Some internet searching suggests fares account for between 25 and 33 percent of the MTA’s revenue. There’s no way the infrastructure for collecting fares costs that much.

This is one of the main criticisms of free fares: in reality the revenue stream from fares is never actually fully replaced, so it just results in the transit agency becoming underfunded. This makes transit worse for existing users who are already paying. The new users you get because of free fares are mostly casual users like tourists who have alternate options, so serving them isn’t that useful and not worth the negative impact on existing users.

This is a powerful insight into the hidden challenges of scaling a company. I totally agree that leaders must actively manage and oversee these "Dirty Webs" to prevent them from becoming overwhelming and damaging morale. Acting as a bottleneck not only keeps processes streamlined but also sets a strong cultural precedent that inefficiencies and unnecessary toil won’t be tolerated. Your examples of compliance and onboarding really highlight how easily things can spiral out of control without proper oversight. It’s crucial for leaders to stay involved in these areas, ensuring that tasks remain manageable and relevant. By doing so, they not only maintain control but also boost team morale and productivity. Great job breaking down the concept and emphasizing the importance of proactive leadership in handling these cross-functional, time-intensive tasks!
There are some (Alfred J. Kwak, obviously, which he very much enjoyed), but it's too soon for foreign language productions without dubs, and what quality Dutch stuff does exist is often hard to find. Often you'll be relegated to watching these on YouTube, cut up in several parts, placed there by novice 'archivists'. There one day, gone another.

I'd pay for a service which simply allowed me to stream anything broadcast in the Netherlands, but no such thing exists. Old stuff is too hard to licence, so they don't bother. Some pirate stuff exists, but it's harder than it should be.
I was using Avalonia.FuncUI. Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check out the Discord server and try it with C# too

575W TDP for the 5090. A buddy has 3x 4090 in a machine with a 32 core AMD cpu must be putting out close to 2000W of heat at peak if he switched to 5090. Uff
With a bit of luck it'll mean some of the Jetson series will get cheaper.

While I'm quite the "AI" sceptic I think it might be interesting to have a node in my home network capable of a bit of this and that in this area, some text-to-speech, speech-to-text, object identification, which to be decent needs a bit more than the usual IoT- and ESP-chips can manage.
MSRP went from 1959,- to 2369,-. That's quite the increase.
I really have no problem at all with site owners or operators deciding what content they do and don't want on their site when accepting third-party contributions, it's when the (US) government is involved in directing or influencing that censorship that it becomes a problematic "end run" around citizen's rights. The regulation needs to be directed at the government agencies who are secretly conducting public business through private channels and violating the rights of citizens through warrant-less monitoring, illegal censorship, and - though currently not illegal or otherwise proscribed, still very problematic - discourse shaping and propaganda spreading. A company spreading propaganda is advertisement, company censorship is curation, and a company spying is market research. A government doing the same things, whether using a "corporate condom" or not, is just propaganda, censorship, and spying, and taking advantage of private businesses to sidestep the Constitution should be dealt with in the harshest fashion if democracy and civil discourse are still valued by society.

The fire-breathing 120W Zen 5-powered flagship Ryzen AI Max+ 395 comes packing 16 CPU cores and 32 threads paired with 40 RDNA 3.5 (Radeon 8060S) integrated graphics cores (CUs), but perhaps more importantly, it supports up to 128GB of memory that is shared among the CPU, GPU, and XDNA 2 NPU AI engines. The memory can also be carved up to a distinct pool dedicated to the GPU only, thus delivering an astounding 256 GB/s of memory throughput that unlocks incredible performance in memory capacity-constrained AI workloads (details below). AMD says this delivers groundbreaking capabilities for thin-and-light laptops and mini workstations, particularly in AI workloads. The company also shared plenty of gaming and content creation benchmarks.

[...]

AMD also shared some rather impressive results showing a Llama 70B Nemotron LLM AI model running on both the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with 128GB of total system RAM (32GB for the CPU, 96GB allocated to the GPU) and a desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 with 24GB of VRAM (details of the setups in the slide below). AMD says the AI Max+ 395 delivers up to 2.2X the tokens/second performance of the desktop RTX 4090 card, but the company didn’t share time-to-first-token benchmarks.

