I was going to reply that this is pretty common for web apps, e.g. NodeJS or many Python applications also do not use multi-threading, instead just spawning separate processes that run in parallel. But apparently, HN ran as 1 process on 1 c

Indeed, Dieselgate is 10 years ago. If they would've suffered badly from it, we would've seen that by now. Sure, they've had to pay fines and compensations, but that seems to have been dealt with. In fact, you could argue the

I don't understand why it's even a question that Meta trained their LLM on copyrighted material. They say so in their paper! Quoting from their LLaMMa paper [Touvron et al., 2023]: > We include two book corpora in our training

If I understand [1] correctly, two new zones (or one new one and the old one) would be created in that case. E.g. if Strasbourg would be occupied by Germany in 2027, a new Europe/Strasbourg could be created which has the same rules as

But I guess 100k cars are bought are bought more in person than 10k cars. For most people, the more money you spend, the more you'd like to talk to a real human being.

I assume the parent comment proposes land value tax as a replacement for existing property tax schemes. In other words, instead of taxing the value of the land + whatever is built on it (current system in most parts of the world), you only

What I do is put the Anki widget quite front-and-center on my phone. Whenever I absentmindedly unlock my phone, the red squircle containing a positive number activates my monkey brain and I want to get it to 0.

Their presentation [1] contains a few slides with the motivation for this framework (they have existing Thrift services in C++ and Python, and want to start using Rust too) and why actors (answer: they scale better than a naive solution?).
