AFAIK VictoriaMetrics is a backend product that is positioned as an alternative to Prometheus/Graphite/InfluxDB/OpenTSDB, perfectly works with Grafana. It has its datasource for Grafana and yes, it has integrated VMUI which you can try at https://play.victoriametrics.com.
I'm glad it's working out for you.

The Romans claimed this about themselves, but I'm not sure they're completely credible, at least about human sacrifice. The Roman Triumphal parade, for instance, included marching captured prisoners of war (often numbering in thousands), who would be led through the triumphal route up to the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. There, the prisoners would be executed. The Romans may have claimed that they weren't committing human sacrifice, but this seems hard to believe, given that the soldiers were killed on the grounds of the temple of their chief god, literally honored with the title "best and greatest."

On the whole, the Romans were quite enlightened compared to the other brutal civilizations of the ancient world, being governed more by law than superstition, but they still had these quirks that wouldn't be eradicated till Christianity replaced the state religion.
For me, using DVORAK has nothing to do with speed, and everything to do with comfort. It's simply easier to use and results in less hand and wrist strain.

The latest consoles are also running mid range cards from a few years ago and are doing just fine. They are running games at medium at lower FPS/resolution than PC so games will mostly continue to target and work well on medium hardware. High end PC gaming is the exception, not the norm.

The Mac audience is not trivial and has deep pockets so as long as porting games is fairly easy the it's an obvious choice.
It's simpler than that. For a PoW blockchain based digital economy, the energy waste would scale much faster than the growth of said economy. There's lots of energy in space, but only so much of it is accessible at any given level - I would not like 99%+ of that to be dedicated to keeping the blockchain going.

Today, this may be increasing fraction of energy generation on the planet. In 50 years, this may be dedicated space satellites beaming energy from the sun. 500 years later, a Dyson swarm constructed for the sole purpose of keeping the blockchain going.

Nah.
Pretty sure that is illegal in the UK. If a business is advertising a sale, they have to follow certain regulations, which include actually having discounts against a previous price which was in place for a period of time.

It's not without perverse effects though. Often you see price increases in October/November so that a discount can be advertised in December, but it's just the same as or barely-discounted from the September price.

For comparison, the M1 was routinely benchmarked in NVIDIA 1050 TI to 1070 territory depending on the benchmark. This is only a few fps behind native.

Split keyboards can help with wrist positioning but not finger travel, both of which can contribute to wrist problems.
I see the "visual" aspect of the low-code movement in the frontend, but not on the backend.

For the backend, my pain point is setting up a whole project for a small task (for example, I need to process a webhook from provider X; it is just saving some fields of the payload to a given DB table). In this case, I would prefer a "platform" to quickly code and deploy these tasks.

The value here is not the ease of coding, but the ease of spinning up a new project and having some basic development services available (versioning, JSON parsing, orm, some form of temporal storage, some form of cache, maybe some work queue mechanism, ability to run periodic jobs, etc) glued together in a consistent API available in some scripting language (Javascript, Lua). On top of this, basic DevOps features (deployment, observability, monitoring, etc).

Just my 2 cents.

Maintain a relative compute power advantage yeah. Maintain doesn't imply the device will be static. I also don't expect Apple to sit at this $3500 base price for long. Honestly a little surprised they launched with it at all but makes sense if they want it to be completely stealth, they need the apps out there so it got apps for consumers to use when they get the cheaper consumer/non-Pro version out.

Also a lot of FBs efforts seemed to be around their whole Metaverse play which is a step beyond just making a good VR/MR headset. The Quest headset seems to be doing pretty well if not the explosive world eating unicorn that companies are always reaching for.
That isn't the version of history I remember reading about Bungie, but I suppose there are probably differing viewpoints about it. In any case, I do know that John Carmack has said that Steve Jobs told him back then that he should stop working on games and work on operating systems instead, and that he generally did not like them.

Commentary feels a bit lazy. Seems to operate on the assumption that it's not different than previous AR/VR offerings in any way.

If they can find a million people to watch movies on flights and/or use it as a monitor replacement, and if it works well for those use cases, then Apple will net $3.5B of revenue and have a solid foundation to build on. I don't think the first generation needs to do a whole lot more than that.
Sadly, there is no shortage of folks willing to hand over their money.

In my experience and based on convos with friends at other studios, good producers (product owners) are hard to come by.

Of course devs would pin the blame on ops/production, but I think it's a really interesting problem that has plagued studios of all shapes and sizes.
I mean, you're kind of dead wrong? I've been using Macs for almost two decades at this point as a developer, and it's never kept me from getting work done. These days it's great having a powerful Mac, with the ability to use local machine learning models with relatively large amounts of VRAM (more than any consumer GPU, though inference won't be as fast as recent Nvidia cards). It's great at video editing, too.

