You are more correct than you know. “Coke” (the full sugar, red can kind) is actually Coca-Cola “Classic.” Notably in the 80s Coca-Cola reformulated to the absolute outrage of the soda drinkers of the world (1985). They had released a diet version of this reformulation three years prior (1982)—I suppose as a trial run—based on Tab. For some reason people liked the diet version. This is Diet Coke. After backpedaling on the reformulation, the full-sugar flagship was re-released in all its former glory, dubbed Coca-Cola Classic. Much later, a diet version of this “classic” formula was released. This is Coke Zero. So yes, it’s absolutely about taste, because Coke and Diet Coke aren’t based on the same recipe!


These 10,000 jaw dropping copy and paste tweets about the exact same thing will simply blow your mind!

I watched one dumb cat video and one Friends clip before realising I'd been redirected to a generic home feed after dismissing the log-in wall, and they weren't supposed to be 'generatively filled' clips... /facepalm


Must ... produce ... content


They're all posted by blue check design influencers too.


The hell? Is Adobe using bots to promote their software?


I don't know what the economics are behind it, but there have been a ton of vacuous AI boosting content in the last few months. I guess unlike with crypto you can't simply sell tokens or NFTs so all these bots can really do is just hype up the technology to get clicks and follows for a future scheme.


Generative filler.


the consumer internet, writ large


There's 10000 more pieces of data to "improve" the LLM's of the future :P


Out of curiosity, did you register as an individual? And if so, do recall how much the course cost you? His courses seem very interesting.


Yes, I registered as an individual (but was reimbursed through my employer's training budget), and did so a few months in advance as the previous session seemed to fill up pretty quickly. It was USD$1500 for the week. I'm keeping an eye on his course listing too - I'd love to take more.


I own a US Jetta 2011 TDI post-fix. I believe in the United States that ALL 2.0L Common Rail VW diesels sold in the US were affected[0] and (depending on owner’s discretion) either fixed at VWs expense, or bought-back and resold after the fix was applied. There are likely no pre-fix VW CR TDIs driving the roads in the United States today. The extended warranty was enough to incentivize even the most sovereign of citizens to take their vehicle in. Then in 2015 they stopped selling them altogether in the US. Jealous of the Euros…

Mine gets about 42 US MPG if I keep a light foot, which can be hard given how fun it is to drive. Usually works out to around 450mi a tank give or take (14 US Gallons) depending on how I feel on fill-up day about fiddling my thumbs to wait for the foam in the tank to go down to top it up to get it to “all the way filled.” I love it to death and will drive it until the DPF gets clogged, then delete and keep driving. Just bought a MK4 Jetta TDI as a beater to see if I can drive it to the moon once or twice. :) Cheers!

Thank you and everyone else for what was built. You all helped change the world.


This guy would lose his shit if npm locked down his packages. I’m probably just venting but he’s been nothing but rude to me any time I’ve opened a legitimate issue on any of the larger downstream libraries of his. Not to mention, his Twitter is something else.


Allegedly 6 more rate hikes from The Fed this year too, so this could just be the beginning.


I personally do not believe they have a shot in hell at making it through 6.I think there is going to be some serious chaos in markets well before then. We haven't seen chaos in markets without immediate fed support for decades. It's going to get bad IMO.

It will be surprising if Powell doesn't do a second pivot and go Dovish well before 6.

Obviously I'm not a fortune teller and many people disagree.


It’s my understanding that Airbnb is pretty bad when it comes to gentrification and driving city natives out of affordable housing.


Really curious…how do you meaningfully overlay any indexes on top of a big-ass JSON file? Technical details are appreciated, and no problem if it’s your secret sauce—just very curious how this is accomplished!


So, a funny thought experiment is what happens when you parse a JSON file at the same time? You also index by primary key (the field name).

So, I mirror this thinking and having be just an object with the keys being the primary key. Then, I simply index all the children by their fields based on insights from the developer via the index keyword.

So, if you have

record R { public int id; client int owner; int age; index age; } table<R> rows;

then queries for age can be accelerated by the table.

like "iterate rows where age==42" will basically hone in on the bucket of age==42. I currently only index clients by hash and integers.

The critical aspect which makes this work is that I monitor all mutations. When a child object has a field mutated, then it is removed from all indices and placed into an unknown index. Any queries will also consider it as the purpose of queries to simply narrow the field. Once data changes are persisted, the index is updated and items are moved out of the unknown bucket. This works fairly well because the indices are primarily used during the privacy check phase.


The normal way? You can implement whatever kind of index you like — b-tree index, bitmap index, hash index are all useful and conceptually simple if you're familiar with the backing data structures.

For example, if you want to index a "foreign key" id stored in each "record" in a JSON array of objects, you build a hash table from the FK id values to the JSON array indices of the objects that have that id. It can be as stupid simple as an `fk_index = defaultdict(set)` somewhere in your program, to use a Pythonism.

Now when someone wants JSON objects in that array matching a given FK id, they can just O(1) look in the index to know the position of records that match. Much better than an O(N) scan of every item in the array.

Of course you have to to maintain the index as writes to the JSON happen, but that's not bad once you understand how things work. No real secret sauce.


The secret sauce may be the need to take control of the write path.


AFAIK, Deno seeks to solve the most severe case of this problem in Node[0]. At the very least, you start from a place where permission surprises are more readily caught. Would be really great to be able to specify on a per-import basis.
