More or less. Some books have as part of their copyright boilerplate a statement that corresponds to (some countries') fair use principles, e.g. “… except short excerpts for the purposes of review.”

(I know someone with hundreds of thousands of words on the web who does want their work to be ‘learned’ by the major LLMs, in the same sense that they want their work indexed by search engines, even if that turns out not to be considered fair use in their jurisdiction, but does not want it copied wholesale.)

I think it’s worthwhile to be able to say “we could solve the problem if it weren’t for X” so we can talk about why “X” is the way it is.

That is, the job of philosophers is not to solve problems, but to articulate a way of looking at problems which may lead to solutions.

It is actually doubtful that the Magelanic Clouds orbit the Milky Way.

"Astronomers have long assumed that the Magellanic Clouds have orbited the Milky Way at approximately their current distances, but evidence suggests that it is rare for them to come as close to the Milky Way as they are now. Observation and theoretical evidence suggest that the Magellanic Clouds have both been greatly distorted by tidal interaction with the Milky Way as they travel close to it."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magellanic_Clouds

"They are merely flying by at high speed and that this close encounter is a first time occurrence. The Magellanic Clouds have enough velocity to escape the Milky Way and fly about the local group. They will be changed by the effect of the close encounter and undergo a burst phase of star formation."

It's extremely unethical to kill snakes. If you have a venomous snake somewhere on your property that you cannot tolerate it, you should call an expert to come move it for you.

Validate? If the "impossible" can be done on a group of nodes repeating it isn't hard, it just costs what it costs.

If you have a bunch of not very trust worthy nodes the challenge of repetition seems ideal. They can be made to do enough validation to earn enough trust to do their one nefarious act which resets their trustworthiness while the network keeps the fruits of their labor.

Experiencing human stories and situations first-hand and putting a face and a name on what exactly happened is one of the best ways to gradually become slightly more enlightened.

Everyone needs a passport and to travel, including to places that make them uncomfortable, to find out what life is about, to separate the real from lies, and realize there are wonders and wonderful people throughout the world.

Spoiler alert: Most people have roughly the aims and qualities the world over. Preconceptions will be shattered.

PS: If you look at the now-outdated satellite maps of Gaza, there was a great deal of agriculture surrounding urban areas including hydroponic farms that were rebuilt by NGOs the last time around. Most of that has been likely destroyed again, along with half of all housing. 1.9-2 million people are now homeless and most of those don't have a home to go back to. There absolutely must be a Marshall Plan to rebuild Gaza for livable conditions for human beings equal to Israeli, European, and all lives. Furthermore, if you've been paying attention to the region, it is routine that extremist settler terrorists murder people at random, steal land, and IDF snipers murder children, women, and journalists arbitrarily with total impunity; and half or more of Israelis are not okay with this but lack real power to unseat their extremist regime of convicted racists, worshipers of the terrorist Baruch Goldstein, and champion of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. And 1 million children of Gaza now need therapy, counseling, and possibly antidepressants from all of the stresses and chaos of war... after they get some food, water, showers, bathrooms, and somewhere warm to sleep and the bombs stop falling every few minutes.

Thankfully, I have never had it proven to me.

I am not saying it provies that much protection.

I hope it is true.

> Can it really be easier for end users to use an app that requires an extra installation step?

It's not, but by making it an App, it forces a user to remember to install it (good mindshare), it takes up space on the homepage (good, free advertising), it gets to track your device id and track you (or, partially track you on iOS), it gets to spam your notification bar with more free advertisements, it gets to hook into your Google Pay / Apple Pay cards automatically, and it forever gets to poll your exact GPS position, while also having easier access to various bluetooth stack stuff (tracking beacons, onboarding devices, etc)

Yes, ~80% of that can be done on the web too, but the app gives you effectively permanent-cookies and permanent-permissions, and people have more practice doing it there.

I don't like it at all, but I get why lots of companies write a webapp, and then shove it into a native app wrapper (whether via React Native, Cordova, Turbo Native, or equivilant). The benefits of the app wrapper and app store, outweigh the drawbacks, for many businesses.
I don't think it is subconscious. In the bottom left of the vase picture, the "cat-like" version has "whiskers". The egg has a sort of caty blob on the right (though it's hard for me to decide whether the cat or truck version is more pronounced). The street picture has a white blob in the center that's "sheepier" than the chair version.

To me it seems like a conscious "if I had to pick the more cat-like one, this picture has a bit right here that sort of looks cat-like".

i.e. it's weird to say the images "influence" us. It seems more accurate to say that when prompted, we can perceive/understand what is confusing the model.

If you're in Sydney, Australia, head an hour north to visit the Australian Reptile Park. It's a small zoo that additionally specialises in snakes and spiders that can kill you. It is the sole source of the venom that gets used to make Australia's anti-venoms [1].

The Australian Reptile Park may be related to the cost aspect, in that their program provides a ready supply of the raw materials needed for anti-venom.

Incidentally they collect funnel web spiders for venom production and have a collection network, whereby people can harvest funnel web spiders from their backyards and drop them into collection points around Sydney [2].

Cost is a recognised factor in anti-venoms, and there is ongoing research to reduce their cost [3].

It sure is burdensome to maintain an app that constantly needs updating. But isn't this an appt that could be updated infrequently, once the basic functionality is in place? That could be sustained by a low-cost subscription ($10/yr?), or possibly even a one-time charge of $20 or something.
Further, saying one thing to students (undergrads) and another thing to Phds and professors is academically dishonest. Not that I woudl do this, but how would you feel if somebody told your students that you applied different rules to university presidents that were more loose than the ones applied to the students?

Tesseract alone is widely known to be "meh" at this point.

If you look at RAG frameworks as one example they'll typically use/support a variety of implementations. Tesseract is almost always supported but it's rarely ideal with projects like Unstructured[0] and DocTR[1] being preferred. By leveraging more-or-less SOTA vision models[2][3] they embarrass Tesseract.

I haven't compared them to the Apple Vision framework but they're absolutely better than Tesseract and potentially even Apple Vision.

There are also various approaches to use these in conjunction but that gets involved.

Trusted Language Extensions refer to an extension written in any trusted language. In this case Rust, but it also includes: plpgsql, plv8, etc. See [0]

> PL/Rust is a more performant and more feature-rich alternative to PL/pgSQL

This is only partially true. plpgsql has bindings to low-level Postgres APIs, so in some cases it is just as fast (or faster) than Rust.

> Building a vector index (or any index for that matter) inside Postgres is a more involved process and can not be done via the UDF interface, be it Rust, C or PL/pgSQL

Most PG Rust extensions are written with the excellent pgrx framework [1]. While it doesn't have index bindings right now, I can certainly imagine a future where this is possible[2].

All that said - I think there are a lot of hoops to jump through right now and I doubt it's worth it for your team. I think you are right to focus on developing a separate C extension
