Economist here. You’re not considering agglomeration effects. Smart people near other smart people are more effective. So world GDP growth may be faster.

(Economists have pointed out that US growth is slower because SF is so expensive, young smart people cannot agglomerate there and learn tech faster.)
They seem like the last big PC company where PC actually stands for personal computing. It’s a left over from old Silicon Valley, the one steeped in human potential ideas with a sprinkling of actual as-in-individual-liberty libertarianism.

Could it be viable to have one or multiple kuzu databases per user? What’s the story like for backups with kuzu?

I saw you recently integrated FTS which is very exciting. I love everything about Kuzu and want to use it, but currently tempted to use Turso to allow for multiple sqlite dbs per user (eg one for each device).

Or would it be possible to use Kuzu to query data stored on sqlite?

Great work through and through tho. Really amazing to see the progress you’ve all made!

Hi, I’m Jason Kenneth Hauw, a mobile developer with experience in iOS, Android, and cross-platform development. I specialize in building mobile applications using Swift, SwiftUI, Kotlin, and Flutter, ensuring intuitive and high-performance experiences. I am also skilled in Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) so I understand about UI/UX principles and adhere to the HIG. I write clean and tidy code with scalable design patterns like MVVM and MVC, and I’ve also developed and deployed multiple apps across different industries.

I started my journey at the Apple Developer Academy, where I worked on projects like AppHear, an app assisting deaf students through live transcription. I’ve contributed to mobile applications for companies like UENA (an F&B platform) and OWL Plantation (an ERP system), developing new features, UI/UX improvements, and deployment.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Ah, just fixed this! Should say 20h now. It was an issue yesterday but I just let Cursor write something without checking.
Yeah I have thought about websites having "business hours" also. So support staff don't have to worry about getting a call or text message at 0200 that something isn't working... just fix it in the morning.

I’m not sure being a tax haven for multinationals by giving them sweetheart deals when the intentional loopholes don’t suffice is really indicative of a robust economy.
I agree. But in response, I'd also point out that AI, even in its current form, can help speed up our tasks: collecting data, verifying/cleaning, recognizing primary patterns, writing simple code to automate, conducting a critical self-conversation, drafting and refining our writing, etc.... Science requires a lot of mundane, tedious work, and AI can undoubtedly help us in this aspect. The idea that we are developing AI to replace our brains to make scientific progress for us is misguided, to say the least .

> It's an interesting idea, but if it's only open at a convenient time for a particular group, it's going to lack diverse and worldwide perspectives, and those are important for building a welcoming ecosystem.

This sounds like a nice sentiment, but I don't think this is strictly true. I would go as far as to say that it is largely untrue. Diverse and worldwide perspectives may damage building a welcoming ecosystem. Whatsapp for example is probably the most popular social media site across the world, and thats because different groups close off themselves into private chat groups.

Take a look at Nairaland, one of the most popular Nigerian social media sites. The content on that site would most certainly not be welcome on any of the silicon valley run sites.

Veteran teachers (20-30 yr) are saying that there was already a sea change in behavior a couple of years before covid. It seems to come down to young-adult parents who have grown up immersed in video-on-demand and video-based social media, to the exclusion of books, articles, and anything requiring an attention span.

Why? On what basis?
I found myself wasting way too much time, mostly on social media (really disappointing that Instagram, YouTube and Facebook all turned into TikTok-style short form content with endless scroll).

Sure and people thought taxi medallions were one of the strongest appreciating asset classes. I'm certain they will try but market inefficiencies typically only last if they are the most profitable scenario. Private equity is already buying up professional and trade businesses at a record pace to exploit inefficiencies caused by licensing. Dentists, vets, Urgent Care, HVAC, plumbing, pest control, etc. Engineering firms are no exception. Can a licensed engineer stamp one million AI generated plans a day? That's the person PE will find and run with that. My neighbor was a licensed HVAC contractor for 18 yrs with a 4-5 person crew. He got bought out and now has 200+ techs operating under his license. Buy some vans, make some shirts, throw up a billboard, advertise during the local news. They can hire anyone as an apprentice, 90% of the calls are change the filter, flip the breaker, check refrigerant, recommend a new unit.
This is becoming more and more complex I think.

