I propose a different technique:

- Use a large context LLM.

- Segment documents to 25% of context or alike.

- With RAG, retrieve fragments from all the documents, they do a first pass semantic re-ranking like this, sending to the LLM:

I have a set of documents I can show you to reply the user question "$QUESTION". Please tell me from the title and best matching fragments what document IDs you want to see to better reply:

[Document ID 0]: "Some title / synopsis. From page 100 to 200"

... best matching fragment of document 0...

... second best fragment ...

[Document ID 1]: "Some title / synopsis. From page 200 to 300"

... fragmnets ...

LLM output: show me 3, 5, 13.

New query, with attached the full documents for 75% of context window.

"Based on the attached documents in this chat, reply to $QUESTION".

It's really not that bad IMO. It takes some effort for sure, but not enough to become insane...
I feel like you both got and missed the point, and it relies on your misuse of exceptional that doesn’t escape the original discussion:

Society needs and has exceptional people living in communes, in the financial district, in software development communities, and yes even in Springfield, Illinois.

Sharing your values or not does generally not correlate with exceptional.

If you are just looking for someone in your field to learn a trade from, well, great, but that is hardly the intent of primary education.
Scaling in and out is too slow to be usable. DynamoDB is great though, for many of my use cases it's a very good fit.
The crux of the problem is that the parent believes that putting a trans "woman" on a product that is intended for people who never asked for it is supposed to spread tolerance and acceptance.

The parent's view is that it is the fault of the consumer that voted against such imagery because they do not identify with its messaging because they were "nazis"

Yet seems oblivious to the fact that if it was done on to their favorite product, they would react in the exact similar manner. For instance, trying to stop the sales of a game which depicts women in a voluptuous manner, purposefully making them more "butch" because it offends a small group of people.

This is the exact issue that we recognize as wokeness that someone on the far left is incapable of tolerating. So the issue is always one side wants to force tolerance by forceful means, the other just wants to be left alone and leave it to individual tolerance.

The collective brute force method has completely backfired yet this still does not register in the mind of those that still think indoctrinating, forcing ideology on to people is going to lead to more tolerance.

That article is mostly about speed. The following seems like the one thing that might be relevant:

> Naively, you could take the random integer and compute the remainder of the division by the size of the interval. It works because the remainder of the division by D is always smaller than D. Yet it introduces a statistical bias

That's all it says. Is the point here just that 2^31 % 17 is not zero, so 1,2,3 are potentially happening slightly more than 15,16? If so, this is not terribly important
I can not talk for the US, but in Sweden it was schooling. I think Sweden has better literacy rates earlier than the US, but I guess I really should compare this on a state level considering how the US works. I am pretty sure that it is a political goal not an economic one, this is obvious considering US black literacy levels took until 1979 to be comparable to whites. I would like to point out that the Danish nobility discussed but decided against keeping poor and oppressed farmers illiterate in the 18th century, so it is not really an issue of globalization.
I love the idea. Here is possible next steps: use packer and/or azure image builderto add support for custom azure vm base image. This way people can just run OS with docker and all your cool add-ons everywhere. Next step sell the saas to azure or AWS.
Embeddings represent more than P("found in the same context").

It is true that cosine similarity is unhelpful if you expect it to be a distance measure.

[0,0,1] and [0,1,0] are orthogonal (cosine 0) but have euclidean distance √2, and 1/3 of vector elements are identical.

It is better if embeddings encode also angles, absolute and relative distances in some meaningful way. Testing only cosine ignores all distances.
Some initial concerns when thinking about this:

- Understanding how it expands the surface area of both the API and discussion of a struct (and thus also libraries and dependencies of the librar{y,ies}). Now you don't need to ask someone if they're using v1.0 of some package, but also which revision of a struct they're using, which they may not even know. This compounds when a library releases a new breaking major version, presumably - `%SomeStruct{}` for v2 may be different from `%SomeStruct{}` v1r2.

- Documentation seems like it would be more complex, as well. If `%SomeStruct{}` in v1.0 has some shape, and you publish `v1.1`, then realize you want to update the revision of `%SomeStruct{}` with a modified (or added) field, would there be docs for `v1.1` and `v1.1r2`? or would `v1.1` docs be retroactively modified to include `%SomeStruct{}v1.1r2`?

- The first example is a common situation, where an author realizes after it's too late that the representation of some data isn't ideal, or maybe even isn't sufficient. Typically, this is a solved with a single change, or rarely in a couple or few changes. I'm not sure if the complexity is worth it. I understand the desire to not fragment users due to breaking changes, but I'm not sure if this is the appropriate solution.

- How does this interact with (de-)serialization?

I happen to be working with the SQLite file format currently, and I generally really enjoy data formats. It's not exactly the same as this, since runtime data structures are ephemeral technically, but in reality they are not. The typical strategy for any blob format is to hoard a reasonable amount of extra space for when you realize you made a mistake. This is usually fine, since previous readers and writers ought to ignore any extra data in reserved space.

