>or unwilling

We're well past that point. This administration is clearly signalling that they are prioritizing the avoidance of an escalating regional war, and an aerial bombardment of Yemen would be an escalation against the Iran proxy. That's a legitimate policy position to be debated (I think it's the wrong position). But it seems pretty clear from both public statements and OSINT on movement of military hardware (or lack thereof) that they are unwilling to respond in a way that restores confidence in navigation in the region.
>Another concern is Texas, partly because of increased development on the fringes of metropolitan areas stemming from migration from California, the report said.

The California part makes sense to me because of fires, but this sentence about Texas seems super vague to me. There aren’t any new natural disasters in TX, why does increased migration from CA affect insurance rates in TX?

The strain comes from looking at things rendered further or closer than 1.3m.

It has that simple tldr, it's the very first word, "DataFrames". Everyone in this thread just doesn't know what that means, and that's fine, I get that, but seriously, that's the simple summary. Data frames aren't an obscure or esoteric concept in the data analysis space; quite the opposite.

You can also choose to run at 4-bit quantization, offloading ~27 out of 33 layers to the GPU, and that runs at about 25 tokens/s for me. I think that's about the same speed as you get out of an M1 Max running at 4 bits? Although I'm not sure about the newer M2 or M3 Max chips. Googling around, I didn't immediately see clear benchmarks for those.
In my mind, the lowest-hanging fruit is: "tech is now abundant, and great machine farms feed us all." Surprising thing is, most of us are already there - except the media (hand-in-hand with legacy corporations that need scared, docile employees) is incentivized to keep us thinking otherwise by focusing on homelessness and immigration.

They're afraid of the general populace reaching the consensus that "tech is now abundant, and great machine farms feed us all," because that would mean that most of us are free to explore and experiment without being subject to pointless human pyramids (i.e. corps), which represents unknown innovations and disruptions that might threaten said pyramids.

And a LOT of that mass-gaslighting relies on what the internet has become - a Judge Dredd-style Sprawl of a few monolithic power centers, with nothing but millions of noodle shops and nail salons (whose online equivalents would be e-commerce websites and commodity SaaS startups) in between.

Some time ago, the internet had a sensible structural ambition that a child could understand: a singular global network where nobody can stop the individual from adding a new node. That freedom is technically still there, but it's been neutered in every way imaginable. And most who would support that freedom lost heart, like the author here.

What now? I think it's simple - we try again. Go back to the original promise, and see how we can implement it better this time. An accessible, transparent, free network of simple documents and people. The tech is there, and the appetite is there, if you look at the success of products like LinkTree.

In fact, I'm working on building that right now, and I have high confidence in our go-to-market strategy. Email me (check my bio) if this interests you. I'd love to chat.

Not OP but R data.table + dplyr is an unbeatable combo for data processing. I handily worked with 1bn record time series data on a 2015 MBP.

The rest of the tidyverse stuff is OK (like forcats), but the overall ecosystem is a little weird. The focus on "tidy" data itself is nice up to a point, but sometimes you want to just move data around in imperative style without trying to figure out which "tidy verb" to use, or trying to learn yet another symbol interpolation / macro / nonstandard eval system, because they seem to have a new one every time I look.

Pandas is a real workhorse overall. Data.table is like a fast sports car with a very complicated engine, and Pandas is like a work van. It's a little of everything and not particularly excellent at anything and that's ok. Also its index/multiindex system is unique and powerful. But data.table always smoked it for single-process in-memory performance.

Until DuckDB and Polars, there was no Python equivalent of data.table at all. They're great when you want high performance, native Arrow (read: Parquet) support, and/or an interface that feels more like a programming library than a data processing tool. If you're coming from a programming background, or if you need to do some data processing or analytics inside of production system, those might be good choices. The Polars API will also feel very familiar to users of Spark SQL.

For geospatial data, Pandas is by far superior to all options due to GeoPandas and now SpatialPandas. There is an alpha-stage GeoPolars library but I have no idea who's working on it or how productive they will be.

If you had to learn one and only one, Pandas might still be the best option. Python is a much better general-purpose language than R, as much as I love R. And Pandas is probably the most flexible option. Its index system is idiosyncratic among its peers, but it's quite powerful once you get used to using it, and it enables some interesting performance optimization opportunities that help it scale up to data sets it otherwise wouldn't be able to handle. Pandas also has pretty good support for time series data, e.g. aggregating on monthly intervals. Pandas also has the most extensibility/customizability, with support for things like custom array back ends and custom data types. And its plotting methods can help make Matplotlib less verbose.

