If by "advanced in-database processing" you mean stuff like PostGIS, then yes PostgreSQL is the right approach. But for most people building web-apps to scale, or established businesses who want to pick a solution and stick to it for basically ever, MySQL is much easier to scale. There's a ton of companies running MySQL at scale. I never heard of the same for Postgres, and for a long while I had an intellectual preference for Postgres as being the more "pure" implementation. Experience in the field showed me that MySQL, despite its flaws, is the name of the game.

Further "evidence" by referring to other experienced folks who worked on scaling SQL databases, and MySQL is what's used and what folks have experience with:

The PNG spec actually has wording to disallow data past the end.

why do you think adding vram, but not cores will make it run faster?..

Actually asking, this is not rhetorical.
Had a friend of friend who worked at Enron.

Years ago, she showed me her Enron Beanie Baby corporate merch. (Oh the irony..)

I wonder if she still has it. It's obscure enough that you can't even find a photograph it online. I guess it might be worth a few bucks these days.
I'd kill for anything close to EF for Node. Selecting complex structures from a database in any of the existing JS ORMs is just painful.
The problem with metrics on coders who are just doing run-of-the-mill tasks is that even if you do find a good metric... when they want to push beyond run-of-the-mill and start innovating, they now look bad. You ultimately end up incentivizing coders to game the system, not to build quality code.
I didn't say machine learning is useless.

Big difference.
Avalonia is a real thing and works quite well.
I knew it would be like this yet still clicked in and immediately regretted after reading the first couple of top level threads
Not from what I have seen. GN is pretty encouraging and frequently reports on Arc driver improvements.
The boilerplate is pretty minimal nowadays. In 2020, C# introduced top-level statements, which removed a lot of the ceremony.

You used to have a class, and there would typically be a separate Startup.cs file. Today, this is a complete .cs file for creating an API:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();
Interesting. I currently work for a tiny 6 person non-profit that has a web and mobile app that we provide access to for other non profits to use, and onboarding is a pain point. I reached out, though I suspect we don't have enough funds for the service.
its a GREAT sign - it means Gelsinger is serious about making progress and is willing to replace ineffective leaders

I would be more concerned by the opposite - presuming to fix the company using the same people who were responsible for the decline
Why be surprised?

He had a point and a bunch of kneejerkers emoted everywhere. You appear interested in doing that, and so do the commenters, but that’s hardly the only thing that happens on HN.

Obviously.

There are areas where his opinions probably come close to qualifying as facts, and he’s relevant, so he’ll continue to show up.

If that’s “problematic”, I assure you that RMS is not the actual problem.
Well that was my point, either you're writing a lot of code yourself ("assembly"), or you use EF ("Python").

We're not used to something like EF, perhaps it would work for us. But debugging generated queries due to performance issues is something we'd like to avoid. For now the decision was made to not use EF.
The big missing FP features in ECMAScript are pattern matching and pipe operator.

I know there are proposals but neither seems to be making much progress.

I like FP but shoehorning it in with libraries is ugly compared to having native syntax.
All the people that only saw the city for work/employment now don't have to live there. That was huge. Now we wait what's going to happen to all these office real estate. The office doesn't need to go away but not everyone has to have one these days.

Employment contracts are not required to be signed, or even in writing.

You almost certainly do in fact have an employment contract.
I agree in principle, but I'd figure most people on HN would know what FP and OOP are.
But good for the baby.

Per the actual lede of the story: "[The mother] said she is looking forward to enjoying the end of her pregnancy and the beginning of motherhood."
While it isn't mainstream, I encourage people to look into https://scala-js.org, I can't find any more practical language where you can take advantages of FP + the js ecosystem.
Prove that RMS supports sexual intercourse with prepubescent children or stop breaking the law slandering the man.
I wouldn't be so quick about the data (from what I hear openai did a lot of data curation) and engineers (I don't think engineers at openai are any worse, and that are likely more focused), but Google does have a lot of money.
"Hello world" is a one-liner Since .Net 6.
1000%. It's all about creating and aligning incentives.

Government gets this sometimes - subsidy for the things it cares about. Food, energy, defense. Those are all pretty solid, even if some of the vendors aren't the greatest. The sheer scale of the investment means we'll be okay. Too big to fail.

Often these big budget items get bloated by congressional sway pulling work into disparate districts as job programs. Or locked away in under-performing incumbents (Lockheed / Boeing vs SpaceX), but if we expose the system to more evolutionary pressure and competition, it might thrive.

SpaceX is an example of the RFP process turned on its head. Designing ahead of time for an understood public demand, in a bloated industry, in a way that serves both the public and private sector. A solution where the private sector needs serve to justify the cutting of costs and hone the product into a shape that is undeniably cost attractive and competitive.

The things the government subsidizes that don't compete or aren't forced to stay lean - education, transportation, infrastructure, healthcare - tend to bloat up and soak up all the money they can as well as underperform on all of our expectations.

Maybe the solution is to stop paying the current service providers and hire new ones that service private industry. They'll already be in a shape to optimize for costs and fend with competition.
Does anyone know if her star earrings are a reference to her rank? Or is it just a coincidence?
Can't remember who said it, but it went something like "any headline phrased as a potentially provocative question means the answer is no".

