Unlocking Performance: CPython 3.12 Global Interpreter Lock
I was initially excited about the possibility of disabling the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) in Python 3.12, as it promised to enable new opportunities for performance gains. It's true, however we have so many options already! Disabling the GIL would only allow for the use of threading patterns and threads within Python, which I am not a fan of this programming pattern. My preferred method for achieving high concurrency and efficient programs is to use multiple processes with message passing.
The sun is a pretty ordinary star. It's not nearly so small that it should be demoted or we would be rewriting our entire stellar classification system.
This paper looked familiar to me, and it turns out it's because it's part of the 4th edition of Readings in Database Systems (or the Red Book). The 5th edition is freely available to read online, and is worth the read/skim.

> if I was 40+ and met someone who hadn't experienced that in this day and page it's probably more likely they had also had some social hang up that you just haven't learned about.

Can confirm. Am 35 and never dated and had MAJOR issues.

The part that sucks is it also basically means I can never date. I'm much healthier now and could probably be a decent partner (part of the reason I never dated before is I was aware that I wasn't in a space to be a good partner), but nobody is interested in a 35 year old woman with no experience so it's not going to happen.

We're in a situation where people should date even if they can't handle a relationship because if they don't, they'll be too old and locked out altogether.
Work != socializing. Quality work requires deep concentration over long stretches of time, not tapping on a shoulder at random intervals. Both IRL and virtually.

> If it is built to last a 1000 years or more, ~25% of internet traffic by the end of the first 30 years isn't a terrible rollout curve.

I don't think that measuring the rollout curve relative to the expected lifetime of the thing is reasonable (or at least, useful), though. In terms of something like this, measuring it relative to when IPv4 is simply no longer feasible is better. And that time is very, very near.
While it is not strictly necessary in all scenarios, I think you will just not be able to get efficient circuits if you do not have a sense of what type of logic your verilog code snippets map to.

I honestly believe that if you do not understand at least some basics, things will be way more painful and opaque than necessary, so it is a no-brainer IMO.

You also do not need to have an FPGA to learn this stuff.

Can't say for sure, given that my sample size is one.

The upsides of DSL(Domain specific languages) and macros in general is that they cut down on code duplication and give everyone using them a common language and set of tools on which to build an app. That part is awesome and I think really helped to speed up development of the algos that were built on top of the DSL.

The downside is, that you need to learn the DSL but that's a very small impact in my experience. THe larger downside as you and I point out is that those tools aren't really there for other languages so if you do plan on porting the code base to another language then maybe steer clear of macros.

But again, I wouldn't say I have anywhere near enough experience to claim to be an expert in that.

>20 out of 20.

tbf, if you meant the full workforce it's never going to be 100%, there's so many jobs that require physical presence out of necessity.

There's maybe some jobs where you could also argue it's required.

Emergency surgery, police, paramedics, electricity grid maintenance, plenty jobs where there's simply no WFH angle.

I'd totally agree that personality types would also clash from WFH, so it's definitely not the definitive solution, but it works for a lot of people.
Hey idk if Rich reads HN but if you do thank you for being a huge inspiration to me when I first started programming around 2014. You've helped change the world for the better. Cheers!

Agree, though sometimes the hours of head banging will benefit greatly to the skills of said junior.

That aside, everyone should be encouraged to ask to company's developer forum (slack channel). That way, if the senior that's responsible to train the junior is busy, other less busy senior can help.

On an FPGA, it will infer a dual-ported BRAM memory just fine. On ASIC, it will generate a flip-flop array, which is good enough for many CPUs.

E.g. in this physical layout of a Swerv RISC-V CPU, the ARF section is the register file, built out of flip-flops: https://tomverbeure.github.io/2019/03/13/SweRV.html#swerv-ph....
The problems of "public-private partnerships" and use of corporate services by government utilities are the perverse incentives and gamification that arrises from greed. This is something a nonprofit or the government should run, not a corporation. Personally, I dislike all DRM virtual checkout bullshit and would rather have either a DRM-free ebook or the physical book. And if no DRM-free ebook exists, I consider buying a copy, scanning it, and releasing it online.

I'm the "tech guy" at my church. I've had no less than SEVEN Comcast sales people hassle me over the past couple of years about "upgrading" to fiber. They even had our pastor talked into to it for a second. "It's the same price!" "Yeah, for a TENTH of the speed as coax." Luckily, he finally saw through this. I keep asking them to leave me alone, but the sales staff turns over every 3 or 4 months, and then someone new goes through the customer list all over again. I kind of get it. A new company is laying fiber all over the city, and pre-selling the service at MUCH lower pricing, so Comcast sees another market about to slip through their fingers.

For the record I have not used a credit union for close to 10 years so this may be different now.

