Speaking as an author of one of the primary libraries for doing this stuff (faiss), it is not because it is still an open ended research problem on how approximate high-dimensional dense or sparse nearest neighbor should work, let alone maximum inner product search where the research story is even worse, or other non-metric space similarity measures. All of the current techniques still have quite unacceptable tradeoffs involved.

While traditional database indexing is also still an open-ended research problem (e.g., read amplification/write amplification tradeoffs and the like), it produces exact solutions. That isn't the case at all for vector indexing beyond brute-force search, or exact indexing like k-D/BSP trees which don't work well in high dimensions due to the curse of dimensionality.
If Torvalds wants to earn more, he should focus on making Linux more user friendly rather than more Linux-geek friendly.

Linux could get dramatically more resources if they could just drop their big-ego'd "CLI is god" mentality. Yes, Linux is a powerhouse OS, but it only appeals to a tiny slice of the population.

I think the key is they want to choose. Not feel forced into homemaking.
One of the reasons I've switched some builds over to musl over glibc, is that I found that glibc linking is brittle if you're going to run a binary over multiple distros in various container environments. Particularly if you want one binary to work on linux across RH and Debian/Ubuntu derived distros or even different ages of distro.
There's really no 'liberal' person with Tate's reach. If there were, you'd know of them.

I can assist with some non-political masculinity people/groups though:

1) Far and away: Brett and Kate McKay. They run https://www.artofmanliness.com/ and have for over a decade now. The articles are decidedly non-political and mostly non-religious. The back catalog is huge. The podcast is quite good and consistent.

2) Esquire Magazine: A bit of a lad-mag still. But the articles are mostly men's interest and on current events. The long form articles, going back decades, are gold. You're not going to find better journalism going on men's issues.

3) Russ Roberts: Running the econtalk podcast since 2006, https://www.econlib.org/econtalk/. Though very much not centered on men's issues, he does a very good job of separating out the issues of the guests he has and going slowly through it all. Between him and the McKays, they are the only podcast hosts I know of that actually read the books of the guests that they have on before the podcast (please let me know of others!).

4) Your local men's bible/torah/koran study group, scout troop, sports league, holy order of the water buffalo, etc.: Bit cheeky here, but they deserves a shout out. If you want healthy male conversation and groups, your local area men's groups, largely defined, are the best bet. The McKays go into this a lot more, but the gist is that men form gang as a basic unit and you have to play into that underlying structure.

Largely speaking, good male role models are going to be harder to find and more local. That kinda relates to the way that men relate with each other. Bad ones are going to be all over the place and very loud about it, like so many drunks. The good ones are more silent and take time to develop, like so much scotch.
You are the author of tikz.dev? I have always thought it was made by the tikz author. Mad props to you, the site is very functional and helpful to me. With it, using tikz feels a bit less like a chore.
ESLint is a Productivity Killer
I'm flying solo on a web app project, using nextjs supabase.

Eslint? Yeah, it's always giving me headaches. A lot of headache. I've been spending 30 to 60 minutes every day for the last week just trying to troubleshoot the problems it brings up and keeping it happy.

Now, I'm questioning whether Eslint is even worth keeping. Maybe I should just ditch it from my project and save myself the hassle.
I’d love for someone to make a portable standalone heat pump for a swimming pool.

Why not make it solar powered with fold out panels. With 400% efficiency 1500 watts of solar power could get you 6000 watts of heating.
0 shares feels unnecessary. I’d give him shares as though he was vesting on an employee schedule.
It's ironic that you say that, even though the people building zed were the ones building the tree sitter in the first place.
I'm actually running dnsmasq from a FreeBSD host. How would dnsmasq know about the self-configured addresses? I guess I could run DHCPv6, but it's next to impossible to get any kind of prefix delegation going with my ISP anyway.
At the moment their router hands out the v6 addresses and I use v4 for dnsmasq.

I have read a bit about this and I understand the explanation but I still don’t understand how a group of people subject to genocide can turn around and a few generations later be behaving in many (obviously not all) of the same ways toward another group. I would think that if anything the Israeli people would have some empathy and try to find a two state solution that exists in peace.
As I understand it a firing squad would mean instant death, which would be more humane than struggling for 22 mins. Not sure why this method is not preferable. Full disclosure: I'm against death penalty.
I use it to select songs when I'm driving and for that it's...mostly ok. I'd kill for some documentation that describes how to reliably escape band and song names so that they're interpreted as literals.

"I convinced one of the employees to become a cofounder"

Presumably, based on what you've said, at zero investment from his own pockets.

