It would be unfortunate if we were unwilling to call design choices dubious and learning from past mistakes instead of rationalizing why they're actually fine. I don't know Elixir but you're telling me in 2023 I'm supposed to learn that a language calls anonymous functions with a different syntax than regular ones and not be annoyed? Like.. that just sucks. If you have to do it that way for unfixable reasons, at least deliver the bad news with an apology instead of a white lie about why it makes perfect sense.

“Income taxes” are only about 57% of federal taxes on income. And the other 43% are bottom-weighted payroll taxes.
This worked well on Vienna, but government run housing has a very bad rep in this country that imo will make it hard to pull this off. NIMBYism is the biggest obstacle here anyway and it’s largely being pushed by the government which also concerns me. In the end as long as more housing I being built I’ll be happy

Ehh you're right, but they don't really have to address showstopper issues. There isn't a lot of upside value in "human issue ranking" as a scrutiny tactic to a donation. Charitable donations aren't public negotiations like they are if you're talking about gov/public funds. Just take the money on offer and build some lovely green spaces.
Never attribute to irony what can be attributed to fuckery.

I don’t know Bezos or Amazon’s stance on cops but I do know that corporations loooooove police - it’s where cops came from. I wouldn’t be surprised if this infusion is specifically to detract from the bad press of Cop City.

Oh wait, I do know Amazon’s stance - I was lying, you see. Amazon, via Ring, has really cozied up to law enforcement. The terms of what they can and can’t do with your data have gotten looser and looser when it comes to sharing data with LE, and this includes the Neighborhood app or whatever. Crime on your street? Ring can hand over all recording data from that time from the cameras on your street without the owner’s consent.

So, given this, I’d be very curious to know how much influence this will have on City (sorry about the emoji, I have an auto replace and got tired of “fixing” it). I’d also be curious to know if similar Urban Warfare centers are planned on the other four locations, as the one in Atlanta is certainly being watched closely by other departments looking to get in on the action (and tax dollars!) of simulating high speed chases and no knock raids!
I'm not sure I buy your claim that rum was ever used to 'disinfect' fresh water on British Navy ships. The 'grog' mix they used was not of sufficient ABV to disinfect the water, as it was handed out at a 4:1 ratio of water:rum. It was moreso about making the daily rum ration difficult to hoard, and much more efficient to transport than beer or wine.

It's pretty telling that you listed only a single example product, and one which was first released twenty-eight years ago, and also one which raised venture capital.

Just because dual-licensing has been successful in a very limited number of exceptional situations, does not mean that it is a reproducible path towards building a sustainable software business.

Also keep in mind:

* MySQL hasn't been an independent business for over 15 years. AFAIK there is no public information on its revenue or profitability.

* Much of Oracle's recent work on the product has been on MySQL Heatwave, which is only available as a managed service.

* Most MySQL Community Edition commits come from Oracle.

* Meanwhile the company behind MariaDB, arguably a more "open" fork of MySQL, is having financial problems and may well end up having its stock de-listed soon.

* The non-open-source Business Source License was originally created by MariaDB for their MaxScale product. The license's existence is fully backed by Monty Widenius, original creator of MySQL.

To be clear, I'm not saying any of the above to criticize Oracle or MariaDB. Rather, just pointing out that a general statement of "dual licensing with xGPL is the best way to go" is not really backed by the facts on the ground.

I must ask, do you run a commercial open source business yourself?
Two things that helped me early in my career:

- Going to open-source libraries I was relatively familiar with, looking at commit #1, and then moving forward in time. (This works best when the project started on GitHub, rather than the first commit being a giant single-commit import of a released version.)

- Strangely, "Working Effectively With Legacy Code" gave me some generally useful tips on actively probing large codebases (instead of just trying to learn them by reading.)

My understanding is that it’s the preferred way for a lot of frontend engineers to build their experiences. It gives a lot of freedom and reduces entire classes of bugs due to the type system.

Edit: to elaborate; “a lot of freedom” means an entire schema instead of pre-negotiated contracts, potentially reducing back and forth between frontend and backend.
Regex-guided gen is slick… is it arbitrary? Or are you custom building it for json?

