Adding clarifications to that, Pebble is a local K/V library akin to RocksDB/LevelDB and provides no services or distributed capabilities. Comparing the two does not make sense.

On the other hand, TiKV is more comparable to the internal distributed transactional K/V layer to CockroachDB that its SQL layer is coupled to. That of course is not a usable external interface. You could utilize CockroachDB like a K/V store with simple table to forego the SQL functionality and planning (e.g. only primary col index, only key/value column, so on), but I am not sure what the practicality of that is as I have not kept up with CockroachDB development.

Wow!
After repeatedly unsuccessfully tying to get an overview over NN accelerators today, i just found this on the HN homepage.
Looks very promising and to me this seems to be a very logical approach, in terms of efficiency (besides analog computers).

I would also be very interested in some benchmarks comparing the generated hardware with things like Google Coral or Nvidia Jetson.

I am sure this will be a success.
So? It’s citizens’ responsibility to get rid of dictators. It’s also their shared responsibility for what their country is doing.
This is a fantastic explanation why I'm learning Rust. After 15 years of working in Python, I'm disgusted by the type hint trend in dynamic languages. Rust is less verbose about data types than the type hinting clown-show everyone is adopting. If I need 278 characters to suggest type hints in a comment the runtime doesn't half way utilize, I'm switching to Rust for everything.
During World War 2, did anyone think about those poor Germans thrown in jails for protesting the war?

I mean, sure, those aren’t the offenders. But because Russia is a terrorist state, targeting civilians instead of opponent’s military, any act against them - anything that hurts Russia - would be morally justified. It’s just a lesser evil.

What kind of library people don’t know and adhere to the five laws of library science? Especially, in this case, the third law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_laws_of_library_science#T...

These people are not librarians. They are censors.
I think it is generally polite when editing to add something to show you edited it. Especially when you significantly change details, or if the change is due to a comment, otherwise the thread looks like nonsense.
I don't think any single example makes a case that every terrorist is a terrorist or that every freedom fighter is a freedom fighter.

A single black and white case doesn't mean other cases don't involve nuance, or depend on your perspective.
You can always get the same components that this kit uses, solder them together and do it cheaper. Want a dimmer for your smart lights? esp8266 + one of many potentiometers available + maybe an adc if you need more than one. You'll never use this whole kit just for one potentiometer, with the rest of the components in a drawer somewhere, because this would make it too expensive. Cramming multiple modules just not to "waste" them, makes you build a tool around what you have, instead of using just what you really need.
Ah, the A of A&M.
And I still wonder why they did it. Maybe Ukraine is a trap in which Russia got caught, so that many people will die, Russia will get exhausted and then the West can interfere when the time and political climate is right. I am scared to think about this possibility. I would really like to hope that the plan of the West is that Ukraine will prevail and there isn't any plan B that includes the West directly confronting with Russia.
>> The song "Shout at the Devil" on the same-named album, and the Satanic imagery and whatnot, was almost certainly likewise just to piss of conservative Christian parents.

Pretty much:

This was written by Motley Crue's bass player Nikki Sixx. In the band's biography The Dirt, Tom Zutaut, who signed the band to Elektra Records, explains that Sixx was exploring Satanism at the time, and wanted to call the song (and the album) "Shout With The Devil." Zutaut was having a hard enough time getting the label to promote the band, and he knew the title would make it an even harder sell, but Sixx was determined to go with the devil theme, telling Zutaut: "It just looks cool. It's meaningless symbols and s--t. I'm just doing it to piss people off. It's not like I worship Satan or something."

When Zutaut saw Sixx two nights later, he witnessed a knife and fork rise off the table and stick into the ceiling. Zutaut writes: "I looked at Nikki and freaked out. 'There is no more 'Shout With The Devil.' If you keep shouting with the devil, you're going to get killed.' I truly believe that Nikki had unknowingly tapped into something evil, something more dangerous than he could control that was on the verge of seriously hurting him. Nikki must have realized the same thing, because he decided on his own to change the album title to Shout At The Devil."

There's also an old TV interview that predates their autobiography where they ask Nikki outright if he was a devil worshiper or satanic and he just laughs and tells them "Pssssshhh no! The album is called "Shout AT the Devil" not "Shout WITH the Devil!""
Here's another good article on the phenomenon. I think the underlying theme is more about the fact that 'worlds of the imagination' is a tricky subject for religious evangelists of any stripe.

> Adele had a huge album launch last year, and sold very well on vinyl and CD. That one album may account for the entire growth.

