Another benefit is salespeople can often be helpful with things like this, especially if you convince them that you plan on upgrading your account but you need your account to get fixed ASAP.
> Unfortunately, I have to take this with a grain of salt, because this study wouldn’t have been published if it had found the opposite.

This is pretty declarative and indicates a certainty on your part. Unfortunately, it is presented without the evidence that led to your certainty.

> Could there be opposite-conclusion studies that were quashed?

This sounds like a bias generated, leading question. However, nuance in text can be tricky.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, what did you see with this study that leads you to ask this?
I didn't post this, but I coincidentally tried testing numerous open source vector databases during the last week, including building them from source, testing them for my use case, etc. For my needs, and thinking longterm, I think Qdrant is the best option. Their docs are clear and it was easy to build from source using Rust (it takes about 30 minutes, but it just works) and the binaries are relatively small and portable. It was also easy to build the latest dev version, which has built in authentication (due to a bounty claimed two weeks ago). There's a new official Javascript client (for use from nodejs), which builds on "openapi" and seems to work well, if you're using nodejs as a client instead of Python.

My overall impression of Qdrant is that it's clean and uncluttered compared to other options, development is very open, and the devs are technically very capable. The docs are clear and to the point, without a bunch of extra nonsense getting in the way. It's also easy to try out for free via their hosted cloud.
I don't think you need to be a "culture warrior" to realize that the headline "Study finds male astronauts more efficient, suggesting future space missions with all-male crews" would be considerably more controversial, and any author with half a brain would think carefully before publishing it.

Glancing at the paper the basics sound about right to me, but since the exact opposite conclusion would be far less tolerable and less likely to be authored and published, one can't help wonder what factors weren't considered for example.

If this happens to align with "culture-war rhetoric" from people I have no control over or relationship with so be it.

My source was an episode of Hardcore History. I believe the population estimate he gives is 6 million (which would make sense if there were 3 million men) with 2 million deaths and two million slaves.

I'll give it a re-listen to see if I can find the source he was quoting from, but if anyone's heard the episode, it's the part where he's explaining why it's sometimes called the "Celtic Holocaust".

I would love to see a small, maybe opinionated list of science books, each, in one volume, giving a full overview of the field in an approachable way, like:

It would be a nice collection and a chance to at least get a general overview over all of science, and discover just how patchy my knowledge really is :)

Further to the de jure standardization related to consumer safety laws and civil cases, the insurance industry has created a de facto standardization by refusing to cover or pay out if non-standard electric plugs and receptacles are or were used.
1. Remote work technology, like multiple screens, cameras, mics, speakers, the simulate being at the office. (Not VR goggles).

4. AI technology that fact checks every social media post.
Even if they did, it wouldn't matter unless they have what under most policies is considered "comprehensive coverage" (aka comp). Unless you buy a better policy, most jurisdictions only require you to have a collision/liability policy... where if you hit someone, the insurance company pays for the damages.

If someone hits your car while it is parked, your insurance company would only be involved if the driver doesn't have insurance. And even then, ONLY if you have a policy which covers it. If it's a hit-and-run, and you don't have comp, you will be out of luck. (This happened to us once...)
I agree -- I listened to a 2022 podcast interview with the cofounder of Pinecone and he seems very dismissive of what open source can bring to vector database. I found that annoying and off putting. The open source vector database ecosystem is really impressive right now!
The middle ground is that once the tech becomes the actual problem, it might be time to investigate possibilities, until then, customers don't care, business people doesn't care and the bottom line doesn't care. There are not that many companies in the world where the tech stack is their competitive advantage.

> I doubt there is many devs that want to work on Angular 2 these days.

From my experience, a product that makes money and is able to pay people at market rates, will find said people. Not everyone is an EMACS wielding, Linux wizard that refuses to touch tech out of idealistic concerns.

The problem, in my experience, is more often lack of PMF than tech stack (I've seen customers give insane leeway to actually valuable products).
I didn't know that certain compilers (though not all) will error in that situation. I'm sorry. You will only have fun unexpected behaviors on some compilers.

AMD Says AI Is the Number One Priority
Reading the article, it is unclear if they are comparing similar workloads. The article seems more focus on similar goals.