One of the things one quickly realizes when working with various blob formats is the header usually has (as a guess), 25% of it allocated to reserved space. However, looking at many data formats over the last several decades, it's extraordinarily rare to ever see an update to them that uses it. Maybe once or twice, but it's not common. One solution is to have more variable-length data, but this has its own problems.

So, in general, I'm very interested in this problem (which is a real problem!), and I'm also skeptical of this solution. I am very willing to explore these ideas though, because they're an interesting approach that don't have prior art to look at, as far as I know.

EDIT: Also, thanks for all the work to everyone on the type system! I'm a huge fan of it!
I'd bet this is covered by other laws. Practically if you come back to claim it you probably expose yourself to being advised of running the meth lab. If it's unclaimed it's then abandoned property, and pretty sure there's laws of how that gets dealt with.
(Don't take what follows as a judgement of your product. i haven't tried it and it may be amazing!)

What you are struggling with is simply a fact of life for any entrepreneur.

Get an idea, work on it, launch and discover if there is a market fit. IF no, move to next idea, start process over. Almost every great business has examples of pivoting from the original product or service and trying other ideas until landing on the one that hits.

You've built a tool. call it a your "prototype". first test case is you. do you like using it? does it truly make your life easier and more productive? IF your answer is meh, then put it aside and move on to other things.

It's depressing to leave an idea for dead. It's your baby and you love it, but it may just not be that idea's time, you may be able to come back to it at a later date with new eyes and find a way. Regardless, the journey of building something is of value to you - you can't help but learn from the experience and apply those lessons to the next endeavor.

Also, I'll state the obvious here...
Building a tool for the market and building a company to sell it are two very VERY different things.

The fact that you hit the wall when it came time to take your product to market might be an indicator for you. Maybe your are Woz and you just need to find your Steve.

If this try is a failure, continue to believe in yourself and never give up.

So many successful entrepreneurs are serial failures, until they aren't.
When massive CEOs are doing stuff like this people absolutely should call them out, and if they are deciding to not take their money then it absolutely is the right thing to mention it.

Should we all just roll over and say "this is fine" ?

PGs own "performative aspect" is writing that blog, the whole thing where people on the right invented "virtue signaling" is way to show off to each other.

It's a silly concept, but it's the age old thing of rebounding something people should do as something they shouldn't.
> She was definitely on the boxes and promotion materials

Have you got any proof of this? Everything I've read about it says it was just a single can sent for her to promote in a single video. Your argument hinges strongly on this claim, since a single can in a video is hard to square with "pushing woke ideology".
Thanks for these pointers, I really didn't mean for you to go out looking, was just complaining a bit about the presentation of that first site ;-)

Interestingly, the first forest watch loss (pink blob) I zoomed in on there turned out to be a project initiated by a local environmental organization to restore an island to its original farmland (as it had been up until a century ago and for centuries before) with wild sheep keeping the trees down, small bushes and wide range of local flowers instead of deep tree cover. And the nearest "forest gain" (blue blob) was a park tree. As Yolland the disenchanted mapmaker said, "Something is being eroded."
This is clearly hyperbole, the only person that knows what is going on in Mark's head is Mark himself, everything else is just speculation.

Hey, Query [1] creator here. The article raised some exciting challenges. With Query, we solve booth downsides mentioned in it. To keep things simple, we use EventSource for live reloading [2] and JSX Server-Side Rendering [3] for those who want component reuse in the server. It's just JSX with some helpful extras. I'm happy to elaborate on the technical decisions if anyone's curious.

A couple of days ago, I wrote an article about it: https://dev.to/gc-victor/building-static-html-pages-with-jsx...

> all it took was a single run with someone holding the seat

I think this is the key - holding the seat. The author of the article says "I did so in the usual manner - have her sit on the seat while I grab the handlebars and run along side her" - this surprised me, it would never occur to me to grab handlebars. I am not sure why exactly, it's an intuitive thing. As a lifelong road cyclist and an ex-racer, I have a pretty good feel for a bike... and you don't actually steer with handlebars, you "steer" (as in 'control where the bike is going') with your ass (which is why every experienced cyclist can easily turn with both hands off the handlebar). Someone grabbing your handlebars would misalign where your body is going vs where your front wheel is going and this makes you fall.

EDIT: I just realized that "steer with your ass" is something our coach used to say when we were kids. I think "your ass" is a kid-friendly proxy for "your center of mass".

MiniMax-01 Is Now Open-Source: Scaling Lightning Attention for the AI Agent Era
I’m not advocating for anything. I’m pointing out the cause of the effect you’re noting.

Concretely, I suspect it’s a side effect of ‘how dare they’ type political attacks and increasing balkanization. What a lot of folks would call ‘California style politics’.

Short of everyone taking a step back and actually evaluating what they want/need as people and having a productive conversation about it and a useful compromise (hah!), I imagine we’ll just end up with a ‘strong man’ who can do all the ‘bad things’ necessary to pull everyone together into a consistent direction despite whatever hate might be thrown in their direction.

Though typically that is just what someone pretends to be so they can loot everything… at least unless people are really careful to look at the persons track record of outcomes instead of what they are saying right now. And since everyone will be all angry and pissed off while this happens, lots of room for various bullshit to happen, ‘others’ to be made and punished, etc, etc.

