The malice would be in not prioritizing the provenance tool at the start as a requirement of the rest of the product. Ethics would tell you that if you can't make the product in an ethical way, then you probably shouldn't make it.

It feels convenient to not spend time on engineering around tooling that could be used to answer a question like “did you violate copyright by training on X?”

In China, CEOs go to prison or are executed. Not all the time, but enough. In the US, they are given a golden parachute and make more money at their next posting. There is mostly only failing upwards.

If you watch his latest interviews you can see him talking about how he finds it useful for simple cases like in the Bloomberg terminal for generating code for queries, but it still has fundamental limitations for doing anything autonomousl

I pretty much only use jj now, and it was really good even just with the CLI. But adding jjui changed the story entirely. I now rarely use jj without just booting up jjui first. It will be good to see what jj will look like with more funded

I canceled my Claude subscription, though I did get some utility out of it, because of how much steering was required to use it on complex projects. A big reason being that anyone who is using Fable seriously will run out of usage limits ve

This isn't a serious analysis of the actual thesis or any of the predictions in any meaningful way. I learned almost nothing from this shallow wall of text. It seems overly focused on "predictions" instead of the ideas behind

My first thought: setting up a self replicating duckdb wrapper over ssh so that I can execute queries on any computer. Can’t wait to play with this!

You are a bad programmer if you think silently doing the wrong thing is not a bug. The right thing to do with unexpected input as the setTimeout library author is to raise an exception.

I had this exact idea and I've described it to colleagues before. Fun to see parallel evolution. It feels like a simple concept that should already exist, so I'm surprised it's not more commonly attempted. But you're mis

LLMs make mediocre engineers into slightly less mediocre engineers, and non-engineers into below mediocre engineers. They do nothing above the median. I've tried dozens of times to use them productively. Outside of very very short isol

Love the expanded C API support! Also those performance improvements are massive! Pushing through filters and the streaming optimization for fetchone() is great! This makes it more viable to use duckdb in smaller queries from python. I&#x2

Make a cap on the value of house. What do people need $100 million stupid ugly houses for anyway. None of these billionaires have good taste anyway.

Adding a way to query the path at the current node would let you skip out on doing stuff like keeping track of `in_section`. I wonder if the `enter|exit ...` syntax might be too limiting but for a lot of stuff it seems nice and easy to reas

Make an exemption for a primary residence. Everything else can go. Stop letting people hoard wealth like dragons.

I get nervous reading when people write exceptions and name "good" CEOs or "good" celebrities. Lots of skeletons come out later. I don't like to put people on a pedestal, especially those we don't know intimate

It's pretty cool that I can read "anablibg" and know that means "enabling." The brain is pretty neat. I wonder if LLMs would get it too. They probably would.

As someone who stopped getting involved in blockchain "tech" 12 years ago because of the prevalence of scams and bad actors and lack of interesting tech beyond the merkle tree, what's great about it? FWIW I am genuinely askin

I wrote a similar snapshot system for our deterministic trading engine. It's hard to imagine a system that doesn't do that unless you actually enforce every single event in your log to be reversible/non-destructive/non-a

I only realized after leaving the US how insanely slow transfers are there. In Hong Kong, transfers are basically instant. In Japan they often finish within 10 minutes. HSBC HK's daily transfer limit (not FPS) for me is about 3m HKD ~

I want to apologize. I just lashed out from my past bad experience. You don't really deserve it, and you're right, it could just open up a discussion about writing an alternative for egui. Sorry about that.

by ashkankiani 2y ago
How is "Now one for egui, please" not a request? Are you suggesting that was just a wish you're putting out into the universe hoping someone fulfills it? "please" is a word you use as a request, typically. Entitleme

If the output of your program is an copy of minio then it is also covered by AGPL is what that means. I think it's just covering the case where you are redistributing minio in a way such as decompressing and producing the output. I sti

People who end comments/messages with ";)" or the like always seem so condescending.
