I’m not sure where the other commenter gets their confidence, but Pinecone is not wrapping any open source vector-search library. We offer three index types (in-memory, in-memory graph-based, hybrid memory + disk), and all are proprietary.

We do have articles about Faiss and HNSW and all sorts of other vector-search and NLP topics, so it’s possible that’s where the confusion comes from.
My intuition would be that it is overall cheaper in the long run to produce green hydrogen and build new or adapt existing plants so that they can consume hydrogen. Just a few percentage points in efficiency of the fuel generation would entirely negate any capital cost savings of reusing the old plants.
Oh shit it's that guy! I remember reading this story at the time.
I have complicated feelings about TDD
CSG and CAD are just really hard to get right from scratch technically, with lots of math and edge cases and a massive number of features and optimizations you need to implement to hit minimum viability. Add to that the UI on top of the underlying geometry engine is inherently complicated and is a considerable software engineering problem in its own right. Plus the big players have so much momentum and offer free/nearly free (in terms of cost) options that are really slick and powerful e.g. Fusion360 or OnShape. Blender and KiCAD are examples of similar semi-niche professional tools that have been successful against similar barriers, but I still am not optimistic. Solvespace is cool though and that's the one I'm praying for, personally.
Probably also a distinction to make but T-Mobile USA's international roaming isn't meant for long-term usage and they'll terminate the account if more than half a year or so is outside the US.

I always thought of the cost implication for T-Mobile before this thread, not that they are probably more concerned with legal exposure of people changing residency and trying to remain as customers.
One of Segway's problems is that it is an intruder on the sidewalk. You can picture Segway riders yelling "Coming through!" expecting pedestrians to part way for them. Like hell I'll step aside for your overpriced toy.

And of course you can't ride it on the street. It has nowhere to go but warehouses and hangars.
Depends on the car and the person. I have back problems and almost no office chairs are usable for me. I can easily drive 10 hours in my car with no issues. Sometimes, my back feels better after a drive that long.
The CAD geometry kernel is the problem. It needs to handle a ton of different features and gets very complex very quickly. FreeCAD uses OpenCASCADE which is also used by quite a few other programs. This kernel dates back to the 90s and is supported by a company.

I would say that there is a massive leap to go from "an app will occasionally tell you someone in your general area ordered from X" to "stalkers download this so they can stalk someone".

"Neighbors" is a loose term. It doesn't literally mean only the people you live immediately next to. Aside from the fact that the person receiving the notification has no information about the radius this notification was triggered by, there would also not be identifying information in the notification. You're not being told "That person across the hall, John Smith, bought a large pizza from ABC pizza ten minutes ago and is on his way to pick it up now".

A stalker would get no actionable information from "Someone in your area ordered sushi from XYZ".

There is also no indication that this would be available in any sort of publicly scrapable API, I really don't know where you pulled that from. Push notifications, by definition, are not queried for.

It's not really a consensus mechanism either really - the randomness in some sense is deterministic, it just requires participation. I'm unsure which 'classic ways' you're referring to - in principle it's not that different to having a notary, except the notary is a distributed network rather than a single entity.

I may not be understanding the concern correctly so forgive me if not.

Lua code pretty much always ends up tightly coupled to the embedding environment and the API exposed by it. Running a bare lua script against an unmodified interpreter supplied by the OS is just not the normal use case, though certainly possible.

So it's as portable as all lua code, which is up to you but there's rarely a reason to prioritize that too highly. For example the two kinds of lua I've done professionally are web servers and industrial automation. What does it even mean for code to be "portable" between those two? A web server doesn't have a motor and so doesn't expose functions to control one. A conveyor belt doesn't handle http requests so has no functions to send one.

You can definitely come up with library code-type functionality that you'd want in both, and if you write it carefully not to depend on anything outside of the core lua implementation it will run on both. Nothing special about redbean here among the many many other niche uses of lua.
It's used here in the most current meaning. Not "to speak for," or "nice stuff," but for "limited, hurry and get it."

Two and three are melding a bit, but the word has been twisted and abused, and for some reason liked enough by influencers now that it's come around again. Sort of like Toto's Africa.

CO2 needs to be scrubbed/vented out of the breathable atmosphere. Even if there is abundant of oxygen anyway, too much CO2 will make people feel dizzy and confused, cause splitting headaches, increased heart rated, reduced senses, and eventually death. CO2 can't take the place of inert nitrogen in a breathable atmosphere, that much CO2 in the air just isn't compatible with human life.
> Use all the excess solar/wind to create fuel for the natural gas plants

If we can continue producing them in a renewable or at least sustainable way, why not?

