> Any attempted invasion would mean the end of China.

That is too definitive. As you say, it really depends on what happens, it could mean the end of China, which is why I'm hoping the PRC doesn't even try, but they could also succeed without much resistance if the Americans stay put in the ryukyus and the Taiwanese can't offer much resistance.
“China is very misaligned with the US in a huge number of areas”

This feels like Disney is just trying to squeeze every last drop of juice out of their assets while they're in a bad place. Especially this deal which is interesting, but not actually BIG in terms of Disneys scale. They're giving up a significant 'value' for not amazing revenue.
The irony here is that I shouldn't trust this either.

OP here. Thanks for all the feedback! I truly consider it a gift. My takeaways are: you want more pixel art and you want it to be more frequent throughout the post. I'm on it!

In all seriousness I deeply enjoy generating pixel art images and tweaking prompts to get exactly or closer to what I want, but across everyone giving me feedback I seem to get a 50/50 split between they're really pretty, which I tend to think is the case personally, or I'm a terrible person/ programmer/ artist for including them.

You may be interested to know I'm building a side project to help me write posts with generated images while I'm on the go:

So at least im the short term, be on the look out for more posts with terrible pixel art.

> WMD-fevor took the US and led it down a long road of apathy as well

To be fair the conventional part of the Iraq war was an overwhelming victory and even if we look at the entire period between 2003 and 2011 less than 10x American soldiers died than just Russians alone in the first year of the war in Ukraine. The number of casualties on both sides just seems inconceivable high compared to any war any(?) western power fought in since Korea.

Less Americans died during the entire 15 or so years in Vietnam. During the Afghanistan war (which supposedly had a significant role in bringing the USSR down) the Soviets suffered at most half as many losses as just in a year now...

Considering all of this I find the general apathy of most Russians extremely bizarre... If Russia really suffered over 250k casualties there must be several millions of people whose family members or close friends were killed during the war yet nobody seems to care that much.
Oh I agree - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36924205 was a fine submission. Can you please email hn@ycombinator.com so I can send you a repost invite for it?

That domain is a borderline case. Sometimes the leopard really changes its spots, i.e. a site goes from offtopic or spam to one that at least occasionally produces good-for-HN articles. In such cases we simply unban it. Other times, the general content is still so bad for HN that we have to rely on users to vouch for the occasional good submission, or to email us and get us to restore it. I can't quite tell where fairobserver.com is on this spectrum because the most recent submission (yours) is good, the previous one (from 7 months ago) is borderline, and before that it was definitely not good. But I've unbanned it now and moved it into the downweighted category, i.e. one notch less penalized.

In Australia, we had ozhiphop.com/forum.

It was a super active forum between 2001 - 2010. Really the only online meeting place for local hip-hop until social media took over. It was the launching place of many careers (including Action Bronson's albeit indirectly).

Sadly all seems to be lost to history too.
Structured concurrency isn't finalized yet and I think that's the one big benefit of coroutines in the interim.

Another benefit is that I see no reason why using coroutines today won't benefit from loom tomorrow. It should be pretty simple to retrofit loom stuff onto coroutines.
I think Breitbart might be what is referenced here. And this may or may not be the best decision for the quality of HN, but I think it would (and should) raise an eyebrow and bring up concerns about bias if there's a pattern about which media outlets get blocked.

But forget hot-button politics for a second and lets talk about commerce. Big money makes people do dumb things. YCombinator as we all know dabbles in a lot of big businesses. How do we know that somebody here is not putting their thumb on the scale of discourse and harming their competitors? Transparency here would be great to more fully trust that the businesses that do or don't get attention here aren't getting it through bad practices.

It looks like the same ATC person lined up the southwest plane to take off and the private jet to land at the same time. Then realised and aborted at the last minute. Is that right?

The ATC should not have moved the south west plane onto the runway before the private jet landed. Correct?

Did you know tearing down a building generates GDP, and so does building it? Just repeat that a few times, and you have infinite GPD.

I joke, but you see something like that happening sometimes (a ghost mall is constructed, never used, torn down, turned into something else that is never used, etc...).