Perhaps more importantly, AMD claims to do this at an 87% lower TDP than the 450W RTX 4090, with the AI Max+ running at a mere 55W. That implies that systems built on this platform will have exceptional power efficiency metrics in AI workloads.
Rabid fanboyism is solely on you, mate.

I've been running Linux exclusively since RedHat 5.0 (no, that's not RHEL, that's more than a decade earlier).

This entire article is 1000% true. Every word of it. You can "opine" and "disagree" with it as much as you want. It's become too damn popular in the western world lately to opine about anything.

Feel free to opine about gravity, just don't fall off the top of a 10-storey building.

BTW this is why the entire world is running "ad-ridden"/"privacy-invading" Windows.

People run it because

1. Windows doesn't get in the way and allows them to run their software.

2. Windows is rock stable and doesn't break randomly after every upgrade (sans occasional conflicts with third-party software here and there affecting ~0.05% of people).

3. Windows is simple.

Linux has no implied compatibility, it's full of regressions, it's complicated as hell and it still has poor HW support. Yes.
I don't agree with your last point. In a democracy, we have elections at a cadence. If you disagree with protest permits, you are welcome to stand up in the next election, or vote for a representative who will.

We can elections yearly or monthly but man .. how unproductive that would be. The lowered cost of tech may indeed improve participatory democracy.

I see the system working in all of this btw. I support Trudeau but am okay if the liberals get voted out.
It's not solely about currying favor. Many tech giants hate getting pushed around by politicians and courts around the world demanding censorship. Free speech rights in the US are much stronger than elsewhere in the world, and even businesses as large as Meta need political support to successfully push back on censorious overreach.

For context, in Germany you can face up to 3 years prison time for insulting a politician: https://www.dw.com/en/germany-greens-habeck-presses-charges-...
While that’s true of the outer communities (San Jose, etc) I took the OP’s message as referring to SF core/downtown which was already pretty developed by the 1950s. Unlike LA, SF was a major city far earlier.

I was just making fun of desperate engagement baiting Facebook short videos that of people just about to get kicked by a camel or whatever, looping right before whatever they're baiting actually happens.
Sadly, everyone is having to relearn from first principles why diversity is often not a strength. Social cohesion has value, and that value often eclipses an ideological need for diversity (read: we are all the same or equal).
A mature (and very effective) structural editor is the FLUID user-interface designer, part of the FLTK UI framework (C++). It outputs C++ and works very well.

I remember dismissing it as a toy back when starting to work professionally with FLTK. Soon I realised I was mistaken; it is excellent to create UI's with for C++/FLKT.
Careful. Trying to detach profitability from utility and necessity, nevermind any higher level ethical or philosophical questions, may get you strung up around here.
I think a more simple solution is to expose every person to let's say Matt Walsh, Tim Pool or Charlie Kirks explanation/opinion as well as Don Lemon, Destiny and Cenk Uyger and see where they land.

Yeah, Zuckerberg is bending the knee so he can stay out of negative news and keep his fortune.

Not really. He didn't bend the knee to Trump as much in the first term, and Trump remembered that: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/28/trump-zuckerberg-el...
This is chud world, and we’re in it now.
> It’s 3 extrapolated frames not interpolated. So would be reduced lag at the expense of greater pop-in.

it's certainly not reduced lag relative to native rendering. It might be reduced relative to dlss3 frame gen though.
In case you're curious, I googled. It runs this thing called "DGX OS":

"DGX OS 6 Features The following are the key features of DGX OS Release 6:

Based on Ubuntu 22.04 with the latest long-term Linux kernel version 5.15 for the recent hardware and security updates and updates to software packages, such as Python and GCC.

Includes the NVIDIA-optimized Linux kernel, which supports GPU Direct Storage (GDS) without additional patches.

Provides access to all NVIDIA GPU driver branches and CUDA toolkit versions.

Uses the Ubuntu OFED by default with the option to install NVIDIA OFED for additional features.

Supports Secure Boot (requires Ubuntu OFED).

Supports DGX H100/H200."

I couldn't agree more. Truth is, the advances in technology have made it easier for the truth to be revealed. Imagine if the recent events in the last ten or so years were not caught on smartphones and other devices. I feel as if the narrative they would have attempted to sell us would be quite different. This is apparent so many times in recent history as the news spins one story, and someone recording with a phone clearly shows another.
Pretty interesting watching their tech explainers on YouTube about the changes in their AI solutions. Apparently they switched from CNNs to transformers for upscaling (with ray tracing support) if I understood correctly though for frame generation makes even more sense to me.

