I would argue that doing a comparison requires the author to actually have heard of the other option first. The world has infinite things, we can only focus on so much.
you are right, I checked now and these are based on gRPC

for some reason I remembered these used REST
I mean, it's sort of what it says on the tin: it's parallelized. Valkey is essentially just an optimized Redis, which is largely single threaded. Pedis is multithreaded. That comes with tradeoffs under certain workloads, which you don't even have to get too creative to imagine.
Good idea, thanks!

I was scared to allow any URL, to be honest.
That's why I restricted this to a set of allowed domains.

But as it's open source maybe I'll have the chance to get it pair reviewed before shipping it if this gets traction.
It is a relative downgrade, in the sense that Europe was a lot worse of a place to live in the past. But I’m not sure, I think I’d rather be a rich guy in modern Europe than some king. If you are a rich guy in modern Europe:

* You get modern medical care

* Fancy cars

* Killing you isn’t a major political objective for a bunch of different countries

* You can probably hang out with American celebrities if they have the time

* Better food

So I thought about the brain uploading stuff for my next novel, "The Godlike Era" and my conclusion is : Dude, brain uploading to ONE replicant after you die is totally pathetic. Make 100,000 brain replicants. Run them in parallel on a nuclear powered GPU cluster. Have them learn all specialties of modern civilization in faster than real time. Have them teleoperate 100,000 robots. Build out whole civilization's worth of infrastructure on other planets with you as the ceo of that 100,000 person planetary development corporation WHILE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE.

>That's true a bit everywhere in the world, isn't it?

That has not been my experience. I'm not arguing it should be this way, but for better or worse I've gotten by very well with english virtually anywhere with tourists and most places without. I lived in east ukraine for two years and learned russian - enough people spoke english there that at times it could be hard to get practice time in russian. This was with a younger student crowd, most non-students and older people did not speak english, but the point stands that you can find english speaking people and get by in most situations.
Show HN: Eveeve – Bridging writers and readers across languages
You won’t necessarily notice it as much in end user application. But I already see good adoption for knowledge workers and the next step is in process automation through agentic workflows. Most likely the result will be in the form of efficiency gains, improved profits and worse customer service.
I agree with the general idea, but
1) LOC is not a good metric
2) I would immediately take off the list Python and Typescript, and anything what is compiled, leaving the list much shorter
You actually have it backwards: only the people who have already bought into some myth care about the science at all. The human brain doesn’t take data and create a story, it adapts data to the story to which it already cleaves.

Notes on running Go in the browser with WebAssembly
This article is the startup equivalent of attaching the word AI to get hype views.

There were no concrete points made about AI specifically causing the pollution. I’m almost certain their actual business of fast fashion is 99% of their emissions, not the AI models they run to optimize their business strategy.
I always thought the Swiss cheese model was used to suggest that no one party could possibly be responsible for a bad thing that happened. Interesting to see the company’s culture blamed for the cheese itself.
The Misguided Antitrust Investigations in AI
What you are describing is just an AGI aligned with a particular person. So we (humanity) is working on that problem.

Not sure if it will ever satisfy the desire to lenghten human lifespan though. Just as a thought experiment imagine that we have this tech. You have your perfect replica. It responds exactly like you would and no one else, not even you can tell its responses apart from yours. Once you have that, and attained “immortality” as such, do you mind if someone shoots you in the head? The real you i mean. After all you are immortal. Your behaviouraly emulated clone will keep doing what you do, loving your wife, taking care of your kids, supporting the causes you support etc.

For me the answer is that I would absolutely not let my real body killed just because i have my behavioural clone. Which to me implies that at least for me it is not a true continuation of my life. More like having a living will, or a son who is way too similar to me, but still not me.

Basically I would not reach 1000 years. This thing created in my image would.

No one forces anyone to serve this market. No one forces governments to allow these kinds of companies to operate their business this way legally.

I agree there is a cultural component here, but there is a cultural component behind many things that we have decided are a net negative for society and used policy to curtail.

