I think this website and this website may be a more fitting place for you.

It’s how CPUs do floating point calculations. It’s not just javascript. Long story short, a float is stored in the format of one bit for the +/-, some bits for a base value (mantissa), and some bits for the exponent. As a result, some numbers aren’t quite representable exactly.

I was curious, here’s the driving route on GMaps

Renewable biomass: burning forests before you turn them to coal

One thing to know about transactions is that they track data and then write it. It’s not the opening that slows it down. I have a question though, what is your source data? Do you have a big CSV for something? Can you do a db to db transfer instead? There’s another tool called the BCP utility.

Edit: SQL server/ssms have tools for doing migrations and batch imports

I’ve done a lot of work and no, that is not normal.

A few things: First - SQL server has tools for migrating data that’s pretty fast. SQL bulk copy can use some of these. Check to see if the built in db tools are better for this.

SQL bulk copy can handle way more than 15,000 records

Why are you wrapping a data dump in a transaction? That will slow things down for sure.

You generally shouldn’t be doing huge queries like that to where you’re nearing the parameter limit.

Can you share the code?

and also in the article

If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it

While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.

Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.

You know there’s a bit of irony here, b/c I’ve had essentially both of these conversations with my parents, meaning, they strongly opposed ending the embargo if you bring it up, but simultaneously not realize there was an embargo.

They’d say things like, “Why won’t the Cuban government allow the imports of things they need? Why won’t the Cuban government allow American tourists?” and then I’d tell them that’s not Cuba, that’s the US.

But they support an embargo while not really seeming to know what it’s doing and probably because they’re boomers so communism = evil and therefore if there’s bad thing for Cuba, then they support that.

The conversations get really strange really fast. My parents tend to get very ideological and often contradict themselves within a 5 minute span and I’m just staring at them like, really?

I just read the 25 pages and they used a lot of hard data from China’s own databases, though the data is very limited access and particularly opaque even when compared to other regions according to the report, and it looks pretty compelling.

Edit: I’ll add that I’m changing my mind about it. I used to believe it, then I started to distrust it, but now I guess I’m coming back to it. What’s pretty wild is I’ve watched videos of people going to Xinjiang and it looks totally normal. Mosques everywhere, arabic text, people smiling, etc. Then on top of that it’s pretty clear that western capital wants to reduce China’s gains, so of course we’re happy at these reports.

But the quickest way to clear it up would be for China to let the UN come and look and interview people, but they aren’t. I do recognize that UN investigations tend to come with US spies, but I don’t really see what’s over there to hide, anyway.

I wonder if any American president has the spine to not let another country drag us into another war.

nah.

F# also does that

Capital demands growth. It doesn’t care how you do it. It doesn’t track or reward whether you did it by making the world better or by creating death squads and working with the CIA to kill thousands of people and overthrow a government that wanted to charge you taxes and limit the amount of land you could have.

It’s been this way, and worse, for a long time. But bear in mind that Twitter gave us the ability to see how billionaires think. Modern media made them more accessible. They didn’t change, our knowledge of them did.

The fact that they lead with crocodiles and don’t elaborate…

a lot of AI is really just fancy statistics stuff. Years and years ago, I was doing an introductory lesson on some AI tools and the example given was predicting the price of rent or the price of a house. There’s likely a mixture of the statistics part to predict and the algorithmic part to increase the amount and see if people bite.

It turns out, most will when everyone is using it bc being homeless kinda sucks.

Funny thing about that, I used to do sound stuff and we’d tell people to practically kiss the mic. Just put it right on the chin and make out with it. Not the last part, but just about that haha

draw a picture of the galaxy with a giant 1 going through it. that’s pretty reasonable.

I’m so tired…

I’ll watch it

In case anyone is not sure, this behavior is completely normal in the Christian circles. The number of times I heard people, preachers, or whoever blame the victim for causing the man of god to stumble is far more than you would want to know, and was every time.

One thing to understand about many Christian groups is that they elevate their preachers to a very high standing and believe that they are “so close to the Lord” that they just don’t do bad things. So, in order to preserve this cognitive dissonance, it’s the child that tempted them to sin.
