I would recommend against modeling too many relations in a document DB. It can work, but it gets bogged down very quickly for the reasons you've stated.

My off-the-cuff suggestion is that document databases are not built to model normalized relational data. If you try to do so, you bring a whole new level of pain upon yourself. It is do-able, but it is hard and annoying.

I know this from extensive personal experience dealing with a large, highly relational Mongo database.

I am very glad you found a solution within Postgres that works for you, and your mapping of document to row and collection to table is very apt!

If possible, would you care to tell me what the size of said documents (rows) and collections (tables) are in your solution? I am curious if in another life, we might have built our tech stack on Postgres instead of MongoDB and been much happier for doing so.

For me, the culture has shifted. With regular cable TV, we definitely had the TV on more often and just in the background with maybe nobody paying particular attention to it. I actually found it quite helpful when working from home to have that sort of background noise.

However, in the time of streaming this has gone completely away in our household. The TV is only on for the time it takes to to watch a show and then is immediately turned off.
I can see why some people would like SF despite those issues. It's a big advantage that you can get around the city without a car and that the weather is nice, particularly those two things in combination. I still hated it for other reasons but don't assume everyone does.

The thing is, for each person there willingly, it seemed like there were 10 people just moving or commuting in for work. It was assumed by default that you don't live there or at least haven't been there for long.

> a propaganda machine would lie or weave facts to paint false pictures

A simple propaganda machine would. A sophisticated propaganda machine wouldn't want to be seen as a propaganda machine and wouldn't go off the rails, but just significantly lean on all topics and reports and massage the truth enough to make an impact, but not so much to derail the train.

No clue whether that's true for NPR, I think I've only ever seen something from them when I randomly discovered Kishi Bashi because he did an NPR concert that I enjoyed. But I don't think it's useful to say "you've either completely left reality whenever it comes to topics concerning your agenda or you're not a propaganda machine". Like, if I have a pair of dices that I can control, I won't just hit the best throw each time, because it won't last. I'll make much more money if I just make sure I win 60% of the time.

A 51% doesn't get you coins, it lets you spend coins twice. Imagine:

1) borrow a bunch of BTC, 2) use it to buy stuff you want, 3) 51% attack to fork the chain and reverse your spend, 4) pay back the borrowed BTC

What does it matter if the price of BTC falls through the floor afterward?

Of course depending on what you buy, what your lender knows and cares about, and more, you might still face repercussions that make it unreasonable to expect to benefit, but that's enforced outside of BTC rather than by BTC, relying on the systems BTC proponents often explicitly distrust.
The side effects are also influenced by the placebo effect. Maybe they'd be less problematic, but they'd still exist.

Give me little hope for our country at the moment.
So you thought they were pretty good until Trump came along and then they did a hard left? Have you considered the possibility that they didn't change at all and that their reporting was on the money?

People that urgently want to believe the Hunter Biden laptop story was somehow relevant tend to be hardliner Trump supporters and I find it hard to see how if that is their perspective they could be convinced that Trump has been a disaster for US politics if they haven't come to that conclusion on their own by now.

Think about it: Republicans want to pull their funding. Why would that be? Because they are reporting the facts and that is inconvenient to them? Or for some non-partisan reason that I'm currently unaware of? There is this quote by Colbert: "Reality has a left wing bias" or something to that effect. NPR reporting leans 'left' only if you are far to the right of center. For the rest of the world - me included - it is still center or center right depending on the context.
I feel like the backlash against Stable Diffusion had the opposite change in visibility. It revealed that thousands of people wanted a way to produce unique art in the styles of living artists, where some of those people might have gone to either their Patreon or a piracy site that scraped Patreon instead. Either way they're not as visible if they're only consuming the result.

To some artists, AI generated images from their styles would amount to "productive piracy." Unlike torrenting the act is often out in the open since users tend to share the results online. I'm not sure if this phenomenon has happened before; with teenagers pirating Photoshop it's impossible to tell from a glance if the output is from a pirated version.

> post-Columbus ongoing deforestation in the Americas's

It's an open question how much of the Americas were actually heavily forested before western disease killed 95% of the population.

A lot of what Europeans saw when they explored was basically post-apocalyptic wilderness which had sprung up in the 100-200 years since the vast majority of the population was killed.
I hadn't reviewed GFM's table extension previously, thanks for sharing.

At first sight, I think GFM's table extension and Sheet Markup have different goals. While the table extension is intended for displaying a single table of data, Sheet Markup for defining an interactive spreadsheet, including things like formulas. Such a spreadsheet might not really be a single "table" as such, it might be multiple separate logical tables. Also, I suspect that we will in future want to extend Sheet Markup with additional features which would be "even further" from what GFM's table extension supports.

