Looks like they work just as well for running (no reason to think they wouldn't). Seem useful to keep a certain pace without having to look down and check anything. I definitely run harder when I can see exactly how (not) fast I'm going.
"But, yeah, when you leave the city there is nothing much. "

Well, there are lots of nice lakes around. (left from open coal mining and renaturated). And if you drive a bit, you can reach quite nice mountains, for example, or other cultural interesting places, like Weimar or Dresden.

And the average village around is indeed quite right leaning, but more and more nice projects are growing as well.
It's not US-centrism in general. You said only 5% of the population is subject to the law, which made that point. If you're like "we in the EU don't do that", fine. However, you then said that the issue was the company that made your scooter was outside the US. That implies you are in the US.

Look, if I offer you a peanut-butter and raspberry jelly sandwich, and you say "I cannot eat that, I'm allergic", fine. If you say "Well, my doctor said I'm allergic to all tree nuts", I would point out peanut butter isn't a tree nut and you can still eat it. If you come back complaining about how "people aren't sensitive to raspberry allergies", I'm going to claim that was bad communication on your part.
Who is the market for this? The assumption is that you give it ASAP and people want to take it. If people aren’t interested in vaccinations they may not want it either, and the vaccines are already very effective at preventing these issues.

I learned this the hard way.

When i was around 16, i was gifted a laptop. Mind you, this was my first pc ever. Before that i was going to internet cafes.

So being the good "hacker" i was at the time, i installed Ubuntu to be like the cool kids. Few days later the motherboard got fried in my backpack. Apparently, the laptop didn't go to sleep when i closed the lid and overheated.

Still hurts.
It's interesting that they do direct electricity capture instead of the usual heat -> steam -> turbine approach. They also seem to be loaded with patents around this. I totally see why this investment might make sense and hope it works out.
You first need to ask "are data center GPUs?"

Many run completely headless and have no GPU at all, either on PCIe or in the processor.
It's the 'we can't say for sure' bit that has my full attention, the problem is that these kind of relatively rare events seem extremely improbably until they happen and given that we haven't had a pandemic of this kind of virulent pathogen with the world as closely connected and as populated as we have today that it may be that circumstances have changed enough to invalidate our past experience.

Nice story.

Overall I've been extremely unimpressed with Python's async story. They've spent a decade baking into the core of the language and the result is that it's no better than just using gevent or twisted or any of those other "old school" frameworks. Except now everyone is forced to support it because there are colored functions everywhere and you have to write library code that has to deal with all the myriad ways your stuff can be used depending on if you're in an event loop or not. It's baffling.

Async/await at the language level is a total scam. Give me Nginx+Lua and let me just write my regular procedural code and the underlying runtime will handle yielding/resuming for me.

It's called Research. It's much riskier than traditional investments and you need to know the technology deeply and have high trust in the team in order to effectively make such risky investments. But the payoffs of net-positive fusion energy are nearly incalculable. Step change in humanity type of thing.

> I spent much of my career helping companies raise money based on demos

And I've made a bunch of money sitting on my ass watching a few stocks go to the moon. Knowing how to invest in webshit or getting lucky picking stocks can make you rich much easier than R&D can make you rich. Sam isn't investing because this is the best risk-adjusted return for his portfolio. He's investing because, if it does pay out, it also very literally changes the course of humanity in the process.

> And all of those demos I worked on were smoke and mirrors, despite building quasi-functional prototypes you could interact with.

The investment isn't being made on the basis of an existing reactor. There are tons of existing fusion reactors. The investment is being made on the basis of the team's plan to get to net positive energy.

* I'd love to be wrong but they aren't make an effort to convince me otherwise*

Luckily there are other folks in this world who are willing to make risky investments in important ideas.

(BTW, no one's getting rich on fusion research until fusion works... every year the fusion community leaks a bunch of folks to finance and tech because even entry level positions pay 3x and offer more stability.)

"until this point, we didn't even talk about money"

Big mistake. For years I was desperate for a job (STEM PhD). Now it would be my first question to ask. And I ask this on the phone before I would even bother to go for an interview. But again, now I don't need your shitty job. Chances are, you need me more than I need you.

I remember when I talk to a company once on the phone. Besides that I did not really like the salary, I realized I would not be able to do the job since it was basically two jobs and their chances of success were much slimmer then they were assuming. Didn't bother to go on. But the HR guy said, please apply, worst thing that can happen is that we don't hire you. WRONG. Worst thing that can happen is that I get treated disrespectful in an interview and that I waste time. Most companies value your time with zero.

And if you applied already you ask in the first phone interview why they think you are suited for the job. You would be surprised how many people have you come in without ever having looked at your resume and then tell you that you are not a good fit based on your resume in the interview. It is basically the first time they look at it.
> You should be comfortable with just a dash of chaos. This is not the kind of job where you show up and we tell you exactly what to do every day.

Django 1.10 from this "benchmark" has been released 5 years ago (the article is from 2020). WAT?
Thanks!

