Everything is correct except for the first one. Hydration is HEAVILY dependent on age. Younger bodies can hold on to way more water, and that decreases as we age. This is the primary reason why we get worse hangovers as we age.

Drink water while it makes you feel good, but for the love of God, do not force-hydrate yourself, especially if you are not 40.

Please, don't write your own JSON parser/validator. There's JSON Schema https://json-schema.org which has implementations in most languages.
You can valiate your JSON by a given, standardized JSON schema file - and you're basically done.
After the validation, it's probably good practise to map the JSON to some DTO and may do some further validation which doesn't check the structure of the data but it's meaning.

Can't speak for the rest of the world, but in South Africa mobile service providers will let you do eSIMs for things like Apple Watches, but not for anything else.

I think this is because it's common for them to offer "data only" SIMs which have far lower rates than data on a SIM card which can do both data and voice. Typically these data only SIMs are made available just for mobile WiFi hotspots. My suspicion is that not generally offering eSIMs is about protecting this business practice.

I don't know anyone who likes any of the mobile companies here, people just use whoever they feel is the least intolerable.

Yes, you could read it that way too. If the results are binary like that, it seems like it would need some form of chain reaction to convert all the epinephrine in 13% of the samples, leaving pure ephinephrine in the others.

Well done! I wonder if it's worth it to also hide a "select model" option somewhere, since we're putting in our own api keys i'd be interested in trying out other models even though they arent "chat" models.

Also would be great to see which messages are included in the computation, since chat gpt limits total characters per request to 4K? so inevitably some past messages will be rendered useless.

Overall well done!

I don't know about this. We all have seen this kind of code:

if(!needToDoTheThing()) return;

DoTheThing();

We could have written it this way:

if(needToDoTheThing()) {
DoTheThing();
}
else {
return;
}

The later is closer to how pattern match looks like. But in my experience, the majority of programmers prefer early return. I regularly see people "refactor" if-else to if-early-return, but I've never seen the opposite.
[UPDATE:]

The other day my app got a 1-star customer review titled "Monthly subscriptions ain't it" and saying "0/5 now that it's subscription based."

I think (hope?) it's the beginning of a long, slow decline for Amazon as a marketplace, unless they fix this. This distrustful sentiment is something I hear from a lot of younger people (<40 year olds). I didn't even notice it myself until recently, but I am buying more and more stuff directly from other niche e-commerce websites, because I know half of the search results on Amazon are a scam.

Great point. I'd love to see eSIMs managed via an open standard over NFC, phone-to-phone or POS-to-phone to "simulate" the transferability of physical SIMs without the tiny piece of plastic.

But until then, I'm avoiding eSIMs entirely. I used to have a CDMA Verizon iPhone back in the day, and every time I switched to or from it (it eventually became my backup phone) I had to call Verizon to beg them to move my number between phones. Slow, annoying, and error-prone: I ended up with no usable phone more than once.

And now a lot of carriers are charging $15-30 "activation fees" in the US every time you set up an eSIM on a phone. No thank you.
The consumer links are usually oversubscribed. In Prague, you can easily get 1Gbps if you're near fibre. However, office-quality link will cost you 10x more for the same nominal speed.
It's actually kind of amazing that there's not any real consequence to making that bad call. It sucked up a lot of energy, lots of people tried to stake and early adopter position in the metaverse and it turns out everyone just didn't want that.

But is TOS enforceable. That is the question. We have yet to properly test it in US court. I would like to finally get a binding court opinion whether a company can just put 'and we own your soul and youngest pet in perpetuity' and make cops come to your home to enforce that. I would like some clarity. Not this weird purgatory that benefits companies only.

In the end, any discussion on this turned rough the moment the article started with 'Elementary school students in Canada recently schooled NASA scientists'. It makes everything suddenly a students vs scientists thing, and the details in the article are lacking or inconsistent.

Sounds like a high risk pathway to target.

That said, there might be something to it- I wonder if the decrease in average human body temperature over the last several decades correlates with the increases in life expectancy?
Because doing that on a phone with a physical SIM does not have a plausible justification.

But with a software-based solution, they can argue that due to the lack of updates your device is now vulnerable and your SIM can be cloned, spoofed and so you should get rid of it.

With a physical SIM those hacks are not possible even if I'm on a 20 yr old dumb-phone, because all the auth logic resides in the SIM itself.
Do you know, does that turn into benzoic acid on the ground too, or does it need those high-energy rays to convince them? (ie should old epipens be considered potentially dangerous due to benzoic acid)

Also, do you know how fast it goes bad (on the ground)? The pens have a best-before-date of about a year, often less, and I've always thought that was a method of increasing sales.

I actually feel like a printed reference is proportionally less useful than it once was, as ease of reading electronic documents improved (you can buy a Kindle e.g.) and it became more and more valuable to be able to copy-paste which is frustrating with print.

For example Godbolt ("Compiler Explorer") and similar suck-it-and-see sites are really nice for taking example code and answering your questions, if I copy-paste the example from a book, and tweak it, assuming the author did their job and the code actually works (this was too often not the case in older books) I can check it works as I expected. If I had to laboriously hand type the example that's much harder for the same value.

Even twenty years ago it was common to offer larger pieces of code from technical books as downloads, but unlike copy-paste the downloads only pay off for larger codebases. If your book builds a 40 000 line library of structures and algorithms, the download is great, but for a twenty line example the download is almost as cumbersome as hand typing it, copy-paste is right in the sweet spot for this.

