Whoever at the economist decided to post their usual bait-slop garbage to HN chose the wrong article. People here love when clicking edit opens a new page and the spacing is 1.5pt. Seriously though, i…

I agree. What is with the random precore/core stuff anyways. But on the flip side, this thing seems to be doing a lot. I chugged through a couple thousand lines and there seems to be some amount …

Almost the entire stock gets logged until there's so little left that they stand up a protection scheme for it. The same happened to teak and rosewood here.

Not really. Outliers of that sort get dealt with as an exceptional case and it works. I've seen amazingly bright batchmates get into all sorts of programs without most of the qualifications, beca…

While edge cases may exist, for the most part, a test score / GPA / anything where the numerator is almost as big as the denominator is a good signal.

Yeah - is such a large dom of essentially text expected to be that slow? For what it's worth I use a small script that essentially deletes old chat messages DOM nodes which significantly speeds i…

But then why does it become dog slow when the chat becomes bigger?

Yep, we used manual math + some log tables for calculations in our school exams as late as last decade. Since calculators were not allowed. The exam would be such that you would need the log tables on…

In indian music, swaras only ever exist as relative pitch markers and as such even if you do have perfect pitch it doesn't impede anything. It just comes in the back of your mind as a separate th…

While I've never liked to use deno compared to node and bun, this looks particularly good. The zero config options are nice, all the features seem to be in the place I like, and I'm happy th…

There are many ways it can work depending on the cpu: 1. No dma, instead you use bounce buffers and the cpu manually encrypts and decrypts on behalf of the pcie 2. The IOMMU sets certain pages as unen…

I think they meant function that takes a value x as an argument.

A semi-famous-in-academia family member seems to be in all of the weights, except for llama3.2 1B and qwen3 8B. You'd expect the 1B to be the worst, but actually it got quite close.. qwen3 8B was…
