From the code, it s easy to see that you create a WRITE transaction which has the side effect of triggering READ transactions. It is also important to understand that if you mix reads and writes you cannot do it well concurrently with SQLite, so every transaction will be sequential and blocking. Looking at the code further I understand that it will not scale well, since a single write can possibly trigger a waterfall of callbacks creating bottlenecks. The problem in your case is that sqlite_update_hook doesn't transport back data and that it is listening for changes in all tables having ROWID optimisation on. So first things first you only need one such callback and a different approach for integrating it in a document abstraction than table name and rowid predicate in a dozen of registered callbacks.

You will unveil more problems with SQLite for this job as you dig deeper. What you really want is fast writes and dumb querying by document id, whereas SQLite gives you an ultra querying suite that you don't utilize but still have to pay with slower writes. This is a classic system-design problem. Just try rewriting your collection and document abstractions using proper document data storage and you will see how less complicated it is.
Yeah usually market provide different time horizons. I fail to see what is the substance of this article ...
They have an interesting second-to-first mover pattern.

Technically they are often a late mover, but with so much better market fit that they essentially create a new market definition in which they are clearly first.

When they get it right. They have their out of the gate failures too.
That's not comparable at all to 4.80% APY savings and checking accounts in the U.S. right now with far more flexible rules.

This kind of return on ultra flexible accounts is basically unheard of in most of Europe in recent memory as far as I know (born & lived in Europe as recently as 2019). What you describe are called Certificate of Deposit (CDs) in the U.S. and you can get 5.50% for those in August 2023 [1].

In my experience not wanting to mask unless there is a meaningful sense of risk is a phenomenon equally strong in India (for example) and so I do not believe it has to do with the western propaganda.

If you visited India after the first wave, most people masked, enforced by the police - as they should have. Soon after the 2nd wave (which was bad but resulted in near-endemicity(?)) - after vaccines where widely available and well accepted in India -and to this day, you will see a vast vast majority in India don't mask. A visible minority mask everywhere and are not looked down upon or derided because of it. There is no meaningful propaganda either way right now.
Our immune systems are constantly being activated by some of the hundreds of different endemic respiratory viruses. There's nothing special about SARS-CoV-2 in that regard. It's just one more.
I would even add “Based on studies in mice, D1 receptors might make for better targets than D2 receptors”
I think that might be a slightly different definition of "worthy" than most "normal" people accept. Of course, your luck surface area is largely in your own hands if you live in a western civilization. But the fact remains that life is stochastic. Let me know when you make your first billion, btw.
So the argument is:
1. The guy who started Brave has political opinions and has financially backed them.
2. He built a browser that blocked ads and then tried to monetize that.
3. His monetization scheme doesn't make much money for anybody but the company and makes it difficult for others to monetize.
4. The browser tried to increase revenue by steering users to affiliates (but did a poor job of it).

So to sum up, Brave is doing the same thing as Google except that they never figured out how to effectively serve ads to users, so they actually protect users from ads.

Stop using Brave browser. Seriously.
Welcome to the dawn of a new era in digital interaction! With the advent of Generative AI, we’re witnessing a remarkable revolution that’s changing the very nature of how we interact with software and digital services. This change is monumental. Leading the charge are the latest generation of AI-powered virtual assistants, aka “AI copilots”. Unlike traditional narrow AI models, these are capable of understanding user needs, intents, and questions expressed in plain, natural language.

We are talking about nothing less but the next evolution in software design and user experience that is driven by recent advances in generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Bard, or Anthrophic’s Claude.
Article says Amazon accounts for >50% while China accounts for 40%, so Amazon actually has >80% outside China. I wonder why Microsoft and Google aren’t as eager to stop paying the x86 tax.

Unity acquired Weta; Epic collaborated with movies themselves, to the point that their CTO even played as an extra in the latest Matrix movie. I think that is the distinction they were going for here.

Currently, Weta is an outsider. Even internally, the acquisition had raised eyebrows among the trenches. The decision was criticized quite a bit by game developers using Unity as well. Unity itself is also somewhat troubled direction wise; their biggest product is a game engine, but their biggest revenue source is ads. They merged with an ad company recently, and purchased a movie VFX studio. They seem ready to pivot to whatever tech trend that they can catch.

> With your "Unity... Well.", what did you mean? Weta and and Unity aren't doing this?

I would say that "Epic is deeply invested in building stuff for the movie industry," while Unity isn't. Weta may be established in the movie industry, but the Weta Unity bought is the tool division, not the VFX division. Weta tools is also an acquisition, and does not create waves throughout Unity like how movie production make waves inside Epic. It is the difference between an acquisition to compete, and a vision to expand.
I agree the claim isn't going to happen.

> Which rather begs the question: who the hell is the audience for this?

In my opinion audience for code-generation AI are developers, not the general public. It's immensely useful to be assisted by AI to autocomplete and suggest my code. Whether that is because I'm not familiar with a language syntax or just don't have all the language API in my head.

