<p>> If you're trying to learn something new like an algorithm, protocol, or API write that shit by hand. You learn by doing, and when you know how the thing works and have that mental context, you will always be faster than an AI. Also, when did we stop liking to learn?<p>I vibe engineer to learn. I am currently doing this with a project to build a Vector DB extension in postgres. Several aspects of this project are very new to me. I don't write any of the code. I have never written a single line of Rust. I do, however, spend a significant amount of time discussing architecture and design with the agents.<p>I started with well known algorithms (HNSW, IVF, DiskANN, TurboQuant, RabitQ, PQFastScan) and have since moved on to a novel implementation based on fairly recent research papers.<p>My primary goal is to learn. That is a success and ongoing. A stretch goal is to contribute novel ideas back to the community, which may be useful even if what I build isn't ever production ready.</p>

<p>Can you expand on why civil forfeiture based on suspected criminality shouldn't require criminal conviction?  Forcibily taking money from someone for a civil reason (e.g. child support) is obviously different from taking money because you suspect a criminal offense.</p>

<p>It's not discrimination to enforce site wide rules against harassment, racism, and brigading (coordinated upvoting).  Just because only a few communities are breaking the rules doesn't make it discrimination. Racists and bigots aren't a protected class.</p>

<p>They were subpoenaed by Congress, but not until March 4, 2015.    The initial request for emails was made by the State Department.<p>Edit: small mistake.  The initial request did come from Congress and went through the State Department.  It was not a subpoena though, that came later.<p>Edit 2: Since it was clear to some, the reddit post was dated July 24th, 2014.  That's 7 months, prior to the first subpoena.</p>

<p>Abolishing the TSA doesn't mean ending airport security.  It would mean replacing it with privatized security.  The TSA is universally hated so it wouldn't be that hard to find enough Democrats to go along with it.</p>

<p>They said they don't generate or store images period, which is at best misleading.  It might not generate or store a commonly used image format, but it's still an imaging machine.  The machine generates images or it's pure security theater.  Either way they are attempting to deceive people and they shouldn't be trusted.  (doubly so since previous claims that they don't store images is a proven lie)</p>

<p>This is only partially correct.  These new features reduce the amount of data that must be transmitted to/from the postgres server and how much json must be parsed, but the full row is still written to the WAL (write ahead log).  This is true even for partial updates to JSONB columns and even when only updating other non-JSONB columns in the row.<p>When you do need to update JSONB columns this is a big improvement. You still should consider the size of your JSONB columns and the number & frequency of updates to those rows.</p>

<p>Yes.  If someone captures identifiable information then a user can be identified.  This can be minimized by using SSL to connect to services.  A service may share data so you should also use only a single service within a Tor session.  That includes closing tabs to prevent ajax requests.<p>A new session can be created by restarting Tor or from the tor indicator if within TAILS.</p>

<p>The idea of "drug tourists" is absurd.  The worst of the illicit drug addicts can barely take care of themselves.  They choose drugs over food and showers.  They can't hold jobs and resort to crime to feed their habits.  Access to drugs isn't their problem else they wouldn't have become addicts in the first place.  They aren't going to spend their money to travel to Portugal even if they can afford it.</p>

<p>The problem is that many apps are looking at the wrong states when they design their machine.<p>For instance I worked on an app someone had build in which states were based on a multi-page html form.  When I added an android app allowing offline data collection, I then had to hack around the state machine.  We couldn't just create a instance of the object with the final data, we had to write code that replicated the submissions of the html form.</p>
