Diving into the Future: Serverless Data Warehouse Platform Architecture
There are some other options in between as well. FAISS is a library, so not suited well for production usage unless a single machine is enough. The variety is wider than SaaS vs library. Tools such as Qdrant or Weaviate are Open Source.
And Qdrant might be launched without spinning a server, as long as you use a Python client. So you can actually start locally with in-memory mode, run your dev environment on-premise and then prod on Qdrant Cloud, if you prefer.
Gee, maybe they could call the new system "Classification" or something.
The main point is it's not even clear it can help with depression, at least not anymore than a sugar pill. I'm going to avoid referencing any single study since you can find a study to support practically any reasonable view. Instead I'd just encourage you to look up: 'ssri vs placebo' anywhere. The overwhelming body of evidence concludes that if there's any effect, it's absolutely negligible. And, as a previous poster mentioned, it may well simply be due to the fact that doing a double blind with SSRIs is not really possible. They have such a tremendous physical effect than any subject will absolutely know if they're getting the "real" thing.

And to be clear a placebo doesn't mean the effect of such isn't real. Mental state provably affects the body in all sorts of ways. Interestingly enough the placebo effect is often substantially stronger in Americans than in other groups as well [1]. The two main hypothesis there are that more poorly performing drugs are making it past regulators, the other is that the overwhelming amount of direct-to-consumer medical advertising creates a greater faith in the power of pills than in other countries - US/New Zealand are the only developed countries that allow direct to consumer medical ads. Or perhaps a mixture of both, like in many things.

Within the context of law, you may be correct and it may be a distinction that matters.

Practically speaking, it makes no difference.
This says 37th on the list, ordered by total violent crime. That's fairly low, considering how big a city SF is.

Yeah interesting question, though losing weight via caloric restriction is probably still a big positive effect
That depends on implementation. Shared libraries which use the same inode will be shared AFAIK. If containers use different libraries, they'll not be shared, of course, but that's a deliberate choice of container creator.

Sir, your response is not very civilised!

Short term, if you had 10GW of controllable nuclear, you will have to replace it with 10GW of another controllable source. As long as you don't have huge energy storage, replacing reliable and controllable energy source with something not controllable is pure fantasy. In our world this is typically replaced by Gas or Coal. Maybe in a future world we'll have plans to replace one controllable power plant with renewable and storage. BTW I'm mostly speaking about capacity and infrastructure, for sure you are free to not use an infrastructure at its maximum when there is wind or sun but you still need to build it, maintain it, buy and store gas coal or whatever...

Solar/wind is far from ideal, requiring more cement, metal and other materials but also more space than other traditional concentred power sources and by multiple orders of magnitude. You also have to take into account new infrastructures for energy storage.
Yeah but she’s going to get 4 a week not 4 per lifetime
What's the current status of longevity research? Do we know what causes aging and what allows some animals to love much longer than orders?
As global human populations appear to be en route to a steep decline by the end of the century, using genetic engineering to get keystone species through until conditions hopefully improve might go a long way to prevent some of the direst consequences of the destruction we cause. Also, it would be immensely useful if we had this tech to
help already severely reduced populations bounce back without too much damage from too little genetic diversity.
It was really surreal, reading through that thread and watching everyone assume they knew exactly what happened when there had literally been no public information given out about the suspect.
As far as I can tell, Google, culturally, just hates maintenance. Or practically anything that's not a product launch. Ask anyone who's done much development on Android—eternal bugs (I've seen people provide patches and beg to get them applied on bugs years and years old, and be ignored), half-assed implementations of all kinds of things, poor docs often with outdated info, mediocre architectural direction—and that's on a major product!

I think it's some combo of an organizational/internal-incentives failure, and a cultural thing where all these "geniuses" they hire can't be bothered to do any boring shit, to include, sometimes, properly finishing features they start developing.
Where is that known? Known by who? Do you have any actual evidence of this claim?

