In a great number of (probably most) business-to-business software domains, most rows are only relevant to one tenant at a time. It’s a partition/shard key, basically: queries will only uncommonly retrieve rows for more than one tenant at a time.

Hassles emerge when the tenant that owns a row changes (client splits or mergers), but even then this is a common and robust architecture pattern.

I used to be defensive a lot, that's when I realized one of the main reason was due to low self-esteem and lack of self acceptance, many times people weren't trying to devalue me or offend me but because of I couldn't really accept myself, I usually thought they were attacking me instead of actually engage in the conversation to see if they really meant to judge me.

After therapy, lots of reading and learning to accept myself, now I feel better and more efficient communicating, sometimes I don't even notice people are judging me or making fun of me, because now I seek very little validation from people, this makes me focus on the issue and supporting kind people around me.

it's still a work in progress, but this new perspective of the world brings me more freedom and happiness.

this is a very good read, and I did found some of the mistakes I sometimes make in communication, this is one of the post that'll make me want to reread in the future.
I'm pretty sure that before the era of LLM, hired personnel and computer chatbots already exists on major social media platform to serve as "opinion influencers", either for political or commercial purposes. Just that chatbot algorithms are kid of naive, and have been "fished" on several occasions....

The usage of LLM is too obvious, and way cheaper than hired personnel, so it's like "prism". They don't want us to talk about it because it's been going on for so long...

NVDA stock seems like a reasonable proxy for measuring AI hype. I'm not seeing cooling right now.
I implemented something similar to the compositional regular expressions feature described here for JavaScript a while ago (independently, so semantics may not be the same), and it is one of the libraries I find myself most often bringing into other projects years later. It gets you a tiny bit closer to feeling like you have a first-class parser in the language. Here is an example of implementing media type parsing with regexes using it: https://runkit.com/tolmasky/media-type-parsing-with-template...

"templated-regular-expression" on npm, GitHub: https://github.com/tolmasky/templated-regular-expression

To be clear, programming languages should just have actual parsers and you shouldn't use regular expressions for parsers. But if you ARE going to use a regular expression, man is it nice to break it up into smaller pieces.

Mass education exists to brainwash and instill conformity.

That is a grotesque distortion. A century ago, most of the world was illiterate and innumerate.
No, no, no. That's not how you do oligarchy.
People tend to judge their government by the standard of what it could be if it just exercised common decency and honesty, not by comparison to failed states or anarchy. Personally I think this is the correct standard.
I blame the CNN liberal purge a year or so ago.

The quality of their news coverage has plummeted since then, and I get the impression it failed to convert the Trump voters they were trying to attract.

Nice to see the product brief break down the write endurance rating by workload. They really want you to use at least 16kB block sizes with this drive. NAND page sizes have been larger than 4kB for quite a while now, but most SSDs still put significant effort into handling 4kB IO operations well. This market segment of server drives optimized for capacity over performance or endurance is where vendors are most willing to be up front about how your workload really should be appropriate for the drive.
I just arranged a selection of 4K H.264/H.265 clips in a 2x2 grid on a 8K timeline in DaVinci Resolve.

Playback works well - up to 60fps. However, export to H.265 creates a lot of Swap. Rendering went with 15-18fps. All videos on a SMB network drive but the GPU was the bottleneck for rendering.

Swap was even around 24GB with 5 videos which I tested first. Using 4x4K it went 9 GB before stabilizing at around 2GB. No effects or grading whatsoever - plain 4K60 SDR videos.

One single SDR 4K clip renders to 8K at 25fps. Using Superscale 2x makes that 0.5-1fps.

For 8K rendering you may be better off with 32GB RAM minimum or trying the M4 Pro model maybe with 24GB. For 4K/6K editing the base 16/256 M4 Mac mini seems sufficient when all video storage will be on external drives or network.

Edit: added single 4k->8K rendering performance

Not to mention that the cost per search in terms of compute and energy is so much smaller for web search than for running an LLM. I forget the exact numbers now, but it was orders of magnitude as I recall.

Search engines are just cheaper to run. I don't know that there's a good, long term model for a free LLM-based search replacement because of how much higher the operating costs are, ad supported or not.

Where do you get the idea that politics has, or has ever had, the ability to do anything of the sort?

> There was a last chance to do it right around these years

You're not getting it. There was never any chance to do it. You might as well be arguing for sacrificing goats or reciting ritual incantations. There is no political solution to climate change, and there never was.
> No it does not enforce ZFS or any other filesystem. That's up to you. ZFS or BTRFS are fine when indicated - and you need to know your stuff.

