At first glance, this looks pretty similar to the Bob Lee murder last year. I find it interesting and a little surprising how different the reaction and coverage has been

The article claims that the daylight savings transition happens at 11pm in pacific time. However, my understanding is that this transition should happen at 2 am for all us time zon…

One of the coolest things about this demo is that the token generation runs on a single node using just 8 RDUs (SambaNova’s chip). Disclosure: I work at SambaNova and was part of t…

Hi HN! I'm very excited to share Sambaverse with you all! This is a project we've been working on for a while inside SambaNova that lets you compare open source models side-by-side…

My main takeaway is that you can easily 3D print a small device that converts a semiautomatic gun into a fully automatic gun, and apparently having one of these devices (a “switch”…

From the underlying paper[1], I found this excerpt: “The photocurrent or the short-circuit current density (JSC) extracted from BTO is around 0.415 μA/cm2. … The JSC value from SBC…

If you haven't read it yet, Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash is an excellent novel that explores something along those lines

Very surprising to see this headline (although I doubt it will come to pass). Given recent movements towards ending the war on drugs (e.g., legalizing Marijuana), it seems rather h…

Perhaps I missed this discussion in the article, but what are the theoretical advantages of these organic transistors over the traditional CMOS transistors motivating this research…

My understanding is that underground is a constant 50-60°F — wouldn’t that provide a heat difference?

It means using `git merge --squash` which performs a normal merge but then instead of adding a merge commit, it just makes a single regular commit with the changes.

> Programmer discipline doesn’t scale Thank you for putting this so eloquently. This has basically been the sole tenet of my programming philosophy for several years, but I’ve neve…

Glad to hear there’s a solution for this! Thanks for responding :)