If the only way to keep that up is burning oil, then no.

Please also note that some of the most intense producers of CO2 are poor(er) countries which burn coal because it's cheap. Even natural gas can be too expensive for them, let alone solar or wind installations.

I wonder when the West would consider buying and converting such plants. It's likely feasible in Africa, hardly so in China.

> you probably didn't have a close up view of them and how they operated before and after.

I have witnessed "before" enough, so I distanced myself from them pretty sharply, and I didn't bother to check "after" that close. It's my fault, I accept it, but from this distance the end result doesn't show any meaningful differences. So, it's something to ponder if you ask me.

> Desktop Linux isn't likely to be something MSFT spends any amount of time concerning themselves with as competition.

It's may not be competition, but is a big hurdle against locking down PC ecosystem and converting them to appliances. If they can run all Linux apps under Windows, they can revoke all 3rd party signing keys, make Secure Boot mandatory and tell judges "See, it all works under Windows. We're no monopoly. We already ship the environment free with new PCs, anyway."

This stance against Microsoft is one of the rare firmly held strong opinions of mine. I certainly would prefer not hold this so firmly, but they made it impossible over the years.
I don't keep them around since I mainly use them more for inspiration. But the non-fermented dipper I mentioned was based on the one here: https://plantedandpicked.com/habanero-plum-hot-sauce. I've described the replacement ingredients I made in other comments, so I won't list them here. Just wing it. That's what I do beyond using recipes as a safe-guard for portioning.

I will point out though that I used 1/2 the amount of habanero, and then I replace (plus a bit more) the other half with other peppers to give it a fuller flavour, and more about a pleasant lingering warmth than scorching-face heat. I really enjoy the different types of heat different peppers can impart, and I really pay attention to the flavour itself to make sauces that taste like they fit some sort of "theme" or locale. (That is to say, I probably wouldn't mix Scotch Bonnet with Pequin, because I don't think they would work all that well together, but there are combinations that are simply incredible.)

Pretty much the only thing I really stick to verbatim is the spices and some of the herbs. And I use the recipe volumes (tsps or cups or whatever) to gauge what I need to do to ensure the finished sauce will be recognizable and balanced appropriately even if the ingredients I used are not the same, but merely "similar."

As long as you know your flavours, and you don't over-use any given ingredient, it is really hard to go wrong.

EVs with Google's software native like the Polestar have that functionality. Google Maps can do it, its more of a limitation of the current Android Auto implementation.

The conversion might not be as efficient but all cars having a 350km battery for the rare occasion when they leave the city 2-3 times a month seems like a bigger waste. They would normally use the 50km battery and the lesser efficiency would kick in only during long distance trips. Modern range extenders can be pretty lightweight... It could even be modular/take-out in your frunk.

You don't make a complete copy: you make a shallow copy of the spine, and then only descend along the fields you actually modify. The number of operations scales as O(branching factor * depth), not O(size).
> Just keep building more and more solar/wind, as much as the land can handle (imagine most of the desert in California converted to solar).

Actually there are many reasons.

You pay taxes in USD, USD is legal tender for debts, you are incentivized to borrow in USD and finally because the dollar is widely accepted even beyond the borders of the US.

Money is really only meant to be a relationship between people which tracks how much they owe each other, the value isn't derived from money itself but from the network effects of many humans engaging in economic activity.

5% inflation obviously ruins the store of value aspect but it hasn't stopped anyone from sending or accepting inflating money. The idea that a merchant would refuse USD because it lost 95% of its value compared to eighty years ago or whatever is unheard of and doesn't seem to bother merchants as long as they can re-adjust prices quickly enough.

The last one is the most important. If everyone in El Salvador accepts Bitcoin then Bitcoin will act as money just like any other currency.
Money deflates so the wealthy need to pursue valuable investments to preserve and grow it. Value is generally produced by doing things that people will pay for. It is this value-seeking behavior by the masses that gives everyone some implicit input on the long horizon. And water is certainly a long horizon thing.
> the private part indicates the privacy it provides not the destination.

I wouldn't entirely agree with that (although out of context I do agree).

It's a Virtual Private Network connection, you create a Virtual (not physical) Private Network (between your device and another device/server) there's no real difference between a site-to-site VPN and a client-access VPN other than if the devices at each end route more than just the partner traffic over the private network.

If I connect a "site-to-site VPN" between my computer and your computer, if I add a route to send all traffic for a particular network to your computer as the next hop, that makes it "client-access" for that particular network, if I add a default route it then sends any internet request I make to your device as the next hop.

If your device decides to forward the packets (and probably NAT them) then I now have some privacy for my internet traffic.

