Each year I tried different things, not in any particularly strategic fashion. I think the biggest was moving it to be the first thing I did in the morning. And also using a predefined workout so I didn’t have to think about. Then following Tony Horton’s advice of “even when you’re not feeling it, just press play.”

There were so many days I didn’t want to but just pressed play and figured I’d get 10 minutes in. But I knew it I just decided to do the whole workout.

Eventually moved off of P90x and mixed in a variety of predefined and made up workout to keep it interesting. But now I don’t feel on my game if I didn’t get a chance to workout in the morning, so it’s become a pretty strong habit.

You are right that there are many trade-offs between HNSW and IVFFLAT.

E.g. IVFFLAT requires there be significant amount of data in the table, before the index is created, and assumes data distribution does not change with additional inserts (since it chooses centroids during the initial creation and never updates them)

We have also generally had harder time getting high recall with IVFFLAT on vectors from embedding models such as ada-002.

There are trade-offs, some of which we will explore in later blog posts.

This post is about one thing - HNSW index creation time across two systems, at a fixed 99% recall.

I agree. I don’t have the physical space to keep the content I’d like to keep, however, so I don’t buy physical media. What I do have is a lot of pirated BluRay et. al. rips in cloud storage hooked up to Infuse for viewing. Works well. So long as I manage the storage properly and don’t go to platforms that scan for this stuff I shouldn’t lose it.
Nope. BYD is currently outselling Tesla in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. It is just a matter of time Ford and GM will slaughter Tesla when the tech is prevalent enough. By the way, Tesla has their giga factory in China and still can't outcompete BYD even if just purely on cost. Remember the huge Tesla deal by Hertz? Yup, gone up in smoke. If they do BYD they still have a chance. Tesla is just too expensive, easily double the price and very cpstly to maintain over the long run. Their replacement parts and labour is very costly which seems to be actively suppressed not make into news (similar to their crashes).
I've found 'one sec' [0] to be one of the most valuable apps on my phone.
Its concept is refreshingly simple – it uses an iOS Shortcut to introduce a customizable delay whenever you attempt to open a chosen app. In my case, I didn't even have to delete or hide the app I wanted to quit. Over time, my brain associated the extra seconds with a tad bit of boredom, naturally curbing the impulse to open it frequently and after a couple of months, I just completely forgot this app existed.

Surprisingly, 'one sec' is free, even though I remember paying for it around ~4 years ago, at some point the developer shifted to a subscription-based model, though it is entirely optional. There might be similar apps on the market too, or you can even try crafting your own iOS Shortcut. Overall, I highly recommend giving this a shot before diving in and uninstalling apps outright.

For me the key to success was to accept and to internalize the following facts:

- 95% of content and posts have no value and are simply a waste of time

- Using any of the usual platforms for more than 10 minutes will damage me and make me a worse person (mental health, attention span, it makes me angry, etc...)

- Basically the only reason why I use those services is to kill time and to avoid responsibilities which I have in the real world

- All of those services have net negative effect on society and humanity and by using them I support a system which I despise

To summarize roughly: There is simply no value in using any of these platforms. Doing virtually anything else will be better for me and the world.

Once I really accepted those facts it was not really that hard to stop using them. The problem was that for a long time I told myself (at least subconsciously) that there is some value in using some of those services.

For example I told myself "I'm really exhausted now and I wouldn't be doing anything productive anyways, so I might aswell doomscroll for a bit." Or "There really is some high quality content on YouTube, it'd be a shame to miss the quality videos if I abandon the platform as a whole."

You need to get to a point where your brain immediately calls bullshit as soon as you come up with an excuse like this.

Texas has 100GW of solar and 50GW of batteries in ERCOT’s interconnect queue. Eleven times smaller than Australia, far more rapid and ambitious decarbonization based on the economics alone. I would not expect the remaining coal (14GW) and gas (66GW) in Texas to be around long.

(we deployed about 1GW/day of solar on average globally in 2023, and this is expected to rise to ~2.7GW in 2024, reaching 1TW deployed annually; the US is also now one of the largest LNG exporters in the world)

Greater public scrutiny is bad? Or is it only bad when it's in retaliation for something? More importantly, why is this form of "mob justice" bad? It's easy to see why it's bad to subject people to extrajudicial violence, but in this case all conduct is done within the bounds of the legal system.
I was gonna say, "or tube", but then again, I think the tubes were standard models so you'd just bring your tubes in to the department store, test them in the tube tester⁰ and get your replacement.

Politics in a democratic regime end up reflecting the desire of the people, if somebody is to blame for this mess are the voters themselves.

