Just a note that the most common Markdown flavor (Commonmark) doesn't actually support frontmatter. The author is using presumably Obisidian-flavored Markdown (which is a mixture of Commonmark, GH-flavored Markdown, and Latex).

Tried many ORMs to get them to work in SQL, but EdgeDB's was the one that worked extremely straightforwardly, literally without any issues that weren't due to not following the instructions.

No bugs, no configuration errors, no nothing. It all just worked. So I think you guys deserve more recognition and credit for what is clearly a very well-engineered product that I intend to use for some of my personal projects.
6-7 figures. IDK if this is realistic, but it seems reasonable to me considering the cost and risk involved in reproducing this work from scratch (salary/benefits/overhead for a research group or individual; no guarantee of success), and the impact of the work (admittedly I am biased to think it's important). I have seen 6- to 7-figure gov't grants for projects (in a similar space) that I guarantee are lower impact.
I agree, they are only starting the data flywheel there. And at the same time making users pay $200/month for it, while the competition is only charging $20/month.

And note, the system is now directly competing with "interns". Once the accuracy is competitive (is it already?) with an average "intern", there'd be fewer reasons to hire paid "interns" (more expensive than $200/month). Which is maybe a good thing? Fewer kids wasting their time/eyes looking at the computer screens?
I meant one-way in the sense of "one-way decision". If you don't succeed, it's very hard to go back.
I've been working with OFCOM on implementing the requirements of this act. They seem reasonable, and what they are looking for is mostly table stakes. That said, I wouldn't want to live in or run a UGC business in the UK right now.
> But framing it as a story about "AI" and "machine vision" just causes people to argue about the technology.

It's relevant because this furthers this idea that current early AI technology is not about making the world a better plance and is instead used to accelerate the worst aspects of humanity.

Sadly, the abuse of workers is not a novel idea. So the conversation should be more towards how we establish an ethical attitude towards how we make use of LLM's
Seems possible this is not so much because ChatGPT is finding better results, but rather because it has already extracted info from the site for people to read. They don't need to show up in the visitor statistics to read (a summary of) the info on the site.
What's to trust? Either a search engine gives me useful results or it doesn't. Of all the search engines I've tried, I get the best results from Kagi.

As to data collection, I appreciate their claims a lot, but "trust" is a relative term. I think it's very unlikely that they're less trustworthy than companies such as Google. It's likely that they're more so. But even if they aren't, I'm not in a worse position than I would be if I didn't use them.
Yes, but if you want more usage it is reasonable to expect to pay more.
It says gel is to Postgres what typescript is to JavaScript, so can I add gel to an existing Postgres instance and get the benefits of the nicer query language or does it rely on special tables? If I use some other extension like timescale is that compatible with gel?

And is there a story for replication/subscribing to queries for real time updates?

Postgres is so powerful partly because of its ecosystem, so I want to know how much of that ecosystem is still useable if I’m using gel on top of Postgres
Markdown is plaintext so you decide what it means. I personally write *italic* and **bold**, so I can use _underline_. Most Markdown to HTML converters would make the last example into italic, but you can customize many of them.

Commonmark doesn't even mention "bold", "italic", and "underline". It just says "emphasis" and "strong emphasis". You can style it however you want.

Just a user here, but I'd say there are many reasons, one of those reasons is in your name: auth.

GelDB's auth is versatile and doesn't cost a dime, while Supabase auth is only free up until 50,000 monthly active users, then it costs $0.00325 per MAU (> 100k MAU).

I personally just love its query language and the typescript query builder.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : Wait... do you know why HAL did what he did?

Chandra : Yes. It wasn't his fault.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : Whose fault was it?

Chandra : Yours.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : Mine?

Chandra : Yours. In going through HAL's memory banks, I discovered his original orders. You wrote those orders. Discovery's mission to Jupiter was already in the advanced planning stages when the first small Monolith was found on the Moon, and sent its signal towards Jupiter. By direct presidential order, the existence of that Monolith was kept secret.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : So?

Chandra : So, as the function of the command crew - Bowman and Poole - was to get Discovery to its destination, it was decided that they should not be informed. The investigative team was trained separately, and placed in hibernation before the voyage began. Since HAL was capable of operating Discovery without human assistance, it was decided that he should be programmed to complete the mission autonomously in the event the crew was incapacitated or killed. He was given full knowledge of the true objective... and instructed not to reveal anything to Bowman or Poole. He was instructed to lie.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : What are you talking about? I didn't authorize anyone to tell HAL about the Monolith!

Chandra : Directive is NSC 342/23, top secret, January 30, 2001.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : NSC... National Security Council, the White House.

Chandra : I don't care who it is. The situation was in conflict with the basic purpose of HAL's design: The accurate processing of information without distortion or concealment. He became trapped. The technical term is an H. Moebius loop, which can happen in advanced computers with autonomous goal-seeking programs.

Walter Curnow : The goddamn White House.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : I don't believe it.

Chandra : HAL was told to lie... by people who find it easy to lie. HAL doesn't know how, so he couldn't function. He became paranoid.

Dr. Heywood Floyd : Those sons of bitches. I didn't know. I didn't know!

The underlying purpose of org-mode is to manage this issue (the text part). It doesn't solve it, instead it is a tool for managing the steadily increasing archive organizational complexity within an ever evolving timeline. You reconfigure your archive's implicit schema well now you're in a world of heavy editing. That's life. If you don't have a solid backup strategy, you are going to lose stuff. That's also life. Big binary blobs are a different, equally important problem.

Sure, keep your archive text in markdown (which one? a dumb person asks). But I'd recommend managing it with org-mode, it doesn't really care what format your text is in.

