So uh do we still get to keep our Free A1 VPS with 4 OCPU, 24GB RAM and 200GB Storage...?? If Oracle starts charging the dozens (tens of thousands?) of us that signed up for Pay-as-you-go just to be able to provision a VM, I'm deleting

Yes but the problem isn't just more living space, but more affordable living space. Sure we have developers in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, etc plopping down houses >$300-500k, but can the average person afford them? Yes I agree buildi

You're being a bit reductive lol. Also the parent comment doesn't seem to realize that a subsea cable would enable better connectivity for millions of people. 1. Herd immunity and clean air from that Wikipedia link fall under publ

This study is just awful. Can we stop funding epidemiological studies with little to no reproducibility? At least use more frequent objective sleep measurements, and account for confounding variables. - They openly acknowledge they "ca

Nobody is a a bit of an exaggeration. Anyone who has been following finance noticed many major US news outlets covering when the job numbers dropped [0]. Yes it was really only covered for a day because the election hype is a bigger story.

I've been using LLMs to draw diagrams in PlantUML for over a year now. I assume other people have been doing the same with GraphViz because PlantUML uses GraphViz as a library.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. If the hotel charged less for pods compared to standard rooms, I'm sure many people would pay "premium."

As a recent example, when you have "the great resignation" of 2021 turn into (in my view) "the great hiring" of 2021 followed by the Silicon Valley Bank collapse of 2023, it's obvious that hiring managers just follo

Interesting connection, but Datomic's EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) model solves a different problem than Graham's universal relation. In the "Universal relation problem," we're fighting with consistency across arbit

Prolog's resolution engine is more about logical inference - it will happily backtrack through different paths to find solutions. What Graham proved specifically was about relational databases: if you try to maintain consistent joins a

In one of my databases class, we had to use Perl (cursed language) and B-trees to implement a database from scratch. We tried building a "universal relation" system where any table could join with any other table, which Graham&#x2

I get your main point. My main point is that unsaturated fats, specifically poly-unsaturated fats, are definitely not better than saturated fats and we shouldn't be telling people to eat more nuts. The evidence linking saturated fat to

The health effects of nuts are fairly overstated especially since many of them are high in PUFAs.

Surveillance capitalism continues to crush people's privacy, and I don't think the incentive to collect personal data will ever go away. Seriously someone needs to give the big middle finger to Samsung and LG because I want my dum

People are allowed to be outraged that Taylor Swift generates a larger carbon footprint than the average person... This is a pretty solipsistic point of view that acknowledges that we do indeed live in a society. Doesn't mean we can&#x

Unfortunately we still need oral antibiotics for things like Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. As tick-borne illnesses go up with longer summer seasons, we'll probably have to prescribe more antibiotics. Oh well

Maybe PFAS aren't as "bad" as lead in that the effects of lead are more noticeable in the short-term, but the widespread clinical health effects of PFAS across the entire human population is "bad." Bad is not really

Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) are commonly used as fungicides and disinfectants in hospitals, and I fear for the health-care workers that have to touch them all day. Of course, we should use disinfectants in hospitals, but the long-

Shame the smartwatch ecosystem doesn't have more stuff like this. Was hoping Bangle.js would take off, but it seems like most people would rather settle for Apple watches.

It looks like this is a quantization method to flatten matrices for vector addition. Can anyone explain how this could allow LLMs to reach current benchmarks without losing performance?

@erik_seaberg the lack of success in finding a universal grammar is a logical leap. The failure to find something does not necessarily mean it doesn't exist. Language is powerful for expressing abstract ideas without explicitly saying

AutoKey definitely has more features than this, but I think this looks easier to automate with pipes after a cursory look at the repo.
