Today I looked up pgvector's NixOS availability. For the past 15 years I have relied on postgis source being available and improved by the community for my day to day business.

My point is that the option to modify the source results in software bein available and community maintained in a way that binary only isn't. Even if I change the source myself just twice a decade.
There was no epistemology in this article.
I wonder what type of CEO committees green-lights these projects. We gonna buy a project, and then make it kill itself. One obviously can be detached from the fiscal realities so much, that company buzzword policy and virtue signaling are more worth in the context of career survival. Was there ever somebody fired for the tumbler fiasco?
Yep, we're definitely interested in this here at Phind.com :)
There was a period in late 2020 where I was convinced Clubhouse would leapfrog Twitter as the place where valuable industry-facing conversation and information would be housed.
Interesting thank you!

I remember back when it came out it was a big deal that it could easily scale master-master nodes and the object format was a big thing because of Mongo back then.

That was before k8's wasn't a thing back then, and most of the failover for other databases wasn't a thing just yet. I'm too scared to use it because they have a community but they're obviously nowhere as active as the Postgres and other communities.
Surprisingly good. I tried "what is a monad" and got reasonable results. Searching my own name resulted in socials instead of my personal website, but that seems reasonable since my personal website isn't super popular. I guess I'll have to try it out for a few days or even weeks to really know, but a completely new search engine would be amazing.
Also, these things are not secret for a very long time and eventually other people figure out (completely independently or maybe even influenced by some google's ex-employee). Then, they wouldn't even be able to say they invented it.
The types themselves count as assignable since the values can be compatible and unless the compiler can tell statically a value is out of range it wont complain at compile time (but will at runtime if range checking is enabled).

However using the ranges for arrays is not compatible, if you have a A: array [R1] of Double and a B: array [R2] of Double you can't assign one to the other.
There are two matching results for it on the first page.
The headline is not incorrect.

"Multiple Google Cloud services in the europe-west9 region are impacted.

Description: Water intrusion in europe-west9-a has caused a multi-cluster failure and has led to an emergency shutdown of multiple zones. We expect general unavailability of the europe-west9 region. There is no current ETA for recovery of operations in the europe-west9 region at this time, but it is expected to be an extended outage"

Emergency shutdown of multiple zones.

As of a few hours ago they changed the status to report just on us-west9-a.
This is not true. From the day that the iPad was introduced, you have always been able to sell separate iPad versions of an app then iPhone versions.
You are probably referring to the various chapters on "Future Condition Of Three Races In The United States."

These chapters are basically an extended critique of the evils of chattel slavery and of the American policy against the natives. He does indeed say that

"As soon as it is admitted that the whites and the emancipated blacks are placed upon the same territory in the situation of two alien communities, it will readily be understood that there are but two alternatives for the future; the negroes and the whites must either wholly part or wholly mingle."

Why? Because blacks have been so oppressed and there are so many of them in the south, that it would be impossible for them to live together with their former oppressors after being liberated, both would fear and hate the other. And what does he mean by wholly mingle? He is advocating mixed race marriages, something that wasn't legal everywhere in the U.S. until the Supreme Court forced it to be in the 1960s.

There are surely lots of passages in the book that 'read' as racist by modern standards, but by 1830s U.S. standards, Tocqueville was very progressive.
the military computers I've seen are typically from Dell, an american company. Manuafacturing is probably foreign, though.

A phone and a tablet are just wildly different devices. Screen size —sure— but also usage patterns, input methods, workflow conventions, etc.

The “mutationes” that must be made reach deep into the functionality of an app, not just UI-level stuff. The whole purpose of the app should probably change. It’s therefore a big and challenging job to make an app scale seamlessly from one device to another. That’s irreducible complexity. The tools available will always be at best “necessary but not sufficient”.

> No one's memory is perfect after nearly 40 years.

Indeed! Which is one of the reasons why we should question her accusation! How can we be sure she even accurately remembers who committed the assault? It might very well have been that she was assaulted, but by someone else. It could also be that it was Kavanaugh, but the interaction played out differently that she remembers.

> What witnesses do you expect? The direct witnesses would have been implicating themselves. There were witnesses and evidence that showed she talked about these accusations years before Kavanaugh's nomination.

She named witnesses to the actual event (or at least the party at which it took place) and none of them corroborated her story. They wouldn't have even been implicating themselves in the assault.

As I recall, she did talk about the incident years after it happened (long enough for details to have become muddled) but as I recall she didn't name Kavanaugh until after his nomination.

> A teenage not documenting their illicit behavior is a rather weak argument that they never participated in said illicit behavior.

