I realize I didn't formulate my comment well -- the XYZ problem happened.

I am interested in your fast loading techniques in general. I also am considering making a bunch of personal / pro websites where I'll use a static generator. Just looking for some inspiration and ideas to steal I suppose.

Since it's kinda fresh pursuit for me, I am still looking to gather some links and do proper research. I wasn't looking to deanonymize you, my apologies.
Separate ingest / compaction / query sounds pretty useful - literally just this morning I needed to learn about docker memory limits, because somehow querying 10 days of data OOM’ed my 32GB server… (And my entire database, holding a little over a year of data, is only 33GB on disk o_O)

(Now it’s running in a container, and the container crashes and restarts whenever somebody opens a medium-sized dashboard, causing a few seconds of lost metrics - so being able to OOM-kill the query-daemon while leaving the ingest-daemon running sounds like a step forwards :) )
> then i start to find out it is full of rando backdoors intended for VMs,

Do you have some links to share?

PSF News: Announcing Our New Security Developer in Residence
Yes, they were huge in the depression. I live in one my parents bought and built in the 30's for $1400. One large room, 2 bedrooms 12x12, kitchen 9x12, bathroom 7x7, mudroom 7x7. Just wood. They used an early lay-away plan and it arrived as lengths of labelled wood and a number of single pane swing to open windows. Totally un finished, no wires/plaster/lathes etc, they wired/plumbed it but did not plaster it as we used it as a summer cottage They left to Dad and he got married and he and wife added insulation and dry wall and a sleeping loft. 3 kids later and after being widowed, I live here alone and see kids/brother via the internet. It is still a small house, but grandfathered taxes are only $560 a year.
I now 84, taxes will leap after I pass...
I doubt such kits are viable now, as this was built over several years with grandparents in tents and codes/inspectors - what are those? The current codes and frequent inspection milestones as the build progresses are less suited to kit homes. Might be viable for a handy person with hired in trades for trade tasks.
Home building is ripe for a disruption - huge inertia in the code/inspect system. Law here states you must have a window in every room to ventilate the fire place?? I can see many people happy in a house with a home office, TV room etc with no window. Hang a 48" 4K display on the wall and dial up an IP view of any where at all, or watch TV?
The statement in the title is usually a clear indicator that someone (willfully or otherwise) doesn't understand inflation.

Nominal profits are higher when inflation is higher. You have to take into account inflation when measuring profits. Sure, some companies have an increased profit margin when adjusted for inflation, others don't. And there's the cantillion effect, those upstream on the debasement pipeline do profit from inflation.

About the only exception to this is that when prices do go up, if production costs come back down companies very rarely bring prices back down, they acknowledge that people see a new normal and then pocket the difference.
It's not even the tiniest bit "hard light". The actual journal article is titled "Multidimensional Coherent Spectroscopy of Molecular Polaritons: Langevin Approach".

The article is about light induced phases of matter: new behaviors for existing matter. Not matter being generated from light, which is what the headline implies.

The title of the article is bad and they should feel bad.

I did LFS back when autoconf/automake was considered a modern way to build software.
The difficulty is in the "what actually happened" when the only documentation is from hundreds of years after-the-fact.
I used to frequent a chat room like this, around 1998-9. I think it was absolutechat.com. I think they restricted the HTML somewhat, though, I remember there being a group of people who tried to ruin it and some of us figured out a snippet of HTML that'd just close a bunch of tags to clean up. Fun times.
That falls pretty clearly into the first bucket the parent listed, "Help write lots of code"
I may be in the minority here (based off of other comments), but using raw SQL commands has been more performant, easier to write, easier to understand, easier to learn, and easier to build complex queries/ commands than an ORM has ever provided.

Updating some records in a CTE and using the results in a subsequent SELECT? It may take a minute or so on stack overflow, but significantly less than it would with SQLAlchemy.

Want to make a composite primary key? I have no idea how you would do it with most ORMs, but it’s relatively straightforward with SQL.

