skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The benchmark that's provided says nothing, actually. Being able to serve half a million requests per second isn't a useful measurement for two reasons:

1. In a serverless environment, _the whole point_ is that the requests are essentially all concurrent. If you get 1000 requests at T+0, you get 1000 concurrent invocations of your function. The overhead of the worker doesn't stack unless you hit a concurrency limit, which most folks won't.

2. The overhead of the framework is a rounding error. The slowest framework benchmarked clocks in at over 200K QPS. That's ones of microseconds of overhead from the framework per request. HonoJS is still ones of microseconds per request. If your application code takes one millisecond to return meaningful output, that's _hundreds of times slower_ than the overhead, and the framework's performance is already moot.

Choose a framework that is nice to use and gives you all of the features you want. Shaving off a handful of kilobytes of source code _on the server_ is premature optimization. Shaving off a few microseconds from the request time is premature optimization. Even "heavy" frameworks like Koa and Express will give you good-enough performance that you probably wouldn't ever even notice. What matters is the tool you choose that helps you build useful stuff faster.
The specialized vector database performs well when processing pure vector tasks but performs badly when it comes to SQL compatibility and integration with the existing system; And the traditional database with vector algorithm or vector plug-in like ES, PG, and Redis, achieves the vector function, the advantage is that it is very easy to create tasks in a production environment, but when the data scale is relatively large, they will quickly encounter performance bottlenecks.

There is a new type of vector database that combines the best of both worlds, which is MyScale, the SQL vector database. You can refer to the following blogs to see the comparison. our comprehensive benchmark evaluation reveals that MyScale exceeds other products in terms of filtered vector search accuracy, performance, cost-efficiency, and index build time by a long way. Importantly, MyScale is the only product tested that delivers healthy search accuracy and QPS across various filter ratios.

Christian Science is a church founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1879. They're most famous for believing in faith healing, which is part of a larger collection of beliefs with a "mind/faith over matter" flavor. They have churches throughout New England. In practice, they tend to be pretty mellow in that old-school "New England religious movement" sort of way.

The Christian Science Monitor is a well-respected newspaper associated with the church. The few times I've read a paper copy, there was usually one editorial with a religious theme. Their religion did not otherwise color their reporting.

I am not the least bit suprised that the Christian Science church might support NPR. Demographically, Christian Science members probably have very high overlap with NPR listeners. And they are, after all, a church which is best known for being associated with a newspaper. I would not be the least bit surprised if they donate to NPR mostly because they want to support public radio.

A lot of cozy people underestimate the willpower challenge of poverty.

I meet so many tech bros that victim blame. "the mom working two jobs has at least an hour at night. She can use that time to take free coding classes, teach herself to code, upskill and get a high paying programming job. It's not easy but it's possible." Some variation of that said to me so many times. "my family grew up poor and I figured it out! My dad came to this country with five dollars in his pocket etc etc."

I think one or two were telling the truth from all angles. Most were telling the truth as they knew it, but didn't realize that the fact that their parents were able to afford a house in the good school district already gave them a significant leg up, or other random privileges they have over others.

But what everyone seems to overestimate is their own willpower when they aren't just working many hours - which many of us on this forum are used to from startup life - but working for those hours for 7$ or less per hour, while facing humiliation and depredation every day at however many jobs being worked (by customers, by managers), looking to the future and seeing nothing but this 7$ an hour, watching your meagre savings always get nuked at just the right moment by a blown head gasket or the landlord raising rent or the kid needing unexpected school supplies because they forgot their backpack at the bus stop or whatever else.

The psychological burden of a hopeless situation is enormous. I wish I could help more people understand that and empathize with people in these situations. In the richest country on earth I don't understand why we tolerate people having to live like that, out of some cultish dedication to nonexistent meritocracy.
Video creator here. You're absolutely right. On the other hand, it at least gave some data on exactly how the Wii Classic Controller in particular behaves. I'd be curious if the Wiimote by itself behaves any differently too. I still think my approach was easier than implementing the I2C protocol, even if it was much messier.

You could theoretically even completely emulate the Wiimote in software too. I think some people in the TASBot community were taking that approach.
It’s all server side. It’s written using express which is a web server framework built on top of nodejs
One of the reviews says to look at the sample, but it looks like the sample isn't available any more. Might just be a regional thing that the sample isn't available but maybe they removed it intentionally lol

What's your preferred approach?

