If it weren't for YC and the network effect of of SV startup culture (remember it started as "Startup News"), HN would be just another niche forum from which most people would have migrated to Reddit ages ago. It might still exist, but only as a withered shell of its former self.

The only reason HN still persists at the scale that it does is precisely because of its association with YC and "tech bros," because the billion dollar venture capital firm running it has made it a part of their identity.
You could if you want to, but if your distribution provides a UEFI bootloader (shim / grub / systemd-boot / whatever) signed by the default MS-trusted cert, or you're willing to set up everything yourself with your own certs, it doesn't hurt to enable it either (except when an incident like this happens).

The efficiency and complexity of user mode threads heavily depend on constraints imposed by the particular language. E.g. if the language supports pointers into the stack, user mode threads would be less efficient; if the language is largely dependent on manual memory management -- user mode threads would be more expensive; if the language already has some other concurrency primitives (like async/await) -- user mode threads will be more expensive (although in this case in terms of complexity rather than runtime efficiency). Because Java exposes relatively little of its implementation details, we've been able to implement efficient user mode threads even without any FFI overhead.
Thanks, missed that part.

>When Schmid compared these aspects of celebrity faces to those of non-celebrities, she found that the average attractiveness score out of 10 for non-celebrities was between 4-5 while celebrities tend to score at a minimum of 6. According to her algorithm, celebrities are significantly more attractive than non-celebrities with top scorers including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Kate Upton, and Miley Cyrus.

> I don't agree with OP about I/O-bound ops, I think if you're looking to green threading, you've taken a wrong

It depends in the implementation. In Go for example, all I/O is async and suspend your green thread, replacing it with another runnable green thread.

This works the same as if you managed an event loop on your own for the purpose of I/O, which is the best way to handle I/O outside for regular user space code. It’s just automatic with your code resembling a simple, blocking scenario.

OPs note on threading would be C# or runtime specific - green threads have no problem with parallelism, with runtimes commonly having a thread per core (or more) and having them all run green threads in parallel.
A gas power plant (specifically a peaker plant designed for this) is still more expensive to start or stop than a battery or hydro.

However, it is much more expensive to build the capacity for batteries and you need to charge the batteries with excess power that’s available cheaply during surplus times.

The advantage of a peaker gas plant is you can build it big and shovel fuel into it that you just brought over from wherever. Many of them were built with the expectation that they would not face competition from batteries, so the economics of running them is getting bad. However they’re still important as a backup because you cannot depend reliably on the batteries being charged.
Thanks for posting that as I was about to! I will note that MIL-HDBK-5 is no longer valid for actual aerospace design, as it has been superseded by Battelle Institute's MMPDS Handbook, which is locked behind a very very tall paywall. The MIL-HDBK is still all perfectly good data.

I played college football which for the purposes of this conversation isn't a brag but call it a club. A big club. This was at a D3 non scholarship for the love of the game school.

Two weeks before school started I knew 110 students, 15 adult employees, and about 10 recent alums. It was great. I had easy access to people who could answer all my questions. What classes, what professors, what forms, what majors, what restaurants, how to move exams, parties, of age people, cars, parking, tutors etc. Can't recommend it enough.

My daughter is very indoors and "nerdy" for shorthand (So am I I just also do everything and played football). She loved DND. We lived about 12 miles from campus so as soon as she got in I found that they had DND club. I got her to ask to play in the discord early summer. She had a pack of friends by the time school started. A few freshmen and plenty of older classmates.

Can't recommend it enough. Also it generally accelerated me more than the time it took up
"Carbon offset", e.g. somebody who owns a lot of property with trees says he's totally, hypothetically, going to chop down those trees except actually he's going to sell some carbon credits instead. High likelihood he was never going to chop down the trees in the first place, or does so anyway and it's only 10 years later that anybody even notices. Oh, but there are ways to audit this they say! Auditors can look at the deforestation rates of neighboring properties to estimate the hypothetical averted deforestation caused by the sale of the carbon credits. And the guy who sold the carbon credits can pay his neighbors to chop down trees to pass this audit.

It's all a scam. A system by which rich people swap money back and forth with other rich people to absolve themselves of the climate sin they claim the rest of us are burdened with.

Stopping the use of a term is fundamentally harder than starting. It is quite famously tricky to drop an old habit. If you want me to learn a new term, give me a flashcard and ten minutes spread over two weeks and I can guarantee I'll recognize it and be able to use it correctly indefinitely. If you want me to forget a word, ten years of never thinking about it and I still might accidentally select it in conversation.

