Filling in “details” was the conceit of Chevron, but that’s not how it was used in practice. The agencies were creating vast new programs from whole cloth and demanding that courts defer to their interpretation of the statute as allowing it. Moreover, it has the effect of making it impossible for the legislature to count on the executive actually honoring compromises and trade offs baked into the legislation.

Matthew 6:1,5

"Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. [...] And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

Since this was oriented toward a Python audience, it may have also been useful to demonstrate on the poster how in Python you can create the embeddings (e.g. using requests/OpenAI client and hitting OpenAI's embeddings API) and calculate the similarities (e.g. using numpy) since most won't read the linked notebooks. Mostly as a good excuse to showoff Python's rare @ operator for dot products in numpy.

As a tangent, what root data source are you using to calculate the movie embeddings?

As someone that has friends on every chat platform out there, I must say that Telegram is the most polished chat app in existence. Everything just works. I notice bugs in WhatsApp all the time, but hardly ever with Tg. Even stuff like video chat and video messages has always been reliable and fast. As a developer, the API is amazing... in 30min you can make a bot and publish it. The real shame is two fold: chats are not encrypted by default and there's so. much. bot spam on the platform. These two problems have made it my least favorite platform, even though the usage experience is the best.

Matthew 14:

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

A lot of people see this as purely a supernatural thing Jesus did. As if the pile of broken bread pieces just kept growing and growing out of nothing. Maybe that's what happened. But maybe it was also that so many saw the charity that was happening and were also so compelled to share what they had. I think both possibilities are supported by this scripture.

A bit of a personal Mandela effect for me is animals being way smarter in the past five years.

I distinctly remember reading an an animal above newspaper column 30 years ago where the author considered the person absurd for suggesting her dog gets mad and she leaves and pees on the furniture out of spite.

Nowadays we have dogs talking using buttons and expressing all kind of complex emotions.

ENG-heavy teams often overlook that positioning and messaging are your biggest growth levers early on. Case in point: Superhuman spent 6 months on messaging before building. If you’re debating PM vs. PD, first ask:

‘Can we even articulate why customers should pick us?’

‘Are our landing pages/conversations losing people who should get it?’ I’ve helped similar startups fix this. Happy to audit your messaging for free—DM me.

The modern web is sleek and polished, but something’s been lost. I still remember how cool it felt seeing a clean CSS layout for the first time — text aligned perfectly without tables, seamless transitions — it was magic.

But now everything feels uniform. Design is so standardized I can’t remember the last time a site genuinely surprised me or made me want to dig into the code or copy it for my own.

It feels like we’re browsing the Walmart music section… efficient, predictable, and totally sterile. I miss the indie record store vibe — quirky, surprising, maybe even a little messy, but full of personality.

Not to go to far off topic, but from an energy perspective, I'm not worried. We're about to hit 1TW/year in global solar deployment, batteries are following fast behind that. My concern is what happens when stakeholders deeply entrenched in the petro economy start to fail (Russia, Middle East, etc), as well as the lagging impact of climate change; we're on escape trajectory with regards to clean energy and electrification, but climate change mitigation will still cost trillions, and the resulting climate changes will be felt by those existing over at least the next century (assuming humans discover an efficient, inexpensive greenhouse gas sequestration mechanism and a reversal can be engineered).

Energy abundance is coming, but the transition and disruption will be messy.

> You may not directly see him, but the whole school would know about it, even if he was just there for 5 minutes.

My question would be: If the Bible was written by an omniscient and all-powerful God, then why does it have so many inaccuracies in it? Easy ones include a global flood that killed every animal on Earth. (Except for the two of each animal on Noah's ark, which would have overheated with so many animals in it, if it hadn't collapsed under its own weight first.)

But there are also internal contradictions between the four gospels of the New Testament. Why would God make his own books inaccurate? To me, that indicates they are not the product of divine inspiration but the written accounts of oral histories.

Your response may be that God introduced these errors into his holy books to test our faith. But at that point, isn't the answer to every contradiction and inaccuracy just, "To test our faith"? Is there literally anything that would change your mind, or is your faith just being tested even harder?

If that were a job, I was characterize it as a boring job, not a stressful one.

I'm sure experiences differ, but mine was that school was trivially easy and inconsequential, but sometimes time intensive.

I wouldn't consider a job where I have to go and listen to a boring presentation for 8 hours a day stressful. What is stressful is the rat race and making sure I can afford mortgage payments

> After failing hard earlier in life, I became risk adverse, but also have had some success. I hope to have enough investments by the time I stop working that my kids can survive without working if needed. I also hope I have provided them enough resources and life skills to live a good life after I'm good until they're gone.

