I just want to chime in and say that at with my personal computer setup I was not able to recreate these findings at all. I was getting keypress to character latencies of around 30ms in Windows gVim as measured by averaging multiple runs w/ a 240Hz camera. I don't even think I have a particularly low latency setup as I'm using an eGPU.

What an absolutely wild opinion to hold! Kind of speechless at the hubris, especially in this context.

Ahahahah I love this dogwhistle. You always know you're in good company when someone waves their hands around and says "put the armor where there AREN'T bullet holes" and gives you a significant look. XD

Hm? Double the voltage means twice the wattage for the same amperage, i.e. the same copper requirements. If the constraint is heat that it is indeed how it works.

Very cool stuff, as a baseline I have about zero interest in a compile to JS language but this seems like it might actually lift more than it weighs! Really appreciate the documentation, examples and terseness of the code.

P.S. Nobody calls it San Fran :`D

> How long will that situation last though

Probably until at least 2022 because the shortage of GPUs isn't solely because of crypto. Until we generally get back on track tricking sand to think we're not going to be able to saturate demand.

> Will Intel have a CPU+GPU combo product for laptops?

What? Obviously the answer is yes, how could it possibly be no? CPU+GPU combo is the only GPU related segment where Intel currently has a product.

Ahh, interesting, I wasn't aware of that issue. Personally the problem with npm for me has never been "the node_modules directory is too big" or "npm is non-deterministic" but rather "the quality of other people's code is terrible" or "this library solves 99 other cases in addition to the one I care about".

I think if you're careful about what you pull in from npm it's totally fine.

So the cost is you add another tool (yarn) to your toolchain and this is better than NPM because your deps are all in one folder and just mapped through a header file instead of being duplicated for every project, am I understanding that right?

I've found the best strategy here is to do rate control on your work on the interface between you and your job. I essentially just try to constantly overperform slightly and any gap that widens between my capability and the demands of the job remains hidden unless it's strategically useful to me.

I won't get paid twice as much if I can do my job in half the time, I just get another half of work. If I use the gap between their demands and my capability carefully I can spend only a portion of it to get raises/promotions and spend the rest on fucking off at lunch and just generally having a chill relaxed time.

Oh for sure the storage problem is much much more difficult to solve wrt hydrogen than water, I was just being pedantic.

It pretty definitely requires pressure vessels if you care about it's phase.

Absolutely, I didn't mean "tied directly" to mean linearly, but even that caveat being made I would happily weather through months or even years of like 1/2 or even 1/4 salary. If I worked at a company where say the highest paid person did not earn more than say 20X the lowest paid and all salaries were tied to the revenue I feel like on compensation structure alone I would be more likely to work there than most places. I think "the compensation scheme NOT creating a heinous caste system" is actually really high on my list of things I would want in a workplace.

I fundamentally disagree with this philosophy. I get that Microsoft wants the average user not to shoot themselves in the foot and that's what Win Home edition can do. If I have Win Pro there should at least be an easy "i know the risks, please give me back all my foot-guns" button that does away with all this stuff in one click.

An anecdote: I recently bought an android based MP3 player, it's locked down to only be able to use a couple different apps because it's a tiny device with a small battery and running standard android stuff results in terrible battery life and performance. All that is true and yet the company behind it provides clear instructions on how to REMOVE this limit and even leaves the bootloader completely open so you can flash your own roms. I find it hard to put into words the warm fuzzy feeling I got when I realized that I wouldn't have to spend time fighting arbitrary restrictions on something I bought. It was truly an unexpected breath of fresh air.

This is the all-important point. It would be insane for me to try my best to make money for a company when the effort reward curve is so non linear. The only reason the idea of "doing the best job you can" is propagated is because it allows one to abuse workers. I could see myself working hard at a company with a flat-ish compensation structure tied directly to the revenue of the company.

"If I make a penny my boss makes a dime, that's why I shit on company time."

Honestly the way this works in Window 10 is already insanely infuriating. If anyone has a way to programmatically set associations in Windows 10 and prevent Windows from ever complaining about it I would really fucking love to hear it. I dearly miss the days I could just set all my media associations to VLC/IrfanView with two clicks.

I can't imagine I'll u̶s̶e̶- buy Windows 11 at this point with Proton being at the stage it is and my work/hobbies having moved away from the last few programs that ran exclusively on Windows. I want a computer that does what I tell it to. Microsoft and I are no longer aligned on this at all.

Pretty much. Honestly if I can get a 20% pay raise by switching jobs, my job is to do the absolute minimum amount I can do to stay under the radar, why would I try? If I wanted to try I would go work somewhere else.

There's just a complete mismatch in how much the company I work for values the experience and skill I gain over time and how much everyone else values it. Over time recruiters come to me with opportunities to make more money, they try to convince me to leave. It's such an obvious disparity I can't help but stop caring about the job I'm doing when it's only real utility to me is that I don't have to put in any effort to keep having it.

While MacType's delivery method is wild, Valorant anti-hack is a problem, and normalizing that sort of thing is also a problem.

Riot games is a bunch of arrogant cowboys who think they know better than everyone else, yet somehow other folks have managed to make anti hack systems that are just as effective and much less intrusive.

You're right, but not mentioning the game feels wrong.

(yooooo that song is a whole ass trip)

Oh my god. So wrong, such confidence.

> ... you can hear that the title is a play on the word "echo." It's an obvious nod to the production on the album ...

One pilot died, the other bailed out successfully.

Branson didn't fly on the first flights because SpaceShipTwo is a completely different beast to New Shepard. SpaceShipTwo is a pioneering space plane with MANUAL controls. New Shepard is basically the absolute most boring way you could claim to have "gone to space". It's vastly vastly less interesting and ambitious compared to what SpaceX and even Virgin Galactic are doing.

I don't feel the least bit for GW, IP protection is almost always net negative for society. Any more than a little and it's just used to by extant powers to collect rents.

You're using the wrong units and you're off by more than an order of magnitude. A decent large fridge will use like 500Wh/day.

It's real and quite trivial to DIY a shitty version. http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~mhirsch/byo3d/tutorial/lenticul...

Ship in this case doesn't mean "deliver an asset" but rather "deliver a user experience", nailing the latter consistently is non trivial. I do think people making SaaS products start by wanting to charge rent and then work backwards from there to a justification most of the time.

I bet it's a NN that they've trained to make their image quilts based on photos and it may be hard to ship to the end user. That being said SaaS is a cancer upon humanity.

This doesn't have better than 1080p res does it? I didn't see mention of a refresh rate anywhere either but the screen this uses is 2048 x 1536 and it purports 100 views so the actual image resolution is likely on the order of 200 x 150. I imagine it feels a bit better than that since you're seeing multiple images. Also note that the hologram only appears 3D in one plane, if you move above or below the plane the illusion is lost (correct me if I'm wrong on that I haven't seen one in person). It's not useful in this form, but lenticular displays are neat and I might try and build one sometime.

Seems super niche as the data hosting limits are really low. I post speedruns to youtube sometime and an hour long run can be 20gb+ @ 1440p60. I might post 3 runs in a day if I broke a PR twice for example, that's more content than the premium tier on here created in < 4 hours.

They're a company which spends billions of dollars hiring the people who play the game of manipulating others at the highest level. They're doing their absolute best to make sure people are ignorant. The average person is completely outmatched.

Yup. React is a tool so that thousands of people can speak the same language about a big codebase. That's what it's for, that's the only thing it's (arguably) good at. If you want to pretend otherwise you're left to these sorts of mental gymnastics to make the evidence fit your assumptions.

KSP is invaluable for getting an intuition for orbital mechanics.