(Yeah I saw the footnote mentioning org-mode but that reads to me that org-mode's reference there is entirely about the markup flavor.)
it might depend on what you want to do with the underline. Does it just indicate some kind of emphasis?

Could you use the convention in your documents that "_" is the underline delimiter? I know that the default is to render it as italic/emphasis but that is just a decision at rendering time. The semantics of emphasize/underline could easily overlap.

Of course if you want 3 levels of emphasis with bold, italic, and underline, then yes you need to look elsewhere.

Markdown isn't really a formatting tool. it is a way to structure text in the minimal way that a person would interpret it and a machine could render it.

There's nothing illegal about hosting a forum. The problem is that you as the site operator are legally required to take down certain kinds of content if and when it appears. Small sites with no money or staff don't have the resources to pay for a full time moderator. That cost scales with the number of users. And who knows whats in those 2.6M historical posts.

I grew up in New England in the 70s and 80s and never saw one - we were told that they were nearly wiped out in the lower 48 by illegal hunting and poisoning via DDT or some other substance that they ingested through poisoned prey.

I saw my first one about 25 years ago outside our office building that overlooked a partially frozen reservoir. Some ducks or geese were clustered in an open patch of water, and then boom! The eagle came down. It ate the waterfowl on the edge of the ice, staining it red with blood and gore.

Now they are common, especially near rivers or lakes. One regularly perches on the neighbor's giant fir that towers over our house. They are huge.

> Civil code law uses that way of thinking, where there are specialised courts for different areas: administrative, civil, labor, family, commercial and so on.

This happens in common law countries too. For example, the US has specialised courts (at the federal level) for bankruptcy, federal government contract disputes (US Court of Federal Claims), taxation (US Tax Court), among others. It also has a nationwide appellate court (Federal Circuit) with jurisdiction limited to certain topics (patents, trademarks, federal government contracts, among others), and another (DC Circuit) which despite being technically geographic in practice also has topical jurisdiction (many-but not all-lawsuits against federal agencies). Many states have specialised courts for various areas of law

It is very common in common law countries to have specialised courts/tribunals (or divisions thereof-there isn’t a big difference between a specialist court and a specialist division of a generalist court) to deal with certain types of cases, especially bankruptcy, family law, probate, child welfare, juvenile crime, patents, taxation, administrative law, military law, immigration, small claims - the exact set varies, but specialised courts/tribunals/divisions are very common.

But I’ve never heard of a specialised court/tribunal/division for computer cases

> I am curious what the world would be like now if Silicon Graphics had made a model that was less than $2,000, but still ran Irix and had some amount of the 3D processing stuff with it.

I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference as the low end of the market was driven by gaming and multimedia (i.e. movies on PC screen), and the high end of the graphics market was driven by rendering for expensive video and film production. In short, what you needed to play Fallout (1997 release) at home was an order of magnitude less than you needed to render CGI for Men in Black (1997 release).

> if they had released something in 1997 for "prosumers", before OS X came out, would Apple have its same market position now

I believe Apple would have been just as successful as they are today. Software availability (e.g. Adobe and Microsoft Office) and ease of use were very good on Mac, and not so good on workstations like SGI. There was a very small, very demanding market for SGI's workstations (rendering super high quality graphics), and there was a huge market for what Apple supplied (business, print, web graphics, music production, video production). In short the software ecosystem wouldn't have happened. Apple did a great job when OSX came out of making it easy-ish for app developers to port to OSX and allowed users to run their old mac software on their new OSX powered mac.

> Would we all be using SGiPhones?

Probably not. System V unix was very expensive to license (hence Android being Linux based and iOS being based on BSD and Mach) and would have added considerable cost to each mobile device based on licensing at the time. A lot of what made it possible to package up a modern smartphone was open source software + low cost components with ridiculous capability (for their cost). None of this was of interest to SGI where they were focused on high-end equipment with little commodity appeal.
I evaluated reactive databases for a client side app recently - what a mess to be found there. Node polyfills in the browser? No thanks. So yes, there is a need and I hope this could be an option in the future.
Good question. We’re indeed similar products.

Gel is somewhat similar to Supabase on the surface—both run on Postgres, both have Auth, and both offer AI features, a CLI, and a UI, among other similarities.

However, there’s a big difference beneath the surface: Gel comes with a high-level data model (abstract types, mixins, access policies) that replaces tables and joins. It’s still relational (and we’re about to publish a paper on that), but it’s more high level, strict, and yet more flexible.

On top of that, we have a built-in migration system (where schema is a first-class citizen), a performance-tuned network protocol, and a query language called EdgeQL, which is like a child of SQL and GraphQL. These are just a few of our “deep” features.

All in all, Gel is a fresh take on day-to-day database development. We cut no corners in trying to push the core database developer experience forward.

Worked for a res. Electrician for 6 years. It is often a pretty decent physical gig: drilling holes, pulling wire for days, climbing up under over every book you can think of. Someone else mentioned ground rods (relatively infrequent but), digging trenches for conduit, pulling the wire into the conduit, making up thousands of wires in boxes again and again.

Bending a 200 amp service wire around in a panel is no light task.

As someone who has never been to a gym, but has grown up on a farm and lived a life of mostly trades, it reminds me of all I see written about the different types of working out and how gym can be so different from physical labors conditions where what you are doing may not be a giant lift, or a giant use of force, but you've got to be able to do it for hours a day, back to back to back, day after day.

> It's becoming clear that the current Republican goal regarding transgender people is to establish that being openly transgender is a form of fraud

They came right out in the first week[1] and said exactly this in the executive order banning trans people from the military:

> Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service. Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.

They're saying that existing as a trans person is dishonorable/deceptive/'undisciplined'.

In the more civilized times, posting something like this in reputable forums would've gotten you banned for hate speech.