32 GB VRAM on the highest end GPU seems almost small after running LLMs with 128 GB RAM on the M3 Max, but the speed will most likely more than make up for it. I do wonder when we’ll see bigger jumps in VRAM though, now that the need for running multiple AI models at once seems like a realistic use case (their tech explainers also mentions they already do this for games).
Naomi Klein recently said "conspiracy theorists ‘get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right’" and this is how I think a lot of way too online people are. They've correctly judged that the mainstream news is biased or flat out manufacturing consent such as the lead up to the Iraq war. However instead of seeking out actual truth or just better sources of news in response to this, they seek out what makes them feel good and correct in their assumptions. Honestly its the same behavior you see in older people that are "set in their ways" - new evidence and objective truth be damned.
Anecdotally I've found that almost all alcohol-free cocktails on the menu are priced the same as regular version cocktails; like $15-$20! In Canada, at least, I believe there are licensing and taxes that contribute to the price of alcoholic beverages, so I don't understand why an alcohol-free cocktail should cost anywhere close to the regular drink.
Microsoft Bitcoin Strategy by Michael Saylor [pdf]
I would have to disagree a little. I think what were seeing is the true nature of some of these issues where you have a case where both sides are right and wrong at the same time and it really just depends on your perspective.

Take a conflict, any conflict. In most cases you can go to both sides and ask why they are fighting the other side and they will give you a coherent response. In some cases it's easy to judge right and wrong but in other cases it becomes murkier. This applies not just to war but to all social conflicts and issues like healthcare, abortion, immigration, so on and so forth.

Now what has happened previously is because media was essentially a monopoly of a few, outlets would take what happened and re-package that into something that typically stood in line with our western values, and that's how roughly everyone was on the same page, we were just being fed roughly the same story we all believed was happening and it was very hard to prove otherwise what happened.

Fast forward to now and that monopoly is long gone. Now we get the full unfiltered picture from independent media sources and increasingly just social media from ordinary people on the ground. The full idea doesn't have a concept of right and wrong, both sides of are right and both sides are wrong, just depends on your own personal worldview. This results in people drifting one way or the other depending on their personal beliefs and is a complete fragmentation compared to what we had before.
„We have always been at war with Oceania“.

Facts and their representation has been changed by governments since time immemorial. The internet probably made us much better in sporting it so we became a bit paranoid.
These sorts of power discussions require a certain amount of grace, unless you're really just super, super excited to read several paragraphs of intensely mathematical caveats, not just from the first poster, but from every poster in such a thread. There is a reasonable sense in which we can say with a straight face that humans are more powerful than finite state machines, even though in principle a human's entire life, all possible choices and all possible outcomes, could be encoded into some hypothetical state machine. If you want the really good philosophical bones, consult https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/philos.pdf . Such a hypothetical state machine would require an exponential amount of power to construct (and given the sizes in question, we need not even specify what we mean by "power" since it's exponential in energy, exponential in mass, exponential in "math elements", it'll catch up to you no matter what you're tracking in), whereas we can say with a straight face that a human can increment and decrement a parenthesis count fairly trivially to a high degree (even if there may be error) whereas a finite state machine must give up at some point at some finite depth, and moreover, as you add depth to the state machine it rapidly expands in size whereas the parentheses counter is only tracking an int, which is growing at most log on the number of parenthesis count and thus often reasonably treated as constant for any reasonable problem size.
Could be an exit strategy… maybe he’s tired of running a social network and wants to help run governments and fly to space like the other guys.
They already fund it via gas tax, registration fees, regular taxes. Let the public transit takers fund their own improvements.

It starts to make more sense when you think about who is arm in arm with the president elect. I don't know that Musk believes his philosophy is wrong and now he has the power to pressure others.
An AI That Lives In a Monetized Banner Ad
Debanking someone in our current society is the most abusive things they could have done. It prevented people from accessing and using their own money in an era that is almost cashless. It effectively starved people out and left them trapped. It is so excessively overboard, yet there are those here who will defend it because it happened to those not on their side. When the government changes and it is used against them they will shout and holler with surprise. I'll never understand how people don't see how something that you allow the government to do to others will eventually be used against you too. It's only happened every goddamn time throughout history.
The 4080 was also quite the bad value compared to the much better 4090. That remains to be seen for the 5000 series.
Will this totally end content moderation? That could be a small silver lining, as content moderation for FB appears to be extremely hazardous to one's mental health:

https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/22/business/facebook-content-mod...
As a leftist, while this is concerning, it's also important to remember that Meta censors left content as much as it does right content.

