Well, I wish, but we can’t even get the obviously good Mcguinness blvd redesign done, the 59th street bridge south pathway conversion has been not happening for years, heck they can’t even trim back the weeds that have been overgrowing the bike path on Kent by the navy yard. Not sure nyc can walk or chew gum at separate times.

I like that this comparison shows pg_vector in a positive light.

I understand there’s scaling costs, but being able to treat vectors as simply one more column type is fantastic.

This explains a lot. I wanted to be a good citizen and use IPv6 exclusively internally and keep IPv4 at the edge, then I found I couldn’t create a database without a bunch of IPv4 settings I hadn’t configured.

I feel there is a lack of "local" apps to emulate the old town sqaure, exactly because nobody wants to moderate and track users when a legal issue happens.

If we could make an exception in the law, then it might help create more small tech companies in small towns.

I could be daydreaming here, but: What if we make it legal to run unmoderated social media apps as long as (1) they are operated by a local company with their own software (instead of saas) (2) they function with the same kinds of limitations as a physical town notice board?

> You only buy new when the old one breaks down right?

Are you kidding? You must not live in the US.

People buy new phones despite the old one working. My phone is almost 6 years old. No one I know keeps phones around that long. Becoming rare to see anyone keep one for even 4 years.

I lived on cheap, used furniture. There's a glut of it, because people buy new furniture despite their old ones being just fine.[1]

People often change their cars even though they're not even 10 years old.

They change their shirts even though the old ones are not worn out.

And so on. There are not that many things people keep till they break down.

[1] They cost about 10% of a new one. Heck, do this experiment: Buy an expensive table/bed. Don't even assemble it. Immediately put it on the used market. Note how know one will buy it for even half the price. I have one that I can't sell for 20% of the price. Unless it's some fad item or office chair.
I think that ISP-wide single-stack IPv6 deployments are the key. They throw the legacy IPv4 internet behind a huge NAT, while letting IPv6 internet to function natively. There is an IPv6 address range that represents the totality of the legacy IPv4 addresses, and the IPv4 addresses are translated into that, so from the IPv6 side of the NAT, every IPv6 service looks like it has an IPv6 address. From the IPv4 side, it looks like the your standard carrier-grade NAT, with huge numbers of users sharing IPv4 addresses.

That should simplify the network over dual-stack deploys, plus it makes providing services in "native" IPv6 the more attractive choice over NATted-to-death IPv4.

There are already some ISPs doing this. In Japan, where I live, one of the big three, NTT Docomo transitioned into a deployment like this just last year.
Insulation on a home oven is to protect the kids (by trying to keep the outside from being finger burning hot) and to let the heat slowly dissipate into the kitchen.

A commercial oven runs all day when it is being used, so it will eventually get hot no matter how much insulation you have unless it's somehow cooled or can send waste heat elsewhere.
Yes, almost always. But it's important to point out the edge cases.

Where I'm from the largest power plant in the country is also insanely polluting - Bełchatow power plant burns lignite for electricity and the CO2 emissions are just bananas. The official number is around 1.7kg(!!!!!!!) Of CO2 for every kWh of electricity produced[1]. If you run your electric car using energy from that power plant then yes, it pollutes more than almost any petrol/diesel vehicle bar some sports cars and large trucks.

But that's a curiosity, an edge case, and if anything it proves that Bełchatow should be closed down immediately and not that EVs are a bad thing.

You've linked to ping/ICMP statistics, TCP is a more common use case and thus tends to be more representative of real-world applications. 100ms is a fairly realistic 90th percentile in my experience, 150ms could be in the 95th.
Came to say this. I would add that "powered by electric" also typically means that power was generated at an industrial-scale facility and so is likely inherently more efficient than on-site generation. Powering a vehicle with electricity generated from diesel is (or can be upgraded to be, over time) more efficient than powering the same vehicles using diesel powertrains.

Exactly. Those e-bike delivery drivers are directly incentivized by Grubhub and Doordash to put themselves at risk. The ever increasing demand for instantly delivered meals and the unscrupulousness of those companies has created the present circumstances, and much as it annoys me that I have to be more cautious when walking around, I don't blame the gig workers barely eking out a living.
What this is telling us is that attempting to condense to "it was bricked" has actually introduced ambiguity, and that "brick" doesn't really explain a technical situation.

I was looking at Pinecone, but if I'm reading this correctly, several open source vector DBs can pull off the same or better QPS and are open source.

I really hope Pinecone doesn't become the defacto vector DB. They're getting all the attention, but they're closed and crazily venture funded. That's going to turn into an Oracle situation fast.

In my opinion, that should be a legal issue.

Nowadays, you shouldn't be allowed to advertise "internet access" if ipv6 isn't supported.

