People tend to limit their usage when it's time-billed. You need some sort of desktop computer anyway, so, if you spend the 3K this one costs, you have unlimited time of Nvidia cloud software. When you need to run on bigger metal, then you pay $2/hour.
I would tend to agree, I mean, I had to eat a lot of healthy shit as a kid that I did not enjoy at all because my mum is a LSD, from the earth only, 60s era hippie. Healthy but not delicious. The other day I bought some packaged mac and cheese from the grocery store, it was on the big side but I didn't pay much attention, zoned out watching TV and ate the whole thing. After I was thinking, hmm, I don't feel well. Grabbed the mac and cheese box, I'd just consumed near 2k calories in a very manageable meal.
but, the video looks very promising indeed!
I don't think it's carbs as such necessarily, but the glycemic index of the foods and their addictive qualities - i.e. how easy it is to way overdo the glucose spiking.

Yes, if you cut the carbs the problem is solved, but there are different kinds of carbs and some kinds in moderation can be eaten regularly without causing big glucose spikes and metabolic disease.

Personally I go for low carb to make it easier, but I still eat limited fruit and starchy vegetables and rice and beans. (Some kinds of fruit do spike glucose and I need to be careful with.)
Thankfully I have a Chipotle 15 minutes away, but most of the other stuff is shit.
Yeah, let’s trust a deeply narcissistic felon and insurrectionist — who pressured at least one Secretary of State to “find him votes”[1] and even prepared a slate of false electors[2] to subvert the Electoral College — to investigate his own lost election. That will surely be fair and just!

The point wasn't supposed to be to raise more money, it was to decrease the amount of people using the roads. Taxing more would, if anything, incentivize people to use those parking spots to "get their money's worth." More realistically, it would not add a barrier to actually parking on a day-to-day basis. Making you think about and reconsider it every time you go to do it with the paywall is what they want (and what is arguably necessary in order to fix the underlying problem, unless those tax dollars are going to go towards multi-level parking garages that add spaces and not just the existing roads).
> I really don’t understand this “I don’t have a choice all fast food is bad” some are pretty healthy

I agree with you, but when you factor in cost, availability, familiarity, and other psychological factors, you end up with people instinctively choosing really unhealthy options.

There's an acculturation issue IMO. I grew up white trash, while my wife grew up wealthy in an Asian household. I cook lots of healthy food, and even wrote a nutrition app before they really existed and hosted it locally, tracked my food, have spent months where I cooked everything I ate from scratch so I knew there was no added salt (I've had hypertension since I was 16yo, even though I was an elite high school athlete with a six pack and everything).

Despite all this, when under time pressure, I will instinctively prep unhealthy food because that's what I was raised with. It's completely mindless. One less thing to stress about, pure muscle memory taking over.

EDIT: My wife, OTOH, will throw stuff together that is so insanely health and based on random vegetables lying around, because that's what she grew up learning to cook.

It's not even conscious. I don't want to prep that food. It just happens because the stress of devoting even one brain cell to planning something that I didn't spend nearly two decades surrounded by just adds to the stress, even after all the deprogramming I've done the two decades since.
Italy has the highest incidence of Celiac disease, so it isn't completely benign. But yeah, the portion sizes matter more.
GDDR7 apparently has the capability of 3gb per chip. As it becomes more available their could be more VRAM configurations. Some speculate maybe an RTX 5080 Super 24gb release next year. Wishful thinking perhaps.
> I'm not sure why people think fiber is great.

Fiber is good for me because it acts as a stool softener.

In my 40's, I had several bouts of diverticulitis. Hard stool may have been a contributing factor in developing the underlying issue, diverticulosis. I suspect more fiber would have made this less likely.

Later, due to the recurring diverticulitis, I had elective surgery to remove the problematic section of my colon. The surgeon cautioned me to ensure my stool stays soft, so that the place where he stitched my remaining colon back together are at lower risk of opening up. This is a long-term concern, so I'll be careful about it for the rest of my life.

Also, IIUC, straining to pass hard stool increases the risk of swollen hemorrhoids, which nobody enjoys.
> Fiber keeps you feeling satiated for longer.

