There was an interesting interview recently on the new nuclear power plants being built in Finland (one is by AREVA, and other is by Rosatom). Both are besieged by delays.
Problem appears to be that while tech is found to be perfectly adequate and safe, regulatory regime handling nuclear power construction has effectively been sabotaged by our green party, who sat in the government a few times at this point. They now require full vetting of the entirety of design process of the power plant down to the last designer (as in people, not just plans), arcane requirements on leadership systems within organisations designing, building and running the power plant and so on. Things that have essentially nothing to do with building and running the actual power plant.
It has little to nothing to do with safety, but it basically puts a massive bureaucratic paperwork load on every company involved, making building new power plants almost impossible. Rosatom apparently literally hired the former head of the regulatory body and several former officials to help formulate the paperwork needed, and even they couldn't do it because it was so arcane.
Morale of the story: don't underestimate the willingness and ability among the most zealous green activists to actively sabotage any form of power generation that isn't halal with their religious convictions by penetration of both elected and unelected power structures within the state and corruption of these institutions. We used to have nuclear regulatory body that was hailed as so good in handling its job efficiently without compromising safety, that it was literally getting paid by foreign governments to come and provide its expertise to them. Not any more.
They have proven him right actually. Everything from increasing grid stability issues to decommissioning costs is becoming more and more of a question mark on both wind and solar as they become less of a boutique and more widespread adopted forms of power generations.
And there are no solutions in sight to those problems as of yet.
High speed low latency variant of 5G is very low range. This is done in a hospital, which is a fairly large institution, with access to advanced technology required to maintain a surgery robot.
No matter how much you try to sell the idea of "leapfrogging landlines in developing countries", this is clearly not a case of such a leapfrogging.
It's not just that. Every large company has a department that is specifically there to maintain political compliance. This department has ability to displace anyone in the company and is staffed by CCP officials who are picked by CCP itself and company has no real power over.
That's why CEO of Huawei can openly state that government never made any requests like this to him. They didn't. They make such requests to CCP officials within the company who almost certainly handle the matter as an internal CCP policy that CEO has no real say in.
I do accept that this is what you think I was talking about. That's your severe religious fervour blocking any comprehension of what I was actually talking about, that was obvious to everyone but a handful of the faithful such as yourself.
I don't think continuing this discussion is productive. If you are to have any hope of ever breaking out of the religious insanity you're currently stuck in, it would be best if I didn't constantly trigger the defensive rejection mechanisms I'm clearly triggering in you with every post.
"Those who call me out on it when I spout utter insanity are those I have been taught to fanatically hate on political spectrum".
I'd note that not only do I not identify as a republican, but I have voted social democrat my entire life. But that's not going to do anything to a fanatic stuck in religious fervour.
It's good for the purpose. But between the massive audio lag which ruins it for anything that needs audio sync like video, and compression issues, it's far from universal.
My point is quite obvious to any non-SJW person here. I'm pointing out the fact that SJW types are so used to denying the observable reality in front of them when it opposes their religious views, that they appear to have become incapable of differentiating between lie and truth in relationship to their religion.
So they end up citing a lie to support their claims, even when the truth is literally right there to be cited instead. Because to an SJW type of a person, there is no difference between truth and lie. There's just religion to be pushed, and anything that is used to push it is simply a tool that holds the exact same value.
So to call SJW a "pathological liar" would be an insult to pathological liars. They by definition can differentiate between the two, they just can't stop telling lies because of their compulsion. SJWs simply do not see any difference between a lie and a truth. They're the exact same thing to a person stuck in that particular religion. As is demonstrated in example above, where an SJW chooses a lie over truth to cite as support for his point, when both a lie and a truth are available in the same article.
No, I'm the idiot who revealed you as the anti-science denier on slashdot, resulting in you being so exceptionally butt hurt, that you've been stalking me on slashdot for months.
And no, I'm still not calling you back for fucking you in that thread. It was a strictly one night stand.
2060 is not a mid end card. The only people who claim it is are marketing people working for nvidia. It is priced like the sweet spot cryptomining kit that was 1060 6GB mid end card when cryptomining craze was at its peak and those cards commanded 50-75% price premium over MSRP, as 1060 was being sold at x70 high end prices.
2060 is being sold at approximately x70 card price point in the past, the nvidia's high end model throughout many generations. Ergo, it's a high end card. Mid end is in the 200USD MSRP range, topping out at around 250. It is by far the most sold segment in discreet cards in terms of volume. It is where 1060, 960, 760 etc were at launch.
