Not to run interference for those shitbags cause most of them are just as evil but I wouldn’t say they all equally threaten democracy. For one I’m not sure their base would allow a woman to be dictator lol even if she won due to institutional fuckery

Unless you want to f around just install Ubuntu and be done with it

• an arch user btw

It’s a play on how prospectors / old timey / uneducated people would talk. Imagine a hillbilly accent with poor grammar.

Vector embeddings with ChromaDB. Basically you pre compute the word embeddings of every row / table / whatever granularity you want and then stick that into a vector DB. Then you do an embedding computation of your query and compare similarity. You can either return the table / row / whatever you want that’s most similar (“semantic search”) or you use that as context for an LLM (“RAG”)

Cars… old cars were indestructible death traps. Crumple zones kill the car and save the human

Whether or not a human would say yes or no to this is what the AI is trying to learn lol

RIP Robert :(

Caunt…. I feel uncomfortable

The world standing by and watching a genocide unfold is unconscionable. Children cannot be militants nor terrorists. Unless the kid is literally pointing a gun at your face there is never a justifiable claim of self defense

I agree they should pack the court, but also congress has impeachment power and several of the justices have been proven to not follow ethical rules. Not to mention the credible SA allegations and the illegitimacy of depriving Merrick Garland a vote and giving to Gorsuch. Finally, Congress could also just enshrine Roe into law and could have at any time done so and they didn’t so I blame Congress more than anybody

I have a 3060Ti and play most games on max settings. There is the occasional game that explodes if I do that but otherwise GPU power is out ahead of decently optimized games (probably because gaming is now no longer the driving factor for GPU performance).

I haven’t played starfield yet but many of the recent headliner releases have been performance hogs. It’s not unreasonable to expect people to either play with lower settings or upgrade if you want to run the best possible set up. That’s why there are performance sliders in most games. When you need a 3080 to run minimum settings that’s when you start running into trouble (👀ksp 2)

Berman and friends thought troi was too fat looking in the standard uniform 😠 we were robbed of 5 or 6 seasons of a lady in uniform 😅

You can write anything in anything. The downsides have to be outweighed by the positives and OP is suggesting there isn't enough positive.

That's too bad, I feel like mastering C is the key to having a super solid foundation for all things how computers work. (Not blaming you, most courses just blast through C without exploring the what and whys). There is something to be said for just getting people productive and for that Python is excellent and immediately engaging. Python is probably my best and favorite language, but I think from a wholistic understanding point of view its hard to beat a solid C foundation to build out from.

My opinion, hopefully I don’t get downvoted into oblivion lol: Rust is great for lots of things and its to be commended for forward thinking on so many neglected areas of software development from the last 20 years. I use it almost every day for hobby stuff and have used it from time to time professionally (among Java, python, typescript, c++).

That being said amongst many of its users it has an almost cult like belief in its supremacy and imho attracts some bad people (not all). Because of how much it protects you, many bad developers find it and fall it love with it because it forces them to code correctly and then they can’t imagine that anybody else doesn’t need the guard rails they do. They also see that some of the smartest and best developments in software engineering happen in this space and want to attach themselves to it, and then use it as a bludgeon against others. Lots of very important software was written in languages that are not rust and they work just fine, were able to meet deadlines / be profitable Etc etc. but there is this attitude from many that if you aren't picking Rust these days what are you even doing???

Rust is great but it’s sometimes messy and not the right tool for the job. The whole “slower to develop but faster to correct” (which I’d say needs some real data to prove out, but for the sake of argument let’s say is true) is a trade off, not something that automatically makes it better. Sometimes due to circumstances way beyond your own control as a developer, you won’t know what the right answer is until halfway into development and there are languages that accommodate that scenario much better (imo). This is one of many of rust’s short comings. For a website, it’s just an unusual tool that even if equally useful from a language standpoint doesn’t have as much tooling and community support around it as other web languages. But I’d say it’s not equal even from a baseline level (again, my opinion. I’ve used rust plenty but I’ve never used it for web dev so I’m talking out my butt). Philosophically, does it make sense to over engineer a super powerful Ferrari of a website when a Toyota Camry will do? Especially when the Camry is tried and true and will likely let you be more agile.

You can do anything in any language, but should you?

Hey Vsauce, Michael here…

vibraphone intensifies

Where tf the anti trust at? It’s an easy solution to a trivial problem. How do we stop a few companies from controlling everything??? Uhhh… make it illegal???

Tuvix ass lookin motherfucker