Does this actually work for anyone? I eat these high fiber foods that get suggested and i never feel full for hours.

I feel that a lot of the "here's what LLMs can't do, and why humans are still king" posts are missing:

What kind of humans are we comparing LLMs against?

Junior devs? Intermediate devs? Senior devs? Experts?

I think few jr. devs would be able to apply the optimizations that were in the blog post. So maybe already LLMs are performing on a level that is beyond human jr. devs, and quickly catching up with the next tier.
Most of these are from the mainstream media. How about the truckers side of the story for each incident? For all you know it could be staged.

Didn't Nvidia piss of some of their board partners at some point. I think EVGA stopped making Nvidia based graphics cards because of poor behavior on Nvidia part?

Also aren't most of the business cards made by Nvidia directly... or at least Nvidia branded?
It's fairly niche here, but I would like to note that lofting can be more efficient than either a purely direct or ballistic trajectory -- one only needs consider the case of going higher in the atmosphere so as to have less air drag at extremely high velocities.
Can mean a higher speed, acceleration, and a longer range for the same payload.

In a sense, this is actually done with high velocity rocketry in general. Often most launch profiles involve a steep ascent before smoothing it out into a softer turn.
Advocates did worry that reducing it from $15 to $9 would create a sort of "no-mans land" — not quite high enough to deter traffic but high enough to annoy people. I'm not sure how to reconcile the significant drop in the bridge and tunnel commute times with the apparent non-effect on commute times within the congestion relief zone.
Obligatory plug for the great Heinz Stücke.

He decided at the age of 22 to quit his job and ride his bike around the world.

...and then basically never really stopped (I think he may have been forced to retire recently but the chap's 84 now so we can cut him some slack).

There's a good documentary about him called "The Man Who Wanted to See It All".

I am not all that bothered by the stick of butter as the meal is actually satiating and the calories consumed will remain within the calories I need to be consuming. Besides, most of it gets drained off anyway. The 1,000 calorie fast food meals that leave you still hungry afterward are troubling, though.
There's truth here, and, as I understand it, carbs with high glycemic index do have the effect of blood glucose and then insulin spikes which cause metabolic disease and lead to diabetes which is the primary thing that's deadly here.
Show HN: Tramway SDK – An unholy union between Half-Life and Morrowind engines
Hello everyone, I would like to see if there is any interest in this little project that I have been working on for the past few years.

Could be relevant, seeing the direction in which the mainstream game engines are going.

I didn't really like any of the already existing options, so I tried to make my own and it turned out to be easier than expected.

It's sort of like a low-budget Unreal/Source, but with open-world streaming support and it is free and open source. Very old-school. But optimized for more modern hardware. Very fast too.

Still not production ready, but it seems like it is mostly working.

I want to finish a few larger projects with it to see what happens.

Btw, the name is probably temporary.
All it takes is one of your kids complaining to land you in prison (after the forged signature is verified). Seems like a really poor value proposition if you’re voting differently from your kids/friend/etc.
Short of a kegeraror, one can develop a taste for tea or black coffee. As long as you don't put anything in it, it's basically zero calorie and trivial to prepare.
I mean… yeah; I think we agree there. That’s kinda my point: people here whom I know to claim New York City is the greatest city in the world don’t actually know a lot about the world.
mistakes of the past usually just get repeated, instead of being learnt from. Buy maybe further down the road an AI will benefit from the lessons
No kidding - it really did take about a year for me to finish it. That was _with_ a guide.
I do! Great advice. Going off on a tangent, when I recently visited my Microcenter after a few years of not going there, it totally gave me 80s vibes and I loved it. Staff fit the "computer nerd" stereotype accurately, including jeans shirts and ponytails. And best of all they actually wanted to talk to me and help me find stuff, and were knowledgeable.
Target disk mode on a lot of older Mac machines did that over Firewire. You could boot the machine into target disk mode and it would present its mass storage over Firewire. It was pretty cool.
That’s a different problem. I was responding to a comment asking about benchmarks for concurrent reads.

