I'm not saying that you need GitHub for things like including parts of other repositories, but rather that the way GitHub implemented it is not code included in the git that you apt install.

I didn't know of the specific "request-pull" subcommand so thanks for that link. Still, both things you link are a bit different from how GitHub implements it, and I'd be very surprised if the HTTP API you link includes an endpoint for triggering the request-pull the way that GitHub has such APIs for their pull request mechanism.

If you meant to say that git can do anything GitHub can and we needn't use GitHub, I agree. I've used git in peer-to-peer fashion before, and especially now that it's Microsoft's, I think twice before opening repositories there. But if your main point was rather that git includes the same functionality as GitHub and that OP could have just tested the regular git instead of doing it on GitHub itself, I still think that's a rather different test target.
>but maybe AI mainstream adoption will take longer than we anticipate.

I think no. I think most of the people will use the products without even hearing about GPT or LLM. There will be products that are based on LLM but they will have nice and easy to use UI which will be not much different that any other usual UI but they will have more advanced capabilities. People will just use them without realizing what is behind those UIs.

I think, because there is no need for user to know what is behind UI adoption of new LLM based AI will be much faster than other new technologies that we seen so far.

That's true, but that is an implementation detail. In abstract terms, you can think of an inner join like that.

Also, while what you say is true in general for modern DB's, there are some implementations like old Oracle versions where the only way to create the effect of an inner join was in terms of a Cartesian product.
it's not impossible (from a theoretical, and possibly physical perspective) but it's likely that there are no problems which would motivate the necessary investment to demonstrate a QC doing something useful which we couldn't also do in reasonable time on a classical supercomputer.

Kind of like fusors: sure, you can do nuclear fusion in your garage but you're putting in far more energy than you are generating.

>a common argument for the failed experiment of prohibition

prohibition actually succeeded in most of its goals, which was about reducing domestic violence and deaths from liver disease. The alcohol industry's billions in lobbying and advertising has done it's job to make people think it was a failure

https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/6/5/18518005/prohibit...

>contrary to popular perceptions about Prohibition and crime, that prohibitions were associated with lower murder rates — as much as 29 percent lower in some cases

>Per capita consumption initially fell to 30 percent of pre-Prohibition levels, before gradually increasing to 60 or 70 percent by 1933.” That suggests a 30 percent reduction, at a minimum, in consumption

>Prohibition reduced liver cirrhosis deaths — a commonly used proxy for all drinking at the time — by 10 to 20 percent.
Sure, and let's not kid ourselves: Hacker News is a perfect breeding ground to create, much more than solve those problems.

Making "startups" and "companies" the default way to "do software" is sometimes necessary, but very often not a good idea. It's absolutely fine to use software, and companies, to solve problems -- but when "software by company" is the focus, a whole lot of crap happens.
This was really meant as a bit of comedy, but with a grain of seriousness. It was meant to demonstrate that, if you just try hard enough, you can twist the history of about any product in this direction.
I keep it for sending the thing in for repair or trade-in. Most other manufacturers don’t offer warranty repair in most cases like AppleCare does and they don’t offer trade-in. So there’s no point in keeping the box around.

I’m not sure anyone thinks about much of what the article presumes they do. Especially luxury and status. I seriously doubt anyone keeps a cardboard box for the prestige.

What an unusual article. Though it would be interesting to hear from someone who does keep product packaging for the reasons it enumerates. Could be eye opening.
I think that the SQL-on-top, and optimistic model, are definitely things that can have a workflow-dependent performance impact and are relevant.

All databases do suffer under some red line of write contention; but optimistic databases will suffer more, and will start degrading at a lower level of contention. “Avoiding contention” is database optimization table stakes, and you should be structuring every schema you can to do so; but hot keys are almost inevitable when a certain class of real-time product scales, and they will show up in ways you do not expect. When it happens, you’d like your DBMS to give as much runway as possible before you have to make the tough changes to break through.

SQL-on-top becomes an issue for geographic distribution; without “pushing down” predicates, read-modify-write workloads, table joins, etc. on the client can incur significant round-trip time issuing queries. I think the lack of this is always going to present a persistent disadvantage vs selecting a competitor.

And again, given FDBs multiple-full-secondary model, it’s only a problem when working in real time, slower queries can work off a local secondary. But latest-data-latency is relevant for many applications.
> It seems pretty obvious that one would likely not criticize something that your are actively profiting from.

This doesn't track, since the people criticizing are benefiting even more from the same products/companies.
A closed to staff only instance for news orgs makes a ton of sense actually, if you see it as a feed and not an interaction platform, which despite everyone claiming Twitter was a way for bi-directional communication I see scant evidence that the average journalist engages with their audience directly in the way one imagines, it’s mostly fire and forget tweets anyway, perfect for Mastodon

Nice -- does anyone one know if this applies to the Steam Deck? Maybe not a game changer, but certainly a neat thing for us to play around with. (I also have a 4gb RX 570, but I'm fairly certain the Steam Deck is better, yes?)
Prohibition generally has fared poorly even for more complicated chemicals, but alcohol is essentially made from food. The ingredients for beer (and its distilled relations, whisky / scotch) are quite similar to the ingredients for leavened bread.

There is an "iron law of prohibition" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition) which posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases. Such was what happened in the original Prohibition in the US; beer and wine were ditched in favor of more potent hard liquor, which was often poorly made and possibly dangerous to consume.

There seems to be some contradictory opinions on Prohibition's overall effects, but what I seem to gather is that, while drinking overall went down, access to alcohol was still fairly easy (as alcohol isn't difficult to make), and the problem drinkers became more disruptive (due to consuming stronger, often poorly made stuff).
IDK, high DPI worked fine for me under Linux. I just set the desired DPI in Xfce settings, and everything scales properly. (Except Firefox, which has its own DPI setting! But it works equally painlessly.)

Where things go haywire is mixed resolution. It's best avoided :-\ Hence now I have a 28" 4k external screen which is exactly like four 14" FHD screens of my laptop, so the DPI stays strictly the same.
Prime factorization only breaks a subset of crypto algorithms, it’s not that useful or game changing alone.

Haven't anybody made hardware that can make a 2d flux image capture of any tape yet? I'd imagine it could be done using a staggered array of high density tape heads for modern tape drives like LTO-9. I'm thinking that might help with recovering the degraded tapes mentioned.

Performance is equivalent in both representations, but the important thing is being able to write

vec4 c = a * 4 + b;

instead of

vec4 c = vec4_add(vec4_mul(a, 4), b);

i.e. infix vs postfix order, with simple * and +/- operators etc. I would very much like to appeal to the Zig authors to see the beauty in the former expression compared to the latter, for a huge class of real-world mathematical applications.
