The person sending this email clearly uses the library, and yet sent this email.

That person is still demanding support - they're clearly using this library [minor edit due to garbage grammar] - they're just hiding who they are because they know their behavior is BS. Receiving mail like this has a mental and emotional toll even if it can be "tossed in the trash" you still have to at least start reading it to determine that it's a troll.

So this maintainer now has to read these messages, even if it's just to send them to the trash, and knows that the person sending this is a person that is using the library, and so any more work they do is helping this person.

Exuma is saying "you can only control your own reaction", which is pretty dismissive and contextually implies that shutting down the project is not a reasonable reaction. i.e. if you maintain a project, it's over reacting if you choose to stop maintaining that project just because you're being subjected to abuse.

I'm not sure how else to interpret Exuma's comment.
1. I don't think it's accurate to call Rome a slave based economy. Most people in Rome were freemen. Slaves served certain functions that would have been hard to replace with freemen, but I wouldn't say that makes Rome a slave based economy. For example, migrant laborers can't be easily replaced in the modern US economy, but I wouldn't say that the US economy based on migrant labor.

2. Relating incentives to productivity is an anachronistic grafting of industrial and post-industrial economic thought onto a subsistence farming economy where it doesn't apply. If a serf works harder and produces more crop, what are they going to do with it? Sell it to their neighbor, who is also a farmer and grows all the same things? To the best of my knowledge, there was not a significant cash crop economy in medieval Europe.

3. As others have pointed out, slavery continued long after the Roman Empire. It was much more prevalent in the encomienda system and the antebellum South than it ever was in Rome. The proportion of enslaved people in mid 1700s South Carolina about 3 to 5x that of ancient Rome. And even that's nothing compared to the Caribbean.
Linear is an opinionated tool for product teams. At Plane, we strive to develop a versatile tool that accommodates teams of all sizes and types.

For example, Linear begins with the creation of a team, whereas we initiate with the creation of a project, subsequently integrating teams as needed. Currently, Plane is being utilized by a spectrum of users, ranging from small indie game developers to large enterprises. In Linear, the starting point always revolves around forming a team.

It seems like the code is used both for indexing from scratch and for maintaining an existing index. In the case of maintaining an existing index you need to know where to start back up and Postgres doesn't guarantee that SERIAL primary keys are always in chronological order when there are multiple simultaneous sessions.

> I guarantee you haven't done an in-depth study of the merits of cryogenics. Neither have I yet, but there are many smart people who do think the tradeoff is worth it.

This is literally the strategy of conspiracy theorists! "You didn't do the research, but Emmett did and he's smarter than you." The scientific consensus is that cryonics is pseudoscience. It does not matter if I have personally done a study. It is entirely rational for me to trust the Wikipedia article on cryonics + common sense. And lots of people way smarter than Shear believed in stranger things.

Emmett Shear - and yourself! - uncritically described cryonics as being a rational, techno-optimist thing to support, and proof of Shear's credentials as a reasonable, grounded thinker, not like these Tesla-smashing wackos. That strongly implies that Shear is a bad judge of what counts as reasonable, because cryonics is ridiculous quackery. Hence why he has Dunning-Kruger syndrome. He's operating in an ignorant Silicon Valley bubble where sci-fi and reality are interchangeable as long as you have a thoughtful affectation.

One thing ChatGPT has made very obvious is that the tech community is vulnerable to the tactics of psychics and conspiracy theorists.

GitHub imposes numerous limitations on custom fields, issue automation, dashboards, workflow rules, and more.

Honored to have your reply, wonderful view of the scene, thanks Andy.

2c remark, zero horses in this race: I was surprised how few encodings were in Nimble at release. The skeleton superficially seemed fine I guess, I don't know, but not much meat on the bones. Without nice interesting optimized encodings, the container for them doesn't feel compelling. But also starting with some inarguable clear options makes some kind of sense too, is some kind of tactic.

They claim they're trying to figure out a path to decoupling from Velox/Folly, so hopefully that can come about. I tend to believe so, godspeed.

The "implementation not specification" does seem really scary though, isn't how we usually get breakout industry-changimg successes.

I wish I had the savy to contrast lance (V2) vs nimble a little better. Both seem to be containerizing systems, allowing streams to define their own encodings. Your comment about meta-data + encodings makes me feel like there's dimensions to the puzzle I haven't identified yet (mostly after chugging VeloxCon talks).

(Thanks for everything Andy, you're doing the good work (practicing and informing). Very very excited to see ya'll's alternative!!)

That’s pretty par for Rachel by the bay. Her blog is basically just HN-endorsed ramblings at this point.
The default in Estonia is that when a kid starts school they go to school and come home on their own. School usually starts at 7 years old, but some kids start at 6 or 8.

