Interesting, I wasn't aware; thanks for that. I will say, Polars' implementation is much more centered on out-of-core processing, and bypasses some of DuckDB's limitations ("DuckDB…

Polars also has all of these benefits (to some degree), but also allows for larger-than-memory datasets. Also has GPU backend, distributed backend, etc. Polars is heavily underrate…

Does the food carry bacteria in reality? Why are we talking about bizarre hypotheticals?

They will get away with it if we believe we are powerless to change it. Russia has been proven to be pushing defeatist propaganda similar to your sentiment, and I'm sure Israel has…

Are Gazans receiving adequate nutrition? If not, why are we discussing semantics?

Starving infants is justifiable sometimes? When?

Starving infants is morally justifiable if it's possible to make a rocket from their food?

A Pew poll in 2022 found that about half (48%) of Israeli Jews agree that Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel. Horrifying statistic.

I thought the opposite - they set a precedent indicating that reproduction of a copyrighted text by an LLM is infringement. If authors refuse to sell to them (via legal terms indic…

Essential context. So many variables here with very naive experimental procedure. Also "Cognitive Decline" is never mentioned in the paper. An equally valid conclusion is "People a…

Who did Tesla have to pay off to sell a product called Full Self Driving, that is not actually fully self-driving?

I don't understand why developers of PyTorch and similar don't use OpenCL. Open standard, runs everywhere, similar performance - what's the downside??

Is there any reason OpenCL is not the standard in implementations like PyTorch? Similar performance, open standard, runs everywhere - what's the downside?

Is the explicit threat of nuclear war by Russia a possible factor here? Ie. Developing nuclear energy would feed into developing nuclear weapons. From what I understand, the anti-w…

Pretty likely this is associated with the huge increase in mental illness associated with isolation during the pandemic. The depression rate tripled from pre-pandemic levels, leadi…

As mentioned elsewhere, self-reported happiness is notoriously inaccurate, and is not correlated with objective statistics like suicide rate. The suicide rate in 2021 is at an all-…
