Fjall is an LSM-based key-value store written in Rust. It is pretty similar to RocksDB.
I do wish to note also that Marvin's blog posts are very informative and a great read. I would highly suggest reading them if you are at all interested in how Fjall or other LSM-based storage engines work.
I regularly enable YouTube subtitles. Almost always, they are a 100% verbatim transcription, excluding errors from auto-transcription. I am not annoyed in the slightest, and in fact I very much prefer that they are verbatim.
If you are too slow at reading subtitles, you can either slow down the video or train yourself to read faster. Or you can just disable the subtitles.

And what are deaf people supposed to do in a cinema, or with broadcast TV?
(And I'm ignoring other uses, e.g. learning a foreign language; for that, sometimes you want the exact words, sometimes the gist, but it's highly situational; but even once you've learned the language itself, regional accents even without vocabulary changes can be tough).

That's just plain tone deaf, plain and simple. I was not talking about myself, or just youtube. You are not everyone else, your use case is not everyone else their use case. It really isn't that difficult.
Software engineering is not just about building new things. I'd propose that by far the majority of the time of software engineers is spent on maintenance, bug fixing, minor incremental improvements, etc. Almost all software is either sold directly as a service or as a product with a servicing agreement.

Wrt. to the half-argument you pushed there, the paper that explains the architecture is already linked in this thread. It's a general purpose processor, the "simulated annealing" remark comes from someone who just borrowed that term from somewhere else without truly knowing what it means, as it is evident that it does not apply to this.
No idea about that "2nd law of thermodynamics" bs; "consumes less power" does not go against that.
Also, actual hardware was built and delivered to a very reputable group of scientists. Some of the smartest people I've met have worked at Sandia. I would be extremely, massively surprised, if this turned out to be scamware like a web3 startup or whatever.
@saagarjha, lmk. if you need more education on the topic.
Didn't the RIAA completely ruin their reputation (along with the other AAs) by doing that? Now it seems like most people just equate them with a huge pile of lawyers in suits who care not about art.
> YC is funding weapon manufacturers lol. Where are the ethics there?
Circular reasoning? The reason we have a massive and more importantly effective air force is because weapons development occurred. It would not take very long at all for China to surpass the US in terms of air effectiveness if the US stopped working on defense projects.
There is no circular reasoning here. I said funding weapons development is unethical, guy responded saying we need weapon development for deterrence, I point out that we have had plenty of effective weapons and the new ones will not be used for peer wars but for gladio/terrorism or regional wars.
Further weapon development just fuels arms races and puts the world in a worse place. That is why I find it unethical to fund it.
Also, btw, China already surpassed us despite all our spending. They are defining what a 6th gen fighter is, after all.
You act like an organization is a single person. The person saying "Sorry, I can't help you" when you visit Google headquarters is not the one ruining your income.
