Why you try and avoid re using the same session beyond the initial task or two

I’m finding Gemini and chatGPT web terminal to out perform Claude code. The context becomes too much for the LLM, and tries to make up for it by doing more file read ops.

Sounds like you might want to refactor the code if the individual files are too big and it can't find what it's looking for?

I’d wager probably not. It’s not like reliability is what will get them marketshare. And the fast pace of industry makes such foundational tech hard to fund

Amazon fresh in the Bay Area was equivalent to Safeway but for better price/quality

I just moved here, but WOW Safeway's prices are absolutely criminal. We'll shop anywhere else. It'd be hard to be worse than Safeway.

I haven't been to a Fresh here, but we had one in IL and it was just a normal grocery store but more confusing. There's a constant sense of "am I stealing?" And the whole "just walk out" thing doesn't work if you don't have a Prime membership, so it all felt a bit overwrought and pointless. Some of the prices were good, others were bad, others were stupid (produce by item count instead of weight). I'd rather just go to a normal grocery store.


Selling it at cost though isn’t. And the cost to make a good is often less than 50% retail

Standard grocery margins are usually lower, in the 30%-40% range, and are often much lower for promotional items. Rotating "loss leaders" to get people in the door are standard practice. IMHO that would make it hard to bring an antitrust action against a grocery chain, as pretty much every store engages in a limited amount of predatory pricing as a marketing technique.

50% is the standard retail markup, but it varies by industry.


I don’t need a Siri LLM. The current Siri is more than adequate for responding to texts and calling while driving. A lot of the “ai integrations” is marketing material for features nobody will actually use


i dont NEED it, but if Siri could actually do anything you could do on your phone it would be very nice.


This is great. Means my scripts in a golang repo can also be written in Golang vs bash/python. It can even import libs from my project.

Awesome!


To me it’s a question of it they are on average better. It’s not like human based input is perfect either.


Do mistakes by the LLM carry the same weight as mistakes by the officer? Can the case be thrown out for an LLM mistake?

Does the officer face repercussions for introducing false information via this tool?


No idea where you live. But I’d hope you’d fight for the safety of your family and neighbors. Thats literally all it means to be in the idf for most.


> But I’d hope you’d fight for the safety of your family and neighbors. Thats literally all it means to be in the idf for most.

This is a perpetual situation, given that Israel's pattern of territorial expansion is always military control over a new area, followed by settlement building. Since now there is a settlement with colonists living in it, now the same starting argument of "defending family and neighbours" applies, since you now need a "buffer zone" to keep the colonists safe, requiring more military control over a new area. Rinse and repeat, and Israelis are always in a situation to be forced to fight "for the safety of their family and neighbours". How convenient.


Well it looks like they derive some pleasure out of it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/20/israelis-cheer...


The way things are going right now, the IDF is trying to cause the total destruction of Israel. Making more enemies when you're already surrounded by enemies (that you made) is rarely a way to any kind of survival. There is only one thing still standing between Israel and complete annihilation, and that's an endless flood of US taxpayer dollars that is at risk of stopping any month now.

What Israel is doing is wrong, but the notion of ‘intentionally cultivating enemies’ seems pretty obviously ahistorical.


It might be a reference to Netanyahu and other high ranking people of Likud who has supported of Hamas for decades, both directly and indirectly via Qatar. It is uncontroversial and there is even a well researched Wikipedia article, but for obvious reasons only include what has happened in the open.

Not taking part of Israel's politics, it was a bit surprising that this hasn't been more controversial but politics in the entire region is complicated, I guess. After all, the corruption in the prime minister's office did cause protests when it was exposed so clearly people care.


I agree the situation is very complicated. From what I read, the support for Hamas was in the form of peace payments, which have backfired.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-q...


No, it's to futher divide up the palestinians. Netenyahu himself has said so.


respectfully, there is no real evidence that Netanyahu (not Netenyahu) ever said this. if you're not familiar with the politics of the region prior to Oct 7th, a lot of this will be difficult to place in context.

i think Netanyahu is awful, but there are other reasons for support for Hamas -- i say this as someone who studied this extensively prior to 2023.


Yes, that's a big part of it too. Quite a mess.


[flagged]


This is just some combination of a strawman and ad hominum. I'm sure you can come up with a better argument than that.


This is not true.

There are plenty of people horrified with both Israel and Hamas, and that while sympathizing with the plight of the Palestinians, think Hamas is hurting their chances of a peaceful solution.

Many people think Israel's right-wing and Hamas need each other, a kind of symbiosis. (Netanyahu certainly needs Hamas to exist).

Of course, the Israeli right wing wants to paint any opposition as pro Hamas anti semites. It's a time tested tactic.


No, virtually no one is supporting Hamas. Stop parroting that. Please allow me to be against genocide without accusing me of supporting a terrorist regime. It's dishonest. Thanks.


