You can't read English like if it was a declarative logical language. It is obviously an hyperbole to say "everyone". It means "a lot of people". So why they didn't say "a lot of people"? Language use

The 500 - 5000 figure, which is correct, is why most folks should instead self publish via KDP. 70% royalties mean you can get 10-50k easily with an average book. If the book is a success, you can switch career to a full time author if you

The difference between Win32 and Linux is that the latter didn't realize an operating system is more than a kernel and a number of libraries and systems glued together, but is, indeed, a stable ABI (even for kernel modules -- so old dr

LoRa diverges too strongly when applied in the real world. There are quirks in the chip (Semtech in the latest revision did a few strange things), and in the way chirp modulation works (the one used by LoRa), that makes it a lot better to t

I wanted to fix this with my FreakWAN but I was never able to find a user base willing to validate the ideas of the routing I implemented. All the code is open source and easy to modify. Write me if you are willing to experiment :)

For a second I'll not consider the fact that I believe your argument is conceptually wrong. Let's focus only on the cultural part: "net positive by about 100% of people", this is deeply US-centric. For most other people,

No, because it's not a matter of who is correct or not, in the void of the space. It's a matter of facts, and it is correct who have a position that is grounded on facts (even if such position is different from a different groun

You would expect that voices that have so much weight would be able to evaluate a new and clearly very promising technology with better balance. For instance, Linus Torvalds is positive about AI, while he recognizes that industrially there

C has no problems splitting programs in N files, to be honest. The reason FB (and myself, for what it is worth) often write single file large programs (Redis was split after N years of being a single file) is because with enough programming

If this had been available in 2010, Redis scripting would have been JavaScript and not Lua. Lua was chosen based on the implementation requirements, not on the language ones... (small, fast, ANSI-C). I appreciate certain ideas in Lua, and p

What happened recently is that all the serious AI researches that were in the stochastic parrot side changed point of view but, incredibly, people without a deep understanding on such matters, previously exposed to such arguments, are laggi

I'm not involved in business decisions and while I'm very AI positive I believe Redis as a company should focus on Redis fundamentals: so my piece has zero alignment on what I hope for the company.

This means your difficulty is not programming per se , but that you are working on a very suboptimal industry / company / system. With all due respect, you use programming at work, but true programming is the act of creating a

I hope the best for Zig, Loris. But even if Zig will survive and prosper (I hope for both), still I believe this is not a sounding decision and not the right attitude. I hope I'm wrong, but I wanted to share with you my reasoning. Here

Wow. I think that's a serious mistake. Maybe GitHub is no longer so great and snappy but nowhere to justify moving something that needs: 1. Money, 2. Exposition, to something obscure just because it's a bit better. It's Git w

Thanks, yep I know ControlXYZ, it's cool but far from practical, I have the feeling their contribution would be a lot more impactful if working with OrcaSlicer.

It was an attempt at using less plastic, in vase mode there is this absurd thing that the first few solid layers are accountable often from 30% or more of the whole object weight! However, yes, it would be more robust that way. I have a lon

Thank you for your comment! The model can be also found on Printables. I have both an MK4 and a Bambulab A1 :D Thanks.

The problem is how they are fine tuned with human feedbacks that are not opinionated, so they produce some "average taste" that is very recognizable. Early models didn't have this issue, it's a paradox... Lower quality &

Related: Redis has a keyspace notification doing something similar that is not very well known, but when it is needed, it is really needed. We are thinking of extending this mechanism in new ways. Similarly I have seen setups where the noti

Awesome. You'll see the little stars rotating only in the area they reach your fovea, the most sensible part of the retina. All the rest will not be able to perceive any motion.

META managed to spend a lot of money into AI to achieve inferior results. Something must change for sure, and you don't want an LLM skeptic at home, in my opinion, especially since the problem is not what LeCun is saying right now (LLM

Redis does not flush pages to disk. When the RDB / AOF are generated by the saving child, it is a point-in-time operation not bound to the speed data is added in the parent.

Redis stores the magnitude of the vector and stores the vector in normalized form, so indeed we just do dot product :) But yet we can reconstruct the vector back. I totally forgot to mention this in the blog post!

The "far" here means "with vectors having a very low cosine similarity / very high distance". So in vector use cases where you want near vectors matching a given set of filters, far vectors matching a set of filte
