For those not familiar with DuckDB, it's an amazing database, but it is not a replacement for SQLite, if you are looking for a lightweight server side DB. I'm in love with the DuckDB client and use it to query SQLite databases, but due the fact that it only supports one concurrent write connection, it is not suitable as a server side DB.

It's really very extremely simple.

You're in charge of a safety-critical business.

You make decisions that trade safety for profit.

People die.

Let me use a different example.

People die all the time in motor accident all the time. It is a regular occurrence that close calls happen all the time, sometime with nobody's fault. The solution for like 90% of time is actually simple but also politically unpalatable: just reduce the amount of driving that's needed to be done. You don't need more traffic police or amazing self driving technology or draconian punishment. You can then concentrate your police resources on stuff elsewhere that matters.

That's it.

Advocating draconian consequences isn't really going to move the needle. Maybe it will even scare all the risk adverse CEOs and now you have dangerous executives in charge who will be insensitive to the consequence of possibly serving jailtime and being ruined.

Plus, there's also time and money wasted in pursuing extreme punishment. Beyond past a certain point, there's going to be no meaningful difference. What's the difference of being in utterly extreme pain and being in utterly extreme pain 1000x?
I got that vibe as well.
Except the causes for it are due to multiple elections of people with almost the same policies regarding regulation and taxation, leading to consolidation.

So, punished people by electing people with the same policies, just with more lies. Perverse incentive is to keep the same policies, but lie more.
It won't. The incentives are not aligned that way.

Whenever those MBAs in the C suite are judged by investor shareholders purely on financials, and they can pocket their own millions over short few-year timespans, they'll just juice the numbers to manipulate share prices and walk away from long term consequences.

I can't see this changing unless executive renumeration can somehow be tied to decades-long company performance. And ideally executive accountability can extend to real risks of jail sentences for poor decision well beyond when they jump ship.
Did this unironically.

There are certainly more UI libraries available for React than any other framework [1]. But do you think that these are also clearly better? What would be your go to framework for React? To me, it seems that the trend is going to framework-agnostic or multi-framework libraries anyway (e.g. Ark UI or Zag).

I don't know of any higher authority on what to call it actually. Technically that "app" (it is an android app just like any other) is called a launcher, i went with desktop, but I also like home screen, and I think I probably use these terms interchangeably in the course.

(You actually can install a different launcher if you are not happy with yours.)
The way that I've heard it described is that capitalism now appropriates any subcultures that arise. That both serves as an avenue for profit and has the added benefit of suppressing anything that might inspire people rebel against the status quo.

If RFCs were RFCs, it would be easier.

But in history, RFCs became loose or strict standards. From that day on, everyone has tried have to their own RFC stamped; because there’s an economic advantage to being the standard bearer.

So, the process has become more and more convoluted to avoid having as many “standards” as there are interested parties.

Miami sucks because half the people on the roads here don't actually know how to drive.

They are immigrants that come from countries whose roads are effectively lawless, or come from countries that have a severely underdeveloped automobile infrastructure, or come from countries where all that's needed to get a driver's license is to pay someone.

The new pricing tier suggests they're taking the Jobs approach - betting that their technology integration and reliability will justify premium positioning. But they face more intense commoditization pressure than either IBM or Apple did, given the rapid advancement of open-source models.

The critical question is timing - if they wait too long to establish their enterprise position, they risk being overtaken by commoditization as IBM was. Move too aggressively, and they might prematurely abandon advantages in the broader market, as Apple nearly did under Gassée.

Threading the needle. I don't envy their position here. Especially with Musk in the Trump administration.

That’s not a sensible analysis, given how NATO works. It isn’t even difficult to see how misguided that thinking is because you could simply recall the mounting hundreds of billions we’ve lately been sending to two non-NATO nations.
Yeah, _we library maintainers_ are feeling the same way :)

- https://bsky.app/profile/acemarke.dev/post/3lcitbmmfss2i

Big picture as I understand it:

The legacy and always-undocumented-but-everyone-knew-about-it approach was throwing a promise while rendering.

`use` still actually does the same thing, but it also attaches some extra status fields to that promise, _and_ checks to see if you're consistently passing in the _same_ promise reference.

