> There's a fourth metric that I'm really interested in: assuming it's possible, how long does it take to update the index with just one or two updated or inserted vectors?

Here’s a chart for INSERT latency (sorry about the formatting): https://docs.lantern.dev/graphs/insert.png

At the moment, we underperform Neon wrt this metric, but a better implementation is coming soon that will address this.

> Is the expectation with this (and the other) tools that I'll do a full index rebuild every X minutes/hours, or do some of them support ongoing partial updates as data is inserted and updated?

The HNSW algorithm updates the index after every insert. So all existing HNSW options (Lantern, pgvector, Neon, …) already support this.

With pgvector IVFFlat, you expect the performance to degrade over time, and you will need to re-index. This is because IVFflat’s index quality heavily depends on the centroids chosen at index creation time. HNSW does not have this limitation.

In both cases, you might want to do a full-index build to tune your hyperparameters.

We’re working on this in a few ways. One is automatic hyperparameter tuning. Another is supporting external index creation that would offload this to another server. Does this answer your question?
This looks great, will be giving it a go today to replace some increasingly complex bash scripts!
I’m not really paying attention so I’m likely about to put my foot in my mouth:

Aren’t phones kind of a mature product? What left is there other than just making the various numbers bigger?

Of course investors and companies want to sell you a phone every year. And they need compelling reasons to convince you too. But sometimes there just aren’t?

This is the part where I think corporations often screw themselves. They’re at the top of the mountain but they only know how to climb.

Lol, that article is really brilliantly hilarious. SNL should do a "Bizarro-World Breaking Bad" where Walter and Jesse go around buying up crystal meth so they can cook Sudafed.
Sounds about like my understanding of how disability works in the US, also. If you have one clear-cut showstopper it's not a problem but anything else expect to be denied and you probably have to hire a lawyer.
>Shares of Apple dropped 7.2% in the week leading up to the unveiling of the company's latest handset.

The shares have probably been dropping mainly due to rumors that China will be banning iPhone sales, which is a pretty big market for them. There usually isn't a single reason like the article is trying to attribute.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/08/china-iphone-b...

But China denies it. Sounds like market manipulation via media.

New York Times Connections Cheat Bookmarklet
TLDR, I made a bookmarklet to autofill connections answers. Why? Because I was doing an experiment teaching my own AI Model the words/answers to see if it could beat an out of the box ChatGPT prompt that was not fairing well against the tricky nature of the game itself (there's a lot of overlap between words intentionally). I figured i'd share it, even though you should still play the game legit. PS, I used jQuery and didn't write it as DRY as i'd like, two things that bother me, but it got the answers reliably to test against the AI models. Soon i'll publish the results of the AI model/ChatGPT and share here.

One of my coworkers showed me a fun something that was so obvious that it's one of those "now why didn't I think of that" tips on one of our international trips. When arriving at the destination airport, buy a bottle of whatever at the duty free shop. Consume that instead of any minibar items. The cost of one full size bottle will be cheaper than a single minibar charge. I don't know why, but hitting duty free was just in my head as only something to do when returning home. I just chalk it up to OJT!
> But it's declarative, which is really cool! What else would you realistically use for like, AWS infra?

Programing languages can be declarative too. As you already pointed, CUE and Dhall exist. (And lisp, and prolog...)

(And in fact, a lot of people just use Dhall anyway and derive the actual configuration files from it.)

> [When not selling access to the documentation,] It's not obvious to me how they would otherwise materially benefit.

Two ways come to mind:

1. Detailed expertise and brand-recognition would provide them an edge in selling consulting and training services.

2. Depending on how the legislature incorporated the standards, they would be in a position to promote/prevent future changes that benefit/disadvantage their stakeholders. Potentially a kind of regulatory capture.

I want to like Starlink, but there is no way the product can both continue to grow and also service customers at advertised speeds. It will literally only get slower over time. And it's already spotty.
You realize your "best example" is a joke, right?
A few years back, I came down with the flu and went to CVS for medicine. I purchased what I thought was a non-prescription alternative to Tamiflu. It was a bad case, and I dutifully followed the dosing instructions and took the medication throughout the whole illness. It turns out the product and the supposed function is complete homeopathic nonsense. It was sold in a medicine isle along with known "functional" cold medicine, and had some "Active Ingredient" listed on the back (similar to any other drug label.)

