There's a commit (https://github.com/ctrl-alt-test/mouton/commit/79d2d1eab7a22...) where we save many bytes by removing a performance optimization. We originally wanted to keep it, but we realized we were short on bytes and that optimization was not required on recent-ish GPUs.
> packages broke during routine updates

The same way anybody working with any package system does, by pinning ancient versions and/or just never updating all packages, at least for packages that aren't so widely used that they pretty much are never broken
No, it follows every link recursively, as long as they are part of the same domain.

So, if you add example.com, the crawl starts at / and all links found therein are added to the queue, and so on. For convenience www.example.com is also considered within crawl scope (and viceversa). Everything else is treated as an external link, so tested but not parsed.

Is it possible that your links are hosted on another subdomain than the one you have entered? I'll do a deeper dive into this issue tomorrow.
Imagine: The vulnerable device is on your internal network, and the likelihood of damages is very small.

I suppose you can construct a regime in which feds come in a fine you simply for having an insecure device, but a lighter touch approach is to wait for damages, which given this scenario, perhaps never comes.
How familiar are you with Spark and the like? This is what it looks like:

https://spark.apache.org/examples.html

SQL is just a DSL; it is not the only or primary API for Spark, and there's nothing magical about it. If you ditch it you can get your type safety, composability, and testability back, like so:

https://medium.com/@sergey.kotlov/unit-testing-of-spark-appl...

See those case classes that neatly encapsulate business objects? Add to that functional transforms that concisely express typical operations like filtering, mapping, and so on, you get something that is simply superior to SQL.
>They can both deduct depreciation and also repair costs - double dipping! Further, any interest on real estate loans they have are also tax deductible.

Either your CPA friend is ignorant (since after all not all CPAs specialize in income tax) or you misunderstood.

Depreciation is how the cost of placing a new asset in service is spread over time to match the income generated by the asset (roughly speaking). Repairs are the cost of keeping existing in-service assets in normal operating condition. There is no double dipping.

As for mortgage interest, only interest on the loans used to acquire or improve the property are deductible, not cash-out equity loans. This is basically the same rule that owners of their own principal residence get to use, although there are some temporary limits that can reduce the full deduction, especially for those in areas with expensive houses for sale.

That's interesting, I thought the case made for oracular use when I read about it was reasonable, but I may be a bit put of date. There was a fair bit of weird belief washing around in later Roman times before Christianity won out, though.

As for game rules - we have a tiny enough fraction of all non-elite-literary writing from antiquity that we probably wouldn't have a complete game's rules if they had been in the habit of writing them down - but we have so many surviving bits of writing that we ought to have fragments of rules. They seem rather thin on the ground, which leads me to suspect that written rules just didn't seem that important to most Romans. From Vindolanda to Oxyrhynchus they wrote bills and doggerel and love-life complaints and demands for new socks... but nothing at all that attempts to explain THAC0.

We don't even really know how they played Ludus Latrunculorum, despite finding quite a few sets and more boards - but there are several reconstructions from literary references. One of them I find quite engaging, so I hope it's on the right track.

I mostly mean lockdowns, which were a spectacular failure - they caused both a delay in endemic equilibrium in the low-risk tier and also an increase in household transmission, which put the high-risk tier at increased likelihood of contracting the virus early. This is not even to mention the collateral damage, which is being studied by Suneta Gupta and other epidemiologists here: https://collateralglobal.org/.

Lockdowns were roundly rejected by an enormous chorus of the top experts in relevant fields, and yet somehow the messaging was spun to make it sound like there was significant debate. And of course, no actual data was ever made available by proponents for the rest of us to even consider, let alone replicate. This is what I mean by the "trust the science" message being a contradiction in terms.

Of the interventions you mention: masking was not shown "time and time again" to be highly - or even moderately - effective. The dearth of rigorous study on the matter is bizarre. The Bangladesh study showed no statistically significant effect for cloth masks, and very modest effects for others - certainly nowhere near enough to justify mandates.

I'm not very aware of the literature on distancing - can you provide sources to research which you think shows that it has "time and time again proven to be highly effective"?

Vaccination of course appeared incredible out of the gate, but we now know that there was significant unblinding during phase III, and the real-world results have not lived up to either the safety or efficacy claims. So, while the vaccines are a great achievement, I'm not sure we can draw the conclusions that the scientific method was as rigorously adopted as we might hope in the context of this discussion about the pitfalls of "trust the science" in matters of public policy. Instead, profit seems to have motivated a relatively shoddy series of rollouts. Moreover, the fallout over the disastrous booster approval cost us a number of experts who resigned in protest (obviously Gruber and Krause are the most notable, but there were many others both at FDA and in academia). So I think it still belongs in the 'loss' column as science-based policy goes.