Which is what the paper reduxes to.
What a shame. I'm by no means a photographer but I found their reviews incredibly helpful.
I guess the better question is, are the complaints limited to those that provide a poor service? Or are they fairly evenly distributed regardless of how good or bad the government in question performs?
IMHO the real target is the enterprise market - and no one really cares about the gaming market anymore; look at Nvidia and AMD, both pretty much gave the middle finger to gamers with their high prices.

The cynic in me feel that Intel is targeting the gaming market now because they have no shot in the enterprise world and they need _someone_ to fund their GPU development. Still it’s welcomed competition. Enjoy it while it last I guess.
They specifically don't resell the mortgages, it's part of their marketing.

> "The CIA will dump kiddie porn on your computer if you cross them" is basically "the ATF will shoot your dog if you cross them" trope but for a different group of people.

Except that we know, via Snowden, all manner of things that the TLAs can do and have done.

"Child Porn" charges should ALWAYS be acknowledged with great skepticism given just how much damage even the accusation will do--especially if the investigation is focused on just one person (ie. not part of a broader sting or sweep).

However, in this instance, the evidence looks pretty damning. I still don't like them reporting on it, though. The man deserves the opportunity to prove his innocence in court and reporting the accusations denies him that--even if he is found innocent (which admittedly looks unlikely), the reporting will destroy his life.

> That said if this were anybody that wasn't part of the media "club" the media would not have extended them the benefit of the doubt and would have ran with the accusation in the title. That's the part that really bothers me. Screw them and their double standard.

That is fair and hard to disagree with.
I doubt we’ll see the end of that joke.
The only issue with "tell me what happened and that's it" is what if it's not in your wheelhouse? For example, do I personally care about a children's tylenol shortage? Is there an issue with precursors, demand, shipping, bottling? Just reading the headline and the "data and statistics" wouldn't really make me care one way or the other, and again, perhaps that's fine. Perhaps it's useful to just know there's a shortage or whatever the news du jour is.

I find reddit and fediverse good for getting the extremely polarized opinions out in the open on topics i have very little idea about. Don't get me wrong, i realize that i'm getting a lot of bad inputs, here.

But the flip side is i am not seeing advertisements constantly, and since i know where the extreme edges are i can actually have a conversation where someone more knowledgeable than me can correct my understanding - or attempt to.

RE: 10 years, i actually got rid of televisions in my house shortly after "mission accomplished" back in 2002 or 2003. I told myself that recording and going through news about the 9/11 attacks wasn't doing me any favors. So i'm technically 20 years without a "TV" connected to OTA or any other service. I mostly watch youtube reviews and my personal copies of TV shows and whatnot.

I tried around the start of the pandemic to get an OTA setup on my projector. I ended up just using it to record me.tv or whatever it's called, the "oldies" station. Wasn't worth the disk i was using for it.

Anything "national" or international, i got a friend that will set up an RTMP stream off their cable box and send me a link. This has worked fine for 5 years.
I'm sure it's fueled by xenophobia, but if we think of China / US as competing technology firms, the decision makes even more sense. What tech firm would want a one-sided relationship where their employees share information using a competitors platform, when you have no guarantee of privacy?

I don't think the walled isolation claim sticks - the US would not be seeking to isolate itself. Instead, it would be requiring both countries to operate on the same playing field. Why would anyone want to play a game when the other side won't agree to the same rules?
This case is hardly an instance showing that. You could maybe argue by Alex Jones stuff for that. But the sort the the missing reasons like this did happened in 1990-2010 too.
It's still showing the same message at the source lol

Betteridge's law of headlines

> Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older. It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...
Two factors here:

1. Journalists don't necessarily want to write about 1 topic for their entire lives either. They can pivot, and its no harder than finding a different job for a journalist.

2. Journalist writers have a responsibility and freedom to choose more durable topics. If you built your brand on a fad (web3), even if to criticize it, you make yourself vulnerable. Whereas if you built on on say cloud computing/ancient history/how to find jobs in tech, you'd be on way safer grounds.
I would say AI is the rare topic that is both insanely hyped and permanently durable. The industrial revolution lasted centuries, so will AI.
The lie that tells the truth.
All the *.md links give a 404.
In my experience, no. But it's highly dependent on the prompt and the subject matter.

Especially with GPT4 and the right prompt.
> the climate hasn't actually changed anywhere near enough in any location to cause people to move.

Where I live (near Santa Fe, NM), human civilization has moved in and out several times over the last, say, 5000 years, always correlated with the arrival of long term drought conditions. The last big movement was during the megadrought of the late 1300's, and apparently involved migrations of between 300 and 1000 miles.

Similar patterns are well known to archaeologists and anthropologists across the planet.

Also "and migration" doesn't have any tense or time context and even the GP's wording ("X tends to correlate with Y") is also largely free of any implied time period.