A lot of times the stuff you want to do won’t even be available in your ORM, but the person lobbying for using it always pleads “it’s okay, it still allows you to make raw queries! We have an escape hatch!” Then when you start writing raw queries, your PRs get rejected: “Please stick to the ORM”.

I don’t understand people’s love of ORMs instead of simply learning SQL, it seems to bring on myriad headaches for nearly zero benefit.

Good call on the categories.

> The short version is that the Brier score is much better than .25 for AI questions, and the weighted Metaculus Prediction is more accurate still.

Added more categories. 1 year out is 0.217. I agree that's better than chance, though "much better"?

That said, this is dominated by bad community predictions pre-2020 and there's not much data recently for binary questions. I agree that CRPS is better - but it's not clear to me from that link how early they are looking at questions - accuracy gets better closer to resolve date -- I'm claiming that longer-term predictions are shakier.
Wasn't the cause a software bug that was fixed and not a design issue?
> It has nothing to do with overheating. It is battery ageing. The internal resistance of a battery increases as it ages, leading to brownouts when peak current happens

yawn Why my 8 years old Moto XT910 eat the battery like cookies but did not reboot? It's battery wasnot only old, but swollen a bit, it's USB port was damaged so sometimes the charge didn't actually happened... but it still could survive a couple of hours with enabled radio and GPS, serving a navigation app with 3G updates? And didn't reboot?

This isn't obviously true now that Moore's Law is no longer in effect.

When you own the fab, your fab engineers and design engineers can help each other out. When you can gain a factor of 2 every 18 months, this is unimportant. If you can only gain 20% every 18 months, this is much more important.

Intel is about to divest themselves of their fab at a point when it is vital that they cooperate with it. Welcome to American management.

This is a great idea. Currently it does not browse the internet at all, it is just using typical GPT requests with whatever it is trained on which can hallucinate. However, I think it can be pretty accurate at most things. Adding the ability to fact check any given part of the course is an awesome feature idea!

"peaches christ" is a play on the name "jesus christ." can you think of additional variations involving fruit
ChatGPT
Certainly! If you're looking for fruit-themed variations, here are a few examples:

Apple Apostle
Banana Buddha
Cherry Messiah
Grapefruit Guru
Kiwi Krishna
Lemon Lama
Mango Mahatma
Orange Oracle
Pineapple Pontiff
Watermelon Wonder
Please note that these variations are meant for playful purposes and should not be interpreted as disrespectful towards any religious figures or beliefs.

User
can you do the same for "prophet Muhammad"
ChatGPT
I apologize for any misunderstanding, but as previously mentioned, it would be inappropriate and disrespectful to create wordplay or variations involving the name of Prophet Muhammad. I strive to promote understanding and respect for all religions and their figures. If you have any other questions or need assistance with a different topic, please let me know, and I'll be glad to help.

So it'll do buddha, guru, krishna, etc but not muhammad. Eventually after not referencing islam I got

Mostly friends or targeting well known companies. I've used recruiters, all sorts of things. I can't speak to the current climate as I haven't looked in years.
Thanks! I totally get it — I think a lot of time with acquisitions in general there's also a lot of good faith intentions that never manifest for whatever practical reason(s), so I can totally understand why the cynicism arises. I appreciate the positive wishes and I will do my best to convert those into positive outcomes!
That's a good clarification. However, exactly which methodologies a scientist uses doesn't seem like it makes a difference as to whether it counts as science, so long as it's still in the general spirit of the thing? This is decided culturally.

Also, it seems like there's more to understanding methodology than deciding what counts as science?

To go back to the ant analogy, people had fuzzy ideas about what an ant looks like. Some people might have called other bugs ants even though today we don't. This later led to more precise definitions under scientific taxonomy, where some species are scientifically classified as ants. But there's a lot more to understanding ant behavior than deciding what counts as an ant.

