Wow tamnd that is lovely to hear. I’m so glad you told me it was an inspiration. Your big download plus quick refreshes is smart. Is your Background in data/AI? Because i don’t know much about huggingface beyond its a hub for that.

Connecting directly with the author of the project that inspired me is awesome. Let's collaborate and see how we can make our two projects work together. DuckDB has a feature that can write to SQLite: https://duckdb.org/docs/stable/core_extensions/sqlite . Starting from Parquet files, we could use DuckDB to write into SQLite databases. This could reduce ingress time to around five minutes instead of a week. If I have…

One of the things that i got interested in from the comments on my show was parquet. Everyone raving about it. Happy to see a project using that today.

Would be happy to connect more :)

By "to do this" do you mean to not use booleans? It's because the value does not represent a binary true or false but rather a means by which the item is deleted or dead. So not only would it not make sense semantically, it would break if a third means were introduced.

Yes, we know!

That is should be avoided is what makes it a bad thing? I am probably on board with the idea that it is bad design, I just don't know what reasoning you are referring to here. How would you design it?

> This is a limitation not because of having the bool value be represented by an int (or rather "be presented as"), but because of the t y p e , being an integer.

What bool value? As designed, it is an int. I'm sure that I am just missing what you are saying.

I can't comment on what is legal, but I very much dislike the idea that my comments are the property of Y Combinator. I assume that by writing here, I am putting information out into the world for anyone to use as they wish.

Your comments, yes. But the contextual thread as a while, no.

By posting comments on this site, you are relinquishing your right to that content. It belongs to YC and it is theirs to enforce, not yours. https://www.ycombinator.com/legal/

Is this legal advice?

Do you want it to be? I think it's safe to assume that most comments are _not_ legal advice.

Yay! So much knowledge in just 11GB. Adding to my end of the World hoarding stash!

Your family is starving and your dog died of radiation poisoning from the fallout but at least your local LLM can browse this and recommend a good software stack for your automated booby traps.

Not really, AI slop flood is also some kind of end of World. It gets harder and harder to hoard pre-2020 content.

For what it's worth, there is an official, daily updated public dataset of all posts and comments. Therefore, the data clearly isn't something they consider a trade secret.