Regarding the intermittent power cutoffs during boot it should be noted the drives pull power from the 5V rail on startup: comparable drives typically draw up to 1.2A. Combined with the maximum load of 25A on the 5V rail (Seasonic Platinum 860W), it's likely you'll experience power failures during boot if staggered spinup is not used.
> Windows is way more stable than it was 20 years ago.

The problem with Windows today is more that it wants to opaquely update itself all the time, and the user gets undesired mandatory "updates" such as ads in menus and sending "telemetry" home (ie user activity data for MS' machine learning ambitions). But of course the most important thing is to keep fucking web browsers up-to-date with laughable and undesired CSS or WASM features (including subsequent exploit/fingerprinting fixes) all the time and even more often than actual content, or what's left of it anyway on the extant web.
You can shoot real RAW with the iPhone hardware, just not with the system camera app. If you use something like Halide or Photon Camera, they have proper RAW options that give you a traditional noisy RAW.
Facial recognition systems are generally utterly broken. Other examples of this:

- user-presence detection systems that can't see you if you have dark skin (Apple FaceID has/had this problem)

- the high rate of false positives with the facial recognition systems police use at protests

- driver drowsiness detection that can't tell the difference between a sleepy driver and someone with a narrow eye shape
Yes, and I bring first hand account it's your thought control messing with you (everyone, and for a long time.)

Look for accounts of the voices in people's heads urging them to seek medical help for problems they didn't know they had.

The voices are real and they're messing with us. It's not new, it has only accelerated (nature of modernity and all.)

Be wary and stop denying.

I should add, I believe this a part of human evolution, and we are stuck in a dark time.
Ain’t nobody adopting anything named Pedis
I had some similar thoughts when seeing the script.

For better user friendliness, I prefer to have the logging level determined by the value of a variable (e.g. LOG_LEVEL) and then the user can decide whether they want to see every single variable assignment or just a broad outline of what the script is doing.

I was taken back by the "print_and_execute" function - if you want to make a wrapper like that, then maybe a shorter name would be better? (Also, the use of "echo" sets off alarm bells).

> Science fiction is a dialogue, a tennis match, in which the Idea is volleyed from one side of the net to the other. Ridiculous to say that someone ‘stole’ an idea: no, no, a thousand times no. The point is the volley, and how it’s carried, and what statement is made by the answering ‘statement.’ In other words—if Burroughs initiates a time-gate and says it works randomly, and then Norton has time gates confounded with the Perilous Seat, the Siege Perilous of the Round Table, and locates it in a bar on a rainy night—do you see both the humor and the volley in the tennis match?

(unless someone has been messing with time gates, Cherry has over a decade on Stross, and Stross wasn't even FIAWOL enough to publish as Strhoss)
The problem is that the “self” in that statement is not the consumer. They have no choice, yet the bear the burden. The people who made these choices benefit from it.

The PHP docs pretty much ruined me for any other libraries documentation. Java docs had some nice things - ALL the methods and properties were shown for an object, even if it was inherited. I love Python, but their library documetation is a bit of a mixed bag.
So distressing to see this so far down. In fact "Android TV" is an OS product, and not related to this exploit. These are televisions that simply run "Android" as in an open source AOSP build unrelated to a Google product certification.
Well, congrats on finding the second bug! Thanks!

This one is pretty big, even as big as it's funny.

It seems it doesn't, no. Sorry for this. It's my first attempt at an international product.

I'll investigate and make this work.
I do agree with having to expect bias there, but who else do you really expect to speak out?Any current employee would very quickly become an ex-employee if they speak out with any specifics.

I would expect any contractor that may have worked for CrowdStrike, or done something like a third-party audit, would be under an NDA covering their work.

Who's left to speak out with any meaningful details?

I think of the use of metaphor by the pioneering hypnotist Milton Erickson, here is some description

https://ahsm.org.uk/the-magic-of-metaphors/

There is a famous story where he helped a cancer patient with severe pain by telling him a story about a plant.

