Exploring HoneyChat: The Future of NSFW AI Conversations
In recent years, artificial intelligence has revolutionized various sectors, and one of the most intriguing applications is in the realm of conversational AI. Among the notable platforms leading this innovation is HoneyChat. This platform specializes in NSFW AI interactions, pushing the boundaries of how we engage with technology in intimate and personal ways.

What is HoneyChat?
HoneyChat is a unique conversational AI designed to provide users with engaging and personalized interactions. Unlike traditional chatbots, HoneyChat focuses on creating meaningful connections, allowing users to explore their fantasies and desires in a safe environment.

The Appeal of NSFW AI
The rise of NSFW AI can be attributed to several factors:

Privacy: Users can engage with AI without the fear of judgment or exposure. This anonymity fosters a space where individuals can express themselves freely.
Customization: HoneyChat offers tailored experiences, allowing users to choose the nature of their interactions. Whether it's light-hearted banter or more explicit conversations, the AI adapts to user preferences.
Accessibility: With the increasing demand for adult content, platforms like HoneyChat provide a convenient option for users seeking entertainment that suits their interests.
How HoneyChat Works
HoneyChat employs advanced machine learning algorithms to understand and respond to user inputs. The AI is trained on diverse datasets, which helps it generate relevant and engaging content. Users can initiate conversations on various topics, and the AI responds in real time, creating a seamless chatting experience.

Ethical Considerations
While the appeal of NSFW AI is significant, it raises important ethical questions. Issues such as consent, data privacy, and the potential for misuse are critical considerations. HoneyChat addresses these concerns by implementing strict guidelines and monitoring user interactions to ensure a safe environment.

Conclusion
As technology continues to evolve, platforms like HoneyChat are redefining the landscape of digital interactions. By offering a safe, engaging, and customizable NSFW AI experience, HoneyChat opens new avenues for personal expression and connection. As we navigate this innovative frontier, it's essential to remain mindful of the ethical implications and strive for a responsible approach to AI technology.

On some days my cloth ears are more dry than on other days so the sounds are more or less muffled depending on ambient conditions.
I think the difference isn't so much between car models, it's the drivers behaviour that wears down the tyres. Something happens to drivers of cars that has the power to accellerate fast from 0. Electric wears down the tires faster because of how the average driver uses the pedals.
Ideally, sure. But it will result in people stretching their tires more and more, and thus more accidents.

We already tax 'distance' by putting tax on the petrol.
I am not u/masklinn - but I don't know what you mean. Doesn't the runtime consume memory by setting it aside for future use? Like what else does "using" ram mean other than claiming it for a time?
Asphalt is a petroleum product, so it's not irrelevant. But even so you're missing some physics in your comment.

Considering that friction is symmetric, road wear implies tire wear and vice versa, at roughly the same order of magnitude of severity, relative to respective hardnesses. Tires are generally softer than road surfaces, so they wear faster than roads.
if only accountancy 'learned' from OOP and just had one mutable balance for each account :)
Either I don't understand the problem completely, or why wasn't it possible to introduce something like 'ex' address family that allowed to pass and disambiguate extended parameter format(s) which would include array sizes etc? We had these *Ex functions everywhere in Win32 API for an eternity, why unices couldn't do the same trick?
I'm thinking about how in France kids are allowed to have wine, and they have fewer alcohol problems when they grow up.
Yeah that is a junior mistake... They should've pre-sized the ArrayList, or better, used an array because that's more memory efficient (and I would say would be what any decent dev would do when the size of tasks is known beforehand).

> Some folks pointed out that in Rust (tokio) it can use a loop iterating over the Vec instead of join_all to avoid the resize to the list

Right, but some folks also pointed out you should've used an array in Java in the previous blog post, 2 years ago, and you didn't do that.

And folks also pointed out Elixir shouldn't have used Task in the previous benchmark (folk here being the creator of Elixir himself): https://github.com/pkolaczk/async-runtimes-benchmarks/pull/7
But you wouldn't call a million tasks with `Promise.all` in Node, right? That's just not a thing that one does.

Instead, there's usually going to be some queue outside the VM that will leave you with _some_ sort of chunking and otherwise working in smaller, more manageable bits (that might, incidentally, be shaped in ways that the VM can handle in interesting ways).

It's definitely true to say that the "idioamatic" way of handling things is worth going into, but if part of your synthetic benchmark involves doing something quite out of the ordinary, it feels suspicious.

I generally agree that a "real" benchmark here would be nice. It would be interesting if someone could come up with the "minimum viable non-trivial business logic" that people could use for these benchmarks (perhaps coupled with automation tooling to run the benchmarks)
Please give more details about that fine. I
But I'm sure you won't because the example wouldn't help your argument.

Testing the Cloudflare D1 REST API with Hurl
Huh.

I once read drh note that no-one had ever bought any copies of TH3. I'm not sure what that does or doesn't say.

But I would hope this is using TH3 in the development pipeline!