There are likely interesting differences based on density and base body functions that scale in non-linear ways. I expect however that all those would be minor gains compared to exertion rate, especially when it comes to oxygen consumption. If we use diving again as an example, a person just floating still will be using less than half the oxygen compared to a person swimming against a mild current. Heavy work can easily go past 4x or higher compared to the oxygen consumption of a person in rest, which is a major problem for rebreather divers who are limited by their equipment in term of scrubbing co2 (for every 1x of oxygen consumed, 0.9x of co2 is produced).

Not sure what you mean by over-eager. Patients are only intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation when they will die otherwise. There is a step wise increase in ventilatory support in these cases, starting at a nasal cannula, then increasing to face mask, then a positive pressure (CPAP) mask, and then if they are still hypoxic or hypercarbic - intubation is the next step.
I have the opposite concern. The great thing about Yubikeys and other FIDO U2F/FIDO2 keys is they can't be cloned. With Passkeys living on your iOS or Android phone, they are only one successful Pegasus exploit away from being compromised.

What is essential is the ability to have multiple credentials associated with an account. Possibly so you have redundant Yubikeys, but also to have an Apple and a Google passkey so you are not locked out if your phone is lost (thanks to Apple's brain-dead decision to allow phone + passcode to reset the recovery key) or if Google decides to close your account on a whim.

Yes, and I’m sure after you set things up with “no vendor lock in”, you came back years later when the company grew and organized a large migration where you had to deal with budgets, transferring data, regression testing, going through architecture review boards, the PMO, permissions, compliance, training, etc.

I’m also sure after many years no vendor specific corner cases snuck in that you didn’t realize were there

C major is only easy conceptually, technically other scales are easier, such as B major.

In guitar transposition is easy conceptually, but not so much technically, not being able to rely on open strings as much is a big limiter to novice guitarists. And guitar being such a popular instrument, there's a lot of those.

On average technical limitations will dictate keys more than conceptual limitations.
Subtle art of not giving a fuck is a mass market book of questionable value, but it has one chapter with a core truth for the human experience.

The chapter was on the dichotomy of blame and responsibility. You can choose a strategy of blame or a strategy of responsibility for the problems in your life, but only one of them is going to be productive. Blame can help soothe you, but blame is just emotional masturbation. Responsibility is painful, but taking responsibility is the only way to make progress.

My dad deserves blame for a neglectful childhood. He deserves blame for a lot of the experience of depression I have had in my life. He deserves blame for his complete lack of empathy. No amount of blame is going to modify my condition. No amount of blame is going to fill the holes on my life. The only way I will feel better is taking responsibility and being accountable to myself for my own emotions. I can't change the past, but I can change how I act now.

I think psychologists use the idea of locus of control. Does the world happen to you, or do you happen to the world? If life happens to you and you are purely a victim of circumstance, it's hard to imagine putting in work to improve the conditions of your life if you don't have a lot of control over it. Even though you often can't control what happens to you, you can control/influence how you react, and through that it's possible to imagine improving your situation.

Just like you would probably struggle with math if you never learned math as a kid, you would probably struggle with emotional regulation if you never learned emotional regulation as a kid. If a kid doesn't know algebra by college, that's not the kids fault, that is a failure of their education or their parents, the kid doesn't know math is important to their future or that math is missing from their education.

Is recommending "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins as a "best book on Quantum Theory" good enough for your taste?

Anyway, any list of "The best books on X, recommended by Some Noname" almost by definition is not going to be very reliable, so that's all I can say. Just another bullshit website to earn commission via Amazon referral links by recommending random bullshit to innocent victims. I recon it might have been more useful if it was entirely generated by ChatGPT.
Weaviate is part of the Go ecosystem and has more built around it, e.g., you can configure it so that it will automatically call openai to do vector embeddings for you. Qdrant is part of the Rust ecosystem, and is more focused on the core problem of being a highly efficient (both in time and space) scalable vector database, but with extensive highly integrated support for queries that combine a vector with a query about the payload (basically a JSON object). They both seem like really amazing projects to me. Both are very liberally licensed open source and have a complementary cloud hosted option.

