Sure, but if you spend time in Japan you really will see five-year-old kids walking long distances and taking transit to school and running errands unaccompanied.
We live across the street from our kids elementary and middle schools. There is a sidewalk and a crosswalk to the school. Parents in our subdivision still choose to drive in because "the crosswalk is too dangerous". Schools can't afford crossing guards, county engineers claim it is an enforcement issue, police can't cover it with their limited staffing, and Republicans are banning school speeding cameras in Georgia.
I was feeling a bit Kafka-ish with all the gushing systemd support until I saw this comment. And same here; I don't care what other folks are enamored with, but them "other plans" you mention, they concern me and I wish it concerned others too.

This is still true. I wouldn’t use Cockroach if it were my own business. Also, they don’t offer any free version to try out the product. All you get is a short trial period and that’s it.

Blowing efuses is a destructive action and it should not be legal for a company to destroy parts of your electronic device that you paid for
According to the school. They don't like releasing kids on their own for some reason. neighbors wanted their son to walk home alone and the school said the kid could either take the bus, or a parent could show up and walk him out. Yes, for the same ~1 mile walk I describe above, that's all paved paths in a very safe neighborhood outside DC (Reston VA). Not all of Reston is like this, but out are is VERY walkable (~1 mile to schools, ~1 mile to shopping, ~1.5-2 miles to the town center and Metro station).

Problem solved.
As someone who has done a bunch of long distance walks in the UK, I’ve encountered any number of relatively rural or small town roads with no shoulders along walls or hedgerows that are at least as scary as a pedestrian as anything I’ve encountered in the US.
Guardian and Newsquest among latest publishers to tell readers: 'consent or pay'

Thanks! We'll consult one.

Quick follow-up: In principle, would it be possible for them to keep their current job while working on the startup, or would they need to leave it entirely?
Right. And, as a result, low token-level confidence can end up indicating "there are other ways this could have been worded" or "there are other topics which could have been mentioned here" just as often as it does "this output is factually incorrect". Possibly even more often, in fact.
We certainly have a way to go to support all cross-shard use cases, especially complex aggregates (like percentiles). In OLTP, where PgDog will focus on first, it's good to have a sharding key and a single shard in mind, 99% of the time. The 1% will be divided between easy things we already support, like sorting, and slightly more complex things like aggregates (avg, count, max, min, etc.), which are on the roadmap.

For everything else, and until we cover what's left, postgres_fdw can be a fallback. It actually works pretty well.
Or is the culture of "getting right to the edge of getting banned but not crossing the line for lulz" and "act in a way nobody knows whether you're actually trolling or not" dead?

Yup, among the sane! If there are any bastions left, we’re working on eradicating them. Honestly kinda baffled someone could type this sentence with the implication that this is a good thing…
True... I didn't make clear that I had tried to take a wild guess after reading only the first sentence in the abstract.

Hi! I'm a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer / Software Architect with 10+ years of experience building scalable web applications and modernizing legacy systems. I've led engineering teams improving data aggregation, CMS systems, and cloud infrastructure. Recently, I've been focusing on automated human-centric data parsing leveraging AI/LLMs. Seeking new opportunities to contribute technical expertise and leadership.
I'm not an insider and I'm not sure whether this is directly related to "energy minimization", but "diffusion language models" have apparently gained some popularity in recent weeks.

It sounds kind of like what you're describing, and nobody else has mentioned it yet, so take a look and see whether it's relevant.
The Libertarian philosophy is concerned with limiting the powers of government not companies.

I think people are seeing that companies can wield as much power and influence as governments can and yet have no democratic mandate or similar accountability mechanisms that we impose on governments.
They're discontinued and a week or so ago a certificate expired and millions of Chromecast V2 aren't working.
Some NDAs can effectively be life-long. (It's the non-solicits that are time-bound.)
How many kids walking to or from school have been shot by rural landowners? What you're describing is illegal.
Yes I’m always very surprised that people deal with the awful software that are on the TVs.

