You could use Marqo, it is a vector search engine that includes the text chunking, inference for calculating embeddings, vector storage, and vector search. You can pick from a heap of open-source models or bring your own fine-tuned ones. It all runs locally in docker https://github.com/marqo-ai/marqo
Absolutely.

Here in Australia at least, we have signs stating that "All bags must be presented for inspection" when leaving stores. These have no legal basis and customers are free to refuse, which I did in the past, I guess I have to start doing it again.

Of course it comes with some somewhat heated discussions at times when you say no, their desired effect of course.

We really do need to fight back against such egregious overreach such as this instance, I guess that means fighting on all fronts.
Yup, something to do with that line on the map.

The one that never applied to Afghanistan. I definitely concur about non-measurable metrics. But the metrics in Ukraine are very specific and absolutely measurable. Essentially the exact opposite of the situation in that conflict, in this regard.

Putin's croaking soon isn't a requirement for this thing to stop. The main point is that not something that's going to happen in the far off future. Which means that most likely this conflict has similar bounds time-wise as well.

If by "people" you mean random Youtubers -- yeah, "people" have been predicting all kinds of stuff. But very few of the analysts with actual expertise in these things have been making catastrophic predictions of the sort you're talking about (not even about the mutiny, or whatever it was 3 weeks ago). They've been quite level-headed and consistent in what they've been saying, actually.

With that - I think we can find our own "stop", also. We don't have to agree about where this thing is ultimately heading.

For my own part, I'll leave deliberations on that topic -- to those who are actually fighting it or living through it.
Chroma is just a wrapper for Clickhouse. I’d go with something like Weaviate or Qdrant that is a lot more mature as far as vector databases.
Another attempt to shill more and more tokens.

What is wrong with open and simple protocols, like NOSTR?
Thanks to the different NIPs (NOSTR Improvement Proposals) [1] any client can choose to support or ignore anything that another has bolted on.

And incentives for developers, you ask? If your client or relay is truly better than the competition, then users want to use your software/Webapp. They will not mind paying a small fee to use it, which has been possible for years by using value4value-like systems. [2]

> Being humble is one thing, but not realizing one's gift is another.

Very true, but this doesn't change the fact that math is actually simple, but it is generally taught so badly that most students can't "get" it.

I did a bit of private tutoring back when I was in college (and I'm still doing it for my own children), and every person learns in a different way. It is not always easy to find the right way to convey an idea, but once you find it you can see in the student's eyes how it just clicked.

Totally anecdotal, but I once helped someone who "didn't get how percentages work" get a really high (with respect to her previous attempts) GMAT score in maths.
I used to be firmly in the one-space camp because my first intro to the subject was from Robin Williams _The Mac Is Not A Typewriter_. However, at some point -probably one of the regular resurrections of this debate on HN - I came across a convincing argument that the line of reasoning in that book is wrong; that it was actually common for typeset books to use larger spaces between sentences than between words and that when the typewriter was invented, the two space rule came about because that's what people were already used to seeing.

I got so sick of all the arguments from ignorance that I decided to get empirical and have taken to examining the type in old books to see if there's any kind of consistency as you work back in time from the word-processor era to the typewriter era to the pre-typewriter-era. The problem is that I don't have access to enough old books to come to much of a conclusion.

I have _The Works of Shakespeare_ from 1919 (MacMillan and Co.) and it definitely uses wider spaces between sentences than between words. This is true both in the fully justified text of the preface as well as in the ragged right of the plays.

I also have a Webster's Dictionary from 1937 and it too uses wider spaces between sentences than between words. All the text is fully justified.

However, virtually all modern books use the same width space between words as between sentences. Notice that I'm _not_ saying "one space" or "two spaces" because books are typically fully-justified and so it can easily be the case that all the spaces on a line are much wider than a single space character; it's just that the space between sentences is no wider than the space between words.

Which brings me to what I feel like is usually ignored in these debates: justification. Professionally typeset works that get printed are almost universally fully justified. Everything else - typical word-processor output, the entirety of the web, etc. is left justified. if you're going to write an algorithm for full-justification you're going to have to mess with spacing and it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable to put a little more space between sentences than between words. Although presumably it's algorithmically simpler to treat all spaces the same way, especially if there aren't great rules for even knowing when a sentence ends e.g. "No, I expect you to die Mr. Bond".
I agree in principle that your personal story is made of the rough things you've overcome, and it's refreshing to hear it stated in a positive way (calculus) as opposed to the usual negative way (abuse, alcoholism, etc). It misses something, though: Many people will slack endlessly on doing the hard thing until it appears to us to be a challenge we've come up with for ourselves. Then and only then does doing it the hardest way possible seem not just worthy of our time, but essential to our personal growth.

