AMD lost big money and was uncompetitive for many years in the CPU and then the GPU space. AMD was/is fighting a 2 front war against hypercompetitive Intel and Nvidia.

Nvidia hasn't misstepped badly like Intel and keeps a significant lead over AMD, who is now only 1 step behind team green in GPU hardware but 2-3 steps behind in software. CUDA and ML support has been nurtured for years by Nvidia while AMD was nonexistent. An entire AI/ML ecosystem has grown up around Nvidia as a result.

RocM exists but supported GPU list is rather limited, and AMD's software support teams still seem to be smaller than Nvidia's.

None of this really helps you because you're running MacOS as well... so it's an MacOS edge case upon an AMD edge case. I suppose you could buy an eGPU case to add an Nvidia GPU over thunderbolt, but that still doesn't really help you because you'd also have to swap the MacOS to boot to Windows since Apple broke up with Nvidia years ago and there is no RTX MacOS driver.

If you want decent AI/ML performance locally you'd basically have to switch to a Windows/Linux machine with a RTX GPU. AMD and Apple are not significant players in this space (yet), and none of Apple/AMD's moves help you with your legacied laptop, it's all towards new hardware only. :-/

The previous Republican Secretary of State, Colin Powell, told Hillary Clinton that he had to get around policy in order to get things done, and that she should do the same.

Doesn't absolve her of the infraction but goes to show that it was common practice.

NSFW and pretty gut wrenching.

If you read the GP's post carefully you'll see what he was really saying.

This is incorrect. Junk cards will exhibit the behaviour you claim, but genuine full speed UHS-II cards can hit (near) their claimed read and write speeds.

This F-Stoppers video shows some 1.5GB transfers with times on various cards and readers. 88MB/sec write on a 95MB/sec claimed write speed.

Make it degrade when exposed to a specific enzyme or catalyst after the structure is completed...

Just remember the original developer previews for Mac OS X had the apple logo where the 'notch' would reside, so I wouldn't put it past Apple.

Tom Boger, Apple’s senior director of Mac hardware product marketing, told TechCrunch. “In addition to transparency for pro customers on an individual basis, there’s also a larger fiscal reasoning behind it...We know that there’s a lot of customers today that are making purchase decisions on the iMac Pro and whether or not they should wait for the Mac Pro..."

Sounds to me like they want to force people waiting on the sidelines to consider the shitty iMac Pro or the even shittier 2013 Trashcan.

Youtube was a huge source of lots of infringing content too, especially early on. Yet Google went and bought Youtube...

But they'll never ban iRack.

Why the hell does he have to remain jailed pending appeal? He is not a flight risk? The judge and the prosecutor are just being dicks in the interim.

Tells you which side of the bread is being buttered here.

There could be other conflating factors as well, given that women have been traditionally underpaid as well.

1. Women could be expected to drop their shifts sooner than men to do other chores and family tasks. Men already make more than women for the same labour, so by the same token, women should be expected to do non-paying tasks more than men. This is a self-selecting and cultural bias.

2. Women could already have fewer and less resources than men, so with less income and capital to start with, they may drop out sooner than men overall. By this I mean a woman's car may not be in a similar condition to a man's car, because she could not afford any better to begin with. Or the cost of fuel is more of a drag on her daily income than a man's, on average. They could control for this by seeing if income and age of the vehicle, and income of the driver are affecting the driver's Uber income, regardless of sex.

3. Of course the big one that everyone is not wanting to refer to is biology. Women deliver the babies and men do not. Women are expected to be the primary care givers so they are *expected* to be the ones who get the kids etc. How are the women Uber drivers expected to pick up riders getting their children when the driver has to retrieve their own child at the same time? I would guess that countries with strong government mandates in health care and child care have a much narrower gap in pay.

Typical AC logic. So women are the only people who are allowed to be on Etsy and all CEOs of Fortune 500 companies should all be men?

The gap is real, and not just between your ears.

So you've turned a 7% differential in one company to justify ignoring a 21% differential overall in the United States? Good on yah.
