Hi everyone! I made this. Tried posting it to Show yesterday, glad this thread is getting more momentum!

For the past four months I've been working (part-time, this is OSS after all) on Harlequin, a SQL IDE for DuckDB that runs in your terminal. I built this because I work in Data, and I found myself often reaching for the DuckDB CLI to quickly query CSV or Parquet data, but then hitting a wall when using the DuckDB CLI as my queries got more complex and my result sets got larger.

Harlequin is a drop-in replacement for the DuckDB CLI that runs in any terminal (even over SSH), but adds a browsable data catalog, full-powered text editor (with multiple buffer support), and a scrollable results viewer that can display thousands of records.

Harlequin is written in Python, using the Textual framework. It's licensed under MIT.

Yesterday I released v1.0.0: you can try it out with `pip install harlequin`, or visit https://harlequin.sh for docs and other info.
Little protip: if you sign your phone up with Google, it doesn't force the assistant on you at all. Don't remember having to disable it, you just have to not consent to their terms.

Side effect: you can kiss access to the monopoly on apk files goodbye unless you want to use third party hacky methods that use a pool of random people's accounts to talk to the google apk servers...

Using one monopoly to gain market share in another :) The pattern is everywhere with google. I keep wondering why the competitors like TomTom haven't gotten them banned from the country with antitrust suits. Instead, TomTom just cut their losses, threw in the towel for their own map (which has surprisingly good worldwide road coverage for a Dutch company from the noughties), and is starting to use OpenStreetMap as a base layer. I'm not complaining about OSM use, but they were in the prime position to force Google to open the data they funneled from their original monopoly
People are mentioning it a lot. "Everybody conveniently ignores X" is a very common form of fallacious meta-argument, especially on divided topics.
I was slightly mistaken in that it's 42% [1], not 50%+. But that's still a derisory figure. The cruelty of the UK towards children is absolutely real.

The two child limit, and associated rape clause, is punitive. If we look at UK families with three or more children, two million of those kids are in poverty [1]. Scrapping the limit would cost a token amount, and lift 270 000 [2] children out of poverty.

How do you create anything with RabbitMQ that a) has performance characteristics under load you can reason about and b) can handle individual node or networking failures without data loss?

Kafka is overkill in most scenarios and you should probably just see if postgres isn't enough for your needs first (especially since you will almost certainly already need a database anyway). Kafka is more pain to setup and run than it ought to be. But underlying it is a useful and sensible abstraction for building robust distributed systems.
> The statement refers to a popular anecdote in international business and marketing about a supposed blunder made by American automaker Chevrolet with the car model, "Nova."

> According to the story, when Chevrolet tried to market the Nova in Spanish-speaking countries, the car reportedly did not sell well because in Spanish, "no va" translates to "doesn't go". This led people to joke that a car named "doesn't go" wouldn’t be a popular choice.

> However, it's important to note that this is largely a myth. In reality, the Chevrolet Nova was relatively successful in Spanish-speaking markets. "Nova" as a word is understood to mean "new star" in Spanish, and it's unlikely Spanish speakers would naturally break up the term into "no" and "va", just like English speakers wouldn't naturally break up "notable" into "no" and "table".

> But the story remains popular as a cautionary tale of the consequences of not considering linguistic and cultural differences when naming products for international markets.
> Proxmox is an open-source, Type 1 hypervisor that comes as a Debian-based Linux distribution. With Proxmox, users can experience a hypervisor that can integrate Linux containers (LXC) and KVM hypervisor, networking functionality, and software-defined storage in a unified platform.

I'm not saying you are wrong entirely - it can be used as a management plane for different hypervisors, but it is also a hypervisor in it's own right as I understand it. (grabbed the quote above from ServerWatch). There is a lot of confusion about this topic as some people argue it isn't a type 1 because it goes through KVM, but others rebut that because KVM is in the kernel and has direct hardware access (very gross summary of arguments I barely know enough about to keep up, and sometimes don't).
Plug in hybrids would be the best choice if anyone actually plugged them in. Most PHEVs here in Norway are leased and exist only because they are cheaper than the petrol version. The leasing companies say that only a small fraction of them are ever charged.
If you don't mind me asking - what type of Google Workspace subscription do you have?
X-risk concerns have been around for a long time and were not invented by AI marketeers. I agree that the marketeers are abusing the concept to try for regulatory lock-in and to make their products look maximally impressive.
"Men's sexuality is dangerous and unnecessary" - It's not something that's said. It's the assumption underlying every interaction that never gets articulated and is more powerful for that reason. It's so "obvious" and universally accepted that it doesn't need to be said.

