AzureML and its AutoML are not unaffordable. It's literally a free service. You only pay for any compute you may consume, and for that you only pay the bare VM price. But you don't have to, you can also use your local compute for training.
Snowflake is (amongst other things but primarily to me) SQL database as a service, designed for analytical queries over large datasets.

It separates compute and storage, so there's just a big ol' pile of data and tables, then it spins up large machines to crunch the data on demand.

Data storage is cheap and the machines are expensive per hour but running for shorter times, and with little to no ops work required it can be a cheap overall system.

Bunch of other features that are handy or vital depending on your use case (instant data sharing across accounts, for example).

I've used it to transform terabytes of JSON into nice relational tables for analysts to use with very little effort.

Hopefully that's a useful overview of what kind of thing it is and where it sits.
Snowflake is a hosted database that uses SQL. Two distinctions it has is that (1) it lets users pay for data storage and compute power separately and independently and (2) it takes decisions about data indexing out of your hands.

Databricks is a vendor of hosted Spark (and is operated by the creators of Spark). Spark is software for coordinating data processing jobs on multiple machines. The jobs are written using a SQL-like API that allows fairly arbitrary transformations. Databricks also offers storage using their custom virtual cloud filesystem that exposes stored datasets as DB tables.

Both vendors also offer interactive notebook functionality (although Databricks has spent more time on theirs). They're both getting into dashboarding (I think).

Ultimately, they're both selling cloud data services, and their product offerings are gradually converging.
There is a “hack” that you can use to increase your value - jump into a smaller pond using positioning.

“I’m a great React dev” - great, so are literally tens of thousand of other people.

“I’m a great React dev with focus on front-end GDPR compliance” - suddenly, you’re one of a few dozens and can charge accordingly.

The important thing is to niche down on a business concept, rather than a tech concept. People paying invoices usually don’t care about tech, they care about business outcomes.

It was not only hard, but it was also pointless in many cases. Spain did not allow children to go out for about 2 months even though there was a little reason to do that because outdoor activities pose very little risk.

No one from policy makers have admitted this mistake or even apologised, and there is still denial that it was a wrong measure. The state had to pay back all fines collected from rule breakers but it was only due to legal technicality.

Louis CK went from being B/C list celebrity, TV/Comedy Start, Netflix Specials, massive sold out tours promoted on national and international media ...

... to being shunned by the entire media establishment, no TV deals, no appearances, and doing many fewer shows with a tiny fraction of the audience.

If he were not cancelled, his Netflix appearances alone would be worth $25-75 Million, just in the last few years, probably the bulk of his earnings.

His income dropped by 100% for several years, and is now probably less than 10% of what it was.

"he term is watered down to meaninglessness."

His career and personal identity were totally dismantled.

His brand value is nil and future income prospects are a tiny fraction of what they were.

What kind of person would see this as a 'meaningless' distinction?

Honestly the question comes down to how frothy people have to be to not understand the obvious materiality of the situation.

What does that mean, because of the currency? Are you referring to DZD? If that's the case, the transactions would not be in DZD but in EUR, USD.

Companies have bank accounts that are in EUR, or USD, and they'd link their account to Stripe and make transactions with these currencies.

By charging and balancing individual cells, you mean group of cells that are connected in parallel (the 4P in 12S4P)? I don't see how or why would you balance individual parallel connected cells, unless you had a different battery configuration.

Simplest "balancers" drain cells that have too high a voltage as you are approaching full charge. You do need to occasionally top the battery off, to keep it balanced. Seeing they already have sense wires and discharge resistors, they could fully monitor state and balance even without top off, but that's additional code complexity.

There are nice BMSs that can shuffle charge between cell groups - they increase range by helping the weakest link, and should help longevity, by again, decreasing strain on the already worst cells. I don't know how common they are, just that they are not typical. There you can also have good and sub-optimal algorithms.

I have heard of individual cell monitoring and maybe balancing, but I have no idea what, how or why it does it.

I haven't had a day without a work phone call since 2004. Even when I was living off the grid in the Australian outback for a year, I had to find places to check messages, and dialup modems to commit code changes. I'd never hire someone I couldn't call when I needed them, just like my employers would never hire me if I couldn't be called. Just the way it is. I like my freedom more than most people, so I find ways to balance their [my clients'] needs against my autonomy.

I mean with deep respect for Miles Davis and as an admire of Kind of Blue and someone who generally likes bebop, the idea that he was more influent that the Beatles is somewhat comical. Miles changed jazz multiple times but from fusion onward jazz becomes mostly an irrelevant genre like rock-and-roll sadly is today.

Meanwhile the Beatles are the top selling band of all time, voted by specialists as the greatest artists in history. Their impact on global culture is impossible to measure. Virtually everyone knows a Beatles song. So much so that their general impact on the 60s and the world onwards is an actual field of study.

Okay, but you're disregarding both new hires and seniority. I know a garbage man who's a poet and makes $100k a year, with health care and a pension. Other people who have that job for a year or two might decide to move into a different field. There are more people being born all the time. They start somewhere and move on. I served when I was in my 20s. Now I'm served by people in their 20s. So?

This is a hilarious comment. Granted this forum has an over-abundance of the so-called academic elite and so phrases like "low intelligence" and "work ethic" can be passed around with impunity.