To put it in the flatest way, it's not a given that users trust the platform owner more than some extension providers.

In theory that shouldn't be the case, and not trusting a platform that runs natively and has potential acccess to everything we do sounds crazy. But in practice there's only so many platforms, and depending on one's work or environement, not using Chrome isn't even an option.

In that context, extensions are the most direct tools the users have to get back some control.

Your comment was downvoted into oblivion, but it's a very valid point. There is a significant number of GNU/Linux users who value the freedoms granted by FLOSS licensing, so I believe Orion not being a FLOSS project is a valid argument against it - specifically in context of GNU/Linux (as a part of Free Software movement).

At least it certainly leaves me (personally) having second thoughts, even though I'm no purist and use proprietary software (but try prefer free software if I can).
I believe it was what we call a joke.
As long as it serves the local population (and apparently it does), I don't see why it's a wrong thing to. Ireland is not just a paper-holding tax haven; it has huge factories and engineering offices of large and successful corporations, again, employing local folks. I don't see how it might make its economy frail.
I've definitely considered trying to create a social media website that only allows you to connect with, say 150 people (Dunbar number), and only allows you to make one or two posts per day.

Hey!

I've created a website where you can recommend games to each other.

The idea is to make it easier to discover new games based on recommendations from friends and other gaming enthusiasts—just like how I've personally found great games through discussions and podcasts.

On the site, you can create a top 10 list of your favorite games, and I'm planning to add more features over time. Feel free to share any ideas!

The goal is to build a platform where you can see what your friends are playing and what they think about different games—without ads or engagement-driven algorithms.

This is a personal project that I'm developing on my own, and I'm exploring different ways to fund further development—maybe through a donation button or a membership system. All suggestions are welcome!

The site is still under development, so let me know if you find any bugs or have any improvement ideas!

Hope you like the concept!
Love it!

Since the cost can correctly only be evaluated when the transaction (cycle) has taken place, take a look at that for cost calculation of previous trades, and use some algo to predict the same for future scenario which you are supposed to be dealing of.

My advice on approach would be that you should consider it as a big auction house with many items, if you remove the items you're still left with the house, what's the value of the house ? There can be different approaches, yet there can't be a repetitive answer.

Posting this from firefox: most enterprise tools are only tested under Chrome, and many will break with no recourse when used on firefox.

And it's worse with extensions. For instance right now the OneLogin extension is dead on firefox, and while it's a crappy service, it's cheap and enterprise friendly...so employees in the contracting companies will only be able to log to corporate resources through Chrome.

It's not as hellish as the IE6 situation was, but boy we're pretty quickly approaching it.

Another fun fact, the current population in Ireland is about 5.3 millions. That means there're more Irish in U.S. than in Ireland.
Ah yes, I see what you are getting at.

But to clarify the report's indirect costs is not due to (just) indirect costs on buying goods transported by carbon tax, but the report's additional "economic factors" is due to "the loss in employment and investment income".

But I personally find this take in their report unfair because the the alternative of not having the carbon tax isn't really the status quo, because there is an "economic cost" from climate change such as 'the interior of BC being hotter than death valley' and 'the town of Jasper burning down'.

That said, I do see that I'm rationalizing my personal beliefs on this topic, and that is also unfair.

including, IIRC, at least one FPGA-based circuit that had a blob of logic not connected to anything else (ie could not possibly be involved in the logical functioning of the circuit), but when removed the implementation stopped working. So the actual circuit wasn't a sensible design option, just a very implementation-specific local minimum.

I think the original design challenge was something like a tone discriminator circuit. I can't recall the details

It depends on whether you consider WhatsApp to be social media (is iMessage social media? is one-to-one SMS social media?). I think it's different enough to what the author is attempting here to be considered differently.

"Which Autocad versions have connect 4 built-in?".

To be clear i distinctly remember playing connect 4 on the old Dos Autocad back in the day. ChatGPT and almost all other AI will straight up hallucinate things trying to get answers on this.

I ask: "What DOS productivity tools had hidden games?"

ChatGPT: "Lotus 1-2-3 had The Incredible Machine built in" (this is absolutely not true, ChatGPT is full of shit here).

