> I actually found the metro stations incredibly clean

it depends on the time of the day and the standards you're used to.

I am from Rome, not the cleanest city in the World I might say, but I used to go to Paris frequently, my ex girlfriend lived there for 10 years and I found Paris a terrible patchwork of "looking clean, but not really clean", "smelly and not in a good way" and "rats on the streets of the center not scared at all by the people" together with "there are actually people living in the catacombs below the building I'm currently living in and we can't do anything about it"

We both were victims of robbery a few times and attempted robbery several times (one time I put my hand in the pocket of my jacket and shacked hands with a burglar that was looking for something to steal) in the metro stations, so we usually were very worried when we had to get one, we ended up walking a lot to avoid the stress, which ironically turned out to be a great idea, if there's something good I can totally agree about Paris is that it is one of the best cities to take a long walk.

I assume that this is an advertising piece to promote the newfound cleanliness for the upcoming Olympic games in the city, it's happening the same in Rome for the 2025 Jubilee.
And continues Sydney’s inability to build any public infrastructure without then selling it cheaply to a private company to then reap massive profits for decades from us. Sydney was already the most tolled city in the world before this opened. We’re still number 1 I guess…

My bank has done similar for a few years. If someone calls you, they ask you to open the phone app and you get an in-app notification (banner in the app itself, not OS related) that says “Click OK to confirm <rep name> is talking to you” (or some such). They can’t access you account details until you click it.

Pretty much fixed by asdf or any sane manager.. Also, two containers aren't slow at all, but rebuilding one completely from scratch is.

The latter is a good use case. No big deal to include a commit/version number, and a list of packages / libraries used in a lock file..

The problems with docker I have are: no lock files to pin versions. No integration with other package management tools. For example, I want to install my dependencies as a step in Docker. I don't want to manually copy over the list of dependencies from my lockfiles (gemfile, package, etc). The reason why I'd want this is that it speeds up builds.

We genuinely recommend starting with whatever you already have in your stack to prototype or produce applications with vector search. From the beginning, one should probably not start a new project with a complex micro-service architecture. The same as you can start with a full-text search using just Postgres or whatever you use as the main DB. However, as the requirements are getting higher and more complex, you probably should switch to a dedicated search engine to avoid the monolithic persistence anti-pattern. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/antipat...

Regarding the dedicated solution, the difference is always in the details. That detail might significantly impact if you are looking for precision or working with large data. First of all, filtering the vector similarity search is quite tricky, and it does not work with pre and post-filtering because the graph's connectivity gets lost. That is why we introduced filterable HNSW at the very beginning. https://qdrant.tech/articles/filtrable-hnsw/ Here is another quite good explanation by James Briggs: https://www.pinecone.io/learn/vector-search-filtering/

Going further, it is not only about being able to search. It is also about being able to scale. Optionally, use disk for cold data as more affordable storage and keep hot data in expensive RAM. Or using one of the built-in compression functionalities. The recently introduced Binary Quantization makes it possible to compress vector embeddings up to 32 times and speed up the search up to 40 times in parallel. This makes billion-scale vector search affordable only for enterprise companies. https://qdrant.tech/articles/binary-quantization/

Native vector databases build all their features around vectors, and vectors are the first-class citizens in the architecture of the database core engine, not just another type of index support.

Vector search is not only about Text Search. See: https://qdrant.tech/articles/vector-similarity-beyond-search...
It is also not even only about Search. Qdrant offers, for example, a dedicated Recommendation API, where you can submit negative and positive vector examples and get ready-made recommendation results back. https://qdrant.tech/articles/new-recommendation-api/ And the upcoming version of the engine will introduce even more functionalities like a new Discovery API, for example.

Ultimately, you do not need a vector database if you are looking for a simple vector search functionality. But you need one if you are looking to do more around it, and it is the central functionality of your application. It is just like using a multi-tool to make something quick or using a dedicated instrument highly optimized for the use case.
Thank you for your attention.
To be fair, Chroma is also written in Python. And while LanceDB and others are written in Rust, that doesn't automatically give it super powers.
In Chrome you can search bookmarks too. Start typing @bookmarks and it autocompletes search on your bookmarks.
Same with @tabs to search through open tabs.
My assumption is that this gives you the ability to locally encode vectors. This is useful for those not using API services to build their vectors.

