That paper was an interesting read :) I googled a bit about it and found possible explanation https://replicationindex.com/2018/01/05/bem-retraction/
Correct, that would take more than 5 minutes, although still possible to do with Faiss (and not that hard relatively speaking - in the Teclis demo, I indeed did your second point - combine results with a keyword search engine and there are many simple solutions you can use out there like Meilisearch, Sonic etc.e). If you were to try using an external API for vector search, you would still need to build keyword based search separately (and then combining/ranking logic) so then you may be better off just building the entire stack anyway.

Anyway, for me, the number one priority was latency and it is hard to beat on-premise search for that.

Even then, a vector search API is just one component you will need in your stack. You need to pick the right model, create vectors (GPU intensive), then possibly combine search results with keyword based search (say BM25) to improve accuracy etc. I am still waiting to see an end-to-end API doing all this.
That's pretty loaded language, but it makes sense.

When an area is sparsely populated it doesn't matter as much how people behave. They aren't harming other people because there are none around.

As the population density increases the same actions like emitting pollution of one kind or another (air, sound, light, etc...) becomes a problem and all of the other people come together to ask you to stop, thus infringing on your liberties.

All of society is just people trying to get along with your neighbors. The more people you live near with the harder it is to stay on good relations with all of them. As the population continues to grow it becomes increasingly difficult to not live near other people, effectively impossible for an ever growing percentage of the population.

Some of this may even partially explain the rural/urban divide in politics.
Your question caused a likely ludicrous and unoriginal idea to pop into my head - I wonder if it would be possible to purposefully engineer and release a mutated form of a virus like SARS-CoV-2 that demonstrates the ability to replace more dangerous strains, but causes only mild symptoms? Essentially to accelerate a process that we hope to see happen naturally.
you can map on ok which is an alias for map_ok and then map_err for errors and or_else or_throw etc.

that's similar to what Java does with the Optional type, not great, but not bad either

the alternative is checking for nulls which is worse in any possibile way

I usually implement something like Kotlin Result when I have to code in Java

with a couple of static helpers to build the result: Result.success(T) Result.failure(Throwable t)

https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-result/

also Result in Rust has been an inspiration

Does it make a big difference? I heard 60hz freesync would make a bigger difference than high refresh, it looked nice when I had 144hz but aside from me sliding my mouse it didn’t really change anything.
Looks good, thanks, I bought the math one for my son.
> Sure, there's a limit, but if we're looking at function that is exponential until it reaches an inflection point where there's simply less hosts to infect than possible...

What do you think I meant by this? Do you think I believe that the rate of infection will keep going up literally exponentially until it hits 7 billion then turn flat, or do you think that by my usage of 'inflection point' maybe I had more nuance than that?
OK so this is about the go binary itself, not a new stamping behavior of binaries coming out of the compiler/linker?
Yeah, I should have said "speculation," not investment. They smell similar, but they're definitely different.

As an authorial technique starting off with a just so story about how marriage came to be that lasts several paragraphs and is obviously not at all how marriage came to be and doesn't even have the excuse of referencing some sort of supernatural source for being wrong might seem interesting but bored me too much to continue.

I'm supposing the rest of it is also wrong and badly argued.

A perhaps-stupid question: Does the software involved attempt any real classification of objects in its field of vision? Or is it a neural network - where all sorts of "interesting" things tend to happen for inputs which are a poor match for its training set?
> Tesla’s official response to the clip is that the auto high beam system still is classified as beta software, meaning it’s not fully developed

Things like this (and panel gap, and build quality, and over promising features) are why I have yet to buy a tesla, and likely won't any time soon. Even though they were the only viable luxury electric car (during my last car search), I decided to pass. I will probably seriously re-evaluate them for my next car purchase, but right now, no thanks!

BTW, I got my first demo of tesla FSD a few weeks ago. In san francisco, on market street, a place I'm sure is tested extensively. Within minutes, FSD had the car perform an illegal AND dangerous mid intersection merge followed by an extremely hard and jerky lane follow correction. lol.
Confused here, do you mean tesla model 3 or bmw m3 ?
It's not super glued to the floor. It's on a train, on its way to your station. How far away your station is from the train entirely depends on the length of the release cycle of your Linux distribution, and is completely outwith the control of this developer. That's how Linux distros work. If you want it sooner you can always use a rolling release, such as Manjaro.
I'm pretty sure it's an alias, so: `type any = interface{}`.

