The front runner is not always the winner. If they were able to keep pace with openai while letting them take all the hits and miss steps, it could pay off.

Time will tell if LLM training becomes a race to the bottom or the release of the "open source" ones proves to be a spoiler. From the outside looking while ChatGPT has brand recognition for the average person who could not tell the difference between any two LLMs google offering Gemini in android phones could perhaps supplant them.

It is my belief with some exceptions it is almost always easier to teach a domain expert to code than it is to teach a software developer the domain.

Mostly due to support, at least on the PG side.

They bought peerdb and offer it as clickhouse pipes so I suspect the incentive to support that feature is pretty low

Can tiger data be used just as a simple column store?

All I want is effectively what clickhouse does in PG. I have a single table that I need fast counts on and clickhouse can do the counts fast but I have to go through the entire sync/replication to do that.

A quick scan of TimeSeries always seemed like it was really only best setup for that and to use it another way would be a bit of a struggle.

Now if only they would release an updated one.

I don't know where you want to draw the line but imo they get pretty close to complete meals (https://foodie.sysco.com/) especially when it comes to desserts and appetizers.

The desserts are where I can tell the most since one restaurants lava cake is often dangerously close to every other mid tier restaurant.

Sysco makes a billion a year basically doing that.

There are a bunch of caveats around primary keys and uniqueness but I suspect it could be made to work depending on your data model.

Eh you could implement this pretty simply with postgres table partitions

It is an interesting concept when contrasted with the disappearance of "third places" in the western world.

I mean you can only judge squalor if you also talk about how other people in capitals that were not London lived. Relative squalor might have been nice comparatively, or not, I have no idea.

Plenty of poor people in the US yet people still go there.

This makes the same classic mistake about social media about social media that my boomer dad makes.

100s people a day or even an hour is not a lot of people. It might feel like it is because in person it is but for the over 20 million packages they deliver daily it is rounding error.

33 percent attrition and could only fly once a week.

I know satellites and drones have replaced the sr71 but it would be cool if someone would build a plane as capable again.

> Certain jobs in certain trades, not all of them

Correct, which is why I used said most trades and not all trades

> Base F150 starts at half that. This is silly

The average new vehicle price in the US is 50k, people are not buying the base model.

Vans had tones of popularity. They are an iconic part of 60s culture(minibus) and 80s as well(A Team van)

There are two current reasons

- Millennials grew up in minivans and its viewed as a mom mobile and they don't want that look (despite the fact that most family SUVs are basically mini vans with out the sliders

- US laws favour light trucks

He said Van, not mini van. I think you two are thinking of different vehicles.

No, but a sprinter van is going to provide better actual utility for most trades and a 80k f150 platinum is a long way away from a white 2 door long bed which can make the spend not make sense business wise.

As you say though I do see trades workers with the fancy pickup trucks (often with a trailer, cant scratch that bed paint aha) which I attribute to low interest on auto loans and poor business sense.

Getting it running in linux is the easiest part dev wise.

It is the rest of the iceberg that causes problems.

- You need your support to be able to support linux which means they will need training and experience helping people in an entirely new system

- Linux comes in finite but vastly more combinations than OSX and Windows which means you are probably going to need to pick something like Ubuntu or struggle with the above

- Gotta track bugs in twice as many places

- Need CI / CD for more platforms

etc

Eh those applications can both be run in linux without issue.

They are likely to have more issues related to getting the drawing tablet configured correctly.

The rest is just having to start from scratch and lose the decades of windows experience and intuition which can make things painful as that type of thing cant be replaced without time.

Gell-Mann Amnesia

I have them make up stuff constantly for smaller rust libraries that are newish or dont get a lot of use.

No, it is not.

It uses webkit, which is what Blink was forked from but likely has more in common with Safari at this point.

This type of thing often lives in the issues / discussion tab of a github repo now a days, for better and worse.

Basically the same thing that happened to Nortel.

Gabe gotta buy a $500 million dollar yacht.

It pays to be the middle man!

My girlfriend owns the board game, she enjoys it!

I love Stardew and played a bunch when it was first released.

He really had perfect timing with its release. The original developers and the rights holders for harvest moon had so badly fumbled for so long with bad releases or only in Japan releases etc. Someone was bound to show up in that space since there was a clear demand for that type of game. It also helps that he aped (heh) harvest moon from the super nintendo / game boy generation so it basically runs on a potato and no one needs to buy dedicated hardware.

For real I basically don't even read cover letters any more and I don't blame the applicants for generating them with LLMs. Unless you are applying for a higher level position a cover letter used to just be a mild heuristic for this person took an extra 10 minutes to alter their standard cover letter and include a different related paragraph. Now its just wasted text.

As someone with low vision I loved when they added that and missed it when it was gone.

I can't see the puck at all at a game and have to be very close to a television to see whats going on.

As a result most sports are boring.

They got good jobs because the Allies did not really care about punishing the Nazis.

At the end of WW2 a strong West Germany to oppose the USSR was more important than punishing some middle manager and the quickest way to get the West German state together was to use a lot of the existing bureaucracy.
