Epic result, and thank you for mentioning USearch! Would be happy to further optimize it for your needs!

I also love your specialized CI! Pgvector probably doesn’t report performance changes between releases, or does it? Was it easy to implement? Do you run the whole eval on GitHub?
Yet if I had gone back to the room and merely pulled a single drink out of the minibar, I could have run up a $60 charge no problem!

Right, but pulling a drink out of the minibar requires a room key which, in turn you couldn't get without ID.

So both cases depend on ID.

The reality is that credit rating has a strong correlation with responsibility. Thus, for example, in places where it's legal to do so insurance rates will be different.

This does end up sweeping up a few who were hit by unavoidable circumstances but most people who get in credit trouble were skating too close to the edge.

When you say "produced locally", do you mean on the client? If so, does this mean you require me to use some alternate PostgreSQL driver locally, parsing the SQL to add your one feature?

(If it is, this really feels like it should be a separate general purpose local extension mechanism into which random functions can be added, instead of something tied to this use case... maybe I want to add some locally-executed string parsing function, for example...)

(...but, the entire concept of having some functions be "locally" executed also feels really awkward/limited and will involve a ridiculous amount of work to make, at the end of the day, it only sort of work in some places in the query, so I bet you don't mean what I do when I say "locally", right?)

(But, like... doing it remotely--on the database server as part of the query plan--frankly seems kind of crazy to me, as it is going to be so slow and add a massive CPU load to what should be an I/O workload. Makes for good demos I bet, but otherwise unusable in a database context.)

(Regardless, the premise of seeing this as a feature kind of squicks me... like, it honestly gives me strong apprehensions about using your extension at all, as I can see--very clearly--the mission creep it is going cause as you deal with demands to drag more and more popular embedding models with lots of execution dependencies as part of the extension that has to be loaded into the server, as well as fielding distracting discussions about the performance of the embedding helpers...)

(...this frankly shouldn't be part of the same extension: it should be another extension that happens to return this extensions data type--or even potentially returns some more generic one, like an array of float, making it drop-in compatible with other extensions for vector indexing--and there should then almost certainly be separate such extensions for each major model you want to support.)

The thing is though, there is no open source project even close to what Unreal Engine currently offers. It's just lightyears ahead in everything kinda? Editor tooling, asset pipelines, advanced rendering features, ... While you could build on open source tech and implement all the missing pieces yourself, that is just not going to be a sensible investment for most studios.

You'd be hard pressed to compete with Epic Games' investment in the engine for their own games and others, too. I don't think this situation is comparable with Hashicorp. Epic has more than a hundred engineers continuously improving the engine, doing research on new technologies like Nanite and similar, and all their improvements are available to you immediately. You have full source code available and are able to modify it as needed, you can also fork it under the current terms. As far as I know there were never any forks with significant traction, only to implement random features people needed in their game.

This is just a guess, but I truly don't believe we are going to see Epic Games turn evil like Unity has as long as Tim Sweeney holds more than 50% of the shares. Going public was Unity's death sentence - the tech no longer mattered, now it was all about extracting the maximum value possible before the company is run into the ground.
The conflict here is it costs a lot of effort (time and money) to do the hard work of figuring out what a good code should be. Used to be large cities (New York) would pay for it, and small towns would copy it - which meant if you lived in a smaller city you were freeloading off of New York (and in some cases you had to do something that made sense for New York but not where you were) which is unfair to New York's taxpayers. By have some organization create a standard towns can more equally share the cost of building a good standard.

Standards organizations need to pay the engineers who do all the complex calculations to figure out what works. However I think everyone agrees the law shouldn't be hidden from people who need to obey it.
Thanks for sharing that! On the Web: we are using Kotlin/JS and SQLite.js (which uses WASM and talks to the HTML via a web worker). But you're right, Kotlin and Javascript definitely do not connect as naturally as Kotlin and the JVM. Its possible, but it will be trickier.
The Rust Evangelism Strike Force and Q-Anon: A Conversation with ChatGPT
There is never a good reason to inject code into another process - particularly a system process. At the point at which you believe this is necessary you are several layers of hackiness deep and should go find a beverage and think over what your actual goal is.

As a metaphor: you find the instructions to sweep your floor cumbersome so you reprogram your neighbor's Roomba to come clean your floor. Sure, it may well go back to their house and no harm done, but it's hacky, socially unacceptable, and no matter how hard your broom is to use it's not OK.
It's "hard" in the same sense that Michael deciding to whack Sal in The Godfather was hard.

