Postgres AI seems to be a "managed solution" while this is an extension you could use on your self-hosted instance. But, under the hood, they are very similar.

You have to be from a parallel planet or a limited bubble to not notice that Japanese games have always generally had fewer bugs than Western games, and much less need for patches, ever since arcades and the NES.
What political concessions are they demanding? The primary one is reducing government spending. The US Govt cannot keep its current rate of spending and the democrats in the House of Representatives don’t yet see that. Interest on the government debt has grown to $640 billion dollars in 2023. That is 16% of all government revenues now (in 2023). The outstanding debt only grows due to the ~$1.5 Trillion dollar deficit between revenue and the reckless spending. To say congress has been spending like a drunken sailor would be an insult to drunken sailors. I hope congress changes that in the new budget bill by cutting spending.
That link just took me to my addresses page. To change delivery dates, I had to edit my home address, click the dropdown labled "Add preferences, notes, access codes and more", then open the accordian header for "Can we deliver to this address on weekends?", which reviews yes/no buttons for both Saturday and Sunday delivery.
maybe check out PICO 8. It's basically a VM (self styled fantasy game console) that runs on a bunch of devices and an active community. https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

A similar project that I'm eager to hack on (or maybe try my hand at implementing something similar in WASM) is the UXN platform. https://100r.co/site/uxn.html

And if we're already talking VM platforms to explore, there's no reason that someone who doesn't want to do software professionally can't get a lot of enjoyment from some basic syntax knowledge and making modifications to software they use every day (whether that's writing a userscript in your browser or exploring your favorite game via mods)

a better example is a meetup in a closed room. (i just attended one of those). you are clearly part of the group, but you get to overhear private conversations, and sometimes it is appropriate to join in, and sometimes it isn't. the difference is that when i walk around the room from group to group, i get signals if i am welcome to join or i am being ignored. these signals are missing online.
We did our billing with great plains accounting software which still exists as Microsoft Dynamics GP.

When 56k came around you had to do ISDN, but for many rural ISPs the tariffs for ISDN was cost prohibitive so POTS was the only option.

I worked for a few ISPs and negotiated telcos to bring in redundant OC12s to support the need, allowing them to use our data centers for the local switching. We never needed that capacity ourselves, but as it was before they started using multiple colors per fiber that was the smallest they would run.

I also started out with stacks of external modems and NT RAS.

I remember that the plastic on stacked modems would blacken due to heat in about 6 months.

I dealt with sendmail, bind, etc and didn't do the account provisioning but it was written in Delphi.

As I had written an entire 7 digit double entry accounting system in college in two weeks backed by dbase, this stories excel and paper based system seems like an anomaly for the time.

NT we hosting was a pain, but front page did make it a popular option you had to support.

While I did introduce Linux, we were mostly on DEC Alphastations because you could support a lot more load for less money than the sun boxes at the time.

It was a fun time. I remember hopping on #nanog on irc because I couldn't get uunet support to pull routs from us and had them pulling from us in less than an hour.

i3/8GB/128GB/1080p IPS + webcam

Essentially they have defined "acceptable" performance across the board and given that a name. If I was looking for cheap hardware it ticks the boxes just about. "AI" is just a transparent marketing attempt at throwing a hot buzzword that most people don't understand into the mix.

Not awful but it really could do with a more ambitious tier, a lot of manufacturers will meet the requirements as set out (all laptops shown have 1080p displays, which is disappointing as many chromebooks had better before, 3:2 and 4k displays). We had 16GB chromebook options nearly a decade ago (mar 2015).

In fact I think would have been preferable if they made this the chromebook minimum requirements and called those with less "chromebook lite" ("Go" already served as this I think?); because celeron/4GB/64GB/<1080p display/webcam is really pushing things for a new device in late 2023 onwards, even as a facebook machine.

PS anyone responsible for the chromebook site out there, most of the device information pages are 404'ing; https://www.google.com/chromebook/discover/pdp-asus-chromebo...

