Exactly. That's the point. It is beneficial only when you have a huge number of requests relative to the number of platform threads.

The idea is that you can map a million of these virtual threads on to a small number of platform threads, and the JVM will schedule the work for you, to achieve maximum throughput without needing to write any complicated code. Virtual threads are for high throughput on concurrent blocking requests.

EDIT: the sequential calls to "callRemote" still process in sequence, blocking on each call. Don't get confused there. But the overall HTTP request itself is running on a virtual thread and does not block other HTTP requests while waiting for the callRemote invocations to complete.
The internet doesn't interpret anything - it's a just a bunch of networks and technologies to pass packets around with some level of redundancy (originally to withstand nuclear strikes on the comms centers).

> ... if dual-licensed GPL was the best way to go, it wouldn't be the case that entities outside of MySQL/Oracle (e.g. AWS) were capturing a huge amount of MySQL's value/revenue ... Why else would development be shifted to the managed-service-only, closed-source MySQL Heatwave product?

And do you realise that you are comparing corporates with two completely different philosophies and business model? It's absolutely in character for Oracle to use the loophole in the older GPL (that has since been fixed by the AGPL) to try to make MySQL closed-source again by offering it through a SaaS infrastructure. Oracle has never been a champion of the opensource movement, while the original owners of MySQL were. It is the same with IBM, who are now the owners of Red Hat Linux. And that shows in how they ran / run their business.

We are discussing about opensource software business models only. Not open-source and closed-source ones (it should be a no-brainer that closed-source software business models are the most successful and profitable ones).

> I mentioned several concerns specifically about MariaDB in my previous reply and you did not address those at all.

Simply because it is irrelevant to our discussion. The success or failures of MySQL or MariaDB or Oracle's MySQL was/is not just solely because of its license and there are many other factors behind it (for example, MariaDB earned a lot of scorn from open source developers because they felt betrayed after its original source - MySQL - ended up in Oracle's hand). Nevertheless, MySQL is a great example of a commercially successful example of a dual-licensed GPL product.

I have enough business experience, and a good understanding of open source software to understand its strength and limitation in a commercial setting. Honestly, you do need a lecture for not being able to see the obvious:

1. As per your own confessions, a competitor was able to use your open source code without sharing subsequent work on the codebase. This would obviously have never happened with the AGPL license, as the license compels others who distribute the software (even as SaaS) to share the source code.

2. You tried to change the codebase and / or license to make it more difficult for them to fork your code and use it. This shows your own confusion regarding the open source philosophy and your business model. Your code was used by others in the spirit of the open source license you chose. And yet, you continue to assert you are the wronged party?

3. It is also easy to see that you (wrongly) chose a permissive opensource license out of self-interest to your business (hoping to attract more developer contributions and then close source the product later when it becomes profitable, just as your competitor did) than out of an equal commitment to the open source philosophy. Your competitor outwitted you because you weren't knowledgable about licenses, your own business goals and business model.

DNA methylation networks underlying mammalian traits
yeah, if the LLM gives me 2 truths that are beyond the documentation, like an edge case or maybe an example in a better describes way for me to grok, and one false thing, usually the false thing is so bad i can tell it's false or it's truthy but the value from the two truths exceeds the negative value of the falsehood.

Generally speaking though you can also cut back on hallucination by asking for a source from a second LLM or using good retrospections and adding system messages to ensure if it doesn't know an answer to say so and not make one up.

Really, I think hallucination is the wrong word bullshitting or gaslighting might be better. You're asking it something and it thinks you want an answer any answer so if it doesn't know it makes it up. Similar to people who confess to crimes they didn't do because of distressful interrogation tactics.
I would bet good money that, as a use case becomes more niche, an LLM's output becomes more wrong. If that's true, your assertion would be wrong.

