> But if a wealthy, hard-working, and fit husband asked his wife to do 100% of the housework, that's probably not going to dampen sexual desire in the slightest.

The wealthy, hard-working and fit wife may be not that happy to do 100% of the housework while the wealthy, hard-working and fit husband sits in front of the TV.
but which delimiter.

if you choose pipe ok, now you have to make sure nobody typed a pipe into the input field or spreadsheet, and you cannot store unix commands

if you choose tab, ok, now people will get confused when they try to edit the text file to replace tabs with spaces, and now you have trouble putting code snippets into data fields because they have tabs.

this is the problem and it's why xml/json exist.

in my particular domain, tab separated works pretty well but in a general context of the world at large, i feel like JSON has reasons it exists.
Netlimiter just did something similar, but you can keep version 4 with the original license.

That software was essentially done, I have no idea why they "waste" money on it. They could keep it as is and just sell licenses with no support
I’d go with this approach for my next startup, unless I had specific performance requirements. (Having built a company to Series B on the standard Django/Celery/Redis stack).

Very hard to overstate the benefit of having all data in one DB that your developers can trivially run, mutate, and step-debug in your application.

To the extent that rules don't get equally applied by social media platforms, they're generally biased in favor of the right.

However, the right, due to its inherent animus for large sections of society, breaks the rules so much more often and so much more egregiously (eg Babylon Bee) that actual enforcement decisions are applied against the right more often.
There's a way to anthropomorphize large language models that I think is less misleading: they are like a well-read actor that always "wants" to play "let's pretend." LLM's are trained on "fill in the blank" which means they follow the "yes, and" rule of improv. They are very willing to follow your lead and to assume whatever role is necessary to play their part.

If you give them hints about what role you want by asking leading questions, they will try to play along and pretend to hold whatever opinions you might want from them.

What are useful applications for this sort of actor? It makes sense that language translation works well because it's pretending to be you, if you could speak a different language. Asking them to pretend to be a Wikipedia article without giving them the text to imitate is going to be hit and miss since they're just as willing to pretend to be a fake Wikipedia article, as they don't know the difference.

Testing an LLM to find out what it believes is unlikely to do anything useful. It's going to pretend to believe whatever is consistent with the role it's currently playing, and that role may be chosen randomly if you don't give it any hints.

It can be helpful to use prompt engineering to try to nail down a particular role, but like in improv, that role is going to drift depending on what happens. You shouldn't forget that whatever the prompt, it's still playing "let's pretend."
How painful is the cost?
> In those particular cases I think every title is a warning sign for pathologcal narcissism.

That's one potential explanation.

But another explanation is along the lines of SEO keyword stuffing.

We all are aware that jobs tend to use dumb keyword filters to whittle down the numbers of applicants.

This is why everybody lists every dumb technology and job title on their resume just to bypass these filters.

> The most common problems are when processing CSVs produced elsewhere [...]

The limitations of CSV are certainly worth considering and, in the instances you mentioned, it may be not be worth using CSV. (If you are going to be using a more complex parser anyway, you may as well using a format that is better defined and where you are less likely to encounter edge cases.) That being said, there remain many cases where CSV is far more efficient and far less error prone.
Sometimes CSV is nicer. Still you can cut down on your JSON by formatting it as a similar header style:

[
["productId", "quantity", "customerId"],
["5710031efdfe", 1, "8fe96b88"],
["479cd9744e5c", 2, "526ba6f5"]
]

This style also works well with jsonlines a sibling comment mentioned. Of course my favorite is MessagePack (or CBOR) using similar styles. MsgPack can be as small as gzipped JSON. :)

This is my wife's main beef with the owl.

She's never going to be truly fluent, her only objective is to learn enough to function in a place where that's the spoken language. You can get a lot of the grammar wrong and still be understood and that's all that matters to her. She's actually ended up learning *English* grammar from it--English is not her native language and she's missed plenty of things where she understood it but failed to put it in proper English.

If anything, botched grammar can be an advantage--it lets the person they are speaking with know their ability with the language is poor and thus encourages them to keep answers as simple as possible. (This only helps if the person has some experience in trying to communicate through a language barrier, though.)
Immediately after cleaning? Sure, but I feel better when the house is clean, which puts me in a more receptive mood for sex. A messy house, even just floors that need mopping, is like having little bits sand in your socks. It's nothing that's going to kill, but it goes grind away at one's mood.

I agree that is the way it is often, but that is to the argument to the poster before: not SCRUM anymore.
So long as you never have multi-page forms and don't worry about error handling on bad submissions and the back button, you're golden!