Mostly because the issues he mentions are not related to the actual reason people are dropping, the reason is _there is a lot of competition for everyone's attention_. Last time I turned on the radio i was a teenager, maybe 20 years ago, with the internet and podcasts there's very little reason to tune in, i have car play in the car and both pocketcasts and spotify, why would I ever tune in?

I listen to a lot of NPR podcasts and contribute to WHYY monthly but I don't think i ever tuned into WHYY, i don't even know the frequency they use :P

Reality is that all media is pretty much toast unless you're some big name like the NYT and this is really sad because i really love the NPR podcasts, but not sure how they can survive long term without the local radios.
Well, speaking for myself, I was curious why someone would need "thousands", and what the devices are.

This is certainly DeSantis' personal motto.

But it is worth remembering and repeating to yourself whenever you find a policy which has an 'unfortunate' and cruel side effect. Nine times out of ten, the cruelty is the point, and the actual side effect is the stated aim. It is worth remembering, even when you support the policy.

Those in poverty do have that time. Number of hours worked increases with wealth. Share of people working more than one job has fell since the 90s, and never exceeded 7%. Average commute time (one way) has been 20 - 30 minutes since the 90s.

You're pushing rhetoric, not reality. Which is fine, but I won't let you lie.
Does the question mark indicate some possibility you'd be willing to consider "finding some way" to install a genuine democracy, that governs according to the will of the people and actually walks the talk?

If you think the so-called democracy we have now is acceptable, you've got pretty low standards in my opinion.
I used paid web-based software. After triple-checking everything and researching what each form and boxes mean, part of me wants to just do it myself next year. I assume the only concern would be updated tax laws and ensuring everything is done accurately, but it seems straightforward enough. If that takes too long, back to the paid software.
I think you’ll be able to soon, even without sideloading. As per a recent Macrumours article:

> Notably, Apple confirmed to us that emulators on the App Store are permitted to load ROMs downloaded from the web, so long as the app is emulating retro console games only. Apple also said it had approved iGBA’s functionality, before learning that it was a knockoff app, suggesting that Game Boy emulation is permitted on the App Store, but the company has yet to share any other examples of retro game consoles.

Rodney King. LA riots. NAFTA protests. Branch Davidians. Presidential sex scandals. First desert storm. Political correctness. Women's movements. Bosnia et.al. Rwanda. HIV/AIDS epidemic. Ruby Ridge. Wage stagnation. The final death of small town commerce due to Wal-Marts.

And these are just the things I thought of in the last minute. I'm sure there are a ton more issues I'm missing.

This was my experience as well. I've previously blindly followed instructions from OAuth libraries, but it frustrated me that I didn't fully understand what was going on.
Saying the Mueller report disproved collusion is disingenuous. Collusion isn't a legal term and and the Mueller report absolutely enumerated communication and coordination between the campaign and Russian agents. I don't think NPR ran anything untrue before during or after the Mueller investigation. They certainly never asserted conclusions without evidence. It was more a fantasy of the right that the MSM was overly credulous of anything.

Hunter Biden's laptop may have been mostly a real thing but it was not and still is not newsworthy. There have been zero revelations from it that weren't public record.

And lab leak also remains a dubious topic. For one, there is no solid proof one way or another. And two I heard more than leak advocate given air time to espouse their theory and answer critical questions.

That stress simulation is very interesting. I wonder would happen if they just filleted all the corners, inside and out.

They've added a lot of direct compression "paths" through the vertical web so it's not surprising it's unloaded the corners where the stress used to "go around" the void.

> Democrats took on race as an issue in the early 1960s,

That’s a weird way of framing a law that got only 60-40 support among democrats in Congress but 80-20 among republicans.

But it was more of a “Mad Men/Lucky Strikes” situation: https://youtu.be/8Nvf4BteCR4?si=snxZFKB1HmaljUmR. Once both parties supported the civil rights act, the had to campaign on different issues. Democrats turned to a more academic and activist view on race, focused on using government to undo the effects of past discrimination. Legal equality having been achieved, republicans turned to social and religious conservatism.

The more important piece of the puzzle is economics. In the 1950s, Ohio had a median income 57% higher than North Carolina. Illinois was 75% higher than Georgia. That gap started to close dramatically in the 1970s and 1980s, opening the door to republicans coming into the south on a pro-business and deregulation platform. It’s not a coincidence that nearly all of Toyota’s manufacturing facilities in the US except one are in what are now low regulation red states.

