Disagree. The fight with ISIS had a strong cyber dimension, with blockchain being a major funding source for them.

Cellphone tracking/hacking was also key, and multiplayer games were recruiting arenas.

Before that cyber played a key role in other conflicts, especially "cold" ones (re: Stuxnet).

It sometimes feels like London is a theme-park designed to separate people from their money and entertain the Plebs workforce.

This (and the giant Ferris wheel) certainly don't help.

I think RAG approach with Vector DB is more likely. Just like when you add a file to your prompt / custom GPTs.

Adding the entire file (or memory in this case) would take up too much of the context. So just query the DB and if there's a match add it to the prompt after the conversation started.

o rly? what happens if they fails? can you control the backoff period? can you schedule another job in the event it fails? what if it fails before starting the function, so your in-code error handling isn't triggered? is there a "dead-letter" queue? will the next scheduled job run if the previous run failed? should it? can you define if it should or not? can you view history of executed jobs? what if your logging function that saves that history fails? can anyone add jobs or just you/superadmin? should they? and more and more.

And these are just ones I personally ran into using GCP schedulers, pub/sub and functions.

See, what you're doing is re-inventing the wheel. No matter how cool your tool is - there's always work in the edge cases beyond just running the job.

It's the same fucking thing. You just painted each track different color and thickness.

So people don't merge branches to main branch, but tag releases from it. ok. But they still need to merge their changes to main first, right?

Same fucking thing, wrapped in execucrap.

I guess if you can't make something complicated or push the limits, you just call it "art" or "thought provoker" and spend lots of words talking about an egg timer.

No one remembers the GuruPlug, or better yet - the GuruPlug Server Plus, When RPi 1 just came out this little gadget ran x86 Linux (!) and had hdmi out that could handle 1080p video, a feat that only RPi 4 can repeat.

If you can turn the problem into a game you've already solved it.. don't see the value here (except saving compute time by using humans for pattern recognition instead of computers).

Sounds like these devs did more work than the rest of ya'll combined. When they left you couldn't match their skills and progress (perhaps if you tried to contribute instead of slacking off?)

In my opinion and experience, development is done by individuals, who are slowed down by the rest.

Honestly they could do without you. Perhaps if they gave those two your salary theid stay.