The general public isn't going to have a clue how to put things together, and until AI can generate reliable and fully functioning code I doubt this is ever going to be for the general public. AI right now is essentially the combination of Google+StackOverflow for me but in a much faster pace. Instead of browsing through tens of SO questions and Google links to get to the exact situation I'm in I can just prompt the AI with all the details and get one response that has the answer to my problem, usually!

> Also important to note is that the Wason selection task has a fairly poor success rate with actual humans: the original study was 36 students of statistics at the University College London, of which less than 10% got the correct answer - if you asked the general population on the street I would be shocked if you got over 3% correct.

Just so I know if I'm part of that 10%, you'd have to turn all cards that show a multiple of 4 to check, right...?
While I can see the merit in discussing the issue of where to store the second factor, what I see much less often discussed is the story on the "tooling" side.

For example, on PyPI, to upload stuff, you need to generate a token. Now you have effectively a single factor, which requires as much care as a regular password.

I’m surprised it’s that many people. I’d be interested to know if the displaced people primarily lived near the railroad. Colon was a small city back then so I did not think it could be so many people. We in the Zone weren’t taught much about the darker side of the building of the canal.

None of the things listed are essential for "a good product".
I spent 6 months trying to learn Unity and 6 months trying to learn Unreal after that and it really shows that Epic use the engine themselves. It shows in how there's usually a "default" way to do things instead of 3 different half-integrated tools for everything, it shows in the sensible defaults, in the documentation... It's also pretty evident that the engine was designed with first person shooters in mind, but I find it easier to adapt Unreal to a different genre than to figure out the best way to do anything in Unity.
Woah, thank you. I have always set dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to False, which does the job permanently and for every website. But some websites require you to en-/disable it again and this shortcut is a nice little QoL improvement.
I wish there was a complete list of "hidden" features like that.

Either way, I'm glad that it's both open data and open code (Wikipedia: creative commons; OpenStreetMap: open database license; both: some open code license) so that we at least have options, should it be necessary, even if it's an uphill battle to divert attention from a spoiled brand
> With your "Unity... Well.", what did you mean?

Weta was an entity of its own for longer than Unity as a company has been around. Unity bought them (well, the tech assets) as a reaction to Epic moving into and firmly setting up shop in the film business.

I mean, Mandalorean had already shot season one with Epic's tech before Unity woke up and decided/realised that it's being left behind [1].

Unity is a game engine company that hasn't produced a single game, moving into film making tools by never producing, and only acquiring, film making tools as a reaction to competition. Competition is good, but is Unity a company that can actually compete in this space? I hope so, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

What syllogism of yours am I meant to be having trouble with here?

Would you like to qualify your attempt to impugn my intelligence rather than countering my argument as something other than what I called it? The "fallacy fallacy" is a rather silly thing to cite in this connection; while there's merit in the point that a fallacious argument does not necessarily err in its conclusion, as far as I can tell you have not made an argument here. It is difficult to respond on substance whose presence is not yet evident.
This is really funny - it's bordering on truly absurd, almost incomprehensible madness to consider doing this seriously. I can't think of a single property you'd desire in a control system (state observability, auditability, guarantees on out-of-band input behaviour, stability under shocks, etc, etc) that would be present in an LLM control model.

I don't want to be disrespectful to the authors, and it's (vaguely) interesting to see how far they've been able to go with this, but this idea is still an abomination.
Do people actually symlink /bin/dash to /bin/sh? That would be extremely stupid.
It is hard to summarize the whole thing together because there were many subtle things going on, but one thing was how they acted differently when they noticed humans were not around. E.g. escaping barb-wire fences that looked like they would hold them to get that good gras next to the hut only to vanish back behind the fence when the sound of the farmers car was heard. They knew what was allowed and what was not allowed.
> labs all over would be putting in some weekend hours to muck about.

That's unfortunately not how science is incentivized.

The lab reproducing this would get exactly zero academic credit. Maybe a day of press fame, but that's it.

On the other hand, once/if this is proven to be real, there would be thousands of labs racing to improve it and cite each other's work.
I regularly see cows opening gates with their tongues, walking through the pasture to their favourite tree stump for an ass-scratching, then walk back through the gate and push it closed. Smart cows, these ones. Not to be underestimated.

Critical staging code amount. Like that.
At some point you might want to consider "pivoting" to a gigantic database of all dead humans: there would be fewer data protection and privacy issues!

I have sometimes wanted to trace people's ancestry, or, more often, the descendents (of the parents) of a person who died half a century ago. It's depressing how difficult it is to look these things up. Various companies try to sell access to public records, but I don't do this often enough to be interested in paying for a subscription.

With something like this you should really also publish exactly where the information came from. There's a big difference between "an anonymous contributor supplied this" and "this comes from a database that we downloaded from whatever.gov.uk on this date and here's a copy of that database in case you want to check".

Some things that almost everyone is already aware of but I'll mention them anyway:

* The concepts of "first name" and "last name" only apply to some cultures.

