You're incorrect, it benefits the community, it just doesn't benefit Red Hat. From the early days of CentOS, rebuilds of RHEL contributed stripping the trademarks. It's a significant effort in it's own right -- ensuring that you're doing 1 for 1.

Edit: I would argue that it also does benefit Red Hat in second-order effects. An increased community using Alma/Rocky (and previously CentOS) means more finding bugs and fixing bugs. I know at least two companies that would still be on Debian if not for CentOS circa 2010-2011.

I'm out of touch with them so I have no idea where they went after CentOS stopped being CentOS, but I doubt it was RHEL.
Looks great and I like the variety!

Feature request: I wish the table supported basic sorting and maybe even filtering out of the box, I find these useful in the dashboard context. Perhaps I’m not seeing it, or maybe there’s a way to add this easily?
The article is very low on details: what does the regulation contain? what are github and huggingface lobbying against specifically?

> we really redoubled our efforts to make sure that they were not inadvertently imposing expectations (...) onto open source developers who are often hobbyists, nonprofits or students

That's about as much info as we get.

Personal/controversial opinion: neural network approach to technology should be entirely banned as it has very bad results and very high computational cost. I don't care that the LLM model hallucinating answers to my serious questions is open source (whatever that means in the context of neural nets, that's another debate), the harm is done anyway. I still do appreciate that "open-source" neural nets could continue to exist as a research field, but that any regulator considers allowing Google/Microsoft/OpenAI to clearly lie to the public using their artificial stupidity is way beyond me.
In a WFH or occasional-office-visit basis, that's more tractable as the trip wouldn't be made on a daily basis.

Though another option is to both densify development near stations and to create a well-functioning feeder transit system to service areas further out. If those can operate at, say, 35 mph / 55 kph average speed, and assuming a 5 minute walkable commute to the work endpoint (jobs are easier to cluster near stations than housing), and with well-timed transfers, then the feed-in distance could be up to about 15 miles / 23 km from the actual HSR station.

Note that average speed is usually about half of top speed, so these would be relatively high-speed commuter-rail systems. Note that the typical average speed of an urban bus, say, is about 5-15 mph (8-24 kph).
I'm a graduate of ECE. I've a decent background of circuits but I'm no expert at it. I'm a noob-intermediate at these stuffs. Not my first time doing circuit analysis. I can take this exam at any time I wish. So, I am not in a hurry.
Yes. My interpretation is there had been a problem of population and economic growth on Earth:

The world population had doubled by 2020 from 1980, while US population grew only 1.5x. US GDP had grown 10x, world 3x. So the world had shrank at least 1/2, and the US both had to earn more influence and had gained more leverages during these years. It would not be surprising if seemingly overly litigious and possessive culture both in the US and world at large were mere symptoms, than cause.

It's time to, either have a global thermonuclear war for a proud rewind(please no, I could be sitting far enough to die liquefying over weeks when suns appear over), or to boldly go where no one has gone before.
If I understand correctly how the GIL works, the change will only affect libraries with native componentsml. Everything that's pure python will continue to work unchanged.
"Rule 5. As a blow is strictly prohibited under any circumstances among gentlemen, no verbal apology can be received for such an insult. The alternatives, therefore -- the offender handing a cane to the injured party, to be used on his own back, at the same time begging pardon; firing on until one or both are disabled; or exchanging three shots, and then asking pardon without proffer of the cane. "

So, slapping someone in the face is such an ungentlemanly offense that the only civilized way to make amends is to get beaten with cane and/or shot at.

The 1700s must've suuuuuucked.
The document referenced in the link specifically advises to not set up stops between but to build transit from stops to the major stations.

Spreading the density out from the major stations along the route is exactly what sprawl is. I’m not sure I understand how it can be any other way. By making the urban cores more attractive and able to access other urban cores you encourage density growth in and around that core. Encouraging growth along the corridor encourages lower density construction over more land area. That’s what sprawl is.