Even if it doesn't, I think you could do something similar by just spawning a shell (command prompt) that executes a small script trying to delete the file. You just have to take care to make sure the process is detached from the original one and then let the spawning process terminate to release the lock on the executable. PowerShell could also work, but I know it is pretty restricted in a lot of environments. These completely avoid any intermediate file.

I think the retry is necessary because if you launch "wscript cleanup.js" from the process that wants to be cleaned up, you then need to wait for the spawning process to finish executing. I agree if it fails after 20 times, you should probably spawn an alert or something letting the user know that uninstall failed. There are also so many random processes that might take a reference on the file like antivirus in Windows so just spamming retry will help wait that stuff out (this problem does not exist on Linux since Linux generally just does garbage collection which has the downside of not keeping specific paths around, just file inodes).

> It was a very nicely written piece with each character playing in character to help solve the problem proposed by the main character.

I fully agree with this, which is why because it's a movie, it being attributed mostly to the main character makes sense, but if it weren't, I'd think they all played a part.

Anyway my opinion on this is 100% irrelevant so I'm going to leave it at that. I think it's a great movie, all in all.
Oh that's a bummer about the isolated or filtered. Thanks for the heads up!
Ask HN: Are there good Cloudflare alternatives? e.g., edge cache, firewall
Contexts -

Relying on Cloudflare to be the gateway of all of our production traffics is scary.

Currently we are on Enterprise plan, but we don't know if phone support is possible and email support is very slow - typically takes a few days for one reply. We have an open ticket opened ~1 month ago and they still can't answer some basic questions.

Can't imagine what to do if there's big outage on their end or mistakes made by their human operators.

Ideally, there's a good Cloudflare alternative, and we can easily update our dns customer server to point to that alternative when Cloudflare has outage (or caused by their human operators mistakes).

>what limitations of set theory made it necessary to invent/discover category theory?

Category theory did not start as alternative to set theory.

But: "Category theory even leads to a different theoretical conception of set and, as such, to a possible alternative to the standard set theoretical foundation for mathematics."

>What do categories let us do that we can’t do with sets?

"At minimum, it is a powerful language, or conceptual framework, allowing us to see the universal components of a family of structures of a given kind, and how structures of different kinds are interrelated"

Some category theory constructions like adjoints and monads are higher level and more powerful than basic set theory constructions like power set.

"The number of mathematical constructions that can be described as adjoints is simply stunning."
"We've got to kill that attitude"? The attitude that workers know that companies need them, and therefore that workers have some leverage? The attitude that workers deserve to not be yanked around by management's arbitrary nonsense and unreasonable demands? The attitude that workers deserve some quality of life, not just to be cogs until they die? That attitude?

Good luck killing that attitude. Maybe Gurner should kill his own attitude instead?
Apologies; I wasn't very serious in my previous comment. I'm not sure how layoff algorithms work, but it is most likely polynomial. Firing people would be linear/sub-linear but candidate selection is probably a bit heavier.

Maybe a little extra overhead too for paying MBB to suggest Google's GRAD and SCI programs.
What makes Fennel a bit different is that it is a Lisp inspired by Clojure. If for any reason neither of these ever interested you, then, yes, Fennel would not feel any different to you.
> Are there models that will run on 3 series that will not run on 4 series cards due to feature incompatibility?

No, it is all the same matrix multiplication.

> if you have a 2x 3090 rig, is that about as fast as a single 4090?

Yes, but double the VRAM

> But can you train e.g. a model that requires 48gb of space with 2 3090s on the same rig, or do you need a large card with 48gb, like an a4000?

Yes, 2x 3090 would be able to handle anything that a 48Gb card can. For training you will need space for weights and gradients. If using Adam optimizer, that would be 2x-4x model size. Plus weights, plus activations, plus inputs times batch size.
So a 24Gb card can train approximately a 3B model without compromises.

Ethical Defaults is something I've been casually supporting for a long time.

I think the statistics around organ donation are what got me started on it.

