We're all very lucky that CitizenLab exists as they are often the first discovery point of numerous similar exploits. They proactively scan the phones of internationally sensitive people and publish their findings. I'm not aware

I'm going to be a bit of a naysayer here and comment that while I fully appreciate and endorse TypeScript... there are certainly situations where Javascript would be preferred. EG: Deno also dropped TypeScript internally. What they&#

Canada actually has a national crown corporation that exists solely to improve housing affordability https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca . They funded or built significant housing supply for decades up until the 1990s when their fundin

Every time I hear the Canadian government responding to this housing crisis... the only thing they do is pass policies that enable people to buy even "more" expensive houses. For example, their big move last year was to let people

Interestingly, instead of resolving this important problem... the legislation they're passing is ostensibly credits to allow people to spend even MORE on housing.

Tailwind simplifies part of that problem since you don't need to map to the myriad of custom class names in use, rather you solely need to preprocess off the tailwind config. Companies like Bifrost (YC W22) are working on this problem

In my experience, whenever volunteer mod positions open, there is a near infinite supply of people that want those roles. For whatever reasons, people want it and those that have it typically seek to hold onto it. It's borderline inex

They are making a v2! You can follow progress and add suggestions on their subreddit. I’m hoping that the apple headset is a target device for them as I think it would be an excellent pairing.

Thrill of the Fight has the highest average calorie burn in VR right now.

Some games give me that experience: 1. Thrill of the Fight. Boxing standing up throwing fists and blocking with precision just doesn’t exist with controllers. 2. Blaston believe it or not. I really enjoyed hiding behind barriers dodging

This movie is scoring well with 98% on rotten tomatoes and 7.9 on imdb. I loved it and while it's almost entirely a fictional work (in particular, none of the characters are even remotely similar to the people that led RIM)... it real

Canada already has a national electronic system called Interac. It was established in 1984 and has a somewhat complicated fee schedule that generally maxes out around 35 cents per transaction. https://www.interac.ca/en&#x2F

While I generally agree with your post, I would like to add that there is a plethora of tasks humans currently do that we have struggled to write acceptable algorithms for for a long time. This has blocked software development from further

There is certainly a wide variety of problems today for which pgvector is unsuitable due to performance limitations... but fear not! This is an area that is getting significant focus right now. A marqo.ai dev is currently working on adding

Postgres has pgvector. It’s awesome.

I was using pinecone before installing pgvector in Postgres. Pinecone works and all but having the vectors in Postgres resulted in an explosion of use for us. Full relational queries with where clauses and order by etc AND vector embeddin

You're absolutely right that there were multiple benefits and also that, while it was depicted as revenue neutral, the GST did not have the same surface area as the Manufacturer's Tax. There was also a significant lag in the price

Canada used to have a Manufacturer's Tax that was hidden to consumers in the price of goods they purchased. A Prime Minister came along with a Finance Minister who strongly believed that Canadians should see where their money was going

I’ve increasingly been using pgvector. It’s an excellent workflow when you can just include similarity search as another where clause in your sql query.

From the comments that Musk has made over the last few months, this appears to be as intended. He doesn't seem to view the API as a benefit to the company nor a fit for his plans on where he wants to go with it.

Copilot has an option (maybe beta users only) to see alternative generations for a prompt. It's really handy because some generations are one-liners while others are entire functions. Perhaps this is infeasible with the current cost p