Men can be creepy; it is impossible for a woman to be creepy. Male teachers who sleep with with students are "pedophiles" and "rapists"; female teachers who do this "had sex" with students.
These lawsuits seem to be missing the point. Copyright protects their right to copies and the piracy sites are OBVIOUSLY at fault here, but there is a good argument that OpenAI's work in transformative and that they're not liable for copyright violations.

One argument this law firm has made is that ChatGPT can summarize the books, so it must have read them. This is spurious and meaningless as many sources summarize books and some like cliff notes actively sell summaries and analysis of books!

In the end, I think we need to follow Japan and say that AI training is transformative and not a copyright issue.

One clarification: That is training an AI where the training data isn't returned directly, but instead it works off of it.
> robots will initially be used to rake in more cash for their owners.

And as long as regulators maintain a competitive marketplace, the plummeting in costs to operate a business will result in lower prices. Labor is the largest cost for most businesses, and businesses that take advantage of new automation typically use it to undercut their competitors prices.
Once a robot is trained, it's training dataset can be copied to other pretty quickly? So that's 'one robot teaching another'.

It's still much easier to manipulate DOM with jQuery than with any of the "modern times" APIs.

Hell, even querying the DOM is still easier with jQuery.
My Ford CMAX tries to update its software when I'm driving. It often attempts for a while, then fails, then loops and tries again (ad infinitum). When this happens, I am locked out of accessing navigation, music controls, etc. At least I still have knobs for climate control.
You have to get to the end of the speech. His point is that there are a handful of relatively simple things that can add up to such an outcome, and that academic institutions teach in such siloed ways that people aren't learning how to do the cross-field synthesis required to understand something, even retrospectively.

Pretty fumble-fingered robots they were using. All you needed for industry up til now.

Now the can learn, quickly, perhaps a more dexterous robot with flexible digits etc will become the norm.
> serious learning.

That's another problem I have in this narrative. Productivity isn't measured by throwing an inexperienced developer at something and then looking how fast they get stuff done. That's learnability.

I'm an experienced Rails developer (some 15 years in) and my productivity has plataued for years now. I've been doing Java and Rust work for years too now. Web and application dev. It took years, but my productivity in both Java and Rust, on anything that lives longer than 6months, has vastly surpassed that of my Rails.

Productivity of a senior, or experienced dev, of a (large) team, of a team with high turnover, of a project over decades, all that is productivity too. And in all those categories, Rails isn't great.
To be fair, assignments to variables still update the state of your component. `count += 1` will still update the state of your component. I think what you meant is that you now need to explicitly declare `count` as state. Personally, I think the magic of Svelte is that assignment part. And now the magic of Svelte works across files and even inside regular `.ts` and `.js` files!
Could be also that it was certain large shipment they wanted to get rid off. My local hypermarket does have freezer sometimes with icecream next to check out lanes with lot off other stock they want to get rid off.
Yelp is accused of running a shake down service which restaurants can pay to remove unwanted reviews. The cheaper alternative is to pay others to dilute them.
So is there an F-Droid like service to update the OS? Can it be done manually?
Eh I'm anti touch screen controls, but as a motorcyclist driving in a foreign country relying on voice directions I need the visual input too. There's a big difference between audio only directions for a spaghetti junction and being able to glance at the visual and combine that with the audio.

You take your eyes off the road all the time doing head checks (blind spot checks), so long as you're not staring at the map I think the benefit of being sure about where you're going is safer
Worse is worse.
and i'm sure the generation before us bemoans the destruction of culture in the face of youtube and tiktok and instagram and whatnot. my baby sister grew up on teletubbies, which i regarded as vile trash inferior to my sesame street. she turned out more than fine - its quite safe to say she's better socially adjusted than I am.

i think humanity will always have some shared myths and legends that we'll all like to share and i'm certainly hoping that lives on. but there's a lot of room for net new. and you just need to see the delight in a kids' face once - when you incorporate a suggestion by them into a story, or a drawing, or literally whatever - to want to give that joy to them again and again.

theres room for net new, and room for shared history. not zero sum here.
on that note, is anyone ever voluntarily, knowingly clicking the “accept all” other than to dismiss these? Like why not just legislate that you can’t do the kind of tracking they are asking because I’m pretty sure literally nobody wants it…
In some cars this means you are unable to hear the beeping of the proximity sensors. I would guess that you'd also lose any 360° camera views as well.

