In addition to the GPUs (which they invented) that Nvidia designs and manufactures for gaming, cryptocurrency mining, and other professional applications, the company also creates chip systems for use in vehicles, robotics, and other tools.
Yikes! If so, he could have saved a lotta money by purchasing 4090s instead of spot pricing. Last time I did the math, break even between buying and renting was only 3 months. I wonder if the search took a lot longer than he anticipated

For example, islamistic propaganda. It's a serious problem, at least here in Europe. You literally see 10-year-olds watching videos of beheadings in the subway.

Oh, and I wouldn't say that FB is much better. The EU should probably ban both.

Weather prediction isn't just about "should I have a picnic today". Accurate weater information is important for innumerable economic activites, from farming to shipping to contruction to power generation planning. Providing better forecasts would allow us to save lives and money in these industries and this will reduce the costs you pay for goods. It might even save the life of someone you love.

There are 3 new GPS satellites being launched by the US in 2025. Satellites do regularly need to be replaced; fuel runs out, batteries die or there os damage or failure. We also are developing newer and better satellites.

Satellite based internet is currently going through a revolution that is bringing internet access and economic opportunity to isolated small communities all over the world. This is a great example of new deployment that simply wasn't economically feasible with pre-SpaceX launch prices. This technology has so many potential positive impacts that it alone should justify reusable rockets. This is another application that could save the life of someone you love (better acess to emergency services in remote locations or deadzones).

Another incredibly valuable satellite industry is satelite based imaging. Timely, high precision satellite imagery is currently very expensive. Significant drops in the price would enable a unimaginable plethora of usec ases. Better wildfire monitoring, more efficient farming and ranching, search and rescue, etc.

On top of all this, starship development is actually comparatively cheap compared to how valuable space is. Losing GPS would cost the US alone 1 billion dollars a day which is why the US is planning on spending 2 billion building a backup. Starship RnD costs are estimated to somewhere near 10 billion total spread out over a decade or two.

For further comparison, I'll also note that the 2024 US presidential election cost us more 50% more than that. The entire space industry is worth about as much as the entire semiconductors industry (~600 billion) and McKinsie estimated that to triple in the next 10 years.

Finally, I'll say that what I've listed is the merest drop in the bucket compared to the uses we haven't figured out yet because space launch was so expensive.

An second order of magnitude drop in launch costs on top of the ond SpaceX has already delivered would be a big boost the the global economy in many ways, including some that are hard to predict on advance. If SpaceX can deliver a third order of magnitude drop beyond that (which has been claimed as possible with Starship) then the results would be staggering, completely transforming how we view and use space economically and enabling completely new types of space exploration missions.

The biggest problem right now is that nobody else is keeping up with SpaceX. We need more companies doing the same thing SpaceX is.
Sorry, I have no idea if this is true. I was just pointing out what the GP was trying to claim.
Amen. I fully agree with what you've said.
Everything you say is true. However it's bizarre for me to read you lamenting as if this election somehow had any bearing on that trajectory.

Under a continued Biden regime or a renovated Harris regime the climatic trajectory was similarly in overshoot. Like if you pay attention to what scientists, or even just general NGO representatives are saying... You should know that we are far off the rails.

Id encourage you to read the world meteorological organization's report from just last week; we are no where near what is manageable for a stable and prosperous future for our descendants. The climate has absolutely destabilized and we now have left a dismal future laced with intermittent catastrophe. Our generations greed and myopia means we have also left a momentous task to our descendants who might seek to try and restore the planet to equilibrium. Trump or Harris at the helm --it makes no difference-- the ship is going down.

Future generations will inherit a ruined biosphere, food insecurity, resource wars, etc. Humand can obviously mitigate tha somewhat but there's not a single political entity in the US or perhaps even the West as a whole that is currently engaged in doing so.
The SNES architecture looks pretty similar to the NES architecture in a lot of ways. It might have been possible to make it work, if it was a design goal. The PPUs are similar, the CPU has a compatability mode for the NES CPU, the controller bus is the same with a different connector.

Sega does what Nintendon't, and their 16-bit system was backwards compatible with (one of their) 8-bit systems, if you got the adapter that adapts the slot and includes a boot rom.

Apple also did it; the 16-bit Apple IIgs used more or less the same CPU as the SNES, and used the CPU compat mode to run regular Apple II software.

No, the problem is the medias (and campaign strategists) didn’t even try to communicate on these policies, and again thought social progressivism alone would do. That worked for a time in the early 2010s but they have yet to realize that when there are economic troubles it’s not enough to win elections, as this vote demographics show. No need to insult the intellectual capacity of the other camp.