`type any interface{}` would declare a new type, while an alias is exactly another name for the same type.
China historically didn’t have IP law, just property of the state. It’s why you don’t see many inventions there aside from government contracted ones like gunpowder. No profit= no incentive.
I (a random Internet person) also consider this theory to be the most likely after many years spent in cyberspace.
headsup, pretty sure one still has to recompile foot to change their font or font size. yeah it's that minimalistic.

edit: comment says there is a way to change font size. oops, good. is it possible to change the font without recompiling?

edit2: this post is wrong, yay! there's a .ini file! great. apologies, i'm not sure if i simply had out of date, or just wrong knowledge someone shared. or maybe i was thinking of 'st' terminal?
Not true – Weaviate is open source: https://github.com/semi-technologies/weaviate
I tip generously, shout "behind" walking behind people and occasionally ask for "two tops" in restaurants on accident. Wrong again.

That's partly why I support laws that keep service workers safe, instead of regurgitating clichés like "vaccination police."
Im pretty sure its horrible (not kidding). Im also pretty sure it doesnt qualify your entire workplace as "rampant misandry" and im not 100% convinced (but i may be wrong if you actually tried to solve the problem in other ways) it requires the intervention of HR.

This approach (declarative schema management) is definitely gaining in popularity. I'm the author of https://www.skeema.io which provides declarative schema changes for MySQL and MariaDB -- it's now used by a few hundred companies and is downloaded/installed 30k times per month, due in part to heavy usage in CI/CD pipelines. There are a few other tools in this space, such as Migra and sqldef.
How about transforming an unsustainable standard of living into a sustainable one?

"Kill all humans" is so defeatist. So is "kill most humans and go back to being hunter/gatherers". That's not even trying. That is flipping the board because you think you're losing.
Much like tesla software, animal brains are finicky and considered in a state of constant development with no final release milestone in sight.
Also the argument that "the driver can opt-out" is so facile. I don't drive a Tesla, I can't opt out of the beta but I still need to live with the Teslas in my town.

Tesla is aggressively and non-consensually consuming part of my daily road-safety budget to subsidize development of beta software in pursuit of long-term profits.

Now if they open-sourced their FSD sensor data to help train other self-driving systems I think my perspective would be different.
We should start calling it the Austin way too.
A lot of VCs & founders trying to commercialize other people's SW are wondering this too :)

AFAICT: Most of those are basically UIs, data management, & integrations around the same set of vector index libs like FAISS + same set of models like HF, and even the same set of inference server libs (triton, aws/gcp, fastapi, ...). So you'd be evaluating different commercializations of the same core OSS tech. There are useful evaluations to do at that level, but more like licensing, business model, UI, model management, etc.

Another commenter below recognized that regular DBs (ES, Postgres, ..) are starting to add vector indexes. As someone doing a lot of architecting for log/event/graph correlation/investigation systems, I've been tracking whether managed neural search db is a feature vs new category, and how big. Ex: those corporate sides definitely feels like an Algolia competitor, but for the 99% case we normally do, maybe just an OSS feature/lib of whatever DB/framework you're already using? Not obvious!
When it's a plausible attack against an obviously-critical component it seems most prudent to assume the worst and hope to be wrong :)
Hmm, I don't see anything about white people being lazy in the parent either. I see that you're not interested in debate based on facts but are driven by your ideology. I wish you luck in reading different viewpoints and making your own decisions based on facts rather than what you've been told to believe.
> Just a bit of rain or snow and even TACC can't go a reasonable speed.

As you note, unlike most manufacturers' TACC, Tesla has made the (IMO terrible) decision to use a purely computer vision based system instead of radar. That's why it works so poorly in adverse weather conditions, and that's also why it will never work well in adverse weather conditions.
This gets tough. My company also loosely views Senior as the pinnacle of technical achievement with Lead and Principal engineers essentially being much higher level with no direct reports, but still doing policy, stakeholder, and political activities. Recently, some have pointed out the flaws in such a system as it leaves out the potential for promoting and giving a pay raise to senior staff that have continued making themselves far more valuable, but don't want to be capped or go into politics. There needs to be a path for someone who is just beast on the technical side and can be brought out to solve any problem. If that person is an order of magnitude more knowledgeable than your seniors, then they deserve to be distinguished as such. Our competitors that have figured this out have titles to better reflect this reality.
> Looking at the earth would blind it

Wouldn't that depend on how much dynamic range it has? Webb is intended to look at very dim signals in space so Earth would blind it, but if a spy-Webb were intended to track rocket or jet engines, things quite hotter than the rest of earth, perhaps it might be capable of that?
The new X server is already in Debian experimental [0], with a bit of luck it trickles down to unstable just in time for Ubuntu to pick it up for the 22.04 release.