This situation makes AFD temporarily strong, but also gives space to other parties to perhaps say yes again to atomic energy and other non-conventional ideas.

Also brings more power to CDU and other parties that resembles more stability. Politics is a self-balancing system, it's not so useful to care about it.

Technology not having a feature at all, or majorly in the way advertised is a massive pain. The WD hard drive fiasco was bad too.

Looking at your list, I ended up going with QNAP to be safe .. for flexibility to get anything I needed the way I wanted to. The choices at the time were a ARM based CPU or intel celeron with very low power. I went with the latter, to realize I probably would have been good as well with the Synology I was eyeing.

The bliss of set and forget, and multiple types and locations of backups happening with good reliability is thanks to one change in the NAS space.

Existing players were expensive, and to the degree that there is profit in large enterprise storage customers wanting a backup locally in each field office for example, the NAS industry has been able to provide enterprise class features down market relatively quick and affordably.

Your posts made me recall how much I had to research the enterprise features to try and find what I wanted, equivalently in a NAS, and it ended up definitely on the Prosumer/SMB models, but ultimately in the high throughput NAS' that focused on video.

I somehow ended up with 2.5 GbE so long ago. In my case I could have just bought used fibre channel scsi enclosures, but I wanted to be mindful of power needs, and in turn backup power. It wasn't an ideal time to buy then, but is much better now. In fact, I can probably buy a second or third used version on what I have and it will work together pretty OK, including ECC if I want.

I try and remember to follow a rule to spend and buy 10-15% more capacity than I need when buying, if not one level up to get true long term utility value. For example, always at least 2 more empty drive bays than you need. If you're buying a car, consider a hatchback. If your'e buying a hatchback, consider a small SUV, etc. Buy a little bigger and nicer to let your life grow into it, or buy thrice.
Matt Lakeman's "Notes on $PLACE" have become my favorite random email update to get. They're all excellent. If anyone knows more about him (does he write anywhere else?), would love to learn more about his background and travel experiences.
The context is important. “All Lives Matter” sprung up as a reaction to “Black Lives Matter”. It was hardly ever said outside of the context of Black Lives Matter, and if it was, it was probably referring to something unrelated, such as animal rights.

The only reason people say “All Lives Matter” as a response to “Black Lives Matter” is to void or nullify the latter statement, and as such a very obvious dog whistle for something which is hate speech.

Looks like the Java (balls to the walls DSL) I write when I’m just writing Java to have fun.

It misses the point though that it takes a handful of lines to write Quicksort in a functional programming language as opposed to 50 or so lines in BASIC or FORTRAN 77. Of course most of us these days aren’t old enough to remember writing a Quicksort in languages like that and might not appreciate the difference but you might as well code it in assembly language as in an old language that doesn’t support recursion.
Barely a quarter of women have ever used an app and retention is dire. 50% bounce after the first experience, 10% leave a year for meaningful relationships, and the rest —those that aren't sex workers and bots promoting sex workers— get to fill their boots. This tallies with why apps are a 9:1 sausagefest.

And I might suggest that the standards you've seen changing might correlate with your own age and your own shifting standards.

If those women are your idea of poison, remind yourself that you're choosing to drink from this tiny minority of self-selecting women. I don't think it's fair to blame them or the well owner for your proclivities.
sschueller offered a differing opinion, klyrs attempted to gatekeep the conversation.

I agree the rollover to level 0 would be the ultimate milestone, if it really resets to the beginning and doesn't introduce a bunch of new challenges and crash conditions. But this would be a much less satisfying milestone, as it just leads to the endurance-fest of being able to play until your physical/mental stamina is exhausted.
A minor 1.7-magnitude earthquake hit New York City
> This couldn't be further from the truth.

Let's wait for facts (ie. the accident report) before making such statements.

> There was confusion and no evacuation was ordered by the crew over the PA.

Of course there was confusion, that is inevitable. Again, we do not have solid information on what PAs were made, but from the looks of the damage and the likely accident sequence, the main avionics bay was pretty much completely destroyed. It's fairly likely the pilots were not able to make any evacuation order by PA on account of half the plane's electronics being on fire a kilometre behind them.

> The passengers managed it themselves. If it were a crew-directed evacuation they would have blocked the door leading to the still-running engine as you pointed out.