I've never gotten past "hello world" with Julia, not for lack of interest, but mostly for lack of time and need. I would be interested to hear about that comparison as well.
Can't you already do this with the regular file api? If you've got the cloud storage app installed, it will show your cloud storage as a folder to use in the file picker.

Or do you mean websites automatically saving stuff to your cloud storage without any UI interaction. That sounds far too abuse prone.
That has absolutely no relation to this project. What in the world are you talking about?
Tensor network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_network :

> The wave function is encoded as a tensor contraction of a network of individual tensors.[3] The structure of the individual tensors can impose global symmetries on the wave function (such as antisymmetry under exchange of fermions) or restrict the wave function to specific quantum numbers, like total charge, angular momentum, or spin. It is also possible to derive strict bounds on quantities like entanglement and correlation length using the mathematical structure of the tensor network.[4] This has made tensor networks useful in theoretical studies of quantum information in many-body systems. They have also proved useful in variational studies of ground states, excited states, and dynamics of strongly correlated many-body systems. [5]

Sounds like you're building products in lieu of doing user research and product discovery. You can often prove or disprove something is a good idea with some market research and some mock-ups. Even just building the landing page as a fake door can work. Spend more time on product discovery and less time building and you'll save time overall.
First time seeing someone call Spanner, CockroachDB, and YugabyteDB a "distributed key-value store with SQL" :)

The cons of the mentioned distributed shared-nothing SQL databases are questionable:

- "Key-value store" is in fact an LSM-tree-based document store that supports column-level versioning (Postgres supports row-level versioning only).

- "Many internal operations incur high latency." - I guess this conclusion is based on the referenced Gigaom benchmark that was paid for by Microsoft to compare apples to oranges.

- "No local joins in current implementations." (YugabyteDB certainly has colocated tables that store a whole table on a single node. CockroachDB and Spanner might do this as well.)

- "Not actually PostgreSQL..." - There is only one 100% compatible database with Postgres...It's Postgres itself. Citus, CockroachDB, Aurora, Alloy, YugabyteDB, and others can be classified as "not actually Postgres."

- "And less mature and optimized." - Well, both CockroachDB and YugabyteDB are on Gartner's Magic Quadrant of the top 20 cloud databases. Toys don't get there.

It feels like the author joined Crunchy to work on their own distributed version of Postgres. Good move for Crunchy, good luck!

> I'm still fine-tuning the whole thing before I bring it to market

Welcome to HN!

If the "fine-tuning" involves the technical implementation of your program or if you are still fine-tuning your business model and you have specific challenges or questions, this might be a good opportunity for you to ask for more directed input.

Most of us have been where you are with an idea, so there is some empathy. One suggestion rather than joining a wait list, why not implement a (link to a) beta program and invite us to take a look at what you have, warts and all. Those that take you up on it will provide invaluable insight.

> is not UB

Not by my interpretation of n3096 (April 2023 ISO C draft).

The abstract semantics calls for memory being touched. Data flows that go through memory in the abstract semantics can be optimized not to go through memory. UB can do anything at all.
The 4 bolts are there to restrain vertical motion of the door which I presume would not involve large forces. They are meant to keep the door on the 4 cylindrical posts and 12 stop pads and it is those posts and pads that take the pressure differential forces on the door and keep it from blowing out. They are way beefier than the bolts and I believe they are still intact on the accident plane.
I think there are two distinct groups in play here. And, I would argue, always have been.

The first group are out to get the degree. That bit of paper that gets you your first job. After that your job experience gets you the second job, and so on.

This is probably the larger group, and likely most of the material recognises this, and in some cases optimizes for it.

The second much smaller group are people wanting to get educated, in the sense of understanding the root fundamentals. They suck the marrow, determined to explore the nooks and cranies. They never ask "will this be in the exam?" (Ironically this group often do poorly in exams because they're too busy learning.)

Threads like this one happen when one group encounters the other, perhaps for the first time. If your goal is to learn then cheating is only fooling you. If your goal is to pass, well, there are multiple ways to do that.

Depends how much you push over the process boundary. The main benefit of a CGI model is guaranteed cleanup of resources, so the more you keep in the CGI side of that boundary, the less potential you have for resource leaks, or data leaking between requests. If you just push your entire app into a long lived process you gain nothing. If you e.g. "only" use it to cache resources that are slow to obtain access to (e.g. connections to slow starting resources, data that is slow and expensive to parse), then it could be a win.