If EU and UK thinks Visa and Master have a duopoly status and demands them to lower their ridiculous processing fees, they will do the same to Apple and Google. Visa and Master both cite there are plenty of competition such as cash, government payment system or what not. And how their 3% are used for consumer benefits like cash back and gift. But EU was having none of it.
Come on. As 0xbadcafebee hinted at, you can practically write OCaml in C if you wish to. And good luck dealing with timing attacks, secure data deletion and overflow behavior in other languages.
Yeah, Alpha had the same mutation as Omicron too.

I'm not a virologist by any stretch of imagination. Mutations seem to come in bundles; I'm just surprised that, given typical PCR tests only test for three RNA fragments, that we don't see mutations that evade it.

The main evolutionary pressure on Covid in developed countries is Public Health clamping down on it like a ton of bricks. A variant that quietly evades PCR tests, self-isolation etc. is set up for life.
Conversely I would never enter a relationship with someone I met at a bar, or that uses Tinder.

Work seems like a far better place to meet a partner, you get to know who they are without the haste of the other mediums you mentioned.
I think matrix LED lights are not allowed in US? But yes - having matrix headlights is a huge safety benefit. I am driving on high beam most of the time and only small parts are dimmed if there is a car in that sector. Works really well and it was well worth the money (Audi A6).
Imo part of the joy of hn is that this isn't actually true. Obviously not everyone knows what they are talking about, but some of the people who really do have serious knowledge on any given topic are on hn, and the average person here is at least slightly less likely to think they have knowledge when in fact they don't.
There never really seemed to be much of a hacker culture around haskell. People liked to talk about it much more than they liked to build things with it.

By contrast people really do seem to love building things in rust.
Anyone familiar with electronics manufacturing knows that for most of the people involved in the production of your stuff, English is a second language and roman characters are not their primary alphabet.

> it's a reason for hitting the big red "OKAY, STOP EVERYTHING" button and re-check of all of the other components and supply chain going into the product.

The notion that someone would pause a line over this (even if we were not in the middle of unprecedented component/manufacturing/shipping disruptions) is beyond fucking absurd, much less that anyone would do so until a "re-check of the supply chain" is completed.

Production schedules are tight as hell.

You miss your deadline for getting the board assembled, they don't make it to the line or factory putting the boards into the chassis on time.

That means they've started on another job and now you wait until they have free time on the line.

That means you don't get your container to the port on time.

That means you miss the space you had paid for on the ship.

That means you miss your product launch date. Possibly by months; especially right now, shipping is severely constrained.

That means your competitor takes your lunch money.

Go has had generic List<> and Map<> since before Go 1.0, though.

It's really interesting you used those as your examples because that need was fully met in a type-safe way already, and other examples are actually much rarer to come by.
We're up to 15 mins of very precise and accurate advanced tracking now. They can zoom in and show you the specific area of rotation in the doppler images, and can accurately predict tornado from that data well in advance of visiual confirmation. They can also tell when the tornado is on the ground by the signature of the debris being thrown around. It is all very much improved from when I was a kid. Money in research in this field has not been wasted.
Neat article. I don’t understand what he’s saying for number 4 though.

Yes, please, the iferr pattern drives me nuts. While I built a few years of my career on golang, I'm absolutely sick of the language at this point. At least we finally get generics.
Really? I thought they were all culture neutral raven matrices.
I took it to mean you’re claiming growth is exponential or nearly exponential until it nears 100% like a sigmoid function.

But that’s wrong. Growth stalls out much much earlier. It’s just not right to call disease spread exponential.
Dont use CMC. Coingecko is more reliable.

I don't think we need more granularity, but you could propose a more appropriate word for a global catastrophe of this scale then.
COVID however is most fatal to the eldery. Letting it simply rage out of control could push back the social security crisis a few years.