I don’t think you have any legal recourse, even if training isn’t considered fair use (which it seems to be) I don’t think you can copyright having knowledge of how to use a library or piece of software (maybe the specific way you write the documentation is but it will infer it from other sources instead)
Well yes, when there are thousands of possible configurations to accomodate the vast majority of potential users, and to keep confusion to a minimum by assigning a unique place in the UI to every possible option, it has to be spread out a lot.

Even the most buried possible setting in iOS is 9 clicks or less, and for the bigger features usually a lot less as you've demonstrated, hence it's not correct to call it 'hidden'.

>There are a few youtube health influencers in the minority that have suggested fasting is not good for you long term, including intermittent fasting.

Peter Attia was one of the biggest proponents of fasting, and did regular TRF along with periodic multi-day water-only fasts, but stopped completely after his DEXA scans showed drastic muscle loss, even with regular strength training. Multiple studies have shown that when used as a weight loss tool, it's no better than regular caloric restrictions, and that it actually results in worse body composition, skewing the weight loss towards muscle and away from fat: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

>In this RCT, a prescription of TRE did not result in weight loss when compared with a control prescription of 3 meals per day. Time-restricted eating did not change any relevant metabolic markers. Finally, there was a decrease in ALM in the TRE group compared with CMT. Together, the results of this study (1) do not support the efficacy of TRE for weight loss, (2) highlight the importance of control interventions, and (3) offer caution about the potential effects of TRE on ALM. Future studies should be aimed at understanding the effects of early vs late TRE and protein intake or timing as a means to offset the loss in ALM.

ALM = Appendicular (i.e., limb) Lean Mass.
Yeah, the non-parity RAID modes have been safe for a pretty long time, as long as you RTFM when something goes wrong instead of assuming the recovery procedures match what you'd expect coming from a background of traditional RAID or how ZFS does it. I've been using RAID-1 (with RAID1c3 for metadata since that feature became available) on a NAS for over a decade now without loss of data despite loss of more drives over the years than the array started out with.
> Despite the volume of documentation, my documentation would still be just a tiny blip in the amount of information in the LLM, and it will still pull in information from elsewhere to answer questions.

I sympathise. I've recently discovered that apparently I have enough Internet clout that ChatGPT knows about me. As in I can carefully construct a prompt and it will unmistakably reference me in particular. Don't even need to provide my name in the prompt.

Except, every fucking detail of what it "knows" about me is 100% false, and there's nothing I can do to correct it. I'm from a wrong country, I did things in my career that I absolutely didn't, etc.

Needless to say, I also blocked its crawler.

This company has their own proprietary heavy fluid called R-19. Their formula isn't public, but presumably they understand the success of their company depends on it being affordable.

> No idea what the article is talking about wrt being able to utilize lower heights

It means that, if pumped storage starts to look worth it to you (given budget, etc.) with tanks of size V and a height difference of H, then with their system it might be worth it if the tallest hill available to you is H/2.5.

Or you can keep the height the same and reduce the volume. Or keep both the same and increase the storage. The point is that they claim to offer a better trade-off.
We are all myopic in our own ways.

Similar to CAs on the web in RPKI a TA (Trust Anchor) will sign a ROA (Route Origin Authorization X.509 certificate) to certify an ASN can originate routes within an address space.

There are five TAs which are RIRs (Regional Internet Registries) AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and RIPE.

So similar to how your web browser can determine a website is valid or not by checking the certificate is signed by a CA. A network can determine a route is valid or not by checking the ROA is signed by a TA.

There are lots of recent fun papers inverting the pattern going around a curved painted corner or through a hole accommodating the string holding up your blinds or whatnot to get a detailed view of what's on the other side.

I feel you, I am an ex-CEO who didn't network very well when I had the chance. I'm at an early stage of a second career in engineering after several years break.

The more I write about my CEO/founder experience the less valuable it feels, and the more I've condensed it. I don't know how much of my thinking applies to your situation. But I worry that CEOs naturally come across as jacks-of-all-trades - I definitely see that in the mega-graphic on your first CV.