Finally why does it not make sense to only stop in the most dense cores of the region? The whole point of high speed rail is to be high speed. Each stop slows the train. Spur transit brings people from around the region to the transit hub. Most of the economic activity happens in and around these urban cores and most transit across the corridor is between the cores. Building services to commuter communities certainly relieves density pressure on the cores, but that only really helps people who would live in the urban core but for whatever reason can’t afford or doesn’t want to live there. Their commute pattern is from their suburban sprawl commuter community to their proximate core. Spur regional transit can handle that if it’s a priority. (See seattle light rail plans)
I think you’re mistaken, at least about the French revolution. It was carried out by rich people, looking for more power, making use of a common and regular occurence of popular uprising (Jacqueries, in political science, is the name of those quite common « revolutions »).

Royalty does not necessarily cause misery, Sweden, Spain, the UK are all monarchies. Colbert and Louis XIV built a lot of foundations that you know France for today; even later non-democratic regimes such as the Second Empire (Napoleon III and Haussman) structured the Paris that brings tourists the world over…

The French revolution - that I know of - led to the invention of restaurants because rich people from remote cities came to Paris and wanted to live the fastuous life they envied from nobles. Social cleansing? Nothing of the sort, social exploitation as always, from where money and power came as always.
There’s a Costco in downtown Vancouver, it’s great. I just use a cart to pull my groceries home rather than taking my car and parking (it is next to the hockey and football stadiums and shares underground parking). Sometimes I just walk in to grab the eight dollar rotisserie chicken.

They are however actively removing crossings and generally everything HSR is electrified.
I am a lurker. I have zero followers, and as such writing the nth comment on a Tweet with often n>100 is pointless, even before Musk took over.

I also don't have the time or the energy to put out quality content. It is draining to put out good content and have a handful of moaners criticise it in a toxic manner.

It is even worse if they criticise your content, because 3 years ago you said something about Musk/Tesla that wasn't 100% positive.
If you want an example of "inside the bubble" it's thinking any of the social media channels, private or not for profit represent a realistic cohort of community engagement comparable to "the people have spoken"

It's some people, sometimes, in some contexts, saying some things which go to opinion. It's no better or worse than a radio or TV "vox pop" and equally biassed. Or that eternal source of truth "the man in the street you met in the pub that time" or a taxi driver.

I think it's social cancer and I regret ever participating and taking it seriously. It certainly caused me harm, to my own sense of self and to personal relations and trust.

Do yourself a favour and drop out. By all means stay if you enjoy it, but at least drop out of any belief and claim its a true expression of public views in the wide.
> You could argue there's a weird veneration of dang, which I do find kind of odd,

I’ve managed a (small) community myself, back in the day. Dang is no superhuman, but managing the cats’ bag HN is, with so few terrible events and so many interesting discussions is impressive. The community is more or less self-selected; you have to be in circles where HN is known, and you have to appreciate a text-only website with only links and opinionated discussions. Still, the fact that it works at all is great, and this is due in no small part to the moderation (not only dang, but he’s the most visible). From that perspective, some degree of admiration is not surprising or odd.

> The economic upsides of AI look like they will be huge.

There are many ways to interpret this sentence. What did you mean?

If you mean a stupid robot can automate most office jobs, i don't disagree (most of these jobs are entirely useless to begin with, anyway). However is that an upside? History has shown our State/corporate overlords are not too fond of ensuring jobless people have a decent life.
thats cool! Is there any project that does this for other architectures?

Seems these guys never learn from the Python 2 -> 3 mess. GIL to NoGIL is even worse. Most changes from Python 2 to 3 are syntactic, but GIL to NoGIL could require a complete redesign and rewrite. Either it takes another 10+ years migrating OR nobody with a realistic production codebase with 10k dependencies can turn this No-GIL thing on.

This is not true. JSR-133 was one of the first and most prominent implementation of memory model among general purpose languages. You don't seem to know enough about the platform and it's history to make definite statements like that, imo.
Here's what's puzzling me about this:

Why then is there even a need for a seperate nogil build? If it is like this says, wouldn't it be easier to just make the standard build switch to gil or nogil automatically (or honor the users choice).