Then this sentiment like you don't understand why he doesn't have a cofounder mindset... A co-founder feels like something that should happen naturally not something you should have to convince someone of..
Is there a modern, non-JVM lisp that cleanly threads types through the expressions? I'm thinking like Haskell or Roc, where the type definitions are optional, but can be written down for clarity.

Lisp was by far my favorite language in college, but these days the idea of sloshing around in all those untyped s-expressions just gives me the willies.
Both are super handy and super cheap (relative to conventional SAs and NAs). Handy for the personal shop of any EE.

On your set top box, you'll find a bunch of inactive ports on the back. One of them (I don't remember which) is there from an outdated law which was to bolster some digital VHS technology. I think it's called like VHS-D. I learned this being a FiOs technician and would look up any frequent question asked over and over again at the end of installs.
I measured that some years ago. It was ~60W or so pulled through the slot for a card with two extra cables running to it. Specifically I measured the current down the wires and subtraction gave me that as a reasonable estimate for the slot. Won't be perfect but pretty sure it's non-zero through the slot.
because you are forcing people to execute people directly, even though you give concealed blanks to shooters so they can cope by pretending they were the ones with blanks.

Death sentences make no sense anyway, they cost more than indefinite incarceration.

You can’t have it both ways. You forced this person into it, against the grain, and now that they want to leave you’re surprised?

It’s a tough pill to swallow but hopefully you learn something about human nature from this experience and don’t become resentful/bitter about it.

This is like purchasing a mail order bride, relocating them to your country, and then being shocked when they decide they want to be in a different relationship because it wasn’t what they thought it would be. Can you blame them? We owe nothing to anyone except our children and our pets.

You’re piling a lot of guilt and shame and pressure onto this individual for leaving but at the end of the day the buck stops with you. Gotta be better about choosing who you work with, and how you do that.

"I am confident that once it gets going, it will be head and shoulders above any other manufacturing technology that exists anywhere in the world. It's next level," he added.

'I am confident' is what Musk says to sell people on something he wants them to believe although he doesn't believe it.

People in the US go through a lot of individually bottled water bought in large quantities--including in many many areas where the tap water is perfectly fine.

On the other hand there are vending machines for various drinks (not all in plastic admittedly) on almost every other Japanese street corner. So I'm not sure how it averages out.

Not sure about this specific case, but I suspect at least some of these readers might do it for consistency with e-paper devices, where no scrolling is an hardware limitation (very low refresh rates, weak processor, battery savings).

So it seems to be a bad idea to try to have a one-size fits all standard : we're much better off with two digital document standards : one with full multimedia and interactive capabilities (short of networking), and another, a subset of the previous with the limitations like : monochrome, no multimedia, interactivity mostly limited to (still in-document) hyperlinks...

And guess what, we already have two formats that are almost there ! HTML (see also MHTML=EML) and EPUB.

(And of course a 3rd one for physical archival and the rare digital fixed layout documents, for which PDF/A already seems to be decent enough.)
Because when there's no traffic people drive faster.
Interesting. My understanding is that part of why mastodon is so slow/resource hungry is that it serializes background tasks to redis for a sidecar process to pick up, and that that's the normal way to do things. If rails has a concurrent runtime, why don't they just run background work directly?
Even better, have the cooling end of the pump be in your house. Cool your house while heating your pool
If you live in Twitter and Reddit, maybe so.

At some point in the past I moderated a decently sized subreddit (~100k subscribers). At the time it seemed like everyone really cared a lot about politics.

I made the conscious decision to step out of it, and shutting off my online presence. Live a bit more in the real world, so to say.

Turns out in real life, people care a lot less about politics than in online cesspools.
I think we could bring the price of these down tenfold if they were sold like dishwashers and other appliances.

(Yes, there are lots of reasons they are not plug and play but let’s figure it out!)
The Purpose of Sleep Is Restoring Our Brain to the Optimal State of Criticality
Yeah the whole "I told him he has an employee mindset" like bro that's because you took an employee (who fought to receive a salary) and "convinced him" to be a cofounder. He's still just an employee just because you gave him a shiny new title and shares (in something that sounds like a sinking ship) doesn't mean suddenly he's not going to think like an employee.
Or, give a tax deduction for contributions to open source.

Are there no distinguishing features between these vector databases? I'm not familiar with them so I was looking for any comment on that in the article, whether some make different tradeoffs than others, are easier to operate or implement, more scalable, etc. That together with their relative novelty might help explain why there are so many.

This is one of those tough life lessons that I have also suffered. First, the vast majority of startups failed, and unless you have something to fall back on (like rich parents), you should _not_ take on the risk of starting a company unless you have adequate funding.

The truth about starting a business is that the vast majority fail, and those who succeed typically come from privileged backgrounds. It's very rare for legitimately poor people to succeed because you cannot take the same risks if you have nothing to fall back on.