I spent my money on a product sold by a pharmacy that is quite literally a scam. I'm naturally a skeptical person, but I didn't think I needed to independently check whether what's on a pharmacy store's shelves is medicine or a scam. That's not my lane, I trusted that the pharmacy would only sell medicine that works.
There’s a line in the 90s movie the Paper where Michael Keaton’s character says, “A clipboard and a confident wave will get you into any building.”

I have to admit that I actually used that on occasion.

My wife gets confused with the metric crapton of USB-mini, USB-C, and Lightning cables we have bouncing around the house. The fact that her Mac takes USB-C while her iPhone and iPad take Lightning even flummoxes her sometimes. Consolidating on one cable type will be a boon to our household.
I had a Pismo and it was great, but IMHO the greatest of that generation was the 2400c which was the smallest powerbook, great for anyone who spent a lot of time flying around.

It was designed and built by IBM Japan, which was lucky for me when I spilled tea into mine...while I was in Tokyo. I was able to get a same day repair by walking it over to some random shop in the Akihabara (apple sent me there) where some guy repaired it while I watched.

While massive by today's standards, it was svelte for its time, and attracted stares whenI would pull it out. Great for operating on a plane too.

FWIW we simulate exports by instead having `main` call an imported function that blocks until it's ready to return with the needed data.

So instead of:

`host -> call foo on guest -> return to host`

`host -> call guest main -> call foo on host -> host returns when ready -> guest calls foo when done`

FWIW the scheduler (so goroutines) don't work in go if you're not calling from an main, so anytime you call a custom export then try to use a goroutine you'll get panics.

10x size is about the blowup we see as well. It's also likely to be slower (some of the Tinygo authors said ~20% slowdown compared to tinygo) probably due to the simpler/smaller runtime and LLVM being better at optimizing.
FYI, the ruby.png image is 19200 x 14400 pixels big. Luckily it's mostly white.

> you simply cannot extrapolate these results from the highly-responsible/functional group to the wider population.

I didn't?

> Finally, the "net societal gain" of $777 was only about 10% of the distributed cash, but ignores the cost of administering such a program and the costs of, and compensation to, the coaches and workshops (the $777 was simply based on "reduced shelter use"). Fully loaded, those costs would almost certainly exceed the modest reported savings.

Half of the cash group didn't receive coaching, and part of the control did, so some of the cost and effect of coaching is priced in. Its unfortunate that the study couldn't include analysis of all four original conditions but its possible the coaching and/or workshops had little effect on outcomes. It would be hard to gauge administrative costs from a small study but cash transfers generally have low administrative costs.

I don't think its a slam dunk but its definitely interesting enough to explore further, either for different levels of intervention or for other parts of the homeless population.

The myth of the expert is the lie that makes the world go round, and is largely responsible for people cutting a lot of terrible things a blank check.

Before you relinquish your claim of significance in a context on the pretext of not being an expert, keep in mind that the people who bill themselves as such have a vested interest in maintaining your distanced deference, and when really pushed, will usually be coaxable into running into some aspect of the problem space where they are decidedly not an expert.

Be an expert at living your life, and deciding what you want to see, don't, and doing everything possible to be informed, but never let anyone convince you that your input doesn't count. In point of fact, your willingness to let that be the case is just what the "experts" are counting on. Nothing incites more fear into those that think they know, and others just can't understand, than steadied, pressured, insistence to share it, and make it understandable.
Sure, but I would say that anything that is Turing-complete is not a good config language.

It is actually reasonably fair, it only costs around 1-2M $ to find one. You expect Apple to pay 100M $ for 1M $ of work?

The real question is why is Apple allowed to lie about providing meaningful protection against state actors when they only think it only costs 2M $ to break it. In no universe is 1/5 the cost of a tank even a road bump for a state actor.

