FIRE does excellent work.

This has been my solution as well. It has recently been added as an integrated service via devenv:

Maybe your data is stored in a multi-PB pile of HDF5.

How do you position this relative to Flink SQL?

Re:Llama-OCR: An Open-Source Llama 3.2 Based OCR Tool on Saturday November 16, 2024 @04:18PM (#42159434)
I've had trouble with pulling scientific content out of poster PDFs, mostly because e.g. nougat falls apart with different layouts.

Have you considered that usage yet?

Do app running in an a-shell terminal on the iPad have a convenient way provide a tts interface?
Re:Breaking down a record-setting day on the Texas grid on Wednesday August 21, 2024 @10:33PM (#41316255)
Next day load shapes are predictable, so devices should optimize their charging accordingly.
Break them all up simultaneously or find a better approach.

My perception is that there are too many politicians trying to pick winners for their own benefit.

Soldier flies are amazing protein generating/converting factories, amenable to closed cycle modular environments. Ducks love them too.

Twice. Both worked out well for me.

Neither was a startup though.

Re:Rete Algorithm on Monday May 27, 2024 @12:02PM (#40492015)
I've been experimenting with Evrete:

https://www.evrete.org/

It's a little strange, but very flexible. I'd like to try adapting it to evaluate rules specified using annotated Kotlin.

This is very effective - it consistently yields great results.

Don't assume; force UTF-8.
Re:Synthetic data generation for tabular data on Tuesday February 27, 2024 @05:57PM (#39531359)
IANL but I've taken it to mean that releases acquired under the original license would continue to be governed by those terms.

I'm liking this new approach better than e.g. perpetual AGPL though, as it provides incentives for businesses to acquire commercial rights while avoiding any dead end agreements that outlive the startup entity.

Pretty much, but updated for 2024.

  - Airflow and Flink

Your examples in particular have been excellent lately.
Re:Substack won't make you rich on Monday January 22, 2024 @12:03AM (#39086431)
I'm not sure how many paid substacks I'm signed up for, but it's a few.

Average writers, like most professionals, need to associate themselves with a well known brand. No surprise there.

Re:America Lost the Chestnut, Its One Perfect Tree on Sunday December 24, 2023 @07:31PM (#38758437)
The most effective method was to hack into the bark to apply an herbicide, and give it a couple of weeks to make its way into the roots. Dig out as much as you can once the leaves all die. Good luck!
Re:America Lost the Chestnut, Its One Perfect Tree on Sunday December 24, 2023 @01:28PM (#38755442)
Tree of Heaven is worse still. I tried to clear a small property of it for a couple of seasons, and failed, so I unconsciously take note whenever I see it growing: it's seemingly everywhere.

Possibly an artifact from synthetic datasets. It could probably be tuned out without outright filtering.
Re:'The End of Enlightenment' by Richard Whatmore Review on Saturday December 23, 2023 @10:35PM (#38750860)
It's a broad topic, but in this context I'd settle for an extension of Whatmore's earlier book The History of Political Thought.
Re:'The End of Enlightenment' by Richard Whatmore Review on Saturday December 23, 2023 @04:28PM (#38748404)
This seems like an indictment the Enlightenment itself, instead of the critique of current social philosophy that I'd be interested in.