That doesn't hold up under any scrutiny. Adele's album sold around ~950,000 physical copies in 2021 in the US. The average CD price is $15, and that particular album has been on sale since the release, so the absolute maximum that it could contribute to an "unusual" influx of CD sales is $15 million -- and that's very generously pretending 100% of sales were CDs and that she didn't sell any copies of any albums in 2020. That leaves a minimum of an $85 million (and more realistically >$93 million) increase that can't be attributed to a shift in audience demographics for the year's top seller.

> Between that big launch and vinyl pressing plant supply issues (Covid supply chain issues and huge orders for two album releases) people who want the physical object may have moved from vinyl to CD editions.

Vinyl sales doubled in 2021 and outpaced CDs, and growth actually increased throughout 2021, as roughly ~60% of the sales took place in the second half of the year.

There aren't enough smart/knowledgeable players in the crypto space (by trade volume).

I think this fund is making the mistake of confusing crypto with a classical market. In the fiat space, smart money discovers issues and starts to move it's massive dominating weight. In crypto its mostly monkeys at keyboards.

I feel that even if tether was 100% proven a scam consisting entirely of funny money, the monkeys would just shrug and be all "Well, it still does what I want it to". Whereas smart players would see the risk and avoid it.

Markets are only as rational as their actors.

I'm not sure, but I think your comment is meant to be be sardonic.

I get that angle, but IMO there are some things that legitimately fall into that category, to a degree. Things that benefit others, or "society in general", but not me in particular.

For instance, I get no direct benefit from paying for public education (I'm done with school myself, no children), but I like to live in a society that is generally educated. So, I happily pay my taxes.

I suppose this might somehwat go against your "nor do I intend to contribute to its upkeep" provision, but I don't particularly track down and intentionally discover just every which way my tax dollars are spent, yet still I think its a good idea to pay that money, for the various things it provides for various people, even if it's not me directly.

Or to bring it back to the discussion at hand: It seems reasonable to wish (though not expect, per se) that a library has certain books available to the community, even if I don't personally read them. It's the fact that nobody is checking them out that makes them a waste of space in this particular instance.

Just my 2¢.
This law of library science seems like it conflicts with the laws of physical reality.

Has nothing to do with the propulsion system being electric. Has everything to do with auto manufacturers wanting too much control.

> Freelancers juggle b/w various clients and frankly cannot produce the same level of output/commitment/results/care that committed employees can.

My own experience has shown that to be untrue. I've known plenty of contractor folks who 'care' (however you might measure that) and deliver as much as or more than many employees.
Nobody's complaining about changing lanes. You clearly implied above that you have to weave over to the far right, pass cars on the right, then weave back to the left to pass more cars on the left. That behavior is unacceptable. It might only be a 1/5000 chance of causing an accident, but when hundreds of idiots do it every day, you end up with tens of thousands of car crashes in the Bay Area every year and so many deaths they aren't even newsworthy.

I don't like having to duke it out with dangerous idiots like yourself every day on the road, so I rent an apartment a mile from my office.
>This is a rather intuitive mathematical proof that neural nets can emulate all functions in many dimensions.

Yes, but the problem is we don't know what function we want to approximate. So it is like interpolation you give it some points and you get an approximation that is good enough around those points but probably very wrong if you are far away of the points.

We don't even know how many layers and neurons are needed so it seems to be a brute force approach, throw more data and more hardware and when stuff goes wrong maybe throw more data. But one day a Tesla might go on a different environment and maybe people have different hats and goes to shit because those hats were not in the training data, we don't have like in other sciences bounded errors.
I never measured anything, but i'm running a recursive resolver on my laptop since a couple years (knot resolver) and never had any performance problem.

Nope, it's still around.

I remember hearing "While the devil wants to f** me in the back of his car" and thinking, "wow, I'm sure as a 12 year old, I'm supposed to find this thrilling... such aggression , such anger... this guy seems really mad at things he doesn't even believe in." I just wasn't interested in it. Not saying Trent isn't a genius. Or that I don't appreciate all the cool experimentation he was doing back then (sending instruments and vocals through an ARP 2600!!). That lyric just felt like a cop-out to me.

Church camp did get me listening to Metallica though! Fade To Black was such an amazing song... and no amount of "this song was written by the devil to make kids kill themselves" could ever change that.
Many of the comments on the (terrible) article are truly depressing. I'd like to think people are smarter than this, but once again I'm proven wrong.

People now assume that 'maximizing shareholder value' is the natural and only law of corporations, that to act otherwise is unnatural perversion, and should be suppressed. But it is just a philosophy, mostly in the US and UK, developed in the 1970s primarily by Milton Friedman in this famous essay,

https://www.nytimes.com/1970/09/13/archives/a-friedman-doctr...

and by Michael Jensen and William Meckling in their paper, "Theory of the Firm".