In practice this is always enforced by a punishment, making it functionally indistinguishable from the first case.

Again, the only difference is semantics.

Then the semantics are doing their intended job: same official use of coercive force, now with better marketing.

> Such systems tend to be barbaric often extracting admissions of guilt via torture.

Let's not muddy the waters.

We all agree torture is bad (both when it's done in the USA and elsewhere), but your issue was with the appropriateness of the word "forced" to describe coercive plea deals.
You can't really take any of these studies at face value.
Way too many variables involved, the only thing we can tell is the bias of the researchers.

> With messaging, saving old messages is more or less the default. When that happens the value of forward secrecy is negated.

It's not negated because a passive attacker that records communications and then, in the (potentially far) future, somehow can obtain the key (say, by exploiting some weakness and/or brute-forcing), still cannot decrypt your past communications, regardless of whether everybody saves old messages or not.

By passive attacker, I mean someone like the NSA, your ISP, your messaging provider, the server/P2P host that relays your messages, etc.

> If you want your old messages to be gone, you (and your correspondent) actually have to get rid of them.

But that's not what forward secrecy is designed to do, is it? It's designed to prevent third parties who can record the encrypted end-to-end communication from decrypting past messages when/if they can obtain your key.

It's not designed for making old messages be gone.

> Terminology quibble. I think this would be normally described as recording the encrypted messages off the wire. MITM implies than an attacker is impersonating one or more correspondents.

Yes, sorry, I meant a "passive man-in-the-middle attacker".
The problem of hallucination in LLMs is a well-known and studied problem and solutions have been proposed to counter it. The most promising one is augmenting LLMs with a retrieval system. This involves sourcing a large database of factual information, say journal articles, over which the LLM uses an information retrieval system(search engine) to extract information on which its generated output is conditioned. Recent job postings from OpenAI suggest that’s their next step of development for these LLMs.

I think critics of these LLMs are missing the point about the excitement around them. People are excited because of the rate of progress/improvement from just two years or a year ago. These systems have come a long way, and if you extrapolate that progress into the future, I predict majority of these shortcomings getting resolved

> sudden presence among us of exotic, mind-like entities might precipitate a shift in the way we use familiar psychological terms ... But it takes time for new language to settle, and for new ways of talking to find their place in human affairs ... Meanwhile, we should try to resist the siren call of anthropomorphism.

Yes: Human analogies are not very useful because they create more misunderstanding than they dissipate. Dumb ? Conscious ? No thanks. IMO even the “i” in “AI” was already a (THE ?) wrong choice. They thought we will soon figure out what Intelligence is. Nope. Bad luck. And this "way of talking" (and thinking) is unfortunately cemented today.

However, I'm all for using other analogies more often. We need to. They may not be precise, but if they are well-chosen, they speak to us better than any technical jargon (LLM anyone ?), better than that “AI” term itself anyway.

Here is two I like (and never see much) :

- LLMs are like the Matrix (yes that one !), in the straightforward sense that they simulate reality (through language). But that simulation is distorted and sometimes even verges on the dream ("what is real? what is not?", says the machine)

- LLMs are like complex systems [1]. They are tapping into very powerful natural processes where (high degree) order emerges from randomness through complexity. We are witnessing the emergence of a new kind of "entity" in a way strangely akin to natural/physical evolutionary mechanisms.

We need to get more creative here and stop that boring smart VS dumb or human VS machine ping pong game.

Yeah, I think so. But my hunch is that the majority of people who tell you never to use stored procedures have been burned by these techniques not being used for them.
Being a VP is just a role you can assume as an MEP. Reducing the number of VPs won’t reduce the number of MEPs. Reducing the number of MEPs is orthogonal to reducing the number of VPs.
Like another person said, the decline of checks in the US is probably much of the reason why these scams are taking off. In the 80s or 90s everyone knew of the possibility of "writing a bad check". My local stores would even have lists of people posted at the checkout who they wouldn't accept checks from due to writing bad checks. Even if didn't use checks back then, you'd be aware of this possibility. But now, younger people are not as familiar with how they work.
That possible heliostat future I keep bringing up wouldn't be about $/Watt (that was an argument for helostat back when modules were much more expensive, but certainly isn't the case anyone), but about finding a sweet spot in agrivoltaics between energy and nutrient harvest: Watts per impact on farming. Or more specifically, electricity dollars per impact on farming. Because when there is a large installed base of photovoltaics, watts at noon won't be worth much compared to watts at deeper sun hours. And for the same amount of off-noon watts, a heliostat setup would cause less shading to the plants below than any other setup. And as a bonus benefit, the east/west spacing inherent to heliostat installations would give a nice distribution of shading, at least nicer than with fixed east/west lines. I believe that the advantages are quite clear, but of course only if the mechanical parts can be cheap enough (in terms of resource use). Flat north/south lines that only pivot east/west would surely be a sweet spot, up to a certain latitude.
Is anybody really searching for those keywords though? (E.g. “public speaker”… I spent just enough time in academia to be ahead of of 95% of those chumps because if I have 15 minutes to speak I shut my trap at 15 minutes and let the next speaker speak.)