"The effects could be generationally skewed as well. Every AI Engineer parent we know of is already hacking together bedtime story generator apps for their kids"

That's just sad.

From my childhood I remember a (big!) book called something like "1001 Tales from the Orient". Think Aladdin & the wonder lamp, and many stories from similar (ancient) sources. There were a few such books around the house. More fairytales than my sister's & my childhood lasted. Great bedtime stuff.

And then people would go for AI generated content? Which most likely draws from books like this. Or Disney stuff, which in turn draws from similar sources. But all mixed up in weird, non-traceable ways.

Why would you feed your kids such crap, when those originals are up for grabs, free or costing pennies?

Fairytales are fine as they are. They don't become better by mixing up in random ways like food colorants in a cake recipe!
> They absolutely do NOT. The right has Jordan Peterson and a raft of people discussing men's issues. The left has NO equivalent.

The left doesn't have an equivalent of Jordan Peterson in general—there aren't any well-known celebrity spokespeople on the left. It's just not how they do things. So if that's what you're looking for, to understand what people on the left think about anything, really, you're going to be disappointed.
I get that, but can't I just go to TCGPlayer and click the first category - Magic, and browse the same goods in a more liquid market?

What I'm trying to say is what sets you guys apart, or why would I as a seller (or buyer) prefer to use Mana Pool over TCG?

Is it commission? I'll say from personal experience that 10% commission (or 10.25% or whatever) is quite expensive as a seller. If the commission is the killer, are you hoping to capture more of the market from TCG for Magic? Is it sustainable to run a price war on commission?

Genuinely asking all of this btw, I do prefer the design here to tcg
I'm working on a generic device that sends canbus messages, that can have inputs such as potentiometer, push buttons, toggle switches, and rotary encoders. My end goal is to have real hvac controls on my Tesla, but I'd like to abstract the device as much as possible. Fun project, and most of the hardware necessary is already out there.
I've actually been able to get pretty remarkable results out of Llama 2 7B on just my laptop gpu (8gb). Just don't give it any logic puzzles. I wonder if a 13B (more or less runnable with consumer GPU hardware) fine-tuned on a gaming data set could actually be pretty immersive already?

And good luck! Will be keeping an eye on the gaming framework.
I’d suspected that, but kept it to myself because it sounded a bit mad
I'm surprised my comment triggered you so easily. Obviously my personal experience will be sample size of one and I'm not invested enough in an internet discussion to try to support my comment but trying to deny things that are easily observable is just laughable.
This is an obvious no-no but these popups create other issues too.

My Grandma lives in a small town in Eastern Europe and I bought her a Samsung Tablet to use with Skype so we can talk to her without paying ridiculous international rates(her house had 100mbps internet but no landline for phone, only GSM which was expensive to call).

Anyway, at some point Skype and later Samsung decided that we can't call grandma without her accepting the terms and conditions. The problem is that she has all kind of illnesses and she can't see the screen well and can't manage a touchscreen well. Also can't get it fixed by someone else because pretty much everyone is very old in the town.

During the height of the pandemic I had to do an international travel because she wanted to see us. I Gave her my old iPhone 7 and use FaceTime now, with auto answer setting turned on in the accessibility. Works like a charm since then, as good and simple as a traditional dumb phone.

People making these UX really should think better.
But that's not how it works at all? If I watch 100s of artists cell shade something and build a normal piece of software that mimics the results I owe them absolutely nothing. I've not seen an explanation as to why this is different.
This seems like a pretty uncurious point of view to post on a forum thats all about intellectual curiousity. What discussion can there be if you intentionally put blinders on like this?
> Stopped reading at the "remove docker" line. Like, really?

Why so incredulous about removing docker?

Did you read the part right before about how the networking interferes with LXD? "remove docker" is a pretty damn good solution to those types of problems as Docker notoriously hacks iptables and screws up all sorts of other apps that rely on it to do networking work. I've had to do that on my desktop in order to get bridges working in kvm (I started using podman instead which plays nicely with kvm).