Now whether nvidia is doing this because their top brass bought their own cool aid and think they can make cryptoboom prices the new normal, or their well documented catastrophic situation with warehouses full of unsold 1060 chips that board partners had to return because after cryptoboom crashed, no one wanted to buy them is anyone's guess. My guess is that it's a mix of both. But none of it makes 2060 a mid end segment card. It's a high end card, replacing 1070. 1060, the actual mid end card in nvidia's portfolio doesn't have a 20x0 model equivalent (yet?). My guess, one isn't coming until they finally manage to sell as many of the warehoused 1060s left over from the cryptoboom production peak, which is likely to take a while, as no one in the production and retail chain is willing to take a massive hit from selling them at much lower margins than was reported to their shareholders, or perhaps even at loss.
No, I'm saying that he's so deranged and used to rejecting observable reality, that he literally gave an example that was a lie when several examples where his statement was truth were literally in the same story.
Which is a major problem with people who hold deeply religious convictions. They are so utterly deranged, they are no longer capable of differentiating between reality and their dogma. As a result, they'll quote a complete and utter lie as if it supports their views, when truth is right there next to the lie they utter. Because they are so used to lying in the name of their ideology, they cannot differentiate between the lie and the truth.
You have them, but you reject them, as I demonstrated above. As you are so zealous in your convictions, that you're unable to see past it even when faced with the moment when you lied in a situation where truth was literally right there for you to use instead of a lie, you're beyond help.
Unlikely. Apple's strategy is to ignore about 90% of market and go for top 10%.
In case of nvidia, that would be conceding almost all of their market share on gaming hardware market, while gaining next to nothing. They already have almost 100% of top end cornered due to AMD's lack of ability to compete in that segment at the moment. But their lion's share of sales is in the mid end market, which they are currently in an excellent position to concede to AMD with their current pricing model.
That moment when you're so deranged by social justice ideology, you link to an article that debunks your point, while pretending that it reinforces it.
Quote from the article:
>Only a limited minority took part in the armed battles. Although women were typical partisan resistance fighters in Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia and the occupied USSR, feared and as numerous as men, they were a small minority in the maquis in France.
Social Justice Warrior in action. You could have quoted Italy, Greece, Yugoslav and Soviet women, who actually were fighting in large numbers. Instead, being properly deranged by social justice ideology and made utterly ignorant of reality by it, you literally quoted the one resistance force that had but a token amount of women combatants.
If anything, nvidia got used to the cryptoboom pricing. It almost seems like people up top the company convinced themselves that those prices were the new normal.
And this has been a harsh wake up call. They price RTX cards as if they're the hottest cryptomining kit that gamers would have to compete with miners for, as happened with many of the GTX series cards.
Cryptoboom's connection isn't to prices of components any more so than cryptoboom's connection to GPUs. Problem is that companies got used to getting a better premium both on GPU end and board end, and neither want to concede this premium.
We've seen a similar problem with HDD prices after Thai floods.
Of course I'm dumb and you're smart. It's not like you didn't contradict yourself in majority of sentences you typed out in your previous post. Which I pointed out. Which you had to concede, and start grasping for straws like "error margin", which if you actually had any training in the field at all, you'd know is fit into the calculation itself when you do the modelling.
It's the religious zealots like you who think science is a religious entity and worship certain hypotheses to the point where even pointing out the obvious contradictions in them make you scream "burn the witch!" that make actual work in informing the less educated populace about this issue really hard.
Do you even realise how dumb it is to claim that "model is correct" and then literally follow it up with "model was incorrect"? Because if it's warming faster or slower than model predicted, MODEL IS WRONG. Direction is irrelevant in this regard. Model's point is to predict the outcome. If outcome falls OUTSIDE the model, model is WRONG.
Between the peripherals on the board, the board itself, and the development that goes into various optimizations, the cost of the board is fairly significant. That's what's responsible for much of pricing variation between various boards with same GPU, which can go into hundreds.
Board manufacturers did dump a lot of GPUs back on nvidia when they failed to sell them. That was in news a couple of months ago. But board manufacturers are the ones that actually put the GPUs for sale (minus the FE models). And they're the ones who decide on wholesale price. So they share blame with nvidia to a significant degree on this issue.

From derangement to straight up insanity in one post. Well done.
To a fanatic, a centrist does indeed sound like the anathema of their religion.
