At 7500 records a day, I'd even question RabbitMQ in the design.

If I was to judge that at work, my first thought would be that one of our busier postgres clusters with 2 read replicas is chugging through some 2-3k transactions per second without really needing much tuning or rather specialized hardware. The more ETL-oriented clusters are capable of processing some 100M - 200M rows per second when chugging through large queries, and these are just simple 4 core VMs again on not really specialized hardware. And postgres would parallelize these queries more if you gave it more cores and the queries aren't horrible.

At 7500 records a day or 3 million a year, you wouldn't be able to generate enough data to make one of these databases sweat over many years.

Hate me as a DBA, but write some good queries for whatever you're doing and run those in a cronjob at that scale.
Also curious to hear about your setup. Using whisper too? When I was experimenting with it there was still a lot of annoyance about hallucinations and I was hard coding some "if last phrase is 'thanks for watching', ignore last phrase"

I was just googling a bit to see what's out there now for whisper/llama combos and came across this: https://github.com/yacineMTB/talk

There's a demo linked on the github page that seems relatively fast at responding conversationally, but still maybe 1-2 seconds at times. Impressive it's entirely offline.
Data breaches are not a matter of if, but when. Government agencies are not gifted with special competency at avoiding this.
Violent revolutions are very rare and nowadays only happen if a significant part of the military takes part. Historically there was a short window of time when revolutions were likely to succeed; after the invention of the printing press and when reading became somewhat common (which allowed for the organization of a revolution) and basically up until the invention of tanks. After that any financially stable regime that maintains leadership of the army can in 99% of the cases suppress any revolutionary attempts. The gap in firepower between an armed militia (with rifles) and a modern military with drones, jets, MLRS, tanks, artillery etc. is simply too large.
The comment I responded to was specifically speculating about who was responsible for billboards they saw that relate to the topic of the article. Incidentally, the responses to my comment are indicative of exactly the kind of rhetoric I have seen many times coming from the right on this topic.
I think it'd be very easy to write your own. I used postgres subscribe/listen built in combined with a database table to get a distributed message system.

Writing a distributed, scalable system is really hard, and beyond the API, that is the real value for kafka
>My own Ian Knot (yes – I'm the inventor) is the World's Fastest Shoelace Knot. Make a loop with both ends and simultaneously pull them through each other to form an almost instant knot.

I doubt he invented that, because I've been tying my shoes with that knot my entire life and I'm 70 years old. My dad showed me this because it's the way he tied his shoes and he was born in 1912.
Having worked in Kingston and had to endure Southwest trains, their service is still an absolute dream vs most of the rest of the country. Trains are cancelled, but the next service is 20 mins away, not hours, and they're not 1970s road bus bodies stuck on rails like Pacers.
iCloud Photos are even worse. A family member had some corruption or misclick (wasn't there) that made their organized photo albums disappear even though the photos were still present. Luckily they have backup software I set them up with backing up their entire library, so I walked them through restoring from the day before. We then watched as iCloud noticed it was an old copy of the library and helpfully re-deleted all their albums. We never managed to fix it. I hate computing and want off of this.
> Apache Pinot also offers the same 2-tier compute/storage separation.

Based on looking at the docs, I don't think so. Maybe only with HDFS. Feel free to link to a page that says otherwise.
Amazing reply
These workers are often self-employed. E.g. just two guys installing countertops.
I don't know how recently the "UPSERT" nomenclature came into use but I laughed the first time I heard the term used several years ago, thinking it was a verbal contraction for a concept that, while logical, didn't actually exist in database engines (my ignorance was quickly remedied after my expression of mirth). It certainly wasn't part of the SQL courses back in 1998.
In the UK, finders of treasures such as this are legally required to hand it over to the government - but are then compensated at full market value. A happy case of aligning monetary incentives and civic goodwill! In the US the law is complicated, but often "finders keepers."

Because editing text on mobile is so tedious for all the reasons already outlined, this is basically the extent the of "editing" text that I do on my phone and it still drives me crazy! Stripping the UTM parameters from a url I've pasted into the address bar, pressing down, and watching the cursor sloooowwwwly move all the way to the end is excruciating.

What you're saying sounds great in theory but unfortunately it often isn't the case. I've been in small(er) rooms in clubs where the sound was still "blow your eardrums out" even in the back.