Well yes, that’s the best outcome; infinite energy which means infinite everything and, with AGI, infinite intelligence. Done properly, there is no worry; we will live in paradise. No needs for ads, wars or money. But it will depend on who owns it, no?
The answer is "no", of course.

As any biologist will tell you - these new technologies can't begin to bring these species "back". All they can do is create chimeras (based on other species) with certain attributes pasted on, as it were, such that they start to resemble the extinct species. But there is no technology that anyone can foresee that will bring any of these species back, with their entire genomes intact.

The premise of the article (that this is an open question, and you need to scroll down to find the answer) is flawed. It's basically clickbait.

If the claim of the former commissioner spraying people with bear mace is true then it is hardly a random attack but an escalation of violence after being attacked by a chemical weapon.
Perhaps in SF the victims of violent crime are in a higher social bracket than in other cities?

Aka more rich people are the target in SF compared to other cities where mostly lower class people are effected?
Thanks for the numbers. On the street except for murder cops won’t even take your report anymore. The numbers reflect nothing in SF and residents know it.
Not always so, see "Grandmother effect".

It's highly beneficial to keep around older members that can 1) work for their offspring or 2) provide important guidance and knowledge transfer.
But..lets take AI and latest developments out of the picture for a second..

Imagine e.g. whole food providing world consists of only few coorps, run by few individuals that run a bot army to plant and harvest crops.. and they reap all the profits, while everyone else is unemployed: Isn't that a problem of the system? Shouldn't at least at that point everybody agree that pure free market capitalism needs to stop here and we should communize food creation?

And now for everything else: Why shouldn't we favor all technical progress and gets us rid of "stupid" jobs.. there is so much more from caring for others, doing science, doing (human) art.. yes everyone needs a purpose, but there is enough to be done (like imagine Star Trek utopia). The problem is just, this won't get paid well or not paid at all, while few people own the essentials forever and can reap profits..

We should reconsider our wealth and power systems.. in the end some Star Trek utopia where noone is forced tio do something he doesn't want to but can pursue his purpose should be great, or why not?
> Claiming it is one of the most violent cities in the country

To be fair the phrasing "one of the most XXX" has a LOT of wiggle room at best, and is technically a tautology at worst.
This happened 3 times in the past six months. Where have you been?
There are also some sodium ion batteries on the road now. Their performance isn't stellar but it keeps cost down. LFP is indeed getting more popular. A lot of the more advanced chemistries also don't use cobalt, or use less of it.

Cobalt sourcing is of course an issue. But it's worth noting that it's usage is not unique to just lithium batteries. A lot of cobalt is consumed and not recycled in the oil industry and it's used in a variety of other industries as well. Why is it that child labor is only ever an issue in the context of batteries?

And another point is that of course not all cobalt mines are operated by child labor. Sourcing responsibly is an option if you need cobalt. You might have to pay extra for it.

And another point is that cobalt isn't by far the only thing that is commonly sourced in ways that perhaps aren't that nice. There's a wide variety of minerals, oil, etc. that are also produced under circumstances that you might rightfully criticize for being similarly inhumane, dirty, etc. And a lot of that finds its ways into global supply chains.

There's a bit of selection bias going on here. When it's batteries it's an outrage. When it's fuel you buy at the pump, you don't give it a second thought. Was it maybe some Nigerian oil or did it come from Iran, Russia, or some Canadian tar field? Did they use some Cobalt from the Congo to refine it? Most people neither know nor care. The point isn't whether there is or isn't child labor involved but that mostly people don't care enough to bother finding out.

> I wonder how likely it is that the same population will comment here to say, "I was wrong"?

Sure, people were wrong in their assumption that the murder was random. At least that's how it looks now. We haven't heard the suspects side, but....