(Also, the definition of what an ant is co-evolved with scientific understanding of ants. Taxonomy existed before the theory of evolution and taxonomies were refined with genetic testing.)
Because you said

> It’s still a relatively new and niche language, so, yes.

If nobody is able to give a non-partisan reply, I don't see how you could ever be satisfied.

> like defect rates of Rust code bases compared to non-Rust ones.

Cool, thanks. That does seem like one that is more objective, though there are confounding factors in that too, because sometimes defects lurk without being detected. This stuff is hard!

Google did put out something about this specifically on Rust (and others) use in Android, by the way, you might find that interesting: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-language...
One flag also not mentioned is -n, which allows you to run the same application in more than one instance. Historically the single most used utility for me, though the number of applications that have had design problems bad enough to warrant it has gone down.

I am introducing that complexity. It is the article that omitted it to tell a simple bad guys oppressing good guys tale.

> 1492 Spain as such didn’t exist. The Moors invaded the Visigoths! It was no more a rightful invasion that what the Visigoths themselves did when Rome fell.

So you should have no trouble or qualms justifying the colonization of the Americas or India using that same logic, correct? It's strange how fluid and complex identity is in some cases, but straightforward in others. The Alhambra decree wasn't passed by "Spain" either, but by Castile and Aragon, yet we have no trouble drawing a line between these entities, at least when we want to assign blame.
What would happen if you edited the binary from "edge://" to "http://"?
> LLMs specially are pretty promising for the future of programming.

How? I am sorry, but I don't get the optimism. I have used GPT4 for over two months now in various projects and got very mixed results. It has been fun to use, but it hasn't increased my productivity at all. The time I gained with the tasks it completed successfully without much tinkering was unfortunately compensated by many tasks that gave misleading or erroneous results, which I had to first find (not fun) and then fix either on my own or, again, with the help of GPT.

Maybe I am doing something wrong...

Significantly faster. A few months ago, after building a new rig for the first time in 6 years or so. I did a gentoo build from minimal to gnome, as exercise/burn-in/cooling testing. With the amount of RAM and cores available now compared to 2005, an 'emerge -e @world' only took a few hours vs the days and days it took back then.
I don't want Apple's shitty AppStore on my iPhone. I'd like to replace it, but I can't because Apple doesn't think I should be able to install apps that aren't approved by Apple. They can go fuck off as well.
Microsoft's black patterns are starting to irritate me. This most recent incidence had an effect on several of our 365 users. Even with GPO, this still overrides the browser's default settings. Microsoft buried the option to set the browser to its default in the settings of Outlook. For every user, we must change it manually. We'll be searching for alternatives to Microsoft Office in the future.
We just did the Cyber Essentials as we have no certifications and a customer in UK required this. Then we thought we could go ahead to get the Cyber Essentials Plus as well. At least we can now say we have had a cybersecurity audit from an external party - hopefully it will put some more trust to these endless questionnaires.
Big same. I remember being not being able to share a reference to something allocated on the stack at the start of main to a background thread. I was like "come on, of course its safe. That was allocated before the thread was spawned. It's main. When it returns the application exits"

But rustc's error messages helped it click that there might be a race condition on when the application returns from main and the background thread terminates. So it really needs to have the static life time to be safe. It's a small subtle thing but depending on the application it could lead to real bugs. I've definitely written variations of that bug in C before. A newer dev would have just accepted that flat out without arguing.
They also certified them prior to those fatal incidents.

As opposed to the dizzying array of ORMs that all have multiple caveats you need to know and utterly incompatible in fundamental ways between each other?

Folks go on about how they're "stuck" with a single dialect of SQL but completely ignore how utterly impossible it is to switch ORMs without a full app rewrite. And ORMs are all language-specific, so if you have two different app clients in different languages, you can't always share even basic API access patterns.

Got a Java Spring app alongside a Django app? Good luck!
So far I got it to hallucinate me a formula, which gave me half the frequency I asked for on a 555 circuit. Also, I got it to connect the data lines on a usb C port to a micro, but it only connected A7(D-) and B6(D+), which doesn't seem ideal. Also, it forgot about termination resistors, which, like, for usb 2.0, stuff will probably work without them, but not ideal.

