The reason SQLite is the most deployed is that it's used by Android.

Sandboxing doesn't necessarily mean isolating the extension from all potentially dangerous functions, you can have a permission system so that for example a color theme extension can't modify files.

Considering how many AWS and non-AWS services go down at least partially when us-east-1 fails, this reads somewhat like "Don't worry that the steering wheel and pedals aren't working, your engine is still running on cruise control".

The Greek term would be decatetrahedron.

> That's the problem though. Thinking your product will get by on looks when it's clearly outcompeted on performance, price, availability and longevity. That's not just optimism, it's delusion.

May I present to you the Apple corporation, at least until recently.

> Haven't most people looked around and asked themselves where are all the 50+ engineers? They basically don't exist in large numbers.

I'm not discounting ageism in the industry, but how popular of a career was it 30+ years ago compared to now?

> P.S. I also live in Poland, not Polish. I also lived in Berlin, and I dont think the salaries are always so different.

Anecdotally this is also my experience. Several countries in eastern Europe have vastly lower taxes, and as a result international companies can pay salaries that are on par with western Europe but still cheaper than an equivalent worker in Germany or France because the cost to the employer is much lower.

An article without telltale signs of an LLM is indistinguishable from an article written by a human, so yes.

Do we? Or are we born with pre-training (all the crucial functions the brain does without us having to learn them) and a context window orders of magnitude larger than an LLM?

> They do see those use cases. It's not surprising that they focus on the enormous number of other, negative use cases. It's misleading to describe the medical use cases as "more important" - yes, they are, in the same way that healing a person is "more important" than ruining their lives. That's not what you're implying by your usage of the term, though.

This comment could just as easily apply to a conversation about computers in general, it's just that people whose lives have been "ruined" by now-established technologies have been largely forgotten by society.

> I think it's what led to Google's downturn.

What downturn is that exactly?

> "We're sorry, what we were able to give you for $100/mo before now needs to be $200/mo (or more). We miscalculated/we were too generous/gave too much away for too little. It's a new technology, we are seeing a ton of demand, we are trying to run a business, hope you understand. If you don't want it, don't pay for it."

Anthropic's thing has always been that they are perceived as slightly ahead of the competition, if they 2X their pricing then the competition that used to be "slightly worse" suddenly becomes an absolute bargain and guts their user base.

Essential services (banks, government services, public transport) generally still support SMS as an alternative to their mobile apps when there's no completely offline process.

Wild guess, touching this with a 10-foot pole risks validating his claims. If they sue for breach of NDA, it means his claims are factually correct, and if they sue for libel and it goes to court, they may be forced to submit documents they don't want to.

I could've sworn I saw a comment like this in 2016 when Tesla was blowing up

If you hold the belief that the Trump administration (and Trump himself personally) have not commited a rather long list of crimes openly, you are either willfully ignorant or complicit. I do not care if this statement irritates you in any way. After a certain point, we are firmly in the realm of personal responsibility.

> A connector of any kind reduces signal quality.

Like the M.2 connector?

> Data lines need to be longer

Like the data lines going all the way to an on-motherboard storage device?

Freedom without supervision vs supervision without freedom, both failures of parenting.

Apple has their high-bandwidth chips, the rest of the commercial desktop market is effectively running Windows, and Microsoft has no incentive to move towards local AI, their ideal case is that you use their cloud-based services and pay for them forever (you being enterprise clients with thousands of PCs).

> Struck the ICE agent with her car

One of the above comments gives a pretty clear cut showcase of how this is not, in fact, a fact.

> I think they both contributed to the tragedy.

"Between me and Jeff Bezos we are worth several hundred billion dollars". The ICE agent contributed the bullets that made this a tragedy, the victim contributed not following the orders of people who are not police officers, I'd say it's not much of a "both" situation.

> Nobody protesting peacefully gets shot.

At least one person already has, but something tells me you'll just move the goalpost of what "peacefully" means.

> I thought Republicans were for small government and were anti-censorship.

They are against very specific parts of big government and censorship

The bar in the US right now seems to be if someone with any authority feels like killing you.

>and I haven't seen anyone worthy of putting in such work

So aside from the subhuman Singaporeans who should be violently forced to adopt your ethics, it is also everyone on HN that is far below your golden ethical level and not worth of effortful discussion (but definitely worth moral lecturing and grandstanding), got it.

I love how you're opposed to the death penalty for provably societally damaging criminal activites, but violent imperialism on those that don't agree with you (which would almost certainly entail many deaths)? Completely OK.

": not conforming to a high moral standard : morally wrong : not ethical"

I see nothing here that applies to executing drug traffickers.

>Do you know what an opinion is?

Cool, what makes _your_ opinion better than mine, or that of the Singaporeans?

>Singapore is perfectly able to control their borders better than most countries. It's not like the US where it's relatively easy to sneak in.

Okay, why should they? Drug traffickers are perfectly capable of not attempting to smuggle drugs into Singapore.

Define unethical.

> Wrong. It's barbaric and primitive.

Source?

> Yes, it is. People make mistakes. People have infinite possibility to grow, change and contribute to society. Snuffing everything someone is out because of an arbitrary society rule that ultimately does less harm than murder is indefensible.

Putting aside statistics on actual reform instead of fantastical infinite possibility, as I understand this policy mostly serves to deter foreigners from attempting the potentially very lucrative business of smuggling drugs into Singapore. Even if Singapore didn't take the "barbaric" approach of executing them, they would have to either host them as prisoners on their already very limited land, or go through the process of deporting them to their home country, where they might not even face any consequences and just try again. Why should they bear this burden for people who have no ties to Singapore and will never contribute anything to it?

> Correct. Those who wave away AI and refuse to engrain it into their workflows are going to be left behind in the dust.

Similar to those who waved away crypto and are now left behind in the dust, yes?

> Who knows, maybe soon enough we'll have specially trained de-slopper bots, too.

Fire, meet oil.