But there is something to be said about having an actually usable banking website, modern ATMs, and most importantly some support options during non business hours when something goes wrong.

Also being able to reliably find a branch if you are traveling.

While you can argue that support at a credit union may be better when you can get it, there are real advantages to going with a major bank.

Also as someone else said... the fees, minimum balances, etc were ridiculous.

Also for the record, I only tried one but I really didn't feel like making the jump to another bank if the second one didn't work out well.
At that point you just use a much simpler reverse proxy, I think? NATs have to be stateful to operate, but in IPv6 you can do a lot with simpler stateless reverse proxies.
Seeing the signs near the Golden Gate Bridge about how it's painted (EDIT: like a decade ago) made me think that it'd be a good idea to use drones to paint it. I explored that idea a bit deeper but it never went anywhere. There are/were some attempts at painting drones. I still think it'd be cool and could be made to work ;)

I always think this take is interesting.

I haven't dated before because I did have major issues. I'm much healthier now, but because I was respectful and opted not to date when I would have been a disaster, I am now an untouchable red flag.
There's been a few "over-eager" findings these last few years. Skepticism is warranted; if LK-99 is a superconductor it will still be one after six months' peer review.
I fully agree. A math PhD without any practical skills (programming, ML, etc.) isn't that useful for the jobs market. When I mentioned hubris is my parent comment, I was kind of referring to this: the sense among PhD students was that we could easily jump into industry because a math PhD is so valuable. But this was very, very wrong.

> That means the FTC has negotiated a settlement where the distress caused by harassing the same person 100 times in a row, day after day over the period of a few months, merits the measly penalty of $1.25.

Honest question: why can’t the victims sue the company for harassment? (or rather a lawyer start a class action). I’m sure a jury trial would award very large damages, or is this protected by free speech in the US?
As a new parent who has to watch their finances fairly closely, the children's programs at our local library is amazing. It's great to have a free activity to take our little kiddo to where they can interact with other kids. While we're there, we check out a board-book or two to take home.

It's also bringing us, the parents, back into the library again. I sometimes go to the library for a kids book, but then I check out something for myself to read. I've frankly falled out of the loop of reading fiction (and I had no idea how to find things I think I'd like), and it's been a nice way to build up a reading habit again.

I'd also been using the Libby app for audiobooks for a while, which is topical.

I generally disagree with this article, mostly tone - but also conclusions too.

What other options were there for the Allies?

By 1943 the Germans had mostly successfully moved their production to small workshops, which were often in cities. This is also in the long shadow the Blitz cast, which inflicted not dissimilar damage to London.

If London was a valid Military Target in 1940, then Hamburg was certainly one in 1943.

To quote from wikipedia about sessions learned by the British the Blitz "From 1943 to the end of the war, he [Harris] and other proponents of the area offensive represented it [the bomber offensive] less as an attack on morale than as an assault on the housing, utilities, communications, and other services that supported the war production effort."

They do get one thing correct however - the horrors of the Nuclear Bomb are not that unique, many many more were killed, in Europe and Pacific theaters by firebombing (I'll point folks at the firebombing of Tokyo as a starting point) as the than were killed by nuclear bombs.

Both Germany and Japan violated the normal, commonly understood rules of war - we responded, in ways that, could be argued to have an ethical shadow - and while I dont consider these acts unethical (including the nuclear bomb), they're not ethically clean - they're a gray area that can only be justified in context.

We have this mental narrative of war that its this clean thing, either black or white, just or unjust - and thats not reality, war it dirty, even when its just and good - for a good reason, it means much death and killing, it leaves indelible stains on those who fight, and those who survive for the rest of their lives. To present otherwise is foolish and lying to ourselves.
The unit cell apparently has:

1 Copper atom
25 oxygen atoms
6 Phosphorous atoms
9 lead atoms

There are many ways to arrange these constituents.

It’s hard to create the environment where they want to go exactly where you hope over a large volume. Sometimes this level of precision requires atomic control of layer growth and extreme temperature management. That’s why the methods list days between steps to get the atoms diffusing, and that’s for a few micrograms of material.
Sounds cool! I'm looking forward to the Show HN. Would definitely recommend recording a video of it in action. A video makes it much easier to understand what the tool can do.

> They didn't keep it, they simply did not work on it and only came back to it 20 years later (somebody posted a bit of history on the other thread currently on the front page, I'm on mobile so it takes to long to find it atm). They didn't know about it's superconducting properties either.

I really do hope it's something innocent like this.

> if everyone would be posting out every little bit of information they produce during their research instead of publishing articles it would be a disaster.