The fact that the SC thinks having two versions suggests there is more complexity involved than this section of the PEP leads readers to believe.
WhatsApp is end to end encrypted, this has been proven in actual court in my country. Everyone here uses it for everything every day. Never before have so many people used something that is this secure by default.
GitHub would not be relevant in this respect because:

* It's owned by a (single) commercial corporation, Microsoft.

* There is censorship both by content and in some respects by country of origin.

* The code is closed.

but otherwise it's an interesting idea.

The C++ standardization committee uses GitHub to track papers submitted to them, see:

I understand your point, but strong disagree from experience.

What do you think happens to people who want to do good by approaching positions of power? In my experience, friends who became teachers or cops, they either became evil/abusive themselves, or they were pushed into depression by social exclusion and either left or killed themselves. These are some of the jobs with the highest suicide levels, precisely because some people came to do good while realizing the systems in place made it entirely impossible.
Tesla's sales of approximately 4.5 million vehicles have each offset about 20 tons of CO2 over their lifetimes compared to a traditional gas vehicle [1]. This equates to preventing a total of 90 million tons of CO2 from entering our atmosphere. As we continue to transition to renewable energy, the environmental benefits of each Tesla vehicle are set to increase further.

In contrast, a SpaceX launch generates around 300 tons of CO2 [2], totaling about 72,600 tons of CO2 for the 242 launches to date. We mustn't forget the wide-ranging benefits these launches provide, from improved weather forecasting and GPS services to crewed missions to the International Space Station.

If we subtract the CO2 emissions from SpaceX launches from the CO2 savings attributed to Tesla, we see a net savings of about 89,927,400 tons of CO2.

90,000,000 / 72,600 = 1,240x

The emissions from his remaining companies are comparably negligible. Furthermore, this calculation doesn't account for Tesla's influence on the automotive industry, propelling other manufacturers to accelerate their production of EVs. As Tesla's sales continue to rise and EVs become more accessible through Tesla's charging network, these benefits will be multiplied. Also, this doesn't factor in the positive environmental impact of Tesla's energy division, which likely offsets the emissions from all of his other companies on its own.

The one wrinkle here is if the sample we saw actually was pyrolytic carbon and someone simply mislabeled a vial when looking for something to shoot the video with.

At the extreme end of big news, stupid things can happen (I've worked in a lab: people suck at labelling things they make).

Don't forget the pedophiles.
First of all, these changes are not being introduced because of a committee. They are being introduced because a way to get true thread-based parallelism in Python has been one of THE top priority demands of a huge part of the Python developer community for ages.

> “but now I have to rewrite my library because some people might use it in non-GIL mode”.

Yes, if library maintainers want their library to remain relevant, they will need to accomodate what the languages developer community uses. This is true for all languages. If they don't want to, that's okay, the community will come up with new libraries.

> the committee making these decisions gives zero ducks about the impact this will have

If they were giving zero ducks, they wouldn't make it backwards compatible, nor would there be a command line option to control the behavior.

>Pypi has what, 500k projects on it? Many abandoned.
>
>Whom exactly is going to update those?

Languages that base decisions on the update behavior, or lack thereof, of library maintainers, effectively freeze themselves.

And why exactly is the update behavior of abandoned packages a problem? They are abandoned anyway.

> Like, sure… it’s a good change for many people… once all the hard work is done by the community.

The people who want to get rid of the GIL are part of the Python development community. Many of them are library developers themselves.
I have read elsewhere that there are ways for rail development to capture some of the increase in land value, in order to offset the cost of the development. I do not have any pointers though.
I think most people are just gonna ignore whatever this law is. There’s fatigue for sure.
Who do you propose dictates wages by profession?

We need far more teachers than lawyers and the skills required to, say, teach second graders, are not as advanced as those required to pass the bar exam. I’m all for public support of teachers, but it’s easy to say you don’t value a lawyer until you need one. Having fewer and worse lawyers means we will have worse laws and more injustice.

