I’m curious what the most expensive lesson of his life was.

I just tried the exploit on a fresh Debian 13 droplet on digitalocean and it worked.

VTI just tracks the CRSP US total stock index, see https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profi...
The CRSP index itself adds new companies within 5 days of their IPO, see https://www.crsp.org/what-owning-the-market-really-means/
> The CRSP US Total Market Index, by contrast, adds all IPOs ranging from mega caps to small caps—accounting for 98% of the market—within the first five trading days of the stock’s listing.
So it sounds like SpaceX will show up in VTI sooner than in the Nasdaq100, even with their new "fast entry" rule.

Yep, seeing the same for a bunch of my clients.

Freakonomics interviewed Dan Wang about his book Breakneck back in September, see episode #647. It's a very interesting lens through which to view both societies, worth a listen!

NPR Planet Money did a segment on pig butchering scams back in May. They played along with one to get a first hand perspective of the process. It’s a fascinating listen, way more complicated than I thought, and tragic for both ends of the scam.

He's mentioned (on twitter, and his Lex Fridman interview) relying on https://replicate.com/ and https://fal.ai/ as the workhorses for his AI stuff.

I was at a Drupal workshop years ago and the guy running it referred to .tpl.php template files as "tipple fipps". Not as absurd as "pup", but still made my skin crawl.
I also recall in the early 2000's hearing people call .html files "hotmail files".

Indeed, faa.gov doesn't have an A record in DNS at the moment.

Ditto, I took his discrete math course at NCSU in 1998. It was mainly taught by Tiffany Barnes day to day (who was also nice and a great explainer), but Bitzer was often present and always smiling and jovial.
I really regret having spent so little time interacting with my professors though. I was one of those kids that spent the least amount of time in class possible, almost never going to office hours, aiming to get the course work out of the way asap so I could "have a life". So much wisdom and life/industry experience was concentrated on that campus and at my fingertips, but I totally took it for granted. Seeing his obit amplifies this feeling; I wish I had cared enough at the time to meet and know the guy.

I'm very interested to see this alongside MySQL 9 (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/9.0/en/vector-functions.htm...), and MariaDB (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/vector-overview/).
Will these converge on a common syntax for vector fields, indexes, and comparison functions in the near future? Or will vector implementations just add momentum to the increasing incompatibility in the MySQL-ish ecosystem?

"uBO" is an abbreviation of "uBlock Origin".

It is only available in the Vector Preview release, for source download only, or through the the pre-built docker image on quay.io.
In this initial preview, there is not yet a dedicated VECTOR data type, as they've focused on implementing a usable indexed search.