These days it is widely rejected afaik. First, anything taken to an extreme is absurd on its face; of course shareholder value is important, but it's not the only priority. Second, it's not hard to see how conveniently self-serving the idea is to powerful, wealthy, sometimes egocentric individuals who own a lot of shares - 'yes, the purpose of the world is to maximise my value! Milton Friedman said so!' Third, there are many other models that work very well, such as the German one.
I work with operations research teams in a blended model of engineering being embedded with the OR Scientists. I really prefer it. Code can get to prod a lot quicker and we don’t have the “throw it over the fence to engineering” issues that can arise.

Work on solving problems using declarative languages and functional languages.

So, either Prolog, or Lisp.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is a good jumping off point for Lisp while also providing fundamental insights.

Prolog.. honestly, just google "basic" array problems and try and do them in prolog. It takes a mental shift, which is hard at first, and you feel silly not being able to count to 10. But learning how to think in this paradigm is useful - e.g. SQL is declarative.

I'm imagining that the creator of this project really went the distance in sticking to their initial vision of what was possible. I think sometimes visionary projects fail because the creators eventually compromise on the vision when the devils emerge from the details. But, if they can muster enough technical competence and determination to push through that difficulty, we get something like pockit. The video really makes me want to hear from the creator about the process of developing pockit and how different challenges were overcome.
A couple of problems with your argument

1) assumption that search engines should be neutral

2) assumption that downranking info that almost all fact checkers agree is false is a slippery slope will lead to downranking info that consensus reality says is true

3) assuming you know anything about Duck Duck Go's customer base or Weinberg's intent

> I believe that only applies to the hospitality business, doesn't it?

Nope - while 42 U.S.C. §2000a was "public accommodations", it isn't the only law in this area.

> Furthermore, "those people" very much excludes nationality otherwise the sanctions against Iran would have been unconstitutional.

Nope on three levels.

The first one is that the groups protected by 42 USC (and the other laws) are "race, color, religion, or national origin and it's tough to see how that doesn't cover nationality.

The second one is that the laws for the first part aren't part of the constitution.

The third one is the regulation/law in question did NOT say anything about race. It said you can't do business with Iranian-country entities and had the "notwithstanding" boilerplate, creating an exemption to the other laws, an exemption limited to Iranian-country entities. That exemption did NOT cover Iranians without the country connection.
Yes, totally! I retired a few months ago because I'm sick of the 9-5, 48+ weeks/year endless grind and (almost) "always on" mentality (and well able to provide for my household w/o W2 income). Casual Google jobs search "surfing" post-retirement reveals no significant number of part-time SW engineering job openings, which I assume reflects the drive to "amortize per employee overhead over the maximum amount of per employee working hours" that I assume drives this "all employees are full-time" mentality.
The term is "inclusivity" -- supporting minority interests against the tyranny of the majority.
My company pays a lot of figures for xignite and we cannot make this data publicly available without some restrictions (it would cost a lot more to do so).

My purely non-legal take is we can distribute price and metadata for instruments relative to a user's portfolio or a defined demo set of data or charts to yours, etc, but not freely distribute price data without an attribution behind it. I _suppose_ a user could add literally all 300k instruments we support to get the price data and that would violate our agreements (similar stuff has happened before, just watch it), but we'd just have to deal with the user via our TOS.

Good luck, unfortunately the next level of APIs for financial data and licensing fees can be annoying, from almost free to like 6 figures overnight. Some exchanges are much worse than others, like arbitrary pricing based on how large your company is…

> Mazes and Monsters is quite the trip down memory lane.

Ironic that when I was heavy into D&D and drawing the monsters I was seeing in the handbooks, guides and Dragon magazines, my parents didn't care at all - it was just me and my cousins and friends being sociable and using our imaginations.

Then we heard about Mazes and Monsters and we all huddled up to watch it and it wasn't at all what we thought it would be. My parents were like, "No more Dungeons and Dragons for you young man!" Thinking I would go crazy like Tom Hanks character did. After some intervening from other friends parents who got them to relax and just let us enjoy the time using our imaginations, they relented.

It was a pretty traumatic time to have to hand over my Dungeon Master Guide to my parents, feeling like my whole life was over at 10. Only to have them give it back to me and seeing me jump around like I just won the lottery must have been pretty funny to them.

To be young again. . .
Very curious, what’s an alternative implementation strategy or more appropriate mental model?

My mental model (I am not a database engineer) is that every SQL database is fundamentally backed by a key value store. For Postgres, each value is a row of a relation, the key is the relation’s key, and the physical storage is the table file. Postgres builds b-trees on top to make it fast, but the b-tree itself is a relation, a key value store that Postgres works hard to keep sorted.