I'm not sure it would be any worse than it already is. I don't see how we could achieve any more bombastic headlines than we already get.
My bank is in Texas. I live in Massachusetts. I think in over 30 years, that’s been a mild inconvenience exactly once and otherwise “no difference detected”. (The once was an overnight delay to get a cashier’s check for something, probably a car purchase.)
That the atmosphere is mostly hydrogen doesn't make for easy ballooning. There isn't really a gas much lighter to provide lift. It also begs the question of 'why'. Everywhere you look, there is only wind, and no minerals to repair things with.
Can’t you already do this using their online account transcript? I’m not yet comfortable using that as the source of truth at this current time but it seems like they do let you at least view what was sent to them albeit in pretty raw form. It looks like all the forms are converted into dot-matrix printed text documents.
I manage a few rather large k8s clusters during the day and I don't understand what this is or why I'd need that without reading too much. If I read too much I switch off. This is a side effect of the emotional damage from managing a few rather large k8s clusters during the day.

> calling Nature (Nature!) an "online sensational clickbait magazine"

Not far from the truth, talking as someone who is in the field. Unlike Science, which is published by AAAS, a non-profit, Nature is a for-profit publication. They have an incentive not to miss out on something huge so that they can retain their status as the place to go for big results, but this also means they have an incentive towards selecting more sensational research for publication. That doesn't mean that research published in Nature is bad--often it is excellent--and I'm sure their editorial staff sincerely try their best, but they often make quite bizarre editorial decisions (personal opinion).

That said, Nature attracts far more scrutiny than other journals because of their ability to make and break careers, so many people feel resentment towards them as a result. Not all criticism of Nature is entirely fair.

No comment on this particular story :)
I think it's actually better for junior engineers to go alone for long stretches of time. That is such a huge driving force for their own success, when they have to learn by doing a lot of things on their own, without external help, and without someone constantly micro-managing them.
The gestalt of LK-99 is ironic. It is both a sensation and (hopefully) an almost magical rock, and still "None of the studies provide direct evidence for any superconductivity in the material."
It seems to me like the author thinks being smart is “liberal” and also he doesn’t like it.
Simply the desire to live in interesting times.
LK-99 sensationalism and especially online sensationalism is an excellent example of everything that's bad about rapid communication and the attention economy. A huge number of people suddenly feel a need to have a hot take opinion on cutting edge superconductor research, apparently including nature authors.
There's a false sense of urgency around trying to understand a possible discovery that even if true, wouldn't impact anyone's life for many years, and will probably never be relevant to an actual decision they have to make.

Things will pan out or they won't. What's the rush to form an opinion and hop on a hype bandwagon. I'm probably just a curmudgeon, but the whole thing seems to be more about social signaling than anything else.

Maybe I find it so distasteful because I think the hype and jumping to conclusions is antithetical to real science and understanding.
I'm not sure what made you think this is a debate. I'd just like to understand how you came to your conclusions. If you don't want to participate, that's fine. You don't have to answer. The process takes some back and forth, that's all.

It sounds like your observations about how people interact socially are as clear as watching a ball travel through the air. Is that right?
Anomaly (your word) != trend . It only becomes a trend when it happens more than once, by definition.
LK-99, as a social phenomenon, is looking a lot like cold fusion with the added energy of social media.
tl;dr A 40 page review of dbms architecture data models by Michael Stonebreaker (of Postgre) and Joseph Hellerstein. This seems to be a 1990s or 2000s paper, given the treatment of xml-based proto-non-relatonal databases. The paper treats:

In that case, my apologies for misrepresenting the product - but I think the clarity was lacking rather than me misunderstanding, here's my question which specifically asked about self-hosting for that reason, and your answer (from the link) which seemed to imply no, only the github hook part:

Q: Can you run it fully self-hosted (apart from the GPT4 engine obv), or is the repo essentially a client to a Sweep API/binary?

A: The repo is just the backend that runs the GitHub webhooks. [...clip...] Now it's only the GitHub interface with creating tickets and comments.

Anyway, if it is fully self-hostable (minus the LLM endpoint) that's terrific, and I will have a go at it.
Any pessimistic/cautious take on a subject bringing excitement and hope for the future is going to be criticized because people want it to be true. This is just confirmation bias at play.

Considering the hype, I actually find HN comments relatively cautious and patient, this is a pseudonymous internet forum after all.
The big deal is the cowardice and ignorance of these parents.

A smart child raised by parents who fear and censor media contrary to their ideology or morality is a child whose future has been stolen. It is a theft from society as well.

Why is the dumbest parent allowed to circumscribe the smartest child?
No, it's pure bullshit.

You can't apply conditional probabilities to unbias some result if you don't know if the condition holds or not.

You can invent some fiction where some future people apply it. You just can't pretend that there is any realism on it.
