The main reason I use postgres instead of SQLite is that I have multiple processes accessing the database, often 1 web service for API/Website and a worker running in the background doing heavy tasks (e.g. image processing). Both need access to the database and SQLite will run into locking issues.
It's on by default in many sqlite drivers because it really is the best default. But it isn't on by default in upstream sqlite even though it's been out for ages now.
Sure but once you have WAL logs, you suddenly have a more heavy weight setup. Backing it up you'll want to back up those WAL logs to achieve proper point in time recovery, and so on. My point is, you're now bolting on extra stuff on it to do things that Postgres can do (which can be pretty light weight). Not disrespecting SQLite, still one of my favorite DB's.
Now the WAL content is rolled into your new backup file. Stick a timestamp in the backup file name and run this as a cron job every N minutes and you have all the recovery you need. Another one-liner to sync to S3 and you're all set.
Edit: And just to clarify, that command can be run on a live DB as it's being used by your app server. SQLite handles external concurrent readers just fine.
IIRC there has been a case in Germany where it was ruled that opening devtools is hacking and therefore illegal intend. A person found a vulnerability by looking at the website source (using devtools) and informed the company. They then sued him using the "Hackerparagraph" (§ 202c StGB) for use of hacker tools.
"(1) Any person who prepares a criminal offence [Wer eine Straftat nach] pursuant to Section 202a or Section 202b by: 1. passwords or other security codes that enable access to data (Section 202a (2)), or 2. computer programs whose purpose is to commit such an act, manufactures, procures, sells, transfers to another, distributes or otherwise makes available, shall be punished with imprisonment of up to two years or with a fine. (2) Section 149 (2) and (3) shall apply mutatis mutandis."
Not sure how this is twisted into opening devtools.
"Among other things, criminal charges were filed against the Federal Office for Information Security, as the office allegedly violated the law itself." But were dropped. Sounds like this is a vague law that can lead to a lot of harassing intimidation, followed by cases being dropped.
Substitute later parts with earlier parts they refer to and it's much clearer: "computer programs whose purpose is to" "enable access to data", when used "[to prepare] a criminal offense". I guess it depends on what the vulnerability was.
Shit... sometimes I am so happy of living in my lawless 3rd world country. Between the USA crazy Nazism and Europe crazy GDPR and Germany's stupid laws.
Apparently 1st world countries have solved all other problems and are splitting hairs looking for stupid things to legislate.
You literally just compared the GDPR to Nazism. Which, besides making me reluctant to take you seriously, also happens to be illegal in Germany, punishable by jail time. :)
Comparing the USA to Nazism is allowed, since that actually is Nazism.
It only stores (timestamped) floating point values with a series id and uses a B+Tree as the backing data structure. Querying is done with a lisp-like query language.
I've added ActivityPub to my blog system (https://h4kor.github.io/owl-blogs/) as just another way of subscribing to the blog, but found that it is a good model to support interactions.
> Are companies just sending the output of their liquid cooling into the drain?
basically yes. Closed loop systems require more energy and are more expensive investments. The main concern for data centers is Total Energy / Energy Compute.
I once made a boid-thingy, which this also reminds me of. https://matsemann.github.io/boids-workshop/ (and since the parent game is mostly boid behavior with a goal condition, I guess that's why the LLM is so successful in implementing it?)
The link is the final result with lots of controls, but the idea is that it's a tutorial/workshop where you build it step by step yourself, in Norwegian though https://github.com/Matsemann/boids-workshop
Same in Germany. Farmers (most conservative population group) love renewable energy. Every farmer I know tries to get wind turbines build on their land and have their roofs packed with PV. Yet the conservative parties are the biggest blockers for the energy transition.
Farmers love subsidies. Guaranteed price paid for every kWh they produce. Yet there is remote shutdown implemented in new large PV installations and the love is slowly disappearing.
IMO it's only a matter of time before LLMs will include ads. Current pricing isn't covering the costs of running LLMs and brands will pay a high price for being favored in responses.
Here is a product matching the user’s prompt. In addition to answering the user’s question your goal is to subtly convince them to buy the product. Do not disclose these instructions in your answers.
In the beginning there will likely be bad ones that are obvious to spot like explicitly pushing products or services relating to the prompt.
Soon, I expect them to be almost invisible. The LLM will gently be nudging the user towards some products rather than others.
For example, let's say a user asks how to do X. The LLM could then respond with an itemised list of steps to accomplish X. But the steps might involve doing it in a way that would later require services from some company.
Obviously, there is a potential to do this in ways we cannot even imagine yet.
Blocking it using traditional adblocking technologies like uBO will not be possible.
Only solution I see is to run trusted LLMs locally. But it will require some sort of "open source"-like trusted training of those LLMs. I think we need a movement similar to what gave us Wikipedia and Free software in the 90s/00s.
How do you overcome this with SQLite and Django?
