The aforementioned user namespaces and accompanying complexity come into play here, and you're going to take a performance hit using FUSE for fs and slirp for networking. I'm not saying these are bad tools, just that we need something simpler without sacrificing performance.
HN has a dupe checker based on URLs. If you're asking for a dupe checker based on content, not URLs, that's harder than it sounds. I don't know how to do it and I don't know of anyone who's solved the problem.

To solve it, you don't just have to identify when two articles contain the same story—you also have to distinguish when they don't contain the same story, even if the content is similar.

Since we don't know how to do that, we rely on a combination of moderation and community feedback (i.e., human judgment) to identify when a story has already had significant attention on HN, and merge or downweight the follow-ups. Since it isn't automated, this approach misses things. It does catch most of them though.

One thing is that sveltekit is a “batteries included” opinionated framework. Everything you need is there, the docs are excellent, you don’t need to make any decisions to get the fundamentals of routing, stores, directory structure, and other basic things working. This is the opposite of the traditional nodejs / JavaScript ecosystem of selecting a hodge podge of libs to get even a minimal thing going.
As much as I love using MacOS, the Intel NUCs offer upgradability for SSD and RAM which makes it harder to go with the Mac Mini if you need larger storage or memory.

The three I know about are all Ethereum account/state history stores.

Besu does something interesting they call Bonsai Trees. It reportedly uses a lot less storage (about 1/10, 1.1TB instead of 12TB) than what came before in certain modes that store all the account history ("archive node"), and a bit less storage in other modes. I haven't studied how Bonsai trees work, so I don't know if the method is useful for non-blockchain styles of account history.

Erigon is well known as using perhaps the smallest storage when storing all the account history, and this is what it's optimised for. Erigon uses a fairly classic B-tree, for performance reasons (lower IOPS than LSM-trees for relevant operations). Their tricks are in how the data is organised in the B-tree, being better than the classic Ethereum methods. Erigon 2/3/4 (not sure, they merged plans) uses a new storage format that is supposed to do the same thing better. I don't think Erigon's tricks would be applicable to TigerBeetle, because TB doesn't have the storage problem of keeping everythng in Merkle trees in the first place. But it's a place to look as Ethereum's leader for archive node storage.

Last but not least, I have a work in progress storage format that is more efficient than either of the above, in that it uses much less storage for all the account history (due to efficient queryable and updatable adaptive compression), and fewer IOPS to look up individual account states (because random access is important). It uses a novel storage tree structure that is neither a B-tree nor an LSM-tree, but has some aspects of both, in order to reach for lower IOPS in various scenarios that each of those trees ar better or worse at, and it is also compresses the data in a novel way, which is important to storing histories and patterned data efficiently. It was originally motivated by Ethereum state history storage (since there's a clear benchmark), but I'm thinking it could be useful for time series data.

To calculate embeddings for free, use this very popular model:
https://huggingface.co/sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v...

For storing the vectors and doing the vector search:
https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector

`ankane/pgvector` docker image is a drop in replacement for the postgres image, so you can fire this up with docker very quickly.

It's a normal postgres db with a vector datatype. It can index the vectors and allows efficient retrieval. Both AWS RDS and Google Cloud now support this in their managed Postgres offerings, so postgres+pgvector is a viable managed production vectordb solution.

> Also, how granular should the text chunks be?

That depends on the use case, the size of your corpus, the context of the model you are using, how much money you are willing to spend.

> Has anyone been able to achieve reliable results from these? Preferably w/o using Langchain.

Definitely. We use postgres+pgvector with php.

> Get a static IP from your ISP

Unfortunately easier said than done. Many of the major ISPs, like Comcast, don’t offer them to residential customers. And some ISPs (like mine, in the past) won’t do business service to some residential buildings.

Fortunately there are dynamic DNS services that help with this problem.
The Switch runs plenty of previous generation games, because it’s capable of supporting them. The Switch wouldn’t support MW 2, and Microsoft have not announced any plans to release that game, or any upcoming CoD game on it.

The reason Microsoft and Sony sign exclusive deal is mostly the keep games off each others platforms. Graphics-intensive “AAA” games aren’t going to run on the switch. Nintendo undeniably operates in a distinct segment, even if it’s capable of supporting some limited amount of overlap with the other vendors.

They've been doing it for a long time and it's always worked, either because they've always been this sloppy but everyone else reviewing was sloppier or gave the benefit of the doubt for reasons, or that they've put less and less effort into it over time because it hasn't been necessary.

Also the simpler the fraud is in execution the more likely you might be able to explain it away as a simple mistake or lack of familiarity with certain "tradesperson" tools adjacent to the skills you have framed in latin blackletter on sheepskin.

A lot of the predictions here didn’t age well and it’s generally for the same reason: the author is overconfident of their position and their predictions tend to be worst case catastrophising which undermines their whole point.

Take predictions of Australia: that the wheat export trade has permanently ‘stopped’ and that the drought in 2010 was actually ‘climate change’ which would not reverse. We actually have been producing record crops and rainfall has been massive (so massive that it damaged some of the crops) [0]

The fundamental question is ‘how is climate change going to affect geopolitics,’ which requires a good model for the climate and local weather effects and a good model for how changes affect people. I’m not convinced we have either yet, just some coarse climate models and a lot of conjecture on what these models portend.

Coping with non-free Debian
This extends into life as well. I play golf (for fun [2]), which cunningly has a scoring system that tells me I'm objectively rubbish, and getting (mostly) worse.

I've found this professionally useful in combating the seductive idea that "because I'm -really- good at one thing, I'm good at everything. "

I've seen the opposite in customers sometimes. Doctors who are very good doctors, have strong feelings about UI (that are objectively just wrong[1].) But because they operate in a culture which treats their word as law, they find it hard to accept that others may have skills in other areas they lack.

