I think the problem here is NoSQL, for a RDBMS wouldn’t be a problem with data integrity, that’s why I’d prefer it over NoSQL, while it can be easier to start prototyping without a defined structure, I’m more confortable doing with it.

Last year I tried a lot of those new document oriented databases and for me, they are awful, you can’t be sure what’s in each record, so I need to be more careful with my application logic and not to mess up, while you can easily define your structure and constraints with a RDBMS and be confident that your data is always correct, also, when adding new fields it’s a nightmare without migrations.

This year I started thinking that we might need a database that lets us write proper stored procedures and that it feels like programming (I mean PL/SQL feels pretty hard and it seems that not so many devs are using it), for example what I wanted was to create a trigger when a user buys something, subtract the quantity from the inventory and create a new entry in notifications and orders, that way my app just needs to check if there’s unsent notifications and show the user their orders without that logic being in my app, and it does feels easy to just edit those procedures with migrations.
Not to mention, policing one large facility for compliance with emissions is much easier than trying to monitor every single one of millions of cars on the road.
So it's not always debilitating. But it can be this way and still be often debilitating.

Thanks for the comment. Chortle. That's hilarious.

Indeed, you are right on: Legent, Platinum, CA, and Broadcom in order from little fish to big. CA was the second largest software company in the world behind Microsoft then.

The weird part you couldn't see from this telling is that I worked in the Legent office in Pittsburgh, moved to Boston post-CA acquisition and worked in the CA office in Andover. Resigned and went to Platinum in Burlington. Moved to Seattle. Second CA acquisition in 5 years. I should have quit while I was ahead. Moved back to Pittsburgh. Worked in the exact same office I'd worked in 5 years earlier with the same crew. Weird feeling is a mild understatement. I still know people who work for Broadcom now. I should reach out.

Great. That's a strategy statement. Got any actual laws? Any bills proposed, even?
You are pointing at a single year, I am pointing at a trend [1,2]. The trend had been for the average global temperature to rise up to 2012 to 2016 - depending on which measurements you look at. After that period the average global temperature has declined by 0.06°C per year up to 2022. This change in the trend made the "global warming" moniker easily attacked "because the temperature are clearly going down". This is why "climate change" became the more common term [3].

May I suggest a less belligerent/dogmatic attitude when discussing this subject? If the narrative holds it won't change the conclusion. If new data shows the narrative to be false or misleading - e.g. ice core records show the atmospheric CO₂ concentration to lag behind temperature changes, not lead them, climate sensitivity wrt. CO₂ concentration is low, feedback mechanisms are unclear, there are far too many fudge factors in the climate models to make them reliable sources - it will be much easier to adapt to the new situation. We're not talking religious dogma after all but scientific theory, that which can and should be discussed lest it turns into the former.

It performs well because the context switch between the application and the database is costly in terms of performance. If there is logic to be performed per row, and that logic also requires data that's in the DB, then the performance can be much faster with PL/SQL or similar DB code.

That context switch is routing queries and results between the client and server using IO requests.

"Completely" as in you'd put ALL your business logic in the db, or that you're open to pushing SOME to it? Most?

EDIT: It's genuine question. I use views and write a decent amount of business logic as queries (well, in my language's query DSL). It's always bugged me when people do a lot of post-processing for stuff that the db could do faster.
Interesting numbers. That roughly equates to about $250 million per year plus I don't know how much training is costing them to keep the model up to date and suchlike.

The company also has about 375 employees. I've no idea how much they get paid but I used $200k as a yearly cost and that comes to $75 million.

That's about 3:1 cost of operating the services to paying employees. That seems quite high as I've never been at a company that had 1:1 costs for running servers vs employee costs but I could entirely be off base here.

Given Sam Altman's recent comments on the days of these LLM being over I think maybe Microsoft or whomever is basically saying that they can't spend that much money and they need to control costs much more heavily.
Imagine how your comment would come off if your guess was wrong. That's how it comes off.
Easy conversion (USD to USDT/USDC) from consumer bank accounts
My name is Bryan and I am the CTO of Lybra (https://lybrapay.com/). We are enabling LATAM freelancers to easily receive stablecoins (USDC/USDT) as payments.
Backstory:
Why stablecoins? I know stablecoins is not something that some people are open to receiving as payments but it works for certain countries. High inflation rates in countries like Argentina make it a great option for protecting against inflation and enabling faster transfers. The biggest problem is their clients often lack knowledge on how to send stablecoins, leaving freelancers stuck with a troublesome conversion process (from USD to USDC/T) that involves at least 3 platforms and ~10% in fees.
Think of us as a Web 3 version of Wise. We have an initial product and would love your questions and feedback.
How it works:
1. Receive a U.S. bank account number to pass to your clients
2. Clients transfer USD to the provided bank acc number
3. You'll directly receive USDC or USDT in your specified wallet address at 2% fees

If you pay a million dollars a year in salary, you'll have all the perl engineers you want.