But what I cant look past is the audacity to suggest and eveb imply that historical migrants from Europe(mostly) worked hard and had some magically higher IQ. What? If even the academic elite, who pride themselves in their rational objectivity, can whitewash history to that extent - it is worrisome. Truly frightening.

Just chalk it up to being the worlds pop cultural, economic center - and deal with it. People have always migrated to the country/state where the opportunity to prosper is greatest. It's osmosis and you can't really stop it until and unless the US becomes a third world country devoid of wealth, freedom and opportunity.
Great summary, though given the overall opinion of the M1's performance they must've done something right. Maybe it's due in part to ARM being less strict on memory ordering that'd allow the M1s to utilize those registers.
I think this is actually fair; even Strang, after all, provides answers to only select problem sets (e.g. only odd problem sets in Linear Algebra if I recall correctly) though to be fair to Strang, it seems to me that in his case, it's more a matter of "if you are unsure, come and ask me" and probably not the case of maximizing profits.
I think it's pretty well documented that intentional reordering happens and still happens

In summary asynchronous programming without a GC is a pain in the a*.

The article glosses over async Rust and is mostly a rant about how closures are difficult in Rust.

Most of the difficulty comes from Rust not having a GC yet wishing to keep track of object lifetimes precisely: a GC'ed language needs no distinction between an ordinary function pointer and a closure that captures the environment. But Rust being a low-level systems language chose not to have a GC.

Another popular language also doesn't have GC, makes distinctions between ordinary function pointers and closures, and its closures are unnameable types; that language is C++. But instead of using template for closures everywhere (like the STL), you can optionally use std::function<R(Arg)>, a type-erased closure type, which would in principle be similar to Box<dyn Fn(Arg) -> R> in Rust. But such a type doesn't really mention the lifetimes of whatever it captures, so in practice it doesn't work well in Rust (though std::function works well in C++ because the C++ doesn't care about lifetimes).

With that in mind, I see this article as not understanding the goals and tradeoffs of Rust. The author would be happier writing in a higher-level language than Rust.
I think most people are less enthusiastic about their names.

Their cofounder was behind vectorwise, which kicked ass in benchmarks, but died as no one even heard of it.
You can run the benchmark queries fast, that's great, but can you handle code migrated from vertica? Will you optimiser come up with a good plan for queries built on 15 layers of views? That's what companies in the real world have, not some synthetic benchmark that you can make sure you can run for marketing purposes.
At least in academic circles python has always looked like pseudo code for C(or similar) you can execute so everyone has "used it" at some point or another to describe algorithms and stuff. Then the same academic circles do a lot of ML/AI research so python had a natural advantage.
Honestly I would have much, much more respect for somebody advocating for gay rights (even to extremes) back then than today. Back then there was real issues for gays, including legal discrimination. Today there is only social discrimination and that is at a much lower level.

Basically back then it seemed not only sincere but useful. Even if you were only doing it to show of, you were doing some good and risked some social cost. If you do it today you do no good and do not risk anything.

The interesting part is that Snowflake omits Databricks' performance scores in their graphs. Here is how they compare on TPC-DS benchmark, based on two companies' self-reports:

* Elapsed time: 3108s (Databricks) vs 3760s (Snowflake)

* Price/Peformance: $242 (Databricks) vs $267 (Snowflake)

Needless to say, these numbers seriously need a verification by independent 3rd parties, but it seems that Databricks is still 18% faster and 10% cheaper than Snowflake?
The author spends the majority of the post saying how synchronous Rust doesn't work. The main problem? Closures have to be passed as traits. And they either don't know about the `f: impl Fn(i32)` syntax or refuse to use it for some reason.

Then the last paragraph just say "Oh and asynchronous Rust is even worse."
Which part of the article are you disagreeing with? Just the title?
FAANGs, noun: something you don't want to get lured into
I view us (coders) as plumbers or car mechanics; and I'm certainly not a good plumber, and only a very primitive mechanic. One will pay me $200/hr for my time fixing software and I'll pay them $200/hr back to fix my car or my plumbing.

Anyone can learn a trade if they take the time to study and become proficient. I don't think it requires "privilege". Maybe twenty years ago you grew up too poor to have a computer in the house, but you certainly had a car or a toilet. And so some people learned to be proficient at fixing things, and other people ...? Not so much. But that's okay, because as you said, not everyone can be effective at working on technology.

However, that doesn't mean that the world needs to bend over backwards for people who can't get proficient at something.
Awesome book. Thanks. I've been needing to get back on my mathematics studies. This fits the bill perfectly.

> Software is trivial to make for yourself and insanely hard to make for someone else, so your vision is not completely off.

No idea how true that is, based on my own experience - totally false. E.g. writing the control software for grow lights (esp-32) was far from trivial and my daily job that's actually writing software "for someone else" is not hard.

Deep craters aside, the lunar poles get the most sunshine of any points on the moon. Lunar "night" lasts ~29.5 earth days at the equator, but much less, on average, at the poles.

You get similarly extreme cold temperatures (-180C or so) anywhere on the moon during darkness, even at the equator.

Has it actually improved though? Every study I've seen says students are worse at maths today than 30 years ago, so to me it doesn't look like all that pedagogy research improved things.
