It's a bit unfortunate that [1] doesn't seem to mention Fleece[2], since Fleece is an already existing, solid format with very similar properties (JSON-compatible data format, uses offsets for sharing, allows for cheap updates, and uses binary search on arrays to achieve O(ln n) lookups in large tables or arrays, etc.)

That's what Twirp (https://github.com/twitchtv/twirp) is about. Protobuf or JSON, over any HTTP, with a simple URL schema. It's fairly simple.


highly recommend twirp, even in current year. connectrpc seems to have stalled so there isn't a ton of languages w/server support, and because of the grpc interop on top of their own protocol it's a bit of an undertaking to roll your own.

the twirp spec however is so simple you can throw together your own code generator in an afternoon for whatever language you want.


I'm worried this person is going to experience a Yak overflow, honestly.


Coincidentally, I discovered this glorious page literally five minutes ago:

What a wonderful term. I love it!


So many little things for parents. Your list is good. I was also struck by "early baby", for example, for subtext children will only get when they re-watch in 20 years.


Lighters cars, electric bikes, more trains on steel tracks...


So you can't even debug or check the LLM's output for correctness? Good luck with that.

If anything, the best use for LLMs is to produce code in very strong languages like Lean, where correctness of the code can be established. Just trusting machine code output would be irresponsible.


Thank you for sharing. What a terrifying experience. I hope you get some help to deal with the trauma.


Where do you see sunshine? Are the "audits" public at all? It's indistinguishable from just having Musk kill every agency he dislikes with no further proof, while siphoning data to some unspecified server. The timeline also hints at no serious audit taking place.


Can you point to a country that publicly releases everybody's tax returns, as a policy? I know some countries that release elected officials' returns, but not those of common people.


Finland for example: https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/finnish-tax-administration/d...

> Individual income tax information for 2023 was released on 7 November 2024. Public information can be browsed on tax office workstations and requested by telephone: How to search the public information on income taxes and real estate taxes

> The following data is included in the public information on individual income taxes:

> name, year of birth, county earned income subject to state taxation

> capital income subject to state taxation, income subject to municipal taxation, income tax, municipal tax

> imposed taxes and charges in total, amount of back taxes or tax refunds


Thank you, not surprising it's the nordic countries. I can't imagine this in the US but I'm glad to learn some places pull it off.


Norway allows you to see / search almost everyone's personal tax record (including name, birth year, postal code, net income and net wealth). You can do this online here: https://www.skatteetaten.no/en/forms/search-the-tax-lists/


A quick google search tells me Finland, Norway, Sweden, Pakistan


Sweden - public records.


Why does this one man, then, work for a government bent on ignoring science and denying climate change? I'm just laughing at the idea that the grievances are "petty" when the guy is leading a fascist coup right now.


What does it matter what one man thinks? What does it matter what coup happens if the world ends because of global warming? The only way to think that party politics matters more than doing every single thing we can to fight global warming, with no distractions, is to not truly believe in global warming.

Because if you actually believed it, you'd be too terrified to be distracted by party politics.


That’s a little like worrying about the roof replacement your house will desperately need in a decade, meanwhile there’s a guy trying to burn your house down right now. Let’s put the fire out, then we can worry about the roof.


Wrong. What we do TODAY determines what happens in a decade. Global warming is determined by what we do today, even if the final destruction doesn't show up until later.

You are literally a climate change denier.


The administration Musk is a part of has suspended leasing and permitting for wind energy projects: https://apnews.com/article/wind-energy-offshore-turbines-tru...

It has suspended renewable energy approvals on public lands: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5105492-trump-...

And it's quitting the Paris climate agreement so it can "drill, baby, drill": https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20px1e05w0o

If you're serious about addressing climate change, you can no longer buy Tesla.


OK. Still going to focus on the arsonist first.


You think that individual choice is the one and only way to fix climate change? The new regime's policy is "drill baby drill". That's a lot more impactful than people electing not to buy a particular brand of electric cars.


> Because if you actually believed it, you'd be too terrified to be distracted by party politics.

Weirdest instance of "whataboutism" I've ever seen. Yes pay no attention to eg forthcoming deaths due to withdrawal of pepfar, anti-malarals, etc but do pay attention to the effect of EVs on climate change (don't worry that it's the same guy selling the EVs that's causing the deaths).

Like Jesus Christ you really expect people to be convinced by this reasoning?