I use an Apple TV which, while a relatively expensive solution, has a clean interface and integrates well with the rest of my hardware. Plus rarely are there ads being shoved in your face in the OS/Home Screen. Apps can still do as they like of course.
> "voila" is French for "here it is"

I thought it was French for "look at that" (or I guess, literally, "look over there").
No, it really is commonplace in Japan. It makes good TV because little kids are cute as heck. Not everybody has kids, and even if you do, they don't remain five years old forever. So even mundane stories about little kids can stay popular.
Yeah like these "cheap" HP printers, which have to be connected to the internet so that they can force you into a subscription, use their own inks only etc. They do not belong to you either.
>That wouldn't work in US until the whole culture changes.

This is one of those things laws are great at. Delete the power of idiot Karens and the culture will return to normal.

It works for Utah (and to a point, Texas); it can work for your polity, too.

When children are at far greater risk of abuse and abduction by concern trolls and the State, and they very much are in New World countries, your society is broken.
There will always be security issues, so "but security" is not a reason to prevent a consumer from doing whatever they want with a thing that they purchased from you (I'm of course just speaking morally/ethically here since there's no legal provisions preventing that in most places).

If I pay you for a product, you have no moral right to tell me what I can and cannot do with that product, up to and including messing with the firmware, installing known-bad firmwares, wiping it and building my own firmware, whatever I want. It's mine, I paid for it, stop violating my private property rights.
I think you're referring to the CockroachDB Cloud DBaaS offering vs. CockroachDB itself, correct?
The last paragraph is correct and well said; as long as the trip is "brief" (that is, you haven't effectively moved to the U.S.) and your work-related activities for your European company are incidental to the primary purpose (that is, your primary purpose is not to somehow work for your European company), then you should be fine. Where digital nomads run into problems is when they're spending a lot of time in the U.S. and effectively have moved to the U.S. as a visitor.
There are a lot of companies who their livelihood depends on their proprietary data, and loss of that data would be a company-ending-event. I'm not sure how the calculus works out exactly, but having additional backups and types of backups to reduce risk is probably one of the smaller business expenses one can pick up. Sending a couple TB of data to three+ cloud providers on top of your physical backups is in the tens of dollars per month.
"Oh, I emptied your bank account here, let me change this."

> It already does though.

It doesn't. Websites don't have access to your file system.

> It's the type=upload box we've had for decades.

It isn't. That isn't giving the access to your file system to a website. That is simply providing a file to a website. The website doesn't even get the real path to the file but a C:\fakepath\filename.

> You can also drag and drop files into the browser too. This is all available to javascript.

Again, that is not giving access to your filesystem to a website. That is giving a file to a website.
Can foreign streamers stream in the US on a tourist visa?
> is not only irresponsible, but also impractical; it takes decades to implement regulatory changes and switching is very expensive.

But perhaps this latency is itself a problem that should be solved? I understand that there are good reasons for regulation to be a slow process, but it doesn't have to (and probably shouldn't!) take decades to iterate on.

And if regulation could iterate faster, some of your objections to the approach go away, do they not? This would also come with the added benefit of reducing the efficacy of regulatory capture.
I think this is completely rational given a realistic threat model. As a customer, I've had my browser hacked exactly never, but examples of feature downgrades from vendors abound. Vendors are a much more serious attack vector than a random hacker.

I'm glad you brought up the migration, because one of the main goals behind our project is to automate migrating to a sharded deployment. You can think of your DB as the base case (num_shards = 1), and PgDog as the recursive solution.
I think the correct way to do this is to allow a rollback to the immediately previous working version. Before updating, write current firmware to failsafe data storage, then do the update. Then a firmware reset sends you back to the last good version. I'm pretty sure this is already done by many hardware and software manufacturers, such as me.

> power users who care about privacy, security, and controlling their own browser experience while enabling them to make the coolest shit with the latest, cutting edge Web APIs

I agree with this part entirely.

Except I don't consider WebUSB to be a "Web API", despite the name. And if it has any effect on privacy and security, it's a negative one.
It never ceases to amaze me when tech people take issue with jargon in other fields.

