Rhetoric aside. What was the actual record of violence when Hitler published „My Struggle“ in 1925, laying out his ideas of solving the „Jewish question“? Why should one believe the evil of it lays out its plans way in advance?

I made you spend a quadratic amount of time on your reply than I did, so maybe you have mistakenly chosen the silly path of QF yourself.

The problem with the article is that they did not make the point you are conveying here. They say: 1. QF cares only about direct utility 2. $saving a life brings $100,000 of INdirect utility for society and/or the person who's lif

But OP did not follow his own terms: he refuses to take the direct utility of giving your money to charity into account and instead calculates some arbitrary utility of the saved lives, which is indirect utility.

Maybe. It would help if the author were consistently distinguishing between his own assumptions and those he's examining, e.g.: > that’s not the kind of utility we’re trying to maximize Who is "we"? I read it as "th

I don't hold any cards in the game - if QF is bollocks, so be it, I couldn't care less. The reasons why I've commented are: 1) the article does a really bad job at using words that matter to me, like "utility". If a

Sorry to say, but your observation is wrong. They do make explicit statements about the utility of enjoying the arts: > They each expect to experience €6,000,000 worth of individual utility from enjoying the additional €9,000,000 of a

I've never heard of the specific mechanism the article talks about, but it is so full of flaws that I do not consider it a good source of thought about the topic. Just the most obvious example where the author didn't put much effo

fwiw, I think the car barriers never had the purpose to stop cars, but to show people that at least on some level someone cares about their perceived safety.

Does cline expose this retrieval mechanism to the user? If yes, could I randomly chose points in my codebase, ask cline to do its “intelligent walk” and store the results in a graph database for graph-RAG?

May I ask why you chose to write and deploy a whole service in go over using pgsql-http to make synchronous http requests directly from Postgres to meilisearch? This would also remove the need of using listen/notify.