It is not so easy to find a good link unfortunately because the SERPs are dominated by NLP shysters and people who want to sell a $1200 course (funny when I mirror the way those people talk and use their tricks I sometimes get a copy of the course for free but use those tricks on normal people and you don’t get such good results…)

There are situations where indirect communication works best and it is good to have a library of stories that fit common situations that you can adapt. Some of you might be tired of hearing about my cat “Bob B” while other ones of you will be curious of about him and search for “Bob B cat” on Google and be like my son and wonder why I could be so hung up on an animal who doesn’t love me back but I can say he’s a very good source of material for working with wary people.

This is neat. I added myself.

I'm hitting a bug where clicking New York just refreshes the page instead of loading the city's page. Los Angeles, San José, and... most cities seem to exhibit it. Chicago seems to work?

Picking a city was tough. It insisted on the more general New York instead of the more specific Long Island City.
This just reads as a grab bag of complaints about modern tech with little relevance to the topic at hand
The other comments have mentioned the tools. On linux, there's good old perf.

There's `perf stat` that uses CPU performance counters to give you a high-level view if your workload is stalling due to waiting on memory: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22165299/what-are-stalle.... However it won't tell you exactly where the problem is, just that there is a problem.
You can do `perf record` on your process, and then running `perf report` on the generated data. You'll see what functions and what lines/instructions are taking the most time. Most of the time it will be pretty obvious that it's a memory bottleneck because it will be some kind of assignment or lookup.

If you're using an intel processor, VTune is extremely detailed. Here's a nice article from Intel on using it: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/vtune-profiler/... . You'll see one of the tables in the articles lists functions as "memory bound" - most time is spent waiting on memory, as opposed to executing computations.
The Model X isn’t price competitive with the EV9 and the doors are maintenance liabilities.

I was a Science Reference Librarian at John Crerar Library in Chicago in the early 70's, and this sounds very familiar, although we tended to get a slightly more focused set of questions (and our boss Mr. Quinn was much more pleasant!). I love Wikipedia, but the books in our Reference Collection were remarkable.
It's a very uneducated feeling, but it feels as a new low for them. Given the ARM/AMD races that seem to have put a shadow on Intel in the past few years. Intel used to be a source of inspiration at least for me, and this makes me sad seeing them become defense contractors.

I don't see which part of your original comment actually contains metaphors, which would seem to be a prerequisite for such an offense. Frankly, I don't even see which part of your original comment is an argument in the first place, as it isn't attempting to persuade.

The reply is where both of these begin: illustration as a metaphor for metaphor (how meta!), and persuading the reader to take on a belief.
That is a common scifi trope. For example it is the starting point of We Are Legion (We Are Bob).
To me it feels obvious — making them the same codepoint makes case conversions require knowing which language the string is in. Making them separate codepoints does not. The only important question is whether Turks use separate keyboard layouts for typing in Turkish and English, because if they don't, this does also make things complicated, but differently.
Could have called it Threadis
This is a great idea, and I sincerely want it to work out.

For myself, I'll probably not use it, but that's because I'm an "old," and I stopped attending local meetups, because I was always surrounded by a circle of avoidance, where no one would look at me, or have anything to do with me.

Got a bit tiresome, but it's the way of the world, I guess. For non-olds, these meetups are great, with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
It's not diacritics, it's something more broken with geo coding.

Furiosa made me realize that this kind of storytelling, one that relies on worldbuilding and often prior-worldbuilding is the (or a) current way we approach movies. I mean pretty obvious considering the primacy of superhero movies, but worth accepting to better understand what's going on.

I've come to believe that one of the interesting aspects of the Mad Max movies is that often (not always) director George Miller makes them using the current popular language of cinema -- Mad Max and Road Warrior were Ozspoitation, Thunderdome (though admittedly not entirely his vision) was a Spielbergian blockbuster. Furiosa works wholehearted in the current vogue, building off and elaborating Fury Road. Not judging really, just observing. It's where we are now.
