I’m over here with a 60Mbps connection, and I do fine. Faster would be nice a few times a week for huge downloads, but those are rare in my workflow.

Curious how you got value out of 300Mb, let alone Gb? I feel like I’m missing out and don’t know it.
Fuck that. I have ADD and they distract from what I actually need to be paying attention to: the view out the front of the car, the mirrors, and my blind spots.

We've been coming back around to the idea it's not the sodium but the chlorine that's the problem in hypertension. Hypertension is one of those areas we like to pretend like we know what we're doing but it's half bullshit and accidental boner pills.

That comes at the cost of increased unnecessary bandwidth and battery usage though.

As a developer I'm much more interested in optimising for that than accommodating a minor improvement to the experience when experiencing connectivity issues.
Yes! The code you deploy should be compiled with stuff like -Werror or whatever will stop the deployment if a warning exist. It's fine for development but it encourages lazy practices. Any accepted warning should be explicitly declared in code.
>What about our stack makes you worried about the "enough tech savvy people to fork" piece?

Cryptography/cryptographic primitives/secrecy preserving architectures are a bitch and a half. :) Toss on top of having the mind/frustration tolerance to put yourself through the wringer to make all that happen without a slip up, then you run into the really hard part of taking all of that and getting regular people able to grok the thing, which takes empathy, a genuine capacity to care for the end user's time/experience, and the capability to synthesize a lotta minutiae into a limited interpersonal window. In my experience; the people with the technical chops to handle the former challenge almost always accrue deficits in the capacity for the latter, and an over abundance of the qualities to succeed in the latter aspect is almost always going to result in some level of talking past one another when dealing with your technical peeps.

It's a problem I've been ruminating on for quite a few years, because I know I'll have to solve it for my friends/family sphere before too long. The process of migrating my own mind from that crypto-weenie who actually knows what a key schedule or S-Box or what a Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange is, or what guarantees you get out of composing what primitives, who gets annoyed that other people just don't get it, or just can't be bothered to put up with a little inconvenience for the sake of reclaiming the privacy that everyone up higher in industrial hierarchy are fine with people not bothering to reclaim, to one that has the patience to sit there and try to render down for Grandma's and such that "doing this is the digital equivalent of putting something in an envelope, that will only open for the person on the other side" is... Well, not fun. It's work.

That's it I guess. I'm just now getting around to wrangling some of what were cutting edge primitives of 5 years ago, because I've lived 'under a rock' trying to get non digital natives up to speed is all. I don't believe just leaving them to die out is an acceptable approach, because if we want this to really catch on from the bottom up, you have to take cryptography, and make it easy enough a child can understand and operate it. That's hard.

It's part of why my peers think I'm nuts. I still try to tackle things like that. Computers should be bicycles for the mind. Not the Wizard of Oz.

I'll be keeping an eye on y'all. You've officially intrigued me.
Best quote: "People working for Didi apply for intern jobs at Uber China and then exfiltrate our data. We can’t let them see the formulas or they’ll just copy what we do!”

This is so true. People in the US just don't understand the level of economic and industrial espionage that happens in China on a daily basis. I was responding to an unrelated breach at an unnamed tech company back in mid-2000s time frame and had a side bar conversation that went like the following:

Them: "Yeah, we just opened a tech center in Xinjiang and ... wow, we've had quite the rash of lost ID badges there recently"

Me: "Have you considered that they're not 'lost', but rather 'sold' for profit?"

... silence ...

I don't know if executives are aware but just don't care, or if they're simply incompetent, but China has productized industrial espionage on a massive scale. GE Aviation was a victim more recently: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2022/11/16/accused-chi...

I'm still waiting for the point where EVs become objectively better than ICE cars in terms of range. Until then, I just won't even consider an EV. Like in the article it says it takes 45 minutes to charge even at a supercharger? No thanks. It would be acceptable if the actual range of the car was way ahead of ICE cars, but 450 KM (280 miles) is just not even close to your typical 16 gallon tank at 30 mpg. Other than fast acceleration I just see zero advantages to EVs. Believe me, I'm rooting for battery tech to improve dramatically just as much as anyone else, but after 20+ years of one hype-laden discovery after another with 0 to show for it, my hopes aren't exactly high.

