Your history is all valid, but I don't think it really hits on the main motivations for how we got here.
Thread per request works perfectly fine if your application is CPU constrained.
However the observation was made, that most web applications are IO constrained, the majority of the time spent serving a web request is spent waiting for a database or downstream API.
Since most of the threads are idle waiting, your application needs many threads to optimally utilize the servers resources.
There was a perception(valid or not) that OS threads have too much memory and scheduling overhead.
Nginx came out using async io, and it could handle much more concurrent requests than apache, which used a threaded model, it sparked a lot of interest in different kinds of application managed scheduling.
It inspired initiatives like the reactive manifesto[0], which spawned tools like RXJava.
If you are worried about the ethics of using a company laptop to do personal work, you might be taking it a bit far, what damage does this do to the company?
If you are worried about the company claiming rights over your personal work, then it is prudent.
For all the complaints like this that I see about AI generated websites, the complaints rarely come with counter examples of what a good human generated alternative should look like.
The authors blog design is perfectly functional, and I'm not suggesting that it needs any changes, but it also isn't a particularly impressive piece of web design.
Building up karma only requires that on balance one's contributions are popular.
Many accounts will contribute constructively on topics that are technical or objective, but then become more antagonistic on controversial or political topics.
So long as they don't severely break site rules, it's unlikely that they will be subject to major moderator action.
I think it's absurd to pretend like you can know how a stranger thinks.
If I had to predict either way, I would guess that it is significantly AI generated, but that isn't the same thing as being sure.
Almost every link submitted to HN has a comment about the content being AI generated, many of which are not, I would rather talk about the "tells" rather than make confident assertions that I can't prove.
If you want LLMs to have knowledge of the Norwegian language, wouldn't the most obvious thing to do be to build a good training dataset and make the dataset widely available? Why go to the expense of training your own model, especially when it will be inferior to state of the art models.
Any kind of radio control should be discounted when attacking a US carrier fleet, they will just be jammed.
Autonomous optically guided missiles/drones would fare better, but those are still vulnerable to being blinded by laser systems like HELIOS[0], and of course being shot down by anti air missiles or CIWS.
