The Islamic clampdown on the Iranian people has gone on for too long. The younger generation is willing to die for their freedom. The internet is locked down, satellite comms jammed with Chinese tech. The streets smell of blood. Police and imported Arab thugs open fire into crowds of protestors. Hospitals are systematically raided to finish off the wounded.
It will be his greatest act as president if Trump sends real assistance, as the Iranian people are begging him. It will save countless lives. Either way, in the end, Persia will rise again, the lion will raise its head, the brutality of Islamic oppression will be cast off, and the world will come to know the true spirit of these people.
BYD is overhyped in the US for some reason. In the countries where they are available, they are considered decent budget vehicles. There's a reason why the Model Y is still the best seller in China.
This is as bipartisan as it gets. Senator Chuck Schumer, senate majority leader, has introduced a bill that legally requires all individuals with direct knowledge of non-human technology to disclose it. Both the senate and house are pursuing parallel tracks pushing for disclosure, both of which involve republicans and democrats. You're welcome to dismiss this all as a ruse, but you do so in ignorance.
UAP sightings and encounters are a global phenomenon, documented by civilians and military/government individuals and declassified documents going back decades. If you begin even cursory research into the topic, you'll discover as much.
Experience exists. Whether the contents of the experience are "real" or "not real", it is not coherent to claim that there is truly nothing at all -- what could even cause one to come to that conclusion if there's nothing at all? Platonism is one of the few (only?) games in town in terms of potential ability to furnish answers here (a Popperian scientific method has well-defined boundaries on the scope of explanatory power) -- and the more indications we get that physics can be derived from number theory and combinatorics, the more seriously I think it will be taken as a research topic. A more formally developed Platonism would also potentially be able to address the "something rather than nothing" question.
Why do you think "something rather than nothing" question doesn't make sense?
I see how your response makes sense in terms of questions like "why does an electron exist", but what about the general notion of existence? It seems self-evident that there is something, even just experience. I interpreted the question as more "why something rather than nothing" which seems coherent.
It's backed by mathematics instead of a country. That doesn't make it better or worse, just different, and diversity is generally what people want in their portfolio.
The approximate kNN is quite nice for many use cases, and scales to billions of documents. However, you're correct that filtering happens on the results. This is only an issue in certain use cases where filtering is very narrow, as you can often just request much higher k than the number of results you really need without much slowdown.
If the filtering is very narrow, as you commented they also provide functionality to perform pre-filtering and then exact kNN on the results. This is of course higher latency, but still quite acceptable for many use cases (this is how I use it).
I believe there are use cases that Pinecone addresses better than Opensearch, but I want to let people know that there is a free, open-source solution which _may_ also work for their use case.
Elasticsearch does currently support vector search through script score using dense vector fields, however I suspect they are still working on improving it and I prefer the Opensearch implementation for the time being https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr...
Amazon's Opensearch (fork of Elasticsearch) natively supports vector-based approximate KNN (using https://github.com/nmslib/nmslib/) which is integrated with Opensearch's native filtering functionality. Elasticsearch also has similar functionality, but I don't know if their KNN code scales quite as well.
That's quite true in physical science. However, physical science is a fairly new endeavor. The "why" may not be entirely psychological, but mathematical, at the end of the day.
The feelsbad mechanics (like random creep placement) could be accounted for and the randomness mitigated, but it was highly skill-based and thus frustrating for beginners. The fact that the same guy won almost all the tournaments in the beta shows how skill-based the game was. Closer to Chess than to Magic in some ways, despite the elements of randomness. I think Garfield was right, but there were very real concerns about the player experience that still needed to be addressed. It also needed frequent new card releases imo.
It's too bad Valve didn't properly support or listen to players of Garfield's digital card game Artifact (which he developed for Valve). It was a huge leap forward in digital card games, involving high-level strategic play not present in Magic. The 3-lane system inspired by DOTA and the Initiative system were great innovations in the genre.
Interesting, I find Lex to be one of the best podcast hosts I've listened to. I like his mix of philosophical and technical conversation. Most of his guests seem to genuinely enjoy and engage in the conversation.