I really wanted that in the app (and more filters besides), but the data source was the US Social Security administration (the easiest to access list of names I could find) [1], and it really only includes the number of people with a given name and sex for each year. To include the region / language would be a lot of data processing work that I sadly don't have time for.

Ask HN: Coping with cancer in the family
I am a software developer just like many users of the wonderful HN community and an ardent HN user myself for around 7 years . It has inspired me to pursue software Dev/Tech as a career as well as a passion beyond the office. However , today I come to HN to seek your thoughts on a non-tech related topic. My mother was diagnosed with cancer a month and half back and after two surgeries has started with the first round of chemotherapy. It has been quite a tough last few days ever since the chemo started with the common side effects of the treatment as is known. It has been really challenging going through the daily tasks at work, and am honestly finding it quite difficult to cope, seeing my mother go through this. If anyone here has ever or is going through a similar situation , I am just looking to seek some answers, on how you cope(d) and manage(d) your work and day to day schedule , and how / what you did to care for your parents. I really wish no family would've to ever go through this. But its life I suppose and we have to accept it and learn to deal with it. I am just learning to , and am looking for some direction here, so I can do my best to balance a job and take care of my family through this time.
Yes, he also uses "On Killing" to support his argument for video games. It is a very fascinating (and disturbing) book. But most of the book is focused on the changes in military training that led to the increase in "shoot to kill" between WWII and Vietnam.

In addition to the military training the book also talks about dis-association of killing through different methods and how that increased the "shoot to kill". The basic argument is that it is easier to kill someone when seeing them at a distance through the scope of a rifle than being right next to them and stabbing them. The other part of the dis-association is campaigns to dehumanize the enemy in war and not refer to them or acknowledge that they are individual humans.

The video games argument in "On Killing" isn't part of the main thesis of the book, it is more tacked on the end. Whereas the rest of the book is looking at the past and evidence of what has happened. The video game part of it was (at the time) more focused on current feelings and attitudes towards it and was not substantiated.
> But this cannot work in theory. A population cannot grow if its only nutrient input comes from dead members.

That’s the point your missing. The nutrient input is coming first from the sunlight. The phytoplankton nutrient for the krill is limited by the available iron.

> Sunlight is a source of power; by assuming unlimited sunlight input we can rearrange as much material as we want, but we can't add or subtract any.

Photosynthesis creates nutrients at the base of all food webs (except deep sea geothermal vents) It’s able to allow plants to take carbon dioxide out of the air and fix it as a source of chemical energy. The sunlights radiative energy then is converted to chemical energy which then acts as a nutrient for other living things. The nutrient addition is literally arriving out of thin air. (C02 into sugars)

However, organisms and in this case the phytoplankton doing that photosynthesis, are limited by specific nutrients, otherwise known as regulating factors. [1] In this case sunlight, carbon dioxide, etc would allow for massive growth of phytoplankton in the ocean. However, even given unlimited amounts of those, the phytoplankton will hit a growth wall when it runs out of iron.

That iron, in this case, was locked up in vast amounts of krill. Krill from my knowledge can live up to 10 years. So that means that a balance will be reached between the krill and phytoplankton in terms of population densities and where that limiting nutrient of iron is stored.

Whales change that limiting nutrient balance. By eating the krill and releasing the iron, the phytoplankton is able to increase its growth rate.

Krill then, feeding on the phytoplankton blooms will reproduce quicker. Iron that was once locked up in krill for 10 years allows faster reproduction rates of new krill.

The energy input that allows both populations to grow in this scenario is the sunlight. Again, the iron is only a limiting factor. The limiting factor is not 100% of the energy input. The iron is not “used up” meaning it’s availability to allow increased photosynthesis remains.

The end result is that a significantly larger proportion of sunlight is captured and converted to living matter which allows a net positive gain in both populations. This is possible because the regulating factor for increased photosynthesis is maintained in the ocean at higher levels with whales.

Maybe someone should do an app-name app.
I felt the same way as you. I like to focus on one thing.

I think it's more psychological than actual

Amen. Absolutely 100% this for me. I just completed an engineering job search that took about four weeks.

I did ~40 phone/video calls for ~10 companies. Admittedly ~10 of those calls were simple screener calls which basically just check to see if you have a pulse and can speak in complete sentences. If those two things are true the recruiter shifts into "salesperson mode" and tells you how great the company is and gets you scheduled for the "real" interview(s). So let's call it ~30 "real" calls.

Emotionally this was extremely exhausting for me. I'm the type of person that is very sociable but needs time to recharge afterward because I put a lot of energy into each interaction.

But, I'm typing this to perhaps give you some hope!

The process was very difficult for me in the beginning but it did get easier in the end. With each call I could feel myself getting a little better at it and I felt a little more relaxed.

I think these sorts of numbers are just the reality now. Even though the current market is GREAT for software engineers, the remote-only shift means that there are a LOT of candidates for every job.

