news.ycombinator.com Tim De Chant 2026-02-19 08:38:14

Even Tesla’s energy storage business, which has been a small, yet notable bright spot, can’t escape the cloud that’s hanging over the company. For the second consecutive quarter, deployments of its Powerwall and Megapack stationary storage products have declined, according to stats released by Tesla. In the second quarter of this year, the company installed 9.6 gigawatt-hours of storage, down 0.8 gigawatt-hours from the first quarter. Tesla’s energy storage division peaked in the fourth quarte

New evidence that some supernovae may be a “double detonation”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-19 09:39:23

Type Ia supernovae are critical tools in astronomy, since they all appear to explode with the same intensity, allowing us to use their brightness as a measure of distance. The distance measures they've given us have been critical to tracking the expansion of the Universe, which led to the recognition that there's some sort of dark energy hastening the Universe's expansion. Yet there are ongoing arguments over exactly how these events are triggered. There's widespread agreement that type Ia supe

The term “monad” is often invoked when describing patterns in functional programming. Yet explanations typically swing between high-level metaphors and deep mathematical abstractions. Each approach offers part of the picture, intuition without precision, or rigor without intuition but seldom both.

The Evolution of Caching Libraries in Go

The Evolution of Caching Libraries in Go¶ For the last few years, I've been developing caching library, and today I'd like to talk about the evolution of caches in Go and where we stand today. Especially since Go 1.24 was officially supposed to focus on caching improvements, but I haven't heard much news about them - time to fix that . Before we begin, I believe it’s important to mention that in programming languages with GC (such as Go), caching libraries are divided into two main types: on-h

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Jaws is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. While the traditional time to do a rewatch is the Fourth of July weekend, if you want to see the film bigger, sharper, and possibly louder than ever before, you’ll need to hold out until the end of August to catch Universal Pictures’ celebratory 4K re-release screenings in IMAX, RealD 3D, 4DX, and D-Box.

INTRODUCTION This is a library for building and querying a compressed form of set-membership filters, named k-XORSAT filters. These filters can be used similar to how one would use a Bloom filter but with one restriction --- items cannot be added after the filter is built. So, this is an 'offline' or 'static' filter, whereas Bloom filters are considered 'online' or 'dynamic'. The advantage is that k-XORSAT filters achieve very near the optimal memory usage. That is, they use much less memory th

Paramount, the owner of CBS News, announced late Tuesday it had agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal. The lawsuit alleged that “60 Minutes” had edited an interview with Kamala Harris to make it more favorable to her in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, making it one of the most laughably absurd lawsuits Trump has ever filed.