If it's a direct port, the branch coverage should be constructively similar so as to be just as effective a test as for the C version.
It would be more interesting to see a benchmark where a task will not be empty but would have an open network connection e.g. would make an HTTP request to a test server with 10 seconds response time. Network is a frequent reason real world applications spawn 1M tasks.
These are cheap vehicles with modest ranges from brands that aren't known outside China (yet). This is a product category that simply doesn't exist in the US. The lack of range doesn't matter because they are intended for people that don't drive very far. You charge them on slow chargers at night mostly. And if you use a fast charger, the charging goes relatively quickly because these aren't large capacity batteries. Typical size in kwh is around 20-30 kwh only.

China has a large amount of mega cities. Think tens of millions of people. There are a lot of cars driving around in those cities that rarely leave those cities. 200-300km range is all they need and a typical range for a sodium ion battery equipped car. The primary feature of sodium ion in this market is cost per kwh. It keeps the vehicles affordable.

People that need more have access to still cheap BYDs priced priced between 10 and 20K with better ranges. Once you hit 30-40K you are looking at the high end of the market with proper long ranges with proper LFP batteries.

Isn't this an entirely rational way for China to react to market exclusion? Given the size of the upside economically this would be a cheap investment.

Most likely, somebody tries to forbid it.
Your argument only works when politicians don't lie, when they're sincere, when people are not getting deceived. It is unreasonable to ask of people of low and moderate intelligence who lack time cause overburdened with work to do proper research in a world of fake news (read: propaganda) and micro targeting. Honestly, I find it victim blaming.

For example, Trump distanced himself from Project 2025. Now the people he has selected for his government are from Heritage Foundation and all that.

Furthermore, he incited a coup yet still is going to sit on a throne. That is not democracy in my book.
I don’t think the concern is economic equity, it’s social harm.

Kids whose parents choose to restrict will suffer social consequences vs parents who don’t.

The whole point of the law is to reduce the social harm caused by social media.
I have a sneaky suspicion if you do anything other than the sleep during these 1 million tasks, you'll blow up memory on all of these systems.

That's kind of the Achille's Heel of the benchmark. Any business needing to spawn 1 million tasks, certainly wants to do something on them. It's the "do something on them" part that usually leads to difficulties for these things. Not really the "spawn a million tasks" part.
What “culture war” are you talking about? The one where Brits are frustrated with how their country has gone off the deep end in terms of sanity?

Each country works as a free market (inside a rails defined by their national agencies), where energy providers aim to offer a price low enough to be among the cheapest to cover the energy consumption forecast.

For those countries connected, those providers can participate in other markets. France power plants can sell energy to Spain, but not to Portugal.

The trick here is that the price each opperator's offer is somewhat calculated based on opportunity cost. Wind turbines has no opportunity cost, since not selling the energy generated from the wind now does not make them able to sell it in the future (that energy can not be stored at industrial level). Then, all the accepted offers for a given forecast are paid at the price of the most expensive offer among them.

Could someone explain something fundamental to me about the need for double-entry accounting? Why can't your source of truth instead be proper SQL tables following these schemas (using Python tuple/list notation for convenience)?

transactions: [
(txID, timestamp, [
(accountID, delta, otherInfo),
...
], reason),
...
]

accounts: [
(accountID, routingNumber, accountNumber, ownerID),
...
]

Crucially, notice that "accounts" don't track balances here, and so I'm asking: why would I need TWO entries per transaction, and why would I need to do my own tracking of the balance of every account, when I can just keep a single entry per transaction in a proper ACID database and then build any view I need on top (such as running balances) with a battle-tested projection mechanism (like a SQL View) so that I still track a single source of truth?
> Around 13.6% of incels reported a willingness to commit rape if they could get away with it – though the authors note that this figure is actually lower than rates in the general male population, where estimates lie between 19–35%.

Someone flagged my earlier comment, to their shame. Are we just going to ignore this completely absurd claim? Perhaps one in seven incels is only held back from committing rape by the fear of getting caught, but 20% of all men? Nonsense. I would be shocked if it’s higher than 1%.
It's just like it was with pen and paper... Everyone trusts what is written on the financial statement but when they come to withdraw the cash, all at once, suddenly everyone finds out that the gold isn't there.

It's the same with computer systems. The charts show something, but until enough people decide to all withdraw their money or sell their stock at the same time, nobody has any idea that the money or asset simply isn't there or nobody knows just how frothy the valuation is.

Social media and search algorithms are highly optimized to ensure that people don't sell or withdraw stuff at the same time. Modern media directs massive attention towards certain topics as a way to draw attention away from other topics which could collapse the economy.

Also, imagine a bank has a serious bug which causes millions or billions of dollars to disappear every year or creates extra illegitimate dollars. Imagine they only discover this bug after a few years of operation... How likely is it that they will report it to an authority? They didn't notice it for years, why not pretend they didn't notice it for a few MORE years... The incentive to delay the reckoning is an extremely powerful one.
Ride public transportation. I do, and the train cars on my line are made in Japan
> proportional to their range than their size

Well and total vehicle weight impacts EV range far more than it does ICE range. So the leaf is both small and with shorter range but the gain is a smaller battery pack.

