That's not majority of trips, it's by distance travelled.

Basically in the Netherlands, if you're within 5-10km, you go by bike. If public transport is reasonable, which it mostly is in urban areas, you take it. You'd almost never choose car within a major city, unless it's on the outskirts.

Point still stands that public transportation is not the default mode. There isn’t a country with the cycling infrastructure of The Netherlands. And The Netherlands only has that cycling infrastructure due to its urban sprawl and low density cities. In most places in Europe you walk to your doctor, supermarket or cafe.

- me, also in 2010, when a junior colleague ("what would he know?") spent his bonus on bitcoin.

USearch has a sqlite extension that supports various metrics on including Hamming distance on standard sqlite BLOB columns. It gets similar performance and is very convenient.

(There's also an indexed variant that does faster lookups, but it uses a special virtual table layout that constrains the types of the other columns in the table.)

See https://github.com/unum-cloud/USearch. pip-installable for Python users.

How exactly does GDPR prevent you from complying with cybersecurity laws?

For instance, one of GDPR's 6 lawful bases for processing data is in order to comply with legal obligations.

If you're going to make strong claims like that, the onus really is on you to give specific examples.

I wonder is the GP is referring to the CLOUD Act, as it is true that US companies cannot be compliant with both the GDPR and the CLOUD Act, but it doesn't weaken the case for European tech sovereignty.

We totally found this doing financial document analysis. It's so quick to do an LLM-based "put this document into this schema" proof-of-concept.

Then you run it on 100,000 real documents.

And so you find there actually are so, so many exceptions and special cases. And so begins the journey of constructing layers of heuristics and codified special cases needed to turn ~80% raw accuracy to something asymptotically close to 100%.

That's the moat. At least where high accuracy is the key requirement.

Only for those inputs that are compressible.

If a compressor can compress every input of length N bits into fewer than N bits, then at least 2 of the 2^N possible inputs have the same output. Thus there cannot exist a universal compressor.

Modify as desired for fractional bits. The essential argument is the same.

You can also use the =LET(...) formula to define named variables:

    =LET(
        filterCriteria, "Fred",
        filteredRange, FILTER(A2:D8,A2:A8=filterCriteria),
        IF(ISBLANK(filteredRange),"-", filteredRange)
    )

There must be an odd number 2D + 1 of arguments. The first 2D are D name-expression pairs and the final one is the expression whose value is returned.

The end result - as you see - is quite readable.

Am I going mad or do some of those old.reddit comments slope downhill?

No, the subreddit has applied custom css to do that. It's the mildly infuriating subreddit. There's also an image of a hair visible on widescreen monitors, to make you think there's a hair on your display.

I went there and saw two hairs, and yeah thought it was a nice funny touch.

I then went back to HN and turns out one of the hairs was real and I needed to clean my laptop screen :)

They have a bag of dirty tricks [0], here are a few highlights including a couple already mentioned:

I see the hair on my iPhone. That’s a nice touch.

The next step will be adding a web in a corner, to make us think we cracked our touchscreen /s

try eddrit.com

r/mildlyinfuriating seems to have a custom stylesheet that is deliberately mildly infuriating.

I see it too. What the heck?