Well, not just corporate espionage, right? State espionage is going to be at every large US company too. To speak to the article, I can only imagine how excited an agency would be to get real-time updates on the Uber movements of a target.
The trick is training a little, then augmenting with documents using RAG. The idea that a model alone can handle complex use cases is common, but usually wrong.

OK, I'll be less pedantic. I think it's just flat out wrong.

It was a red hot market about a year and a half ago. Prices were shooting up, and there was a frenzy of buying, with lots of people feeling FOMO for not buying a house. The situation now is completely different.

Housing prices rarely, rarely go down without widespread unemployment because people are so loath to sell at a loss. So the situation is a bit odd right now it that so many people can't move because interest rates are so high, but unemployment is still low so people aren't forced to sell. The reason prices have stayed relatively flat is because for the small amount of inventory that has come on the market there's still little reason to sell at a loss. That's still the opposite of any definition of a hot market.

If they should be treated as errors then how are the different than errors?

The only difference between a warning and an error is if it's ignorable to still proceed to execution. If it isn't it's an error, if it is, it's a warning.

If all warnings should stop builds then they are no longer warnings. And to be clear you can argue that point - that there shouldn't be such a thing as a warning. And that's a fair argument to make (regardless of if I agree or disagre), but saying "the build system should treat all warnings as errors" isn't really coherent.

> I'm sure you're aware of this, but price increases only require increased spending from customers if transaction volume is held constant

Reduced demand reduces prices. It's the Law of Supply & Demand at work.

The Law is always at work, even money is subjected to it. Increase the supply of money, and the value of a dollar drops accordingly. We see this effect as inflation.

In physics, we know that momentum is conserved. Any theory that deviates from that is wrong, even if we can't figure out why it is wrong.

Analogously, any economic theory that results in a "free lunch" is wrong. Any economic theory that denies the Law of Supply & Demand is also wrong. Bad government economic policies are nearly always the result of denying the existence of the Law of Supply & Demand, which is as doomed as denying the Law of Gravity.

Nothing stops the government from pretending that deficit spending is a free lunch, and they sell that notion at every opportunity. But the Law of S+D still applies.

The elephant in the room is the sheer size of the several trillions in deficit spending. There's just no way to ignore it and explain inflation away by suddenly every business is price gouging. It's not a compelling explanation at all.

A little over ten years ago I worked in the Excel Services team that makes the consumer-visible Excel Web App and also the SharePoint-integrated Excel Services product (server side processing accessible via API or web UI).

I loved seeing the genuine joy our PMs had whenever they found an honest to goodness calc bug and could get it reproduced and fixed in The State Machine. It was also a delight to see the web app approach parity with the desktop client experience -- we got to listen to a wide swath of users and build out the stuff we thought would be most useful to the most folks. And I loved our group PM's insight about what the heck Excel could be good for versus purpose built BI tools, other web sheet apps, pure SQL, etc.

This is a very fun kind of product to create and it's awesome that you were able to ship it in a way people could use!

That doesn't seem all that much work. Hardening things like that should be a dedicated job, but of course it doesn't "create value" so it's mostly left to rot until it's a source of bad PR.
Sure it’s shortsighted, but we’re all shortsighted, that’s the human condition. We can’t know all ends, which is why experience and judgement matter. The worst thing you could do is handwring over it though. Gather whatever data you can quickly leveraging the extent of your current expertise, make a call, implement and learn.

The author's scp at the end of the article hits 10 MB/s, which is about what I cap out at when transferring over SSH from my MacBook.

> That being said, for people with severe PTSD this is surely a godsend.

This seems a bit of a premature statement. The long term usage affects of MDMA use can be very costly, and I suspect long term use of something that provides artificial "feel good" emotion will have a tremendous downside for people who are already struggling with normality.

The problem is that you are claiming ownership of this code and by making it available on GitHub under an MIT license you are claiming that you have the right to do so.

If I take that code and make a billion dollar business out of it, Box or Uber could then claim a share of it. That's the kind of things that companies do with the lawyers on retainer.

I then sue you for falsely claiming that you own it. You are particularly fucked because, thanks to this thread, you can't claim that you didn't know.

