I don't think that's accurate at all. One of the big problems is that it forces us to make bad architectural choices to deal with the limitations, including a lot of code duplication.

> Basically Postgres loses 10% performance vs threads[1] because of its Process based model, and leaves a bunch of caching related performance on the table but has the benefit that a process crash doesn’t bring down the entire database.

A process crash does bring the entire database down today.

> Personal View: Postgres development stalled in the early/mid 2000s and MySQL rose to prominence (so around V7/V8 time). While there were many people involved, I believe Tom Moor was instrumental in “dragging” Postgres development into V9/V10 land where it really started out-evolving it’s competition, terraforming the landscape for all the features it has now (thanks to every contributor who helped make it what it is today) this proposal while maybe well intentioned has the potential to drag Postgres into a multi year “dark age” of buggy code and perceived lack of progress. To be hyperbolic about it - that could be the start of an extinction event

Nobody of that name has worked meaningfully on postgres from what I can tell. And I worked on PG during that time.

Posts on Sociables are search engine indexable by default. One aspect I like about reddit is how you can append "reddit" to the end of a google search to get discussion about the thing you are searching for. This was a design decision that we went with from the start to make Sociables behave similarly. We are also working on improvements to our internal search to make post results also appear.
I may be wrong, but I believe this is how the subreddit already works. They set a total amount of crypto to be released, and it goes in proportion to the total number of upvotes you receive in comparison to others in a given time window. I think the approaches are largely identical with the exception of the crypto vs direct fiat.
Are the areas similarly attractive?
>package delivery is a much larger part of the economy today than it was 26 years ago

I read an article last week where a DEI expert was angry about the new release of The Little Mermaid because it wasn't nearly racist enough; that 18th-century Caribbean people were friends and kind to each other no matter what their race or sex; it was unconscionable that history should be rewritten to leave out the allegedly horrible experiences being had by BIPOC in that place and time.
Just realized that obviously you don't need stability if you're using in-place quicksort, so the tiny-sort heapsort is a better recommendation. 304 bytes, although the scaling to large arrays is much worse because of the awful access patterns.
I'm a pro-life coastal elite. Try me. Private Catholic school, cause I'm Catholic. About as elite as you can get (well, I went to Public High school I guess).

I can talk about other groups without falling into the fallacy of just calling them a "Hate Group" just because I disagree with them. Even on important issues like Abortion.

In any case, the anti-abortionists who go towards bombs and explosives are hate groups, and I have to work at making sure my Catholic (and Catholics, a group I'm part of) are not associated with such assholes. That's just life. Assholes exist, on my side of the political spectrum, on your side, on opponents side, etc. etc.

I'm not going to align myself with those violent assholes to score political points. I'm more than confident in my ability to argue about the life of the fetus on my own grounds without having to bring in strawman arguments or whatever.

----------

If anything at all, its become more important to distinguish myself from other assholes as these hate groups come up. I can be pro-life without being a hate group, but it does mean acknowledging that the hate-groups need to be moderated (both in my own groups, but also in the public spaces).

Part of the issue there is that the 3D-acceleration-enabled versions of Mechwarrior 2 (and Mercenaries) were buggy as heck even at the time. (Mercenaries was even pretty buggy before they did the 3D card patch, and it only got moreso.) It really doesn't help this kind of games preservation that the games themselves could be kind of junk, from a technical standpoint.

I'm concerned about the `#` character in the URL.

> Here’s a list of about 30 examples since the 15th century where various governments have prevented the free movement of their people (because even then, they recognized that public health is more important than individual travel).

You mean those centuries before we truly recognized individual rights? Not a compelling argument. Again, quarantine of people who had possibly had exposure is very different than the proactive lockdown approach taken during COVID.

> In the face of a never-before-seen rapidly spreading and mutating virus, what the hell do you think medical professionals and governments ought to do? Stand by idly and let people die?

Inform the public and let them personally assess the level of risk they're willing to accept. You know, like they do with literally every other health question. Expanding protections for people facing dangerous working conditions because of the virus to opt out of work, and mandatory sick leave, is perfectly reasonable as well.

I don't know why people act like this obvious answer is completely out of the question. Will it result in more death? Quite possibly. Giving governments moral authority to limit people's rights in such a fashion is never the right answer though. Would you support the draft too?
> They are hoping people start "forgetting" like they have about twitter

Forget about twitter or forget about Twitter's latest issues and decisions? Because I used to open twitter 3 times a day to periodically check in on recent research and stuff. I stopped doing that (maybe once a month now) because all of my fav researchers would get vitriol in the comment sections.
>When and where does it end? It's completely arbitrary. Why is the word you find offensive OK to edit but the ones I find not? It all becomes a political thing and everything gets ruined.

I don't buy this slippery slope argument. Where does it end? It ends wherever the rights holders of the books say it ends. If you want them to change a word you think is offensive, try to convince them to change it.

>We all know that controlling language is a form of power and that's the entire point of these revisions. Whoever controls the language controls the masses, it has been said.

This is a rather hyperbolic claim for changing a few sentences in a story about kids visiting a chocolate factory. No one is "controlling the masses" with Roald Dahl books. This isn't about changing the history books. It is ensuring that stories can still be enjoyed in the same way they were originally without being burdened with either an accompanied history lesson or what we now view as bigotry.

> You can apply any principles here - why should we apply the principles that you agree with???

The principles that I agree with are that no one should be censored. Most people can agree to that because most people can see that good speech being censored is much worse than bad speech not being censored.

