Fair point, then you could claim it's similar to this DB with its reliance on Faiss. Despite that, Chroma at this point is more feature rich. I was mostly referring to this https://thedataquarry.com/posts/vector-db-1/

You are not wrong about the performance from Rust, but LanceDB is inherently written with performance in mind. SIMD support for both x86 and ARM, and an underlying vector storage approach that's built for speed (Lance)

I fail to understand why I should use it over a different embedded vector DB like LanceDB or Chroma. Both are written in more performant languages, have a simple API with a lot of integrations and power if one needs it

While not identical in functionality, I highly recommend Keka: https://www.keka.io there's even an iOS app

Interesting to see, as I still encounter these banners from time to time. I also have Wipr Extra enabled. Apologies for the mistake

Wipr is great, but they're a separate thing. Wipr does not remove the nagging cookie requests

SwiftData integration (and notably the Observable macro) seems like a huge step in the right direction for it. The problem we’ve found is that integrating SwiftUI in existing UIKit apps that also rely on stuff like RxSwift isn’t easy. So far it’s only good at brand new presentations for us. Another thing is that a lot of the great new features are locked behind iOS targets that are plainly too new to be realistic for products

It is solvable by making the hard decision to move to Python 4 with no backward compatibility. The two core issues imo in Python are the GIL and the environment hell and both simply can’t be solved while still keeping the 3 moniker. We’re in a field of constant workarounds and duct tape because we try pleasing too much

Admittedly I don’t have experience contributing to FOSS projects (yet), but like many companies we use the feature branch workflow, and have minimal conflicts; both on tasks and in the code itself. The reason is (and I’m stating the somewhat obvious) that we have engineering managers whose primary job is coordinating the tasks between teams and within each team. This is done externally via Jira, and to me it reflects on a weak spot of GitHub if it wants to be “the place to manage a project” - it’s good for managing a code base but lacks the tools to manage it as a project/product.

I don't live in the US. We have groups for uni, the tech sector (in general, kind of like /r/programming in a way), ML&DL, dating, sales (alongside Facebook Marketplace). We also have groups for towns and neighborhoods as the prime way for the locals to communicate. It is de-facto reddit here

It is, and it’s even more popular than reddit in my local communities. The problem is the lack of anonymity

Definitely, haven’t paid an electric bill since the installation, even during the winter

You can essentially already do that. I live in a place basking with sun most of the year, and have 22k of panels with a 15kw inverter (max allowed before being considered commercial). My production is a wide hill with a considerable plateau, thanks to the amount of panels (as an example, produced 140kwh yesterday). It is clearly not economically viable for most regions, but for us it luckily is

Glad to see technology is finally here for it

The most surprising part is ML being an elective course in 2016. ML is mandatory in my university, but DL is elective

My mother has an Android phone, and she’s not really tech savvy. Her notifications are absolutely bombarded with garbage from various websites, and her lock screen displays ads. I’m moving her to iOS, as I’m quite sick of constantly being the IT guy.

This gets brought up every time the topic shows up but https://www.nand2tetris.org is a course that abstracts how a computer works, and is worth checking out

Conversely, I was applying to Meta and have made it to the final stage. The interview was held with the head PE in the country. Both him and all preceding interviews clearly signaled PEs are 'the ones who do both' here, and their scarcity has made them quite valuable in the branch (according to them). It is also reflected by their salary here, which is 15% higher for interns and 50% higher as a FTE.

Google and abandoning things, name a more iconic duo

Its only killer feature to me is that websites are designed and tested with a Chromium-first attitude. As a regular FF user I might stumble upon a website that’s quite buggy or straight up doesn’t work, which forces me to use Chrome for that specific website. Other than that I don’t really feel like there’s anything, and Edge is currently a better Chrome than Chrome anyway.

EDIT: and for the record, I’m still upset Microsoft didn’t choose FF and willingly increased Google’s grasp

Which retains the high barrier of entry to Linux. Linux will never be mainstream as long as itself and the community primarily embrace tech savvies and nobody else

On one hand, I definitely agree.

On the other, my issue is that motherboards are already one of the least reliable components in your PC, and introducing even more complications to them just makes the situation (and the cost of replacement) worse

From what I know, reddit is not entirely to blame on its own on this. Apple's policy only lets the first party app open certain domains, like YouTube (please correct me if I'm mistaken) and Twitter. Overall, a decent workaround is an app called Opener (link to follow) which lets you switch to specific apps from the share sheet. Apollo also has this feature for reddit links specifically.

However, I do agree that reddit's behavior beyond that is obnoxious.

Except they already do. Also, AMD announced SmartShift ("shifts power inside your laptop for the optimal performance for a given task") support for Linux a couple of days ago. They're more than usable nowadays.

Probably a popular opinion here, but any display with a higher res than 1440p (1600p if it's a 16:10 display) is a waste on a laptop. I'd rather have a 1080p one over a 4K one, personally.

No, this is primarily a case of a populist, broken system that prevents citizens from voting

Tried it, it's really nice. Thanks mate

Thanks. How's the Windows client? I mostly daily drive Windows whenever I'm not programming. I do intend on getting a separate Linux machine for NAS+torrent+Plex MS at some point, and it does seem promising

Since we're on this topic, what's your torrent client of choice HN? I plainly use BitTorrent nowadays

You can’t compare them to Google, almost everything they do is exclusive to the US. They seriously treat the rest of the world as an afterthought

A lot of countries are still interested in fossil cars because they can slap their bullshit taxes on them and the gas, so I wouldn’t expect an instant transition, as it’s going to severely impact lobby-backed revenue streams

A lot of small businesses in Europe and the Middle East don’t accept Amex, due to the transaction fees. I understand that they’re interested in maintaining a luxurious image, but it just means I drive my finances elsewhere with these businesses by using MasterCard. I hope they will increase the card’s outreach
