I'm thinking of the problem as using a small amount of text to represent the work that needs to be done and then using a postgres table where some entries are being added as work that needs to be done, and then a worker is pulling the rows of work out of that table, and maybe putting a completion message somewhere in postgres. I'll concede that is more transient data than probably most of the other tables, it might benefit from vacuuming more often. Does the autovacuuming system not figure out it needs to run more often and do it?

Wouldn't the issue would be more overall queries per second, the amount of writes you're already doing, and the general load on the database. We just added some audit tables that are quickly growing to millions of rows, and it seems like Postgres isn't even breaking a sweat. I'm mostly spit balling here and probably glossing over some details.

But, like you said SQS is pretty easy too.

Only The Paranoid Survive is quite a name for a management book. It implies surviving in the world you are speaking about.

Broadcom has become wealthy by being Google's TPU hardware partner, including sharing their TSMC capacity with Google, and evidently now they are doing the same thing with OpenAI. What a brilliant way to take advantage of the AI gold rush!

I wish they weren't using their piles of money to extort money out of the software industry like they are with VMWare and Bitnami.

Some less than positive-for-police videos I've seen-

- a weak police officer doesn't take control of the situation and the officer standing behind the first one is shot and killed

- an officer, while chasing a suspect, tazes him as he exits the median grassy area and enters a lane of traffic. The suspect was killed by traffic.

- a forfeiture case where someone's life savings (cash) were confiscated without due process during a traffic stop

> There maybe is. I think we call that "blind."

If you go looking into that, you'll see that the reality is far far more complex [0]

"The number of people with no light perception is unknown, but it is estimated to be less than 10 percent of totally blind individuals."

That's incorrect. A license violation isn't theft. Theft deprives others of their property, that's not what's going on here. Intellectual property is a fictional "ownership" that provides value to society, but it is much newer and different than the actual ownership of property.

No one actually owns a collection of words or ideas or thoughts.

I would guess by focusing on Python that you can provide a tighter experience than SST. Is that your plan?

Providing evidence is tricky, because most evidence hints rather than proves, so it's very subject to confirmation bias and is easily dismissed by those who disagree.

There are large filter bubbles right now that make it hard to agree on basic facts. I don't think any of us really knows for sure what's organic and what's synthetic right now.

Japan seems to love creating fat soluble forms of thiamine. I've been experimenting with a form of thiamine called TTFD. TTFD is synthetic, there's a natural form called allithiamine, derived from garlic. There's also another form called benfotiamine. All of these are fat soluble and highly highly available forms of thiamine. TTFD in particular is associated with paradoxical effects where a person can have a temporary worsening of thiamine deficiency symptoms when first consuming TTFD. Thiamine is generally considered very safe, but these supplements are pretty hefty doses, so I would suggest treading lightly.

There's also some thinking amongst some doctors that sub-clinical thiamine deficiencies being more common than most doctors realize [0] [1]

I've sometimes passed on sentimental keepsakes, only to long for them later. What seems pointless yesterday, suddenly has new meaning as I get older and gain new perspectives. In particular, my Mom passed a few years ago, and there are questions I wish I could go back and ask now that some time has passed. There are items I tossed that I wish I had at least snapped a picture of them for reference. I didn't understand the significance of certain documents in the moment.

Maybe the answer is to pick out stories that are important and include some sort of narration. Maybe the answer is to throw away the pictures without meaning and savor the ones with meaning, and make sure that meaning is recorded for your kids.

It is easier to get a job when you have one already. You don't have to solve all the problems at once.

So.. picking some numbers for calculation. 4 answers per minute @ 120 watts is about .5 watt-hours per answer. ~200 responses would be enough to drain the (normally quite long lasting battery).

How does that compare to the more common nvidia GPUs? I don't know.

We get it wrong a lot. It will be interesting to see how the vax debate and perception plays out over the next few years.

I am a bit of a contrarian about lots of things. Some of the smartest people I’ve ever known were major contrarians.

Are Linus Torvalds or RMS contrarians? What about Richard Feynman or Tesla?

I don’t really know if any of those examples would be widely considered contrarians, but my point is that people are multi faceted. Dismissing a person in a broad manner for unpopular opinions in one arena, strikes me as a religious mindset.

Does everyone have to pass a purity test before their opinions are able to be considered? Is that healthy?

Thank you for any consideration you can give this. I truly do not mean to start a flame war. One more thought experiment: is it ok to learn woodworking from an Amish person who likely would have wildly diverging views from most people?

I use it mostly for little cli utilities, so maybe it isn’t an exact refutation of your claim.

Another possibility is that other people are getting into ketosis and you aren't. For me, the "recipe" to get into ketosis can vary a lot based on how much I've been exercising and eating carbs before I attempt to limit carbs or fast.