I'd argue that as long as someone reaches that attitude toward something that they choose, they have lived a good life. And that something doesn't need to be a high school math class. The hard thing could be trying to become a chef when you're 50, or deciding to write your next app in Assembly knowing none at all, or surviving a month in the woods, or going to a foreign country with the intention of learning the language. It has to be hard to make it worthwhile, but it has to be your own to make it valuable as an accomplishment to you, as opposed to something imposed on you which you merely endured. I think this is why a lot of people come out of incredibly hard ordeals in the military with much less personal sense of self-worth than they were sold they would get going in.

The film industry needs as much help as it can get at the moment, all studios have been hit with massive flops this summer. After the Flash, on track to lose at least $200million, Warner need Barbie to be a hit, so this bizarre double header is a way for Warner and Universal to get some positive buzz going for their films. Both of the are tracking to do well, and they didn't cost too much to make like the Flash or Dial of Destiny, so their break even is at a much lower gross.
language is interface and keyboard is interaction device, so in what aspect are they similar? could you elaborate on this?
Meh the first thing I saw when I opened the demo page was a spinner. That's sitting at the opposite side of the normal distribution for site lightness.
I greatly prefer the new UI. Vertical text is annoying to read so you'd end up memorizing it anyway and it makes it more cluttered, which is the last thing I want when I want to focus on the code. Clickable areas were also much smaller, which meant you'd have to be more precise with the mouse, which is quite annoying.

I don't think they're strays or unwarranted. Apple makes icons flat, every else makes icons flat. Apple adds white-space around icons, everyone else does.

Mmm guessing that I missed the train on this 'un, but in case someone stumbles upon this and is concerned aboot the FX of PFAS, besides water filtration – and I recommend this because it is literally impossible to avoid them unless your dietary sources are locally sourced (and you know they aren't fed/hydrated with PFAS ridden feed/water) – CoQ10 is, thus far, the singular supplement/medicine jawn I know of to aid your body's removal of the endogenous activating particles.

The JSON endpoints are pretty neat, you can just take any reddit page, be it subreddit, submission comments or username, and append `/.json` to the URL and tadaa, JSON data. Although like you said, I'm pretty sure they will axe it at some point, and I'm honestly surprised that they didn't already.

I can imagine however, that old.reddit.com scraping/parsing layers will pop up left and right as soon as that happens (and those in turn could be the final nail in the coffin for old.reddit.com)

I've found that one of the best ways to dismantle an overblown ego is to play StarCraft (Brood War or SC2, the result will be the same) or really any other 1v1 game. The direct feeling of being beaten, potentially overrun completely, time and time again, especially after putting in hard work is very humbling.

Fighting games are very good for this except they've always invited a certain mental block in people where they'll declare certain things "cheap" and end up offloading a lot of the humbling experience and not take it to heart. This type of scrub mentality exists everywhere but in fighting games it seems to come extra easy to people, perhaps because they have too many potential things they can blame (tier of their character, match-up supposedly being bad, etc.).
Yeah that’s … quite … the double feature. I wonder what they showed first - GotF being second would be quite the surprise after totoro.
This is very valuable advice.

Find a niche, do one thing and do it well. You do you.

Or if you want to be a generalist, that's very valid too, but again, you do you.

The constant glorification of growth and the massive industry built around it doesn't help.
Biggest army in the world, also the only reason most of europe has freedom today and not a german dictatorship is the US in WW2. This is something europeans forget when complaining about "outsized" US influence but then also don't invest in defense and keep being safe just by the grace of the US. This comes with a price.

It’s interesting to note the similarities between theme park design and video game design—both involved worlds that appear “realistic”, but feature many of these tricks to make them more entertaining, more easily navigable, more conducive to discovery. In both cases, the worlds can feel “big”, but a are in reality much compressed from what their real-life dimensions would be, to keep people from getting bored/tired while moving about. Both involve intentional variety/uniqueness, features of interest at regular intervals, shortcut travel methods, landscape features to encourage travel to desired locations, etc.

In many ways, this kind of design thinking could be useful in designing real-world spaces as well.

I don't think they really care what people think until it becomes a really major issue. MS has been through this these fazes so many times in the past and look at were they are. It doesn't seem to have slowed them down that much.

That lock in of the 90's never really stopped, they just figure out how to make it look better. The only times they gave up on the lock in was when it was starting to look really bad and even then they just pivot the messaging and then try to lock themselves in. Look at MS with "We love Linux", it didn't slow Windows down one bit.
> Nix has the same problem as Terraform: it solves a lot of problems, but you have to 'live and breathe' their DSL.

I find it much more pleasant to live and breathe the NixOS configuration than to live and breathe someone else's OS. It's a bit like a woodworkers workshop. Do you prefer to have someone else configure the workshop or do rather tune it to your use-cases over time?

