Consider that without modern efficiency gains there would be significantly fewer people alive today, and that you might not be in the “extra” portion that we do have now. Is that a fair trade off? If we dropped all further advancements in the name of tradition I’d say that’s equivalent to giving up as a species.
Sure, it's not as good as a human rep, but it's still better than the dumb chatbots we are forced to interact with now. May be better than searching a poorly updated knowledgebase too.
In Italian these specific fruits are not "limoni" they are "cedri", but in latin there is citrus (as the name of the plant/tree) and citreum (as the name of the fruit) that means lemon so it is not strange that the French has citron that seems not Germanic at all.

It is not clear at all whether what the Romans had were limoni, cedri or lime/limette, or all of them and whether they were only imported or actually cultivated locally.

The lemon/limone etc. come from Arabic/Eastern languages and has evidently been "imported" in most romance languages.

The scientific name of the lemon, "Citrus limon" settles it:

I've completely stopped wearing cotton. Everything I wear is now polyester and elastane. Socks, underwear, trousers, boots, t-shirts, mid-layers, jackets, hats - all of it. I know this has it's own issues with micro plastics but the clothes are way comfier, take up less space, are less prone to stains, are quicker to dry, hold heat when wet and are more durable to boot. Personally I think it's the way forward.
This makes sense to me. I came from the service industry to tech. I tripled my income in a couple years and was very satisfied. Then a coworker got a promotion that I felt I deserved, and started making more than me. This coworker came from a different background and had always been "ahead" of me financially. But suddenly, there was a very tangible gap between us. It could have been me, I thought. I could have that so easily. And I was not satisfied with my pay. I found a new job. (I no longer care that much. I know that wages are essentially more unfair than fair.)
What do "respect nature" mean? Nature is wild, brutal and full of grey areas and it doesn't care what we do tbh.
It's not exactly what you're talking about but there's a post degree completion extension for F-1 visas, and extension for that for masters/doctoral students that can extend the visa (iirc) for up to three years and allow one to work. I've known several people that transitioned from their F-1 OTP to H1-B. I've even known people who sought out masters programs to extend their student visa just to avoid returning to their home country due to political turmoil and violence.

But that said, you would make it more difficult for American citizens to attend American graduate degree programs that they subsidize with their taxes. There's a finite number of seats for students and I'm not sure if they're better filled with locals or people who want guaranteed permanent residency.

Whoa, I stand at my desk, so no chair, but I think I have the an issue with a similar cause.

I have a cordless phone charger where plugging it in sometimes causes my screen to blink black. Since I only unplug/plug it when rearranging cabling, I've never bothered to investigate further.
I did state "text", which is the thing that carries the bulk of the knowledge, diagrams notwithstanding.

In most cases, the media isn't adding much value. Do I need to see half a dozen photos of a public figure just because I want to see their filmography? Nope. That's a management issue.

Equally, why can't the media be fetched on-demand P2P? It seems absurd that people commonly use apps for everything but Wikipedia. Only 50m downloads on Play Store.

In isolation, the statement about the market crashing at the time of Obama's election is about as meaningful as to mention the fact that the election happened on a Tuesday. To make sense of it, the reader has to assume there is some point being made.

Maybe what is being implied is that the election result caused the crash, on the other hand it could go on to say that the financial crisis was the result of the previous administration's failings and how Obama did a good job in handling it.

Is it software, or more specifically a SaaS? In that case you might be out of luck, since most parts of the world don't recognize patents on software, apart from the US of course.

When your backend is server-side and doing something non-trivial, there is no copying without starting from scratch. Plus it's inner workings might be covered as trade secrets.

Generally, there is little to no value in ideas. Execution is what matters. Big players move slow, so that shouldn't be your biggest worry.

