I think that is probably too conspiratorial, if only for the reason that Europe is not gonna go along with it.
I work in tech in Europe and we have a fair number of customers who arelike. we can accept AI, but they must keep the data in Europe. That's trivial with an open weight. We literally cannot do it with Fable.
We have come to a consensus. That is, A, you use the raw input right up till the very last second that you can and B you use the technology specific escaping APIs.
In the case of writing to the DOM, that means you use .innerText rather than .innerHTML. In the case of writing to a database, that means you use the driver and insert variables rather than directly into the string. Both of these are technology-specific escaping APIs. It's just that the browser is much better at making sure HTML is passed safely than you are.
I am curious what is your write pattern? How long do you keep the transactions open for?
There are definitely cases where a single lock does not fit. Even though you can only write one at a time, the transactions ideally should be open for a very short period. That way the throughput, as measured in writes per second, should still be really high.
If there is some other network call in there, SQLite is not a good fit for it and you should definitely move to some other database.
As for write queue, SQLite has that built in if you do transactions — it should unlock other transactions when one is closed.
If you specify IMMEDIATE as the transaction type, it should try to get an exclusive write lock and will timeout after the default time of 30 seconds.
Use WAL (yes this should be the default, or at least explained much better) and you can have one writer, many readers.
Don't move to the network unless you have to - every single request gets massively slowed down because it has replaced local reads with network connections.
Of course if you are building a startup you must consider scaling.
I am biased but I think if they really believed what they were saying, they would be a lot more humble about it.
I suspect what happened is the classic problem: you were sincere, then someone showed you a pile of money bigger than you could possibly imagine and you started to make excuses - Anthropic has a lot of EA people, so the excuse "Imagine how many lives you could save with this much money"[0] is very tempting, especially if all you have to do is diverge slightly from your plan.
[0]: the excuse is even true! You can get a lot of malaria nets/vaccines for 1 million.
Go does not give you control. Much of the speed comes from choosing the right algorithms - including memory management. In Go you have GC, you don't have that in Zig.
Linked lists are a lot less slow if you use Arena allocation around your hotspots and make sure to allocate space for as many as you thing you need, since they will be carved out of a contigious block of memory and will stay in CPU cache.
Golang also requires you to write more code, as it lags Zigs try operator.
That is interesting. And it's an AI critique I haven't heard before.
Would you consider it possible that the way non-intentionally placed items break the game immersion for you is because they appear in such a way that you think you can interact with them in a certain way, but you can't?
Like if there's an extra door in the house you're trying to get into, but that door doesn't really open, then in your mind that breaks the integrity of the game's systems. If so, I think the LLM response is that there are no more doors that don't open and that the world can be generated as needed.
No computer can handle the complexity of even a small town. But it would be possible, at least in the future, to generate the part of the world you interact with, which would heighten the emersion.
I believe the world would be better of without alcohol for consumption, yes.
The only real benefits are not being the one outside the group, and the downsides include liver damage, social damage, massively higher risk for falling, drunk driving,...
More to the point, alcohol would never be permitted if it was invented today. Marijuana might.
Its meaningless to decriminalize using it, since it does not give big benefit of replacing narco terrorists producers with pure, controlled stuff from legal pharma companies.
The world is obviously better of without drugs, but given that is not going to happen, the question to decide is: is the world better of with drugs from legal pharmacutical companies, or (somewhat) restricted access to drugs through an illegal system?
Decrimininalizing drug use is the worst of both worlds: you get more drug access, but it still happens through the illegal system and benefits narco terrorists.
If you don't want to put drug users in jail (you cannot reasonably fine homeless people), you can offer drug courts and diversionary programs.
You need the federal government to do what it did with Marijuana (which is still federally illegal), to be able to try the other choice.
It certainly involved a lot of skill and expense, but how many more lives could be saved if the same money had been spent on improved traffic safety or NHS in general?
I have done as OP suggested and the main benefit is that I can move my email elsewhere.
For now my email is with Apple, since they offers email hosting as part of the icloud+ (or whatever its called). If they decide to die/enshittify, then I can move to another host without having to change any contacts.
One the other hand, since I did use my bare gmail for some years, I am still stuck with it, in case I have some service that depends on it.