To wit, public defenders make on average slightly less than a teacher. Given the quality of justice you can expect from a public defender, and the severe lack of them, is this a positive outcome? If you were accused of something falsely would you voluntarily use the public defender vs hiring the best you can afford?
A hugely divisive protestant celebration of the occupation and ascendency of England over Ireland in 1690.

It's an impressive bonfire. It celebrates sectarianism. Not unlike November 11 it's got unpleasant overtones.

I wonder what level of fire safety distancing they do, and how it scales linearly or non linearly to size. I could believe this size of fire would loft burning materials for miles and affect air quality, as well as the environment. It's industrial pallets often.
And it is an awful existence. People do it for the chance to earn more money, but I would not wish that quality of life on my enemies.
You skipped my comment on "cultural".

Race is entirely a social construct. You can't do a genetic test and with certainty determine someone's race. Certain genetic traits are common among what we call races, but not exclusive.

Take a look at services like 23andMe or other services, the genetic components of race are entirely based on self-reporting, that is, we call certain genes "Asian" because people who identify as Asian had those.

It's entirely tautological.

As much as I tend to lean towards your standpoint, you do know that there's ML/AI beyond LLMs, right? A lot of it is fairly mundane stuff like being able to analyze a human-written sentence for grammatical structure (NLP).

>Apple has claimed that they don’t allow China to intercept communications using these keys. They’ve said on the record to the WSJ that they don’t do any combination of these things, and they left very little wiggle room in their denials

There's wiggle room in what you wrote: "Apple doesn't allow China to intercept communications, China just does it on their own" for example is a way to parse that sentence.
Do you mean actual databases like MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, MongoDB?

Or more user oriented databases like HubSpot, Salesforce CRM, Microsoft Access?
I think it's time we accept the fact that AI will mean the end of capitalism. The system won't be viable anymore once there's no more need for labor.

Where we go from there is up to us.

If we don't do anything, we'll end up with neofeudalism, with the already rich concentrating power more and more, no longer kept in check by pesky labor movements.

Alternatively, we can fight to try to establish a kind of star trek space socialism, where everyone's needs are met and nobody needs to work anymore - people would be free to follow their passions while computers do all the busywork.

Dystopia or Utopia, that's the decision we'll be making over the next few years. The status quo will disappear either way.
They might have known everything already before ;)
I ended up going to Belfast the weekend of the bonfires without knowing it existed beforehand--was a totally surreal experience. The largest man-made fires I'd ever seen right in the middle of the city streets, armored cars driving around, not many safety protocols. Kids were drinking buckfast and climbing to the top of skinny stacks that had to be over 100 feet tall.

I would definitely recommend checking it out to anyone that can.

AI-Aggregated Newsletter from 50 Sources
Sure but in my experience, these people rarely get promoted to positions of power. A lot of the well-meaning people end up as low-level political puppets because they don't see the evil that's happening right before their eyes; the reason is because good people fail to comprehend the motivations behind evil and that makes them blind to it.

There is a lot of denial like "No, that's not possible, such and such would never do such an evil thing, what would they gain out of it?" The fact that you're a good person may be the reason why you do not see the motive or do not understand its significance. Some people really want total control, they want it really really badly. They could be a billionaire, a president and yet their first for more power is stronger than a person lost in the desert thirsts for water.

> Naiive question: Who needs No-GIL when we have asyncio and multiprocessing packages ?

1. Because asyncio is completely useless when the problem is CPU bound, as the event loop still runs only on a single core. As the name implies, it is really only helpful when problems are IO bound.

2. Because sharing data between multiple processes is a giant PITA. Controlling data AND orchestrating processes is an even bigger pain.

3. Processes are expensive, and due to the aforementioned pain of sharing data, greenlets are not really a viable solutions.
Usually, when you see dang replying to someone, he's reminding them of the HN guidelines and very gently and patiently explaining that they're violating said guidelines. The implication I tried to make was that I had violated the guidelines at least once, dang had replied to me and I had agreed with him that I was in the wrong.

I don't disagree with your observation though. I have developed this habit of explicitly saying "I agree" before elaborating to defend against such misinterpretations of intent.