One thing I really disliked when I was still in a job where I had lots of remote meetings was the awareness that a video stream of my face was constantly being broadcast to all participants, and I couldn’t say anything without it being full screen for everyone immediately. And it would stay full screen until someone else said something. This made any minor comment feel like something of top priority, and also a bit like a performance since it was video.

Related, what I disliked the most, especially in meetings with many participants, was the speed of the transition from no one being especially aware of my own presence, to - within a fraction of a second - completely filling everyone’s awareness, when speaking in a meeting.
This was not a pedantic comment. Saying OOP is more popular because it just came first is a complete misunderstanding of history. In fact, Lisp was much more popular than any OOP language for a long time, OOP only took the world by storm with C++ and Java, much, much later.
I worked remotely for 12 years. Here's how I perceived the experience.

Most of that time I only had to deal with phone + powerpoint conferences. That worked just fine for me.

COVID hit and management decided that not turning on our webcams was wrong in some way. I personally hated it; found it stressful and couldn't see the upside. Meeting in person is a much experience than that.

One on one Zoom meetings were different. There's a clear line of communication and I did't mind seeing the other person. Not that it added much, frankly, but it was fine.

All that said, I didn't feel that zoom vs phone was the main differentiator between a good and a bad environment for remote work (for me, anyway). The key difference was whether most of the decision making was communicated in writing or not. Even something simple like email is easily searchable and leaves a clear record of what was decided and why. Good luck searching a web meeting done three months ago.

>Cars used to require an absolutely huge amount of regular maintenance

To a degree ICEs still do. Check the recommended service intervals in the user manual on a modern car. You basically need to visit the shop at least every year or sometimes every 6 months.

Obviously the sky won't fall if you don't do it as often as they recommend and the car will run just fine, but then you're voiding your warranty in case something breaks.
Great project! Do you have a list of the training/fine tuning data that went into it?

A great use would be to enable one to have conversations with Pascal or Leibnitz, etc.

For instance, I published online the complete text of the Mémoires de Saint-Simon (written in 1745-1755, but describing the second part of the reign of Louis XIV and the Régence, 1695-1721).

Saint-Simon was described by his contemporaries to be one of the greats conversationalists of his time. It would be so cool to chat with him.
The passenger entertainment system typically displays some information related to flight location, speed, altitude, ETA and so on. Where does that info come from ?

Priscilla started her relationship with Elvis when she was 14. Resumed at 17 and married at 22.

Dunno quite what to think about it. I have a lingering thought that people mature later mentally / emotionally these days. But physically earlier.

Another important factor is that women have may more options these days so the pressure or inclination to marry is much less strong.
yes.

A flashed bomb threat. Flight doesn't take off, or is diverted to an alternate airfield, or otherwise misses its connection. That sort of thing can quickly cascade into six or seven cost figures. A widespread attack across a fleet could be crippling, at least the first time it happens.

Fair point, then you could claim it's similar to this DB with its reliance on Faiss. Despite that, Chroma at this point is more feature rich.

Are there banks/companies proactively trying to trick customers? Call, then throw up some red flags, then educate? Especially for older customers a "near-miss" might be helpful to lower the risk of them getting scammed.
Good and bad effects are not mutually exclusive. Coffee can, at the same time, be good for you on one metric and bad on another. The same for different time scales; coffee might be good for you on short-to-medium time scales, but bad on very long time scales.
Cups is not telling a lot. Are those two espressos, americanos, or something else?
In some jurisdictions I'm pretty sure you cannot shift this liability and this might just be a way for the bank to cover its own losses instead of ass.
> If someone calls you, they ask you to open the phone app and you get an in-app notification

You mean that if a genuine bank representative calls you then they prompt you to verify it. A fraudster will not do that and if the customer doesn't challenge them then the scam can continue.

