That's not entirely fair. The AWS t family aren't dedicated CPUs. They're burstable, there is a token system that decides if you get to use them to full capacity and for how long: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/A

Those are all valid points, of course, and you can navigate to excel.office.com if you don't trust the OP (although it will also immediately redirect you to an auth window) The .new TLD is pretty nifty. sheets.new gets you the same thi

Yes, this would impose costs on Google and decrease their conversion rate of new advertisers. I agree they wouldn't want to voluntarily do it--but I was responding to the perceived impossibility of it. Another option: deal with it by f

I think the argument is that if: > All this time, Google falsely told the United States that Google had “put a legal hold in place” that “suspends auto-deletion.” ...then you better not be auto-deleting things for the next 3 years. The l

I get that it's a hard problem. I don't think this is about "reviewing all search results". This is about reviewing the people who are paying you money to run ads. In this case, there were likely plenty of signals of fra

The 30M figure likely includes a lot of students having ChatGPT do their homework for them. :) I've used ChatGPT for programming aid. I've started writing some Python packages. I haven't written Python in a long time, it does

That link doesn't seem to support your claim that Carter wants to erase Israel. The link describes what a bunch of white supremacists think about the book. Some (many?) of them likely haven't read it, and are reacting to the title

Google's stance on machine translated pages has been that they're spam unless a human is in the loop and has curated/reviewed the translation. Google Cloud's translation API also has a TOS that requires you to tag the ou

Agreed! The 1970s sci-fi novel The Adolescence of P-1 features a sentient computer program that spreads via a virus. P-1 infects mainframes around the world, but takes steps to hide its presence. Anyway, it ends with P-1 blowing up several

You can run migrations from another process. Migrations are just writes, and SQLite supports writes from multiple processes. A single transaction that does a very large write will likely impact the reader -- the reader will be blocked while

IMO, the config you need is: 1) When you open the database: pragma journal_mode = wal; pragma synchronous = normal; 2) When you want to do a transaction that does writes, use `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`, not `BEGIN`. 3) Don't have l

Right, it's not going to exhaust the search space of inputs. That would be computationally infeasible for some kinds of inputs. It also doesn't exhaust the set of all possible code execution branches, for example, like an intellig

There is a stage past [flagged] where a post can also be [dead]. You only see dead posts if you have showdead=yes in your settings. So you may have seen their comment before it was killed, or you may have showdead=yes in your settings.

Maybe I'm using SQLite wrong, but I have a website scraper. It's written in python and so uses processes for concurrency to avoid GIL issues. On my laptop, 16 processes accessing the same SQLite db file can do something like 5,000