If arbitrary, how are you pre-defining a set of masks? I would expect that splitting an arbitrary regex into a bunch of contexts for a masking dictionary to be non-trivial.
Yeah, I often like to emphasize that many "scheduled events" are not simple numbers, but pattern-matching conditions, a contract of triggering-rules for something an unknowable number of elapsed seconds from "now."

To be specific, it's "whenever the desk-calendars and wall-clocks in that jurisdiction will say X because the local government says so."

The government of Bizarro São Paulo could decide to pause the clocks at 1:00PM, wait for one sunset and one sunrise, then set their clocks to 12:00PM, and then advance it by one "minute" every time a rooster crows until it reaches 12:10pm at which point they skip straight to 3:00pm.

When is your schedule your 2PM wall-clock meeting? Probably around the tenth rooster-crow. If you had reason to distrust the clock-culture of Bizarro São Paulo, you shoulda made it a different timezone. :P
Thank you for the insightful topic! By reading the question itself drive me think a lot.

For the database perspective, instead of dividing the table schema into 3 parts: id, metadata, embedding, we designed in a way closer to SQL, treat vector as another data type, and let user to define any number of fields in a table. ID is just an annotation of a field (composite key might be overkilling for now). There will be another debate on whether schemaful or schemaless is the right approach, we can leave it here for now

With this foundation, we already covers 1 and 2. And in our roadmap we also plan to cover 3, with multi-modal data type support. We think the real big advantage of embedding is on unstructured data (documents, images, video, audio, etc), and storing the embedding of multi-modal data and connect them through semantic relevance will open up big opportunities. And this fits with the table and fields-based design for introducing cross table embedding index on connecting different shape data.

And from the multi-modal data perspective comes the problem where do we store those data? One way is we provide a generic binary data type that let users put anything. Another way which most enterprise will do is integrate us with a larger data warehouse/data lake system. And this opens up the requirement for us on supporting data streaming in/out with kafka connector, spark connector, etc.

And totally agree that SQLite works so well in huge amount of scenarios, now there is DuckDB. We also see some other players like LanceDB taking this approach to be Vector DB space's SQLite. We are also pretty close to announce our Python in-process package support, so docker / a separate server is not a must have anymore.

For inference, this is a broader direction for us for now. We are open to explore this space and see if the serverless architecture on cloud can provide extra efficiency benefit to the market

I am a bit rusty on the specifics of the BEAM's registers (the VM that Erlang and Elixir run on) but IIRC the short version is these are registers in a VM and the VM takes care not to let them clobber.

Also, in the BEAM, intra-module and inter-module calls operate differently.

The Erlang/OTP did a blog post on this a little while ago which I think is great: https://www.erlang.org/blog/a-brief-beam-primer/

Here is some useful info:

> BEAM is a register machine, where all instructions operate on named registers. Each register can contain any Erlang term such as an integer or a tuple, and it helps to think of them as simple variables. The two most important kinds of registers are:

> * X: these are used for temporary data and passing data between functions. They don’t require a stack frame and can be freely used in any function, but there are certain limitations which we’ll expand on later.
> * Y: these are local to each stack frame and have no special limitations beyond needing a stack frame.

Ask HN: Platform for Measuring Accuracy and Efficacy of Generative AI APIs
Lately, I have been thinking that customers interact with a foundational model aka Large Language Model (LLM) via APIs. Given that these APIs are inherently stochastic, due to the generative nature of AI, it becomes essential to find an accurate method for evaluating the accuracy of these Generative AI Agents. Some domains like healthcare, finance and legal will require a high accuracy for these APIs.

Thus, I am thinking about building a platform to test GenAI APIs to test for accuracy, efficacy and finding regressions like latency, changes in token size etc. Additionally, the platform should be able to support A/B experiments for release and Canaries for continuous monitoring.

I'm writing this message to seek thoughts, feedback, mentoring etc.
It would be quite interesting to see what got funded, if they let us pick projects to fund while doing our taxes. It might even be a worthwhile experiment to do; let tax payers decide how to allocate, say, 10% of their taxes.

