i suspect that trump wants to duplicate melei's success with the tariff threats and; if it works; it will solidify him as a popular president.

Anarcho-capitalists are just oligarchists or neo-feudalists who don't want people to realize that the more you weaken liberal democracy the stronger the billionaire class becomes

This kind of meme, as well as 'ACAB', calls out systemic issues. I agree that you can punctually do good as an individual cop, but you are still going to be controlled by and subjected to a fascist organization, participate in their quotas, arrest people for breaking arbitrary and racist laws, and so on. Also anyone can internalize racism, as recently evidenced by that poor lieutenant governor Robinson.

Nvidia's anti-competitive monopoly should be broken up over this API.
The fact AMD was visibly scared to even be associated with this project is a big fucking hint to regulators that CUDA is vendor lock-in tool which Nvidia guards at all costs.

Is that why they prevented it from being open sourced? I thought I read a while back that they just wanted to keep the code in-house.

Or I think dump truck tyres are bigger? Bridgestone or Michelin

in reply to JohnDClay • • •Fun fact (eh...more like barely recollected memory, likely to be wrong to some extent) -
The tires on those big ass haul trucks are seriously dangerous as they reach end of life - a blowout on something that size is real violent. Far as I know, they've got a ton of instrumentation these days to keep track of conditions and remaining life, etc.

in reply to YonderEpochs • • •On our mine we have a lot of systems to protect the tyres, and they are inspected regularly. Like if you overload your truck the truck will go automatically into creep mode to protect the tyres. We also have specialised services on site to inspect any damages and wear to ensure safe usage of the tyres, scrapping them way before the expected life span, usually at 50-60%. Repairs are also done but only if the tyres are not structurally damaged.
But proper standoff distance usually prevents any people or machinery coming into any dangerous situation of a tyre blowing out. The real danger of these huge trucks, we have the 350 Tonnes version, its collisions, can so easily drive over almost anything without knowing, so that is why we have a very far standoff distance, 80-100 meters to ensure no one gets too close. Also we have a collision avoidance system where the truck switches off when anything gets nearby