If you are an expert in something I recommend including something else in your life to keep you humble. That humility allows you to be a better spouse, parent, and human being. (And ironically a better expert who's able to recognise and adopt an idea or solution that'd better than yours even in your area of expertise.)

We choose to do these these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Reasonable ads are fine. Its when we go to websites that have ads that make the website load 100x slower, roll video content, and other shitty behaviors made people go to ad blocker.

Even google search is a joke with the number of ads you get with a single search. Sometimes i see more adds than results.

> It wasn't because it looked bad, it was because after people configured them to be functional it tended to take most of the screen.

This was true only for people who didn't know how to use a computer. And the fault was on MS side.
By default, after installation, every MS Office program had the screen filled with toolbars.

And, surprise, surprise, today is the same. The damn Ribbon uses almost 1/3 of the vertical space. And you cannot have individual toolbars anymore. It is all or nothing. And this is for the native programm. The "web" version is a total disaster in GUI design.

And this is coming from a sister language, Spanish.

I think you're not paying attention to how languages work.
There are different cell types in the colon, and I would expect a colony of each cell type to behave differently.

Cancer is like a bacterial infection, but with cells from the host. Of course if your lung has an infection of colon cells those don’t suddenly become lung cells.

Decentralization is a noble goal and one I admire but we've been told it is coming for over a decade and centralized cloud and financial services are more entrenched than ever.

Even if the social winds did miraculously change, LLMs will never be decentralized for the sole reason that once they're good enough to operate a gun and servo motors every government on the planet is going to lock that shit up fast (assuming massive relentless cyber campaigns somehow don't trigger that response first).
I do not believe the line is so clear cut for a recognisable face. Brands seek out these celebrities and pay a premium for the aura. The endorsement is implicit.

Consider that the relationship works both ways, the celebrity's own brand is tarnished by involvement with a product hit by scandal. See the celebrities that promoted FTX as an example. It is in their own interest to do some due diligence.

Conversely, the ads would be dropped if the celebrity actor became toxic. If Kelly Rowland made Kanye-style comments about Nazis or Jews, the ad would be buried. Are Kevin Spacey ads still airing?

The entire celebrity/influencer marketing system intentionally exploits a failure mode of human cognitive bias for profit. Transactional endorsements are morally bankrupt. A family member or friend that blindly recommended a product or service for pay would lose respect for that breach of trust. Celebrities that people respect should be held to the same or higher standards.

Consider this, if John Carmack regularly did ads playing a generic software engineer at BigCo and it turned out he didn't even know what the products were, would this community hold him in the same high regard?
The Perl and Raku Conference
The city of Bellevue WA adopted SCATS a few years ago and driving there seems much more pleasant now. I can drive from downtown Bellevue to the Microsoft campus and often face only two red lights (if you know the area: crossing 20th St/Northrop Way and then turning left onto 156th Ave). Before you would be stuck at a bunch of red lights after the cross traffic was long gone. And almost every intersection now has permissive left turns where before you’d have to wait on an unnecessarily long red arrow. Don’t know how “dumb” their system was before but it’s been a big improvement.

If this is the problem, you can usually force the GPU choice one way or another in BIOS.
The beam still keeps modulating its strength even in the middle of a hole in the shadow mask, so you can get, say, "half-pixels" (which are more of a smear, since this is analog and not digital). (or more likely, your hardware can't change pixels fast enough between the holes in the shadow mask so pixels are smeared out)

For most laptops (some gaming machines excepted) you don't find out the CPU and GPU power limits until after you install third-party software to inspect those settings. The turbo power limits affect system performance far more than minor clock speed differences between different Intel SKUs with similar core counts; it's not uncommon to find that the difference between an i5 and an i7 matters less than the unspecified thermal and power delivery limits.

The spec sheets that are provided for pre-built consumer machines will at best identify the two or three most expensive chips and give you a vague idea of what class of part they selected for up to a dozen other components. You will definitely never get the specificity of a PCPartPicker parts list. You won't be able to audit the list of components for ones that are known to be problematic for Linux use.

I think that still requires lots of work, since lots of programs expect to be able to pass around paths to children/parents and have those paths remain openable.

For instance, if both cmake and ld get their own sandboxes, with their own view of /lib, it seems pretty likely that cmake's -L flags will get mixed up, in a way that's harder to debug than "oh, CMake passed -L/lib/foo; nothing should use /lib, so I need to find where that's hardcoded."
Better to lose 2 cases than to not try to appeal the mergers at all. The FTC finally is growing some teeth under Khan, and even if they aren’t winning all cases, mergers are under much more scrutiny internally in companies. It’s no longer a „will definitely go through“ kind of thing.

Reminds me of Angular
This resonates a lot with me. At school I coasted, ignored all home work, never studied, and was a consistent C. I was continually told I could fo better by putting in some work (an objective viewpoint I agreed with.)

But i had better things to do. I started programming in grade 7, from a book, with a Apple 2 (circa 1982). There were no forums, no Internet just me and a thin booket that came with the computer, plus later, the odd magazine.

It was never "hard", but it was fun. It taught me how to build things, how to approach problems, how to throw something away and make things better. How to imagine.

Ultimately I would study comp Sci- people would teach me the right way to program, and 40 years later it's still my career. As I predicted at the time (somewhat obnoxiously to my then teachers, sorry Mrs Hodge), I had better things to do than raise my Geography score from a C to an A.

School is important, but finding something you enjoy, where "work" feels like "fun" is the truely "gifted child".