But it's been years since the last time I felt that win was sufficiently worth it to design a system that way. In theory, I still love the idea of a guaranteed clean slate, but I'm not willing to give up the slow starting language runtimes I prefer today (e.g. Ruby) for the sake of it.
Pilots should (are supposed to) disable the auto-trim if it's doing something uncommanded/unexpected. Runaway trim can happen for reasons other than faulty software. MCAS was a new factor and they should have been told about it, I don't dispute that at all.

Not American so I have absolutely no skin in the game, so it's funny that your argument appears to be about something the other didn't say.

Republicans, much like the Tories here, appear to want to cut taxes because everything they say is about reducing government interference.

Not always a bad thing, but cutting taxes inherently means some services will get caught in the trim.

When your Department of Education releases things like this, I can see why you would ignore the highly emotional charged language

https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/fact-sheet-house-repu...

However I never see proposals from Republicans to improve education, just either cuts or demands to ban books. Do you have examples where they have proposed improvements to education? Without that then I'm afraid Republicans really do always to appear to be anti-education.

I'm not really "going retro" in the sense of deliberately downgrading my computing hardware. But I do try to limit "smart" devices as best I can. The TVs I have are technically "smart" but I keep them disconnected from the internet and instead use them as a portal for Apple TVs or gaming consoles. I have relatively recent computers because I play games on one and I like my main productivity computer (and phone) to run smooth.

But I am tending to use less and less stuff on my devices. I largely use my computer to watch things, scan things to clean out my office of old documents, writing, chat, etc. Most of my time is spent in a web browser consuming stuff because I don't have the energy to do things like chores or program or other things that take mental energy that I might want to do. I'm even moving away using computers for notes or scheduling, and putting more effort into doing all that by hand on paper. It's nice to slow down and put more creativity into that instead of always staring at a screen for pretty much everything I do all the time. Helps me think better, think about the big picture more. And it's fun too.

Based on someone else's comment I plan to revisit OpenBSD, because previously I wasn't able to get gigabit speeds out of a low-end appliance, even though FreeBSD and Fedora both could.
The advantages are: raw performance, an optimizing query engine, streaming/out-of-memory processing support, backed by Arrow so you can load data with zero copy. Some people also prefer the API, which is very similar to that of Spark SQL and might feel more comfortable and consistent to people with professional programming backgrounds.

It's like saying communism isnt the problem, but that it s how every single group attempted to implement it that should be blamed.

Sure, maybe, but if nobody ever can implement the theoretical utopia, maybe we should talk of things humans can do instead and ditch the unimplementable idea.

QA cannot be done by a separate team the way you dream: it will always be a political buffer zone staffed by the cheapest half-competent people you can find, expulsing good people into dev or management. Or you merge it into dev/solution design.

The reason is simple: just like contract law, you only care about quality once you are in trouble and need to reverse back the source of the issue to give to the client a post mortem. Otherwise, you care first about velocity, or $ input/hr of effort.

> Does it make sense to degrade the performance of good software teams because bad software teams exist?

Consider the classic statistic "most drivers think they are above average".

I posit that the same is true of software teams, almost every team will self-assess as above average, i.e. good. Those teams will then imagine that, being good, they build quality into the process and very little verification QA is done.

I have worked as a software consultant for 15 years now. I've worked with at least 40 separate software teams in that time. Every single team manager would pep talk with "this is the best team I've ever seen". Some of this is obviously blowing smoke to get people to work harder and feel good. But over the years I've had candid conversations with managers and realized that most of the time the genuinely think their team is really good, truly top 10-20%.

Here's the rub. Being a consultant, I'm almost always brought in by higher level management because something is going horribly wrong. The team can't deliver quickly. The software they deliver is bug ridden. They routinely deliver the wrong software (i.e. incorrect interpretation of requirements.)

Often times these problems are not only the fault of the development team, management has issues too. But in every single case, the development team is in dire straits. They have continuous integration sure, and unit tests, and nightly builds, and lots of green check marks. But the unit tests test that the test works. The stress tests have no reality based basis for expected load. The continuous integration system builds software but it can't be deployed in that form for x, y & z reasons, so production has a special build system, etc...

In 15 years I have never once encountered a team that would not benefit from a QA team doing boring, old school, black box manual testing. And the teams that most adamantly refuse to accept that reality are precisely those that think they are really top tier because they have 90+% unit test coverage, use agile and do nightly builds.

So, my question is, do you (I don't mean the specific "you" here, rather everyone should ask themselves this, all the time) think that most bad software teams know they are bad? Including the one you are part of? Would it really hurt to have some ye olde QA, just in case, you know, you are actually just average? :)