But thanks, certainly food for thought!
FWIW, JSONB supports JSON nulls, and all numbers are encoded as `numeric` type, storing integers and float64 values precisely (well, as much as possible for float64 values).

But you comment is correct for other data types like date-times and binary strings where some form of encoding/decoding is needed.
But... That means that their workers would constantly poll Postgres server instead of push mechanism of AMQT, aren't they?

Well, where did those systemic forces come from? Does it take your right back to Mao? (I have no idea, it just seems curious that suddenly you'd have these systemic forces cause huge problems that didn't exist before...)

"It's systemic" isn't a stopping point for an investigation. If you diagnose something as systemic it tells you something about how you're gonna have to fight it, but nothing really about blame. E.g. if you talk about the effects of systemic racism in the US the blame isn't abstract, you can clearly trace back many policies, biases, and differences to active, individual racism over centuries.

He had some crazy stories, especially about walking across Siberia.

He's a bit of a character to say the least. He decided to cross the U.S. by walking down I-80 from SF to New York. On that leg, his most positive stories were about going through Utah. A church group heard about what he was doing, and would leave him little packages along the highway every couple of miles with a bottle of water and some food. I know he stayed a lot of the time in people's houses. Once people heard his story, they'd just invite him over.
Frankly, I find a lot of films are better as "background watching".

I especially find Marvel movies much better at home. I might find one entirely OK watched at home, but get frustrated and bored with the same film in the theater, and leave feeling pretty unhappy with it. This is because I can divide my attention at home, and most Marvel movies are kinda worse the more closely you're watching them. Poor filming and editing, interminable action scenes that have me wanting to take a nap rather than watch them by a certain point—all that's better if you can check out for chunks of the movie.

And this isn't a my-attention-span thing: I closely watch "boring" shit like silent films all the time, because they reward close watching far more than a lot of modern blockbusters do (older blockbusters often reward it better, too—at least, the ones we still remember)
The real risk, of course, is that this has some strange motivation like "we want to reduce the number of infected people interacting with our healthcare workers" or something like what they did for masks and COVID.

It says this:

> A big ass screen in the living room makes this hard to achieve. If you want to listen to music or a podcast before going to bed, it’s impossible to avoid a bright now playing screen or animated screen saver.

I found that super confusing - why are you using the TV to listen to music or a podcast? Can't you use a different device? It still wasn't clear why you needed the TV on but blank after reading that. Why not grab headphones or use a bluetooth speaker? Why use the TV, which probably has terrible built-in speakers?

Given the explanations that some people want to use their Smart TV specifically for music/podcasts, it does make sense. But I would lead with that - not beat around the bush.

I really wish for a better search these days, but instead of grinding everything through an LLM I would much prefer better presentation of the original information. In fact in the best case it would filter all generated content.

This is generally pretty easy, with ChatGPT at least, in my experience.

Langchain uses this prompt: "The following is a friendly conversation between a human and an AI. The AI is talkative and provides lots of specific details from its context. If the AI does not know the answer to a question, it truthfully says it does not know."

Also, just don't ask it for things it couldn't possibly know without making it up like medical citations.

This is more for where you want your "AI" assistant to say it does not know how to book a reservation rather than pretend that it can.

My point is that practically speaking, it does matter where the signal is, depending on how you filter it. If you lowpass filter an RF- (or, more realistically, IF-) centered signal, you can't just sample it at 2X bandwidth because you'll get aliases from the unwanted content between DC and the bottom frequency edge of the signal.

It may not be a common scenario anymore, but it was very common in the early GSM days when the signal wasn't mixed to DC but near-DC.

That does not mean there is a conflict of interest. By your standards no news organization would ever be able to report on things that they themselves are a player in. But in the real world this happens with some regularity and editorial boards have set ways of dealing with this sort of situation. They tend to become far more careful as soon as their own name is part of the story on the off chance that it could be used as proof that they are not able to report cleanly, which is then used to extrapolate to everything else they write about.

Maybe, but LLMs have incredibly intricate connections between all the different parameters in the model. For instance, perhaps someone who does mundane things X, Y, Z, also turns out to be racist. An LLM can build a connection between X, Y, Z whereas a recruiter could not. An LLM could also be used to standardize responses among candidates. E.g. a recruiter could tune an LLM on a candidate and then ask "What do you think about other races? Please pick one of the four following options: ...". A recruiter wouldn't even be necessary. This could all be part of an automated prescreening process.

Maybe the context of this appearing on HN is shifting the perception of this page, but this is posted on an individual's blog. If the author had the mindset of "literally don't have to write anything more than that", then they wouldn't have been blogging for seemingly 15 years.

This page is very far from the worst offenders when it comes to this sort of thing. The features are outlined in the first paragraph. You truly can't get better than that. Odds are people who will want this app will immediately identify why those features are useful. For the people who don't immediately see the use, you only have to read a few more short paragraphs.
