Why do you think this implies they are building a search service rather than just scraping your site for more training data?

Couldn't the zero value be nil? I get that some types like int are not nil-able, but the language allows you to assign both nil and int to a value of type any (interface{}), so I wonder why it couldn't work the same for sum types.

Enums and sum types seem to be related. In the code you wrote, you could alternatively express the Hot and Cold types as enum values. I would say that enums are a subset of sum types but I don't know if that's quite right. I guess

What's the difference between this recipe and `impbcopy image.png`? Is it just for the pixelated effect?

Your comment seems to presume that AI will not get any better than it is now. Imagine an AI that understands how to create deep, impactful music better than humans do, because it understands how music works at a biochemical level. Imagine i

Yeah, I'm very confused by this. Why is the example also showing a hard-coded 2023 in the component usage? Shouldn't the component be responsible for rendering that?

sqlite3, but I think bulk inserts would improve perf for other DBs too.

TLDR to get better performance, use bulk inserts instead of inserting one row per query. And (unrelated to DB perf) don't use the spread operator in JS for passing function args (the author says not to use the spread operator at all bu

Have you seen protobuf.js? I've dug quite deep into its generated code and have not seen any runtime magic. It's just directly working with the protobuf wire format and transferring the data to/from fields with very explicit

Stores don't have the space for that currently. Though it may be possible to redesign them in such a way that they do.

Can confirm, I broke the robot once when I accidentally had the sign flipped on the PID error term.

find is pretty slow compared to fd. It also spends a lot of time searching through directories like .git or node_modules which you typically want to exclude.

Handling "end of data" isn't really something that any serialization format needs to specify, so I don't think this needs to be called out for JSONL specifically. e.g. in JS if you're using a ReadableStream you can

HN has some really non-obvious UX, between this and the mysterious green usernames I still don't understand. And the fact that only some users can downvote. Or the weird logic behind which words cannot appear in titles.

Am I missing something? This doesn't sound like an attack at all. I'm interpreting it as just "don't host ffmpeg yourself and try to write distributed encoding workloads etc., just use our hosted solution instead which h

It looks like the one-liner function comes from their npm library... which requires a build step? At that point you could just use an SVG charting library. Good charting libraries will have code snippets readily available for line charts th

Makes you wonder what comes after AI. What's the "higher order" after AI that exists today or that will exist in 10 years? I'd guess we will never understand that level of intelligence, unless AI augments our brains some

The article is mostly talking about things like Helm charts for kubernetes, which aren't possible to define as env vars.

This article made me think it'd be nice to generate k8s JSON using TypeScript. Just a node script that runs console.log(JSON.stringify(config)), and you pipe that to a yaml file in your deploy script. The syntax seems more sane and has

I love the simplicity, but wiping the cache is a no-go for most serious apps.

I'm both a casual TV viewer and someone with a short attention span. My experience was: I tried comparing a few Seinfeld episodes, found that I am unable to recall the episodes from the descriptions, then gave up.

I found it somewhat hilarious that you wrote a prose sentence with nested parentheses then began the next sentence with "Lisp's syntax is easy"

In Go, consts can only be used for primitives like 42, "foo" etc. - not structs, because the language doesn't have a concept of immutability (and so wouldn't be able to enforce const-ness) except for primitives. More inf