> a private company just isn't going to invest the time and energy needed to train an apprentice

not as long as they can force people to pay for it themselves and have the government and the tax payers subsidize it.

universities were never meant to be vocational schools though, and they do a horrible job at it.

to take computer science as an example: a 4 years bachelor degree only has about 500 hours of classroom instruction in comp sci subjects.

a 9-5 vocational training program can provide 480 hours of classroom instruction in 3 months.

the idea that students benefit by going to a university where they only spend a few hours a day learning and the rest of the time playing games, socializing, drinking and doing drugs, is absurd.

put people in a 9-5 40 hour a week program that has the same attendance and performance requirements as the job they are training for and they can be trained to the level of any bachelors degree in 3-6 months.

It is, but a $20 lunch should be considered an occasion or treat and not a daily driver. Just because it's not a daily driver doesn't make it trivial.

If most people eat lunch out once a week for $20 - that's about $1000/yr. That's trivial for most people if it's part of their social/entertainment expenses (eg even making $30-40k), but it's okay that it might not be trivial for all people.

I'm not sure that this is true.

I mean, it might be in the sense that the technology for cultivating yeast could be applied to human organs.

But to my knowledge there's not much going on in lab-grown meat that could be applied to producing functioning organ tissue, let alone building the full organ in all its parts and making it compatible with the host.
>Care to elaborate what you mean?

My non-American interpretation of the use of fascism in this sense is relating to:

- taking away rights (e.g. abortion, and please don't argue technicalities)

- banning medical intervention which provably increases quality of life and decreases likelihood of self-harm

- suppressing dissident literature (e.g. recent "temporary" bans of books on Rosa Parks)

- lowering the threshold of the death penalty

- trying to introduce the death penalty for more things, especially what they call "grooming"

- associating entire groups of minorities with this idea of "grooming"

- aggressively suppressing and trying to exclude dissident politicians (e.g. the "Tennessee Three" or currently Zooey Zephyr)

- attempting to overthrow an election by both casting doubt in bad faith and literally working out plans on how to use a coup to take over power

Its annoyingly dry in my apartment usually and have had this happen with a different chair.

Unfortunately, I just have a feeling this would destroy our relationship. Maybe that is an indication of a weak relationship, I'm not sure. We've been together for 10 years.

EDIT:

I should clarify after reading up in more detail on what a "Hall Pass" is.

My wife and I could talk in pure hypotheticals about romance with famous people. That is fine. But actually pursuing it is a different story.

I think the idea of pursuing other romantic options is, of course, really exciting and motivating... but I'm interested in options that don't destroy my relationship which I have worked hard to maintain, and value immensely.
Where did I say or imply that it was good? What the AI-content-apocalypse Chicken Littles seem to constantly miss is that the incentive structure of the public web for the last 20+ years has rewarded trash content, so the public web is an SEO-driven garbage heap. The cost to produce trash content is already effectively zero, and AI will neither reverse nor repair that fact unless the underlying incentive structure changes.
Many people overlook the implications of choices. I realized this when I purchased the Just Eggs. I don't purchase 1 or 2 bottle per months, but it is good to have.
The question is if you can defend your patent. Larger player will sue you as long as you run out of money to defend yourself.
Definitely worth keeping in mind the business needs. I'm not going after "well designed security that meets the business needs". I'm calling out lazy security that cuts corners because doing it well takes time and effort.

That being said, there is also a real, significant business cost to leaking sensitive information. If users are frequently waiting for access or unable to discover data, that's a failure in understanding the users needs and/or failing to test those needs in UAT during implementation. Convenience should never trump security, in this context.

Your existence, and mine, is intrinsically harmful to the world. But you have the opportunity to also do good, to heal systems. What you can do with your time, money, and energy is to shift the balance more toward healing than harm.

I'll ignore the rudeness and respond to the substance- they are not making their home livable, it's in a warzone, it'll still be unlivable but with electricity. And that is not at no cost- they are creating an extremely dangerous situation that could be deadly to people and animals. I might be persuadable if they were the only people who could be hurt by what they're doing but it's a danger to the public. It's not about the formula, it's about the fact that they don't know enough to appreciate the danger of what they're doing.
True, but that in turn was named after Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space. And its mascot "Glenda" is a reference to another of Wood's movies, Glen or Glenda.
Haha, I forget sometimes that I’ve totally normalized growing greens and other people associate it with cannabis.