This tool seems like a nice way to recommend parts, but I don't think I'd trust it with much of the actual design.

From what I have seen from AI so far. The only place I can see this level of AI being really useful, would be a place like digikey. Like, as an alternative to parametric search.

Man… I’ll preface this by saying I’m Canadian and that in Canada 80% of firearms deaths are intentionally self-inflicted. It’s a piece of important colour for what I’m about to say next.

I am a very left-leaning firearm owner in Canada and your comment perfectly describes my frustration. I have a few friends who will engage in a healthy discussion on the topic, but so so often it just turns into thought-terminating cliches and memes. And on the other side of it, many of the people I run into at the range are full of right-wing thought-terminating cliches, memes, and conspiracy theories. Urgh. Oh well, at least I can go out to the farm and put holes in boxes in peace!

While I don't like the language you chose, and the way it presents your reply as snide, I'll ablige. I addressed that already.

"The increase in number and specificity of building codes has come in-part due to foreign-made building materials and poor QC."

Quality Control from foreign made building materials was far less than those components manufactured in the U.S. at the time. I grew up in a pipefititng and piping wholesale family, which is closely adjacent to steel manufacturing. You're welcome to dive in if you're genuinely curious, there's tons of reading material available. I'd recommend starting with the decline in fitting production and consolidation in the U.S. in the 90s with the introduction of Korean-made fittings. Chinese-made cast iron is another one to poke at. Starting in the 70s, Chinese-made cast iron was widely imported and was used widely in underground piping, namely sewer and sanitary. Cast iron failure was a huge problem for 20 years.

The “automagic” nature of ORM frameworks makes it easy for developers to inadvertently implement “N+1 selects” access patterns. Most ORM frameworks will also offer a number of ways to mitigate this issue, though, and if you are going to use an ORM you must thoroughly read the documentation to understand how it works and what options are available to accessing data.

That being said, the worst codebase I ever worked on was created by a team who felt that ORMs were “evil”. It was littered with N+1 select issues from developers trying to reuse snippets of code without thinking through the performance implications.

So I’d say it really comes down to the skill/experience of the engineers to use tools correctly rather than what tools you use.
I too live in one, although it was heavily modified around 2009 with a second story put on it. All the houses on this side of the street are the same Sears house model and all have been slightly greatly modified over the last 110 years.

Modern databases offer incredibly useful and powerful functionality that abstraction layers typically don't implement.

Postgres has so many useful features and functions that ORMs just don't usually surface - that's not what ORMs are about.

So it's not just about "learning SQL", it's about learning the database itself and what it has to offer.

Search engines, JSON in/JSON out, features like SKIP LOCKED for queueing, arrays, the list goes on and on, and if your view of the database is through an abstraction library you'll likely never even know what's in there.

So don't just learn SQL, learn the database itself.

I think it's more that cheap, low quality labor was not available for manufacturers at the time, whereas when it did become available they used it. The difference being that labor in the US is "high quality" in the sense that it is more regulated than what can be found elsewhere.

So a cheap and bad option appeared on the market it was only from overseas, not domestic. It's not an issue of where it's made - just different qualities made available.

> On any hardware supported fully by both

This hardware does not exist, or at least it's exceedingly rare. something most folks miss is that the OS supports the hardware (though for Windows it's more the drivers than the OS, but I digress), but equally (and perhaps moreso) the hardware supports the OS.

Modern hardware is full of code (almost always proprietary), in ACPI, in EFI, in the EC, in all the devices. You cannot (without significant engineering effort) make the hardware support both OSes equally.
For the framing/support that's probably true, but things like electrical are largely written in response to fires/shocks.

The house kits seemed to started falling out of fashion as society started deeming electricity an essential, though the timeframe also had other things like the depression/ww2 going on to cause issues with it too.
