Yes. And the database used by GitLab is Postgres which handles that just fine.

Why are sites about women's health issues posting porn, exactly?
PixyMisa··on xAI is looking more like a datacentre REIT than a frontier lab
Good question. You can actually see the searches it runs (momentarily) so testing could determine if it's using public search engines or a private system.

I find that too. I use Claude for coding but when I need to dig out something based on limited data I turn to Grok and it delivers.

In the article, it states that the two deals will cover the entire cost of SpaceX's AI buildout in 18 months. OpenAI and Anthropic would kill for that kind of cashflow.

Also, SpaceX is a rocket and communications company with a secondary AI play, where Anthropic and OpenAI are pure AI companies.

And it is far and away the world leader in satellite launch capacity and satellite internet.

Does that justify the massive valuation? Probably not. But it's a factor.

PixyMisa··on Nobody cracks open a programming book anymore
And Google already had Google Video when they bought YouTube. They retired their own platform to go all in on the acquisition.

Money laundering.
PixyMisa··on Iran launched unsuccessful attack on UK's Diego Garcia
Their regime is made up of hardline Shia Twelvers that believe that if they kill enough people the Twelfth Imam will appear and lead them to global victory.

Only problem is the Twelfth Imam has been dead for a thousand years.

They may not be stupid, but they consistently act based on counterfactual beliefs.

Yep. The IRGC runs the country at this point, and they do not have anyone else's best interests in mind.
PixyMisa··on 4Chan mocks £520k fine for UK online safety breaches
That has been true throughout history.
PixyMisa··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
Iran has been at war with the US since 1979.
PixyMisa··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
That scenario has played out before.

Eight hours later Iran's navy was at the bottom of the sea.

And there is no Iranian leadership right now as far as anyone can tell.

PixyMisa··on Notepad++ hijacked by state-sponsored actors
If the exploit had been widespread, though, it would have been quickly discovered.
PixyMisa··on China DRAM Maker CXMT Targets $4.2B IPO as It Takes on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron
And the next two are 95+% of what's left after that.
PixyMisa··on China DRAM Maker CXMT Targets $4.2B IPO as It Takes on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron
Like Nanya in Taiwan, DDR5 production at CXMT is in its early stages and a small fraction of their overall shipments. Give it a year and that will likely change.
PixyMisa··on China DRAM Maker CXMT Targets $4.2B IPO as It Takes on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron
Doesn't matter given the current shortages.

If CXMT can fill more of China's domestic demand, that's still good news for us all.

PixyMisa··on The Unknotting Number Is Not Additive
Can't recommend this video highly enough. Matt clearly demonstrates with physical examples both the question and the answer, and why it took so long to find that answer.
PixyMisa··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
So I'm not going mad. Good to know.

Or rather, I am, but I'm still right about the subtitles.

PixyMisa··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
Arabs are not native to that area.
PixyMisa··on Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon
There are two million Arabs and Muslims living as citizens of Israel.

They have more rights in Israel than they would in any Arab nation.

Gaza was handed back entirely to Palestinian rule in 2005. Everything Jewish was removed, even graves.

You can't pay your debt with PPP, though. You have to pay it with real money.

It worked so well that there's now a major combat front inside Russia.
PixyMisa··on Turbo9 – A Compact and Efficient Pipelined 6809 Microprocessor IP
It sounds like it has similar (maybe the same) extensions as the Hitachi 6309 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitachi_6309

That is, it has a 32-bit accumulator (made up of four 8-bit accumulators) but apparently no address extensions.

PixyMisa··on Database of artists used to train Midjourney AI garners criticism
