>Today, it seems that Python is pitched for almost everything, short of ethernet drivers.

I think the "Python is pitched for almost everything" in that sentence shows a misinterpretation of gp's phrasing of "use case".

The "use case" isn't about different subject matter domains as if it was a claim about using Python as a universal language for writing database kernels or AAA games.

Instead, the "use case" is about the 2-level 2-language architecture of (1) a high-level scripting language and (2) extension modules that can be written in low-level C and imported into the interpreter. That's the "glue language" + "C Language" to combine the strengths of each language approach. (In contrast, Julia took approach of designing a language that was "fast enough" to avoid the "2 languages issue".)

>Where is this single use case intent articulated, by whom, and what year was it? What is the use case?

The Python "ergonomics use case" (not "domains use case") was originated by Python's inventor Guido van Rossum from the beginning in 1991. A clone of the 1991 Python source code has Guido's commentary for importing C modules:

https://github.com/smontanaro/python-0.9.1

Modern frameworks and libraries like TensorFlow and Pytorch continue the same use case of "high-level script glue code calling low-level C code" that was there in 1991. You can't write a tight cpu loop in pure Python code to paint a 60fps video game. That's not Python's intended use case. That philosophy is why a library like Tensorflow only has Python code for users to "glue" together the neural network graph which then calls out to the C++ code for the expensive cpu loops of backpropagation, gradient descent, etc.
If that was the case, you'd think they'd make their airport less miserable. They have some of the worst food options I've seen at an airport in a long time, presumably because any restaurant would take away precious real estate for the ever-present slot machines.
Method(s) for turning dbms into a replacement for OS might be applicable here.
Is this an admission that you can use your existing databases instead of buying into the specialized db trend?

My understanding is that the embedding and comparison metric are what is important, and that you can use plugins like pg_vector to extend the applications of your database (not sure how this is for other db ecosystems). Curious to hear what people more in the guts of these things have to say?

So... Like Datomic?

Sometimes the result of function call in Datomic is a copy of the database with the updates applied. It allows you to preview how your transaction will affect the data, were that choice to be made. Datalog allows for this kind of return.

Were Postgres to add something like this (and if I'm not inferring too much from the title and commentary here) it wouldn't the first time that the industry took a lesson from Rich Hickey's resurrection of older tech (Datalog).
At the very least it cleans up the streets. I really don't care to see people shooting up every time I leave the BART. Enabling that is not a good use of my tax dollars.
a) The issue with Microsoft was that it had a monopoly in operating systems. At the time it was about ~95% market share. Gates woke up one morning, decided web apps were a threat to this, saw Netscape as their major competitor and decided to eliminate them. It didn't try to compete with them. It went straight for elimination by bundling IE and coercing OEMs e.g Compaq to not bundle Netscape. Using a monopoly in one market to force a monopoly in another is exactly what the laws were designed to prevent.

I don't dispute these facts. And I don't think they dispute my comment. By mentioning US v. Microsoft, I pointed out that there are similarities between Microsoft in the 90s and Apple today.

> b) Global and domestic iMessage usage is relevant. In fact it is the whole point. You need to demonstrate that there is an absence or distortion of a market for anti-trust laws to be applied.

Thank you for the correction.

> c) Apple is not trying to eliminate Beeper, they have no monopoly in anything and there is clear evidence of a fair and functioning market by the presence of WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Signal etc.

Unless one can believe that Apple is both willing to block Beeper and not eliminate it, then Apple is trying to eliminate Beeper as a Messenger competitor. From their statement: "We took steps to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials in order to gain access to iMessage."

I think Apple has a reasonable argument for doing so. Though, in a world where Apple controls the only App Store where iOS users are blocked from downloading alternative SMS applications, they do hold a monopoly over both how iOS users install applications, and the only SMS application available on iOS: Messenger. Non-iOS users who want to message iOS users with the same quality of service as iMessages may only do so by installing 3rd party software. Otherwise they need to implicitly agree to having messages treated as second class, to Apple's likely enrichment. I think reasonable people can perceive some amount of anti-competitive intent in Apple's action. Should Apple be able to block 3rd parties from using the iMessage service infrastructure? Possibly, but it's hard to argue that doing so is pro-competition.

I think most of the concern over Apple's refusal to admit 3rd party iMessage clients will be eliminated if and when they make good on their promise to support RCS next year.
Beeper's ultimate goal is to promote the Matrix protocol, and bridge proprietary networks to the open protocol

This is what I'm trying to get at with my questions. I think it is easy to give an answer of short term thinking and move on. But that's not a real answer. I want to understand the incentive structures that have led to this (and this "Goodhart's Hell") situation and if it's unstable as I presume.