SO THIS! it's not about data protection, it's about the platform allowing misinformation and hate speech to thrive there. i've reported hundreds of videos, comments, and accounts - TikTok said they don't violate the community standards. the worst was yesterday - someone commented he was sad Hitler failed on a TikTok video about the Israeli hostages held by Hamas - and TikTok, after 30 minutes, said this doesn't violate community standards.

before anyone says "free speech" - views or comments that are not aligned with the CCP and its allies get taken down when reported. several of mine were taken down.

i owe the rising antisemitism among young people to TikTok and its lack of action towards misinformation and hate speech.

That is just factually wrong: "Blinder and Watson found that since 1945 the average inflation rate was higher under Republican presidents than under Democrats". Wages are also higher under Dems.
Left in the sense that Germans were allowed to govern themselves. Whereas countries reconquered by Russia were ruled by local cronies whose loyalty was to Moscow as much as to their home country. And, if those guys tried getting some independent ideas, Russian tanks rolled in to remove them from power (Budapest 1956, Prague 1968).
Unlike the cache line size that is known, you cannot predict how the DRAM address bits are mapped to CPU or GPU addresses and which is the page size of the DIMMs that happen to be used.

Matching the DRAM characteristics influences much less the performance of a linear algebra algorithm than matching the cache line size and the sizes of the L1 and L2 cache memories.

If you really want to tune an algorithm for the maximum performance that can be achieved on a particular computer, you must use an automatic tuning method, which runs benchmarks of that algorithm varying all matrix layout parameters until finding optimum values. An example of how this is done is provided by the ATLAS library that implements the BLAS API.

Such a library tuned for a given computer should be then used only for that computer.

CDK is an abomination and I'm not sure why AWS is pushing it now. A few years ago all their Quick Starts were written in CloudFormation, now it's CDK that compiles to CloudFormation. Truly a bad idea.

Just write CloudFormation directly. Once you get the hang of the declarative style and become aware of the small gotchas, it's pretty comfy.

Ah, interesting and disappointing. I've been looking for more memory bandwidth. The M4 max is tempting, even if only half the bandwidth is available to the CPUs. I was also looking at the low end epyc, like the Epyc Turin 9115 (12 channel) or Siena 8124P (6 channel). Both in the $650-$750 range, but it's frustratingly hard to figure out what they are actually capable of.

I do look forward to the AMD Strix Halo (256 bit x 8533 MHz).

Right! :) But also consider the fact that you should be thankful that you live in a society where you don't have to be productive 100% of your time.
Banning those over 60 is a funny jab against an older generation who are susceptible to conspiracy theories and who are not media smart. They have lots of trouble differentiating sound and noise. I doubt this person was serious. Nevertheless, it was funny.
You don't even need it most of the time. Almost every country will just accept a driver's license from most other countries as long as it's fairly standard and has a section in English. I've driven in dozens of countries with my local driver's license.

Any comments how legit something like Whole Foods bans are effective?

I agree. Curtis consistently makes films that are a lot more about opinion and interpretation than anything else. He is not bad with facts, but he does have a tendency to present the viewer with an avalanche of data points... only to later express what is basically his opinion, often not even directly linked to the facts that have just been presented.

With that in mind, I still find his opinions interesting, original and provocative. Also, his films have some of the coolest imagery ever — if I recall correctly he used to work at the BBC, dealing with their archives.

Tell this to everyone upthread saying democrats need to meet the voters where they are.
I don't think I've lied about anything.

“The central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed,” reads the report. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.” ... lying about having evidence of voter fraud to the public, repeatedly, then inviting supporters to the ellipse with "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!", telling the crowd that they need to "fight like hell" otherwise they were "not going to have a country anymore" (yes, the refrain of his apologists is that he also the word peacefully, but that was an outlier in the hours of speeches given that day), and inviting the crowd to march to the capitol with him (though he stayed at the White House), followed by a complete dereliction of duty to intervene, and more tellingly, instead calling senators. There's a lot more.

"I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote,". Like many things he says, he is really unclear on exactly what he means, but he did literally say "you don't have to vote again".

“I have this piece of glass here,” Trump said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news, right? And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much,” Trump said. “I don’t mind. I don’t mind.”

> Preserving contracts has a significant cost.

Not really. You just need to break out a new version when you put out a breaking change. This can mean anything between duplicating the code that implements your interface to then apply a change and checking a version flag when invoking an operation to determine which version to run.