But wrong that SF has become a dangerous and mismanaged city? Murder isn't the only violent crime and a lot of crime goes unreported. People don't feel safe walking around and you can't just dismiss that. It's their "lived experience". The fact that everyone assumed that Bob Lee was murdered randomly says something about the state of the city.

SF has a lot of issues and it has a lot of crime and other issues. It has been mismanaged for years now and things need to change.

I find it very interesting that throughout the internet, the problem of rising sea levels & climate change is seen as exclusively a Florida problem. If one thing goes wrong with Florida's weather, it is seen as abandon ship, meanwhile in California, Arizona, Tornado Alley, Texas, New York, "once in 100" year events have happened every year for the last decade...

Climate change is coming for everyone, over two billion people[1] live at sea-level. Its clear to me at this point we're all going to be impacted substantially and yet somehow people keep talking about Florida as if we "fix FLorida" and everything magically gets better. It almost seems like a scapegoat for other states climate issues.

I think the simplest answer is that aging is an accumulation of dna errors and your body reaches a point where it doesn't know what the "correct" dna was.

Some species have adapted better error correction.
Well, if that's what the research shows than the effort wasn't "wasted". Don't confuse your opinions with facts.

To me this is a better affirmation of "The Free Software Foundation is dying" than a rebuttal.

Focused on the distinctions between FS and OS, building an antagonistic narrative between them, doubling-down on purity.

I would agree "dying" is too strong a word, though, since there's no reason the FSF can't continue to exist indefinitely, as a kind of club of like-minded enthusiasts. But the direction they are going now, their activities will be ever more insular, having less and less affect on anyone but themselves.

Their stated mission is "to promote computer user freedom. We defend the rights of all software users." If you aren't having an effect outside your own group it's hard to see how that can be fulfilled.

(Not that I'm sad to see it end up this way. I've always understood how developer hostile it is.)
Thank you. There are so many sketchy things going on with Square/Block that some bad actors might be involved was never surprising to me.
That was beautifully told. Thank you for sharing
Funding doesn't have to be a conflict of interest depending on how it's organised. But Twitter's own definition of "state affiliated media" is not about funding, but about editorial control, where NPR is independent. Labeling NPR as "state affiliated" is clearly wrong according to Twitter's own definition.
> You can't fuel up your car at home in 5 minutes. You have to go to a gas station, unless you're storing 20 gallons of gas at home for some reason. If there is an evacuation, you think you'll be able to get gas at a station? I doubt it.

If you have not been in this scenario, you shouldn’t comment on what your opinion is.
According to the car, the stability control system wasn't working. Cause? Obviously a broken fuel injector. The stability control system talks to the engine ECU to control the torque if there is a lack of traction - it is notified of this by the ABS computer. Broken Injector=No ability to manage torque, hence traction control warning. Sitting here now, that makes perfect sense. In horizontal Scottish rain - less so!
>No need to panic, like the Luddites, yet.

NED LUDD DID NOTHING WRONG

No, seriously, the Luddites weren't angry because tech would put them out of business. They were angry because they hadn't gotten to buy looms for themselves yet. The Luddites were the prototype of a union, and smashing machines was a tactic used to get business owners to the table for labor negotiations. One that was responded to with propaganda and the force of law.

Let's consider two possible worlds:

- The one in which artists have a fancy new tool to play with to produce better art

- The one in which publishers fire all artists so they can use the tool for themselves

So far we appear to be hurtling down the second path. I can point to artists that are using art generators as tools to improve their work, but almost all of the hype and discourse surrounding generative AI has been "finally we can fire all the artists and just have the art make itself." I think this is a wrong-headed move long-term[0], but so long as business people believe artists to be replaceable, they will be replaced.

Furthermore, this has wealth-concentrating effects. Directly, this is a transfer of wealth from regular artists to the few that get to stick around to bang on the machine when it breaks. Indirectly, this is a transfer of wealth away from both artists and publishers to the companies who are making the AI art generators. In the past few years, AI research has gone from open scientific collaboration to extremely closed-off data siphoning operations. OpenAI in particular reorganized itself into a "capped profit corporation" after Elon Musk stopped writing checks, and started closing things off in the name of safety[1].

