Exactly what I was looking for! Creating small, portable llm-powered tools begs for a lightweight vector database.

The other open source solution I found is sqlite-vec, which is still in alpha.

I can confirm there are no school buses in Amsterdam. School kids do use the extensive public transport network to get to school on occasion.

I would say something like "hup!" (friendly) or "doorspelen, pannenkoek!" (less friendly, but would score you points).

There's a rough Dutch equivalent encouragement "gas erop!" or "gas op die lolly!". Literally translated: "gas on it!" and "gas on that lollipop!".

Both imply that you should increase the throttle and go faster in the current bearing. I'm not sure where the lollipop comes from.

A small inaccuracy: the South Sea Bubble was not the first speculation bubble. Tulip Mania took place almost a century earlier.

I don't know OPs full context but I would suggest prioritizing income safety over the uncertain outcomes of a startup career if I had no roof over my head.

Most customers don't want to pay for good customer support.

This answers the question of the article. What customers want is offloading responsibility without paying for it. There are many concierge level services at the premium end. Chatbots are an attempt at offering this type of luxury to the masses. And it may succeed.

From secondary sources I understand that customers could pay what they want for specialty coffee. Other articles were priced at a premium to subsidise this money losing endeavour. Turns out, people don't pay enough voluntarily to run a business.

I have the opposite experience. When people typically stick around for the majority of their career, there's no incentive to capture knowledge thoroughly. Onboarding time was noticeably longer because of it.

Why is it remarkable that the company is based in Amsterdam?

I live there. There's a decent but not great startup culture. The services infrastructure is fantastic and there are many massive multinationals based here.

I don't see how you need some sort of health benefit as justification to enjoy psychedelics. Why not do it for its own sake?

> Research has shown that napping can mitigate the risk for sleep deprivation

Sleeping helps against not sleeping enough. Who'd have thunk it.

> the debate over labor and leisure is often fought between the Self-Helpers and the Socialists

I don't think those parties are they only ones who have something to say about leisure. Some would argue work is virtuous and you don't need less of it.

Bernian games are situations where the initiator is looking for a pay-off (eg. validation). The parent's comment is not about such a situation.

Informatica -> ADLS -> SQL Server -> PowerBI also, in the same department: NiFi -> HDFS -> Spark -> Hive -> NiFi -> ADLS -> PowerBI and: NiFi -> Azure Event Hubs -> Azure container instances -> Event Hubs -> Streaming Analytics -> PowerBI

I'm pretty fond of the last stack for streaming dashboards in the sensor data realm.

You can. Typically by completing a 'lower' tier and starting in the final year of 'higher' tier.

In the Netherlands, high schools are separated in three cohorts: practical education, higher education and academically oriented education. The latter are further divided in liberal arts tracks called 'Gymnasium' (notable for having Greek and Latin in the curriculum) and somewhat more practically oriented Atheneum. This has been the case since 1968.

Neat! What's your business model?

are you implying Fargate will suffer the same fate?

Smart devs know they probably get the abstractions wrong until the third iteration. This sounds like a sane policy.

Not every product is maintained for years. In many cases it's good to be able to choose between a quick solution and a good solution, as long as these are concious decisions and some record of accrued technical debt is kept.

Every company today is somehow digital native. The web component is implied, not a feature.

Looking broader, there are markets for products to moderate use of other products.

Nicotine patches - cigarettes Fake meat - meat Gastric bypass - food

I think this will be a passing craze.

Younger instagram users are much less interested in showing off perfect shots than their millennial predecessors.

> There will always be a small percentage of situations where '1 person = 1 account' will never be true.

I agree, but this isn't an argument against the obsolence of expiring passwords regularly.

I imagine people sharing passwords are even MORE likely to share passwords in insecure ways if they are forced to change the shared password at a regular interval.
