NixOS works really well for me. I used to write these kinds of idempotent scripts too but they are usually irrelevant in NixOS where that's the default behavior.

The original complaint alleges that the training process requires copying the material into the model and thus requires consent of the copyright holder. (Copyright protects copying but notably not use, so the complaint has to say they copie

It's interesting you say that, since this turned an infra scaling problem into a worker problem for us. Previously, we would get terrible head-of-line throughput issues, so we would use an egregious number of partitions to try to allev

Do you have an example use case for this? This does seem like something unsuited to kafka, but I'm having a hard time imagining why you would structure something like this.

Check out the parallel consumer: https://github.com/confluentinc/parallel-consumer It processes unrelated keys in parallel within a partition. It has to track what offsets have been processed between the last committed

I'm not OP, but if you are a reasonably high-earning professional common on this site, you trigger a ton of stuff. I used to take about that long to do mine, although I've gotten much faster. In a normal year, I typically file for

1040-EZ was discontinued in 2018. You just fill out 1040 now and leave lines blank. If you only have W2 income and don't make too much, it is really easy. You just fill out lines 1a, 12, 25a and the IRS will figure the rest (you can ca

It's a principle of capitalism, but taken to the extreme, it's just a strawman. At this point, I think we are pretty sure that some interventions make capitalism better. This post is specifically about Industrial Policy: https:&#

You can just read and write the notebook directly with ordinary calendar/todo-list UIs and get 99% of the utility without an LLM. I'm not really seeing value in the LLM except the butler voice? It is just reading the notebook righ

Post-acquisition products can still dominate their market even if they have declining quality. E.g. they can be bundled with other offerings from the parent company. This is exactly the point of anti-trust.

It might be too late now, but I've successfully negotiated (before signing) retention deals like this to be pro-rated in the event of non-voluntary termination. It's perfectly reasonable for exactly this reason, and companies have

I don't think it's a bad idea, but currently packages aren't written with adversarial packages in mind. E.g. requests in Python should have network access, but probably not if it's called from a sandboxed package, but yo

Does this always happen or only sometimes? In Google calendar, if the event is modified through the API, there is an option to suppress change notifications, and this can prevent non-google calendars from getting invites. Also did you creat

Just to say the obvious, they are also going to sell fewer/cheaper shoes according to the demand elasticity since the consumer price is 32% higher. Despite Nike making slightly more on a per-shoe basis, they are probably going to make

I've used shoe goo to get more life out of shoes. It's marketed as an adhesive, but you can apply it to the bottom of the sole to rebuild thickness to the tread. A single tube could be used for dozens of repairs. After that for me

We definitely learned the exact same lesson. Especially if your LLM responses need to be fast and cheap, then you need short prompts and small non-reasoning models. A lot of information out there assumes you are willing to wait 30 seconds f

This is a good write-up of the issue. To see where this craziness could have led, see the C++ overload resolution logic, which isn't the exact same problem but does smell the same: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp

If you can model your mutation as a database transaction, then that's probably the best. In the past, we've wanted these kinds of solutions when performing actions that weren't in a transactional database. E.g. third party AP

You can fix this scenario by incrementing the next_token when you commit the critical section instead of when you enter (if that's possible for your domain). This essentially makes it an optimistic lock instead of a pessimistic lock. T

I'd like to see unions negotiate better equity deals. For pre-IPO companies, it's typical that the equity is worth nothing, and employees can actually lose money on their equity by buying it during early exercise or when they leav

You would probably be decent at frontend if you did it at least 20% of the time. Obviously you can't be an expert at everything, but there is enormous value in being able to work on most things end to end instead of having to handoff e

The server in http is limited in its ability to initiate connection closures. Remember that when you close a connection in TCP, that sends a FIN packet, and the other end of the connection doesn't know that that's happened yet and

Most http frameworks don't do this right. They typically wait until all known in-flight requests complete and then exit. That's usually too fast for a load balancer that's still sending new requests. Instead you should just w

I believe the developers are Chinese, so it might just be awkward English from a non native speaker.