Which is better for you might come down to Go versus Rust, and also whether you want something that feels more like a complete solution (Weaviate), or something that is more focused (Qdrant).

In the age of Github/Gitlab, federated database systems & search, plus social media, and many other advances... we need to move off the old model of publishing research. I offer to the HN community that modern research 'publishing' should include:

- providing all raw data

- provided a timestamped electronic lab notebook that documented what you and when you did it... if applicable.

- working code for your data analysis and all figures/graphs.

- a write up of your work that can be commented on by the public (questions, critique, supporting information, etc.). Markdown or Latex rendered online would be great. The ability to continue updating the same 'publication' in place with new information would be really helpful; for one, this would make review articles much more useful over a longer duration [ if they were maintained regularly].

- supporting pictures, video, audio. e.g. a video walk-through of your experimental setup.

- a means for other folks in the field of study to endorse or critique your work, like "weighted Github" stars.

We need a Github for science. Benefits:

- free access for everyone. more people having access and participating will hopefully increased pace of development.

- better feedback over time on the quality of research as each 'article' or body of research would have issues raised, people commenting whether or not they we are able to duplicate the findings, revisions over time to deal with comments/issues, etc.

- Potentially easier to search and find relevant research through knowledge graphs of inter-related work, meta tags, and the "awesome X" type of publications/sites that would pop up to aggregate solid research in a particular area of study.

- Low or no barrier to publishing research, scientific community bias will not stop work from publication.

- will encourage and make it easy to publish null results: i.e. "I tried this... didn't work? Here why I think it didn't work...anyone got ideas?" Null results are very important and seldom published.

- may reduce fraud. No Science or Nature... just publish your work, if it is awesome, it will get lots of views and stars. All data and code needing to be available will limit ability to get away with stuff.

etc...

In the early days of Covid, hospitals were seeing pulse ox levels so urgently low (70s and lower) that they put many patients on vents much sooner than they normally would. The protocols were quickly changed once we realized vents harmed Covid patients more than they helped… but not before thousands died on them.

Another example of an autoimmune disease that has been becoming more common (not just more frequently diagnosed) is type 1 diabetes (T1D).

(From March, 2020):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7146037/

(Increased diagnostic capability seems unlikely to be a factor in T1D's prevalence -- when it is triggered, untreated T1D leads to obvious and serious symptoms (eventually death through ketoacidosis) over the course of months. It's not something you can just ignore and power through; treatment is required to survive.)
A quick search on google would only indicate that there is a nonzero amount of people who have encountered the issue, not that it is common.
FWIW, there's the entire field of Inductive Logic Programming focussed on learning/training (propositional or predicate logic) theories in Prolog syntax from examples presented as Prolog facts, with established packages such as Aleph and ProGolem also implemented in Prolog. See eg [1] for an ISO Prolog port and recent optimization/parallelization of Aleph.

To be fair, perhaps most sonatas include transposition within them, only it's written out.

This actually presents a hurdle for me, because if I learned a theme in G, and now I have to play it in D I feel like I know it, so I don't practice it as much as I did initially and it ends up in this weird limbo where I know what I'm supposed to play, but haven't properly trained my fingers.

But there's plenty of stories of Liszt or Chopin transposing music on the spot. Jazz too.
The description of the incident was their driver destroyed her parked car. They determined it was totaled and sat on it for TWO months. Having dealt with insurance companies you are tied to the behavior and efficiency of the adjuster at that firm. I had a situation where we burned through the 1st one quitting the company with zero notification, then an another who did nothing either.

In this case, publicly going to Amazon via the press was the right call and forced the resolution of the issue.

Beyond that Amazon, as a company is known for treating its employees poorly, more so the warehouse workers, drivers and also the tech side of the house. It is what it is.
Turning compile errors into runtime errors since 1991.
The title doesn't seem to reflect the actual content:

> They made her wait more than two months while they decided whether or not they were originally right about the car being totaled. Maybe they were going to try to fix it.

So it sounds like Amazon was dragging their feet figuring out if they were going to pay for replacing a totaled car or pay for fixing a near-totaled car. Then a reporter got involved and the expedited it.

That doesn't exactly reflect well on Amazon, but it also doesn't sound like the headline ("they tried to not pay at all") was actually the case.
