I worked on an facial recognition system written in C++ that used SIMD optimizations to achieve 25M facial compares per core per second. On that same system I wrote an optimized ffmpeg player library that only consumed one core while doing a few hundred frames per second with 4K video.
Early on Firefox felt fast for sure (on most platforms anyway), but at some point around 4.x or 5 I wanna say it started slowing noticeably, and it would continue on that path until Quantum or thereabouts.

On OS X though Firefox always felt a noticeably more laggy and clunky than any other app it might be running alongside — something about the Mac implementation of XULRunner wasn’t optimal and it showed… even if you painstakingly skinned Firefox to match OS X perfectly visually, it still felt kinda slow and clunky. That’s why Camino, which was a Gecko browser with a Cocoa/AppKit UI came into existence, and it always felt a good deal more responsive than Firefox did.

Well, it was the American army that took over Texas, wasn't it?

A lot depends on what the local population wants, I think. The Vietnamese population didn't want to be ruled by a puppet government controlled by France the USA, hence the active armed resistance to the French and US miltary occupation (1950s-1970s). The Afghan population didn't want to be ruled by the Soviet Union, or by the United States, hence the active resistance to Russian control in the 1980s and to American control in the first two decades of this century.

Now, you could say the Americans in Vietnam tried to rape and beat the population into submission to imperial rule, and that the Soviets tried to do that in Afghanistan, and that's called wartime propaganda. The actual goals of both of those occupations were fundamentally economic in nature, but that's a taboo subject (starting a war for economic gain being a Class A War Crime in terms of international legal precedents).

It does seem pretty clear however that the Russian-speaking eastern Ukrainian/Crimean population doesn't want to be ruled by Kyiv, doesn't it? So just draw a new border and end the conflict.

Electrical transmission and distribution costs dwarf the cost of solar generation, 1x-5x the cost of solar generation, and you have to beef all that up for utility scale solar.

Also, the interconnection queues for attaching your project to the grid are getting astronomically long now, and this is one of the biggest impediments to new renewable generation. One of the most valuable assets of a coal generation sites is its connection to the grid; all the rest of facility might have negative value, but the value of the connection can offset all that.

Utility scale solar is great, until you consider how to connect it up to load.

Walking and jogging are not comparable at all. Jogging is a full on sport, walking is mode of transport with an element of healthy movement. People who frequently walk somewhere dont necessary go for jogging, only determined minority of people jog.

> Take just three trips and your day just turned into a 22 and a half hour one only factoring the walk on the home side.

The exact same thing goes if you go to the same place with a car. But, first, you did not had that healthy factor of walking. Second, if you are tired, overworked, have troubles you need to think about or want to listen some educational tape, you are becoming hazard on road as a bonus.

"Биллион" isn't a word. It does exist in the macOS dictionary (I just checked) but I've never ever seen or heard it used.

I can listen to those while walking. And if that podcast or audiobook gets interesting, it is not interfering with my ability to pay attention. The amount of people who say they are taking their language lessons or other involved listening in car is absurd on HN. But, it explains some amount of causalities.

And no, going to gym is not easier. It costs money, it is time consuming and it does not have the same effect as normal walking.
I don't know the situation of South Korea to comment on this topic. But, with the corporate industries talking too much about transparency it seems no one has come to identifying the cause of wage gap. Why not make the salary transparent across the board and the employee performance in public (internal to company) as well? People or Management say it is complicated, but is it really?

This company Buffer appeared in HN for their transparency some while ago [https://buffer.com/salary-calculator/]

We can surely determine if the wage gap is because of sexual discrimination or just a little relaxed performance.
No its not. A technology that has existed since the 70s. Had major, major supports from government, specially Japan. And yet the largest car company in the world can't sell more then a few 1000s. Its embracing failure on every level.

So when people in the real world say 'electric' they are of course referring to BEV because those are getting sold in the millions and you see them every day, while hydrogen electric is a basically a fantasy thing that 99.9% of people have never even seen.

So the smart as response of 'hydrogen vehicles are electric' is a typical "your not wrong but nobody will want to talk to you at parties" response.

Before reading this I assumed the biggest reason for Korean birthrate decline was that they don't allow enough immigrants, which is how some other developed countries handle it.

I've heard only anecdotally from friends about the feminist movements and inequality faced, but the stats in this post sort of make clear the enormous problem of gender inequality in Korea. And furthermore it contrasts Korea with how other developed countries like Sweden and France handle this situation successfully.

Very good article. Hopefully things improve.

If your criteria for selecting a mate is based on having low empathy, low agreeableness, and a preference for prevailing and competing... guess what will happen when you suggest a person with these personality traits to help with house chores, help with taking care of children, etc.

What will happen is exactly what is expected to happen based on those personality traits: you will be playing "chicken" all the time with a person that always chooses to compete and you will always lose. "If you want those tasks done, do them yourself".

If only there was a solution for that :)

On mobile (Android) it's different. You cannot continue past the warning in Firefox Daylight (or Chrome, of course).

about:config is also walled off in every mobile Firefox build except Nightly - and even then, the "safe browsing" keys toggle back every time the app restarts.