Kavanaugh kept a fairly detailed social calendar. In conjunction with the fact that none of the other supposed attendees to this party remembers it happening, significantly undermines credibility of the accusation.
I've been living in europe for the last couple of decades, and it's obviously been an even longer time since I read Democracy in America in american school, but the local culture seems a much better fit to what de Tocqueville was lauding (spontaneous self-organisation, etc). Was he just projecting? Or have the continents switched cultural places in the intervening centuries? (especially after Suez?)
I actually really like this. As long as you’re enjoying yourself I think that’s fine. And when you do (if you ever) feel the incoming burnout you can simply stop.

I feel like coding is the perfect thing to get addicted to because there’s a material result at the end. Unlike reading books or dining out with coding there’s a public record of all that you’ve done, plus it’s useful to the world, plus it’s a self promotion tool to show that you’re a capable programmer.
Agree to disagree. Submitter was smart enough to measure resistance in their chosen wire, and understand the rough ideas of current limits: that's a hacker in my book.

"Here are the things I know" + "Here are the things I know I don't know" + "Can you help me?"

I'm sure there's a ton they don't know they don't know (stranded vs solid core AWG equivalency), but this is a pretty simple use case -- running power a relatively short distance in a temporary install.

The worst that can happen is they or someone on the street short across their heart and dies. Which would not only require shocking yourself, but doing so in a pretty specific orientation.

But they're already in a warzone! That risk is lower than their base level of environmental lethality.
A lot of stereotyping of conservatives here . Personally I think having to choice to take or not take it is perfectly acceptable.
I'd say it's on the other end. users can't find the apps which are properly designed for tablets, and get tired of wading through crap to find them. the tips are totally there, but if you search for, eg, python, you can be sure the iPadOS app is decent and designed for ipad, vs you have no idea if the Android app is actually pleasing on tablet.

That developers have the tools and can or cannot use the tools is secondary to that, imo.

The problem is that valuable industry conversation and information isn't all that valuable.

I have one app that doesn’t have an iPhone equivalent - Duet.

But a developer can sell separate iPad versions of an app. Most don’t anymore.
$10M/ year seems unusually high, even for med schools - are you sure those are annualized costs? Perhaps it's because I'm familiar with the more basic science (non clinical trial) parts of NIH, but a typical R01 is $250K-$500K/ year in direct costs so that would imply having to hold ~15 of them (with overheard) to reach $10M/year.

It seems like $10M in total value of active grants in a given year (~5 R01s) might be more typical (though the standard for tenure I've heard of in med schools is maybe ~2-3 R01s, so 5 would make you top tier and highly sought after).

For clarity, when I'm referring to $1M/year in annual funding, that's coming from ~6-7 active grants whose total value might be in the $5M range total.

Given the advances in Steam/Proton along with PopOS and Linux UI support in general and that most people have moved on from being tethered to most applications outside the browser... It seems like it could be a good time for many to make such a switch.

I understand that the individual AI generated elements can’t be copyrighted, but in this case the final product is a huge amount more than that. It’s a collage of such elements, plus cropping, filtering, colour grading, composition in the page and overlay with speech bubbles and such. It seems to me that the end result should be copyrightable.

Then the fact the original elements aren’t covered isn’t a problem. You just delete them.

Other way around. Google Cloud runs on the same underlying datacenter, compute, and network infrastructure that Search/Drive/Gmail does.

[edit: at least in regions where Google HAS its own datacenters, e.g. "us-central-1? yes. europe-west9? maybe not"].

That does not imply that Search / Drive / Gmail runs on top of Google Cloud.
I’m guessing that the copyright equivalent is whether the editor of someone else’s photograph or the director of a photo shoot should have copyright privileges. The answer is pretty clearly not.

It’s not that she didn’t do (a lot) of work, but that the creation of the underlying work happened by AI. If it were human then it would hold the copyright, but it’s not so it doesn’t. The logical misstep is thinking, “because it can’t have copyright, someone else can.”
Defaults are hard to change because it makes upgrading even scarier

Nice stuff. But hard to find good application in my environment for it. I mostly re-work old designs or use reference designs with particular chips (that the company has in stock at the moment). Maybe somebody could greatly benefit without the limitations I have at work.
The short version is for me is, programming a GPU via a GPU API is like programming Assembly Language. If you want easy you use a higher level language like Python. Python is "usually" slower than assembly language but you can read a file, add up all the numbers in it, and print out the answer in 1 line of code where as in assembly here's lots of setup to read files, buffer their input, parse them into numbers, etc.

Maybe you want Use.GPU

Even the article linked mentions that Google initially reported that only zone A was affected, then got changed to report that the whole region was affected, now it changed to a single zone again.

Honestly, this is much easier in Geometric Algebra. You can operate in rotor space directly, in an analogous way to complex phase.

Not always, but the most languages I have used professionally were my choices.

