Don’t learn to code: Nvidia’s founder Jensen Huang advises a different career path
  • It's just as crazy as saying "We don't need math, because every problem can be described using human language".

    In other words, that might be true as long as your problem is not complex enough to be able to be understood using human language.

    You want to solve a real problem? It's way more complex with so many moving parts you can't just take LLM to solve it, because that takes an actual understanding of a problem.

  • Everything about TOML format - Orchard Dweller
  • What?

    It's simple and readable. You literally put somebody that has never coded in their life, show them the YAML file and they will probably get it. Worked both with my boss and my girlfriend.

    In Toml there are too many ways to do the same thing, which I don't like. Also unless you know it deeply, you have no idea how the underlying data structure is going to look.

  • Apple refuses to relax its iron grip on iPhones in Europe
  • It's funny, I buy Apple Car specifically so that that I can't decide where I want to go. At work we MDM and Apple's approach isn't for everyone, but forcing something like choosing their destination simply isn't the right choice for all types of users.

    I'm all for encouraging them to be on the right side of Right-to-Repair, labor laws, and environmental best practices. But I left the world of thinking where I want to go and choice for the Apple Car's tight lockdowns. At first I still couldn't help myself but to try to go around wherever I wanted with my first Apple Car or two, then I stoped that also.

    Apple Car's filtered possible destinations are all I need, so I don't see why anyone would ever want to go any other place.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 | Patch 2.11
  • Open Task manager at the performance tab on the second monitor. If GPU is 100%, it's GPU bottleneck, otherwise it's most likely CPU. If RAM is close to max out, it can also be not enough RAM. If you notice a lot of stutters when going to new locations, it's probably drive related. Low 1% FPS compared to avg FPS might also mean RAM is too slow.

  • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?
  • In polish we have ź and ż. For ż we use Alt gr + z, and for ź we use Alt gr + x. Same for other non-standard letters. The rest of the keyboard is a regular US layout.

    So in Swedish you could use Alt gr + a and Alt gr + s for different variants of a.

  • It's just business
  • Your goal as a company is not to sell as many, but to make the greatest profit. So let's say that the new market price is $3 000.

    You're the new company. Your supply is 20 000.

    Do you

    a) Sell fridges @ $2 950/each, undercutting competition while selling whole supply, because of demand being higher than your supply, making $59 000 000?

    or

    b) Sell fridges at a reasonable price of $400, selling the same amount, because your supply is limited anyway, making $8 000 000?

    The company still has no incentive to go B route. They only need to undercut the competition, not make prices reasonable.

    Free market self regulates, provided nothing artificially screws with supply and demand and there are competitors. Both scalping and price fixing screws with it. It is literally the cancer of free market, and people screwing with it call themselves "investors", while actually destroying the economy.

    It is the government's responsibility to prevent those situations before they happen, otherwise these changes may be irreversible.

    Btw. A situation like this was happening recently in the GPU market. Nvidia had a crazy high demand for their GPUs because companies invested in AI were going to buy these cards no matter the price. So they bumped the prices like crazy, and they were instantly sold out.

    Meanwhile Nvidia's competitor - AMD - didn't have nearly as strong GPUs for Ai as Nvidia. Do you think AMD's prices stayed the same? Nope. They bumped it just like Nvidia, barely undercutting them, because there was still demand, in fact growing demand, for GPUs for gaming, while AMD's supply was obviously limited.

    2 years later, lower demand, GPUs actually in stock, but prices are still fucked (though not as much) because people got used to it.

  • It's just business
  • It's free market exploitation. If you believe a free market can exist without regulations, you're imbecile.

    Just imagine: People need fridges. All fridge manufacturers agree to raise prices of a fridge by 2000%. So what, people are going to stop buying fridges? No - because they need them.

    You would say: it's a free market, some new manufacturer is going to offer fridges at regular prices. Well - no you dumb fuck. What's the incentive for the new fridge manufacturer to sell at lower prices, when people are going to buy fridges anyway, because they need them? The answer is - none. It would be a dumb business decision, because your supply is limited, and you're going to sell it at market price, because that item is essential.

    So how does the economy even work if that's possible? That's right idiot - because it's price fixing and it's fucking illegal.

  • Docker is 80% Linux, 10% Networking, 5% Virtualization and remaining 5% is actual Docker-specific things.

    If you learn Linux, networking and virtualization, Docker is just a cherry on top.

  • I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car
  • All of these functionalities can be provided by a simple WebSocket + REST server. The car connects to the WebSocket, and you can access these functionalities from your phone either with WebSockets or regular HTTP requests.

    Cheapest servers with backend written in JS can easily handle thousands of WebSocket connections, and written in Go tens of thousands WebSocket connections. They would not ever need like over 100 of these servers GLOBALLY, which would cost them around $3000 monthly.

    That's the price of 60 subscriptions, which is freaking ridiculous.

  • I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car
  • You realize that maintaining a server that would allow that costs pennies?

    You wouldn't pay $150 for a lollipop, but somehow people think this is ok.

    This problem exists exactly because of people like you, thinking it's OK to pay for the features you already paid for.

  • 'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology
  • I bet in 5 next years, self-checkout registers will be equipped with neural networks allowing them to recognize product standing on it based on camera input and weight, either allowing you to pick between items it thinks it is, or entering it manually. There is already technology allowing for that, it just needs time to be developed into it.

  • They are too expensive and gimicky either way
  • Mainly GTG response time and latency. For watching movies it's generally not a problem, but when it comes to playing games with a mouse, latency can be a huge issue, and bad GTG response time leads to smearing.

    But yeah, 4x the price is ridiculous.

  • Hands-on: I’ve tried Apple’s Vision Pro and these are the five things to be most excited about - iMore
  • It's like you said projectors would replace TVs. But projectors are closer to TV than VR is to a monitor, they are more mature and much closer in price to TVs, yet most people own TV, and projectors are not common.

    VR is a niche and always will be. It's not more universal nor more practical than screen, and nothing will change that.

  • "Piracy is a service issue.." (Image is a real story btw, link in post)
  • And as always, DRMs fuck only legitimate customers, and pirates can watch anywhere at full quality.

    That's one of the reasons I don't feel bad about pirating any more. Not even the cost, but the fact that if you pay you're going to have a worse experience.