> I think now we are in a situation where "being right" isn't good enough. You have to both "be right" and wield power, and right now one side of the argument is out of power and doesn't seem willing to exercise any power that they might actually have.

It’s always been this way. “History is written by the victors” is not a new concept. If you ever thought it wasn’t this way you just weren’t aware of who was and who wasn’t in power.

Even your quote above - today, any criticism of Israel in Gaza is labeled antisemitism. Was this term abused in the past like it was today, or is the current abuse something new?

Clickhouse has a wide range of really interesting technologies that are not in Postgres; fundamentally, it's not an OLTP database like Postgres but more-so aimed at OLAP workloads. I really appreciate Clickhouse's focus on performance and quite a bit of work goes into optimizing the memory allocation and operations among different data types.

The heart of Clickhouse are these table engines (they don't exist in Postgres) https://clickhouse.com/docs/engines/table-engines . The primary column (or columns) is ordered in some way and adjacent values in memory are from the same column in the table. Index entries span wide areas (EG: By default there's only one key record in the primary index for every 8192 rows) because most operations in Clickhouse are aggregate in nature. Inserts are also expected to be in bulk (They are initially a new physical part that is later merged into the main table structure). A single DELETE is an ALTER TABLE operation in the MergeTree engine. :)

This structure allows it to literally crunch billions of values per second (brutally, not with pre-processing, erm, "tricks" although there is a lot of support for that in Clickhouse as well). I've had tables with hundreds of columns and 100+ billion rows that are nearly as performant as a million row table if I can structure the query to work with the table's physical ordering.

Clickhouse recommends not using nullable fields because of the performance implications (it requires storing a bit somewhere for each value). That's how much they care about perf and how close to the raw data type it is that their memory allocation uses. :)

This is literally not true by scripture; Abraham was very rich, and is considered righteous because of his faith. He did not withhold even his own son from God. Money did not own Abraham's faith.

Job refused to curse or condemn God even when he lost most of his family and all of his holdings - his friends tried to tell him that because he lost his riches, he had obviously sinned, but he refused this. He gained back the things he lost, because of his faith in God.

Job 1:20-22

20 Then Job stood up, tore his robe, shaved his head, fell to the ground, bowed very low, 21 and exclaimed:

“I left my mother’s womb naked, and I will return to God naked. The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken. May the name of the Lord be blessed.”

22 Job neither sinned nor charged God with wrongdoing in all of this.

In those times, rich people were considered blessed by God, poor people or those afflicted with disease were considered cursed by God. People afflicted from birth were said to have been "born in sin" due to the sins of their parents.

The Pharisees and Sadducees were wealthly, influential people who preached exactly this. The Sadducees in particular didn't believe in an afterlife, and so were focused on only the "here and now" and material things of this world. Jesus specifically called them out to let them know their wealth wouldn't get them into heaven, and their success was not a sign of righteousness.

Jesus distinctly preached that money could not buy salvation, and that those whose focus was on money could not focus on God, and would therefore be condemned. He explicitly called out Zaccheus, a tax collector, when Zaccheus promised to repay any money he'd taken in bad faith four times over and to give away half of what he owned to the poor:

Luke 19:9-10: 9 Jesus said to him,"Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

Zaccheus probably had a lot of money left even when he was done, but the point is that money was no longer the priority in his life.

God may choose to bless people with prosperity, but your wallet doesn't make you righteous. It doesn't make you unrighteous either - your actions and your faith, or lack thereof condemn you. The whole of the Law is:

Matthew 22:34-40

34 When the Pharisees learned that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and, to test him, one of them, a lawyer, asked this question, 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 The second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 Everything in the Law and the Prophets depends on these two commandments.”

"SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites). The amount of web traffic that SQLite can handle depends on how heavily the website uses its database. Generally speaking, any site that gets fewer than 100K hits/day should work fine with SQLite. The 100K hits/day figure is a conservative estimate, not a hard upper bound. SQLite has been demonstrated to work with 10 times that amount of traffic.

The SQLite website (https://sqlite.org/) uses SQLite itself, of course, and as of this writing (2015) it handles about 400K to 500K HTTP requests per day, about 15-20% of which are dynamic pages touching the database. Dynamic content uses about 200 SQL statements per webpage. This setup runs on a single VM that shares a physical server with 23 others and yet still keeps the load average below 0.1 most of the time" - The documentation

I use sqlite as the database for my blog - https://www.rxjourney.net/

For most of us, it's all we need.