I'm willing to bet - dollars to donuts - that there were (and are) American investors in your country of origin, and every other one you've been to. Sometimes being an outsider confers clarity / skills / experience necessary to exploit opportunities not available - or even visible to those who've lived all their lives in an environment.
I see this in many retired people I know. Still saving, not spending wisely.

Using 2 hours of precious time to save $2.

Investments with a time frame that is longer than their expected remaining life.

Driving across town to get a couple of percent off a tank of gas - actually wasting petrol and time.

Hoarding stuff that they will never use - often stuff that would be useful to their kids or friends.

Then again I see the opposite in some people: drawing down a reverse mortgage like they'll be dead in 5 years and ruining their finances. Smoking and boozing and otherwise ruining their health because they "haven't got long to live".

NPR listeners aren't white? What are you trying to say here?
I have liberal friends who, before this essay appeared, told me that they'd stopped listening to NPR because of its slide into advocacy rather than reporting news.
Even if "every news outlet and broadcast media outlet losing audience rapidly", the criticism wasn't about NPR losing audience in general, but about NPR losing audience from a particular side predominantly.

I think it’s a natural property of the interaction between capital and technology.

Let’s say in a hypothetical society, the richest person has 10 capital and the poorest have 0. The gap between richest and poorest is 10 capital, and we can assume some nonlinear distribution of population between the extreme.

Let’s say technology 10xes your capital. Now the rich person is 100 capitals ahead of the bottom and the population wealth curve has been stretched.

Let’s say technology e^xes your capital, now your wealth curve is even more complicated and the rich person (after successive iterations of technology) is far ahead.
Agreed, I think it's something you should know how to do and then choose not to do it (use an existing library instead). Having a good understanding really helps with debugging issues that come up.

The bill is beside the point. Intelligence/law enforcement will do the stuff the bill authorizes -- and probably already are, and worse -- even if it dies in Congress, or the president's desk, or whatever. Legislation simply doesn't matter to people for whom there is no effective oversight by any branch of government, as is the case with these agencies. Time and time again people have painstakingly uncovered massive breaches of legality and constitutionality by the security state, and never has it mattered one bit. This stuff literally goes back to before the founding of the United States, probably before recorded history, and "democracy" has never slowed it down.

Maybe democracy is a good process for deciding on how much to spend on highways and social security (though this is doubtful as well), but it is for sure not something that has ever been a useful tool in restraining security services.

The only real rebuttal I guess would be asking whether people were really more informed in the past? For a good chunk of the history of the US most people would only have had access to, what, maybe a newspaper on a monthly or so basis? Maybe the publications back then were more intellectually honest and unbiased, but maybe not.

Either way, unfortunately, I agree with the current state of media and the education level of the public. Even more unfortunately, in the midst of things being in such a sorry state, we now have LLMs/bots added to the mix, where groups and nation states now have an entirely new level of public manipulation available and it's already making the situation completely untenable.

This. As someone who's probably center-right, I used to listen to NPR a lot because they'd often offer new perspectives on things. But now, they offer the same perspective, over and over and over again - and so I usually turn them off.

Your story rubs me the wrong way. For one, you say you had to financially support your parents, but then insinuate that people highlighted in the article should bootstrap themselves up since America is such a great place. Also being an immigrant doesn't make it 'high risk.' In many areas, belonging to an immigrant community might actually confer an advantage.

The point of the article is to think about how adverse childhood experiences might affect adulthood, using actual data, and try to think about an actionable way to address the issue. Maybe stuff like this is behind USA's secret sauce compared to other countries where the 'unfortunate' are left to rot.

There'll probably be discovered a class of problems which is hard and Q hard, provably and we'll be set. Something basically new to cryptography, that was tried once in the past but failed until seen through a new light of more recent maths or research fashion.

But until then it seems to me like something based on the difficulty of attacking hash functions would be a good bet for Q resistant. Totally unsure how to make a PK scheme from that, but it has a few nice properties:

- hashes are often tuneable, you can add more state and increase the keyspace/security

- good hashes don't have any weaknesses that Q can exploit

- hashes are often pretty fast

- hashes are well studied

- hashes seem to be hard in C and hard in Q