* Most people have more than one name: women who change their name when they get married, middle names that may or may not get mentioned, names that are frequently abbreviated ("Kate" might be "Kate" or "Catherine" or ...), punctuation and diacritics that may be modified or omitted, Macdonald/McDonald/Mac Donald/..., various ways of transcribing the same name from a different alphabet, ...

I think this is a trap for engineers inexperienced with Bash. You can (and should of course) use ChatGPT to be more productive in writing bash scripts, but as was said in the previous discussions, bash contains so many traps which you won't be able to spot.

Bash's dangers might be exacerbated by using ChatGPT, since you'll rely on the tool and you might not be able to understand what's wrong if shit hits the fan.

I'd recommend not using bash for anything other than the simplest tasks, as per Google's Shell style guide [0].

??? have YOU ever been to italy?
from my experience banks are totally going to lend you money for you mortgage if you have a non-temporary contract that covers 80% of your house cost.

you just need to have roughly 30% of the house cost cash and a stable job that pays enough, but with a 1.3k net salary (median income) and 30k you can totally buy a 110k home

Does that mean you're all running asahi linux, or are you somehow running linux elf binaries on macOS?

Yeah, I’m talking about Italy specifically here. You know.. the birthplace of modern banking.
So, this is Unity's equivalent of 3D Max and Maya?
Sure, but you don’t need to handover full capability for it to be sufficient. That’s why I noted an arbitrary limit on mileage once the procedure is engaged — you can imagine all sorts of arbitrary other limitations; eg once in 24 hrs, limited featureset, auto-enabled tracking, flags to server that it’s been engaged, etc.
> There is no meaningful propaganda either way right now.

In Europe, in some places, there is and it's sometimes more or less subtle. Local supermarket I go to has a sign "masking is no longer mandatory but it's okay to wear a mask if it makes you feel safer". Which is not how masks are supposed to work (we were told to mask to protect others) and it shouldn't be about feelings.

Meanwhile the cleaning cart station (that sprinkles cart bars with soap/disinfectant) is collecting dust in a corner. I think it would have been nice to keep that from the covid period. But no, we have to erase memories of it.
> Catholicism says debit bad, and the country is pretty conservative as a whole.

From Wikipedia:
"The present era of banking can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the centre and north like Florence, Lucca, Siena, Venice and Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th-century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe."

. . .

"The word bank was taken into Middle English from Middle French banque, from Old Italian banco, meaning "table", from Old High German banc, bank "bench, counter". Benches were used as makeshift desks or exchange counters during the Renaissance by Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions atop desks covered by green tablecloths."

VMs through things like Docker for Mac, in our case.

And yes - it’s exactly the same as you can do if you use x86 servers and dev machines.

It’s just the fact that we can also do this for ARM on hardware that doesn’t suck that makes using ARM in production more practical for us.
I think a lot of Android devices have that; you type ##4636## into the dialer, and a menu appears. In that menu, you can select which cellular technologies are used.
That is virtually of a tautology. It doesn't really tell people what to do.

Because working really hard by itself, is often not worth much.

But knowing what the right thing is involves the luck of having the right mind, experience, resources, life arrangement, physical health, mental health, etc., to both see and be the right person to execute on something not apparent to others.

I am not saying people don't need to overcome whatever is holding them back, but people with a lot of enabling context are simply going to do much better statistically than people with much less ideal starting points.

Overall, a good sense of fundamental principles demonstrated.

Particularly:

"Use .shape religiously. assert and plt.imshow are your friends." Thank you. You should always assert pre and post conditions of shape. (Do bear or typeguard allow you to do this using decorators?)

Some nits:

"Before you even look at the paper, pick a small, simple, and fast model that you've done in the past. Then make a helper function to evaluate the model qualitatively." Don't you mean quantitatively? So that you establish a numerical baseline against which you can compare the more advanced method.

"Start by picking apart different components of the paper, and then implementing them one-by-one, training and evaluating as you go." Can you be precise what you mean here? A lot of work is like: "Okay we tried 10 changes things [for unspecified reasons], some major and some minor, to get our final thing, and here's an ablation study to show how much we lose if we remove each piece." If you would say: "Implement the meat first (the major architectural change fundamental to the work, i.e. the ablation study line-item all the way at the bottom with no seasoning or spices on it)" then yeah, that's a good place to start. But you can't start with a broccoli recipe, switch to a meat recipe, and taste it halfway before it's done cooking and you haven't flipped it, you're not going to learn much. This sort of advance is better framed as: "Evaluate each time you make an atomic change to the approach, prioritizing changes in the order that had the most impact in the ablation study from easiest to hardest, respecting the DAG in which certain changes can be made."
I wouldn’t define Italy as highly conservative especially the north where most of economic activity is concentrated. If we did that we’d have to say that some Eastern European countries are “ultra” conservative.

> Not sure if that explains their financial problems, probably not.

I would say Switzerland is pretty conservative as well (if not more in some aspects but less in others)
