Ohhh, I get what you mean now, thank you! I understand (and mildly disagree). :) Yeah, C++ is a living language, I can respectfully see that bothering some people. I viewed c++98->c++11 as essentially a new language with c++14 and c++

Not the way you expect... see: luminiferous aether. :)

It triggered my "crackpot warning light", but maybe it's just poor translation. Unfortunately, not on sci-hub (yet).

I'll bite. Immediately understand how that could work? I don't see it -- what's the connection? Earthquakes happen when stress on a tectonic plate border exceeds (I think?) the static friction that was holding it in place.

Curious about how it scales. Plenty of solutions look good with small amounts of data, but completely fall apart past a point. Would be interesting to see the latency numbers for 1M, 10M...

My $0.02 is "yes, JSON everywhere". Specifically, one object per line, newline delimited, sorted keys, compressed with zstd or gzip.

P1 Gen3 w/ 4k OLED, best laptop I've had in my life. It gets a bit noisy and hot though. Liked it so much I bought a 2nd as hot spare. Everything works with Debian stable. Do I wish it was AMD based? Yes. 8C16T + 64GB is st

Awesome. I remember this from the early internet. I think from everything2. An older code, but it checks out.

I also liked "Never Split the Difference", I rarely read and enjoy books in that category. Related, I got a lot out of "Blue Ocean Strategy", though that was more than a decade ago.

Woo! Diaspora! The opening of that book is such a well put and apt description of... that, I've forced it on plenty of my friends. Schild's Ladder also fantastic (yet similar.. like 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt? Still fun, but kind

I think you might be on to something, in thinking about it in terms of the platform from the perspective of the end user, and what they build on it. I humbly posit that you might be better off, at least from a communications/marketing

"This is how you lose the time war". It's by two authors. Light read. I bought it because it was inexpensive and I the title was a "me-shaped" hook. :) I chuckled after a few pages, after about 1/3rd I couldn

Based on what I know of the rules (which is out of date by roughly 10 years), no, OP did not follow them.

I also appreciated 0bin. Internet progress seems to resoundingly be going backwards. Remember when pastebin used to be super active? Hell, remember when google had informative search results?

I get your larger point, but the errors and phrasing are a bit off putting. Vector similarity alone _IS_ enough for vector search. That's literally what "search" means in this context! Finding another vector within an epsi

I eagerly await your numbers! Maybe I'll post some of my own if I can get far enough ahead at work. I was thinking it's time to upgrade from 1GigE anyway, 10GigE is cheap and at work we're ripping that out in favor of 25 and

It's so, so, SO, unnecessarily complicated while providing me no new features (like a faster boot). LILO worked. Even with LVM. As the boot loader, of course it exists outside of the kernel, initrd, my rootfs. That code would run,

As an unashamed fanboy of MOND since the early 2000s, I'm very pleased to see any sort of active discourse on the subject. Over the last 20 years it appears to have moved slightly from "complete tinfoil hat" to "likely w
