The image shows a search results page with the query "are os threads really slow" displayed at the top. AI Overview Yes, OS threads can be slower than some alternative concurrency models, particularly for CPU-bound tasks, due to the overhead of context switching and resource management by the operating system kernel. However, for 1/0-bound tasks, OS threads can still be beneficial as they allow the application to continue processing while waiting for 1/0 operations. The image shows a search results page with the query "are os threads really slow research" displayed at the top. AI Overview No, OS threads are not inherently slow, and can actually improve performance, especially in multithreaded systems. While there are some overheads associated with thread management, these are generally outweighed by the benefits of concurrency and parallelism on multi-core processors.

hah. oversight on toilet etiquette signs
This image shows a set of three bathroom signs instructing proper toilet usage: 1. Left sign (red circle with slash): Do not stand and urinate on the toilet seat 2. Middle sign (red circle with slash): Do not squat on top of the toilet seat 3. Right sign (green circle): Do sit properly on the toilet seat This is a common type of instructional signage found in public restrooms, particularly in places with international visitors who may be accustomed to different toilet styles and usage. The signs use universal symbols to communicate proper bathroom etiquette without requiring text.

screenshot of article text: Some of the 20 million people we threw off their lifesaving medication will find other sources, but many won't. And every day, 1,400 babies will be born with HIV who would otherwise be HIV-free if we hadn't frozen the programs meant to help their mothers. Here's what our 44-page report boils down to: about a million additional people will die terrible deaths every single year for the foreseeable future if PEPFAR doesn't get reversed.
