The Titan RTX is a consumer GPU, not a workstation GPU. The cards are designed for different workloads, so are not really comparable.

.NET core works pretty well on Linux - I have an ASP.NET Core side project and work exclusively from a Linux machine. The other two maintainers work from Macs.

I half with you - when you have a money printing machine (a monopoly), it's easier to justify spending money on R+D. But at the same time, we've seen a decline in corporate R+D since the start of the neoliberal era - the article m

I'd suggest "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces". ( http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ ) I've found it very accessible. Largely, the way that they teach is to describe a system based on a s

Seconding this - I've used it to teach myself a few subjects so far (a couple of subsections of Operating Systems and I've started on Computer Architecture) and their suggested materials have been good.

I inherited a pair of speakers my dad bought in the early 80s. They still work well, though the amp died last year and I wasn't able to repair it.

RCDs are common in Australia. In Western Australia, whenever a house is sold it needs to have an electrical inspection which includes checking if there are enough functional RCDs. Not sure if that's a national requirement or not, but h

The parts of Australia with NBN (read: about 90% of houses in the country) have choice in ISP. I'm not sure of the split between all the FTTx options, so they may not all count as "high speed".

Yep, same. I'm glad I'm not important enough to have to think about work when I'm not being paid.

I have to fly from Australia to the US and back around once per year (in cattle class). Usually around the 10h mark between MEL/SYD and SFO I just want to get off the damn plane. 20h sounds like torture, though maybe less so in Busines

Maybe tautology is the wrong word. I just feel like it's a bit ridiculous to downplay the environmental impacts of bitcoin mining by saying "it'll be fine when we have fusion!" because we don't have fusion today, an

I mean that's a bit of a tautology isn't it? Once we have clean energy production for everything, bitcoin will have minimal environmental impact? That's ignoring the fact that fusion is still a very long way from commercial a

You're saying that we just need to make fusion a reality in order for bitcoin to be environmentally friendly?

Sure, but estimates for marginal energy costs for bitcoin transactions sit at around 150-250 kWh. A 310L fridge [1] (random one I found) for context uses about 280 kWh per year [2]. I think it's pretty ridiculous to say that the averag

NP-hard problems can be solved. The Continuum Hypothesis [0] (which the authors are saying the learning problem is isomorphic [1] to) is not provable from the axioms of set theory. You can add "The Continuum Hypothesis is true" OR
