Can you elaborate on the incompatibility of the newest GPUs? It looks like Nvidia publishes a Linux driver for the Blackwell series and there are a number of AI applications (like supporting Triton and pysam-based methods) which seem harder to get working on Windows than on Linux.

I'm considering switching over but I hear mixed things about Nvidia support. Some people seem to say it's a pain to get the drivers working and others seem to think that's an issue that's been resolved. Not sure what to think in terms of how difficult the switch would be.

I mean, I don't know if I can necessarily rank one of those as being worse that the other. Telling Europe that it needs to deny its own racist legacy of colonialism in order to continue dealing with the U.S. is pretty damn bad. Maybe HIV is a more modern problem, but colonialism killed a lot more Africans.

U.S. factories in most cases cannot produce goods that are competitive in a global market. Our labor costs are too high.

This idea that we can revive American traditional manufacturing of basic goods is a complete fantasy. The factories in Vietnam aren't going anywhere, because they will still be selling to the other 95% of the globe outside the U.S. Even if factories are stood up in the U.S., they will be constrained to producing higher-priced goods exclusively for the domestic market, with all the attendant inflationary impacts from start-up costs and higher labor costs.

Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs from other countries will cause the collapse of U.S. exports. We'll lose markets for the sectors where the U.S. is still competitive, like agriculture, advanced manufacturing, and even services.

Trump's approach is similar to the failed development strategy of import substitution industrialization, except in this case he thinks it will cause the U.S. to reindustrialize. In any case, it will fail for the same reasons ISI failed in Latin America.

Don't forget peppers! Hot peppers are my favorite nightshade.

It's possibly the most stupid basis for tariffs. The penalty is directly proportional to U.S. reliance on a country's imports. The countries that are the most important suppliers to the U.S. are penalized the most. It's a policy designed to cause maximum reshuffling of production, which maximizes the start-up costs of developing new factories and so on. And those factories are not going to be in the U.S. Import substitution industrialization is a failed policy and it won't work for reindustrialization either.

Yeah, but they're not being paid to uncover that particular truth. Watch them somehow lock up the journalist over this.

Based Tesla makes a car that vandalizes itself

I've got a system that removes the watermark and adds two or three bonus fingers, free of charge! Silicon Valley VC is gonna be all over this.

Absolutely. Hyundai and Kia have the best EVs by a long shot. Charge way faster than a Tesla, too.

They're already killing civilians in Lebanon and Syria, so I'm pretty sure they've already identified their next steps.

Somehow, it cantilevers the whole second floor.

By "creating something," do you mean replacing the work that a human creative would normally do? (That is, replacing an artist/writer/musician who would otherwise have the job?)

That's where I'd draw the line. I think personal use is fine but if you're affecting people's employment by using an AI that's clearly a no-go for me.

Except that the boom-and-bust cycle is inherent to markets and there's an entire cottage industry around encouraging those fluctuations in order to benefit from the arbitrage. It's a classic pump-and-dump.

Not everyone wants market stability. If you're in a position to affect the market, or react quickly to it, there is more money to be made in volatility.

Literally called my bank right after seeing this post and they waived it on the spot. The official contract provision was not until 80% LTV but this was excellent advice!

Thanks, OP. I'll raise a glass to you when I spend my extra $75/mo!

Obligatory John Malkovich

He was playing an antagonist character (way toned down but think of his character in Django) so they might have agreed with his take.

Sam kept urging Kendrick not to make a scene, not to make a fuss, just to stay nice and quiet. Clearly meant to be a baddie but likely lost on a lot of viewers.

Their point is that it's redundant. You could say ex-WoW developer, you could say WoW vet, but you don't need both.

Yes, but this article is U.S. focused and highlighting the difficulties facing those companies specifically. It should really be titled to specify the U.S. charging industry.

There is huge international momentum behind electrification and the impact of Trump's policies will be to cede our technological competitiveness in both vehicles and charging to China.

Also notable that basically the whole world condemned this plan. So I'd say it's a pretty damn broad audience who will rally against this.

What trailer? I can't see a thing.