If you pay "market rate", you'll have some good engineers and some desperate engineers, with the ratio slowly trending in the negative direction over time.

Point is, that's definitely a solvable problem, but only if you watch out for hard-to-quantify externalities.

Anyway, if the salaries have to keep going up to keep high quality engineers, the economics of rewriting and/or deleting legacy code start being a lot more straightforward.

China is getting this right.
> Yellen: A growing China that plays by the rules can be beneficial for the United States.

I presume this is political smoke blowing. But if she's serious then she's naive.

China knows it has the upper hand at this point. It has little interest in playing by the rules for that very reason. It's going to play by rules that benefit it and its expending relationships (e.g., in Africa).

This "if" has been the same political if all along. And 50+ years on it's still an if.
How does this work? Does anyone know?

Damn, I've never thought about that before. In hindsight that feels like an obvious thing to consider but this is the first time I'm aware of that thought entering my brain. Thank you for provoking the thought.

What would be the equivalent consideration on the other side? Would it be something like inquiring into the energy requirements of creating and maintaining the electrical grid, especially given the increased load of wide-scale vehicle electrification, instead of assuming we get that for free?

It does transmux mpeg2-ts files into fmp4 to be able to play them on Chrome/android, though it only does so when those ts files are referenced in HLS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_Streaming) playlists, as this player only loads HLS contents, not fmp4 nor mpeg2-ts directly.

The transmuxer is declared in the src/ts-transmux directory if you're curious. It's based on a fork of mux.js's one (https://github.com/videojs/mux.js/). To just transmux ts files to fmp4, you may prefer relying directly on mux.js instead.

Quarto's a great tool, but I think it would be hard to maintain it as a reporting solution for a company. My co-founder Adam and I used to love using RMarkdown in our previous job, but found that as we tried to scale that in our team, it became unmaintainable. Keeping the tool limited to SQL, markdown, and components is a way to help data teams maintain a project across a large organization.

We also think that reporting outputs should have a very high bar for visual appearance, and it takes quite a bit of work in Quarto to get charts up to that standard of quality. It sounds like a nice-to-have feature, but in our experience, publication quality data viz is a very important way to build trust with businesspeople who read the reports. We spend a ton of effort thinking through design choices at Evidence and want to give data teams a library of components they can pull off the shelf and write in a simple, declarative syntax.
Your civic still has more weight on the front wheels than the rear, unless you overload it. (I've never looked at the specs on a civic, but most cars are not rated for much weight.)
So the major difference between your numbers and the ones I cited, is that EROI is just "energy in versus energy out" and it does not change favorably if you do carbon capture or use renewables or whatnot.

Whereas if you compare CO2 emissions, you can do these things and in theory get down to zero emissions from production and refining of gasoline.

Not only that. The more important conclusion is that actually ICE cars are stupendously inefficient.

All that extra energy ICE cars carry isn't actually being put to use very well. They don't have more powerful engines. They don't have more torque. They don't have more acceleration. And even their range isn't that much better. You can of course get models that take something like 100+ liters of petrol. But the per liter performance only gets worse if you do that (heavier cars are less efficient).

The reality is that yes, fuel is very energy dense but sadly most of that isn't transformed into motion when you use it. You are instead making lots of noise (vibrations) and heat. Both are actually bad for your car. So, you use most of the energy to wear out your car faster. The more powerful the car, the less efficient they are. And the faster they break down.

A more interesting question is should we use an LLM here.

There's undeniably a lot of work being done in this area, but so much of it is just ill conceived shovelware in an attempt to make it big in the gold rush.

We get like a dozen "Show HN" posts a day where there's a service that basically prefixes an input with a prompt and bounces it off ChatGPT and returns the response.

There's also no doubt interesting products to be built using this new technology. But I don't think it's going to be made by just gluing 2-3 APIs together. If you can do that, someone else can do it too. That's not a business model. Being the first to do something means very little.

It is canon within your game, and it may ascend to being a true world canon if your game becomes notable enough.

But generally, I agree, I was just commenting about how many there are and how easy it is to create new ones, a lot of us probably made a few of them.

The friction of getting a small snippet of React code into the Jupyter notebook really high. Especially when you want to have communication between the browser and the Python process.
