You've outed yourself as not knowing why IRC and email are the established media. IRC is meant to be live chat rooms -- and explicitly not persistent conversation. That is the whole point. For persistence, use email. These are the only two protocols required to cover most all needs of communication. It's the simplicity and stability that is why they are preferred, and their usage translates to higher quality development -- much higher quality than is usually ever found on GitHub or Discord.

Also, putting the keys to one's communication into proprietary platforms, like GitHub and Discord, is a horrifyingly bad idea. Maybe it helps graduates of computer science work faster, but graduates of computer science also are (usually) embarrassingly bad hacks at what they do.

YMMV. I have over two decades of experience with Python and about a decade with JS though it's all backend work. I use both in my day job, but write in Python more frequently. I've found the transition to Python static typing much more seamless and easier to adopt than TS.

Amusingly, I can't call any time where I'd had to deal with differently typed return values in Python, but just recently had to fix some legacy JS code that was doing that (a function that was returning null, scalar, or array depending upon how many values it got in response to a SQL query).

Kick-Start Overview of Deep Learning
Having a common library function that is either lighting fast or dog slow depending on the hardware, is not a great position to be in.

Moreover, this will get worse as more CUDA specific features are added to PyTorch with ad-hoc fallback functions.

I guess OP is saying that XLA is more transparent in this regard, because it wouldn’t use functions like these and the generated comparable code would be on-pare performance wise?
Probably not, Intel does a pretty decent job regulating power consumption as long as you don't modify the power profiles or fuck with ACPI. Distributions or third-party nagware might ruin the battery, but that goes for any laptop that's required to install Teams or McAfee.

The fun part is scaling the other way... for tiny animals.

https://www.science.org/content/article/scienceshot-amoeba-s...

> You can't shrink down to the size of an amoeba without losing parts of yourself. That's the lesson one researcher is taking away from a microscopic analysis of the fairy wasp (Megaphragma mymaripenne), which at a mere 200 micrometers in length is one of the world's smallest animals (shown compared to a paramecium and amoeba above). When the scientist compared the neurons of adult and pupae fairy wasps, he discovered that more than 95% of adult neurons lack a nucleus.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S14678...

> The smallest insects are comparable in size to unicellular organisms. Thus, their size affects their structure not only at the organ level, but also at the cellular level. Here we report the first finding of animals with an almost entirely anucleate nervous system. Adults of the smallest flying insects of the parasitic wasp genus Megaphragma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) have only 339–372 nuclei in the central nervous system, i.e., their ganglia, including the brain, consist almost exclusively of processes of neurons. In contrast, their pupae have ganglia more typical of other insects, with about 7400 nuclei in the central nervous system. During the final phases of pupal development, most neuronal cell bodies lyse. As adults, these insects have many fewer nucleated neurons, a small number of cell bodies in different stages of lysis, and about 7000 anucleate cells. Although most neurons lack nuclei, these insects exhibit many important behaviors, including flight and searching for hosts.

And the Wikipedia article for the species - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaphragma_mymaripenne

In particular:

> Researchers believe the wasp can survive without nuclei because of its short lifespan; the proteins manufactured during the pupal stage last the animal long enough to complete its life journey.
> POSIX even changed their rules about binary in shell scripts specifically to let us do it.

I'd seen this quote around. The fact that the standards were changed to allow it never struck me as a good indication that it should be relied upon. It seems rather backwards of how these standards work.

That works out to ~$22 per American per year. Not sure what Visa's operating costs for their network are, and I'm no big fan of them (or any other credit card company) but that's far cheaper than I would have expected given the convenience provided by almost never needing cash or checks. So as far as its impact on prices go, it doesn't sound like it's really a huge amount.

You can switch the words “buyer” and “seller” in your statement and it still works. If you want to consider it being paid by the buyer, you can, or you can say the seller pays it. It is all factored into the deal either way.

I would argue, though, that it is more accurate to say it is paid by the seller, though, since they are the ones who agree to the percentage with the agent, and who signs the contract to pay the agent.
My main project is MapHub, it gives me my income. It's not an income like you'd get in a FAANG job, but still, I'm running it for making a living.

For MapHub to work, I had to invest in my own tile server infrastructure: there is no way I could have made MapHub financially profitable with a 3rd party tile provider. So I kept iterating and iterating on the tile server infrastructure and after 9 years I arrived at a state which was worth open-sourcing.

I'm happy if this project gets to the point from sponsorship where my hosting bill is covered ($175 per month), but it doesn't have to be financially successful on its own.