Anyway, the solution for "it's quiet at the back" isn't "turn it up at the front". It's line arrays, distributed speakers etc.
The answer is non-market housing. Housing made to pay for itself, but not profit from. Vienna has 60% non-market housing, which puts a huge damper on what the market can charge. Which is why we will likely never see it until the boomers and the boomer minded are long gone.
I have a friend in this business and his workers always wear N95 masks and his machines are sprayed with water to greatly reduce the dust particles in the air.

If workers refuse to wear masks, then whose fault is this?! If employers do not provide the PPE necessary of this job, then they should be sued and put in jail! My friend was buying 3M N95 masks before COVID-19 at extremely low prices in small quantities - somewhere between $.50 and $.70 a piece. So, everybody can calculate the "savings" those cruel employers do - a lot less than $50/mo/employee!

There are so many Latino workers in Southern California who do not wear PPE for a variety of reasons. For example, all those leaf blowers not only breathe in gas for hours, but they also inhale dust and mold! And nobody seems to care about them! My city of Irvine for years was pretending they want to enforce the switch to electrical leaf blowers as based on numerous studies, 2-stroke engines pollute the air of California a lot more than all cars together, but have done nothing! If I don't run and close all my windows, my house gets filled with gas for literally minutes and then it's really hard to get rid of those toxic fumes! This madness should stop!

The same applies to many other workers! There's the law, but nobody seems to care to enforce it!

The current day value of them as ancient artifacts. It was 7.7 lb of gold and 52.4 lb of silver, which would be worth ~£190,000 for the metal itself.
I once worked on a chat-based system that handled load like this, and it was initially built with kafka. I worked out that the cost per message was several cents, haha. I replaced it with a redis queue, which was all I knew at the time, and it ran on a digitalocean droplet for CAD $5 per month for around 18 months before they scaled it up. It was handling ~100 messages per second peak at the end, which is still very low. The cause for concern was that the droplet silently failed due to memory issues on a particularly busy day, so it seemed reasonable to jump to the next tier to avoid that issue for a while.

For what it's worth I never intended for the 1CPU/1GB VM to go to production, but I was a consultant and they just ran with it. And it worked!

They swore off of kafka forever after the pains they had with it. Another consultant built that system for them, so it wasn't an internal decision exactly and they had no idea what they were getting into. I've heard of similar experiences since. I've sometimes hoped to land on a project where kafka was well suited to the problem, though; I learned a lot about it back then and it seemed incredibly cool. I was kind of envious of all these projects fully utilizing it!
I can guarantee all of them will ultimately die.
That's not the point.

> Which is why your argument has no merit. I could have stopped being "working class" with a 400k/year salary any time I wanted and lived from my investments but I didn't.

You owned capital investments that kept you comfortable without the need to be exploited, at that point you crossed the class division from worker to a capitalist. You said it yourself...

I picked the 200-400k range because it's been thrown around on this thread, that compensation is far away for most of SWEs in the world. Of course if you earn that and invest (and thus becoming a capitalist) you can be free from exploitation. Most workers, even SWEs, in the world cannot cross that chasm.

You are a capitalist, not working class. You just choose to work.
If you're just using Arc<T> without any other parallelism primitives, then it's immutable and the cores can all read without blocking. The only thing it does is reference counting to know when to Drop.

Blindly using Arc<Mutex<T>> without considering access patterns is a software architecture problem, not a problem with Arc or Mutex.

Why is there still so many security patches via classic update and not rapid security response? It feels like the capabilities of the RSR are quite limited…
this looks really cool but what I'd like to see is something like this packaged as an addon to just a sveltekit install, as in you can choose which pieces you need, more modular, could even break it out into separate packages in a mono repo, @kfs/db, @kfs/auth, @kfs/stripe, @kfs/lemonsqueezy,

the main reason being if I want updates I'd need to merge in upstream and manage merge conflicts etc with own changes, the other way I'd just update packages and fix breaking changes.
A better explanation is that manufacturing isn't perfect and while that variability has definitely gotten better over the years, it still isn't perfect.
But who is going to make the dangers known to potential and currently employed workers? Companies can sieve through people until they find someone desperate enough or oblivious to the danger and they could not even be aware they're throwing their lives away. And the respirators are going to be in a locker that you have to sign off on each time you want to use them and to do that you have to ask your superior who would try to put you down verbally. I witnessed this model myself while working intermittently at a refuse processing plant that services a pretty big city. The work entailed manually sorting through garbage on a conveyor belt and cutting open any sealed trash bags, taking any plastic, metal, paper and rot out of it manually and into the chutes.
There are a lot of comments attempting to rationalize the value add or differentiation of humans synthesizing information and communicating it to others vs an llm based ai doing something similar. The fact that it’s so difficult to find a compelling difference is insightful in itself.
Fire your workers and you have no one to do the work. If your whole crew refuses to wear a mask and completion of the next job means you make rent then what are your options?
I think you're alone. That said, cantaloupes are delicious. Go to the store and get a few, cut the cantaloupes and live to see another day.