When my wife worked for Dell, she got a 17% employee discount on all Dell branded products on their website. But it was 17% off list price, not current "sale" price. So using your employee discount often would cause you pay more for the product than if you didn't use it.

It looks like the reason this apparently weird instruction exists is that AArch64 has a zero register, meaning you can use csinc with two zero register operands to represent cond ? 1 : 0.

Given that AArch64 has/had no 16-bit instruction support, it probably made sense to provide a generalization of a setcond instruction to make use of the encoding space of 32-bit instructions, and that's one of the most obvious (the other ones being cond ? imm : 0 or cond ? imm : reg).
Rosetta translation + D3D12OnMetal (which developers aren't allowed to use to publish their games, so you'll have to do it on your own and work with a subpar version) will happily eat that 30% difference. Not to mention the massive changes that drivers bring, where Apple will never either want or be able to do as much work as Nvidia does.
Yes, it does matter what "we" want. This is how society and culture works, by people debating what's good and what isn't good, and deciding to regulate some of the things that really aren't good through law, and "regulate" other things that aren't good through cultural norms.

Within my circles, the "regulation" of not having everyone on their phones constantly in social settings has been slowly but surely taking root for years. And that's a good thing. I hope (and believe) the same will be true of these headsets.
No, but I bet his quants backtest trading strategies. His argument for dismissing LLMs is nonsensical, just because something uses information from the past doesn't mean its useless. In fact, every tool we have can match that criticism in one way or another
Yes. At least there is a plausible argument for it in many contexts. Imagine a suite of ten hypothesis, one of which is correct but each of which requires 6 effort units to prove or disprove or discover or whatever. If we only have a 10 units of effort to devote to research, we won't get anywhere if we divide them equally but we can eliminate each hypothesis if we work serially.

In reality I would expect the effect to be even more pronounced because progress on a hypothesis is almost certainly non-linearly related to the number of people working on it (with some point of diminishing return, of course). It is totally reasonable for a community to more or less work on proving or eliminating the few most reasonable hypotheses at a time rather than to spread themselves over the (frankly enormous) space of hypotheses relevant to a particular area.

I'd hardly argue that our system of allocating scientific research effort is perfect, but how could it be?

You can, and should, do that without playing fast and loose with the law.

Yes. As well as a lot of other companies such as Uber. Breaking the law seems to have become normalized in SV culture as a good and normal practice for startups to engage in. This is one of the many terrible things about SV business culture.

These type of questions seem to show a misunderstanding of the nature of the problem being solved. Would anybody ask "How many eyes do you need to drive a car?".

Self driving is a difficult problem because you need to:

- Decipher the nature of the objects in the 3d space you are moving on.

- Predict how their physical relationship to your current position will change according to current timeline and intentions of these objects.

- Explore the plane of possible deviations for each of these objects and
be able to react accordingly.

My take: have a few database instances (machines) each holding the data for a group of customers. With postgres you can even put different customers on the same database instances but in different schemas.

This way you get all the benefits of the relational model (you can use foreign keys, transactions consisting of multiple tables, etc.) and the performance benefits of additional machines that are not just read-replicas.

Centralized shared tables can be in a separate database which can also hold the mapping between customer-ids and database instances.

Only drawback is that management is more difficult -- backup, migrations, etc. Specifically, you need to handle the case where some customers have migrated their database and others had not yet.

It's significant in that it takes a very different approach to AR (passthrough camera) as opposed to products like Hololens and Magic Leap which are physics-challenged.

Apple Vision can do things optical AR cannot, such as blocking out objects in the real world. My first take is that you won't get perfect visual acuity for the real world, but optical AR systems definitely waste a lot of light and introduce distortion in the optics. Sufficiently developed, computational AR might improve on your vision, particularly if you are older and presbyopic.

Apple Vision has many of the challenges other AR/VR platforms have had but it is sufficiently different that Hololens and Magic Leap don't imply an automatic death sentence.

I think it's critical that "metaverse" adjacent experiences are available cross-platform, I make these cards

that have QR codes to point to the web. I'd admit that the "web side" is the weakest link in my 3-sided cards right now but really that code should take AR headset users to a "land" or bring some object into the space but there still has to be an experience for phone users which could very much be of an AR nature as you can overlay images from the camera. As dreary as it is Decentraland has a workable experience with a web browser and something like Horizon Worlds would need one to make it worth the effort for individuals and brands to invest in the platform.
I haven’t seen anything about whether this is usable for walking or biking around IRL.
