4090s are only sold out because of the China sanctions and are moving back towards MSRP. Fundamentally even a 48GB desktop card would be no substitute for a B100.

If you give 500 people a few thousand dollars (in cash or in kind) it makes them better off. If you give everyone a few thousand dollars you cause inflation.

How much memory could a single system thread handling the audio use? Forgive my ignorance I don't deeply understand OS level memory management but I thought, much like the task scheduler has priority understanding for CPU resource mana

You’re always gonna have a ton of lawyers in congress and state legislatures because if you were interested in law enough to become a lawyer you are disproportionately likely to want to write laws.

When I visited the South Island last year and rented a (gasoline) car I was struck by how little infrastructure there was even in the towns. And on the freeways there was almost nothing by the side of the road between towns every 30-50 mile

This was always going to happen. The human eye has a field of view and dynamic range no display technology can hope to match anytime soon. The future of AR is not reprojecting the outside world on a screen; it is screens which can become tr

Loser pays has a different trade off. If you have a case which is close on the merits (where you may well win but it isn’t certain) you may want to concede early because you are risk averse about paying BigCo’s legal fees. It isn’t a free l

Alcoholism (or to be more precise, alcohol dependence) is a physiological condition. Gambling ‘addiction’ is a psychological condition. That is what I mean by difference in type. No amount of self control will stop Delirium Tremens but some

The GPS app is doing something screwy and I’m getting lost so I look at the map to figure out where I need to go. Other than that I don’t use my phone in the car, if I get a call I can take it on my Apple Watch.
