My girlfriend's Oldskool and said I could only get it done if I translated it to Perl.

How much does this additional strain on the water system end up costing the residents, both in terms of their monthly bills and the later infrastructure upgrades required? The data centers are shifting their true costs to the communities around them.

When CUDA started taking off we had ATI hardware, to support their open source pledge, and looked into ROCm.

Just getting the drivers to build on EL-anything was an extreme effort, and it wasn't my first rodeo.

Without betraying confidences, I was told second-hand that there were only ten people on the GPU driver team across all platforms and that they were doing their best and not sleeping enough as it was, with Compute way behind gaming bugs on the priority list.

I couldn't independently verify of course but the theory fit the data.

I immediately empathized with the suffering of the devs and went out and bought nVidia cards, annoying binary drivers and all.

Since then I've felt like that some bean counter at AMD wrote nVidia a trillion dollar check.

If you're not a tiny company *overstaff* your engineering departments so you don't miss new opportunities as they arise. The opportunity costs exceed the opex costs.

My gawd, this is like how's shitcoins different than the stock market.

It's like the worst of the worst old school racetrack hustling.

Look, I’m in a jam here. My ex-wife’s boyfriend is outside double-parked with my kid and if I miss this party again I’m dead. I got this ticket before the steam hit. Beautiful number. Absolute robbery at this price. Honestly I shouldn’t even be offering it. ... But you don't even have to try that hard, you can just whisper rumors about the horse being on giga-steroids then sell your stake back on the market waaaaaayy faster than one mark at a time the old fashioned way.

Dude, insider trading and influence ain't even the half of it, every old scam is going to rear its head, it's so obvious.

It's literally trading, the gains are someone else's loses, that's simple. It is worse than gambling, _because_ it's a trading platform. You can buy low odds, pump it up, then take your profits before the contract is resolved. It's the worst of the stock market with the worst of gambling.

What do you mean loot the stock market, it's not a pool of money you fish around in, there are people like you and I on both sides of trades. When you profit off the stock market, that money doesn't come from some company, it comes from whoever bought the shares you sold, which can be another retail investor exactly like you. Every time you get out at just the right time, some ... general population.. dimwit FOMO bought that. They're called retail traders, and there's practically no barrier to signing up for a brokerage account, the stock market is the general population, it's your 401k, it's my play money day trading.

Bet your ass that any unregulated market is worse than a regulated one. It's not up for debate. I'm sorry but even if you think all markets are scams, but you're inevitably going to do it anyway which is why we have these conversations, why the hell would you go for the unregulated market. It boggles the fucking mind. If you truly think everything is a scam, then don't fucking do it. Don't fucking rationalize it, and don't pretend someone took money out of your pocket, you had to buy something, that's on you.

If they weren't ripping people of with every purchase there would no need for a "discount". I was the "guy" who was forced to replace our really nice Commodore Pet computers with that crApple BS in HS. Apple never did anything for the schools that they didn't get paid for. Their software SUCKS, their networking SUCKS. In an effort to be "cool" and trendy apple has made supporting their stuff annoying time consuming.

GM's future is so dull that they sold their shades. A company that has no future needs very few employees. If the US allowed Chinese imports the US companies would be gone already.

Same here but this lack of support will matter much less than dropping i486.

There are still embedded systems sold today that only meet i486 specs. I don't use them but some industries do.

Sure a $12 ESP32 can handle those tasks but it's a revalidation thing.

Not that anybody from those vendors stepped forward to maintain a tree.

OTR might be small enough.

The Axolotl Ratchet is much better but perhaps too big for SMS.

TextSecure probably would have offered it were that feasible.

Of course if you can arrange one-time pads you're 1:1 at 140 characters.

I have news for you, skippy: nearly ALL jobs will soon be able to be done faster, better, and cheaper with robots & AI than with human workers. Like most clueless slashdot programming dorks, you don't have a clue regarding the exponential improvement in machine intelligence. Nor do the soon to be unemployed humanities students mentioned in the article that graduated.

Oh no, how awful.

To avoid this being seen by anyone else and spread even further, I have torn up my monitor screen and thrown away the pixels.

Gloria lives in a bubble, and made the mistake of thinking her extremely comfortable, highly secure bubble was the whole world. That's not surprising. Gloria only moves among other bubble people, from one gated bubble pad to the next, in her bubble transport system, where they don't talk about the turbo-fans and ICE V8's that power it all, or the staggering quantity of power it takes to climate control everything in her bubble world.

That's not new. We're ruled by such bubble folk, indulging their bubble concerns, pursing their moral panics, signaling their virtues, and carefully ignoring all else beyond the bubble.

What's new here is this: the consequences of this have reached the privileged students of our prestigious academic system. Suddenly it's not just the hoi polloi on the shit end of the stick. Johnny Winston-Blake IV is also having his future deleted by the bubble people. And he's mad about it.

I would also question the usefulness of a clutch on an electric street bike.

On the other hand, offroad racing is completely different. Dirtbike throttles are pinned, you shift without the clutch (tire/dirt is the clutch), the clutch is how you control power output.

There is no amount of speed dependent throttle rotation to torque mapping, that can replicate the one inch of left hand finger movement used on a clutch. It's a completely different muscle memory that needs to be learned, and speed dependent mapping works against muscle memory. I mean it's that or a constant mapping that you change with mode buttons, and no... not even going there.

So a clutch on a e dirtbike is a special case in my mind, for trail riding sure you can relearn the throttle movement, but for uhh go-fast, it's not about being snobby having to relearn something, I just don't see how you can beat how muscle memory works with two statically mapped input curves vs one that basically has to be dynamic or toggled somehow.

I have no idea what problem a flywheel would be trying to solve when you already have electric motors with full torque at any speed, putting that aside.

The clutch on a dirtbike is not used like the clutch on other things. They can be shifted without the clutch, part how their sequential transmissions are built, part the friction between the wheel and dirt being so low. You go through the whole range of power and speed back and forth so rapidly you don't waste time on the clutch most of the time, unless you're stopping. The clutch is mainly used to feather power output.

Dirtbikes (racing anyway) have too much power, that's how they function, it's like riding on a chainsaw stuck in the dirt. You never have full traction, the bike is always revved in the peak RPM for maximum power output. You stomp through gears to control speed, you use the clutch to control power, independently.. when shifting, the dirt is your clutch, it eats that power/speed difference. All that to keep maximum torque available a finger flick away.

So edirtbikes, similarly have stupefying power to weight ratios, like any bike at max power they will just cartwheel. I haven't tried one, but from what I understand they map power output to throttle position on a curve, and that is just weird to me. They have buttons to change modes that remap the throttle curve, but it doesn't change the fact that we just don't use the throttle that way on a dirtbike.

Functionally, there's no need to pin the electric throttle and vary power with a lever, that was part of keeping the engine at a constant high rpm, the power band. But, no matter how you map the throttle, even in some race mode, it still has to be low power at the bottom and what full everywhere else? That's still asking riders to use the throttle entirely for power management and it's not the same as the finger flick it takes on the clutch.

TLDR: in motocross, the clutch is how you control power output, keeping that form of input on high performance e dirtbikes makes a lot of sense.