When America's GDP was middle income, it had high GDP growth also. We made the mistake of extrapolating Japan's GDP growth as if it wouldn't taper off as Japan got rich, which meant, in 2020, Japanese would be twice as rich as Americans. That never happened, of course, because it doesn't really work like that.

Schizophrenics are less violent than the general population. In general, schizophrenia is not dangerous to others around, even untreated. People who are in a psychotic episode act oddly, which can scare others, but the perception of danger comes from that erratic action, not from actual danger.

Disclaimer: Ehrman is a friend of mine but opinion is my own

I would agree that Carrier doesn't get taken as seriously as he should be, but I think it's partly because he has a very abrasive approach and he has a very unorthodox style due to being an outsider. He also has a tendency to repeat claims like "they won't respond" when in fact they have responded[1]. Historians are people too, and much like the asshole genius programmer who is difficult to work with because he bitches about everybody elses style, the person's technical contributions may not get as much love as they deserve on their merits because things are colored by emotion and discomfort with the person.

Personally, I think the "outsider" perspective is important and welcome, especially given what we've seen are systemic problems in academia in general.

But that said I think "Ehrman just huffs and blusters disgracefully" is pretty unfair. Ehrman has addressed many of Carrier's claims seriously (on his blog for example)[1]. There are lots of other responses in various other places that I wish were much better organized. These sorts of debates can get insanely detailed and long, and especially when so much from the ancient world is (IMHO) ultimately unknown and unknowable, in the end I personally just have to enjoy the ride and accept (much to my dismay) that I may never really know.

Lastly, there is something about the debate behind "did Jesus exist" that I find makes a lot of agnostic/atheist people lose their minds. It feels a lot like the response from Christians when one of their traditions/dogma is challenged. I get it, it would feel really justifying to be able to say "Jesus didn't even exist" but I think the evidence that the stories of Jesus evolved over time to become more and more mythical is strong enough that it doesn't matter whether a real man ever existed. It's a very fun debate when it doesn't become heated and personal, which unfortunately is almost never nowadays.

That said I really hope Carrier continues his work. I've enjoyed his books and I think he is on to something. I'd love to see him work more toward building consensus and working together though.

It matters for fairness. You can't get China, or any other country, to agree on low-carbon policy if they think it's unfair to them. So it matters very much that the US and other developed countries do more than China, India or other developing countries. Even if developing countries are currently emitting more carbon than them.

We're not going to get China to agree to meaningfully lower emissions without doing proportionally much more ourselves. That's the reality.

Plus all those historical emissions are still around, heating up the planet, so we still bear responsibility for them. What you're advocating for is making the last guy to use the bathroom clean it up, when in fact many people have been befouling it for weeks before this guy even got there. And we have a pretty good idea of who those other people were and what they did. If the objective is a clean bathroom, I guarantee you pinning it on the last guy will not get it done.

At this point I put anyone who says "But what about China/India/Nigeria?" in the same camp as climate change deniers. It's just a different excuse to pass blame and guarantee nothing gets done, which is the point.

As we mentioned in the article, Instagram just spent ~25 person-years building Threads which is a barebones clone of Twitter. Not only did we build our instance 30x faster than that, we have way more features like federation, hashtag follows, polls, DMs, global timelines, and more. And Instagram didn't start from scratch as Instagram/Meta already had infrastructure powering similar products.

In my opinion the best hardware to run big models is to go and get a mac studio ultra. You have 192GB of unified RAM which can run pretty much every available model without losing performance. And it would cost you half that price.
How do you combine microtransactions with the need to be indexed by search engines?

Microtransactions solve the issue of bad bots, and possibly websites monetization. But then do you want to give free pass to search engine crawlers? The big ones will be strong enough to refuse to crawl your site if you don't. The small ones will be financially unable to crawl if you don't. If you allow them all, you're back to step 1. If you allow only one or a few, you basically freeze search engine innovation.

The market appears to have reached the fatigue point with those (and Indiana Jones). Either they mismanaged the brands or properly milked them heavily while the market was hot. I suspect the latter, perhaps intentionally. Even the Beatles faded with time.

ESPN's big money maker turned out to have been cable carriage fees (I assume the same was true for ABC, but don't know). That is augering.

