Vengeance.js is the latest JavaScript framework, and this candidate has 3 years experience! (Vengeance.js was released 6 month ago) /s

I’m disappointed… It looks like all the x.xxx domains were registered in 2012 and are just parked (or maybe the register reserved them? I can’t tell). It would have been fun if this could be a real email.

Except in this case they’re defrauding customers instead of corporate like in Office Space… not quite as fun.

My opinion is that including trans people in this sort of study actually reduces the bias, because they’re the only people who will have experienced the social impacts of presenting both male and female at different times. All cis-gendered people will be inherently biased towards their own limited experience.

It also aired in Canada when I was growing up!

Most of those seem like nonlinear relationships, so it still doesn’t make any sense still. The undergrowth would only start becoming an issue when the height gets taller than the egg diameter.

I’m pretty sure Tesla has offered delivery to a home pretty much from the very beginning. I remember they had some money back guarantee when they announced it because obviously you can’t test drive if you don’t go to a dealership.

You may recall Tesla started out with basically no dealerships, and this was one of the first options for getting one outside of major city centers.

I’d be fine if there were no more car ads tbh. Sounds like another “not my problem”.

Oh neat, this is basically an electric Kei truck. The front looks a little weird with the wheels so far forward. Reminds me of a golf cart. I can’t really complain though, I’d love a small practical truck.

Yeah… chip designers have been battling heat output since silicon doping was invented. The main source of heat is transistors changing state, since it doesn’t happen instantly, and will disipate more heat when half-on, acting almost like a resistor.
The higher the clock speed, the more time a transistor spends half-on. This is why things like undervolting and underclocking reduce power usage.
Physically smaller transistors usually also means it takes less electrons to saturate the gate, so it allows lower voltages and currents to be used, while still toggling the state at the same speed. (Not to mention timing gets easier the closer the transistors are to each other)

This was actually the main market for Intel Optame. It’s got great write endurance, and better latency than Flash. I think they ended up stopping making it because it wasn’t cost effective. I’m actually using some old Optame drives in my server for the OS boot drive.

Unfortunately this 1 bit / 400 picoseconds metric is 10x slower than GDDR7. The applications for this will be limited to things that need non-volatile memory.

1 bit / 400 picoseconds is 2.5Gbit/s, or 10x slower than a 1-bit GDDR7 bus (which the 5090 runs at 28Gbit/s * 512 bits).

To be fair this is non-volatile memory though, so the closest real comparison might be Intel Optame. The speeds actually seem somewhat comparable to DDR5, though even that is starting to run in to physical distance and timing issues. The real questions will be around density, cost, and reliability.

That’s pretty much my understanding. Most of the advancements happened in memory speeds are related to the physical proximity of the memory and more efficient transmission/decoding.

GDDR7 chips for example are packed as close as physically possible to the GPU die, and have insane read speeds of 28 Gbps/pin (and a 5090 has a 512-bit bus). Most of the limitation is the connection between GPU and RAM, so speeding up the chips internally 1000x won’t have a noticeable impact without also improving the memory bus.

Oh perfect, that means I can resell this Tesla I’ve been using and abusing for dyno testing and other stationary things as having 0 miles driven! /s

I’ve seen this linked before, and unfortunately the specs are very mediocre on their TVs. I don’t know how they can claim a TV is HDR when it has a meh contrast ratio, no dimming zones, and can’t even do 100% of the sRGB color space.

I don’t know how much of the price of other TVs are subsidized by ads, but these Sceptre TVs are pretty bad value when looking at panel specs alone.

Chances are they’ll have some antenna line going to the edge of the TV. The box on the back of the TV already has a bunch of shielding over it inside. If you were to go to the trouble of opening the TV to find it, you may as well disconnect the antenna and ground it so there’s no chance of a signal.

The US specifically does spend tax money on foreign aid (or at least they used to). I have no problem with that. If you’re struggling to get by, then you should be paying effectively no taxes. If that’s not the case, then we should be fixing that, not cutting funding to things that make the world better.

As for the fee suggestion, a library does not charge for entry or for every book. There is a “free tier” that everyone can use as long as you return the books on time. You only charge the people making too many requests to make sure the service stays available to everyone.

If it has value to a larger community, the larger community should be able to fund its operation.

Up until very recently it seemed perfectly reasonable to fund this sort of thing with taxes, because it benefits everyone even if they’re not directly using the database. An open source developer probably isn’t going to pay to look up vulnerabilities in the open source dependencies they use, so the database being free makes software more secure on average.

What is wrong with having free public services? If someone is abusing it, block them, or charge fees like a library.

I can’t read what you mean if you just insult me instead of attempting to communicate better. Clearly we have different views on this. I’m pretty sure I’m not misunderstanding you, I just think your argument is unproductive and pretty much in-line with the saying “perfect is the enemy of good”