Expanding for the original question:

Roughly speaking, Postgres is to SQLite what Clickhouse is to DuckDB.

OLTP -> Online Transaction Processing. Postgres and traditional RDBMS. Mainly focused on transactions and addressing specific rows. Queries like "show me all orders for customer X".

OLAP -> Online Analytical Processing. Clickhouse and other columnar oriented. For analytical and calculation queries, like "show me the total value of all orders in March 2024". OLTP database typically store data by column rather than row, and usually have optimizations for storage space and query speed based on that. As a tradeoff they're typically slower for OLTP type queries. Often you'd bring in an OLAP db like Clickhouse when you have a huge volume of data and your OLTP database is struggling to keep up.

The irony is that in many cases, it'd take less carbon for them to deliver to your front door than it would for you to get to the post office -- if they're already delivering to someone else near you, their extra distance traveled might be a block or so (or 0 if they were going to drive past your house anyway).

For delivery-to-post-office to be more carbon-efficient than them delivering to your house, the inequality (additional distance you need to travel to get to post office / your mpg) < (additional distance they need to travel to get to your house / their mpg) must be true. If you were gonna drive past the post office anyway, or your vehicle is significantly more efficient than their delivery van, then it might pencil out. If you're making an extra trip, it probably doesn't make sense.

Validation is such a critical (and tricky) phase—especially in healthcare where trust matters. A few places I’ve seen work for similar startups:

Reddit micro-communities (e.g., r/ChronicIllness or r/HealthTech) if you frame it as a discussion vs. a survey.

UserInterviews.com (paid, but high-quality respondents).

Local clinics/hospitals sometimes allow flyers for patient feedback (old-school but effective).

Side note: I’m a copywriter who specializes in healthcare + early-stage messaging, happy to brainstorm phrasing for your survey if it helps boost responses. (No pitch, just free advice!)

This is fascinating study, thanks for sharing!

It definitely brings questions about repeated mRNA vaccinations (and mRNA therapies I guess then too?).

Good thing repeated boosters for COVID shouldn't affect other diseases if I understood the study correctly (since target protein is different). Can be an issue for flu vaccines for sure (or it's not since protein used slightly different year to year?).

The harm is homogenization of culture stymies concurrent evolution of new ideas. Whether that’s more important than the sheer speed of good ideas traveling the world is an open question.

But there’s definitely less creative work produced without the direct or indirect influence of outside forces. As an artist you simply can’t unsee things. So we may end up at some local maxima of creativity.

I'm curious what you think counts as "framing in terms of mental health." Or more interestingly, if you think this article constitutes "framing in terms of mental health," I'm curious what you wouldn't consider as such.

This article does use words related to mental states, like "comforting" and "relaxing." But that's pretty difficult to avoid in most writing of non-trivial length.

It's Value Added Tax, which is basically a sales tax[1], not a tariff (unless you're a certain president who thinks it is?).

The idea is that VAT was supposed to apply to everything equally (AFAIK in most EU countries it does?), but applying it to some things like food, children’s clothes or books was seen as kinda a bad idea when they brought it in for the UK in the 1970s, so they don't have it (technically the do, but at a 0% rate which is a technicality only accountants care about). But with food they didn't want to apply to frivolous luxuries. Which in some cases is fairly obvious (alcohol has VAT), and snacks like crisps are also bourgeois luxuries, so get the full 20% (oh, for the days of 17.5%...). This split does lead to some interesting tax tribunal decisions, so a chocolate covered biscuit does have VAT, but a cake with a chocolate topping doesn't, leading to the famous Jaffa Cake case, or this case about rather crisp like Poppadoms made by a crisp company.

Over fields, polynomials mostly behave as expected, and systems of linear equations are solved very similarly to R. Basically, you can adapt quite a lot of real and complex algorithms to other fields, including matrix operations.

Once you leave fields and then even integral domains, things get weird. For example, the quadratic equation x^2 = 1 has four roots in Z_8.

> “On top of that, with inbound tourism and eating out resurging as we came out of the pandemic, demand increased,”

Why does eating out increase demand for rice, rather than just shifting the same volume of consumption from being through homes/grocery stores to restaurants? Do people eating out pick rice more than people cooking at home? If this was true, and if people aren't in general eating more ... then have prices for some other foods that are more popular for home meals commensurately decreased?