The thing with Funding is that you shouldn't really need it but it's more of a fuel when there already is fire (aka PMF). Once you have the fire (most people fail to get to this point anyway), then you decide if fueling that fire with VC dollars make sense or not for your goals.

The problem is that lot of entrepreneur need funding to even start because they don't have enough resources to start something (may be they need cash, people etc). But VC dont fund because you need cash. They fund because you are able to convince them somehow that you are building a unicorn.

If we're considering the adversaries here as both a centralized provider for recording access and storage, and the intruder who might look for a DVR and destroy it, then it's reasonable to want a way to decentralize all copies of the data and also not want untrusted individuals from having access to the decentralized copies. The argument GP provided wasn't that off-site storage was bad, but that off-site storage in a SaaS platform that is easily identified as a destination to subpoena by virtue of seeing the Ring brandname on the doorbell and/or cameras is risky and in their opinion undesirable.

Yeah, gonna have to challenge that:

2. And there is enough information about this tech that leads to the possibility of it causing systemic damage to society if its not correctly controlled.

I think you may be right. This comment was based on 90% of the people I interact with using Macs, but those interactions are indeed mostly in SV.

In that sense, the “concentration” is in the SV region, and may have been a bad choice of word by me when thinking about the broader ecosystem.

With that said, macOS enjoys ~33% share in the latest Stack Overflow developer survey [0], and I think this illustrates the point somewhat. This is a healthy enough portion of the market to focus on, especially in the case of implementing low hanging fruit.

Basically still an issue. The machine takes an exclusive lock and it also adds override since each machine has to update it's local data cache (or whatever it's called) because they're constantly getting out of sync when another machine backs up

No, actually. I have no idea why you're relying on a quote 8 years prior to him starting writing 1984.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four

> In his 1946 essay "Why I Write", Orwell explains that the serious works he wrote since the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) were "written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism".[3][89] Nineteen Eighty-Four is a cautionary tale about revolution betrayed by totalitarian defenders previously proposed in Homage to Catalonia (1938) and Animal Farm (1945), while Coming Up for Air (1939) celebrates the personal and political freedoms lost in Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).

> In one 1948 letter, Orwell claims to have "first thought of [the book] in 1943", while in another he says he thought of it in 1944 and cites 1943's Tehran Conference as inspiration: "What it is really meant to do is to discuss the implications of dividing the world up into 'Zones of Influence' (I thought of it in 1944 as a result of the Tehran Conference), and in addition to indicate by parodying them the intellectual implications of totalitarianism".[13] Orwell had toured Austria in May 1945 and observed manoeuvering he thought would likely lead to separate Soviet and Allied Zones of Occupation.[14][15]

> In a June 1944 meeting with Fredric Warburg, co-founder of his British publisher Secker & Warburg, shortly before the release of Animal Farm, Orwell announced that he had written the first 12 pages of his new novel.

Keep on reading that wikipedia page, which explains in detail all the characters, agencies, events, etc in the book that are in many cases directly taken from elements of Stalinism.
> We don't really if what they are doing is harming public interest

That’s potentially harmful.

Far from established. Hypothetically harmful. Obvious harm would need to be present and provable. (Otherwise, it’s a political question.)

They are opening the same specified code file (input.rs) in each editor and measuring event/process/highlight/etc pipeline duration.

Which is straightforward, but also depends a lot on how each editor is configured for Rust support and what functionality you are actually getting in that time.

Let’s pretend you have a job. You drive 20 miles each way to go to work. When you need gas, you buy it at the Exxon station every 3 or 4 days. Suppose the Exxon station closes. What are you going to do? Quit your job, default on your mortgage and become homeless? No, you’re going to buy gas somewhere else. So, did Exxon reducing its production of gas reduce your gas consumption? Did it move your house closer to your job? Did it make your car more fuel efficient? No, it did nothing except maybe slightly inconvenience you.

I'm not arguing that it's free. Nor am I arguing for sending information about every trade someone makes to the IRS. I'm arguing that since they have to generate a summary 1099-B anyways, why not just transmit it to the IRS electronically? There's no change in privacy, since presumably today you'd follow the law and submit the information from your 1099s to the IRS anyways.

We went back and forth on this for an app my team was building and ended up going with Pinecone for a few reasons. One is that vector data is derived data, I don't want to manage it with the same care that I do my operational data. Second, for us we were using a RAG pattern to perform similarity searches on vectorized content and stuffing it into a prompt that we sent to the LLM. The developer experience of doing this with Pinecone was drop dead simple; tailored specifically for doing kANN searches. Our production database is Mongo which had very unproven vector capabilities and which did not perform well in our tests at the time. The obvious downside here is that now we have another database to manage and we take on the additional complexity in our architecture along with additional costs. Initially my thinking was in line with the SingleStore CEO, but the more I have thought about it, the more comfortable I am with the idea that vector data is specialized and has different management requirements and is better suited to live in a specialized data store. Just my personal opinion...