I once advertised a Product Owner position and interviewed an ex-CEO / inventor who wanted to tell me all about product sourcing in China, the software stack, managing an engineering team etc. ... very little chat about the job I'd advertised, which was probably my fault for not narrowing the interview earlier.

I remember thinking - I'm sure he can do it, but he's going to be a handful. I'm torn between worrying that this was ageism or just a bad impression, as if he'd said "I have done much more difficult jobs than the one I'm applying for". That is an easy impression to make by accident.

Random realisations about my own search:

1) My previous career led me to being over-familiar, and I'm working hard on fixing that without losing (what I hope is) a personable voice. That is definitely off-putting to an interviewer.

2) Even the stuff I'm proudest of must will be sotto voce, something that an interested interviewer can pick up on among a CV ruthlessly tailored for the situation. As a CEO you're used to selling everything about yourself; as an interviewee anything irrelevant is off-putting.

3) I have the luxury of not needing a new role soon, so I can focus on making enthusiastic applications that I'm really interested in. If I made 1000 applications I can't imagine how I'd express my any genuine interest in any of them.

Good luck, and please let us know how you get on.

Probably more that observation and promotion is 1000x better than 100 years vs planet warming. 100 years ago i would have no idea any of these things happened because they didn't directly affect me and the threshold for reporting it outside the affected area was dramatically higher due to cost constraints.

I get why people might want white noise in their earbuds, but why would you want to stream it? You can easily download a multi-hour recording of, say, a waterfall, and just play it from your device.

And who in heck would listen to white noise with ads? Wouldn't the ads completely destroy the intended effect of the noise?

This is a phenomenon I really don't understand.
> bizarre

Best compliment so far. In my professional circles it might even be kind of boring or let's say, logically evident, to a lot of very experienced or intelligent people.

Corporate, eh, I mean I'm sure some stereotypical evil corporate people from a '90s movie would act as if they totally love it & get why ads are amazing...in that sense it might be pretty on the nose...

But these days I think the old adbusters take is kind of out of touch...anti-ad by itself isn't really nuanced enough for tractability in public discourse these days.

The comments are all hand-written, no LLM etc. Let's say artisanal, organic, ok I'll stop there
I don't disagree with any of that. Most of the other developed countries though have some kind of government or corporate (in the case of Japan) safety net that China lacks. The only example that I'm aware of that lacks either is South Korea, which has extremely high elder poverty rates compared to OECD peers.

I guess the word I was looking for to describe the Chinese financial system is 'immature.' It is unfortunately not uncommon for some Chinese firm to get delisted for accounting fraud or some other type of impropriety, so investing in the indexes is a worse idea than it is in many other countries. And then there's all the marketing of dubious financial products that people inevitably lose their savings on and protest; before people swarming the Evergrande HQ demanding their money it was P2P lending and many other scams.

Is not a view informed by real experiences a more useful one than pure objectivity? Take the real experiences, subtract emotional weight/bias (as best as possible), disclaimer it with "based on real view" or however and I think that's a relatively well-formed useful piece of knowledge to disseminate. It is not an axiom, but a data point.

In this situation particularly, a white noise podcast is meant purely for the emotional pleasure of the listener. Subjective experience is _the_ optimizing factor. Ads interrupt that and are better placed where someone wants to be engaged in that way. This does not contradict that there is a _general_ necessity for ads. It's a refutation of this particular placement.

In addition, this implementation detail might help in gaining some insight: "The synchronous networking Java APIs, when run in a virtual thread, switch the underlying native socket into non-blocking mode. When an I/O operation invoked from Java code does not complete immediately (the native socket returns EAGAIN - “not ready” / “would block”), the underlying native socket is registered with a JVM-wide event notification mechanism (a Poller), and the virtual thread is parked. When the underlying I/O operation is ready (an event arrives at the Poller), the virtual thread is unparked and the underlying socket operation is retried."

I can't rearrange tiles. That's a key feature. I can't hide non-video participants.

I can't detach the chat window.