Maybe instead of wanting to be insulting, people just don't want to be insulted (called ableist, racist, etc.) for failing to keep up with modern slang. Can you see why someone might be upset about being made a de facto bigot when they are only guilty of aging?
This is total fiction, Colorado as a whole has been getting way more snow per year on average in the past 15 years(except the 1990s which were very snowy) than at any time in the past 120 years, I know I live in Colorado and crunched the numbers myself. I pulled the numbers from the NOAA gov site. I have both rain and snow totals so as you can see mother nature is doing her part, its just that the population has exploded here in the past 15 years(15% or 800,000 new people since 2010) and that is what is driving down the water supply.

Dustin, Leo, and the rest of Electric team are brilliant, borderline geniuses.

You can do absolutely magical interactive apps with Electric. However, I think, the catch is that the learning curve of Missionary and Electric is _very_ steep, and you have to understand the concepts pretty deeply in order to successfully debug (hence, to make) your code. And it is worth it, in my opinion — the concepts used are beautiful in a mathematical way and fit together pretty well.
My neighbor, who has bipolar mania, was in the hospital for a 72-hour hold. She wanted to leave, naturally, and a "patient advocate" made it happen "against the doctor's orders." So I'm trying to figure out how the choices of someone who cannot soundly judge their own condition take priority over that of the doctor in charge of them.

It's because of familiarity. It's why we have Starbucks in Spain at all, because of all the tourists. Because Starbucks coffee totally sucks compared to real Spanish coffee :) What Americans consider coffee is more like a milkshake containing some coffee flavour :') And that's very hard to find in Spain where the espresso/"cafe solo" rules (or cortado with a bit of milk) so tourists end up gravitating to Starbucks.
Definitely a workable idea. I used to play a lot of Rimworld and, as is good practice in heavily modded long-run games, would frequently make manual saves. The names of those saves weren't in the style of commit messages (more like episode titles) but it was a similar idea, expressing the current state of the world or my intentions or my reactions to events. Reading back the save names in chronological order is always a fun little way to relive the story of that colony :)

> And if the league, broadcasters, and media don't get a share of the gambling money by selling advertisements, why would they even allow the gambling in the first place?

Because they're greedy and want any money they can get. They don't "allow" gambling, the law permits gambling. If it was illegal, no one would advertise it and they wouldn't get a dime.

Why is it legal? Taxes. Legal gambling means the government collects taxes.

That’s the original video that kicked it off. It’s pretty mundane as far as internet controversy goes. The lotteries were run poorly and as such were probably illegal, not exactly uncommon on YouTube. The show largely targets kids, so there’s some accusations of it effectively being gambling for kids.

After that people dug into his whole life and found out one of his employees was convicted of statutory rape and he was aware, which is a bad look for a channel mostly watched by children.

It’s like a 3/10 on internet controversy scales. Doing something common and dumb but not obviously malicious, and then just stuff that looks bad without concrete evidence anything bad actually happened.

It’s not terribly interesting, I only saw because of a comedian making fun of it.

They are _used_ very extensively, but not in web pages. Many industry domains rely heavily on linked data and ontologies.

It's true that they are less commonly embedded as semantic data in web pages. There's a real bootstrapping problem there: no reason to embed data if no tools will read it, no reason to build tools if there's no data to read.

Ads and the spying they depend on only trick you into thinking that you aren't paying for it when in reality, not only are you paying (often resulting with money coming out of your pocket) but you also never get to stop paying for it.

Once your data is out there, it will be used against you for the rest of your life. It never goes away.

It'll be passed around to advertisers, data brokers, law enforcement, lawyers, employers, insurance companies, scammers, retailers, and activists and year after year, decade after decade, every single person who gets their hands on your data will try to use it against you in any and every way that they feel will be to their benefit, and it will almost always be at your expense.

The advantage of loading from a daemon over loading all the weights at once in Python is that it can support multiple processes or even the same process consecutively (if it dies or something, or had to switch to something else).

Loading from disk to VRAM can be super slow- so doing this every time you have a new process is wasteful. Instead, if you have a daemon process that keeps multiple model weights in pinned RAM, you can load them much quicker (~1.5 seconds for a 8B model like we show in the demo).

You _could_ also make a single mega router process, but then there are issues like all services needing to agree on dependency versioning. This has been a problem for me in the past (like LAVIS requiring a certain transformer version that was not compatible with some other diffusion libraries)