I do own one or two very modern programming books in hard copy, but they're mostly not "that sort" of books where you'd want to run example code, and I'm increasingly ambivalent about the value of the printed book in this space, whereas I only read novels on paper.
I work at Weaviate, a few comments on why we implemented hybrid search [1].

- Using two separate systems for traditional BM25 and vector search and keeping them in-sync is pretty difficult from an operations perspective. A combined system is much easier to manage and will have better end-to-end latency.

- For combining scores, a linear combination like this article suggests is not recommended and instead rank fusion https://rodgerbenham.github.io/bc17-adcs.pdf (where you care what each method ranks first rather than the absolute score) is used.

- The point of adding both search methods is for dealing with what researchers term "out of domain data". This is for datasets the model producing the vectors was not trained on. Research from Google https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.10582 suggests hybrid search with rank fusion helps in this case by around 20.4%. For "in domain" data, the model (usually transformer based) will out perform BM25.

- Using a cross encoder [2] is a good component to add to improve relevance. It will just though rerank the final results, so if the initial search returns 100 garbage results the cross encoder won't be able to help.

Json schema doesn't have relation with static type system, ie. in typescript it's much better to use composable, functional combinators at i/o boundaries only and don't do any extra checks anywhere where type system provides guarantees.

I use Google Fi in the US, which offers (unlimited?) data-only SIMs for no cost in addition to my phone number-associated SIM.

What exactly did eSIM enable here? With dual SIM phones, you can even put one data SIM and one number SIM in a single phone at the same time. Plus it's simple and easy to move either SIM to any other SIM-compatible device at any time.

Yes, that is the more socially acceptable answer. Try start posting some racial slurs in your work chat, you will get disciplined or fired from just a few or even a single one. Now try instead posting "we should destroy humanity with nuclear weapons" or something similar, people will tell you to stop being annoying but nobody will think that it is an offensive thing to say.

But who are those for? I mean, I get what you're saying I just don't think it solves the issue. Sure,I could sign up for JoeRogan.biz and start posting using that handle, but I would also have to pay to hide the whois information.

All government agencies would have a verified .gov domain.

States have access to .gov domains

hell, My local town has a .gov domain.

States have access to domains like ca.us, schools in states have access to k12.ca.us domains.

I guess States could offer domains like, person.county.town.state.us but what a mouthful. Or maybe person.citizen.state.us but doesn't seem ideal either.

I guess you could have a verified TLD so you can have individual domains like johndoe.verified... but it takes away from the domain being linked back to my website. Sure I could set up a redirect but boy that's starting to get complicated.

I think domains are a fine barrier for entry for vanity handles. Current domain registers could offer their own verification services where they can include the verification in the whois information.

If Joerogan.biz doesn't come back with some kind of verification string inside then it's not Joe's domain. That string could be a pubkey and services could allow for either encrypted posting or including an encrypted string that verifys against the domains whois information.

Or that pubkey could be stored as a txt record in the domain.
While I agree that the locked-off history is a downside to me I think this is actually a benifit to the target audience.

A lot of people want to start communities and this lock in if knowledge and constant asking of the same questions keeps a view of activity and boosts users numbers. It also gives a more personal feel that may encourage people to stay.

Especially for streamers who are trying to make a personal-feeling connection I suspect this is incredibly valuable. Especially if you offload a lot of the repetitive work to unpaid moderators.

Basically the goal of Discord isn't to hold and organize information. The information is just a lure. The search feature exists so that you can convince yourself that the history is useful and available. This leads to people needing to come in and engage in a personal-feeling way.
You want a "Professional" dishwasher, not a "Commercial" one.

Commercial are for high throughput. Professional are for special needs, like labware or medical equipment, and have customizable cycles.

Typical cycles of 25-30 mins, and some with cycles as short as 3 mins.

But they're still about 5x the cost of a basic residential model, even if cheaper than commercial types.

Thanks for your reply!

A. OK, I like that, thanks

B. OK

C. Just to confirm - the chunks are verbatim right? So in theory I could just do a string search in the document to locate the chunk?

D. I would assume that you are currently not encrypting the data at rest. Encrypting it with the customer's API would probably result in a performance hit?

In any case, if you're not encrypting it at all, and in absence of any certification/assurances as to your data security practices then as a customer I'm forced to assume that giving you access to the data (and prompts) is tantamount to public disclosure of it. I mean, LastPass had their data stolen. You and us are both startups. Anything valuable that is not nailed to the floor (encrypted with utmost paranoia) is like leaving the chairs on the patio of a beach bar at night.

In which case there is no defensibility to be found there for us. It doesn't prevent us from becoming a customer, but it means we have to hedge our use cases so as not to put our own customers' data (e.g. trade secrets that might be included in their documents) at risk.

E. Great to know, thanks!
The costs seem reasonable to me. I think the issue is with the expectations.

>Doing that would also price out all EVs, because they are all heavy because of batteries.

They are slightly more heavy, but I'm not convinced it's all because of batteries. Fwiw, there are plenty of EVs that are much, much lighter - you just forgot to include them: e-bikes (regular and cargo), e-scooters and electronic microcars. In any case, we could just have a different "starting point" when considering electric cars, making this a non-issue.

>We should build our roads to handle that and stop shaming weight. The future is going to involve heavier cars for both emission and safety reasons. Fixating on weight is a bad idea.

I doubt that this is an engineering problem that can actually be solved in an economically feasible manner. If you have any evidence of being able to do so, go ahead.

Barring that, there are plenty of other reasons besides road wear to fixate on and shame weight for vehicles - energy consumption and collision lethality being two important ones that come to mind.