> Maybe you misunderstand how they work?

For me, it's precisely because I know I don't understand how they work.

With a password, I can hold it "in my hand". It's a string. I can export, and basically know that I have the whole thing.

With a passkey, I don't understand it enough to convince myself that my password manager is not able to lock me out of my accounts. The test for me is whether I can copy some piece of data out of the password manager and use it to authenticate. If authentication has to "go through" the manager, then my access to my account is vulnerable to the whims of the password manager. Or perhaps the whims of the new corporate owners of the password manager.

I've migrated passwords once from one password manager to another. I don't understand at all how this is supposed to happen with passkeys.

I'll be holding out either until I can understand satisfactory answers to these, or until support for passwords gets dropped from services I use.
Not sure if there's an extension but I usually will just add "archive.is/" in front of a URL if it's paywalled, and that usually works.
In this PDF there is an example of a controversial output in response to an image for job applicants. The "solution" was to decline to answer that category of question. This doesn't feel like a reasonable approach, as it will become a game of whack-a-mole.

This also seems to acknowledge that the model has deep bias-related flaws and instead of treating the causes, they are going after symptoms.
There are multiple class action lawsuits and settlements with Nissan over their CVTs. My Versa with a CVT started dying around 70k miles. It had all its scheduled service. I brought it to a Nissan dealer, and paid for a transmission inspection, and they said it was totally fine, even though I regularly experienced it failing to shift (or slide, I guess) between gears while accelerating. Around 90k miles it stopped switching out of 1st gear while I was 400 miles from home. I brought it to a family friend mechanic, who showed me that the transmission fluid plug was covered in metal shavings.

CVTs, at least from Nissan are a black box. You can change the fluid, you can hook it up to a computer, but that's about it. There's no fixing them. When it's done you have to replace the entire transmission. I limped the car another 50 miles to a dealer and traded it in for a Chevy Cruze. I looked it up, and I was the only year model not to have a class action yet. Later there was, and I think they settled for a 500 dollar voucher towards a new Nissan. No thanks.
I use a Google Titan key for this purpose, have a ssh key password that I can "cache" for the session on my macos key chain, but I have to tap the Titan key for every pull/push
Yeah, I definitely am not on team “We’re Doomed”, but I also can’t say definitively that I’m on team “We’re Fine” either.

I think there are merits to both arguments, and I think it’s possible that we’ll see things move towards either direction in the next 1/5/10 years.

My point is, I don’t think we can rule out the possibility of some jobs being at risk within the next 1/5/10 years.
> With that in mind, Ponte Vecchio is better seen as a learning experience. Intel engineers likely gained a lot of experience with different process nodes and packaging technologies while developing PVC

Road travel as a whole has gotten safer; the entire integrated system of cars, roads, and laws have collectively reduced fatalities per vehicle mile traveled. But they specific example of the mini given in the picture, is invoking a type of vehicle (microcar) that no longer exists as a segment in the US (and was barely represented here when it did exist) - even the Smart cars are gone. You're actually arguing in favor of large cars by doing this because increasing the size of all vehicles is part of that collective Improvement to safety of the squishy occupants inside.

Many of the improvements made to vehicle safety have to do with things like enforcing seat belt laws, cracking down on drunk driving, better standards for nighttime road illumination, and requiring airbags and side impact structures and anti-lock brakes. None of which would have much of an improvement on the chances of survival in a high speed collision between a micro car and just about anything on the road today. You might as well be riding a motorcycle. Either overall size of vehicles has to be brought down collectively, which I would agree with if it were possible to do, or vehicles have to be of a such a size that they are not going to be crushed to the point of frame collapse under conditions of a normal highway impact. Nor severely disadvantaged (due to height) in terms of visibility and the situational awareness of road conditions.

