How horridly inefficient, he should have just flipped a Boolean on each iteration.
Horridly inefficient. Just unfold the loop.

> Sure, senior pilots make as much as some FAANG developers
That's a funny way to phrase it. I'd probably go the other way and say "sure, FAANG developers make as much as some pilots..."
Those pilots have hundreds of lives on the line every day.
Those FAANG devs have milions of (social) lives on the line, though. Every day.
kroolik commented on The Pain That Is GitHub Actions feldera.com/blog/the-pain... · Posted by u/qianli_cs
There are lots of problems.
Actions try to abstract the script away and give you a consistent experience and, must crucially, allow sharing. Because gitlab has no real way to share actions or workflows (I can do yaml include, but come on that sucks even harder than actions) you are constantly reinventing the wheel.
That's ok if all you do is " build folder" but if you need caching, reporting of issues, code coverage etc. Pp it gets real ugly really fast.
Example: yesterday I tried services, i.e. starting up some DB and backend containers to run integration tests against. Unfortunately, you cannot expand dynamic variables (set by previous containers) but are limited to already set bars. So back to docker compose...and the gitlab pipelines are chock full of such weird limitations
You can apply dynamic env to other jobs by exporting an env file as a dotenv artifact. So first job creates a dotenv file and export it as artifact. Second depends on the first so it can consume the artifact. https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/artifacts_reports/#artifacts...
kroolik commented on Supercharge vector search with ColBERT rerank in PostgreSQL blog.vectorchord.ai/super... · Posted by u/gaocegege
Usually, we destructively compress (mean-pooling) both the query and the document, and then compare the two compressed forms.
With ColBERT, we compare first - at the full token level - for more detailed comparison. Then reduce the full set of comparisons to a single vector. Naturally this takes more memory and compute to do the more comparisons. The idea is it’s worth it because the more detailed comparisons lead to better results
tokens —> reduced vector —> comparison
Vs
tokens —> comparisons —> reduced vector
Why do you need the vector if you have already compared the query with the result candidate?
Post: "If you’re comfortable, I’d like us to try and be 10% more vulnerable"
This comment: "I'd rather not have my manager forcing me to do group therapy."
How did "if you’re comfortable" become "forcing me", and "try and be 10% more vulnerable" become "group therapy"?
Its not difficult to imagine a person saying 'i have nothing i want to share here' be stigmatised in future. As a person who doesnt want to work together and be part of the company culture.
I generally see one black person per month, but according to internet trolls, my country is flooded with Africans.
1) IMHO, people use quantifiers like majority, mostly, rarely, etc not because its the absolute truth, but because its their subjective PoV
2) Dont trust everything you read on the internet. A lot of it is skewed by personal biases.

>LLMs are good aide for developers of all skill levels
My experience is: at high skill levels it's harmful, so I'd disagree with 'all skill levels'.
High level devs still do low expertise things every now and then. Or rather, designs need to be implemented, eventually.

Re whys: this can be even simpler. I sometimes catch myself rapidly click the mouse button a second time with my finger, right after the initial click. This is not intended and may be related to low resistance on the button itself.