What alternative solution do you offer instead for fixing the LXD networking?
Oh that is a good callout, I wasn't even thinking that is a hand in the first place
The banwhich part is much more interesting than the snap part.

snap is the first thing to get the apt-get purge treatment whenever I install a new ubuntu box.
Not gender specific but definitely gender predominant.
I have used both and I think they both have there benefits. Graphene is super focused on Security, there google play compatibility works well you can use all google apps with them but not with Calyos. Calyxos focuses more on the open source community and sponsors a lot of other projects. Calyxos is nice for those that want nothing to do with google play services. I am biased though. I use CalyOSas my daily driver but to each their own. I can see this thread turning into a flame war.

That assumes that the used car market isn't a thing. Richer people (those who can afford new cars) keeping their cars as long as possible would definitely reduce overall demand for cars by killing the used car market, which I guess is also a good thing if you care about the environment (but in a harsh unintended consequence kind of way). Or perhaps new economy cars would become a thing again, kind of like the ones they drive around in China (or Japan). They aren't designed to last more than 4-6 years anyways.
Multigenerational households make having kids easier. People do it in the rest of the world—the aversion to it is a distinctly Northern European thing.
> It's not clear to me why you think they won't reduce delivery van usage. It's hard for me to imagine that they would not.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I anticipate that they will have an effect, and that effect may be reduced usage, but I don't envision any reason they will totally replace delivery drivers. More likely, they'll complement delivery drivers.

> I'd also argue that more environmentally friendly, faster, potentially less expensive delivers are an improvement on what people are doing today.

Faster deliveries already happened. Even faster deliveries for the routine stuff that you buy seems like a needless feature. I know I don't need a set of wine glasses the same day or same hour, and if I did then I'll just plan better or deal with it. Especially if the trade off for me enjoying my back patio or something involves watching humming drones wizzing buy all day so someone can get some cheap plastic stuff delivered to them an hour faster...

How do we get something faster, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly anyway? There's a trade-off somewhere. Maybe it's worth it, though I doubt it. It's hard to buy the environmental angle here when you could instead just reduce consumption. It seems more like greenwashing. Once you take away the environmental angle, you can see (or at least I do) how absurd the whole proposal of "drone delivery" really is.

There could be some other, fantastic innovations though that really are subtractive instead of additive. Generally speaking if we aren't eliminating the usage of 1 or more things though we should be skeptical of the technology.

I hadn't caught that this was required, but then it'd lock them out of removing that requirement. Plus it'd complicate the parser, to have there be two different kinds of string literals syntactically.

Yes, UI component libraries. I just want to leave the UX to the expert and get going on the rest of the application.
But it's not either/or. There's nothing that says you can't have a visual interface that adjusts based on both natural language feedback and traditional cursor-based input.

There are great examples of this in Westworld and The Expanse, with characters talking to screens to update and refine their queries.
It's great as:
1. An ephemeral processing engine. For example, I have a machine learning pipeline where I load data into a DataFrame, and then I can use DuckDB to execute SQL on my DataFrame (I prefer both the syntax and performance to Pandas).
2. A data lake processing engine. DuckDB makes it very easy to interact with partitioned files.
3. A lightweight datastore. I have one ETL pipeline where I need to cache the data if an API is unavailable. I just write the DataFrame to a DuckDB database that is on a mounted network filesystem, and read it back when I need it.
Maybe it's just hype marketing, but I liked two things:

(1) The industry overview infographics. I'm not very familiar with the quickly-changing application layers of AI, so it's nice to see what are the noteworthy companies in the various slices (at least according to this particular VC), and explore some of them a bit more.

(2) I also think the retention point and related metrics are interesting, and maybe some of the metrics are hard-to-find / not very public (? not sure about that). It starkly paints the current challenge in the space.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great piece of marketing for them too.

And basically they're saying - if you can claim one of these little boxes on our infographics, and/or have solved the retention challenge, then we'll fall all over ourselves to invest in you (just like any other VC). So it's a great move on their part.
I suppose you could do that (though I'm not sure if Info.plist is included in code signing or not -- that might have an impact for signed apps).

That doesn't solve it in a generalized way though, which is what I was going for here.
But vendor lock in and monitoring is happening even on non-electric cars, and there's nothing inherent to electric vehicles that requires the lock in and remote monitoring compared to any modern ICE.
I'm always surprised we don't see more car console "Blue Screens" reported. Weird reboots mid-drive and such.

I dare you to have a look at your rollbar, sentry or other exception logging of a rails project. And I'll put money on it, that the top 5 exceptions has several 'undefined method x' (probably on nil) errors.

Those warrant unit tests. Those will regress. Those would never exist in a strongly typed language (though Java still has null...ugh)
