Ummmmmmmm

wait… why do you have so many regexes you need to put them in a database???

you’ve misunderstood what I’ve said, but whatever.

Tiny Pointers was the paper that the student read to get the idea. The paper he co-authored was “Optimal Bounds for Open Addressing Without Reordering”

the reason it confused me is because the college student was clearly using the algorithm to accomplish his task, not just theoretically designed. So it didn’t seem to be a small improvement that would only be noticeable in certain situations.

I’m not smart enough to understand the papers so that’s why I asked.

Yeah agreed. Just another piece of white devs acting like they knew better for everyone.

This is incredible, but why does the article end by stating that this might not have any immediate applications? Shouldn’t this immediately result in more efficient hash tables in everyday programming languages?

Man I’ve never seen it not work. It’s pretty much the only pattern I use because it’s so successful. Meanwhile the other teams in my company have numerous failed migrations because they try to rewrite the entire thing at once instead of using the strangler fig pattern.

It’s not new. https://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454

Social media requires accounts… by default rss is literally more accessible.

I actually feel disgusted when I see Google search now. It’s just so bad that even the logo does it.

Isn’t that Android? Sorry, not touching Android unless it’s something like Calyx or Graphene or lineage. I’ll just build myself a pc to connect to my TV if I wanted to go anywhere near that.

Have you used an Apple TV or are you just claiming that the shield is better because you like customizing things more?

You’re talking about Streamyfin right? Yeah I’ve had so many issues with that. I just use infuse, but infuse is terrible for actually sorting and categorizing stuff. And it slows down massively with large libraries. I got to around 850 movies and it suddenly bogged down like crazy. Like, the Apple TV is super responsive still, but the app just has trouble loading each successive movie.

I am also person A, so no I don’t think that’s it. A few of the channels I watch upload a good amount, but the rest is very infrequent uploads or very very niche channels.

Apple TV was the best media thing I’ve bought in over a decade. No ads ever, incredibly responsive (league of its own compared to stuff like Roku), and is able to stream from my Jellyfin server. Beautiful interface, fast, clean, simple controller with a battery life that is easily over a year. Just a really good product. Roku can suck by nuts. Literal full page ads in a product that advertises that it has zero of them. Even the most expensive version. Fuck Roku.

Do you pay for YouTube in any manner?

I think maybe it’s geared towards people who watch more YouTube. I never have any single topic take over my entire homepage, literally ever. I even watched a balatro video like two weeks ago and I got two tiles on my homepage that showed balatro. But I also watch a lot of YouTube, so any one video doesn’t change much about my watch patterns. Last year my wife decided we were suddenly going to be watching videos about using turkey calls, and we watched about ten of them in a row and then I was getting a good number of recommendations for turkey shit, but still nothing like OP’s homepage.

they’re also completely ignoring the ongoing (environmental) costs of operating a gas vehicle compared to an EV. Even if initial costs might be higher, they are almost immediately paid off, sometimes as soon as six months of driving.

They are cleaner. The EPA literally calls this “Myth #2” because so many people like you repeat it ad nauseam. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth2

here are some more links: https://www.cotes.com/blog/greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-ev-vs-ice-vehicles https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/01/do-electric-cars-have-problem-mining-for-minerals https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/are-electric-vehicles-definitely-better-climate-gas-powered-cars

David Bott, the head of innovation at the Society of Chemical Industry, said: “The real thing people forget is once it has been mined, you will end up being able to reuse 80-90% of the metals. You don’t have to go back to the planet to steal more minerals.”

funny quote from one of them:

And the alternative will not mean less mining. Caspar Rawles, the chief data officer at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, said: “It always makes me laugh. OK, the mining of EV [materials] is harmful. Where do you think your car now comes from?”

the article points out that due to norway not having a major automobile manufacturer, there was pretty much no lobbying against the laws, so that’s a bit of a tick in the opposite direction. the US has numerous very powerful lobbies making it as hard as possible to pass these laws.