Video clearly shows an orderly evacuation, supervised by cabin crew, who can be seen directing from the exits with flashlights and leaving last. I don't know where you got the idea it was passenger managed from. It appears that the exits facing the worst of the fire were not deployed which is additional evidence of a properly managed evacuation. I don't know their SOP wrt. running engines, or if this engine was even 'running' and not just freewheeling (it doesn't seem to be producing meaningful air movement), but it appears they made a rational decision to use the R1 exit, since everyone survived and the evacuation was pretty quick (~2 minutes).

> It took the firefighters over six minutes to respond to the site of the burning aircraft. In the US and Europe this would be unheard of, the fire brigade would be rolling as soon as the aircraft hit the ground.

I haven't found video of the very early moments after the aircraft stopped, but there appears to already be foam laid down under and on the aircraft and at least two trucks attending during the late stages of the evacuation, so I don't know where you got this 6 minutes from. Given the circumstances, the crew waiting 6 minutes to begin evacuating doesn't sound reasonable.

> The only reason hundreds of people are not dead is directly attributable to the Japanese being an overly polite and orderly culture.

Yes, the passengers are also an important part of an effective evacuation, and it is why you should not ignore the safety briefing and follow the instructions of the crew. Good on the passengers for effecting a successful evacuation in this case. You might well be right it would have gone down differently elsewhere, with the eventual report yet again espousing the importance of leaving the baggage behind and maintaining order. This is reason to praise the passengers' behaviour and learn from it, not somehow criticize it as 'overly polite and orderly'.

I am sure there were things that could have been done better, but this was a successful and quick evacuation. It's far too early to decide what went well and what could be done better, but it's pretty clear that it was a good job - everyone got out quickly and with minimal injury.
This is a good example of what I just said. I don't think there's much for us to learn, or to hash out, or to be curious about, by trying to pick apart what you just said there. It's written in a way to foreclose further discussion.

Close friends and family would more/less say “you’re in good shape, I want to do that,” and I’d basically tell them my story and how I made it happen. Tell them how good I feel most days, have confidence, etc.

Employers feel like they've been forced into remote work and salary creep by covid and faangs. They feel so powerless that any pushback from a potential employee makes them think they're going to have a permanent headache working with you.

The way things are you'd have much better luck negotiating a salary review after a six month probation or something.
Wondering why nothing is said about compression? For MySQL you have Rocksdb with high ZSTD compression. Is the Postgres solution to just use compressed filesystem like ZFS? I could not find much info when researching Postgress, except for Toast compression, which didn't seem very strong.

I have a huge DB which would take many TB but now runs on a 500GB footprint. Thanks to Rocksdb/MySQL. Pondering a move to Postgress, but seemed like a step down in this regard.
Odin's official compiler is not a "simple implementation", and Odin was not designed to be trivial to implement either. Where did you get this falsehood from? None of what you said is correct.

Odin is fundamentally about simple as-in _intuitive_ to use, and intuition are anything but simple as-in _simplex_. Intuitions are extremely complex and complicated things, even if they seem "easy" to use.

Designing for people's intuitions about what feels right and feels "intuitive", is a lot more complicated than you realize. The entire constant value system requires a big-number implementation to get right.

Looking at the compiler for more than 10 minutes would you should that it is anything but trivial (I will refrain from using the term simple here since it is overloaded). Odin is more complicated than C, but less complicated than C++. That is both in terms of the language and the compiler itself. You can write a C compiler is <8KLOC (in C). It would probably take <50KLOC to write a _minimal_ Odin compiler (in C), if not more.
In the last decade or so I’ve kept subscriptions to one or more streaming services at least all of that time. Recently, though, I couldn’t really be bothered to manage the horde of new platforms and accompanying content splits and weird platform content wars. Looking at you Disney. So I went back to piracy because the current situation isn’t worth spending the effort on. Glad, too, because more and more platforms are pushing ads in some capacity and half the reason I used the services is to get away from ads by giving money. Sure, the “lower” tiers may be ad supported for most, but give it a bit of time before they start working them into the regular tiers and start charging more for no ads.

I do pay for yt premium and Apple TV+ since they’re either bundled with Apple One or worth paying for (for now) like YT. The clickbait shitshow is getting worse though and I’m soon to cancel that since I only keep up with a handful of channels.
External index creation also requires that a significant amount of data be in the table for it to be worth it, along with all the other potential issues.

I really wish there was a way for me (small startup) to be able to use a managed postgres with multiple paid extensions. But they all want to push their own cloud. So you need a plain postgres instance, a timescale instance, a paradedb instance, etc.

So what I end up recommending to people is to use whatever managed service their cloud provider offer that is similar to those postgres extension. Likely cheaper than spawning a full PG instance on third 3rd party cloud.
