I had the same exact thought. It's implied, but I don't think the article explicitly states that the content produced by the think tank has minimal or no human involvement.

I guess regardless of if the calculations are batched or not, all the rows would have to be processed before the window function results could be determined.

Reading about the batch optimization, I suspect there'll be trouble ahead for implementing window functions, unless those details were dropped for simplicity.

The possibility of competition, and an existing proof of concept, could motivate the Postgres team to pursue performance initiatives that they otherwise wouldn't.

I save all my passkeys in Bitwarden and they sync across devices.

Verbally getting Android Auto to play the album Black Star by Amaarae is impossible.

I've been vibe coding a cross platform desktop app targeting bird photographers, that uses photo metadata and vision ML models to generate an eBird checklist formatted CSV for importing. It can detect and classify many birds in a single photo as well as individual birds. https://github.com/jkanethird/rackery

How old is this bug? I can't imagine it exists on iOS or iPadOS; have those kernels really drifted that far apart though?

I've decided that anyone who uses the term "antifa" in a serious, scaremongering manner must be fascist.

Doesn't JetBrains offer perpetual licenses for specific software versions? How do they host all the old versions?

How much do all these AI features cost Microsoft to run? Do they run locally or on their servers? What even is the business model?

Your credit score IS maintained by companies! Their whole business is maintaining American credit scores. I really have no idea what their business model is.

Hard agree. Especially in widely spaced suburban/exurban neighborhoods that mysteriously lack sidewalks and have suspiciously wide roads.

I had just upgraded to Windows 11 last week, and for some godforsaken reason earlier today, I could SSH via WSL but not from the host OS even though they were both using keys served from the Windows OpenSSH agent! I'm just going to blame this service outage and hope for the best tomorrow.

New comment by NautilusWave in "Polyamory doesn't liberate; monogamy doesn't protect"

It's not a very good umbrella term, the term itself implies a relationship structure where an individual is in multiple, involved intimate relationships. A couple in an open relationship where one or both partners engage in dalliances doesn't fall under that umbrella.