If you want some other principles then I'm going to insist that you're very clear about what they are, so I can make sure they're applied consistently to you as you would have them applied to anyone else.

> First off, it's old age that is a protected class.

There are many different laws that specify what a protected class is and it's not uncommon for the text to say no more than "on the basis of age". For example, people under 40 aren't protected for the purposes of federal employment discrimination but it's illegal in New York City to discriminate against younger people for housing:

> how could anyone take this argument in good faith?

There are people who literally believe that life begins and conception and abortion is murder. Planned Parenthood's position is that a fetus isn't a person until it gets older. Which position you agree with is the very point of contention in the debate. The people who take the other side are not acting in bad faith. They honestly disagree with you.
I suspect there's a transformation through intent.

This does lead to poor policing (like the famous Google banning man for taking photo of his child's genitals to send to doctor story).

It appears that in present-day English people use the word 'abuse' to mean more than physical abuse. If you're a prescriptivist that may upset you, but isn't that the nature of being a prescriptivist? Does it perhaps beg the question "why be a prescriptivist?"? Aren't you, perhaps, literally standing against the world?
This is in response to your latest response. Not sure why the reply link isn't showing.

Take adobe student discount. They license at a discount if you're a student.

The rights holder can restrict who gets what license. If you're trying to be able to say "released under OSI approved rubber stamped" then sure, maybe duel licensing is not ok. But you don't need the two licenses to be in agreement, and if you're not a student you don't legally get the student discount just by identifying as one.

So you could easily and legally do, free for not-for-profit, $50 otherwise with source.

We're making the third choice, which is to edit the words of the people we worship in order to maintain that worship, to keep them heroic. Keeping people from idolizing racists by going back and making them not racist (so we can continue to worship the same things without guilt.)

Instead we should just be adult, and recognize that being racist isn't an entire person, it's a component of a person that may have other components that are deeply admirable. The refusal to admit that causes difficulties for people whose almost entire academic life consisted of the study of the works of racists. Deleting their racism from history is a comfortable solution for people still living off the wealth that their racist ancestors accumulated.
Not sure how dowries are rooted in the idea that women are property...

If you were talking about bride price then it would make more sense.

In many cultures the men had to pay the father of the bride, thus people in a sense were literally selling their daughters. Still there was a reason for this at the time, in those cultures, women moved to live with the husband family, and at same time their labor was important, it was expected then that the husband's family would pay the bride's family enough money to replace the "lost labor" of having one of their workers moving away.

I don't know the logic behind dowries though, much less why it persists now.

EDIT: making clearer:

Bride Price: Man pays the Woman's father. "buying" her, and giving in payment a value expected to be equal to the labor her father lost with her moving away.

Dowry: Woman's father pays the Man. Never saw someone "buying" something by getting paid for it... thus why I think Dowry has nothing to do with women being property. (instead it is more like Women are a burden you want to offload).
You can cheat with underscores, though. Said another way, you can trick your brain into tokenizing the looooong input by using, as a convention, some kinds of separators. In Elisp, you'll see names-that::have-_a_field_name+in-it. (Because of lack of namespacing and loose syntax rules for identifiers). Even if you do, though, a bad long name is still bad (one with 50% words to be removed without losing the meaning). Because you loose time on sifting through irrelevant or redundant information. At some point, you'll remember and learn to recognize the whole symbol, or a distinct part of it. Until that happens, though, you need to actually read, not just look, to know what's going on. It's slow, like a cache miss, and can be slowed down further by both not enough information, and too much information.

I've beaten the drum a few times that it is important not to conflate LLMs with AI as a whole.

LLMs are never going to solve this. That's OK. That's not their job. Their job in the long run will be to interface between the linguistic world and some other internal representation in some other AI that is structured differently and is capable of doing things language models aren't.

I mean, it's right in the name: Language model. It's a bit weird to expect a language model to do other things. In a weird sort of way LLMs stand to set the industry back a bit as people try to tickle them into being more than a language model, rather than figuring out how to adapt them to feed something else that can model the non-linguistic world better. It's kind of nifty that language models can become so overpowered in some dimensions that they are able to do what they can sort of do today, but we would almost certainly be better off lowering the power of the language model and using that compute on something else that would work more like AI as we want it to... it's just that we don't know how to do that yet.

I really wish I had more information about some concrete technical problems I've solved in the past. The problem I've often run into is that writing them down is tedious.

That led me to create an app that allows me to record myself on video, then transcribes what I say and synthesis it using Chat GPT. I've called it Vournal.

You can hardly be blamed for that, they've been saying it was one way or another since at least the 1970's.

Literally none of their doomsday scenarios have occurred as stated yet.

My bet is, rather than bovine farts and air for plant-life,
the major climate driver will turn out to be what it always has been... 1 million earths-worth chaotic searing nuclear eruption, boiling atop hidden internal processes 4b+ years.

And if there is a human aspect to it, I'd first investigate the large-scale weather-modifying experiments creating and directing precipitation in arbitrary and unaccountable ways over large landmasses for decades. Eg, look at China's.

* I don't want to use the terminal at all if possible. Not to configure my OS, not to do basic stuff which Win can do with a few clicks. I'm in awe how fast and efficient some people are with it, but if I need it at most once or twice a day, it's a nuisance.

* No binaries. I don't want to compile software ever.

* Packages and dependencies.

* Game compatibility. But apparently not for much longer.

* The problems I have with Win10 have been solved by running a debloater once after installing it.

* the law requires immediate arrest with no bail based on just a verbal accusation, so the threat of this is often used as a tool during divorce for the wife to get what she wants
