I gave up playing around with AI partly because the drivers are proprietary and not too good. Only in the past year or two has Nouveau developed well enough that some games are playable. But only on cards not enforcing signed firmware. How

For what it's worth, the Ethereum merge was planned years ago (but the concrete release date may have been unknown until recently). Enjoy the GPU glut. I for one am thinking of having fun with Stable Diffusion and the like.

And that server was: Cloudflare: https://relay.flashbots.net/

I see a JSON error straight on HTTPS. Must be an API directly. But HTTPS is 443, not 80. The fact that Cloudflare was privy to all Ethereum ecosystem communication with flashbots gives me the heebie jeebies.

I have another question. Why would a centralized relay (flashbots) NOT take advantage of all the orders it processes? As far as I can tell, the MEV has just moved from the miners to the flashbot(s?).

Android 5 did revert my Chrome. Sites worked faster for a while on my very old device.

You are correct. Reminds me of "negative GDP growth", one of the most roundabout ways to say "wealth creation slowdown".

I agree completely, and I am disappointed that so many projects start which have no benefit from the computation redundancy (yet will have to pay for it).

I'd guess: Fourier transform, a power density preserving blur convolution, then inverse Fourier transform. But I am not familiar with the field of signal processing.

This project still has a good bang for the time or money buck. Life has compromises. You do give up some things to build a perfect studio.

Why is it not an actual open source license? Perhaps CC-By or something?

A factory reset unapplies all updates. But for instance, Chrome will auto-update even without you being logged into a Google account.

Maybe their logic is: in order to beat Russia you must become Russia (which I strongly disagree with).

To me, there's Hacker News, Stack Exchange sites, and the Fediverse. When Reddit chose to cater to "normies", I was fine with it. But when they started to become hostile to techies (the insulting mobile and new web experience

You could cut other taxes. Or you could remove the received funds from existence (such as by paying down government debt). But fact is, greenhouse gases have the potential to end humanity, and the US is not addressing them enough.

If you look at area (pollution per capita x population), it's the second.

Even better would be to tax all industries fairly, according to their greenhouse gas emissions. Or even energy production directly. The US is the second largest polluter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_

So, private citizens are not subject to this potential law?

On the other hand, the government moves slowly. I argue that, since mining is done in the US, mining is clearly providing more value than the electricity used, since it continues. The power use is just an excuse. Of course, the price of ele

by danuker 4y ago
Ah yes, let's ban random uses of electricity, instead of addressing the root cause: actual emissions being taxed or limited.

by danuker 4y ago
A much fairer law would tax all emissions. But the fossil lobby threw PoW under the bus as a red herring.

And look at the difference in verbosity. Lisp is to Python as Python is to Java.

That makes sense. Big Tech in general has data on billions.

I suppose you could allocate some savings to REITs if you also want some housing exposure.
