A particularly tricky case of this is with usernames and user defined content.

Eg, a notification like "Alice is online" in some languages requires knowing Alice's gender. Which may be something that's not even stored anywhere in the system. There's probably some language out there that requires some other piece of personal info for a correct translation.

To make things tricky, try having a multitude of items that you refer to: "You're holding a dagger". Now you need to have a serious discussion with your translators, because this is going to get all kinds of tricky, as the maker of Obra Dinn discovered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMi6xgdSbMA

And to make things extra-tricky, allow users to create content. "Alice gave you a banana", where "banana" is a custom object Alice made herself.

Most translation efforts seem to give up at this point and resort to something stilted like "Alice: online"

That is very helpful. Thank you. Most of my exposure to Lisp has been Scheme and Racket and minimal at that. Are these images you describe something that is part of a particular distribution of Common Lisp?
> for example: SRAM vs DRAM? Intel went all in on DRAM.

This isn't really how it went. There was never a future with hundreds of megabytes of SRAM as it requires significantly more die area to produce and more power to use, making it significantly more expensive. The entire point of caches was because we couldn't afford to just make everything SRAM. Even today, we are only just getting to the point where you might have a few hundred megabytes of SRAM on the most expensive server CPUs.
Not that it makes much of a difference, but Rust does compile to 32-bit platforms.

Same. That has tripped me so many times when trying out something simple in golang.

You seem to equate government with the wealthy elite? If not, do you think, there is anything positive, the government is doing? If nothing, what kind of political system do you propose?

And the question was, if it is possible for a lowly citizen today, to do anything against the all powerful leviathan. And yes, you can. And I would argue, easier than in the roman empire. But easy? Surely not.
Thanks and I have heard the same it's much like the proper old sources like Herodotus or Josephus in that you are reading through a certain lense with artistic license. I got through the life of Samuel Johnson and there are definitely stylistic similarities from the era. I also got into The 12 Rulers of Byzantium back in the early podcast days so I hope that helps. Best part so far was descriptions of the old Roman footprint and what was there "now" as in 1780ish and needing to make another translation to the present. My how the times have changed(ish;)

Pgvector doesn't need to store everything in memory. It behaves similar to almost any Postgres AM's and store index data on disk. Performance-wise it's better to have enough memory for index data remain in shared memory buffers, but it is not a requirement for pgvector.
Well, that turns off all mitigations, so I guess it depends on whether you are concerned with some other vulnerabilities such as Spectre, etc.

Because there's essentially no evidence to support it, the cost is very significant and there are very real risks of adverse events. Most developed countries (and America in particular) have a very serious problem of over-medicalisation, over-diagnosis and over-treatment, which greatly inflates healthcare costs for no real benefit.

More broadly, what do we mean by "better person"? If we define it in the Californian sense of hyper-optimised self-actualisation, then long-term psychotherapy for clinically healthy people might plausibly deliver on that goal. If we mean a better friend, a better neighbour, a better citizen, then I think you'd be far better off spending an hour and $200 a week doing something towards those aims.

I suggest amplifying this with examples, citations and links, and sticking it in a blog post somewhere that people can comment on. OSnews springs to mind.

And you seem to be a good person to do it.

Don't leave it as a few hints in HN comments.

Even this response explains a little, but it's a tease: it has no citations, no links, no pointers, and no explanations of anything except my specific questions.

You really need to amplify this with 10x more background for a general audience.

But PLEASE do so. It needs to be recorded.

> The companies say driverless vehicles are safer than human-driven ones when it comes to passenger safety. They maintain none of the incidents cited by the fire and police departments have resulted in passenger injury.

Passenger safety is the same myopic view that allows car companies to build vehicles that are increasingly dangerous-for-pedestrians. It seems blindingly obvious to me that vehicular safety should include its effects on non-passengers.

What a disingenuous way to frame the issue. Driverless car companies should be bending over backwards to work with public safety departments, not this “move fast and break things” shit.

When you tilt the pinball table so companies that make nothing and promise the future are valuable (theranos, wework, TSLA for a long time, anything Kathy Wood buys) while under-valuing companies that make and do stuff now, you wind up hollowing out the use of resources on real things people need and spending it on stuff like NFTs.