You are correct, it is optional and I should have made that clear. While optional it does have native support for ZFS and takes advantage of ZFS features, like instant snapshotting of LCX containers.

Or it could be a boon for video/audio/graphics types. I’m used to setting up my spinning rust arrays with 64k block sizes. Continuous reads from large files vs lots of tiny files is something that tripped up a lot of storage vendors trying to break into the media world.
But what's the point in Borcher's comment? Because there's efficient software use of memory, it's legitimate to put a tenfold price marker on the hardware?
I think the harm to millions of consumers is not from higher fares or fewer seats, it's from airlines treating us like we are cattle. Spirit is uncomfortable to the point of unsafe, and their entire perception of their customers is shameful.

Good customer service counts for a lot, it's not just ticket prices, otherwise Spirit would not be having these financial issues.
It's because the current state propaganda pressures people with constant "they are same bad just hide it better" rhetoric, which itself is copied from Cold War era whataboutism.

My parents and relatives say the phrase "America has all the same..." literally every time anything political comes up, which is a pretty odd thing to say for people who aren't even able to read English-language media, least of all been here, which they admit but the next time say it again anyway. It intensified after 2013-2014 and hasn't been true at all during ~1995-2010.

It clearly comes from Putin's government insecurity about their comparative performance, rather than from any Russian cultural trait.
> How can you differentiate [mania] or genuine appreciation?

If you've done any 5-HT2A drug you'll know the distinct feeling I'm referring to. The telltale sign is that it's always the combo: "everything is really important/meaningful" + bad working memory.

If your working memory is solid and you can actually process long complex thought without reducing it to vibes or simple aphorisms then you're probably not manic. Also important to understand hypomanic != manic != full manic psychosis, they are very different levels of severity. Anything manic or above is very obvious, people around you will be able to tell something is up within 30sec.

I am very hesitant to add specific details as it involves other real people he was accusing of manipulating him, which I know to be false.

I did not discuss specific details with them, but they already sort of knew because his behaviour at work was raising eyebrows late last week.

I recommend “Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well”.

It talks about the point of feedback and how there are different categories of feedback: appreciation, coaching, and evaluation. The frame bad feedback or poorly received feedback as “crossing the wires” where the receiver wants affirmation but gets coaching or evaluation. This throws them into a spiral. Recognizing this can make you better at receiving feedback and giving as well.

There’s a bunch of little things like “publicly praise, privately criticize” and that it’s way better to make time for feedback rather than waiting for the right time. Feedback is best fresh, where you can talk about concrete examples or incidents.
Pharmaceuticals are at best a temporary weeks or months long bandaid. Any duration longer than that using pharmaceuticals to treat mental health is likely to cause brain damage.

Non-pharmaceutical ways are, drinking spring water, eating heavy root vegetables and foods, like potatos, cheese, carrots, grains and also spending time walking and sitting in nature. If someone has experience with mediation, then having the meditative intention to surrender to whatever one considers to be the highest power e.g. God, Allah, Buddha, Universe, Nature, Void is also extremely effective.

There is a Github project [1] which has detailed instructions. The ancient i5-3570 only allowed 2GB ReBAR, BTW. GPU-Z says ReBAR / 4G is activated and working, Intel Arc Driver does not see it but seems to use it. Some part of the BIOS had to be manually fixed, AFAIR.

The PC was given for free, the CPU €11 yet overall I wouldn't recommend the process just for the result. It's only little benefit, if at all, though fun. On that occasion I also added some NVMe driver which works well, demonstrated for the similar Dell Optiplex [2][3]..

I expected a fast M4 package but still was mind blown to see the video editing performance. After all these video renders run for many hours.

My 2 year old i5 laptop - even with 64GB RAM and 2x2TB SSDs upgrades - was around the same price like the base M4 Mac mini / uses similar Power. The PC surely is way more versatile with these specs and expandability.

Staying mostly in X86-land due to affordable RAM & storage, nothing I currently have comes close to the M4 performance per Watt - and now even performance per $/€ - in my video-editing use case.

As far as I understand it MTTF measured in device hours is meant to give expectation on how often to expect a failure when you buy a pool of devices and run them a reasonable amount of time (I.e. a number to tell you when you buy 2,000 of this how to calculate your expected failure interval) not necessarily "how long an individual device is expected to keep working".
