Firestore does provide global consistency, so the following quote is incorrect:

> In Cloud Firestore, the data on the client are loaded from the database at different points in time. Even if you listen for realtime updates, results from separate queries will not remain in sync. This creates consistency anomalies and bugs in your app.

Here is a link to the protocol documentation that the clients use to support it: https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis/blob/d0b394f188e8c3...

I'd link to the client implementation but it's quite involved.

I have to toggle it on and off. I find that if I'm thinking about what to write it is absurdly distracting to see a suggestion, which is usually wrong, because the suggestion steals my focus.

Honestly, tab nine is the reason why I didn’t use Copilot for months after I was given initial access — it was just so atrociously bad at what it claimed to help that I was expecting the same from Copilot and thought the concept itself was a broken one. Then out of the blue a coworker mentions he got access to Copilot and loved it, so I gave it a try. Turns out, Copilot just makes things so much easier. I love it. I’m not sure if I’ll pay the subscription right away, but I’m certain I’ll notice the constant annoyance of it missing.

There are some things in your comment that are wrong, or don't quite follow.

> Copilot’s architecture is monolithic: “one model to rule them all.” It is also completely centralized - only Microsoft can train the model

It's true that only Microsoft can train the model—for now. But GPT-3 is a monolithic model, and OpenAI allows fine-tuning. There's nothing about the architecture that prohibits Microsoft from offering customers the ability to fine-tune the model.

> Copilot does not suggest code in the middle of the line, as its AI model is not best suited for this purpose.

Here's a screenshot of GitHub Copilot suggesting code in the middle of a line:

https://imgur.com/gallery/Jp2qg7X

> Copilot uses one universal AI model, which means that every user is getting the same generic assistance based on an “average of GitHub”, regardless of the project they're working on.

If the model is big enough that seems to be an advantage, not a disadvantage. At least, when I use GPT-3 to create a 4chan greentext, or an X-Files script, or a presidential speech, or an article by Hunter S. Thompson (or a presidential speech by Hunter S. Thompson) it doesn't particularly feel like it's averaging things out.

It really isn't that archaic. It might not be the best resource for Biblical scholarship, but it's quite readable today. The KJV is so dominant in English culture that English's course of evolution is probably guided by it.

The KJV has probably been more influential on English than Shakespeare on English or Cervantes or Dante on their respective languages. Consider that, until recently (1950s?), the KJV has been read daily by a large portion of English speakers.

(I'm Catholic and native Spanish speaking, I don't have any cultural attachment to KJV)

Without a doubt, you are both extremely arrogant and ignorant in your US exceptionalism. What you think makes the US system unique (anyone can get elected) is actually standard in democracies. In fact, it's arguably easier for people without significant financial backing to be elected in most Western countries than in the US. And that's not even mentioning countries with far more direct democracy than the US, like Switzerland (the actual contender for the 'most democratic nation on earth' title).

>You assert this, then you proceed to describe the events of more than 75 years ago. Where exactly, in the countries you're allowed to hold pride parades today, are the nazis who want you in camps and prisons ?

Gay bashings, murders, and targeted arrests are more recent examples. Then there’s the millions who died of AIDS while authorities twiddled their thumbs. And to top it off, throw in the social ostracism, the chance of being outed at work (fired), and a sky high suicide rate for a clearer picture.

So, no. The community has not faced any literal Nazis in the past 75 years. But, they have faced just about everything short of that.

This is not far off history. This has all occurred in my lifetime. Some of it still goes on today. Pulse Nightclub was just five years ago.

Bash is a chameleon.

When called as /bin/sh or if the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is set, it will act as a POSIX shell.

If not, it will behave very differently. The one major difference that I know is that aliases will be ignored in the execution of a script, so "alias p=printf" will fail (for example). This is not POSIX-compliant.
Being a surgeon isn’t equivalent to wise with money. Many Ponzi schemes have preyed on high income individuals and doctors of all sorts seem to be popular targets.
That’s desync, not latency/lag. They’re different things, and this solution will actually make the lag worse as it deepens the buffer. OBS virtual cameras definitely have noticeable lag with most people I have seen using them on Teams/Zoom.

This is not an insignificant advantage, to be fair. However, I agree that using electrolytic hydrogen as a Fischer-Tropsch or Sabatier feedstock is the way to go.
Isn't it still the case that nearly all med schools in the US are capacity constrained anyway? There's no sense in pandering for extra students you can't take on anyway, especially if it harms your program's reputation. More likely, they realized some aspects of med school nearly amounted to hazing, with little demonstrated educational benefit. (Again getting back to American culture's tendency to conflate difficult with beneficial.)

For me, the fact that the Linux project has decided that Rust will be included in the kernel was the point Rust has become a success. It's pretty clear at this point that Rust will be around for decades and start to replace the well established C space.
> Things like the Golden Rule, for example, can be deduced logically to generally be in all of our interests.