I'll keep working on it because it's part of my main business, not because I beg for donations.

> Linux kicked off in the 90s because young people at that time wanted a real OS

It's easy to underestimate how inferior MS-DOS was, unless you lived through it. Windows (3.x and later 9x) was slightly better, but still had severe issues. Modern Windows is, from what I've heard, a lot better, so the incentive to migrate is not as strong.

> Today, almost all kids use Cell Phones, which are all locked down.

Not just cell phones; with Secure Boot and BitLocker, computers are more locked down too. In particular, BitLocker means that it's harder to share disk space between Windows and an alternative operating system; back in the MS-DOS (and Windows 9x) days, it was not unusual to install Linux in a directory (or a disk image file) on the same partition used by the other operating system.

> What does it matter what the specific use case is?

Recall where the thread started: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41631782 A question about what use cases people have for large amounts of storage on phones, aside from photos and videos that are easily offloaded to the cloud. When someone replies that they need tons of storage for LLMs, it's quite reasonable to want to understand where that need comes from, how much storage is actually needed for that use case, and whether it's anything that could become popular enough to influence product design decisions or if it's something that will only ever be done by HN nerds. If the best use cases HN can come up with for more storage on phones are things that are unlikely to go mainstream, then we should be assuming that phone manufacturers aren't going to be feeling much pressure to change their storage strategies.

Complaints about product design choices rarely produce interesting discussion when they can be reduced down to the complainer not making the distinction between their personal usage patterns and those of the target market in general. LLMs are still a very new class of workloads for phones, and what an early-adopter HN user is doing with LLMs on a phone could be a preview of an emerging trend that may go mainstream—very on-topic for HN discussion. But in this case it looks more like a use case that will forever remain an outlier.

(It's totally okay to be an outlier and do things with your gadgets that hardly anyone else would choose to do or even think of doing.)

Well, the buyer’s employer is actually the one paying the buyer the money that goes to the mortgage, are we going to start saying the employer is the one buying the house? No, because that is just how the economy works, money changes hands constantly.

We say the person who makes the choice for the purchase is the one who paid for something… the seller signs the contract with the agent, so they are the ones paying.

Key features:
- Extracts text from PDFs (OCR, Computer Vision)
- NLP-based resume-job description matching
- Provides match percentage and compatibility breakdown
- Offers candidate feedback
- Checks for red flags and analyzes portfolios
- Ranks candidates with emojis and titles

PVC conduit is used for some underground applications, it isn’t (typically) used outdoors above ground since UV light destroys it.

You can use EMT w/ raintight compression fittings or galvanized RMC outdoors (or PVC-coated RMC if you have lots of money and/or want it to last 50 years).

Steel conduit (or metal-clad cable) is typical for indoor commercial installations, aside from some specific places where aluminum or PVC is used, like an MRI room.

Israel did not hit random Lebanese citizens, it hit almost entirely Hezbollah operatives.

Every large-scale airstrike in an urban area hits random civilians, and so far the Lebanese Health Ministry has indicated that out of 558 killed so far, at least 148 (50 children, 94 women, and 4 medics) were very likely not to have been militants.

Of course these are just the initial stages of reporting, and everything is to be taken with a grain of salt. But in this background, the idea that the strikes have hit "almost entirely" militants is highly dubious.

The seller is the one who signs the contract with the agent and determines what percentage of the purchase price goes to the agent. It doesn’t matter that the buyer was the source of the money, the seller is who decided what to do with it.

If the seller uses 10% of the sale price to buy a boat, are you going to say that the house buyer bought the boat?
The issue there is how much gets downloaded from PyPI, not how much storage space it takes up. Making an archive copy of all of PyPI would only require a handful of ordinary drives. But the most popular packages get on the order of ten million daily downloads each.

When someone downloads and installs a package, it's generally a single wheel or sdist, out of a potentially massive version/platform matrix for that project. That inflates the storage cost, but it isn't why the bandwidth requirements are so high. A ton of CI systems are apparently poorly designed, individual wheels are bloated, and we can't use the best available compression. Those are the biggest issues.
Yes it is. Go ahead and Google "nominative fair use".

Risk & value scale with transaction size
Duopoly scenarios are why the trifecta of historical anti-trust criteria were one of more of:

- Monopoly market share
- Negative impact to customers
(e.g. higher prices)
- Collusion to thwart competition

Prosecuted under a variety of laws, but all illegal at scale.

The latter two are more relevant to modern global enterprise competition. A duopoly isn't really optimally lowering prices for anything, as there's limited risk of defection and price signaling is pretty easy.