I would argue that your stats are even more of a weird red herring because this refers to all cause fatality across the board vs. a specific comparison against a mini car that is no longer "Mini."
Yeah that’s nothing.

My busy discussion forum built in PHP running on a toaster of a server was handling way more load than that 15 years ago.
I don't buy that. It's just a tiny number of people who

1. Take the time to speak up about it
2. Speak up about it in a forum that you're aware of

Another problem is the diminishing number of people over time who were exposed to more-functional products that were standard in the past. The obvious feature requested here was present on millions of telephonic devices for decades, including cell phones. Android phones have it. But the iPhone is now 15 years old, like many of its users.

The Web is rife with requests for this feature. I posted a tiny sampling of them above.
Subreddits for corporate products are almost invariably shit. Run either by the company itself, one of their contractors, or a team of corrupt 'community' mods. In any case it becomes a corporate propaganda space. Reddit's usefulness peaked many years ago.
Anyone can, through a service such as DistroKid, publish their music on spotify without a label. You can even enter your own label name so yeah spotify very much seems pretty label agnostic. Not sure how much the big labels end up paying them at the end of the day though.
A few reasons.

1. Arm is generally more efficient than x86.
2. Apple uses TSMC's latest nodes before anyone else.
3. Apple doesn't chase peak performance like AMD and Intel. CPU speed and power consumption is not linear. Intel has been chasing 5GHZ+ speeds the last few years which consumes considerably more power. Apple keeps their CPUs under 3.5GHZ.
The TLDR I get out of this is:

Every generation has a bunch of dumb, inexperienced, and/or naive people, and just because they use the internet a lot doesn’t mean they’re good at it.
In Hospitals, Viruses Are Everywhere. Masks Are Not
100% agreed. Our individualism and own greed are also a great contributing factor. After-all we ultimately elect those politicians and also have to profit similar to a company (hopefully not at all costs though).

I think we should get to see every congress member and senator's portfolio, with a 3 business day lead on any of their trade instructions.
FIDO itself specifies that attestation can be used but it's extremely likely browsers aren't going to ever support it for the same reason Apple has publicly said they won't: because attestation is a misfeature for Passkeys, because it completely eliminates the (very important and large) ability to synchronize Passkeys across devices using third party apps or built in browser mechanisms. Having to manually re-enroll every device is like a step backwards 10 years into the past from a usability POV. Device-attestation for passkeys was always 100% DOA for this reason, because without it, they can't form a suitable password replacement in the existing ecosystem, where synchronization is basically expected.
Thyroid cancer is one of the least dangerous cancers being easily treated and not generally life threatening. Obviously it would be nice not to get it, but a small increase to the risk of thyroid cancer for a substantially reduced risk of cardiovascular issues and complications from diabetes seems like a very sound medical decision.
I think the biggest roadblock to widespread adoption outside major corporations is how complex they are to implement on the server side, in particular in comparison to passwords which are trivial. Every implementation I've seen so far has been multiple thousands of lines, whereas password auth can be done in several lines.

Libraries will come for every major language in time, we'll see how easy it becomes to implement. I'm hopeful.
Long term abuse to the point that "users don't ever feel the same without it" is quite concerning and very problematic, but once or twice over the course of a lifetime seems fine.

In absence of a century long twin study, I'd weigh the opinions of millions of people who've taken it a few times, over the secondary source of someone who read something off some random Internet forum (reddit?) from people who are seriously abusing it (like Thursday, Friday, Saturday every weekend).
What actually was the innovation in LLMs that produced the kind of AI we're seeing now? Is that innovation ongoing or did it happen, and now we're seeing the various optimizations of that innovation?

Is voice and image integration with ChatGPT a whole new capability of LLMs or is the "product" here a clean and intuitive interface through which to use the already existent technology?

The difference between GPT 3, 3.5, and 4 is substantially smaller than the difference between GPT 2 and GPT 3, and Sam Altman has directly said there are no plans for a GPT 5.

I don't think progress is linear here. Rather, it seems more likely that we made the leap about a year or so ago, and are currently in the process of applying that leap in many different ways. But the leap happened, and there isn't seemingly another one coming.
I think there is a large audience for people who want to visit the more uncommon attractions and experiences when traveling. Algorithms on the large travel sites push you to the most common experiences, which is frustrating. It's a huge market and encourage you to continue.