Oh wait….

And yes I know this is a symptom of the problem, but I’ve also literally had enough of my life destroyed trying to discuss elements of this already to not do anything else. Murder anyone trying to be a hero, and what else is going to happen? You’ll either have villains, dead bodies, or cowards.

No they weren’t. There are still many (163 according to a very quick google search) selective schools in the UK with entrance based on taking the 11+ exam.

The build system randomize an example to showcase on the homepage, I actually find it funny that its different example every time.

Yeah, both my wife and myself learned with training wheels (I don't think balance bikes were a think) and it was a rather long process involving being scared, not wanting to remove the training wheels, and having an adult hold us and basically deceive us by releasing when we weren't suspecting.

My son had a balance bike when he was around 2 or 3. It then became too small for him. We bought him a normal bike when he was 5. We thought that maybe he would still need training wheels because it had been a few years since he last used the balance bike, but said "let's try without them just in case". He learned to ride in literally less than an hour, without any fears or surprises, and has never fallen so far unless when he gets cocky and thinks he can ride behind very slow pedestrians at like 1 km/h.

Laser Fault Injection on a Budget: RP2350 Edition
Amen!

I've worked at multiple lean companies that were purchased by bigger public entities. Without fail, the "problem" the company existed for moves from delighting customers to financial engineering.

Since going it solo, it's been amazing how satisfying a job/business can be once you get a sense of what "enough" is each month. I find that going the extra mile for customers, even when you aren't getting directly paid for it is incredibly rewarding and knowing when I've made "enough" each month allows me the time to do this.

Don't get me wrong, I went hard in the first few years to build up some buffer, but it's amazing how powerful and enjoyable building goodwill is, and how it pays for itself down the line.
The point you're missing is that your kid could have played on a balance bike years before it was old enough to be introduced to the real bike.
> I've taught 5 kids to ride bikes this year. The method is quite simple and takes only a few minutes and some light jogging behind them.

You need to compare this against the base method as a control (see above for my anecdote using my own kid).

The control method (i.e. do nothing other than scoot around) is about 5m. Maybe 10m at most. I don't know what I'd be saving if I got that number lower using props like a rope (or the sheet mentioned by a sibling).

The OP is kind of wrong, because Japan has a different set of issues that Nobody Cares about that the OP hasn't understood Japan enough in Japan to immediately consider. Ironically, one could say that the OP failed to spend 1% longer thinking about this part of their claim to imagine that a different society might perhaps have different "nobody cares" that are not immediately visible to them, before making it.

Japan is infamous for a certain kind of work culture that demands being in the office even when it's lot necessarily productive to do so; so onerous that it harms domestic life, among others.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_work_environment

I can well imagine that the OP would point out to the pervasive unproductive work culture, or unnecessarily exploitative work culture, and wonder why nobody cares about it.

Note that the dynamic of work culture impacting domestic life is to such an extent that the government is recently trialing arguably drastic measures: https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/06/asia/tokyo-government-4-d...

When he's donating a million dollars to this "inauguration fund" and writing weird posts about "masculine energy" I'm not sure this distinction matters.

The worst regimes went hand in hand with the press, and social media companies rolling over like this is a similar sign.

While he may not believe this stuff (I'm not sure he believes anything he's probably so detached from reality at this point) he sure is signaling he will do what they want.
Come from a family of teachers.

From what I hear, it really feels like parents are more willing to homeschool than to be engaged with their children's education.

You thinking your kid needs some additional sauce to not be "average". Rad, teach them that at home. What about sending your kid to school prevents you from doing that?

I'm not saying school is perfect. But lately Parents care more than students about getting an "A" and if not it's the "Damn Teacher's" fault.

They want to protect their kids from the discomfort of not doing well in school. When they should be working with their student to help develop their talents.
I have some friends who teach in Cov, there are some particularly bad schools in the city sadly. Sorry to hear you went through one of them. The effective postcode lottery of schools has an awful affect on how the part of our lives plays out.
Refuting the "it doesn't scale" argument with a data from a blog that showcases a single workload (TPC-C) with 200G+10tables dataset (small to medium) at 2vCPU (wtf) machine with 16 connections (no thread pool so overprovisioned) is not quite a definition of a scale at all. It's a lost experiment if anything.
It gets pretty messed up when the police can take custody of an entire house because someone once had drugs there.

There was a case a few years ago where the parents lost their house because their son once was caught with drugs in the house.
100% of the individuals that I've known who ended up either shot dead in the street or caught serious charges were from upper middle class, outright wealthy neighborhoods, or were keeping company with rich kids. Maybe my sample is badly skewed but around these parts all the wealthy are known for is buying their lunatic children out of trouble.

>unlike some other countries

Like which? Presumption of innocence is pretty universal around the globe. It has made its way into Western nations and parts of Asia via Roman law and is also a principle of Islamic law. There used to be some historic outgrowths that could be called presumption of guilt in England, but even that was more similar to civil forfeiture and not an actual guilt-based legal system.