My relatively new stance is that sometimes having an Emacs process that doesn't share the state is a feature, not a flaw. Specifically I started using non-daemon Emacs processes alongside my main Emacs daemon to compartmentalize my work. Each non-trivial project, or "workspace", gets its own Emacs process, possibly with a persistent state with desktop-save & desktop-change-dir. The newish tab-bar-mode helps with that a lot as I cannot stand using multiple frames on a non-daemon Emacs due to it not always being obvious when I close just a frame and when I close the whole process.

zstd has higher compression levels that near LZMA and you can additionally train a specific dictionary to be used in compressing particular kind files.
As much as I appreciate that I always wondered how many programs actually respect all those tweaks.
All airports have capacity constraints, there's the limit to how many planes can take-off/land, but also with how many gates and maintenance facilities they have. I actually support the idea of shifting some of this capacity to nearby airports, especially if it results in lower fares for passengers.

If I'm generous with their intentions, Australia were probably trying encourage tourism to smaller cities, bring business to local economies, increase competition on quieter routes, etc. Unfortunately it seems Qatar thought it easier/cheaper to fly the last leg empty instead of marketing tickets to the final destination.

For what it's worth, I actually flew London-Melbourne-Adelaide earlier this year. I booked a separate flight for MEL-ADL since it was cheaper than booking the whole trip through a single carrier.

I have one popular project I've worked since around 2010. Lately I've let some of the long time users who can also code maintain it though. It's a character creation editor for a game, a bit like second life in a way. (it's called pac3 for garrymsmod)

I don't have any numbers apart from steam workshop which claims 800k current subscribers, though that doesn't say anything about active users. But there are a lot of tutorials, discord groups, etc centered around this so I'd call it popular.

The way I maintain this project is not very professional. I maximize my own joy first because if I don't have that, I can't work on the project.

The community is loud, maybe because the community is also mostly young gamers.
Sometimes I break things and people complain. Sometimes they can call me names, write long emotional posts about how I should revert something and how everything was better in the past version.

But overall I enjoy working on the project and seeing the amazing things people create with it that I could never foresee.

There are several channels for feature requests (github, discord, steamcommunity), but I don't actively follow it. I usually check when I'm not sure what to do but still feel like working on it.

Sometimes people contact me directly to ask if I can add X feature. Sometimes that works.

For features in general I try to implement something everyone can benefit from, since the editor allows you to create things from smaller building blocks, I'd rather make those smaller building blocks necessary to create the high level feature that was requested.

Airlines exploit their customers, fail to disclose customer rights, and bend laws to their convenience all the time. The public would lose nothing if airlines were not bailed out every time there is a crisis. All the assets: The planes, the pilots, etc. could be subsidized through a crisis and acquired by new airlines and those wise enough to be be to survive a crisis. TBTF and "flag carriers" are welfare capitalism.
First of all - such asteroid need to exist in the first place. Much more likely that there are asteroids which have higher concentrations of rare ores compared to earth, but nowhere near being "mostly of out them".

Second - humans need to locate this deposit. Remotely. In the asteroid field. We are still finding out deposits in the habitable Earth regions, because that is a hard task, talking about locating deposits in the Belt is an impossible task, and will remain so for a long time.

Third - we need to get there. Excluding flyby's, the best humanity managed is to deliver two 1 ton vehicles to the Mars. And there we had a luxury of aerobraking to save a lot of fuel. Belt is way farther, there is no aerobrake possibility and we will have to deal with other asteroids along the way. We don't have such tech.

Fourth - we will need to strap engines to the asteroid, remotely, with an hour signal lag. Engines which don't exist in any form today. And we need to get fuel to them somehow. Impossible task.

Fifth, we need a Moon colony with robots or humans.

Sixth - high energy tech on the Moon.

Seven - launch facility on the Moon.

And I've probably missed a few other impossible hurdles, writing this. Then IF all of that would exist, you would need it to be at least as cheap as Earth based mining, which is a pipe dream. Any space tech is more expensive by design, sometimes orders of magnitude more expensive. AND finally there need to be an infinitely elastic market on Earth for this new source of materials. Imagine you will sell a billion tons of platinum tomorrow, the price would crash and never ever recover. You see this yourself in your last sentence.
I do remember a funny memory where some time later I found an old laptop in the trash. It was black and white, I have no idea what it was.