One of my fears around getting older is not having the wits to protect myself from bank fraud like this. I don't have a solution.
I remember being surprised because it revealed such a major rift between scifi fans who were fairly likely to have come across concepts of simulated worlds before, and "normals" who hadn't. So many people were astounded at the very idea, and I really didn't understand why at the time.

What's not so funny is that /bin/[ has no way of enforcing this syntax rule, or any other. Just like sed can't enforce any syntax rules on its regular expressions. This is why the shell is still a crock of shit for scripting even with "set -e" on.

The invoked binary has no way of aborting script execution. All it can do is barf out on stderr and return an error code, which the shell interprets as false and `if [ "x" = "x"` (without ]) goes into the else branch.

I was involved in the recovery of an Exchange environment after a fairly recent high-profile attack.

The exploit was a zero-day, so <shrug>. Maybe the exploited endpoint could have been hardened somehow, maybe not.

However, the team in question used replication in place of fucking backup. And the attacker got into all the datacentres.

The hosted mail product had low rate of change and was not a money-maker. The employees were long-time and clearly just in it for the pay.

The lesson I draw from it this is: look for teams in your organisation that have become complacent. Parachute in a good engineer for a month. If he or she reports obvious failings, then start firing, and get someone in with a little appetite to improve things.

The second lesson I draw is, when private equity takes over a public company, run - don't walk - to the exit.

I had the same experience.

I was having a blast being an explorer in a scout ship, shuttling interesting characters around, never getting into any battles because my ship was fast enough to outrun any pirates and I never pissed anyone off.

Unfortunately at a certain point the game the railroads you into a storyline where you are forced to pick a side in some galactic war and entire sections of the map become unpassable because everyone attacks you, even if you are pootling along in a civilian ship with no weapons. I think you're supposed to build up a fleet and kill everybody, but it's such a big change in both tone and gameplay that it really bummed me out. Oh well.

Not really. AFAIK there are platform doors on lines 1, 4, 14 and 13.

Lines 1, 4 and 14 have rubber tyres and platform doors because they are fully automated (or in the case of line 4 in the process of being fully automated). So far Paris only fully automates rubber tyres lines.

Line 13 has classic metal tyres and is only semi-automated, but it has platform doors because it is very high traffic. Most Parisians avoid line 13 at rush hours because it is probably the most packed line in the city.
Thank you for the article. I was not aware of that article. My first implementation was done in 1997 or 1998.

Never checked patents because I think this is a natural construction and I always wondered why there were no other public ideas around this problem. This is not the first time it happened to me.

Banks in my country send all sorts of emails with "scammy" subjects, and then when you open them their banner says "Don't fall for such scams" or "Scams start this way". Maybe if they added an option to opt-out of such emails, it would be pretty nice! Now it's just more inbox noise.

And of course, their "scam-like" emails end up in the inbox, while real scammers emails would end up in the Spam folder.

Having a first-class UI for bookmarks really does make a difference. I used to agree with some of the sentiments expressed in comments here - that bookmarking is a write-only activity, that just feels satisfying without actually being useful. Then I started using Zotero for my bookmarks, organizing them into collections, tagging them, adding descriptions ("Abstract"), etc., and I find that I actually go back to them a lot more, and find it really useful.

The UI browsers provide for bookmarks is pretty atrocious, and seems to have been the main reason I didn't go back to use them much - which I didn't realize until I had the idea to use Zotero as a bookmark manager. It has a lot of the features that Grimoire lists, including separate "user accounts" - I have a separate Work profile, for which I've created a desktop shortcut the same I do for Firefox [1], with its own collections and tags.

I've seen a number of projects come over the last couple years. I'm the author of txtai (https://github.com/neuml/txtai) which I started in 2020. How you approach performance is the key point.

One thing I wonder is if this works when you call Monzo as well - once you give them your details, does the same thing appear in the app? Because that opens the door for a man-in-the-middle attack. Actually, in that case it makes the attack so much worse, because it legitimises the attacker.

I think we are talking about different things here or the conversation is not clear.

The assertion you mentioned is the "what" assumption while what you said is the "how" we came to that assertion. Most probably you take my word idea in a specific sense other than I wanted to use. My answer was informal because we are here in HN and not writing a paper.
