, Squarespace makes you wait 5 days for a transfer, with no way to expedite -- and in my case, they waited 6 days, taking me offline on a Friday night. This was the worst experience I've ever had using a domain service.

1) I'm a rebel

2) I am irritated by deliberate obfuscations of public data, especially by a source that I suspect is corrupt. Although my extensive analysis has not yet revealed any significant pattern anomalies in their numbers.

3) It's kind of my re-intro into python, which I never made significant progress in but always wanted to.

4) It's literally the real history of all winning numbers since inception. Individuals may have various reasons for accessing this data, but I've been using it to test for manipulation. I presume for most folks it would be curiosity, or gambler's fallacy type stuff. Regardless, it shouldn't be obfuscated.

FIFA wanted $150 million per year. That's on top of all the money EA has to spend licensing with all the various clubs which gives them access to their brands, players, etc.

It was money exclusively going to FIFA for the name FIFA, and with it a whole host of restrictions as the article mentions, but also some suspect some that the article doesn't mention.

The only anxiety here is that this is EA's biggest cash cow. It brings in literal billions in revenue. It's their consistent money maker that gets them through dry economic seasons and lets them front cash on more experimental titles.

Ultimately all they had to do to succeed was bring in the same revenue as last year - $150 million and it's a success financial, but instead they threw the money they would have thrown at FIFA towards marketing and got a bigger bang for their buck.

The article mentions single digit revenue increases; that may seem small, until we remember that 5% of 2 billion USD is $100m.

Porsche can get more power without higher efficiency. That they’re choosing efficiency means they’re looking for higher power with lower fuel consumption. How they choose to use that efficiency is their business, I’m just pointing out that they do, in fact, care about fuel consumption, and claiming otherwise just because they sell high performance cars, is incorrect.
The good use of time is that OP learned that labels should wrap their inputs, so the next 10,000 times they write a control on a form, they'll just do it off the bat.

That this post has 800 upvotes is just a reminder of the caliber of UI/UX experience the average HNer has, especially when you see them disparage UI development as something unworthy of their time / expertise.

EA still had to make deals with each club individually to use their brand and likeness.

This deal was to use World Cup and to call their game "FIFA" as in "FIFA 23".

"Nobody has delivered better ...." is not a reason to be less negative towards Musk. Because somebody manages to do a quality-but-fundamentally-problematic job on satellite internet, a generally OK but quality-plagued job on EVs and a basically useless job on autonomous driving that nobody wanted does not mean they are exempt from criticism or griping.

It is extremely American to use commerce for political ends.

Boycotting people with political views you find problematic is as American as apple pie (and actually, maybe more so). The right and the left do it, and have done for ages.

His hype was well-tolerated by the people you read and listen to, perhaps, but in the stuff I read he's been criticized for more than a decade for his empty bullshit. Tesla also lots of issues with their cars, more than most other EV makes, but it is true that they do have more time in the market and have done some cool stuff.
Eliminating “friction” is a huge part of maximizing conversion and retention, both of which are important metrics for early stage startups. It’s only once you achieve significant momentum that you can afford to let these types of UX annoyances slide. The risk is that once you do that, the normalization of deviance makes your product end up like Jira.

I really wish we had something resembling a "native" UI toolkit, but for the web. Just throw together a couple <button>s or <input type=checkbox>es with absolutely zero additional JS/CSS, but have it actually look & work moderately decent, the way SwiftUI does.

i strongly disagree that real creativity is created from nothing. i agree that pure remixing is not very creative, but there is more between remixing and creating from nothing.
in fact creating from nothing is almost impossible. every creative act is built on something. denying that is rejecting almost every creative work out there.
for the majority of works you will be able to find a previous work that it is built upon.
even a sculpture made from a rock or piece of wood that is inspired from the shape of the material is not created from nothing.

When I graduated from school, I attended Intel's hiring event. It was a strange experience, they had a focus on meaningless behavior questions.