I'm not a huge fan of Disney as a cultural influence but, as you note, they have survived pervious difficult periods and will probably profit from the new world that is developing.

So Rama-powered apps need to be written in Java? Or will any JVM language work?

What are the paths to monetize a browser extension?

I recently wrote an ODE IVP integrator in C#. In the process I read the code in Numerical Recipes, Scipy and DifferentialEquations.jl. That combined with my own house style and some gyrations for allocation-free code resulted in the final product. A lot of what I took was just how to abstract the code into a few different layers to make it a bit more pluggable so that now I've got swappable BS5 and DP5 integrators. That layer structure came mostly from scipy. Some of the details of DP5 and the PI stepsize control came from NR. Not a whole lot came from the julia code since it is honestly kind of a mess due to what needs to happen for performance there. I did dig into it enough to find out that they're just using bisection with left/right endpoint control for events, so I used that which was much simpler than trying to sort out what endpoint control with Brent's method looks like. Oh I took some tips of the overall shape of the events API from the julia code so that the events get the integrator itself injected into it, so events can tweak the integrator shape. Still got some details left that I need to clean up and flesh out the events API, but it is way better code than the slightly OOP'd wikipedia-quality code that I was using. It should be flexible enough to drop other RK methods into it and even drop non-RK IVP solvers into it.

Reasonably happy with the result and it is a lot better for having looked at other code and not continued to pursue NIH syndrome.

One of my favorite partially debunked theories is that it is a carbon sequestration instinct among mammals in a time of climate change and excess atmospheric CO2. There is an interesting correlation among a diverse range of mammals in North America towards overweight/obesity, it isn't just impacting humans. Part of why it is "easily debunked" with various razors is that most of the species involved are human-adjacent and you can't eliminate bioavailability of foods in a human environment as a culprit. But it is still a fascinating enough correlation and another thing that adds to the pile of "it is probably more than 'willpower'".

Again, I don't think this theory explains everything, I just find it a fun thought exercise to ask more questions about what is going on.
That's a good argument and subtle enough that I'm not sure whether I agree or disagree.
you can put your classes in default package and source files in root dir "/Main.java", but as it stands most of industry/tools is following conventions that make life easier for people that need to maintain the code.

Any trademark case is going to have to prove that a reasonable person would think this article is from Mastodon gGmbH, or is talking about their product "Mastodon".

The top of the page reads "Red Planet Labs", the title of the article is "How we reduced the cost of building Twitter at Twitter-scale by 100x" and the first line of the article is "We built a Twitter-scale Mastodon instance from scratch in only 10k lines of code."

No reasonable person is going to think that this article has anything to do with the official Mastodon software, so there's no trademark issue here.
Thanks Bryan!
One of the comments on this site pointed out performance issues with the esp32. I never worked with IoT devices or these boards but I would like to dabble since they are relatively inexpensive but it got me to look up and find out that the esp32 is manufactured in a 40nm process node. Are there like newer iterations with more performance at similar power budgets manufactured at more advanced nodes?
Being from the US, I've noticed several times where a Canadian has popped up and said something similar to a boast that Canadians helped with something that is primarily an American thing.

Hydrogen production is a common suggestion. Is it better?
You can use regular'car' batteries. The problem is only in the amount of power they provide by weight. Lead acid batteries can only deliver about 15-20% of their full power (these are example numbers not precise.)
So let's say you can go full speed but only for ten minutes, then slower and slower.
Lithium batteries can provide about 80% of their full power, so same vehicle as above, but 60 minutes of full power.
There are of course lots of other pros and cons to available batteries.($$$)
But range to weight, is the most basic.

Measuring "Twitter Scale" by tweets per second seems to be not how I would measure it.

Updates per second to end users who follow the 7K tweets per second seems more realistic, it's the timelines and notifications that hurt, not the top of ingest tweets per second prior to the fan out... and then of course it's whether you can do that continuously so as not to back up on it.
If you have something to say then say it.

I found that from this Forbes article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2023/06/26...

The Forbes article suggests the problem began with the 2013 federal budget fight and resulting sequestration, which cut some programs and eliminated others.