In general we have CPU systems with hundreds of cores nowadays, so I think it’s hard to say something is “the problem” as far as parallelism goes. For example, I have a problem where I got a 100x speed up in the “computationally difficult” part of the problem… suddenly all the stuff that looked too cheap to bother with became more noticeable!

I'm a formerly obese person who has kept the weight off for 20 years. It is a mindset, though not in the way they claim.

It's not about shaming yourself or having tremendous restraint. Dieting is like "not thinking about elephants" in that you'll obsess over it if you try not to.

What has helped is understanding true hunger and the sensation nutrients have. Sugar can feel as strong as a narcotic in certain conditions. If you are eating 20g of sugar you should have a strong sensation. if you aren't, the calibration is off.

Junk food (including restaurant cuisine) plays a part in disrupting that calibration. It's like listening to a deafening rock concert every day and then trying to distinguish a whisper. But junk food isn't poisonous. I eat "junky" food daily like chocolate truffles, marshmallows, butter, ice cream, bacon fat, donuts, brownies, chocolate cake, McDonalds. The difference is that a mouthful has an immediate sensation.

Would you be able to catch a baseball by calculating the vectors? no, you just look at it and raise your hand.
Not at all the point, but I love that 3/4 through the article, the author meets with a nutritionist/molecular biologist with the last name Nestle, buys a chocolate cookie to eat in front of them "as a provocation", and Nestle says “Actually, I think it’s probably O.K.”

Yes, "Nestle" != "Nestlé", but reading that she defended the chocolate chip cookie seemed so on the nose.

Much of SF's core/downtown was rebuilt after the 1906 fire and earthquake, plus there was massive "urban redevelopment" that made the core much more car friendly.
Sugar does not satiate effectively for the calories.

It's too easy to over eat sugar and carbs yet still be hungry, nutritionally deficient.

It's why Ozempic is effective- one feels satiated even if deficient.
You might find this NYT piece on the winners of the Biggest Loser TV show interesting. Basically, "dieting" as a reduction in calories is a lose-lose game because your basal metabolic rate goes down so you have to keep eating less and less to keep it up.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-weig...

Keeping up the basal metabolic rate is part of the rationale behind intermittent/extended fasting instead of pure calories-in-calories-out weightloss advice.
It still peters out eventually
Doom 2016 at 1080p with a 50% resolution scale (so, really, 540p) can hit 120 FPS on an AMD 8840U. That's what I've been doing on my GPD Win Mini, except that I usually cut the TDP down to 11-13W, where it's hitting more like 90-100 FPS. It looks and feels great!

> Nobody claimed successful business people don't start multiple businesses.

Yes they did. Statistics were cited about business failure rates, which were one-shot rates.

Then you are talking about economic mobility, and the data cited in support of arguments about social mobility is a category error.
Community notes seems to be quite well received. I like that the algorithm seems to be public and (IIUC) tamper-evident.

The obvious context is that either Meta gets out of the content moderation game voluntarily, or the incoming admin goes to war with them.

I imagine this will in practice determine how far they can go in the EU. Community notes, sure. No moderation? Maybe not.
Such metric would just indicate that respondents are unaware of other cities, no? Majority of new yorkers never lived in good cities. I guess many just repeat 100 years old notion that NYC is the best city in the world and just never doubt it.

Intel ARC B580 is $249 MSRP and right up your alley in that case.
Thanks for that. The longer-term goal is to make a "dock" for my elderly mom's phone that lets her use it as a tiny (her eyes are still good) pseudo-desktop setup with keyboard and mouse. She often ends up with her phone as her only communications device when things go wrong (again) on her laptop and this would give a good email experience (she's a skilled touch-typist). Any pointers to a cheap USB-C dock on Ali that does the job?