Later, I joined a different company. I had interviewed many from Intel and Apple. Intel engineers were apparently worse than those came from Apple on average.

For these reasons, I dare not touch Intel's stock.
Israel is ultimately unimportant to every other country in the world, and the argument that they contribute anything to regional stability is rather laughable. What is important is that we contribute to the defence of our allies, but they are an incredibly low quality ally. Regional stability is arguably a lot more important to Saudi Arabia (a country that has never tried to sink any US navy ships I might add).
To be fair, that was an argument that was put forth by carriers years ago (at least in Canada). That said, I don't think it has popped up as much (or at all) in recent years.
> Open source is basically non-existent.

I think he meant that open source third party add-on packages for .NET were basically non-existent. Not .NET itself. Your "_almost_" qualification has me concerned. Over the decades I've almost been fooled many times by Microsoft's claims of being open and/or interoperable only to find out that it's "almost".
Not everything that’s been permanently lost is bad, that’s just the nature of our reality. This too shall pass.

It's not about how nice the UI is is, but rather how responsive it is and if it's providing your users with enough feedback.

If it's not, it will lead to your users being confused and/or frustrated which will lead to them looking for an alternative tool.

If you're product is the only one in town, then they're just left to deal with it until a competitor pops up with a better (whether real or perceived) UI.

The article blames the anti-car agenda on slowing drivers and emergency responders as well. No, the problem is the anti-car agenda isn’t strong enough. People are driving more than ever, making traffic worse. Yet, driving is still so convenient that people choose it over public transportation and other options, clogging up the streets.

We need to discourage driving so much, and invest in public transportation enough, that people actually stop choosing to drive. Ambulances being able to respond quickly will be just one of the many benefits of such a policy. Also, I bet with more people walking and biking instead of driving, they’ll get more exercise and fewer heart attacks. Less air pollution will probably reduce heart disease as well. It’s all the same problem.

So we have the three spatial dimensions, + time as 4. dimensions and at any of those 4-part coordinates there are additional properties like mass/spin/etc., some of much always come together or at least strongely correlate, and those values not being zero means there is a particle there and every value corresponds to a certain „field“ and it not being zero means the field is excited?

I had suspected you’re are suspicious of manipulation. I have heard many rumors of lottery corruption and manipulation.

It’s certainly a big red flag if they are deliberately obstructing access to the data.

Make sense your project and I’d probably take 30 mins to look at the data if I came across it. I’m somewhat decent at data and number analysis so if there is something and enough people can easily take a look at it, then it might get exposed.

Interesting and good luck.
> arrays at the top level are probably a bad idea for protocols that need to evolve in a backward-compatible way

Depends on the protocol. It might be preferable to version the end point. Or if it’s a specific function, eg list-synonyms” then having a dictionary just to reference an array could be argued as unnecessary protocol bloat. Particularly given the aim of this exercise is readability.

> what do you mean about heavily nested data? do the other formats i linked do a better job there?

I mean a tree like structure.

JSON and YAML are probably the best in class here. XML, for all of its warts, is good at handling nested data in a readable way too.

TOML was more based around a flatter structure.

> i'm not sure it's possible to come up with a data format that will work well for such a wide range of use cases,

It’s not. The moment that happens, that format then becomes unwieldy and people then feel the urge to invent yet another new format to simplify things. It’s a vicious circle that happens over and over again in the tech sector.
So what? What’s missing is why I should care and what difference this makes to anyone other than the author.
To be fair I wasn't agreeing with the "API in 20 minutes approach" I was only pointing out the contrast between that and something like this.

As I tried to allude too, AI written APIs often have security, performance, maintainability and a whole slew of other issues.

But at the same time, I think "blank video on your phone for 20 minutes" is a bit of a stretch. These AI generated APIs have problems for certain but they are working software and in many cases better working software than a non-coder or junior engineer could have written in a much longer time.

And while I don't like the idea of tons of insecure poorly architected APIs being out there, the realty is, people are using AI generated APIs in the real-world right now, it's not hypothetical.