So, while this announcement certainly seems to be in bad faith (what could Mark mean by "gender" other than transphobic discussion?), this should be a boon both for far-right and left discussion.

Does that mean increased polarization and political violence? Surely, surely.
First consumer 4K monitors came out more than a decade ago. I think the Asus PQ321 in 2013. That’s close to where we are now with 8K.

How many of the cards of that time would you call “4K cards”? Even the Titan X that came a couple of years later doesn’t really cut it.

There’s such a thing as being too early to the game.
Carbohydrates are not biologically required in the diet.
I have a feeling regular consumers will have trouble buying 5090s.

RTX 5090: 32 GB GDDR7, ~1.8 TB/s bandwidth.
H100 (SXM5): 80 GB HBM3, ~3+ TB/s bandwidth.

RTX 5090: ~318 TFLOPS in ray tracing, ~3,352 AI TOPS.
H100: Optimized for matrix and tensor computations, with ~1,000 TFLOPS for AI workloads (using Tensor Cores).

RTX 5090: 575W, higher for enthusiast-class performance.
H100 (PCIe): 350W, efficient for data centers.

RTX 5090: Expected MSRP ~$2,000 (consumer pricing).
H100: Pricing starts at ~$15,000–$30,000+ per unit.
I use meta products, it’s anecdotal but they’re dead. At least they seem very stagnant. This is appeasing the new establishment and hoping for more engagement ?
FYI Meta just removed Nick Clegg as their global head of policy and replaced him with Joel Kaplan, who was Trump's deputy chief of staff.

They also appointed Dana White, a prominent Trump supporter, to their board this week.

Their content moderation team is moving from California to Texas.

If people think all this is Meta going "neutral", you are delusional.
Do you really think that Europe cannot defend itself against Russia, a country with a GDP less than that of only Italy, whose military is currently so destroyed that it relies on North Korea to defend its own borders?

Under Trump, I believe it is already priced-in that he would do nothing to uphold his NATO obligations. That ship has already sailed in sober-minded circles.
Imagine a world where anybody can gestate a baby in a tank. It would be a boon to older couples, same sex couples, and many others.

What happens to the inevitable baby who's parent's die before they can be decanted? They will stack up over time since who wants someone else's baby when you can get your own so easily.

This will also be abused by some jacka## like Musk who wants to build a labor force for something distasteful. Imagine a Mars colonization effort with exclusively young people who were raised in a sealed environment and don't know anything that was not fed to them.
> but I do wonder how much fundamental rasterisation + shaders performance gain there is in this generation in practice on the majority of actual games.

I have experience migrating to modern frameworks like vue.js 3 and Next.js/React.js, and I enjoy mentoring, sharing knowledge, and contributing to open-source to stay current with industry trends.
Ah, I forgot about -fexceptions, Thanks. Though I need to point out it's non-default and rarely used, and in particular:

> some C libraries need to enable it anyway if they want to interact with C++ exceptions this way. For example C++ requires that qsort and bsearch propagate the exception thrown by the comparison callback normally

-fexceptions is not needed for this, C++ exceptions will just transparently bubble through C functions without its use.

I don't think I know of any project using -fexceptions… time to google…
> Starting in the US, we are ending our third party fact-checking program and moving to a Community Notes model.

The Community Notes model works great on X at dealing with misinformation. More broadly, this is a vindication of the principle that putatively neutral "expert" institutions cannot be trusted unless they're subject to democratic checks and balances.

It's been a few years since I worked at [big tech retailer], but 8K TVs basically didn't sell at the time. There was basically no native content - even the demos were upscaled 4K - and it was very hard to tell the difference between the two unless you were so close to the screen that you couldn't see the whole thing. For the content that was available, either you were dealing with heavy compression or setting up a high-capacity server, since file sizes basically necessitated most of the space on what people would consider a normal-sized hard drive to store just a few movies.

The value just wasn't there and probably won't ever be for most use cases. XR equipment might be an exception, video editing another.