Even in California the "I wrote it on my own time" doesn't apply to software that relates to an employer's core business. In other places, like Washington State, you could be employed to write TPS reports and write a video game at home, and your employer would own that too.

The only real argument is an argument against waiting.

That said, in a world of impending WASM, I don’t even know if TS on the browser makes sense. It seems like it won’t be long and we won’t need a JavaScript intermediary between TS and the browser at all.
I speculate high quality data can be compared to be similar via embeddings comparisons. By organizing the dataset using features, grouping the vectors by them, and ensuring the dataset relates to itself in a given domain by quality tags, we can speculate the data becomes better as we are more specific with our queries to it.

I need to train more models to see if this is an accurate claim, but I've been finishing up the storage layer and haven't gotten to that yet.

They drink wine on a daily basis in at least some of the blue zones where people regularly live to a hundred years old or longer. So it's not reasonable to say alcohol is relatively unsafe. Relative to what and in which circumstances?

As far as cannabis being "pretty darn safe", a recent study shows it causes heart disease. And more than one study shows it increases the risk of heart attack for up to an hour.

What we really need is an end to prohibition, and continued funding for studies on the substances that are the most popular so folks can make the most informed choices.
Probably stuck in a shed, barn or other outbuilding that is infrequently used by the owner. Cat goes in while door is open, sleeps, resident leaves and closes door, cat is now stuck. The cat however will hear an approaching human and rush the door when it's opened next.

It happens to cats all the time when you live near farms, you either get used to it or learn to keep your cat indoor.

(If you only ever 'adopt' stray cats, it's a reasonable coping strategy to consider their presence somewhat ephemeral)

> Just cut out sweet foods and after not too long normal foods like bread will taste sweet

I don't really eat (or drink) that much sweet stuff at all, but I assume this is not-great industrial-scale bread you're talking about - with sugar added, not just a little salt, as a preservative; or for a shiny glazing.

There's no sugar in the regular bread I bake every few days/week, and unsurprisingly it doesn't taste sweet.

I really don't think any less sugar in my diet would change that (I'm not 'cutting' it, I just don't at all often have pudding, never sugar in my coffee, etc. I'd have to drop chutneys, fruit, wine to have much less).
So to rephrase: stage 1 - it finds the top k most relevant small chunks, stage 2 - it searches the source documents of those small chunks for most relevant large chunks, stage 3 - it searches medium chunks in the source documents of relevant small chunks that are contained in the large chunks found in stage 2?
Yea, it's just not gonna happen with a controlled dosage under supervision. People that over dose (as in take too much, not dying) can have a bad trip at least for an amount of time.

It was just a bubble. Austin was the ultimate "meme stock" during the pandemic years. Austin has a lot of good things going for it, but between things like Musk, Joe Rogan, "crypto bros", tons of Silicon Valley decampers, it just got way over-hyped.

One of the things Austin always had going for it was that it was a good value compared to bigger cities, but now that it's just about as expensive as those bigger cities, people are realizing the brutally hot summers, lack of easy access to mountains or oceans, relatively bland architecture and abysmal public transportation just make it overpriced.

It feels like there should be more to the lesson learned than, "people who have decided will act, people who haven't only talk," but I am not quite grasping it. Maybe the other part is, "and worrying about things you cannot change harms yourself," or something?

I did not know that.

I was just using serde as an example of a widely-used crate that feels essential enough to be included in the Rust standard library.

At what point does a third-party crate become so useful that it might be considered for inclusion in the Rust standard library?

Is there a process for adding crates to the Rust standard library?

If so, how do such crates get nominated and approved?
IANAL but I understand the distinction is:

2. I created a new original work from scratch, based on my experiencing doing it once or twice before. Independent work. Author owns it.
The architecture described in the article replicates the SQLite database on the page level.
To an extent.

Entrenched usage patterns sometimes deserve to be broken, bringing in a new method of operation facilitated by new tech can be a game changer.

I’m not in a position to say if this is the case here though, but for one example, a Tesla’s ability to cancel indicators once it’s seen you’ve completed a lane change operation seems to be a step forward. So at least they’re thinking of new methods of operation.

Change is uncomfortable, everyone will be somewhere on the curve, depending on where you are, you might love it or hate it.