Damn it feels useless for this kind of thing.
"I suspect the removal of AM radio in EVs is also because the cost to RF shield the car against EM emissions in that frequency range was deemed too high for the audience it would address,.…"

The difficulty in suppressing switching noise/RFI is one of the stated reasons EV manufacturers give for removing AM reception. They say that keeping AM will increase EV costs.

If regulators/spectrum management were to agree to their request then that would imply a relaxation of existing EMI emission standards. With thousands of EVs on the roads the noise floor on the HF band and lower frequencies would become intolerable, the band would become unusable.

A while ago on HN I referred to a now-dated NATO communications tech note on interference that said the noise floor on the HF band had increased about 6dB. I went on to mention that about a decade ago I'd mentioned the NATO stats to an engineer from a HF transmitter manufacturing company at a trade show. He responded by asking me where I'd been in recent years and went on to state the noise floor on HF had since increased to about 17dB above the pre-digital switching era.

As I said that was about a decade ago when EVs were still only lab prototypes. If EV manufacturers are allowed to get away with emitting more EMI then the HF bands will become altogether unusable. And no doubt this is a serious problem.

EV manufacturers like Musk have enormous power and what worries me is that spectrum management authorities around the world will cave in further to pressure and relax EMI standards even more.

That increase in the noise floor from 6dB to 17dB was the result of spectrum management caving in to commercial pressure from the 1980s onwards. This was the era of deregulation and EMI regulations were loosened—EMR/noise testing etc. was not only relaxed but further outsourced.

It seems to me those who've a vested interest in the LF/MF/HF bands and want them preserved/saved from interference need to join forces and make concerted efforts to save them. An unlikely alliance of say the military, amateur radio (IARU), broadcasters and others speaking in unison to governments/ITU is what's needed to save these bands.

BTW, I once held an AR license which I got whilst I was still at school.
Home of the Underdogs, or HOTU.

I was active in their forums back in 2004. I still remember all the fuss when the admin/owner (going by nickname Underdogs) was "outed" to be a woman (she helped out herself, it wasn't a hostile thing). 2004 was a time when people could still be surprised that a woman was leading a major online project... wow. The past is indeed "a foreign country"!
A SQL table that has a `PRIMARY KEY` is (or can be) an index. Indeed, in SQLite3 if you use the `WITHOUT ROWID` feature you get exactly that: a covering b-tree index where the `PRIMARY KEY` columns are a prefix of the index key.

Also in SQLite3 tables w/o `WITHOUT ROWID` are still b-tree indices, but they are indexed by the row ID, or the `INTEGER PRIMARY KEY` column (which if there is one, is the same thing as a row ID).

I.e., tables can be indices, and therefore covering indices can be tables.

If you have a table that has no `PRIMARY KEY` then a heap makes some sense, but then again so does a b-tree indexing by row ID. But then again a table without a `PRIMARY KEY` actually makes little sense in a world of relational algebra where tables are sets (as they are supposed to be in SQL) because a table without a `PRIMARY KEY` implies allowing duplicate rows, and then you need a row ID to deal with those... A table without a `PRIMARY KEY` is always a table that has an implied `PRIMARY KEY` that is just a row ID.

> is a complicated thing in tech

That's the point. Understanding complex things is what experts are supposed to do.

> You can finnangle most systems into doing mostly anything

"most" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here and I think the point you're making isn't discrediting my point. Sure you can hamfist a lot of things into working but an expert should know when to use better tools. Being able to identify what would end up as a very hacky solution from one paradigm but could be efficient and/or elegant in another is what an expert should be able to identify. Essentially, are they able to reduce technical debt even before that debt is taken on?

> an understanding of a field, not a space in the field.

Would you mind clarifying the difference? I agree these are different things but I'm not sure why understanding the limitations would imply not having narrower domain knowledge. Sure, in ML knowing the advantages of convolutions over transformers and vise versa is good. But if you're working on LLMs, ViTs, or anything else it is still good to know what the limitations of transformer models are, and specifically what attention can and cannot do. We should be able to get more and more narrow too. An expert will be able to understand the nuances of specific evaluation methods: metrics, measures, datasets, and other forms of analysis. Being able to discuss nuance and detail is how you determine if someone has expertise or not. IME it tends to be pretty easy to identify experts (even in other fields) due to their ability and frequency of discussing nuances.
