I had wondered whether "sympathy strikes" would have some effect here about a month ago[1]. Looks like it did. Though I wouldn't have guessed this pretty genius angle of blocking the only contractual way to get number plate

It's glob and/or bsd_glob from the underlying C stdlib. Another interesting example of things the stdlib glob can do: #!/usr/bin/perl # perl since it's an easy way to use an arbitrary function from stdli

The README.md example just has it in memory. Looking at the source, the Storage class uses a plain file and python's pickle module: https://github.com/kagisearch/vectordb/blob/main/vectordb/st.

I'm not sure HN points mean much other than something like frequency of visits and participation.

If not "the most" data, they may have the most access to data that's exclusively available to them.

> That's why failing fast and not retry is the best strategy for most if not all applications. I think it's more complex than this. You also have to lump timeouts, caching and failure behavior into the conversation. And there

I think they've fixed it now, but it does seem to recognize popular trick questions, like "what weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?". It would answer with the typical explanation about density not mattering, e

That disclaimer is only there with GPT4-turbo. I assume I could experiment for a while and find something similar that trips it up fully.

I've seen it gets tripped up if you mix something common with something uncommon. ChatGPT chokes on, for example: "Two trains on separate tracks, 30 miles from each other are approaching each other, each at a speed of 10 mph. H

The most recent journalists killed in Lebanon was an aerial strike that looks very targeted.[1] Much like a prior incident from October 13th.[2] There was also a specific aerial bombing of a journalist's two story home that looks very

Ah, thank you for that. I feel a bit dumb now, but that would have been a good inline explanation.

More collateral damage to journalists than the sum total of what happened across an entire year across the entire globe. That doesn't raise an eyebrow?

I believe it's quoting a survey where you had to pick from "frameworks". Meaning "use the native tools" wasn't a choice on the list. Choices were things like Flutter, React Native, Cordova, Ionic, Xamarin, etc

Sure. Also the massive Experian leak. But new sources lower the bar for getting the data. Separately, I think the general public now has really high "cyber incident fatigue". It happens so often that nobody cares anymore.

If true, it does sound terrible. Though, I would focus not so much on one named person. The culture is allowing it, leaders above and around her, whatever feedback systems Google has, and so on.

Even the IDF isn't trying to say anything like that. They say it was "accidental". Though there's lots of convincing analysis it was very deliberate. Where the shooter would have been shooting right at 2 people, nobody

Out of the box php also scaled pretty damn far for them before they had to do anything significant. Hundreds of millions of users as early as 2009, which seems to be before the original Hiphop existed.

Yes, it's a somewhat different diplomacy issue. Surely, though, a citizen of your country being killed by an allied country's military, that you give billions of dollars to every year, is...an issue of some magnitude?

At this point, I think there's quite a lot of "breach fatigue" now where the general public doesn't care about these stories. It's just "oh, I guess I get another year of free identity theft services".