I hear this complaint often, especially in regards to gun control. Yes, there are a subset of people who do what they are going to do irrespective of laws. There is also a middle ground of people where the laws might curtail unwanted behavior. But the main purpose is it provides a basis for punishing unwanted behavior.

To make it concrete, one could argue that bank robbers rob banks even though it is illegal, so why have a law against it since law abiding people aren't going to rob banks. Does anyone really think we should remove such laws?

This is a great article I can't wait to dig into (and the comments here) as soon as I can unshift my brain from the gear it's in.

One thing I noticed is the author doesn't compare against linear search for reference. I am personally very curious at what container size either lower_bound or branchless_lower_bound start to outperform a linear scan on modern hardware with modern L1 cache sizes etc.

In the thing I've been playing with -- very unscientifically with a vector of up to 16 sorted u8s:

On x86_64, an SSE optimized vector scan like this: https://github.com/armon/libart/blob/master/src/art.c#L426 is slightly faster than linear scan, which is in turn slighty faster than binary search (the latter two are very close)

However on M1 Mac, simple binary search outperforms a NEON SIMD optimized search which in turn is basically tied with linear scan. Sometimes. The NEON algorithm is trickier than the SSE because NEON lacks an equivalent of SSE's _mm_movemask_epi8
I'm not sure what we're supposed to be taking away from your post.

There's been an insane lifestyle inflation amongst Millenials and Gen Zs. If people model their day-to-day after some social media influencers and that causes them to be financially irresponsible, then why is this news?

Financial literacy isn't hard if you are actually inclined to learn it. All the information and budgeting apps is out there, free, just a few keystrokes away.

250K is higher than average (and median) income in every single area of this country, including places like LA/SV and Manhattan. It's ok to not feel sorry for these people. They'll do just fine, regardless of what they answer in some survey.
The advice is generally that (1) ideas are worthless until they are well-implemented (and even then, might be worthless); (2) if your idea is truly so easily-copyable, then it's probably not an idea worth trying to protect; and (3) your time is MUCH better spent actually building it and getting users than worrying about this stuff.

You unique ability to translate the idea into a product that people love, and deliver a service that wow's them, is far more valuable than the idea itself.

Of course there are caveats for things that are truly hard innovations, but from the sounds of things here you're more worried about UI (will always be easily copyable, no protection possible) and back-end (which doesn't matter unless it's some completely novel and order-of-magnitude improvement thing, in which case THAT's the true interesting part of your idea).

From my little knowledge of Loki's internals. I think contrary to Loki, Quickwit uses a fully feature search engine library underneath called Tantivy (https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy).
Quickwit offers different services (indexer, searcher, ..) that can be ran and scaled independently. It also supports indexing from various sources including file, Rest API, Kafka, Pulsar, Kinesis and more are planned based on community interest.
Last but not least, Elasticsearch query API support is being worked on.

It might be better than most reps considering not infrequently, the big corps hire the cheapest labour and quality of English is a major problem in my experiences. Especially if all the rep does is query something in a knowledgebase.

I disagree very strongly over the knowledgebase being inferior to the LLM data set.

The data sets of LLMs are not stored in a human-readable format. The data sets of LLMs are likely a worse means of storing data because the outputs are prone to hallucination, and if an output can only be rendered via an LLM itself, well, therein lies your problem. You can't trust that it's right and not hallucinating if you can't read the data it is using.

> Why out-perform? Wouldn't it be reasonable to have similarly or slightly worse performing system in exchange for using drastically less energy and degrading natural resources less?

Sorry, you mentioned regenerative systems as out-performing conventional.

I'm not aware of a widespread regenerative system that even has similar or slightly worse yield. For operations at any kind of scale I've generally heard 30%-40% less yield from regenerative. In a low-margin high competition business like farming that's the difference between profit and bankruptcy.

Again, if you've links to highly productive _widely deployed_ regenerative systems please post them.

As I've said in another comment Mark Shepard's work is very interesting, but it's an isolated case, a prototype. The trick is replicating it widely - it remains to be seen if that can be done.