I don't think anything as Machiavellian as this is going on. I think it was all just a culmination of decades anti-expert propaganda and knee-jerk obstructionism coming to a head in a terribly fatal way.
Just got the regulatory framework in place for it IIRC.
There's a lot of that in New England, too.
There's a term for this and it's called 'Public Communications' sometimes into the domain of propaganda.

This is not a 'new' concept it's as old as time and 100% of people with real power have an awareness of this, it's almost a defining feature of an elite class.

Policy should obviously be guided by 'Truth' and we need transparency, at the same time, irrespective of how smart individuals are, as crowds, we act with a lowest-common-demoninator IQ and things need to be communicated effectively.

A great example of 'Truths We Cant't Handle' are vaccination-caused deaths.

All the vaccines cause death, and AZ is particularly tricky. But it's really hard to find exact data on that because it's very well suppressed. I suggest it's probably available with some digging but if you imagine a 'chain of communications' from the doctors, to health officials, to politicians to media, all of whom are ostensibly trying to act in the interest of the 'Public Good' - it's not going to come out.

Bonnie Henry in BC is a great Public Health official, I listen to her communications almost weekly, very smart, generally open, data-driven, smart journalists asking good questions - but they have never broached the subject of 'How many have died form vaccines'. The information is just too explosive. So they don't talk about it. We're learn more about it after the pandemic.

Are they though the only one available though? Both Mercedes and Volvo (Via the Polestar 2) seem to have pretty decent options that match most of Tesla's features and seem more polished and better built. They won't drive themselves but Tesla's don't seem to do a great job of that either.
What's amazing is that it's on Google Streetview already! Wow. Google sent a drone out to get a photo right away. Amazing.
SQL NULL and IEEE 754 NaN are very similar in weirdness of how they propagate, for very similar reasons (they are both hacks for encoding “not a value in the domain” in a value otherwise restricted to the domain; they aren't actual values but information about the absence of an acceptable value.)

Most other languages treat NULL as a distinct-but-normal value. IMO this isn't better or worse than SQL, or rather, the SQL approach is better for querying in SQL, whereas the approach common in general purpose programming languages is better more generally, but forces more special case handling.
Rentech doesn't try to predict where MSFT stock will be according to fundamentals, they simply looks at every other data of interest which is not MSFT stock price and they speculate:

"MSFT stock is too high/low considering that such and such has just moved and according to historical trends when such and such moves, then MSFT stock moves too"

Of course i'm simplifying.

But nobody really knows what they are doing, they are excellent at sales, Soros has achieved the same results listening to his body aches, and Buffett of course not the same results on a YoY % basis but he is working with a much larger pool of money.

At the end of the day it's like people trying to extrapolate the secrets of longevity from diet and habits. That old french lady lived to 123 smoking a pack a day till she was 100. There is no reason or rhyme to extrme outliers.

The more simple and likely explanaition is that in a large enough dataset somebody has to be a positive outlier and it just happened to be those particular people with that particular personal/professional history, and people who are blinded by the $$ are trying to replicate their success by maniacally looking at their personal/professional history and copying it.

Unfortunately copying their personal/professional history won't also include copying the luck of the statistical outlier.
First they took the term 'crypto,' which had always referred to cryptography, and now they have taken the term 'web.' I really hope that next year the hype is not about how cryptocurrency can do something or other for people, and somehow they also take the term 'human.'

This is about business and not me or them. All that matters is that you're getting what you want out of a business relationship with someone else. In my brief experience as a dev consultant/independent business owner:

1. You should get the scope of work from a client before they throw a number at you.
2. You should then turn them back a proposal with an amount (based on some estimate of hours, or whichever way you prefer to bill people (daily, retainer, hourly, whatever)

In this scenario, they threw out a number and it set a bad expectation on the dev. I don't blame the author. This is 300-400 hours of your life you will not get back and it sounds like it's not competitive to them based on their situation. The business will have to try someone else or change up their approach.
about 10 years ago I had a discussion with an interviewer (he was actually consultant manager) who said "c# and Java are exactly the same in terms of runtime architecture" which I very much disagreed with when speaking strictly, which wasn't appreciated.
I was just goofing but that sounds like a lot of places people live to be honest.
