Realistically, either you're identifying one file interactively and you don't care about latency differences in the 10s of ms, or you're identifying in bulk (batch command line or online in response to requests), in which cas

AI is a genie that you can't really stuff back into a bottle. It's out and it's global. If the US had tighter regulations, China or someone else will take over the market. If AI is genuinely transformative for productivity, t

Evolution couldn't work quickly if there wasn't a lot of small variance from generation to generation. It's exogenous fitness testing that maintains stasis, not lack of variance. A long article for what ought not to have been

I think there's a degree of US specificity to your comment. The situation in the UK would be different.

Table row count is a small part of it, what matters is cardinality and fanout from joins after predicates have been pushed down as far as they can. (Assuming there are sane indexes.) If the database can't see that your predicates will

The best is the enemy of the good. In practice, instead of describing the error, a policy for actionable error messages all too frequently results in something along the lines of Action failed. Go to https://example.com&#x2F

Actionable error messages are a lot more work and are not always feasible. A library discovering a mismatch between a configuration setting and a value it received by API isn't in a position to make a decision on which is wrong: is it

Littering is the problem solved by charging for or banning free carrier bags, not usage of plastic bags. If your rubbish goes to landfill, don't expect a reduction in rubbish bags as a component. They're very light though. IMO it&

This is just not my experience. People don't complain and carrier bags as street rubbish, littering everything from urban trees to the countryside, just disappears . Charging is enough; bans aren't necessary, but sure, add them,

Brita filters also have ion exchange resin as well as activated charcoal. However it's not enough to remove PFAS, there was a lawsuit about this, if you do a search.

This is how Windows Remote Desktop used to work - it would forward GDI instructions to be rendered remotely. It falls apart as UIs got richer, browsers in particular: they're entirely composited in-app and not via GDI, because GDI isn&

There is, however, considerable upside in having all the same key bindings whether you're in local UI (maybe using tramp) or ssh to a remote server. Tramp has limitations and is a bit clunky so I use it rarely. Clipboard integration an

Does anyone else find Kubrick's movies weirdly bloodless? They are technically excellent but they leave me completely unmoved, they have zero purchase on my emotions. Dr Strangelove not an exception. The effect is a bit like Preacher a

This is the sweet spot for coding AI - scaffolding when building out greenfield on well-known existing frameworks, and novice-level API usage and procedures. Nothing wrong with that, we're all novices when picking up something new. I t

Well I guess if you die, then your trip took infinite time (you never arrive), so it does tend to push up your probability weighted average. But it's a push.

No - I could put a glass of Burgundy, an oaky Rioja and ripe Australian Syrah in front of you and you'd be able to trivially tell them apart, no training needed.

Ripe Australian Shiraz (14+% alcohol) has really distinct blueberry, it was a style heavily favoured by Robert Parker and really common in the early 2000s, but it's tapering off now. Syrah, the same grape, from northern Rhone is cooler

The more common scenario AIUI for spying is turning someone already in place, either because they have sympathies with your side, or because you have leverage on them - and probably a mix of both. It's a pretty cynical game.

The alternatives to London are Paris (the closest competition as a city qua city), Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Dublin, and I believe they specialize differently. When I buy EUR-denominated ETFs, they're almost invariably listed in Dublin

I didn't expect tech to significantly leave London unless it became a lot harder to hire foreigners in the UK, and as far as I know it hasn't - non-EU immigration has increased hugely since Brexit. Unlike e.g. food or manufactured