> You're no longer learning/maintaining Linux - you're learning and maintaining Nix.

I disagree. I learned more Linux fundamentals with NixOS (and via that the Arch documentation) than I learned from running Ubuntu.
Which is perfectly fine - 100 million concurrent users aren't the same for app x and app y, as the business logic the backend run isn't also the same.

Not saying it can't handle everything as well. Just saying the modularity of microservices makes it, in my pov, easier to handle large complex real time systems.

Maybe that's also something that comes with experience - as a rather "newish" guy (professional SE, so one level above Jr), it makes it easier to work on our project.
Creative people will be using LLMs and other models as new and exciting creative tools.

For some reason, I am very fascinated by the architecture of PS3. Its complexity makes RPCS3 the most impressive emulator in my eyes. Though to be fair, all emulators are impressive one way or another.
Actually it supports multiple user accounts with ability to switch among them, each application runs under its own process account, it has multiple ways to execute background processes, it uses OS IPC among several kinds of workflows, since Treble each device driver runs in its own process, it is possible to request a wake lock, Android Things was a headless version of it,....

Looking at Inferno and replacing Limbo with Java/Kotlin, it could be made to work.

How much it would add over any UNIX clone + Java/Kotlin? Maybe a safer userspace.

Would it be worth the trouble? Probably not.
If you like the idea of Nix but are "meh" about the language, you could check out Guix, which does the same thing as Nix but with Guile (Scheme) as the configuration language.

As I understand the 'cipher' is in how you find the next tiny piece of stream. I haven't grasped fully how that works for Youtube but it is certainly more than 'increment a counter'. I believe it is something like 'read a variable in the previous packet and decode it'.

If they wanted any semblance of an argument, decoding that variable should require a session key that is set on log-in or after a captcha. But I doubt they do that, it would be a horrible hassle to handle the session dependant encoding.
And then you get countries like France where they refuse to extradite probable child sex offenders.
The problem of memory management is largely trivial _if_ you are in a small clean opinionated private codebase without cruft, collaborators, third party code, ...? :)

Google et al have been working on sanitisers etc because, even in well kept codebases with strict coding standards that are rigorously applied in reviews, memory bugs do actually creep in.

> given how powerful the human nature to find an in-group is

this is true as a general behavior, but its practical relevance is highly variable and culture dependend. For the longest span of our existence tribes routinely attacked eachother, decapitating for fun, enslaving for profit, and it was deemed ok.

by and large we dont do that anymore, though this is the instictual behavior being tapped to support, e.g., organized large scale war.

anything as large scale as organized war, any form of economic and political organisation might be building on primal behaviors but is not equivalent to them. a lot of cold calculation, ideology and even trial-and-error is involved and the end result is highly variable.

education, factual information and candid discussions between people is what will help us ensure in and out-groups are confined to sports and games and do not put our collective welfare at risk
I’d argue that while a string is thread safe, this is not actually a string yet.
> The routing of just load balancing is much simpler than the routing of exectution jumping between many microservices

Not necessarily at all, i.e. using GRPC it's all self discovered.

> I agree, but a microservice architecture starts you out at a higher complexity.

Definitely

> That can also be done by having that business logic live in its own library.

That's true, having it in it's own library is certainly a possibility -> but then it's also not that far off micro/macro services anyway, except you deploy it as one piece. And basically this is my argument: If you're having it all as libraries, and you all work in a mono repo anyway, the only real difference between micro/mono is the deployment, and that with micro you _could_ independently scale up whatever the current bottleneck is, which we've used plenty of times
The suggestion you're making is that rather than recognise abuse of power, that instead this is an excuse for individuals to commit unnamed crimes.

So I thought I'd start at the most basic example: Police that have used government databases to spy, stalk and harrass: ex's and attractive women they saw in public. This is barely scratching the surface in the many ways that information of totally innocent people has been misused.

USA:

Creepy cop saw attractive woman on the road and 'looked up her license plate number so he could stalk her on Facebook'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2178556/Officer-Jef...

This list is of course not exhaustive. There are simply too many examples to cite here.

There are no "good guys and bad guys", that is an infant's-level understanding of crime. Rather all systems need to be designed assuming that bad actors may access them. This means that "red tape" and oversight is needed, as well as ensuring that not too much information is pooled into a single system.

The information that Facebook/Google learns about their users far exceeds what governments have allowed in their own systems. Privacy advocates are right to be concerned about access to these systems.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is an alternative way to describe a system that is equivalent to copy on write, but with ahead of time analysis on reference counting, which means we can eliminate most of reference counting. We have this kind of analysis is already done in reference counted languages like Swift which also do copy on write.

It's not the Boogeyman you think it is. You used to have to buy a game for $60 and if you didn't like it? Well too bad, that's $60 down the drain. Now you can just move on to the next one.
