I'd say this applies to any database management system.

Yes.

The Return is a 2024 drama film directed by Uberto Pasolini and starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche. The film is a retelling of the second half of Homer's Odyssey as adapted by Edward Bond, John Collee, and Pasolini.

The total cost of filming was $20 million, compared to the $250 million spent on Christopher Nolan's 2026 The Odyssey.

A large portion of U.S. adults are making ends meet with help from their parents.

Humans have been offloading thinking to something/some entity forever. From gods to influencers.

AI is the current popular way (at least in these circles) and if it's too much or too little it might not matter. What will matter is if this offloading is making people unhappy and having any negative impact in civilization. I have no idea

The contest was initially inspired by Daniel Horn’s Obfuscated V contest in the fall of 2004 (note: the original page is long gone, and this link goes to a snapshot from archive.org). The object of that contest was to write a simple program to count votes, that somehow miscounts the votes on election day. I was greatly impressed to see how even a short program to simply count characters in a text file can be made to fail, and fail only on one specific day, so that the bug isn't noticed in testing.

Definitely a lot.. thanks, missed that

Is this a little or a lot? any idea how that compares to other industries and donors?

I remember when I got into programming, when the thing to use was basic on a TRS-80, a friend was showing me how MUMPS was as much better language than basic.

Good times

I eat a lot of bread and I make a lot of bread because of that.

Precision measure and mixing and timing helped me a lot in the beginning.

Though I still do that, I find that now I can rely on feel (experience if I'm honest) to know when the dough is just right.

Like with everything, there's probably a middle ground there but I think I just like having fun pretending I'm on a chem lab :)

Amazing work, fantastic!

- Hybrid recall + reranker: Two searches merged, then re-scored for best matches

- Supersession: Old facts get hidden, new ones take their place

- Decay: Recent or often‑used memories get a score boost

- DLS: Each user only sees their own documents

I tried for a bit, with llama.cpp + Qwen + Mac Pro but the results were very poor (both quality and speed).

I considered investing in better hardware but doing the math, it is cheaper for me to pay for DeepSeek (yeah, I know not everyone can do that).

Holly bananas, that Boost Design Rationale post is, what's the word I'm looking for, intense.

I have worked in companies where "X is not complete" would be logged as a bug

I've come to realize it's all about perspective. Something from the engineering stand point may not be a bug because there's nothing to fix. But the user might be having a bad experience because of that so it must be a bug.

In the end, the user's perspective might be the less-wrong one.

using an embedder instead of a decoder is quite clever. Not sure who came up with that first but it's a cool idea.

U-2200, a non-corporeal entity claiming to be the prehistoric Johorean god of forgetting how to ride a bicycle, engages Quinn in a conversation, suggesting she take a month off in Barbados, drink alcohol, or resign from the Organization.

I know all is relative but when I think of > 8× AMD MI300X GPUs and 2,100 on 8× NVIDIA H200

I still find it mind boggling. That's a lot of compute power and still considered "low end" for the purpose it serves.

Well, if the marketing teams are being told to reach people using AI or something like that, then Google is just playing to their real customers.

Just cause that level seems to be working fine for me and it's usually faster.

Max 2 parallel agents, usually.

As for out tokens, it's about 200k/day

I've been using V4 flash consistently with Claude. Pretty great fast and darn cheap. I use it about 3h/day and so far haven't crossed $1 USD/week.

FWIW, I this is what I have in my settings.json

The referendum is actually about having a referendum first.

Thanks so much for the work you and your team do!

One could say in order to be a senior developer in any area, more-than-good- communication skills are required.

I dislike Go but I have to admit, it's a great language for AI generated code. Simple enough, it compiles quickly and it performs meh-well enough for most applications.

One of the reasons I dislike Go is because it's easy for most engineers to write really low grade code with it. But AI agents would probably not write the best code in any language anyway, so not much is lost.

I'm sure someone at Anthropic is reading this post. I hope so and I also hope they take the high road.

I like to think the Vision Pro was ahead of its time. Just because it's such a cool product. Just not practical yet for every day use cases
