The size of the Russian market is irrelevant for western brands, for all intents and purpose—particularly US ones.

Europe could have cheap energy alternatives if they wanted, but they preferred to rely on cheap Russian natural gas, believing them not to be a rogue state. The attempted invasion of Ukraine has made it obvious this was a terrible miscalculation.

Arguing that Europe should try to restore the status quo ante bellum is not only foolish, senseless, illogical and irrational but dangerous too.

Your profile says you like to argue things that you don't really believe in just to "have a more lively debate". I can only imagine that's what's happening here, because no rational actor would make the sort of concessions to Russia as you argue, particularly after they have proven to be a much, much weaker military power than anticipated.
For indexing operators, there is some flexibility regarding the amount of internal operator state that is persisted. Say, in a stream-stream join structure, it's actually often faster to rebuild its state from its "boundary conditions" than persist it fully.
For vector indexes, it is necessary to persist rather more of the internal state due to determinism issues (the next time the index is rebuilt, it could come back different, and could give different approximate results, which is bad). Currently, the HNSW implementation which is the basis of VectorStoreServer is still not fully integrated into the main Differential Dataflow organization, and has its own way of persisting/caching data "on the side".
All in all, this part of the codebase is relatively young, and there is a fair amount of room for improvement.

The pay gap discussed in the article is more about low wages than high wages. The 75th percentile is the third highest in the country, but the gap between that and the 25th percentile is the largest. In other words, the gap is more about people making less than $40k than about people making over $90k.

What was it in past decades? It doesn't seem particularly surprising that California would have a broad range of incomes. It contains some of the wealthiest and highest cost-of-living sub-regions of major metropolitan economic hubs and it also contains communities in absolute middle of nowhere barren deserts. All of the American southwest has the barren desert, but only California has the coastal hubs in the same state. East coast and PNW has major coastal cities, but not the barren desert. Texas is the most similar, but a lot of "middle of nowhere" Texas is wealthy anyway because of oil.

I got to less worry by concluding that there's no fixing it at all. It's all an entropic reaction, like milk mixing in coffee. You can't freeze the mixture in time or reverse it. It's all deterministically headed toward its lowest energy state, whether that's some utopia or dystopia. And, in a roundabout way, that translates into it not needing fixing! The only thing that needs fixing is my approach/relationship to it.

At this point you're just trolling. It's honestly tiresome. The US could easily produce cheap electronic motors if it wanted to in record time, particularly in a war effort. It would be child's play.

Too much to be able to ignore.

I think Brexit was also more obvious. The effects and timelines were more clear, there were stronger, and well-publicized opinions, and so it was easier to predict what would happen and hedge accordingly. This time of predictability also creates a self-fulfilling prophecy environment. Having people bet against makes things harder.

These news on the other hand seem more abstract. There's no deal now, but the Saudis could change little in the way they do business. They could also change a lot. Other players have cards in the game too— China could start pushing a petroyuan, it could be well-received, or maybe not. There's a lot of actors in the world trade of oil, and the global use of the dollar— plus the latter depends on much more than just oil trade.

With so many questions in the air, I'm not surprised nobody is making strong bets on what will happen. And perhaps this even leads to little happening in the short term. I guess time will tell.

According to BLS, the average American consumer spends about $6000 per month. 5-10% of a B2C company's budget goes into advertising, so each person may be generating $300-600/month in ad spend.

Discretionary income left over after spending is a much smaller number. Consumers can't allocate their ad dollars to digital content instead, because they've already given those dollars to the advertisers (by buying food, toiletries, housing, insurance, etc).

This isn't something app developers can change by making microtransactions easier or something. Businesses get their money from the advertisers and not from consumers because the advertisers have much more money to spend.
I disagree. I have chats where some people engage in good faith and aren't malicious, but nonetheless they are exhausting at times. You can tell them the rules and they will engage in good faith efforts to follow but the letter and spirit of the rules, but the simple truth is some people aren't "cool" or socially graced.

One of my more social group chats has someone who is both autistic and extremely romantically lonely. He is, as the article describes, "the very online person who is familiar with participating in chat at all times". It is a net positive because anyone can get a response at any time, but they can be a bit much at times.

You can either kick those people out, or take a break from them.

You're adding more complexity to both the transmitter and receiver. I'd be pretty pissed if I had to endure unintelligible speech for a few minutes until the model was downloaded enough to be able to hear my friend. I'd also be a little pissed if I had to store massive models for everyone in my call log. Also both devices need to be able to run this model. If you are regularly talking over a shit signal, you're probably not going to be able to afford the latest flagship phone that has the hardware necessary to run it (which is exactly what the article touches on). The ideal codec takes up almost no bandwidth, sounds like you're sitting next to the caller, and runs on the average budget smartphone/PC. The issue is that you aren't going to be able to get one of these things so you choose a codec that best balances complexity, quality, and bandwidth given the situation. Link quality improves? Improve your voice quality by increasing the codec bitrate or switching to another less complex one to save battery. If both devices are capable of running a ML codec, then use that to improve quality and fit within the given bandwidth.

Maybe, maybe not. If you posed it to customers in that way, many would object. If you didn't, then a $1000 price increase wouldn't really be noticed.

But it doesn't matter how many are willing. All I'm saying is that this is a thing that matters a great deal to me. It's pretty close to a dealbreaker. Even if I'm the only one that feels that way, it's still how I feel.

The auto industry appears to not want to make cars that I'd actually want to buy. Fair enough.

But I do find it interesting that one of the things that I was always taught was a strength of our economic system is that it will produce a wide enough variety of goods that pretty much everyone will find a version of a product that they'd actually want. That it appears that it can't looks like a kind of failure to me.

There are a number of reasons for the wage gap but one of them is that California is a top destination for illegal aliens and asylum seekers. They often have few job skills and are more likely to be working off the books for cash in ways that aren't accurately reflected in economic statistics. (I'm not trying to start a political debate on immigration, just pointing out one of several reasons for the wage gap.)

Leaving the silver standard for the gold standard. And devaluing the dollar then leaving the gold standard unilaterally in the 1970s.