The authors use academic tone because they’re academics writing for academics.

The conclusion might feel obvious to you (very conveniently, when you’ve already been handed the answer) but what’s notable is proving it with data and rigorous analysis.
The paper does not cover "mid-tier dining." It covers fast food because that's where they had good data.

Moreover, real restaurant spending in total is up, so while your personal dining decisions are interesting they don't appear to reflect the aggregate data.

I'm also not sure why you are calling Goolsbee a "Friedmanite." He served in the Obama administration and advocated strong government intervention during the financial crisis. Do you think every UChicago economist is a Friedman disciple?

Lastly, where did you infer the economists are "lauding" the productivity increases? It appears nowhere in the paper. They only defined productivity increases and explained why they occurred. Was there some other reason you wanted them to be lauding it, other than to justify your anger with people whose policy beliefs you don't seem to be familiar with?
> Then how would you expect an economist to study it, go to restaurants and report their opinions?

Unironically yes. There are dimensions other than raw profitability that determine the health of a sector. The work that chicago school economists do flattens everything onto just a financial axis, which is harmful in my opinion. What do I care about the "productivity" of the restaurant sector when all the food tastes like shit?
The AWS Common Runtime (2023)
What are you on about? Where did I say that?

My point was: Saying "this is what worked for me finding a job in the 80's/90's" isn't necessarily great advice, because it's not the 80's or 90's. If an oldhead says "this is what worked for me last year" sounds like he's giving useful advice.

Put succinctly: Oldhead advice is great when it's relevant, but oldheads need to understand that not all their war stories are useful. Feels like an extremely reasonable take, but strawman me some more if that's what gets you off.

Signed- An oldhead!
> “I’ll assume you want an accurate version of Pac-Man based on the classic arcade game – complete with a proper maze, four ghosts with distinct behaviours, power pellets, and smoother gameplay?” says Grok.

So the AI is already confused and spouting nonsense from the start. An "accurate version" which is "complete with [...] smoother gameplay"? Smoother than what? Smoother than what would be accurate? Smoother in what way?

Perhaps it's regurgitating a mangled version of a description of some improved implementation where "smoother gameplay" (compared to some reference) would make sense?

And also with their overvalued stock they can pay employees in stock and also buy competitors in stock. Amazon might not be that much better than Target or Walmart but the market prices them in much better.
These models are supposed to be reasoning. Why would you need to do all that work? If I can teach it to an intern, why wouldn't a model that can reason be able to do that?

Unless all the promises and hype are false...
We use the Postgres parser directly, thanks to the great work of pg_query [1].

Depends on your schema, really. The hard part is choosing a distribution key to use for sharding- if you've got something like tenant ID that's in most of your queries and big tables, it's pretty easy, but can be a pain otherwise.
> Also, they don’t offer any free version to try out the product.

The site makes it seems as if I can install CockroachDB on Mac, Linux, or Windows and try it out for as long as I like. https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/v25.1/install-cockroachdb... Additionally, they claim CockroachDB Cloud is free for use "up to 10 GiB of storage and 50M RUs per organization per month".
I lived all over this country. Inner cities to rural areas. North to South. East to West. Do you even have kids? And why are you targeting me on here?
At the moment I'm verifying a Rust floating point implementation, which has lead to many small snippets for not just generating test & edge cases (e.g. find inputs which falls outside of these conditions), but trying to prove completeness on all valid inputs.
That's because Amazon wants to do whatever they like themselves... you apparently can get stuff to work by running your own masters (w/ citus extension) in EC2 backed by workers (Postgres RDS) in RDS:

https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2015/07/15/scaling-postgres-r... (note that this is a old blog post -- pg_shard has been succeeded by citus, but the architecture diagram still applies)

And me saying "Apparently" because I have no experience dealing with large databases on AWS.

Personally had no issues with Citus too, both on bare metal/VMs and as SaaS on Azure...
99.9% of the companies in the world will never need more than 1 beefy box running postgres with a replica for a manual failover and/or reads.
> At what point does it become more costly and complicated to store your data on S3 versus just maintaining a server with RAID disks somewhere?

