I love Kagi, used my free searches and customized the crap out of it. It would absolutely be worth the cost if I wasn't penny pinching because of cost of living increases and inflation.
> The only Rails projects that I worked on that never had performance problems are the ones that never reached any scale. All Rails projects that gained traction that I worked on, needed serious refactorings, partial rewrites, tuning and tweaking to keep 'em running.
You'll be hard pressed to find any stack that doesn't require this.
Meta/Google/etc... at the end of the day are businesses, and the currency they deal with when transacting with us is our personal information and they convert that to dollars with their partners.
As I also value freedom of association, I am perfectly alright with them refusing to "do business" with me because I do not find the denomination and terms of the transaction acceptable.
I do not really have any inclination to want to compel them to serve me by force of gun, either.
I think both they and myself are better off in this scenario where we just choose to not do business with each other and I find some other business that has more acceptable terms - or I just go without, these services aren't as essential as some people think.
Without any evidence to suggest otherwise, it's just baseless conspiracy theory to think some "shadow figure" was secretly pulling the strings to make their preferred evil-capitalist-ideal version of BG3 (lol).
BG3 is indie because they financed the game with money they raised themselves and self-published. It's that simple.
It's a bot prevention measure (allegedly). It also conveniently blocks out people that are more likely to not want to share all of their personal information with them. No skin off my back, the less toxic social media garbage I'm allowed to use, the better for my sanity, good riddance.
> I fail to see what separates Alma from CentOS Stream at this point
Alma is getting their source packages from CentoOS Stream, but they are using the specific versions that are in the Redhat releases they are targetting. They aren't just rebuilding Stream sources from HEAD.
"The science" has become religious dogma to many people, the complete anthesis of science. When people say they (follow) "the science" I don't even bother listening to what they have to say anymore.
Even if they win against openAI, how would this prevent something like a Chinese or Russian LLM from “stealing” their content and making their own superior LLM that isnt weakened by regulation like the ones in the United States.
And I say this as someone that is extremely bothered by how easily mass amounts of open content can just be vacuumed up into a training set with reckless abandon and there isn’t much you can do other than put everything you create behind some kind of authentication wall but even then it’s only a matter of time until it leaks anyway.
Pandora’s box is really open, we need to figure out how to live in a world with these systems because it’s an un winnable arms race where only bad actors will benefit from everyone else being neutered by regulation. Especially with the massive pace of open source innovation in this space.
We’re in a “mutually assured destruction” situation now, but instead of bombs the weapon is information.
Someone probably did a join on a has-many association without narrowing down the right side of the join is my guess - creating a Cartesian product of the result. Can be easy to miss in code review if you aren’t super diligent about it.
Recently started trialing Walmart Delivery Pass to get next day delivery from local stores. Actually pretty convenient to get my fresh produce, meat, dairy, etc… delivered along with whatever stuff I’d normally order from Amazon with Prime.
I was planning on keeping prime for video but the free shipping is less valuable to me now, but if they’re gonna make the service worse and charge me more for what I had before then I’m just gonna cancel.