My suggestion to you would be to get a big tech job and collect as much money as you can. Once you're self-sufficient, you can go full YOLO.

Fighting against stupid climate change policies isn't "denying climate change". Policies like, I don't know, clamping down on our oil extraction and pipelines locally, and instead buying the resources from adversarial countries.
Here is a video I made some years ago picking locks for Handguns... with a spinning keyway useless cover...

The problem is step number 4. Don’t do that. Don’t give your company away just so you have someone to share your burden. They aren’t you. They don’t have the same engagement. This, is why you fail. Instead, you should have just made them “in charge” of things and given them a larger salary. No ownership. No co-founder.
Maybe everyone should just point out that it's now the preferred heating method in all of the Nordics. If heat pumps work there reliably, it clearly is a proven technology.

As a disclaimer, if you have an air source heat pump in a very cold environment you do need a backup heating method too, like direct electric or just a fireplace.

Geothermal is even better but can be cost prohibitive. Unlike a boiler, geothermal wells don’t “wear out” and with a steady supply of ground heat, are even more energy efficient.
Or it's a community that's successfully kept itself alive for a very long time and "simple" rules get interpreted wildly differently so over time you're naturally going to build up at lot of explicit rules around edge cases.
I spent quite a bit of effort seeking Lisp Enlightenment (TM) because of the happy people using Lisp that you mention[0]. The fact that Lisp is not used more commonly for practical applications is actually a great source of frustration for me now, and I think I share that experience with many other people who enjoy using Lisp.

The thing about Lisp is that when you get used to it, you realize how needlessly obtuse so much of programming is today. So much effort has been spent making programming harder and harder to understand.

At this point I truly think that if Lisp had won, the world would be quite a different place for the better. We live in a world where the average person thinks that a terminal emulator is an error window, and coding is something they identify as not being able to do. Lisp is so nice because when you understand the (extremely simple!) grammar, any vocabulary is correct. You just have to make sure that an implementation of that vocabulary is defined in terms of the vocabulary provided by the system. This is to say: the language let's you express things in the exact fidelity that you think them. That's why it's so appealing. I think that if Lisp had won, general programming would be as approachable as using a graphing calculator.

If you’re talking about residential wiring, most electricians will (in my opinion) correctly wire rooms to breakers rather than device types. It is infuriating to discover that every light on a story is on the same circuit when you want to replace a fixture at night.

For dedicated lighting circuits in the USA, the good news is that the 2023 NEC has provisions for 10 amp / 16 gauge circuits in recognition of efficient LED lighting.
It’s not destined to fail. But Elon’s jumping the shark has absolutely harmed Tesla sales.

Personal anecdote: I got into the Tesla ecosystem with a model 3. All it took was one test drive and I was sold.

I went on to buy solar and powerwalls, because their prices were literally a fraction of every one of the six local solar companies I got quotes from. Heck, solar plus 3 powerwalls cost the same as just solar from the local clowns.

To your point that not everything they do is destined to fail: I’m still considering getting a couple more powerwalls because with tax incentives and utility rebates they’re a staggeringly good deal. And no one can see the Tesla logos in my basement.

But not only have musk’s idiot antics welded my wallet shut when it comes to not buying another Tesla car, I’ve got a set of emblems from a Mazda 3 to replace the Tesla badges on the one I’ve already got so I can stop feeling embarrassed to be implicitly advertising for them everywhere I drive. The alternative to the badges was a bumper sticker I once saw which said something like “I bought this before Elon jumped the shark”.
Very cordial to begin with, mainly because the Spanish had allied with a large number of other tribes, many of which were enemies of the Aztecs.

The Aztecs invited them into the city as honoured guests/curiosities. After many months the Spanish (and their tribal allies) massacred the city after a series of events internal and external to the city.

It’s a fascinating episode in history, if you don’t want to read a book then the Aztec series of the podcast The Rest Is History gives an amazing 7 parts walkthrough of the saga.
> And this is before we even get started on Israel and Ashkenazi Jews, Sephardic Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Ethiopian Jews and of course ethnic Arabs (Palestinians including Israeli Arabs).

Ashkenazi Jews (the in group) tend to vote more liberal than Sephardic/Mizrahi Jews. Israeli Arabs parties, while associated with the left due to their position on Palestine, are extremely conservative (e.g. pushing for conversion therapy).

Who should pay for API development and maintenance?

The thing that Apple (and most other platform vendors) have failed at isn’t the charging a fair price. It’s the delivering fair value. Given the amount they take the APIs, docs, tooling, support, etc should be much higher quality. They’re selling a product (access to people and APIs) and they’re doing an excellent job of giving developers a larger and larger pie to eat from, but they need to make the utensils better.
