The rumours I've heard have them beating the 2080Ti, but not enough to be competitive with the top Nvidia cards if these performance claims are accurate. Plus I'd guess Nvidia will launch a 3080Ti at ~$1000 sometime around the rel

They specifically lowered the price when buying without Apple payment processing.

I suspect the arguments are made to make sense to media executives not to the consumer. After all, DRM is an anti-feature for the consumer.

I'd agree that interop with .NET is the main advantage of F# over OCaml. My point was more that I think OCaml competes mostly with other functional and more generally GCed languages, not a language like Rust.

by zucker42 6y ago
I don't know. I think Scala and F# have stolen OCaml's thunder more than Rust. While Rust has been inspired by ML, OCaml and Rust have much different usecases.

On the last two points, aren't there rumors that Intel is going to build some of its Intel Xe graphics cards using TSMC?

TSMC just stopped making chips for one of its biggest customers just because the U.S. passed a law. They're building a big facility in Arizona just to satisfy the economic nationalists in the U.S. Plus, Samsung is also outside of China

Can't they just ban you from making connections to known Bitcoin nodes at the network level, or use a Honeypot to detect when you access Bitcoin specific services?

I don't own a printer but if I did I would print out academic papers because I find it easier to focus on them when they are printed out

I mean sure you could have the government manage the central database but maybe the Indian government is not equip to run such a database. Plus you can avoid some of the problems with high costs or stagnation that can happen with centrally

Protocol Labs seems to be one which is actually trying to solve a problem rather than just being a tool to buy or use cryptocurrency. Your description is probably apt for the rest.

I imagine the issue is maintaining consensus between the different phone companies. Without blockchain you'd have to have a canonical database run by a single entity, whereas you can use blockchain as the consensus mechanism among comp

That issue appears to be someone who was upset with the methodology of the benchmarks and the delay in accepting his/her programs so they resorted to repeatedly changing the title of one their issues.

Oops, I reworded my question and removed the antecedents. "It" is the benchmarks game and "they" are the maintainers of the benchmarks game.

I've seen many gas stations offer cheaper cash prices. Here's an article which claims credit card surcharges are disallowed but cash discounts are not. https://www.cardfellow.com/blog/cash-discount-eliminate-p

I thought I remember a post about them shutting it down from a few years back. Did they reopen it, or did I just fabricate that memory?

This ignores the useful industrial applications of gold and understates the probable black market that would develop.

Except there's not even any claim or confirmation about which group performed the attack, though one is suspected according to the article.

I think I'd agree with the end of the article. If the only reason you're paying them is to prevent a data leak, what's to stop them from accepting the ransom and still leaking the data?

PeerTube's reasonably good browser interface and federation features are good reasons to use it.

It uses WebRTC, which you disable in your browser. However, it's also used for in browser video calls.

But in neither of those cases did anyone say, you shouldn't wear a mask because they won't work. They recommended against wearing masks because they thought the harms of people wearing masks would outweigh the benefits at that poi

There are no studies that I know of that show that cloth masks provide protection for the wearer. The consensus now seems to be that they are effective at decreasing the likelihood that a sick person spreads it to a healthy person if sick

Which person lied? I did not hear the claim (from a public health authority) that masks were not effective in preventing transmission. I did hear the claim that we are unsure if masks provide protection for the user (rather than just protec

Ah that makes sense. I didn't necessarily think he held personal disdain, just I've noticed beyond this situation the way some people seem to treat outsourced workers worse or in a disrespectful way.

Is this really an advantage of the fact that the system is trustless and the ownership of storage media is distributed? You can an imagine a system where Amazon owns all the hard drive but still distributes/duplicates files across many
