But surely if it's artificial intelligence then it'd know its limits and would respond appropriately? Oracle use no problem?

It is it because it's actually shit but it's the best thing we've seen yet and everyone is just in denial?

Being a Chinese entity, is it censored?

I don't know who you think are "due to hurt" and doubt HN is the right place for that discussion. I'm certainly not interested.

I have a title ready:

Subtitled: How Prabhakar Raghavan, armed with greed and ignorance tanked the world's biggest search engine for the second time.

Would that not increase the chances of things getting burnt at the base?

I envy kids today to be able to look up pretty much anything what they want to learn. It was not like that back in the day.

It used to be called executive summary. It's brilliant but the kids found it a too formal phrase.

IMHO almost every article should start with one.

Executive summary?

8% of men are colour blind. Not taking that into account when designing UI is ... interesting to put it lightly.

If you get hacked, the hacker has a video record of the last 3 months of your life. Passwords included. Surely that can't be hard to understand?

But maybe CADmium will have a bigger dev group. FreeCAD devs aren't many and Ondsel has hired quite a few.

I appreciate the sentiment. But we both know that plans change. Especially in the software world and even more so in the startup business.

Also, "no plans" doesn't really mean much. "I guarantee" is a lot more meaningful.

Based on your excruciatingly detailed activity for the last 3 months, you haven't been buying any cans. Yet you've been passing the drink verification test.

Your account is suspended until you provide proof of purchase or pay full retail price for 90 cans, plus 200% surcharge.

Totally going to check this out. I've been rooting for FreeCAD but I think it's just going to be consumed by Ondsel in the next few years.

Does CADmium suffer from a topological naming problem like FreeCAD?

logrot — Mon, 20 May 2024 21:03:07 +0000

> You may already be asking: “why not just power the stack using TimescaleDB?” The Timescale License would restrict our use of features such as compression, incremental materialized views, and bottomless storage. With these missing, we felt that what remained would not provide an adequate basis for our customers’ time-series needs. Therefore, we decided to build our own PostgreSQL-licensed extension.

Of course. But that's not what he asked.