In years past this was one of my favorite sites (from before the Amazon acquisition). Then A few years ago they blocked one of my posts. I don't remember the specifics, probably I included a link to another site. Anyway suffice to say the post wasn't commercial or spammy or negative. I deleted my account and never visited the site again. It was quite hard to delete my account iirc.

But then, most devs wouldn’t want their procedures inside the database anyway (with attendant lack of integration/versioning).
Eh, I think a lot of the reasons to be skeptical of crypto still apply to "AI".

AI may have actual real world uses (unlike crypto), but it's also the subject of a huge hype campaign (like crypto) largely consisting of the same people hyping crypto, with similar strategies of emphasizing FOMO (like crypto) and making wild and fantastical claims about unheard of growth and about the end of the existing world order through technology in a way that borders on eachatology (like crypto).
I'm only just getting into this space, but immediately my thought process based on what I've learned so far would be to set up the pipeline such that It would split the video into keyframes with ffmpeg, and then use the clipseg to generate a mask of the person/background and use that to randomize the backgrounds with img2img! It could probably be done for the clothes as well...
Pretty funny if this is common practice!
Because I have an access to the larger models.
Interesting. I also have "AI" fatigue. I said on a different post that the "AI" wave is going to create a counter-culture where people will crave for non "AI" products and services. I think one of the reasons is a combo between empathy, self-reflection, and fear.

Half the problems with music is because of record companies magically inventing new ways to try and extract more money from each other and their supply chain.

It's kind of hard for me to mentally square that with the amount/types of publications that exist for it, though of course it makes sense on further thought.

What I mean is that I found it very hard to find "interesting" stuff built with it. You get the official documentation and that's it - for .Net Framework, anyway. Few blog posts about issues and their solutions, cool demonstrations or just general musings. It's like people don't care. And maybe they don't - it's just their job, after all, and they can't wait to go home to their wives and kids rather than think about some technology more than they have to.

As a newcomer (forced through an apprenticeship) who does think about technology more than he has to I found this bewildering and demotivating.

Microsoft seems to have realized this and seems to have put a reasonable amount of effort into building a community around the new .Net and making it seem exciting/interesting rather than something that's just in a really slow death spiral. Oh, and building things that one can easily get excited about. Non-nullable types come to mind.
Anyone has doubts that this thing can outtalk and outdebate just about anyone? Imagine a politician on stage, who gets hints from gpt4 in hus earpiece.
Shit, TypeScript's the first time JavaScript's been not-terrible. If I squint and tilt my head it sometimes even looks almost good.

However, it also says:

> The PNG decoder has to determine whether a syntax error is fatal (unrecoverable) or not, depending on its requirements and the situation. For example, most decoders can ignore an invalid IEND

It doesn't explicitly mention what decoders should do on encountering data after IEND, but The general philosophy for decoders seems to be that errors should be handled gracefully where possible, even if the file is technically malformed (which is maybe something that could be clarified or expanded upon?)
You can support nuclear and not be a Hollywood contrarian like, apparently, Oliver Stone.

No argument there, but OP's point was that the Truflation stats might give the Fed more wiggle room, since they're significantly lower than official CPI figures. Not if the Fed neither looks at nor gives any credence to the Truflation numbers. The Fed will continue to use lagging data and continue to make decisions that harm the economy.

(FWIW, the Fed does look at a variety of data sources, and the lag in housing numbers is well known to them. However, y'know who also uses lagging data when setting prices? Real estate agents. Comps usually go back a year or so, and anything sold in that time period is fair game. Y'know who else? Employees, when figuring out how much of an annual raise is fair. And so the Fed's decision-making process isn't strictly incorrect; if they don't hold rates high enough to actually see the inflation numbers go down, then the firms who set prices also aren't going to see the numbers go down when deciding how much to ask for.)
I am pretty sure this thread just invented adversarial self-play for LLMs.
I would think for all of that you want the information to be accurate even if its low level or a first line of defence. Imagine if you looked up the documentation for your tool and chatgpt wrote it.... Now it could be flat out wrong and you are spending hours wondering why nothing makes sense. Likewise with marketing or advertising, just watch the "Pepsi where's my jet" documentary to see what happens if you aren't dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's when it comes to marketing.

Story time.

In 2001 when the bubble was bursting we had a business deal with one of the trendy dot-com's. Because their office was across the street from us we had a lot of in person meetings, and they always had us come to their far more swanky office. Along with free drinks and food we always left with the pile of merch they shoved into our hands. It got to the point where my self and several co-workers had boxes of their crap at our desk.

They were in a consultant role. They often told management nonuse and made our lives hard on good day and miserable on a bad one. To say we could not stand them would be an understatement.

Then it happened, the news came down that there would be a massive layoff (ahh fucked company was great). I grabbed my perch box, and a coworker and his merch box and dressed as many homeless people as we could, head to toe in their gear and had them sit out side their main office door. Folks were streaming out of their office, boxes in hand with a bunch of homeless people dressed in their march.

That line in the sand between funny and asshole, I laid down and made a sand angel in it that day.
Not exactly. The interesting thing with perturbation theory as I remember it is that you have a series of infinitesimal perturbations, not just any old perturbations.