VPNs were originally designed to replace dial-up modem connections since the internet was becoming more ubiquitous and it would be far cheaper for someone to connect to their local ISP then use a VPN to connect to their remote network (either personally or usually between sites), than dial directly to their other site (also it was usually far cheaper for one internet connection than a bank of modems and ISDN lines (if you wanted 56.6Kbps or 64Kbps connections)
How does more housing ruin a town?
You could hook up Prisma (or any other Orm) to Supabase and use their transaction API. Though this will still need to be in server part of NextJS (api routes or getServerSideProps), but would be faster than rolling an entire backend.
For sure. I appreciate when someone admits they don't know something, because that is honest. But OTOH, there was a fair amount of "I don't know why this does what it does" in this blog post. I'd like to see this same topic worked up by someone with more knowledge.
Yes there is something about it that is actually fun... there's a productivity sweet spot, it makes sense and you know it's probably going to work first time (at least compared to many other languages) - so you spend more time expressing ideas and solving problems.
I am intrigued by the idea but find the details hidden in the Faraday reactor and separation nanotube membrane to be hard to sanity check / the most important factor that is not well understood. (or at least, I don't understand it / have not read enough)

What's the magical material in the Faraday reactor that can somehow combine CO2 + water to form hexanol? I've never heard of such a process occurring (again, probably my ignorance). And then similar question for the separation filter?

If I had to guess an analogy, it strikes me as similar to mining and then recovering + refining miniscule fractions of uranium isotopes at a similar energy cost. And when you require that much energy/cost to get some small amount of material, it had better be very valuable, and not something you just burn at $3/gallon.

But I am glad to be educated on how this is breaking that analogy.

Ubiquitous is doing a lot of work there. In the Northeast US, I've probably seen an increase in bikes given some dedicated bike lanes but I rarely see anything else.

CICO has limited use. Boiling everything down to a single physics based metric doesn't give us all the information we need.

Knowing what mechanisms and processees go into losing weight can make the journey much more intellectually stimulating, satsifying for the participant and smooth out incredibly rough bumps in the road to losing weight. CICO can't fill this need for tailoring weight loss to smooth out the efficiency losses you get with brutal cuts into one's life and psyche.

Pumping out a single metric and hammering flat all the differences in personal process with psychology and ritual screams of unnecessary suffering. It's probably wrong to use oneself like that.

Very few people live according to the physics based description of what their life should be... However one would derive that idea without hiding or ignoring personal presuppositions?

If I understand correctly, something like this:

Let's say you have hosts A and B.

Doing this from A:

ssh -R 1080 B

will start a SOCKS5 proxy on A, to which you can connect on B through port 1080 that's being forwarded there. So your web client running on B will use traffic proxied through A while connecting to 1080 on localhost.

> Does it try to autodetect whether you're speaking SOCKS to it

I think it just uses SOCKS5 out of the box if you don't specify the host for -R. According to the man page for -R:

if no explicit destination was specified, ssh will act
as a SOCKS 4/5 proxy and forward connections to the
destinations requested by the remote SOCKS client.

My best advice is to find people who do what you want to do and try to learn as much as possible from them. If you're interested in doing ML/DL research I think the best way to get into the field is to reach out to professors. I studied ML/DL (books, projects, classes, reimplementing papers) for several years in undergrad, but discussing and debating ideas is the one thing that took my understanding to a much deeper level. A good professor will also point out gaps in your knowledge that you might be missing.

A second bit of advice: Programming (and execution) skills are IMO heavily undervalued by people looking to get into ML. The faster you can write code, debug, and implement new things, the easier it is to produce good research.

Some books I liked: PR & ML (Bishop), Deep Learning Book (Goodfellow), AI: A Modern Approach (Norving), Elements of Statistical Learning (Friedman)

Perhaps its just because its early innings but a lot of the early examples of AI generated art seem to be in that uncanny valley stage. A bit dystopian - like from an unpleasant dream.

I'm curious whether thats just the text descriptions people are putting into the generators to get clicks or inherent in the AI art generation techniques used.

I'll also throw out that for most of the history of art - "art" has always been cheap to produce. My pre-schooler created "art". Its really only the outliers that we remember. And really the ones who make it do it through verbal communication of their ideas or have some mechanism for conveying a consistent, overarching theme/narrative. [1]

A professional AI "artist" might need to figure out how to become more of a visual creator/curator - ushering the generated images into coherent story that can be shared via discussions at gallery showings, etc.

Perhaps real professional visual artists need to find the equivalent of a live show that has kept music viable as a career or a live book reading that makes an author relatable.