These days they might be taken to school by their parents, but they pretty much all get home on their own or go into extra curricular activities on their own. School ends way earlier than any parents could conceivably pick them up.

But kids roaming around on their own isn't that unusual. I remember being a bit sad when I turned 8 years old because riding the bus was no longer free at that age. (Or maybe it was 7?)

What you say is true, but after years of working with TypeScript (and about 15 years of Java before that) I'd say that from a purely practical perspective the structural typing approach is much more productive.

I still have PTSD from the number of times I had to do big, painful refactorings in Java simply because of the way strong typing with nominal types works. I still shudder to think of Jersey 1.x to 2.x migrations from many years ago (and that was a PITA for many reasons beyond just nominal typing, but it could have been a lot easier with structural types).

I love branded types (and what I think of their close cousin of string template literal types in TS) because they make code safer and much more self-documenting with minimal effort and 0 runtime overhead.
LLM price vs. performance (Google sheet)
I created this dense visual comparison to better understand and contextualize the precise relationships between capability, cost, and speed for text LLMs widely available via cloud providers today.

All values are sourced externally from publicly available data.

This sheet is only as good as the data I've found for it. Some values change over time (eg 0-100 normalized index), while others have contradictory sources. For example, OpenAI's self-reported metrics for GPT-4-turbo are quite close but not identical between their simple-evals repo[1] and the charts in the GPT-4o announcement[2]. For others, strong benchmark scores are prominent on marketing pages while weaker scores require some digging.

As a general rule of thumb, I've tried to:
a) Include every metric I can find to help mitigate cherry-pick bias.
b) Resolve conflicts by selecting what I consider to be either the more current or more trustworthy source. For what it's worth, I haven't come across any evaluation discrepancies with a meaningful margin of difference.

The folks I've shared this with so far have found it useful - I hope you do as well!

The code running on the CPU is arguably the smaller problem when it comes to games: At least for consoles, they're often depending on very low-level GPU implementation details, especially for older titles and platform exclusives.

Older consoles had even more dedicated chips doing relevant stuff other than "simple" I/O, like e.g. the SNES's sound chip, which was a completely independent CPU running its own little programs in parallel with the CPU and GPU.

Of course you could "mandate" a high-level VM for all future game development, but given the static nature of console hardware specs, that wouldn't be competitive for titles wanting to make use of cutting-edge graphics.
Sure (assuming Rust's type system were sound, which, I believe, it isn't yet). But my general point -- which isn't at all specific to Rust -- is that with deductive methods, sometimes the effort required may not be worth the added assurance probability they give over unsound methods, while in other cases, deductive methods may be cost-effective. The question of cost-effectiveness is one that always needs to be asked in software assurance.

The level of confidence that software requires (as opposed to an abstract algorithm) is not that much higher than one minus the probability of an "unaccounted" failure (such as a hardware failure). Sometimes the extra confidence beyond that point is free, and sometimes it can be very expensive.

It’s confusing to me that the pricing says it’s per user if you self host the pro tier?
You're right, if you need to go from data => model running in web app, I'd do TF - the inartful Apple analogy is meant to indicate that: great vertical integration.

For local inference of an existing model, TF Lite pales in comparison to ONNX. ONNX goes out of its way for you get ~anything running ~anywhere on the best accelerator available on the platform.* AFAIK TF Lite only helps if your model was in TF.

And there simply isn't an LLM scene for TensorFlow, so it "loses" to llama.cpp for that. There isn't an ONNX LLM scene either, though. (see below)

* There's one key exception...until recently...LLMs! ONNX's model format was limited due to protobuf, IIRC it was 2-4 GB. Part of the Phi-3 announcement was this library they've been stubbing out that's on top of ONNX, but more specialized for LLMs. That being said, haven't seen any LLMs in it except Phi-3, and it's an absolute mess, the library was announced weeks ahead of when it was planned to be released, and then throw in the standard 6-week slippage, I'm probably not trying it again until June.

You did not link evidence to my statement being false, you posted a Hungrybox video of him complaining about his tournament issues he's having with Nintendo. Current Smash Tourney problems with Nintendo does not supplant Nintendo's history with emulation.

I simply stated Nintendo doesn't care as much, which is true, I didn't say "Nintendo absolutely doesn't care and won't do anything ever unless it's Switch related." I'm uninterested in replying any further since it's not getting across that I'm not diminishing the Smash issues, it's clear you're passionate and Nintendo are being real arseholes for sure.
Nevermind trying to copy off of a failed drive that's still in use.