I think it looked something like this, but even older looking than this:

and it had nothing on it except a PDF reader or something, so I would pretend to write important documents and turn it on and off many times throughout the day because I couldn't really do much else with it, and I was running on fumes as far as using my imagination as there was literally -nothing- on it.

And yes, had a huge part of who I am today

> Interestingly enough, the concern in the early stages is actually not at all about hiring people, it's about personal motivation and technology fit.

Is this in regards to running a startup? In that case, I have little to add. But my initial understanding would be, the startup needs to be able to reach product market-fit as quickly as possible. Which is where using a boring technology (to the founders/founding team) would reduce distractions/unknowns.

2. You needed to use something different for a systems language context (innovation token time)

Oh yeah, 100% agree and they're much less toxic for it. But messaging apps like telegram because of the lack of reach of their groups, also makes them more difficult to moderate which is worth noting too. The people who believe whatever extremism is on offer are not likely to report those channels, and even if they were, Telegram could just remove the reporting user, say "we'll take care of it" and do nothing because the likelihood of followup is basically nil.
It seems like this knowledge has been bouncing around for nearly a decade. Why the slow adoption? This should be a slam-dunk.

So I agree 100% with this, but postgres is so easy and scales infinitely (for the meaning of infinite in 99% of business use cases), I suppose I don’t understand why I would choose MySQL. Do folks just use it as a user cache? Most systems I’ve designed of worked on have required a central database so MySQL never seemed the right fit.
We need a safe space for this. We could call them tea rooms.
Question: how much is the A510 optimized for energy efficiency vs. optimized for die size?

AnandTech tech did some comparison where the Apple's E-cores are several times more performant than A55 while consuming only slightly more power, and I'm curious if this discrepancy could be explained by different optimization target. If this is not it, could you speculate on what are the reasons for the discrepancy?

(I assume A55 is not different enough from A510 to render this question obsolete)

You are right about the argument in itself. It is poor. But the argument is not in meat of the argument, but in optics. The perception of things as 'rules for me but not for thee' almost immediately overrules even basic logic. In other words, make pain even across the board and people might listen.

That seems to be pretty much the issue with the ASLEF/RMT strikes on the UK railways at the moment. At least in the sense that "emergency" means we'd have to cancel a train if someone doesn't work that overtime.
The problem is not just with the volume lost water but that they also dump concentrated brine water into the sewer system and most of these companies never actually came though with their promises to upgrade municipal treatment facilities.

Two things: First, does the problems still happen in places that aren't financially motivated like a hobby forum some guy hosts or on volunteer Mastodon servers?

And don't internet forums broadly speaking also have problems even if they don't have feeds engineered for engagement? For example 4chan is just chronological sorting.
Skills gap from a chunk of the team, lack of time, lack of trust in developers, not accepting help when offered, not accepting that developers have the best interest of the company in mind, not accepting qualification of developers.

Interesting idea; I'd thought that such merging is quite rare. Still quite a conundrum why to pick the newer date for the human readable "age", and the older date for the timestamp.

At this moment I see discrepancies on the front page, rounded and sorted (hours):

- 63, 64, 62, 57, 56,
- 30, 27, 22, 22, 12,
- 9, 8,
- 1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.04, 0.03, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01

So 12 out of 30 are strangely shifted by more than an hour.

take away the default countries, and instead add Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

Then make sure you also click "Align axis scales" you will see that Sweden only had fewer restrictions than its neighbors during a very short period at the beginning of the pandemic (during the first wave).

After that, Sweden had both more stringent restrictions than all its neighbors, and had those restrictions in place for a longer period of time.

The narrative - the historical revisionism, the myth that a very large number of people want to promote, and which has even become some sort of amnesiac 'reality' for many Swedes - should not be mistaken for what really happened.