> The state began and rested its defense on the same day, bringing the trial to an unexpectedly early close on June 20. In a pivot from its expected defense disputing the climate science behind the plaintiffs’ case, the state focused instead on arguing that the legislature should weigh in on the contested law, not the judiciary.

Wait until the State starts making changes to make this true. I am glad the youth won... but they only won the battle. The greedy capitalists will win the war by getting people in office to change everything they need so that none of this matters.
The mouse lag was related to how, for various reasons, instead of doing local compositing of the mouse pointer, it had to be sent back to server, composited there, and sent back again, just to enable nice shadows. That was one such setting.

As for the time I implemented the setup - we tried to deliver as good environment as we could given physical and regulatory constraints available. Our solution meant that people could move around, use their preferred environments for all other work, while not having "sad men from german federal government" showing up if, for example, they lost a laptop on a train. This also meant that they could work on the data from home (which became extra important as COVID hit) instead of closed off section of few offices where they might have to undergo searches at entry and exit.

Personally I nearly risked the job myself just to deliver on the promise that the end user was never asked for a password after initial login (or when unlocking the screen).

We also did use the environment ourselves because sometimes it was easiest way to connect there at all.

You can do VDI right - but usually the reason to even spend money on anything non-token is because there are really important reasons to go that way. And it's not like you're going to be allowed to do whatever you want on a laptop if you're going to touch sensitive data.

> I no longer feel the need to hire juniors.

This seems to be contradicted by the text that follows.
The connection between atmospheric CO2 and warming was actually identified as early as around the year 1900.

I wasn't around then to have a sense of the broad social awareness of things, but I've gotten the impression that the science was fairly obvious before the 1970s.
Normally I think it's lame when a product-for-a-product (there's probably a better term) has to abide by stringent branding guidelines to not look official. e.g. when third-party reddit clients (RIP) had to change from e.g. "Reddit Sync" to "Sync for Reddit" and they weren't allowed to use the Snoo character in their branding.

But in this case... why was Discord fine with this branding? It looks unabashedly like an alternate official domain for their own service. Googling "what is discord.io" leads to a good handful of confused redditors asking if it's legit/safe.
To be fair, until about 1990 the problem was virtually unknowable if you weren't a climate scientist working on cutting edge research yourself or were in the board room of the oil company that apparently had this investigated and then chose to make the most of their remaining time. I can't fault two entire generations for greenhouse gas emissions from before then, and after it became common knowledge, I can understand that society-wide transitions are genuinely hard.

However, I do fault most able-bodied rich people (almost everyone who's reading this is in the world's top 10%) for, after it became known, barely even trying beyond a direct financial benefit to themselves in the short term (like solar panels on an otherwise idle roof which will yield a net profit in a handful of years)

I don't know, but I imagine accelerometers work ok for cars on roads, but less so for meandering pedestrians in alleys and semi-enclosed shopping plazas.
As someone that lives in an underserved community... the most impactful thing any billionaire could do is to just give the people living in these communities money directly.

Trees are one of those things we know have some impact on quality of life, whether they're mental health benefits from spending time in nature, or temperature impacts in urban areas (poorer neighborhoods have less vegetation, and therefore locally get hotter due to so called "heat islands")... but obviously people here don't care about trees because they're much further down on the hierarchy of needs than the wealthy. When you're worried about making rent you don't have time for trees.

So someone like Bezos sees a high-profile pat-on-the-back environmental project... which conveniently fulfills the "I know what you need better than you do" mentality that the wealthy generally hold over the poor... and tada! poor people get trees.

GraphQL is another one of those "perfect technical solutions" that ends up being annoying as hell. Basically, managing multiple different endpoints is complicated, so they wanted to make one interface for multiple endpoints. But that one interface is now complicated, whereas before each of the multiple different endpoints was simple.

I would suggest avoiding it until you're certain you need it, and consider how annoying it might be for the user. (Don't make me learn a language, then syntax check it, just to ask your API to give me some basic info)