Madness! Madness I say!
You could dump the YouTube link in to Gemini Advanced and ask it for the point.
I know they mean well, but if you have a filesystem you want to preserve on questionable media... don't interact with (mount/repair) it until you've made your copy.

With journaling and the like (soft-RAID)... mounting at all can induce more writes than you expect; yes, even read-only. That's probably not what you want. Consistency is key.

'Just' (I know) use "dd", "ddrescue", or simply pv/cat/shell in+out redirects (some limitations apply) to evacuate it first. This gets you two things:

1) infinite tries: files/loop devices are cheap and can be copied for free
2) better odds: the new home isn't questionable, right?

Stop thinking in terms of devices. You can write this drive to a file. You can write files to drives. Same for reading/checksums. It's all made up, yet it works. Magic.

By skipping past the block level to the filesystem, one is limited in what they can recover. You're at the mercy of it being more sane than truly necessary.

By mounting it, and potentially/indirectly writing [with bad media/connectors/whatever], you may be irrevocably breaking the filesystem.

Perhaps they get into this, but wow. I know I'm not 'The One'. I hate to pretend to be; but this is day one data-preservation stuff. I'm almost certain we've all taken compliance training that covers this.

Cutting corners like this is pretending to be The One; you don't know better. Nobody is perfect, I'm on my soap box because I've done the same thing - and want to save others. It hurts.

I had to post when I got to "LOL it went RO, it's probably fine" (my words)... when no, the kernel interjecting to protect the data is not a reasonable first line of defense.

Aside from what they chose to do... damage well-and-truly could already be done by their inaction. Having left it running/hoping for re-allocation.

I wish I could have as much faith as they've shown in what little I've read so far. I close my rant with this: a little mechanical sympathy goes a long way. Now back to reading.

It depends how far they go. There are games where they insist I must play as a big titted whore even though I don’t identify as a woman and even if I was a woman, I’d opt for more subtle whoreness not the full whoreness some of these games insist I must role play.
I agree with you about it not being a dystopia but clearly it's a cautionary tale. The message I got from Her is not "Don't create the Torment Nexus" but "Touch Grass" or maybe "Don't force it." The narrator is profoundly socially alienated after his divorce. He's hung up on his ex-wife he's lonely, so he goes on all these dates with other people like Olivia Munn which are horribly awkward so he withdraws even further. Finally he finds Scarlett JohanssAIn and everything is perfect blah blah blah. But clearly it's not going to last as AI Scarlett clearly is in a different league and goes on to cheat on him and accelerate the singularity. He ends up with his awkward neighbor who isn't perfect and has her own skeletons but is more fundamentally compatible than other people he's been with.

I actually just read the Wikipedia article about the writing of the script and Spike Jonze has explicitly said he was inspired by the false allure of chatting with a chatbot. So clearly the intent of the work is in strict tension with the GPT-4o demo.

I've always argued the worse businesses to start are those that rely on some type of technological advantage.

These business are extremely difficult and costly to build because you're pushing at the edges of what's possible and they're also extremely easy to disrupt because it only takes one innovative team to completely erode any advantage you once had.

The only exception to this is if you can use your technological advantage to capture a market, then once you have a dominate market position your continued survival no longer depends solely on your ability to maintain an absolute technological advantage. But even this strategy is risky long-term with companies like Intel and IBM being good examples or how even dominant market players can be disrupted if they continuously fail to keep up with the pace of innovation.

My answer to you is probably not what you want to hear, but in my opinion if you're building a startup like this you should assume you're on limited time. You should only build the startup if you're genuinely passionate about the problem you're solving, and not because you believe what you're describing is a good long-term business opportunity (because it's not).

If you want to build a businesses that isn't likely to be disrupted you should consider doing something more traditional. I highly doubt individuals running landscaping businesses are worried about technological disruption, for example.

>That among humans rich with agency, there's inevitably someone who can see the opportunity in restricting access to the unlimited supply of ice cream as a way to control others and reduce their agency.

I think that is a real phenomenon, but different. The article seemed to focus on new technologies that are being brought into existence. It is one thing invent ice cream. It is another to figure out a mechanism to monopolize ice cream access.

If someone invents a new flavor of ice cream and monopolizes it, are they reducing the options available to individuals? What about if it is so good that nobody wants other flavors? What if the other flavors stop being made?
But if you are doing indexing, why do you necessarily care that it's specifically chronological?

Or besides that, if there are odds of CreateAt collision, and you are fallbacking to ID, you are still possibly not getting it chronologically?

And also if CreateAt does happen to equal to another record that is exactly the case where Postgres might most likely not have the auto incr chronological.

So still it seems like the edge case it tries to prevent it would still happen at least at similar magnitude of odds.
