EU data regions are based on the insanely flawed idea that data is: * a physical thing that can only live in one place * not copyable * can be 'contained'. The whole thing reeks of…

Is this hyperbole, or are you seriously claiming that the Jewish men who run Breitbart, or Jewish founders like Ben Shapiro or Andrew Breitbart, are neo-Nazis?

The issues that I have with Redis are not at all its API (which is elegant and brilliant) or even its serialized, single-core, single-threaded design, but its operational hazards. …

Complexity == risk. > It seems like the thing getting backed up shouldn’t have the privilege of deleting backups in case it gets compromised. (agreed) > For backups, I added a nigh…

Agreed, or even just start with sqlite for your globals and then scale to those later.

OLAP questions are usually out-of-band and preferably by a tool designed for it (like Clickhouse). Scanning all DB's is something that can be done in the background for most of the…

> Don't do this What's wrong with that? Of course it will work fine; SQLite, with or without WAL, has a ton of protections against corruption from writes-in-progress, which is what…

Technically, Zelenskyy instituted martial law and cancelled Ukrainian elections, so although he is the undisputed leader in power in Ukraine, he's not an elected president. Do actu…

It doesn't take more than engineers to maintain an open-source browser , though. Why does it have to be a company at all? Remember Firefox? Firefox was literally just an act-of-lov…

It's a bit odd that literally every single top comment is pro-Zelenskyy and anti-White House. I haven't seen a single thoughtful critique of Zelenskyy or his behavior on HN; it see…

Complete legal arguments as well. If I was an attorney, I'd love to have a sophisticated LLM write my crib notes for anything I might do or say in the court room, or even the compl…

Mozilla owns Pocket.

Mozilla now sells data, while Brave does not?

Yeah, that's an interesting question, because it sounds like a ton of data vs not enough compute, but, aside from this all being in a SAN or large storage array: The larger Supermi…

AI is potentially so much deeper than MAD status quo.

Most LLMs default to being sycophantic yes-men, but if you create a custom prompt, it can help mitigate any issues. I have a custom prompt that instructs gpt4o to get aggressive ab…
