0 CommentsEntertainment

✨ Check out this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: Strong gravitational lensing and microlensing of supernovae (SNe) are emerging as a new probe of cosmology and astrophysics in recent years. We provide an overview of this nascent research field, starting with a summary of the first discoveries of strongly lensed SNe. We describe the use of the time delays between multiple SN images as a way to measure cosmological distances and thus constrain cosmological parameters, particularly the Hubble constant, whose value is currently under heated debates. New methods for measuring the time delays…

✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: ✅ **What You’ll Learn**: HackEurope is over. In many ways, it was a complete shitshow (vibe coded inaccessible UI for participants, lots of delays, miscommunications, and other issues too many to list). But now that the caffeine overdose and sleep deprivation is over, I can say that there were actually some important lessons. TL;DR: Front-end is almost everything.

We argued that the main culprit was PJM’s auction design choices and how PJM models demand and supply. To better understand the extent of the problem, our Energy Model team spent the last 6 months reverse-engineering PJM’s main system model, the ‘Reserve Requirement Study’, which to date has been a black box. This study is how PJM decides what type of and…