We really should have legislation mandating minimum consent by default options, and then additional legislation that creates allowances for non-minimum consent on a case-by-case basis. So we can allow, if we want, for organ donation to be consented to by default if the general public feels it is more ethical to default to consent on that option than not. And if harvesting everyone's data for AI is going to be default, then we would need a similar public consensus

The more work a company needs to do to get consent from its users, the less bullshit they are going to create and try to get away with because they'll need to actually convince people to care enough to change their defaults.

It will better align incentives between consumers and companies imo
LexisNexis makes money taking pictures of me in my car, tagging location data to it and selling that data back to other businesses like Lawyers and Insurance companies. I never signed a release.
Heh, a decent chunk of my work happens in Outlook, regrettably. Another good bit in the browser, accessing corporate stuff with the phone's per-app VPN.

So yeah it's sad, but I'd be able to write a lot with it.

But, to give you an example, tonight I went home carrying a laptop as this week I'm on call, and can only use a corporate device to reach our internal systems if something goes pear shaped. I often (weather permitting) bike to work and back, so a laptop is a significant annoyance to bring along.
The first modification to that 1978 document came 14 years later, done for the sole purpose of keeping it in compliance with the Maastricht Treaty. The line in the sand you are fervently defending was crossed a long time ago.
I remember a fast tennis ball being something around 100J.

So something like 300W for a human body seems like quite a bit of energy. But maybe it's not like poison where it's maximum amount per kilogram bodyweight, but it's more like the maximum for any particular kilogram of tissue.

But even when pelting someone with uniform light rather than physical objects, a 300W IR lamp would be pretty noticeably warm I think.

Anyway it was more than I thought. I was expecting some figure that could easily be dismissed as 'impossible to cause any physical effect, let alone harm'.
There are a couple of projects working on this. These are two of the best ones that I know of:

We, the old Windows developers, welcome you, the current Apple developers, to the 90's, when Windows was shittier and shittier with each version. Get ready for the next decade when workarounds and basically underground techniques will be your only survivability.

As MacOS becomes more popular, it seems it has to go to this shitty phase, as Windows did back in the day. We got rid of this phase with Windows XP release, so around 7 years. For you, who knows, hopefully shorter.
I know how it relates to monoids, rather than to sets. For example, you cannot just multiply together any two matrices (like you can with monoids); they need to have the correct dimensions. So, in category theory, this corresponds to the composition of morphisms, so in this case, the objects are the number of rows/columns and the morphisms are the matrices.
There are plenty of other solutions; that was merely one straightforward option that could be shown in a few lines of code and which doesn't require *injecting code into a binary you don't own*.
> "I know a person when I talk to it," Lemoine said in an interview in 2022.

One thing I've learned with the introduction of LLMs is that some people are really bad at judging sentience. Other people are really quick to anthropomorphize everything, from their car to their pet. When someone has both these qualities then I can see how they feel ChatAIs are conscious and self-aware.

To me it's laughable because I can talk to an LLM like it's a person and not think it's a person but rather a machine. I have a normal ability to judge self-awareness in others and I never anthropomorphize anything because I don't like doing it. I was in the Navy so when sailors would refer to the ship as "she" I always resisted thinking that way.
I think sets are fundamental to counting. An example: how many trees are in the forest? It depends on where you draw the boundary for tree. An Aspen Grove, for example have many stems of one large interconnected tree.
Ah, but they did. They gave me that second key without ID, just with interrogation. That same interrogation was not suitable for a $35 parking charge, however.
Literally nothing is preventing this other than that nobody has bothered to take the time to do it.

The current version of MIDI is capable of replicating any of his performances, even down to the randomness.

Note that if you want to replicate the audio quality of his performances, you will need a high-quality MIDI instrument; the ones that ship with Windows will not suffice. These MIDI instruments can range from a few dollars to thousands of dollars. (See, e.g., Native Instruments)

I don't think this is a practical outcome. If the law for seatbelt standards references a copyrighted document for materials, I don't want my car company throwing out the standards because the doc is copyrighted. It should simply be the case that the copyright is forcibly expired and the document with the information referenced by law is in the public domain.
Well I mean you can look at what polls do exist, and it's not ambiguous. But I'd also appeal to a logical aspect here. Homogeneous dogmatic thinking, at scale, is not natural - and arguably doesn't exist. Instead it's primarily a product of propaganda and efforts to drive people to self-censor.

