I did a similar thing but with backend-heavy code, and I agree with this assessment: > In particular, I asked ChatGPT to write a function by knowing precisely how I would have implemented it. This is crucial since without knowing the exp

Speaking of keyboard shortcuts, I miss BSD's Ctrl-T and SIGINFO. It often helped to see if a process was hung.

Oh, that's easy: "founder mode" means the founder is hyperfocused (or in the oldspeak, obsessed) on his work (with his company) and optimizes (micromanages) everything. We know that already. Perfection demands micromanagement

Does it support multiple brokers within the same projects? As in can I use both Kafka and RabbitMQ with it?

It's curious to see how times have changed. Soft-updates are indeed a very clever solution to the problem of file system consistency in the face of possible failures like OS crashes or power outages. While journaling "simply"

Doesn't plain old Duplicity ( https://duplicity.us/ ) do that already? (except for de-duplication)

Yeah, but... - Row-level anything introduces write alignment and fsync alignment problems; pages are easier to align than arbitrary-sized rows - PostgreSQL is very conservative (maybe extremely) conservative about data safety (mostly achiev

Does the generational reference approach do something similar to MVCC in databases (e.g. PostgreSQL)?

Neat but... Someone will make a crummier version of this in a language which doesn't feature parts looking like Unicode white noise and the original authors will be frustrated why the crummier vetsion took off and their project didn&#x

Yes, it's interesting. This has been known and ocassionally touted for AGES. I've attempted to start a couple of such projects and have been following the progress of other projects with similar ideas. There has been near ZERO int

This is a beautiful example of the biggest current problem with DAOs and all (and I do mean ALL) crypto projects which aim to interface with the real world (i.e. all projects not doing with purely abstract stuff like DeFi-like tokens, and c

Yeah, it sucks and the teams has acquired the reputation of sellouts, but in practical terms, does it really matter? It looks like there's a new team with equally good or better models announced on HN every few days. OpenAI looks like

Isn't the term "epigenetic" about non-DNA information, like in mitochondria etc, i.e. not something recoverable by just scanning DNA more precisely? If so, it doesn't seem reversable?

It depends mostly on the year of birth of the beholder. I imagine in a couple of decades that "built-in features" of a programming environment will include Bayesian inference, GPT-like frameworks and graph databases, just as now P

Does anyone know why filtering is mandatory? It seems like operations with the format would be a bit faster if the pre-compression data would just be a framebuffer dump, instead of prefixing each row with a 1-byte "filter ID", pos