Android WebView listens to the safe browsing list too, so you can have native apps open up with blood-red warning screens which is very uncomfortable on mobile.

Don't think I've ever seen a GSB warning page that _wasn't_ a false-positive. Google also still links out to https://www.stopbadware.org/ on some of their GSB webpages, even though the site has been dead for ages.

It has the feel of a system staffed _exclusively_ by robots. This isn't necessarily a bad thing (Google does an overall good job) but it has its blind spots for sure.

Self-hosters getting sucker punched offline for a day or two isn't the worst (it happened to me just the other week). I get it, overall it's probably worth the collateral. I also get that mobile should _probably_ be protected more aggressively. But if you are on Android, I don't think there's any way to meaningfully disable it unless you are root.

> Most people selling their printer are doing so out of frustration due to paper jams or other nonsense.

Consumer printers? Sure. Highly likely. That stuff was designed to be disposable.

Business-class or Enterprise-class printers that had been used in larger offices or have low page counts? A much lower probability.

The business/enterprise stuff is meant to last because they cost a lot going out the door, and so are built robustly. You just have to ensure either a low page count, or some sort of proof that the machine had been serviced regularly by properly-certified printer techs.

Yes, it is still possible to get a lemon. But if you live somewhere with any sort of a significant metro region, you only need a little patience to find older pre-DRM hardware that is still performing well.

I have had a second-hand 4050DTN for about two decades now (liquidation sale, IIRC), and while it’s hurting for a maintenance kit (already have one, albeit in storage somewhere), it’s still running very well in all other aspects.

Whilst I don’t think that GPT-5 will be AGI this is a very poor reasoning.

“knowing what it means” isn’t measurable and if anything lately it seems like it’s more and more a coping mechanism so we can still remain special.

There is absolutely nothing currently that can prove that human intelligence isn’t just a very large LLM or that an LLM can’t model it sufficiently.

Hallucinations might actually be the missing piece we humans are full of shit and come up with crazy explanations for things all the time.

However we do have various methods of testing these explanations which we often call theories and hypotheses both through running dedicated experiment as well as just participating in the grander social experiment which is civilization.
I love the idea of clean energy. But the energy "sobriety" we have been experiencing this year in France particularly has been painful. TF1 educated the population on the nightly news on how to block our door jams to not lose energy and warmth. Villages were creating centers for people to go and stay warm. Boulangeries have been shutting down because they cannot afford the still increasing cost of energy. Whatever the plan is, it currently isn't working.
you actually can. it's expensive, but it's an option. what's the cost compared to nuclear? I'm not sure.

This might be a problem with the US? In lots of other places e.g. in Asian cities you don't need anyone.

There are so many events, attractions, opportunities etc happening just by strolling the streets. It's lively. Everything is walkable and accessible. Public transport is easy.
There is a lot more budget carrier competition, often flying in and out of secondary airports, in Europe. The US does have a few like Spirit but nothing like Europe. In Europe, there are probably more subsidies, generally it's denser, probably a higher percentage of leisure travelers, more competition from trains, fewer people likely drive, etc.

It just adds up to a lot of competition among no-frills airlines because there's a sizable group of price-sensitive travelers who are fine with talking a budget flight for an hour or two.
Social actions that lead to birth rate decline are a slippery slope that can be difficult to come back from without immigration. The economic conditions that have been forced on young people are bad enough for this. It will be a wait and see to witness if western nations are able to figure it out but so far many have thrown in the towel and are just relying on immigration now. Countries like Korea and Japan have so far resisted this in an attempt to keep their societies and cultures more homogenous, for which they have found many benefits.
unfortunately, I have heard totally normal people on multiple occasions fall back to the "well don't plants feel pain too?" argument

> The repercussions of the so-called “birth strike” have been severe for the country. For three consecutive years, the country has had the lowest fertility rate in the world, with an average of 0.78 children per woman.

How much of that can be attributed to the birth strike considering South Korea's fertility rate started its latest downward spiral in 2016 and two out of those three years had heavily-enforced lockdowns?

Over here the government passed draconian anti-abortion laws, but that didn't have an immediate effect. Other things, like economic uncertainty were the main driver.

This makes it sound like the company is your baby. 45% would mean it is not. (Also, you’re right. That’s not inherently bad, making money is helpful for keeping a company going. But it can be.)

Whether you should feel like it is your baby is the hard part, and entirely personal. Deeply subjective. You can’t take any of it with you, so you have to decide what matters while you’re here.

In 2019, the 4B movement claimed to have 4,000 members! This is 0.016% of the women in South Korea!

I'm going to assume (because I think it's very likely) that a large number of these were already not having much sex ("incels") nor planning on getting married. I'm also going to assume that many of these women who now claim they are remaining celibate are actually having sex anyway, as abstaining from sex is difficult to do (unless it comes naturally to you, in which case it's having sex that seems impossible!)

In other words, this is a human interest story about basically nothing, that tries to normalize a fringe group and freak everyone out about it. Or, to be more charitable, it's an article about something that's happening within all genders in many countries (see MGTOW in America, for example), and is also about the fact that women still aren't treated equitably in South Korea.

I don't see the point other than clicks. Beware articles about problems or trends that neglect to quantify anything.
