he also told them something to the effect of ‘is my phone acting weird? the password i gave you wiped it lol’ during the process. doesnt help for a case that can set a precedent

adopting something and having it improve your life are two dramatically different things

Slightly disappointed the all star roster of investors couldnt conceive a better publicity stunt.


its only the limit we can probe things. just because we can’t measure something doesnt mean nature cant operate at that scale


actually the idea is that nature cant operate at that scale.

the thing about planck units is they are extrapolations that end at single planck length that has some problems just with basic geometry, as well as a supposed instability of a planck space spontaneously collapsing.

a planck unit volume must take a form that has dimensions of single planck units and pack together so that no smaller spacings are created. it cant be a sphere, at best it can be some sort of riemannian tetrahedron or triangle.

it would be conveinient if that level was a 2D plane, but it still has issues.


probe something smaller than a planck unit and nature operates by creating a black hole


there is no smaller than a planck unit.


if you want to ignore general relativity or pretend black holes dont exist, sure.


if you want to ignore the maximum energy content of space below schwarzchild radius of one planck length go ahead, there is no curvature that will bend space that tightly, and GR doesnt apply at that level


top quarks exist as lone quarks and decay before they can pair


Huh? I thought color confinement prevented this?

im enabling skynet but plz admire the vocabulary i used in my post


would not be surprised if shes the first fpotus


She’s not even US born. Nice try.


if the establishment lets that happen it would be incredible for the US imo. But weren't there also pushes for her to get fired even if Harris got elected? Of course not as strong or immediate as it happened with Trump, but the Lobbies weren't happy either way...


put implies overwriting instead of updating.

upsert is for you insert/update.


update already means overwriting.

semantically PUT is exactly upsert.

upsert is update + create if not exists, which is exactly PUT

any update without overwrite is "append" or "extend" (or something else)


append or extend is adding keys without updating existing keys. update can add keys and update existing keys.

put will blow away existing keys if they dont exist in the new payload. which is why it cant be upsert.


... it depends on how the given server defines PUT of course (also how we define upsert, and does upsert make sense outside a DB setting? well, of course some DBs have a HTTP/ReST API.)

that said, usually PUT is meaningful for a URL (or URI), and in these circumstances it's like upsert, and it cannot blow away other keys, as it operates on one key, given by the URL

of course if we assume a batch endpoint, sure, it then can do non-upsert-like things