I deleted my LinkedIn account because it was bringing me more bullshit artists, salespeople who couldn’t sel and people would set up meetings with domain experts and ignore what they say than I could deal with.

This seems like overkill to me; a single Postgres master with replication/standby gets you very far. Why pay the ops burden of Cockroach when it buys you nothing in your first N years of business pre-PMF?

Parquet has the opposite problem of CSV though. It's so complex to work with, that unless you're specifically in data science, it's both unheard of and unusable.

To read a parquet file in Python, you need Apache Arrow and Pandas. And literally the second result for "parquet python libraries" is an article titled "How To Read Parquet Files In Python Without a Distributed Cluster".

I remember dealing with Parquet file for a job a while back and this same question came up: Why isn't there a simpler way, for when you're not in the data science stack and you just need to convert a parquet file to csv/json/read rows? Is is a limitation of the format itself?

Those studies talk about different things: sexual desire vs the actual sex had. Is it possible that the men who do less housework are the macho types, and while the wife might have lost the desire for her husband, she still would have sex with him just to avoid quarrels?
Maybe better advice is to not take on as identities things that you just took over from other people without questioning. Also know what the other side is thinking before deciding what belongs in your identity and what not. There are things that you should believe because you are you. There are also things that should be firmly rejected. It actually takes a fair bit of living before one knows things definitively. But there is also the danger of being too open minded. One can be so open minded that ones brain falls out...

I think there's much more of a pattern of seeing such mistakes + an accent as evidence that English isn't their native language rather than evidence of stupidity. We see so many more non-native speakers.
The unspoken context is that this goes beyond saying "hello".

In my experience, hello people usually present with the following comorbidities:

- inability to learn and retain new information.

- inability to own their work and take responsibility from end-to-end.

- tendency to push their own work onto other people and become a victim when the other person doesn't do exactly what they want.

Maybe the psychology student you mentioned could look into this phenomenon for their thesis?
Good point, but at the time I didn’t think of that. I’ve never done a chargeback, which is probably a testament to my banks’ fraud detection.

You're exactly right. In Croatia everything of any value is owned or being sold to German companies and they pretty much own the place (or at least what worth anyway). All of this is facilitated by the same government for the last 30 years or so. The same government has been completely and obviously corrupted to the core, but never, even much of a peep criticised by the EU.They are all friends there. As long as the public is not openly rioting, EU likes this arrangement.

I've seen that though. I was told to book my own travel and get it reimbursed too. Eventually they provided a portal to do bookings through, but it's still my card and reimbursement-after-the-event.

I suspect with a small firm that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated travel "guy" it probably simplifies things letting people book their own flights.

For some people, airline choice is a big deal. For some cities, you might even pick the wrong airport (i. e. if the person has an easier commute to Newark or Laguardia than JFK). Not to mention scheduling (maybe someone wants to travel the "day before" because of risk of too-tight scheduling).

OTOH, maybe it's simpler for "local team all in one city" versus "remote workers being herded to a single event".

How does this compare to X2Go?
I need to store ~50 million records with around 40 columns of strings, integers, decimals, various data. Only needs to be indexed by two string columns, but every day I want to "upsert" ~10 million records with data that has potentially changed, plus update a column that represents the date that the row was last updated on every row.

With Postgres it seems to be inefficient at storing rows with large amounts of columns, and "upserting" data (using UPDATEs or INSERT ON CONFLICT) results in huge amounts of disk writes, I think because Postgres writes the entire row even if a single column has been updated.

I could store some of the regularly updated columns in a separate table, but I'd thought I'd ask, is there a database out there that is more suited for this type of workload? Because I feel like "just use postgres for everything" is not the answer here.
Elixir pipelines are not concurrent, unless you use something that allows that (flow and probably stream behind the scenes)