It feels like there are 1,000,000 jobs and 500,000 candidates which is theoretically good for us except that we're competing against all 499,999 of the other candidates for every single job hahaha
So are the people who land in that numerator - a correlation that's not permitted in the public discourse apparently.
This drug might actually save the patient from the risk of dying from covid. It would be the same for the vaccine: the vaccines reduce the risk from dying.
I understand what the article is saying but there’s still a something I’m missing. All I want (for my admittedly simple service) is to be able to send multiple api calls or database calls in parallel rather than one at a time to reduce overall endpoint latency.

I guess I should be using a normal synchronous framework that just calls asyncio.run within each api call?
I’m honestly baffled by your take. Are you suggesting whatever ecosystem you move to is hinged on your ability to forgo 2FA? That’s like only hooking up with people who don’t require me to wear a condom. I can’t imagine living my life with that much risk. Even if I move from Google, 2FA is the first thing I’m setting up.

Somehow this heterogeneous architecture makes little sense to me since the i9 as a whole consumes lots of power - about 250W - significantly more than previous generation of Intel processors. This also introduces an irking complication with the thread scheduler. I thought the whole idea behind adding E cores was to save power and deliver good-enough performance.
Why even bother when you could just have fewer symmetrical cores like P10.

Fastest Bitboard Chess Move Generator
It's a good thing we're all here on HN to question the safety of novel pharmaceuticals. If we weren't, maybe nobody would, and we'd all just be putting prions into ourselves.

If you have something specific about this particular molecule to talk about vis a vis safety, that's an interesting comment to make. But "aspirin is a molecule but so is Mad Cow Disease so we had better be careful about new drugs" is just about the most boring, banal comment you can make. Drugs: can they be unsafe??? We'll have more at 11!

We need more Derek Lowe-type drug safety discussion here, and a lot less of whatever this is.
I am wary of stories like this. What you’re saying is probably true true in specific cases in the most populous cities in the country, but I don’t think it’s a general policy that makes sense across the board.

I live in South Carolina & their Department of health website has great data. As of today, there are currently 551 Covid patients hospitalized statewide. 1280 ICU beds are occupied for a 76% utilization rate. Of those beds, 150 are Covid patients. That means 88% of folks in ICU are non-covid related.

https://scdhec.gov/covid19/covid-19-data/acute-hospital-bed-...

This data doesn’t exactly corroborate what your saying. The way you tell it, the ICUs are still overflowing with Covid, and they just aren’t. Not in SC at least. And we’re not exactly known for our stringent Covid restrictions.

And Monoclonal antibodies are not widely rolled out. This is not relevant.
> The memory model should explicitly forbid this optimization, especially if you use an explicit memory ordering with your loads and stores.

It has no reason to. Reading the same location twice, even atomically, has no “reason” to change the value so reusing the same read is perfectly valid.

If there is an other operation between the two and that has a sequencing implication then yes, otherwise no.

> In your example of `volatile_read(); volatile_read()`, the compiler is not allowed to optimize or reorder the loads but the CPU is still allowed to reorder them with each other

If there are memory reads then sure but i’m assuming actual mmio here (since volatile is otherwise useless) and i’d think an mmio implementation which reorders mmio reads is completely broken.
Completely agree with this. This is throwing money at an interesting problem with an incredibly low outcome of success.

Given the amount of public dollars already put into this without success and the amount of money they are going to have too continually pour into this to make it successful it seems like a serious hail mary. Even if they do have the brightest minds working on it. I wish them the greatest success - we need this.

To your point it's an incredibly privileged investing position to be in and to be honest - he can take a lot of the gains he has already had in relatively uninteresting companies that have been successful and hope to something truly remarkable for humanity.
First and foremost I like hooks libraries and think there should be more of them. That said when looking at their examples this appears to require exactly the same code you would need anyways, but with the additional boilerplate required by the library. Is the goal to add intellisense for people who don't already know how to write accessible front ends? Is the goal to enable me to use a div as a button via hook instead of writing semantic HTML? Not trying to be rude but honestly not seeing the value add outside maybe the FocusScope's restoreFocus and there is no way that works 100% as expected in the wild.

IMO the community is much better served by tools that help you identify accessibility gaps during the design phase, experience your application in other usage paradigms, or audit third party packages for accessibility before taking them as dependencies. If you work with designers who love hover triggered tooltips with forms with more tooltips inside them this library cannot fix the fact that you're making a terrible experience. If you want to npm install React-ported Kendo components because you "remember they worked well with jQuery" this library will not make them accessible. Turn voiceover on, turn your screen off, eat your own dog food.

What's worse "accessibility helper libraries" like this often get used as an excuse to say "of course we made this accessible look at all the helpers in the code" but the team never actually audits to see what the experience is like (hint: your Lighthouse accessibility score does not indicate WCAG compliance), and surprise surprise they've incorrectly implemented the helpers in a way that actually degrades the experience. Then they pay my agency a lot of money to hurry up and do it the right way before the NFB lawsuit drops.