Do you struggle to not break your code? To me it's like the main responsibility of any developer, isn't it?

> Why would you try to preserve contracts if you're in fact in control of all producers and consumers?

Because you clearly aren't in control, if you feel compelled to dump anything and everything in the same repository to try to prevent things from breaking.

Also, as others have pointed out, storing code in the same repository gives you no assurance that all your services will be deployed at the same exact moment in time. Consider for example multi-region deployments, or even deployments to multiple availability zones. Those aren't atomic. Why does anyone believe that storing all code in the same repository is enough to make these operations atomic?
if there are 100 shares in a company, but 2 people own them. person1 has 99 shares. person2 has 1 share. person1 sells their share for $100 to person3.

Does that mean the market cap is worth $10k? yes. is that meaningful if there are no other buyers at $100? no.
Yes it can be both. Schedule the debates on the weekend so "nobody" would watch (thus people who didn't know about him wouldn't learn about him), and ask unfair questions that painted Sanders in a bad light (targeting people who already knew about him and did watch because they wanted to learn more).

She did more too, like convincing much of the media not to talk him. It was quite obvious when so many shows covered the polls, including people polling in single digits, but didn't mention Sanders.

> The reality is that none of her actions caused Clinton to get more than 3 million more votes than Sanders.

There's no way to know how many votes he would have gotten in a fair contest.
And also highlights a meaningful irrelevance.

The idea that clearer titles are just babying some class of people is perverse.

Titles are the foremost means of deciding what to read, for anyone of any sophistication. Clearer titles benefit everyone.

The subject matter is meaningful to more than AWS users, but non-AWS users are going to be less likely to read it based on the title.
Your lack of identifying with a “victim mentality” might also have something to do with the fact that blindness and its associated challenges have a lot more to do with the fact that you cannot see, due to whatever part of your vision failed to develop, and is not an active, maintained bigotry on the part of larger society. That’s not to say society can’t be an asshole to you too: I’m familiar with the challenges around visual accessibility and of course, as any differently-abled individual will corroborate, the only way you will get any assistance is with the forceful application of the state because otherwise no one will bother.

That being said, this is a classic example of crab bucketing. I am by no means saying that queer folks have it the worst everywhere: I’m saying that we have it bad, and we are frequently a bogeyman for the reactionary political project that’s the topic of this thread. And like, blindness certainly is a thing to contend with, but at least you don’t have a large segment of reactionary media saying that by virtue of being blind, you’re a child molester?
I have listened to a lot of Ezra Klein over the years- like, a LOT.

>designs the censorship of that platform to intentionally hurt nation state B by causing division amongst the citizens of nation state B

If the division is a result of the platform exposing people in that nation to information that they previously didn't have access to, due to the government censoring it, then it's absolutely a good thing for the people of the nation. The government of the nation state can get fucked when its interests go against the interests of its people. A divided people is a much better thing than a people united by ignorance and belief in falsehood.

> Timeline and Event Markers. The Steam Timeline appears whenever you’re actively recording. Timeline-enhanced games generate event markers as relevant game events happen. Steam achievements and screenshots automatically create markers as well.

It's wild that games have done so so so little to expose the game to the world, to offer APIs. It's been Steam and a couple other major top-down drivers of yore (achievements) pushing games to think beyond the scope of the game window. Remarkable to me how close-minded & slow games have been, that they have to be pushed, to making the game relevant and interesting & enageable broadly.

And a bit sad there aren't open protocols for games play with. It's various intermedies (each tied to their own marketplaces) or bust.

Still, love to see it. And there's already a strong community of folks re-inplenting Steam SDK (ex: nucleus coop) at least, which is great.
This has a first mover advantage and bound to eventually fail. They're taking advantage of the fact other companies still pay...better, and siphoning off the money.

When every company is put out by an 'economy of scale' type company with the same tactics, you end up with a lot of sellers and no more buyers.
Time will tell. You will see that it's not going to happen and realize how naive you were at some point. I promise you.
This has a ring of the same arguments made by flat Earthers. You could offer to take one to near space and show them things, but then every other one will stop believing that one person, so you're expected that unless you can take all of them to near space, you can't "prove" what you're trying to prove.

Your argument isn't far off from saying that Apple will collude with lots of security researchers, and because you're not invited to the party, nobody can prove that you're wrong. Oversimplification, yes, but basically true.

What matters is the people of the nation state, and censorship by their own government depriving them of information is absolutely hurting them. Government only censors people when uncensored information would cause their interests to conflict with those of the people in power.
