Absolutely, I don't mean to imply that Canada is blameless, just that my point of view is not a projection of exclusively US-centric values.

Working conditions in the US have improved dramatically over the last century because politicians and leaders took action to improve them. Your position seems to be that it doesn’t matter what leaders and politicians say if they don’t belie

What they’re thinking internally isn’t the issue. The statements send a signal to the rest of the organization and impact what gets prioritized. In this case, the signal is “life of workers doesn’t matter”.

And then once it was coherent and implementable, he took venture funding to scale a business around it. I'm not sure I see your point.

They do, but with HTTP/3 there’s also WebTransport, which is even better because it means we will be able to avoid head-of-line blocking.

Oof, in the first sentence, too, that's embarrassing. Fixed, thanks!

That's a good point, but the server can still enforce an ordering of encrypted messages it can't read. You just don't get the benefit of the server being able to detect invariant violations in this case; all change operations

The Independent article is a but blogspammy (little by way of original reporting, and more than half the page is ads). This CBC article is one of its sources and I found it more informative: https://www.cbc.ca/news/poli

I think that’s probably their intent, and that OpenAI wouldn’t sue you for it, but it doesn’t pass the “bought by Oracle” test: if Oracle bought OpenAI, then they might sue you for it.

Are you talking about the New York Post article? I don’t see anything about a New York Times article in the thread.

I would, yes. In fact, the Trump White House did just that, it’s right there in the thread. Without knowing what the tweets they had removed were, I don’t see evidence of wrongdoing. There are legitimate reasons to have tweets taken down: m

Joe Biden wasn’t “the government” yet, look at the date. I wish we knew what these tweets actually were. If it was suppressing a news story, that’s bad. If it’s asking for death threats to be removed, that’s not bad. (Matt himself acknowled

A smoking gun for twitter maybe, but GP is talking about writing off “the left” because of this.

Is there a smoking gun here that points the blame to any officials representing the party, as opposed to bad decisions made by twitter employees on their own bias? I find the tweetstorm format to be not particularly coherent, and I haven’t

Matt Levine is an opinion columnist, his job is to give commentary rather than to break news. Bloomberg overall has been pro-crypto (they have a crypto publication), but Levine's tone has always struck me as “finds it interesting but p

Our Aper ( https://aper.dev ) implements a number of similar concepts (state machine replication with optimistic local transitions + rollback). I 100% agree that it’s an easier model to reason about. Your approach with cursors is

Congrats on the launch! This sounds pretty cool. Did you have to get into the weeds of the wire protocols that Postgres/Mysql use? What was that like?

That would be an interesting thing to test! My first instinct is that the comparison operation (when denominators differ) would be more expensive. In general some approaches should be better than others depending on how inserts are distribu

This stuff is fun to play with. I implemented a Rust version of fractional indexing based on another of Evan’s blog posts. https://docs.rs/fractional_index/latest/fractional_index/