The time to panic is right now, even if AGI is decades or centuries off, so that precedents are established as to who owns and benefits from that technology. Let me explain by analogy: did Richard Stallman know and understand in the 1980s that proprietary software would lead to a handful of tech companies owning everything and renting it back out to you on subscription? No. But he did understand very well and very early on that proprietary software was an abusive relationship. Likewise, I can see that the relationship we are already moving into with AI is similarly abusive, even if we don't have AGI yet. A world in which AGI displaces humans entirely is a terribly unjust, illiberal world that does not deserve to exist. We either ride into the Singularity along with AGI, or we do not build AGI at all.

[0] While AI art is startlingly good at drawing novel images in response to prompts, fine control and consistency of those images requires manual intervention and fine-tuning. Effective prompt writing also requires an intricate knowledge of artistic history and terminology. Furthermore, there's a whole capability of art generators called inpainting that is criminally underused because you need to have basic art knowledge in order to use it effectively.

[1] To be clear, AI does have safety risks that are playing themselves out right now. The problem is that those risks have been used to justify turning everything into the worst kind of abusive SaaS.

I've been using ChatGPT 4 the past couple weeks and also Phind just last night with a new library version. While yes, i did find that Phind was wrong a lot (though i don't think it was fully hallucinations, just wrong library version combinations), i think there's a more important point to be made.

Unless we get a very near breakthrough on self-validating accuracy of these models or models+plugin combinations, i suspect it may be a useful skill to learn to use LLMs to explore ideas even when hallucination is a risk.

Ie searching with Google is a skill we have to acquire. Validating results from Google is yet another skill. Likewise i feel it could be very useful to find a way to use LLMs in a way where you get the benefits while managing to mitigate the risk.

For me these days that usually translates to low risk environments. Things i can validate easily. ChatGPT was a good starting off point for researching ideas. It's also very useful to know how niche your subject matter is. The less results you find on Google for your specific edge case the more likely ChatGPT will struggle to have real or complete thoughts on the matter.

Likewise i imagine similarly this is true for Phind. Yea, it can search the web, but as my tests last night showed it still happily strings together incorrect data. Old library versions, notably. I'd say "Given Library 1.15, how do i do X?". It did eventually give me the right answer, but it happily wrote up coding examples that were a mix of library versions.

I imagine Phind will, to me, be similarly useful (if not more?) than ChatGPT, but you really have to be aware of what it might do wrong. .. because it will, heh.

US Urges Social Media to Not Share Leaked Docs in Damage Control
The physical construction of the Carnegie Library in my town is really top notch. It is large-block sandstone masonry exterior with a copper roof and granite floor tiles. Construction designed to last several centuries at least. The larger and much less comely library next door was built in the 80s and just got a new roof and lots of renovations, I believe the Carnegie one is still on the first roof after 100 years.
Also solving aging leads to a necessary choice. Mass famine and civilization collapse, or draconian population control. That will get messy fast, and I can see us choosing the former because of people deluding themselves into thinking such a choice need not be made at all.
I don't think it would be an upgrade at this point yet. Bard / LLM lacks precision in ways that are pretty important when carrying out the user's wishes.
> Americans can't compete on price, and so they stopped trying.

I think Americans could probably but most American companies are just finance companies with some product attached to it. Trucks, for example, have been pushed by American car companies because they can skirt emissions laws through more lax regulations, instead of trying to build a proper less polluting car under these regulations these companies prefer to skirt them, convince consumers through deceptive marketing that "trucks are safer for your family"-type of shenanigans to make a quick buck rather than compete.

It's sad to see it happening, instead of "innovation" American companies prefer to use deception on a market because it's cheaper. It's just being cheap under the auspices of bean counters...
