You don't need to store the diffs for the coordinates that are not in the bloom filter. If the number of coordinates that changed is small, the size of the bloom filter will be small, and this is a significant optimization.

I think there's a bunch of different things going on in the US healthcare system. I think for sure part of it is inefficiency. But I don't really buy the argument that healthcare quality is the same elsewhere. Like, do you really

Yeah, I find it very strange that he's a well known thought leader even though he hasn't had a long tenure anywhere. To me, software is easy in the short term and hard in long term.

This only reinforces my point, which is that most of the states don't have any preexisting status and were created by the federal government.

The main reason is that the government isn't funding it, like in other countries. I do agree the healthcare system in the US should be reformed. But the cost isn't going to go all away - it's just going to be shifted to highe

> Alberta was created within Canada by subdividing what was then the Northwest Territories, already part of Canada. The same is true of the majority of the US states. The original 13 colonies and Texas and Florida (and maybe a few more?)

Or is it possible the LLM did try to run `DELETE FROM hackernews.full`, was denied, and then is prompted to return the response you saw?

The LLM likely does not have write access to the database, so even if wanted to run that query it couldn't.

That sounds reasonable, though I’ve read online that Mexico generally refuses to take them back.

What process would you design for handling people who are denied entry at a land port of entry?

The German person you link to was attempting to enter the US to work as a tattoo artist which is not allowed under tourist visa programs. I actually think the law should be more flexible and this kind of casual work should be allowed. Howev

nit: USBP (US Border Patrol) is not at the ports of entry. Border Patrol is for the land border _between_ ports of entry. CBP (customs and border protection) is the organization that does immigration control at the ports of entry.

They've already started doing this in NYC - the new 10th ave bike lane is double the width of normal bike lanes.

Perks have gotten better in some dimensions - for example, parental leave is much more generous than it was even 5 years ago. And that’s probably a more important perk than free backpacks tbh.

Tens of thousands of Americas are killed every year in car crashes. The existence of a case or some cases where a self-driving car caused injury has zero value. What matters is the rate of cases per mile driven.

The idea that Murdoch and Musk are not really American and are instead foreigners is a disgusting anti-immigrant sentiment.

> It's possible that this is a compiler bug. It's also possible that there's some fringe case where the reference actually can escape via that method call, and the compiler doesn't have enough context to rule it out.

In the strictly technical sense I agree, however in the Rust community when people say "the niche optimization" they usually are referring only to the simplest case. For example in the book Rust For Rustaceans (written by a pretty

Really interesting technique. I guess one of the (theoretical?) drawbacks is the memory usage is not ideal? In a traditional bytecode compiler the result of compilation is a very-cache-friendly binary array, whereas here it looks like a vec