They’ve made peace with: Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, the UAE and Saudi. Hamas started the war because they were threatened by that. So no they don’t cultivate enemies. Islamists that hate Jews for not being part of their empire hate them.


Of course the other side of that is that Israel hasn't exactly been kind to the Palestinians. They've been Annexing land in the West Bank and blockading Gaza for what now seems like forever. I can certainly understand why Palestinians might be pissed, even if some of their tactics are abhorrent.


this is true, but i find it difficult to earnestly believe there would be some sizable decrease in violence in the counterfactual with no Gaza blockade. Settlements, sure.


Well since their land got invaded, houses stolen and demolished, burial grounds defiled, poisened with chemical weapons, ethnically dispelled, and crammed onto a piece of land the size of a city , I'd get why they'd still be pissed at the current state of affairs. This did not start on October 7th.


Arabs invaded and colonised Israel in 650. You can easily learn this from any textbook you like.

Their land is 22 countries, the nearly entire middle east and north africa you can learn that for many map.

Jews that were exiled to Iraq or Persia or Syria will be killed. You can learn this from any media you like that covers current affairs.

You can also see that Gaza has many wide open spaces by looking at the satellite view on Google maps.

People that wish to make a 23rd arab state and destroy the only Jewish state - as they proudly chant in the streets worldwide - generally propose doing this through violence you can learn this by looking at your own account history.


> generally propose doing this through violence

Non-violence is also an option. It's Israel that generally objects to international oversight, secular governance or reparation deals.


Israel are setting up international Arab governance for Gaza. And yes they’re understandably wary of anything coming from the UN, which as I’m sure you’ve aware runs schools teaching children to kill as many Jews as possible even if they potentially die in the process.


btw they just this week annexed another big chunk of Gaza


Israel won Judea and Samaria in a war they didn’t start. Arab nationalists are pissed they tried to destroy Israel and lost.


I dunno. I was a kid back then, but didn't the six day war start when Israel attacked Egyptian forces in the Sinai?


Hoping people see this comment when they think Israel are anything other than a war-mongering nation.


But they aren't a war mongering nation and the comment you are replying to specifically points this out - Arabs started the six days war war in 1967.


You're quite eager to skip over the Nakba in your accounting.


That was (supposedly) in 1948, not 1967.


Now you're really eager to deny the Nakba ever happened.


It didn’t. Arab league told arabs to leave the new country while they destroyed it. There were some notable skirmishes but no widespread forced evictions like the Arab nations did to the Jews. That’s why there’s 2M Israeli arabs.


The person you're responding to is making reference to the fact that Netanyahu props up Hamas because it's beneficial to his government.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up...


They made peace with Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon by invading their lands (and attempting to annex them!) and then US forced their hands to make peace. Please mention the context of this great "peace" Israel has made. Israel's neighbors don't hate it solely because of antisemitism.


Idk man, that sounds like the reason is antisemitism. Why else would you oppose giving your land to Israel?


And then subsequently ruined peace with 3/4 (Saudi never normalized).

> Islamists that hate Jews for not being part of their empire hate them.

That’s not even close to reality, but whatever helps you justify genocide I guess.


Saudi didn’t normalize because Hamas prevented it. October 7 was designed to radicalize and prevent normalization of relations. You’re helping them by reframing a justifiable war of self defense against terrorists as a “genocide”.


> Saudi didn’t normalize because Hamas prevented it. October 7 was designed to radicalize and prevent normalization of relations

Hamas prevented it because Israel has no free will? Israel is doomed to only react to Hamas?

Israel had an option to preserve their normalization and gain and keep the sympathy of the entire world. Instead they prefered to do annihilation and genocide.


> Hamas prevented it because Israel has no free will?

No. Hamas prevented it by creating another Arab Istraeli war.

> Instead they prefered to do annihilation and genocide.

No they didn't. You made that up. You can't have a genocide where the population increases that's a ridiculous thing to write.


Yes, they didn’t normalize, so they’re irrelevant to the peace equation floated by the person I replied to.

So a genocidal campaign to level Gaza and cleanse it of its human anima- oops, I meant people, expand settlements in the WB, and occupy southern Lebanon and Syria in pursuit of a “Greater Israel” is self-defense. Makes total sense.

If you have an open mind & are arguing in good faith - which based on your wording is probably not the case - then I will respond to your points.

Not wasting my time otherwise given that we’re two years into this calamity.


Is that a position you've been in before? If so is that what you did?


For smaller datasets (100s of thousands of rows) I don’t see why you wouldn’t just use json columns with generated column/index where needed


Regardless of the number of rows, it doesn't really matter, there are useful cases for where you might be consuming json directly, so instead of parsing it out into a schema for your database, why not just keep it raw and utilize the tools of the database.

It's a feature, not a replacement.
