    Yes, I found that as a workaround but I can't help but feel it's maladaptive since your spine is no longer aligned.

    What an awful website for such a wonderful feature. I don’t expect to see this in the original Find My (Apple’s) as their implementation is fully custom and works altogether differ…

    I (lifelong side sleeper) started using a (dedicated) knee pillow about a decade ago and I am completely torn about them. On the one hand: amazing. Better spinal alignment, zero se…

    There is no good reason to believe language-specific models are going to be any meaningfully smaller, just worse. Same as English-only models vs those trained on a multilingual cor…

    Just to play devil’s advocate: you can’t compare Qwen to a (proprietary/closed source) hosted model and deduce that Qwen is overthinking, as Qwen gives you the full reasoning/think…

    The tokenizers are included in the open s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶ weights releases; you wouldn’t be able to use the weights without the corresponding encoder/decoder, in fact.

    Look into tursodb for this.

    What quantization level is that? Because official endpoints are slow .

    I would have the same concerns but note that backup generators aren’t just run when needed but also have a weekly/monthly quota of hours they need to run for both testing and keepi…

    What is MMD? That is not an svg.

    Does the page actually load for anyone? I get stupid spa skeleton spinners.

    It gave the svg for the wheels in the reasoning trace then forgot to include them in its final answer. Lol.

    They could certainly still achieve that even if they had a slightly more expensive tier with a (pinky promise) "no training" bit set, or even if it were just an opt-in most users w…

    If only they would let you opt out of training use, it might actually be a viable option.

    It’s not hard to use libavcodec to transcode, though.

    Very good point, but also unfortunately requires getting into the internals. If you can tolerate it just use fastupdate off.

    In practice you’ll never notice the difference between joining on a bigint vs uuid for most OLTP purposes and you’ll be able to generate the uuids in your backend instead of in the…

    The seqscan option being a binary on/off is a bit of a misnomer; what it actually does is set the cost associated with a seqscan to be astronomically high so that other options wil…

    Some comments and corrections: * Use uuidv7 not uuid in general (typically v4) * in addition to minimizing locked records, make sure your locks are ordered deterministically across…

    There’s no need to get all complicated and fancy or introduce more dependencies. For most people, a cron job calling pg_dump_all piped to zstd and copying the output to s3/ftp/what…