By that do you mean you present a theory about why people behave the way they do (whether or not they know it)? Or do you mean you can logically deduce the way people should behave?

> As I said in my original comment, ethics can be reconstructed without superstition.

Again, by that do you mean a description of what is observed or a normative proscription for behavior? Because I don’t see how the latter is possible without assuming meaning or purpose, which you would seemingly describe as “superstition”.
If you're okay with load balancing DNS queries across multiple providers you could do 2x Cloudflare primary NS, 2x GCP for example where each provider is in sync with each other.

If not, a manual swap at the registrar level would be good enough.

I should also mention this approach sort of breaks with Cloudflare's proxied records which dynamically assign anycast IPs for records placed on their CDN. So if using this approach the failover NS provider would probably need to also use a different CDN, preferably one that just gives you a CNAME.

1) find the people who have the problem you’re solving / creating value for

2) have them use / experience the product and watch them

3) have them think out loud while their doing that and keenly observe how they use experience the product

4) the observations should point to low hanging fruit for improvement

5) ask open ended unbiased questions about the experience and listen to them talk about it. Example: what did you think?

6) you don’t necessarily need to use a big sample size to get good feedback. Getting feedback from 10 people, you will see six that show the same pattern and you will then know to focus on that

7) hypothesize on improvements from what you learn, build, release again a and repeat feedback with real users

8) you will know you have something great when people show they are impressed. Be careful if people just saying it’s great as everyone will do this, so you will only really know if it’s great through observing.

9) if you can’t do this and are a solo founder, you probably will have a very difficult time with sales once you find product market fit since you always have to be in front of people and pitching

This doesn’t necessarily indicate anything other than that they believed the business could make money.

One example of Copilot saving time - the other day I was trying to remember how to access a value from a map in Go. This doesn't take much time - alt tab to browser, ctrl + t for a new tab, type in "golang get value from map", click on a stackoverflow result, scroll down, glance at the result, alt tab back to IDE, and do it. With Copilot, Copilot knew what I was trying to do and suggested the right code to me and I accepted the suggestion by pressing tab.

But! I think the savings are even bigger because there is no context switch. If I have my browser open I might find myself going to hackernews, checking my email, looking at my stackoverflow notifications, browsing twitter - whatever. Copilot is not only faster, it keeps my focus on the code without giving me a chance to get distracted. In some sense, for this example, Copilot saved me 5-10 seconds by not needing to Google something. In another sense, it might have saved me an hour because I didn't decide to just check something on twitter while I had my browser open.
This is the key that is overlooked a lot. Taking /biz as an example, the sentiment is rife that crypto is their one and only shot to make it out of the hole. Couple that with the "how much do you make" threads that show a lot of them earn somewhere in the $15-$30 per hour range and you can see why these moonshots are (in their view) their only hope.

If the most they can scrape together is $5k of capital, then it needs to 10x to provide them with a meaningful change.
Ask HN: Is Facebook Done?
They have lot of products with even more potential: marketplace, groups, dating(?), news, pages, messenger.

But it feels like fb is abandoning all of it and going full force to metaverse. It feels like fb wants to be either the biggest or nothing.

But I've serious doubts about metaverse, my eyes get so exhausted from general texting, I can't even dream of putting it on for hours at end. At most I can see myself using VR as another monitor or a controller. Something I use for certain entertainment purposes. Even if it was 5x better in tech - resolution, latency, size, etc. I just don't see myself wearing anything, i can't stand contacts so i wear glasses and i hate glasses too so I take them off when I don't need them.

Then there is chicken-egg problem: no content cuz no users cuz no content... either fb gives millions of ppl very advanced devices for almost free OR spend more than what netflix have on creating content.

Also isn't like 95% of the engineers at facebook all mainly web developers or related. And metaverse is basically game development.. something facebook has no experience in. If someone could make a good game it'd be EPIC (the fortnite creators). Maybe they should acquire or partner up with epic to have some hope.

So back to question: since fb seems to be abandoning everything and metaverse is likely to go no where, is fb done for?

You're overthinking it.

It's because most people are mathematically illiterate and most people don't know that there's even a difference between median and average or a reason to use one over the other.

Computationally, computing the average vs the median is virtually instant for 99+% of data sets on modern hardware. I can't imagine what a data set would have to look like for it to take an extra 10 minutes to figure out the median.

I think the point was merely that JavaScript is obviously not the "universal scripting language" and claiming it is demonstrates not just hubris but ignorance.

That said, I have tons of little one-off utilities I launch with "go run random-thing.go" because I don't care about the second or two it takes to compile, and if C were my everyday language I'm sure I'd have a compile-and-run wrapper handy. At that point, it's effectively a scripting language, right?