There's a specific concern because of the large sentiment that the big difference between industry and academia is that in industry your products have to actually work. Ignoring the weird premise and ignoring the different TRL context, I'm not convinced that industry needs to actually make usable products. Aren't we also all complaining about how shit isn't working adequately? Google failing at seemingly simple things, and decreased quality of search. Amazon being a shitty monopoly and exploiting that to be anti-consumerism and not dealing with obvious spam and product manipulation that could be detected by a Naive Bayes filter. Or Twitter being overrun with spam bots that also could trivially be detected from a Naive Bayes filter or my block list, but blocking them actually decreases the visibility of my tweets so I'm actively encouraged by the platform to let these bots exist and follow me and like my comments.

And why would investors want this? I don't buy that there's an exclusive desire for quarterly profits and that Wallstreet does look for a diversification of their portfolios for long term blue chip stocks as well as short term gambles. That it'd require absolute insanity for a CEO or board to allow short term incentives to drive a well established company.

I really do think there's something going on but we're afraid to ask the deeper questions because we don't know the answers but I want to be encouraging that discussion even if it is thinking out loud. But maybe that insanity exists and this frustration is a result of a demonstration of it. But I don't want to believe that because I think humans are capable of so much more. That even the average person is better than an LLM but there's just issues of communication. Because even idiocracy is driven by incentive structures so I don't buy the "lol people dumb" argument, even if using better words and wrapped up in a nice bow.
As we know, the devices are not attested, because beeper works. They're also not attested on old iPhone versions which are valid iMessage parties. Some new devices being bound to the hardware key doesn't change that.

Spam doesn't matter here - same app is used for SMS, which gets spam, so there's nothing new here.

But if Apple wanted to, they'd just sort out a deal that allows hardware signing of iMessage accounts on Android. That's not an unfixable problem.
Back then the networks weren't so locked down to the clients, so it wasn't as big of an issue to have friends on various networks either. I have to call out IRC too.

so, if you want to join two things, a parent and children, you get duplication of parent details

eg, select P.name, C.* from Parent P inner join Child C on C.Parent_id = P.Id where P.Id = 1234

so from what I can tell is this idea would have a result set of a Parent table and child tables based on the join and projection with no duplication? At least that's what I understand it to be. That seems useful.

Not necessarily ego-driven but in my experience they usually come together. If there was trust, all that would be needed is more communication. Without it reporting teams are not given autonomy.

I am currently working on an editor. Definitely interesting to try different ideas just to find out why certain things in Vim are that way. Also the "." key is more complicated than I expected, the exact start of an edit operation depends on the behaviour of certain default keybindings.

It is that analysis in specific that I object too. Its not obvious energy will increase the way you describe; as ive written elsewhere, the factors involved in current population/birth declines are not related to environmental carrying capacity, they are more closely related to the global monetary system and central planning, and it could have a relationship to high levels of economic development.

Existing political issues aside, an entire industry can die off and we can still call that growth, as we do when its replaced by something that creates more value at a lower cost, like the beginning of the automotive industry ending the reign of horses. We dont know if quantum computers will ever be realized for practical purposes, if they are then maybe we can unlock all the processing power anyone could ever need with much lower power consumption, or maybe we dont but computation simply becomes a less pressing matter after we reach some unknown level of technology (ie. If you are trying to capture a black hole to use as an energy source, you really might only need the computational power of a ti-86.

There is also, in my observation, a type of material ladder that bends ever towards the crystalization (forgive the terminology) of chemicals. Where raw wood rots in weeks to months, treated lumber can last a decade, vinyl can last 2-3, steel for 100+, who knows what comes next? These materials are likely to require lots of energy to create, but require less over their lifespan. There is a similar ladder in energy, starting with humans burning poop and currently sitting somewhere between nuclear and natural gas, where each step up on the ladder requires greater capital investment but produces less pollution and has lower lifetime costs, where nuclear is like the diamond of energy, huge investment to create something that will last this side of forever.

> Schema covers the definition of a bunch of related tables.

> A database can run as many schemas at it wants, for as many applications as it wants.

Even in the scope of a single application, the word “schema” can be ambiguous. For example, I have a Spring Boot application, which stores its data in Postgres. Inside the JAR there is a collection of SQL files which are executed by Flyway at startup, and we call those files “the schema”. At the same time, we have a configuration option to tell the application which Postgres schema to use within its database, and we actually use that so multiple QA environments can all share the same database. [0] So even in this single app the word “schema” is being used in two different (albeit related) ways. Maybe we just need to accept that language is like that, many words have multiple meanings (sometimes even related meanings) and the context determines which of those meanings applies in any particular case.

[0] maybe should have put them in separate catalogs, but ended up going with separate schemas in the same catalog because that was the simplest configuration that met the need