>Why? IMO we should all avoid waste, whether that's plastic or energy.

Allow me to respond with a slight tangent:

Suppose you care about reducing plastic in the ocean. So you try to reduce your usage of plastic straws. You spend a whole lot of time convincing everyone you know to buy bamboo straws or such.

Plastic straws make up less than 0.1% of the plastic in the ocean. Meanwhile, fishing nets make up ~40%. Plastic straws are a hard problem to solve, and solving them accomplishes less than 1/400th of the fishing net problem.

And yet, we hear a lot about plastic straws but nothing about fishing nets. Why?

Because it's the more consumer-facing solution. It's vital that people focus on the solution that solves the problem, rather than wthe one that is most easily pointed to.

Should we do both? In theory, sure. But in practice people have finite time, and you have 30 seconds max before they start tuning you out, so you're better off giving your elevator pitch on fishing nets.

This is kind of the feeling I have gotten. I have donated for almost a year in the early days. But the more basic things don't seem to get attention.

Sure vulkan is nice. But it's much nicer that I can connect a screen or do a zoom meeting.

> An example might help: imagine you have a steel mill, and it makes just $1000 a year. Someone from Canada comes to you and says "I'll give you 50m for the mill, I want to take all the equipment to Canada where there is a shortage of steel". He will fulfil more demand at a better price by doing that (hence he will offer 50m for a steel mill that only makes a pittance in the USA). And you can't ake the 50mil and build something people actually need (like a refinery since gas prices are really high etc).

Except maybe there's a need for steel where the $1,000 plant is, too, and now they have to buy it more expensively from the moved plant. (Maybe it was a co-op.) The assumption that breaking even always means no demand is incorrect.

We grew up in an era where seemingly any TV show you wanted was on VHS, DVD, or netflix. Hard drives get cheaper every year. Now media only appears on streaming services and are silently removed from streaming services, and there are 10+ random services to subscribe to. The streaming services are all increasing their prices. The rest of economy is also inflating at the same time. For some people rent doubled while food only went up 20%. They may have spent $40/ month on various streaming services, but now the same streaming quality of life from streaming services may be $80 while their personal finance budget for streaming services was reduced by $1000 when everything else inflated. The marginal utility of a 8TB+ hard drive for flex/jellyfin and any VPN essentially doubled, and may continue to double several times if inflation and streaming scarcity continue to increase.

Some people may experience this as the digital great depression. I think other factors in the digital world may also cause this feeling.

If you have 10M or bigger dataset of real-world OpenAI- dimensional vectors, please share, I'll use it in the next benchmarks. Random datasets are too misleading for vector search benchmarks because all ANN engines make use of internal distributions in datasets to struggle with the curse of dimensionality. So I never use random datasets for ann indexed benchmarking. Using simplified less dimensional (eg 128 instead of 1536) vectors also changes performance trends.
Ah yes, fair point. It makes it a bit more subtle, in that the cases where you have to worry about integer overflows on the pointer addition, are cases where you have an array of 2^((64 or 32) - 1) bools... which seems rather silly to do a binary search on?

Why does OUL exist -- there are two _real_ stories.

[1]

Oracle wanted Jboss. RH bought JBoss, allegedly to spite Oracle. Oracle retaliated with a RHEL clone.

Side note: I used to work on some JBoss documentation. Probably a few lines I wrote are still in there. The strong feeling I got inside RH was "we hate Java and want to kill it." Weird when you're a staffer working on Java products.

[2]

Oracle was considering a hostile takeover of RH and launched a RHEL clone to make the share price drop.

It didn't work.

Note, these 2 theories are not mutually exclusive.

No, it uses 2’s complement and is well defined in release mode. From [1]:

Saying that you could have meaningful conversations with experts I would interpret as that the method works, and experts probably like talking about their domain as well with hobbyists even if theres an air of naive showmanship from the hobbyist. Some slight pretension is better than some saintly masochism where nothing happens at all from time and effort, as opposed to sharing cool stuff that people might otherwise not be motivated to look into if not for the sense of joy that a slight pretension can give socially as initial motivation. Sure earnestness is better but ego is convincing since many of us want to be just as confident, for a hobbyist to other hobbyist I give it a pass. If we were afraid of looking pretentious all the time we would share less beautiful experiences