The other question is why is their security so terrible. The short answer is that they demonstrably know nothing about security since this is the most they have been able to do after decades of work, billions of dollars, and repeated promises of meaningful security. When somebody spends billions of dollars and decades failing to achieve even 1/10th of what they promised, you should take any new statements as extraordinary claims and demand extraordinary evidence.

Both. But it's important to clarify that the publisher is not a victim of IBR, they profit enormously by having their standards take on the force of law. ANSI is active (on behalf of organizations including the plaintiffs) in lobbying for private standards to be incorporated into public law [0], and they're not doing it purely out of a desire to save the government time.

Interesting thought but I'm not entirely convinced yet: 10m/s² down (along your body axis) is not the same as 10m/s² in any other direction. I would assume the body is perfectly able to distinguish between those.
That wasn't "bothsidesing" the issue. Whatever your current political opinion, the potential is still there for abuse by either party, and there's room for improvement in the process. The point still stands.

Not really. Nowadays, Vegas hotel minibars frequently have sensors.[0]

Before sensors, people would grab a $5 can of soda at 2am, drink it, swing by the convenience store in the morning and get a 12-pack for $6, and put a single can back in the minibar. On paper it's a 1:1 swap, so it's not really stealing, but hotels wanted their profits, so they invested in the sensors.

I'm sure other hotels just check what gets restocked and charge you accordingly, but hotels that really want to juice you will get every dollar they can.

Some cursory (and shallow) testing shows that the model does reasonably well at representing artist styles compared to SDXL, certainly in terms of genre and color palette.

It actually does a bit better in terms of reproducing an artist's typical texture and technique (eg. "Art by Virgil Finlay" reproduces that artists' stippling technique without having to specify anything further like a particular medium).

In terms of artistic composition, results often seem a bit simplified or smoothed compared to SDXL (or SD v2.1 for that matter). Almost cartoonish, and reminiscent of Craiyon or other early models.

Interpolating between artist styles are about on par with SDXL, though the results are somewhat less consistent (that is, a series of "By ARTIST_1 and ARTIST_2" from SDXL will tend to share a common style, and from Würstchen they will be more diverse).
The app is shitty on Android, locks up on every phone I've ever tried it on. I power through all its bugs though because I need the grease and cheese.

I genuinely don't understand what a table of Stock Price Change vs iPhone Release has to do with anything. Since expectations are priced in ahead of time, and those expectations might be reasonable or not, a product announcement date is really a meaningless point in time.

Why would they need to resort to that? They already have full access to your SF-86 and all the other blackmail material that every government employee with a clearance has to submit, on requesting a clearance. That's not just for background checks. It's leverage. There are any number of things the CIA could do with that information, to make your life unpleasant. They also run background checks on your friends and acquaintances.

I am sick of this "extreme edge case" bullshit when there is 20+ years of historical precedent. We did not go away and this shit did not come out of nowhere. The tech is already there and its maintenance is minimal. Just because some young shits running the numbers in the bay area are obsessed with and surrounded by the latest and greatest doesn't mean the rest of the world marches to their bullshit drumbeat. Especially when we keep seeing the things we used to own turn into rentals.

Until the past few years, I held a similar view. I.e., if we could just dry up the demand for the product, the rest of the system would crumble.

Then the whole Sackler / Oxycontin thing came to light. And I saw (well, second hand) a normal person get hooked on pain meds after back surgery, thanks to those assholes. And they're not in prison.

That's when I concluded that we lack the collective will to take the necessary steps to fully stop the trade of addictive drugs.

Or you could look at the actual intent of copyright law in the first place and invalidate any copyright that becomes part of the encoded law. This then removes the burden from any individual that publishes the law, and forces the copyright holder losing their holding to fight the state.

It's not a case of naming something similarily to other software. OSX used FreeBSD's ipfw and around the time they renamed the OS to macOS, they switched to OpenBSD's pf.

Now they've screwed up either configuration or implementation but to me - it doesn't read like a bug in pf.
Ultimately bandwidth per customer is just a revenue vs cost of each satellite question. They or a competitor can scale the number of LEO satellites and their mass basically indefinitely.

Also inline traditional communication satellites these things have a short lifespan which means the network can see significant improvements over time as technology improves.