That means x86, assembly, C, C++, C#, Python and half of Javascript. For Javascript I mean half because I enjoyed doing simple things in JS on front-end long time ago, but these days I kind of dislike JS frameworks and I've learned them because I had to after I signed some contracts. I could have stayed 100% with backend work, but now is too late to complain.

I managed to steer clear of Perl, Objective C, Cobol and other languages I don't enjoy. I managed to learn F# and some Ocaml which I would like to use but never got the chance (personal projects excluded).
Something's wrong here. I was very excited to explore this, until I searched for "Getting Things Done" by David Allen. A nearby book - "Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again" by Donald J. Trump.
I wasn't making a personal recommendation to you? I was answering more broadly why someone would use Pinecone in the future.

Every new software company like this has "why wouldn't everyone just use x existing open source project, why even try to make it a real business with a hundred devs, actual support/marketing, and big ambitions to be more than a plugin to Postgres?"

Based on the videos and interviews with their lead dev I've seen Pinecone has some quite large plans by integrating with a wider stack and integrating with company databases, well beyond what they have done so far releasing an early version of the DB.

Regardless, getting wider adoption via actual businesses investing in marketing/sales to seed ideas in the market can spur development and potentially progress/innovate the tooling across the wider market, that feeds back into open source.
THIS!! A high-quality cross-platform GUI toolkit that can be built using Delphi's RAD designer would be a huge hit in the market, IMHO. There is literally nothing that does this now.
Datomic is an event-sourced db, and it makes it hard to introduce retroactive corrections to the data when your program's semantic already rely on using datomic's time travelling abilities: at one point you'll need to to distinguish between event time and recording time as explained in this excellent blog post:

https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/2018-11-12-datomic-even...

This is why I' rather use XTDB [1], a database similar to datomic in spirit, but with bitemporality baked in.

Everything about Voyager is just mind-blowing. These are 45 year old electronic devices, using 70's tech, with zero maintenance, operating 22 light hours away.

At that range they can still send messages detectable on earth. 9 out of 10 instruments are still working. People just leaving school when they launched are already retired.

This is one time when the adage "they don't make them like they used to" is well applied.

Hat tip to all involved.
The flux docs indicate that you're using a custom-trained LLM and in another comment it was mentioned you're using LangChain (to integrate non-deterministic tooling perhaps). Just curious, but are you using some combination of your own model, GPT3/4, and calculators / datasheet readers / etc?
Why is that a problem? If you don't want the model to access your doors you disable it at the API level. Siri already has an option for that today.

In theory each of the things I care about could be covered by different laws or regulations. However they aren't. The only tool I have for that is copyright. If you find a route to getting those alternative methods established I'm all ears but as it stands such a route does not exist. Copyright is what you have so copyright is what you have to use.

Have you reevaluated the decision not to implement much by way of basic interface features like symbol and footprint editors for such a long time? It's a real barrier to even playing around with the software. I want to see you succeed, and my experience in the EDA industry and as an electrical engineer is making me wonder about that approach.

It makes sense if you're just shopping it around to the EDA incumbents since they'd have you redesign those parts anyway, but the fact that you currently offer a paid subscription to users makes me think that either you've underestimated or I've overestimated the importance of having those features by now. I guess that could also make sense if you want a more manageable user base for now.

Kashtanova received a copyright in September, and declared on social media that it meant artists were entitled to legal protection for their AI art projects.

Came here to post something similar. I just got a Bolt EUV, which does 0-60 in 7 seconds, plenty fast enough to get me in trouble. I'd pay $90 to have a month of driving 0-60 in 3 or 4 seconds to impress my in-laws.

After that, experienced EV drivers tell me that using all that torque eats tires. One said he had to replace the factory tires after 20,000 miles, even with rotating them twice.

What makes this a hard sell for manufacturers: no badges on the outside saying this is an M class or performance or whatever. Maybe they have to add outside screens on the car to show the extra-cost options currently active.

R01s are too small to be worth applying for, typically. Or rather, most PIs have an R01 that pays for themselves and maybe some travel and publication feeds. Most of these people end up making center grants or finding other mechanisms (like non-NIH funding, such as CZI).

There's no way I personally would have been able to manage 5-6 active R01s a year; but then, when I did grant review, I noticed that other folks did a lot of copy/pasting and exagerating about their publications significance, which is not something I was willing to do.

You mean in not caving to conservative-friendly "free speech" preferences? Its decision to downrank state-sponsored disinformation?

One can question the wisdom of these decisions - but ultimately it's a matter of editorial control, not censorship.
Given the recent bait and switch moves by many companies from free-for-everyone open source to free-for-users-only (eg apache to agpl), it seems like doing this with "binaries only" practically admits to a bait and switch plan.