> as new battery chemistries improve energy density

You can have improved density today. You're just not going to like the charge and discharge characteristics very much. EVs have lots of multi variable problems due to their efficiency and utilization aims. To be fair it just is a harder problem to solve but the years of development and lack of clear gains are still showing obvious bottlenecks.

> so significant improvements in power to weight ratio are less likely to be forthcoming.

You can have vastly improved PWR now. Just ride a motorcycle. I think Power train Weight to Total Vehicle Weight is what you really want to think about. In either EV or ICE case there are still plenty of gains to be had here.

CGo compilation can be insanely slow.
If you want to run 1 million coroutines that just sleep in your app, yeah nodejs looks very efficient. The problem is that when each coroutine needs to allocate memory, which I would suppose anything real would do, the 2Kb Go pre-allocates will be an advantage - as it will probably be required except for the most trivial workloads (like in this benchmark) - and then because Go actually runs them in parallel, unlike nodejs, you would likely see a huge improvement in both performance and memory usage with Go or Rust.
Energy is energy. Why make a special category for heating and transport?
Yeah it’s the drawback, originally it used segmented stacks but that has its own issues.

And it’s probably not the worst issue because deep stacks and stack pointers will mostly be relevant for long running routines which will stabilise their stack use after a while (even if some are likely subject to threshold effects if they’re at the edge, I would not be surprised if some codebases ballasted stacks ahead of time). Also because stack pointers will get promoted to the heap if they escape so the number of stack pointers is not unlimited, and the pointer has to live downwards on the stack.
Seems like a very American riddle, three-quarters of these are based on assuming US-centric associations to the words. Not very surprising that a non-US-based model doesn't get there as easily as a US-based one.
I totally agree, but I don't find it weird that lithium led for so long.

Sure, in theory, sodium-ion batteries are made of inexpensive materials and are easy to build. You don't need any nickel, copper or cobalt at all and sodium is dirt cheap. But if you look into it, you'll find many thousands of similar examples across countless fields, where something uses advanced materials or parts when there is a simpler and cheaper alternative. If you ever design for manufacturing, you quickly realize that the key is often not simplicity, the key is identifying and using existing high-volume processes. In other words, don't find the cleanest way to solve your problem; instead, kludge together a solution using off-the-shelf solutions already produced at incredible scale.

The problem is that low-cost manufacturing is an art form and is far more complex than anyone realizes. Scale is important, sure, but what you really need is scale+time+intense cost competition. In that environment, it is very hard to start on a significantly different chemistry to compete with lithium-ion. (LiFePO4 is similar enough in manufacturing.) IMO the only place you could start this is China, which would leave BYD and CATL as the only two that could pull it off.
> But you wouldn't call a million tasks with `Promise.all` in Node, right? That's just not a thing that one does.

But neither would you wait on a waitgroup of size 1 million in Go... right?
I am American. I operate in reality. The reality in which China imposes any and all kind of barriers on American businesses while we can't do the same.

That has to change.

Tariffs are one way to enforce fairness (similar labor/environment/subsidy conditions).

Also, cars being more expensive will increase demand for public transit, not all of which needs federal funding.
As if there's an option to do so...
What do they mean by social media? Is HN social media? Is Yelp? Is any site that has comments and discussions?
> If the pollution is from tires, then tax tires.

I don't think you can tax tires high enough that it will make a difference, but the same is also true if we attempt to tax by weight. Any tax is going to be the equivalent of slapping €10 on a plane ticket. It's not enough to stop the behaviour, but might be enough to keep some people driving on dangerously worn down tires.

It also doesn't matter if the car is an EV or ICE, the behaviour we want to limit is driving. The idea of taxing the tires could of cause lead to development of tires that doesn't shed microplastic.

This is also Western boomer mentality and it's alarming that people haven't realized it.

I work in manufacturing in NA and America is rapidly falling behind China on the ability to manufacture quality high-tech goods. It's not something that's on the horizon, it's something that's already happened. We still have an edge in semiconductors but even that is eroding (just look at the hollowing out of Intel in the last half decade).

A bit of a first-hand witness context

The Georgian Dream party rigged the elections, stole at least 20% of the votes, securing a constitutional majority.

During the election campaign, the Georgian Dream party promised its voters EU membership.

The party approved the composition of the parliament and government with a gross violation of the law.

The party presented an average football player without a higher education as a candidate for the country's president. This same person could not become the president of the football federation due to the lack of a higher education.

The self-appointed prime minister announced that the question of EU membership will not be considered until 2028.

Unorganized protests began simultaneously in five cities. Police dispersed people with a mixture of cold water and pepper spray. Dozens of protesters were hospitalized with chemical burns to their skin.
