This is worth the read.

All this time I thought they were little tiny X's until I just now looked really closely.

Yeah in a world where if you post a Ring video of someone taking a crowbar to your mailbox which gets a strike in your neighborhood group and the video down for "hate", yeah, as useful as it is, the mass surveillance stuff is pretty alarming.

They used to refer to it as GPGPU (general purpose) but they just shortened it maybe 10 years ago?

I was going to say you need an extension cable. My first dual 3090 build I had three issues. First was the pcie extension wouldn't support gen4, so I had to change to gen3 in the bios. Second issue was that depending on which slot, you couldn't get x16/x16 and it would drop to x16/x8 unless you had it configured right. Third, I finally gave up and just had the card resting first inside the case and then outside which if fan kicks up, it'll jiggle around, so I had to make some makeshift holder to keep the card sitting there.

One tiny comment, I think the article meant "steward" not Stuart. LOL

That's actually brilliant. Same issue w/ some sports cars too or even cars coasting in slow stop and go traffic when coming up from behind from high speed traffic.

That was enjoyable. And the artwork doubled it.

This is really cool and thanks for sharing the details. Now I want to see coke bottle glass effects. :-) https://www.nathanallan.com/product/bottle-base-textured-gla...

I was going to say, do a file -i to find the encoding of frodo.py. I note the file man page has a -0 or --print0 command that adds a ‘\0’ that can be 'cut', but strings works too.

I came into a company once that had built their own server room. It had a couple hundred pizza boxes in it and was always hot as hell even with full blast air conditioning. When I retired almost all of them to use virtual servers, it turns out that 1) a lot of the chipsets internallyl still had plastic film on them (to prevent scratches? Why would you put film on them? There were even some CPUs that didn't have any coolers on them, just film) and 2) A lot of the inpflow and outflow air ports also had plastic shipping film that was never removed. I was completely shocked. So I fixed dozens if not a hundred computers simply by removing a piece of tape.

If you've ever watched the movie Zero Theorem, their data analysts use data captures in fluid dynamics to manipulate and process the data. I always that that was a really interesting concept.

LMAO. I have about 150 Bitcoins sitting on an old hard drive at the bottom of the local dump. I guess someone would try to dig them up if it ever hits a million, but doubtful they could recover them much less unlock them.

Just curious how you would populate the data?

Okay, this is amazingly cool.

That reminds me of the battlefield3 simulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg8Bh5iI2WY

They have LED cpu cooler displays now that you can stick anything you want on it including disk/mem/heat/whatever. They are really amazing.

If you haven't been fired by the board of a startup you founded, you aren't doing it right.

First rule of startups. Never lie to your board. Second rule, never lie to your CEO.

since the 80s, I've always kept a ~/.cryptic file that I would add commands for which I could never remember the format. It would be cool to use that as a localized fine-tuning.

I skimmed through the paper and the comments, but my real question is: is online social networking considered a crowd and does it have the same effects?

This seems like an elaborate scam. I never eliminated my facebook account, but I definitely stopped using them. I think the Cambridge Analytica abuse is the least of their privacy abuses.

They forgot the 5th monitor. We used to use a whole other sun sparcstation running the tiniest, laggiest video with the camera on the other remote user so when you fragged them you could flip them off. Back then, they didn't really have picture in picture or video overlays, so we just used a whole other machine sitting next to us.

3060 12GB are the best things you can buy right now. They are cheap, have a ton of memory--which seems to be the issue w/ image generation--and you can fit four of them into the cheapest motherboards.

3060ti 8GB, 3090 24GB, and 4000 series all have performance benefits, but for now this one is off the charts.

rumble.com search on drink champs dozens of uploads.

Though truthfully I haven't watched it & just read all the coverage. I was just fascinated w/ the idea that it was censored and how (& tried to replicate it).

I downloaded it from Rumble, put the unzipped full content into my Gdrive. It didn't filter it. I'm assuming if it's being blocked, it's only from the original URL and not actually content filtering.

Isn't that really just the same thing as Arrow-Debreau's competitive markets? You can't find an equilibrium w/o concave functions?

I've been looking at some automated way to scare coyotes out of my yard almost every night at 3am. It drives the dog nuts.

Related subject, if you haven't watched Nightmare Alley, I recommend it.