In other words, it's the job of an external data fetching library to keep track of what query entry is being asked for, create and save a promise per cache entry _outside_ of the React component tree, and then return that promise somehow so the app developer can pass it to the `use` hook. In a sense, it's an async `Map`.

As another example of this, my former teammate Brian Vaughn (previously on the React core team) ended up building his own implementation of that behavior in the conveniently-named `suspense` package:

- https://suspense.vercel.app/

Ultimately, the `use` hook and Suspense _does_ do exactly what you're asking for - the rest of the component gets to assume the data _does_ exist, since `use` will only let the execution continue once the promise has resolved.

The problem is that the proper response to a tornado is very different than that of a tsunami. In the case of a tornado, everyone moves to an interior room of a well built structure. A tornado warning means keep on an eye on the sky. In the case of a tsunami, thousands of people may need to evacuate many miles away. Expected landfall of any tsunami was something like 20 minutes after this earthquake so they can't exactly wait until confirmation to get people moving.

I did reach out to several people in my friendship, gave them free the course just to get feedback. None of them watched it, so thats very, very surprising for me.

I suspect the biggest most powerful model could easily use hundreds or maybe thousands of H100's.

And the 'search' part of it could use many of these clusters in parallel, and then pick the best answer to return to the user.
Yes, yes, yes! I even talk about how hard it is to distinguish between these two things. Even as a user who just want to learn how to use it, kind of hopeless to find something amongst the dev articles/tutorials.
In the context of testing, the "why not" is obviously because most of the users are using Google Chrome and not Ungoogled Chromium.
There is actual, live compute costs every time you submit a prompt, and they're not unsubstantial. If you're not paying for them on your own hardware, you have to rent someone else's hardware to do it on a token-by-token basis or all-you-can-eat-basis. There is no way to save or cache any of this because it all works by predicting what comes next after the entire corpus plus your newly-written prompt. Unless you have that entire model stored, you can't do the calculation.

It feels like living through the 2019 Joker movie, everyone's lost a sense of what's decent and what's not. At the risk of derailing the conversation, people are even arguing whether dropping bombs on women and children is humane or not, and far too many are finding excuses to say it's fine.

Thomas Pynchon has as well but I guess he’s not as famous. But certainly extremely successful.

I respect him because a theme of Gravity’s Rainbow is the observation that capitalism will absorb anything that is useful and you can’t fight it as the fight against it will be commodified and sold. That you can only fly under the radar and avoid it - to just not create a market potential.

He’s certainly lived by that.
It's ironic because I never want to ask an LLM for something like your example general purpose question, where I can't just cheaply and directly test the correctness of the answer

But we're hurtling towards all the internet's answers to general purpose questions being SEO spam that was generated by an LLM anyways.

Since OpenAI probably isn't hiring as many HVAC technicians to answer queries as they are programmers, it feels like we're headed towards a death spiral where either having the LLM do actual research from non-SEO affected primary sources, or finding a human who's done that research will be the only options for generic knowledge questions that are off the beaten path

-

Actually to test my hypothesis I just tried this with ChatGPT with internet access.

The list of winterization tips cited an article that felt pretty "delvey". I search the author's name and their LinkedIn profile is about how they professionally write marketing content (nothing about HVAC), one of their accomplishments is Generative AI, and their like feed is full of AI mentions for writing content.

So ChatGPT is already at a place where when it searches for "citations", it's just spitting back out its own uncited answers above answers by actual experts (since the expert sources aren't as SEO-driven)
Thank you so much, I would really appreciate any feedback about that!

I believe what he's created is remarkable for his age, and thus worth sharing. The way he used the LLM is very interesting, even to an adult audience.

The feedback received has been incredibly valuable. Not just for improving the game, but also for sparking conversations at home about game mechanics, color balance, coding standards, and even broader concepts like design and flow.

Ultimately, I'm showing him how we do things in the real world - build it, write about it, make sense of the feedback, and iterate.

> but uber and Lyft are already capturing upwards of 50% of the fares for each ride

I'm not sure if that's an accurate number, but I have seen a lot of complaints from drivers that they're getting a far lower share of the trip revenue than they used to. It's pretty remarkable that in a competitive market where Uber and Lyft are almost perfect substitutes for each other and charge almost exactly the same prices, that they're able to maintain these gross margins.