Ipv6 is the current protocol. And some sites don't have ipv4.
(Amazon charging an extra for ipv4 is another sign that ipv4 should be a protocol for particular use cases, not for "the internet")

And it should be the same for software and connected hardware.
No ipv6 ? That's not a product that works over the internet.

On a personal side, what I host is only working on ipv6, as my ISP has stable ipv6 but not ipv4, and for the convenience of configuration.

And even cheapo internet plans on mobile and landline support ipv6 by default nowadays. (The government pushed for it)

E2 is just extremely old. E2 are a mixed fleet that contain CPUs as old as Haswell. Haswell launched over 10 years ago. It makes sense that you get a better bang for your buck from using something that isn't gravely obsolete. You should also keep that in mind when benchmarking E2, since it's a grab-bag of CPUs you need to control for the actual CPU type, either by specifying the minimum one you require or assuming the worst.

+1, I've been using OpenSearch (basically Elasticsearch 7.0), and have been pretty happy with the setup so far.

OpenSearch specifically has an edge over Elasticsearch because it supports vectors up to 10k dimensions, whereas ES maxes out at indexing 1024 dimensions, which isn't enough to support OpenAI's 1536 dimension vectors.

And then there's the benefit of it being well documented / Q&A'd, and able to support regular searching, faceting, etc. as well.

If your application isn't real-time (like online gaming or multi-way voice/video), and you aren't making a bunch of requests serially from the client (very rare), I'm convinced you can serve the whole world with at most 2 datacenters - e.g. one in NYC and another in Singapore - coupled with a CDN to serve static assets.

The notion that you need to replicate your infra in 10 regions in order to provide the best user experience sounds like propaganda pushed by cloud companies to make you use more product than you need.

Thanks for reminding me to look at PyPy again. I usually start all my new Python projects with this block of commands that I keep handy:

Create venv and activate it and install packages:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install wheel
pip install -r requirements.txt

I wanted a similar one-liner that I could use on a fresh Ubuntu machine so I can try out PyPy easily in the same way. After a bit of fiddling, I came up with this monstrosity which should work with both bash and zsh (though I only tested it on zsh):

Create venv and activate it and install packages using pyenv/pypy/pip:

if [ -d "$HOME/.pyenv" ]; then rm -Rf $HOME/.pyenv; fi && \
curl https://pyenv.run | bash && \
DEFAULT_SHELL=$(basename "$SHELL") && \
if [ "$DEFAULT_SHELL" = "zsh" ]; then RC_FILE=~/.zshrc; else RC_FILE=~/.bashrc; fi && \
if ! grep -q 'export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' $RC_FILE; then echo -e '\nexport PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' >> $RC_FILE; fi && \
if ! grep -q 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' $RC_FILE; then echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> $RC_FILE; fi && \
if ! grep -q 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' $RC_FILE; then echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> $RC_FILE; fi && \
source $RC_FILE && \
LATEST_PYPY=$(pyenv install --list | grep -P '^ pypy[0-9\.]*-\d+\.\d+' | grep -v -- '-src' | tail -1) && \
LATEST_PYPY=$(echo $LATEST_PYPY | tr -d '[:space:]') && \
echo "Installing PyPy version: $LATEST_PYPY" && \
pyenv install $LATEST_PYPY && \
pyenv local $LATEST_PYPY && \
pypy -m venv venv && \
source venv/bin/activate && \
pip install --upgrade pip && \
pip install wheel && \
pip install -r requirements.txt

Do we really use 2000A cables running around a work site? Are they buried ?
Good. Should honestly charge more. The slow adoption of IPv6 is an embarrassment for everybody in tech. Tech talks of inclusivity yet looking behind the curtains that is not always the case.

Developing countries often do not have the money to buy/lease IPv4 public addresses so therefore they force their subscribers to IPv6. With most of the internet still on ipv4, this makes them inaccessible (ie, github) unless you are technically inclined.
> You cannot even use github without a proxy!

Luckily that does not seem to be an issue here. You only have to pay for a public IPv4 address, you still have a full IPv4 stack and are able to make outbound connections via NAT.
Sorry, but $1500 is not high end. Not even close.

Heuristic: If you can buy it at Lowe's/Home Depot, it probably isn't high end.
People are just automatically assuming that because we had this big leap in LLMs for chat responses, we would have an equivalent jump in LLMs for embedding based retrieval. And to my knowledge there is no evidence for that.
Quite to the contrary the recent gzip paper (even if it was badly done) still shows that retrieval is a very different problem and LLMs are much less extraodinary than expected.

In my mind the whole embedding / vector DB craze will come crushing down.

No. If it was only effective with intermittent use then we wouldn't insulate water heaters as they're 24/7.

Insulation slows heat flow and thus means the hot side rises to closer to the temperature of the heat source and thus there is less energy transfer.