Both of these are absolutely rampant in the West at the moment, but not so much in most of the rest of the world (at least not on this topic). People, left to their own devices, are generally pretty awesome. It's only when you introduce self righteousness and propaganda that we turn into unthinking animals. It's no coincidence that self righteousness and propaganda go hand in hand with war.
In Germany as far as I know (please somebody correct if knows better!) there is an association called "VDE" which is private. They make norms, which you must comply with. You have to pay for them, are are relatively expensive (much more than the cost of the editing and the paper in any case).
I find it incredible, because the law you are subject to, is not public. But even much worst: basically the state has delegated writing laws to a private company.
Please note! VDE is an association of many private companies, they could basically make a new norm, that some kind of cable, devices or such is now required, and you have to comply! That is the wolf taking care of the herd.
There was already a case, where they tried to make obligatory a kind of better RCD with microprocessor, but if backfired spectacularly... but it could happen any time again.

> A bad credit score doesn't really mean you've made bad choices.

It doesn't necessarily mean this, sure. But, if we found a thousand people with bad credit scores and did a deep audit, we wouldn't discover 1000 who had unavoidable, unpredictable misfortune. We likely wouldn't even find 500.

> Shit happens, and it is naive to think

I've heard alot of "shit happens" excuses over the years. Few of them struck me as "no matter what this person might have done, they were just fucked from day one". Shit doesn't happen, either in frequency or degree, nearly enough to explain the bad situations many are in. They tend to have alot of minor misfortunes sprinkled here and there among gigantic piles of poor decisions.

>And it isn't like you are going to get credit for paying most normal bills on time. Landlords and utilities rarely report positives to the agencies.

Funnily enough, I work adjacent to a company called Rent Dynamics, and one of the features that they offer is positive credit reporting for those who pay the rent on time. There are others that do this too.

I'm still skeptical of the concept.

Should some company hiring say "sure, he defaulted on that $18,000 of credit card debt 3 years ago, but look... he's paid his rent on time for the last 4 months knowing that if he screws that up he'll be evicted, and that counts for something!" ?

Is that feature worth the slow accretion of extra (and sometimes hidden) fees that are pushing housing/rental prices higher in an era of skyrocking housing costs? Remember, this isn't something that shows up for luxury apartments, it's for the not-quite-slums apartments.

We might find that landlords will do positive credit reporting here in the next few years, and that it's not the good thing you think it to be.

I’d buy the mini if they packaged the better camera in this size. The only reason that I buy the pro max is for the best camera. If that were available on the mini then (as like a mini-max) - I’d be buying smaller. I can’t stand the size of my gargantuan phone. But the photos are great!!!!

It doesn't say they're working on a workaround. It says that users shouldn't upgrade to Sonoma until Apple fixes the bug.
StarShield came out of that though, which might be a legitimate compromise. e.g. governments purchase StarShield and then just do whatever they want with the constellation.

I don't disagree with your sentiments here. But if you've got a service and it's being used for war (regardless of whose side you're on or how patriotic you are), it's not abusive (from my perspective) to just opt out providing service. If Musk is completely a pacifist, which I doubt but let's go with it, then StarShield might end up being a reasonable compromise.
JSON was designed as a wire format, not as a configuration file. The original idea was to validate it with a regex to exclude malicious input and then eval() it. That explain why it's such a small subset.

TOML on the other hand is also a clear indication that Tom did not like using (or hadn't learned about) a formal grammar.
Does that really help, though? During the trading day, many (I want to say most, but can't confirm it) trades don't affect prices; odd lots and trades internalized on certain trading platforms don't effect NBBO IIRC. On the other hand, pre-market and after hours trades of even single-digit shares can move the price. This is why volatility can be so high then, and why you'll often see things like stock prices moving 10, 20, 30% within a few moments of close. Sometimes it snaps back before the next trading day. Sometimes, it doesn't.
Just to update a day later, I hadn't processed during the presentation that the new processor is named A17 "Pro," not "Bionic."

So my theory now is next year the non-Pro iPhone 16's will have an A17 Bionic that doesn't have the faster transfer speeds. It seems like Apple considers the fast transfer speeds a purely Pro feature, pretty much exclusively for ProRaw photos and ProRes videos. For all other use cases, I think they'd rather incentivize people to use AirDrop and iCloud for moving files around.
Curious about how this aligns with the bioavailability point discussed in the article. Presumably if the gut lining is where the bulk of metabolism occurs then IV sidesteps this and increase the bioavail drug, leading to improved efficacy.
