I was reading it as an endorsement for autoincrementing int primary keys and a condemnation of uuids in general which is a genuine stance I’ve known people to take. Is that not it?

UUIDs make great primary keys in some applications. If you generated 100 trillion UUID4s, there’s about a 1 in a billion chance of finding a duplicate. Thats usually good enough for my databases.

The issue here was that they used a single UUID instead of generating a new one for each record.

I work with software and my coworkers will occasionally tell me they ran something by ChatGPT instead of just reading the documentation. Every time it’s a bullshit waste of everyone’s time.

Nixon made a similar argument once. It’s the 3rd derivative since inflation is the first derivative of a currency’s buying power.

Fuck trump and all but he literally did not say he would stop all electric car sales. He said he would stop all sales of Chinese brand cars manufactured in Mexico.

The “you’re not going to be able to sell those cars” line is about 32 minutes in.

GMOs aren’t inherently bad but many crops are genetically modified to be resistant to glyphosate and other herbicides so they can douse the fields with the stuff.

AC6 supports ultra wide and 120hz frame rates on pc. I didn’t see any stutters or notable issues in my playthrough. I’m hopeful that from soft’s next releases will have fine pc support.

A lot of cities in California have problems with hexavalent chromium and arsenic in tap water and nothing is really done about it. It’s naturally occurring, abundant, and really hard to remove from the water.

Distributions like this are common in the natural world. Randomness and probability get weird. The phenomenon can often be explained by Zipf’s law.

There’s a local llama subreddit with a lot of good information and 4chan’s /g/ board will usually have a good thread with a ton of helpful links in the first post. Don’t think there’s anything on lemmy yet. You can run some good models on a decent home pc but training and fine tuning will likely require renting out some cloud gpus.

Got any pics of the bottom? That would help a lot in identifying it. It’s probably so shiny because it’s been polished for some reason.

Copper and iron are essential elements in human biology. Enamel coatings need to be thrown out once they start chipping. Nickel isn’t great but in my experience stainless steel pans barely shed any material after years of use.

I stop at manufactured polymers. Particularly when they’re used in applications where they fall apart into our food and the environment where they’re going to last millions of years.
