Welcome to the wonderful world of high performance low level optimization.

Storing type ids everywhere would double the size small fields and quadruple tiny ones like booleans. It’s also not necessary for most persisted data as you know the columns for a table.

Smaller representation makes reading and writing faster, and it also makes more data fit in memory.

Great. So you store a type id separately. But you make that typeid define how to safely read (maybe not interpret, but still read) the data without needing to cross-reference to anything else.

I’ve written plenty of high performance code. You can have safety and high performance at the same timetime.

Could be worse when near term cash is paying 5% and TIPS are paying 2.5-3%.

As they say, when you’ve won the game, it’s best to stop playing.

Wasn't this true for much of the AI bubble? Yet if you followed that advice you'd have missed out on a bunch of equity gains

It’s been a slow climb, but even looking at the last year, you’d have been better off holding tbills than NVDA. It’s pretty much where it was 1.5 years ago.

The market as a whole has done much better.

If you never sold your NVDA you’d have round tripped with only a paltry dividend to show for it.

I instinctively hear a reply to this in Jeremy Irons’s voice, “We are selling to willing buyers at the current fair market price”.

That’s also why more recent tech companies got rid of that pesky independent board by having total voting control.

This is a cool idea. Though trying this out using the claude CLI is kind of funny because by default it's suggestion for the next prompt is the answer to the question.

Indeed! To turn that off, open /config and turn off Prompt suggestions.

Why does it say the “vendor” for this is GitHub (for mod_h2)?

Is that just crappy LLM generated copy that is assuming that GitHub the company is responsible for that module because it’s hosted there?

Yes, this is slop, extruded from reading the patch and the official announcement, which is at https://httpd.apache.org/security/vulnerabilities_24.html#CV...

She’s also Jensen’s cousin!

This is neat! Might be risky depending on the region if you end up discovering a covert drug cartel production facility.

He said that DisplayLink is not a member of OIN, and none of its technology is licensable through OIN or any other organization.

Isn’t the whole point of a patent to make the “how” patently obvious so others may learn from it?

What age range or skill level is this targeting?

It is very manageable, if not overly basic. Standard, general secondary school education is good enough.