It's more costly immediately. S3 storage prices are above what you would pay even for triply redundant media and you have to pay for data transfer at a very high rate to both send and receive data to the public internet.

It's far less complicated though. You just create a bucket and you're off to the races. Since the S3 API endpoints are all public there's not even a delay for spinning up the infrastructure.

Where S3 shines for me is two things. Automatic lifecycle management. Objects can be moved in between storage classes based on the age of the object and even automatically deleted after expiration. The second is S3 events which are also _durable_ and make S3 into an actual appliance instead of just a convenient key/value store.
I live in a US suburb where a good chunk of elementary school and upwards walk home. This suburb is >60 years old. It's all about planning.
If you find yourself thinking about food all the time, that’s not healthy or normal. If you finish meals and are still hungry, that’s not normal.

Normal people think about food only when they’re hungry, then they eat, and don’t think about it again until their next meal. It’s very easy to go 8 hours without eating this way.

We have a 4K TV from Philips (really, TP Vision), which has Android TV, but you can just set it to an HDMI input and then it works as a dumb TV.

Being a Philips (TP Vision), it also has Ambilight, which is nice.

It’s a few years old though, so no guarantees that newer Philips (TP Vision) models work the same way.
The idea that "eating a donut" == "slowly killing oneself" is very silly to me. People get donuts because people like donuts. If you don't like donuts thats fine. But most people like donuts and don't think of it as "I am committing suicide by doing this". TLDR chill
I have no idea about EBM, but I have researched a bit on the language modelling side. And let's be honest, GPT is not the best learner we can create right now (ourselves). GPT needs far more data and energy than a human, so clearly there is a better architecture somewhere waiting to be discovered.

Attention works, yes. But it is not naturally plausible at all. We don't do quadratic comparisons across a whole book or need to see thousands of samples to understand.

Personally I think that in the future recursive architectures and test time training will have a better chance long term than current full attention.

Also, I think that OpenAI biggest contribution is demostrating that reasoning like behaviors can emerge from really good language modelling.
>Just look at the furniture in American restaurants - cheap, plastic, and uncomfortable, even in high priced restaurants.

Seriously, where are you eating? Nothing remotely resembling "high end" anywhere near me uses plastic furniture. It's all well-padded wood. From steak restaurants to ramen to pizza, I can't name a single place I go to that's plastic other than the typical fast food joints.
If you’re under 18 and not already overweight and still growing, it probably is.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for doing this.

If the recent trend continues, the May 2025 visa bulletin might have my priority date (May 30, 2013) current for EB-3. Originally, I am on EB-2. I have two questions:

Is it worth downgrading to EB-3, or should I wait for my EB-2 date to become current?
If my date becomes current, what are the next steps to getting a Green Card (GC)? Is there anything I can do to expedite the process?
Just give the abductors an NFT that represents the child.
those read the same to me, to be fair; although the important bit is "fasting for 16 consecutive hours", perhaps that gets to the point more effectively.

I've read that intermittent fasting has more "holistic" value than just losing a little bit more weight, specifically on blood sugar or insulin levels, as well as fat storage.

weight loss for health reasons should probably be coordinated with an expert who can look at your contemporary and historical blood tests. To be safest.
Unsuprising. Of course Amazon will do this. They need to.

Just another reminder that *any* company marketing about "privacy" in their product keynotes will always do the exact opposite.

Best example of this was Mozilla. Preaching "privacyin Firefox browser and now is deploying ad-tracking into their browser (after acquiring Anonym that sells your data to advertisers "privately").

As a user/customer, if I'm part of that 1% with an issue and get the same sort of "canned" response you see on the mentioned thread, I feel like me as a user doesn't matter. I guess the next step is calling customer support and then having the person on the phone making me go through their checklist of things I've already tried and again, feeling like this is of no use.

I think it usually takes a big rollout for these big companies to actually "hear" their users.