Sadly, one limitation, at least on the Android device, is that you can't use it in landscape mode with a mouse. Well, you can, but the launcher only operates in portrait mode, as do a lot of apps. I don't want to change the launcher - elderly folks get very fixated on how their device is supposed to work. Anyway as soon as the phone switches to sideways-portrait mode, the mouse also does which is very disorienting.
> Brown rice isn't that good for you

Based on what, exactly? Japan has one of the highest average lifespans, and the healthiest demographic in this already top-of-the-lifespan-pack nation consume significant amount of white rice, let alone brown.
With comp-time reflection you can build frameworks like ORMs or web frameworks. The only trade-off is that you have to include such a library in the form of source code.
I think the fear is not that there is no justice to help them.

The point is that when exceptional measures are needed, you want to know how far you can go, without it coming back to you in the months afterwards.

It's a bit like InfoSec cyber incident playbooks: if customer data is being corrupted, can the production server be shut down? how bad does it need to be before the downtime no longer outweighs the corruption? who can take the decision?

If you don't spell that out in advance, you may find yourself in a situation where you lose time unnecessarily.
But you couldn't use the machine at the same time. This would be like a SAMBA share, but over USB

The McMuffin is pretty much the most balanced meal at McDonalds! If you wanted to quibble over it, you could make it with a poached egg white instead of a whole egg, and dress it with olive oil instead of butter, to cut down on the cholesterol without removing too much energy. At ~300 calories a McMuffin is hardly sufficient for many people to get through the morning.
GPUs are in demand.

So scalpers want to make a buck on that.

All there is to it. Whenever demand surpasses supply, someone will try to make money off that difference. Unfortunately for consumers, that means scalpers use bots to clean out retail stores, and then flip them to consumers.

AMD's GPU marketing during CES has been such a shit show. No numbers, just adjectives and vibes. They're either hiding their hand, or they continue to have nothing to bring to the table.

Meanwhile their CPU marketing has numbers and graphs because their at the top of their game and have nothing to hide.

I'm glad they exist because we need the competition, but the GPU market continues to look dreary. At least we have a low/mid range battle going on between the three companies to look forward to for people with sensible gaming budgets.

> the idea of the town square does not scale.

Completely agree. Instead of one giant town square ("Facebook") what we would benefit from are 1000 smaller ones ("Facebook competitors") and some way to "travel" between them. That is a smaller more human scale that can be responsibly governed. It does not create hyper-billionaires though.
The ~2017 crypto rush told Nvidia how much people were willing to spend on GPUs, so they priced their next series (RTX 2000) much higher. 2020 came around, wash, rinse, repeat.
Simple, it's called a selection bias. The people able to long-term control what they eat aren't obese, so by running a study on obese people, you're essentially biasing the study towards subjects who have difficulty controlling what they eat. This means most of the subjects will struggle to stick to the diet long term.
Middle Ground Fallacy

Why not?

IMO, ideally:

- Some people work from home or drive elsewhere

- Others take transit instead of driving

- The remainder pay a fee that they didn't previously, which can fund more transit
During the packaging process I am pretty sure they spray on chemicals that cause addiction.
So you’re saying eating low quality food is a deeply ingrained habit because you grew up with a family that ate those foods. They are comfort foods.

That’s a really good point.
I tried, but I absolutely despise coffee. I think I'm really sensitive to the bitter compounds, I think it's vile even when I put a lot of sweetener in it, to a point where a small irrational part of me is kind of convinced that everyone who says they like it playing some kind of elaborate and expensive joke on me. Tea isn't as bad but I still dislike it.

That said, if you can develop a taste for coffee or tea, that's definitely the cheaper option.
Their speeds should be very similar, but which is faster is uncertain.

There have not been any published benchmarks demonstrating the speed of Cortex-X925 in a laptop/mini-PC environment.

In smartphones, Cortex-X925 and Snapdragon Elite have very similar speeds in single thread.

For multithreaded applications, 10 big + 10 medium Arm cores should be somewhat faster than 12 Snapdragon Elite.

The fact that NVIDIA Digits has a wider memory interface should give it even more advantages in some applications.

The Blackwell GPU should have much better software support in graphics applications, not only in ML/AI, in comparison with the Qualcomm GPU.

So NVIDIA Digits should be faster than a Qualcomm laptop, but unless one is interested in ML/AI applications the speed difference should not be worth the more than double price of NVIDIA.
