To everyone saying SF-LA already has plenty of flights, consider the following benefits of trains: - No need to worry about how much luggage I have. It will likely be a minimal charge if there is even one - Trains are more comfortable with

In Mechanical Engineering, this is 100% a thing with fluid dynamics simulation. You need to know if the output is BS based on a number of factors that I don't understand.

Liquid oxygen will oxidize anything it comes in contact with. You have to use specific metals for the connections and piping.

I don't know if strict import control is a good idea. Look up license raj in India. It also added a lot of opportunities for corruption.

Has there been an Indian government that will be viewed favorably through western lenses? - Pt. Nehru wanted Socialism and State Control. - Indira Gandhi brought the Emergency and all that came with that - PM Vajpayee conducted the nuclear

The Guardian article is interesting because it helped untangle the idea of liberalism and democracy in my mind. How did they become so deeply linked?

I would've thought that Windows would be the next platform to port to given its larger user base. Maybe the decision speaks to the distribution of Kagi users across operating systems.

Intel/Samsung are behind. That is a fact. The question is, is it better to wage a massive war that will cost hundreds of billions of dollars and many lives than to make an equal investment into the semi-conductor industry.

If anyone has heard Joe Armstrong's talk about how communication is limited by latency and data can only travel so fast. I think having smaller a partitions locally is an optimal point. If You want global consistency then you'll h

Is the code written by the deepseek model? I should probably give up on being a software engineer if it is.

How have 40% of the perpetrators escaped? Seems a little high given how sensitive of a subject school shootings are.

A lot of suggestions ask the poster to not store photos on their phone, but this takes away the functionality from their phone that they actually want in service using 1 app for 5 minutes.

But they didn't make that tradeoff. They said sync FFI for us but not for you.

Given the limited context length of most LLMs, is there value in turning in an entire codebase into a doc to feed it into an LLM? I think cherry-picking relevant sections would be necessary to make it function effectively. Has anyone tried

You are right but the vhdl-like syntax is quite nice. It does some surprisingly modern things.

What makes a separate cellular modem better than an internal cellular modem? Is it because software updates are available for the separate modems? I am evaluating some Nordic semiconductor parts for a project. They seem to have an internal

Zephyr RTOS[1] is an RTOS supported by the Linux foundation. It has similar structures to Linux for device configuration like a device tree and tries to emulate POSIXish APIs. I think some embedded people are put off by this configuration s

See Ratan Tata for someone who didn't completely lose their morals when they gained wealth. He's a gem of a person. He's Indian so not many on HN will know about him.

IIRC, Nvidia was already ahead in software support 5 years ago. Image recognition was the big thing and the only way I could train them was on Nvidia GPU or Google tpu. With this context, the articles clain that >Intel correctly identifi

Is it better to programmatically interact with bash to provide the features VSCode does? Do note that I am unwilling to accept an implementation with less features/ease of use! I can see how writing a custom agent that provides remote

That's an issue with any plugin system, right? AFAIK no IDE has a plugin system with capabilities or a sandboxed interpreter. VSCode does have a thing where it's like do you trust the authors of this project. Not sure what it does

This is going to sound naive but, I don't understand what the security issue is. If you can ssh into a machine and port forward a socket, you already have permission to do all the other things. VSCode's protocol seems to be exposi

Land in HK is weird. The lease thing is true but there are massive national parks that have nothing built at all. The buildings that do exist are ~50 stories even though that's not optimal because of the typhoon situation. So construct

Have you had scalability issues because your tables got too big? Is there a mechanism to GC workflows that are completed?

I'd love to read it. Getting exactly once semantics is quite an interesting topic.

This seems like temporal only without as much server and complexity. Maybe they ignore it or it really is that simple. Overall really cool! There are some scalability concerns that are brought that I think are valid but maybe you have a Pos

What if you use it to get unstuck from a problem? Then come back and learn more about what you got stuck on. That seems like responsible use.
