Does it support working with a custom default system connection yet? I use podman in parallels because I get way better performance than with the qemu podman machine but podman desktop hasn’t worked with it so I stick to the cli which works seamlessly.
That is a huge caveat to leave out of a readme, especially one that claims llama compatibility.
That's right! Under the hood we're doing the same thing when a UDF function is created so its still language agnostic, but for python it offers much nicer and needed wrapper - designed for actual users and not for showcase. If this will translate just as well to other chdb bindings (go, rust, node, bun, etc) allowing them to attach native functions, UDF might become a major force for chdb adoption.

EDIT: why the downvotes?
Got it, so when say a private individual or lab decides that the cost of continuing a line of research or development exceeds the predicted benefit/profit and cancels it, you think that's a missed opportunity regardless of the context? Every invention everywhere should be shipped and never rolled back, no matter if it is profitable (on any time horizon) because eventually there's a chance it could return social benefits?
> The US-based developer claims the AI machine named DABUS autonomously created a food or drink container and a light beacon and that he is entitled to rights over its inventions.

So he used AI to generate a patent. If it's something worth filing a patent for, why not file the patent under his name? AI would just be a tool that helped write the patent. Why did he want the inventor to be the AI? Is it just a PR thing? Trying to establish precedents on who owns the output of AI?

This is a very popular argument. I run into it a lot. I have been criticized for following the speed limit when there were six vehicles spaced across five kilometers. It seems I am expected to speed up to match the one vehicle that passed me.

If nobody obeys the speed limit and it is in fact safer to exceed the speed limit, why do we have speed limits? Why does the government make it illegal to do the safest thing? And why does the public put up with it? Why is there no MADD-like organization protesting the insane government policies that put everybody at risk?

I don't have any data to show that 65 is safer than 75, or to show that 75 is safer than 65. I don't know if speed limits are based on any real safety data. But I'm pretty sure that your rationalization is not. This is my little (misguided) campaign to combat that argument. Even if 95% of the population embrace it as a plausible excuse for breaking rules and to malign rule-keepers.
But it also takes away Tesla's biggest advantage, no? The charging network was a big reason to buy a tesla and now that's gone.

QA vouchers are a scam.

First of all they don’t give them to you immediately, so if you just want to cancel a flight and book another, tough luck. Wait or lose it.

Second they promise an additional percentage if you get the voucher instead of the refund (this was started in Covid so people would not request a monetary refund). Then you go use the voucher and lo and behold: the voucher was not for 100% of the fare, “some fees are unrefundable”, and that extra percentage just about restores the fare to the original price you spent.

So it’s nice that they offer the voucher, but why lie about any extras? This bit me in the ass when instead of requesting a “full refund within 24 hours” I just requested the voucher instead, locking me into Qatar unnecessarily.

Objectively false in so many domains. Americans aren’t smarter than other people. But we are very good at organising resources for novel pursuits.
I can forget that you were my customer, but I can’t forget that there was a customer. That quickly turns into tax evasion, for one thing.

Much of the user information we acquire is the result of greed, nosiness, or laziness. If deleting users is difficult for you, that’s an architectural problem that has next to nothing to do with my comment.

The world is absolutely full of rules that have exactly one exception. If they have two we apply the Rule of Three and either fix it or change it back to two. I have absolutely no qualms about treating user data as the exception here.

If you’re Amazon, you don’t even need much of the PII until checkout time. Collecting or looking up that data up early is a security risk. Checkouts are going to be orders of magnitude fewer operations than your browsing traffic. When the order of magnitude changes, the solutions often change. And lastly, checkouts are when you make money. Expensive operations, like inserting into a table with fragmentation problems, are much easier to justify when they are attached to revenue events.

An ad campaign that falls flat can bankrupt you. A fire or earthquake can bankrupt you. A fancy and unusable site relaunch can bankrupt you. Spending a little money at the point of sale cannot.

Ask HN: Functional Programming vets. Thoughts on FP abstractions vs. OOP ones?
There has been a lot of criticism of clean code and inheritance in recent years, ranging from too many layers of abstraction, to performance issues. I've recently started programming in F# and they use a lot of Small types, Records, Discriminated unions etc. My understanding is this is common in all functional languages. I don't have enough experience with FP to say anything other than they seem nice. But by judiciously using them will I fall into the same traps as people do in a heavily Object Oriented code base?

Efficient Large Language Model Inference with Limited Memory
NACS is protocol agnostic. Cars in Europe have different plugs.

Tesla will use their protocol and support CCS on chargers.

What Tesla offers to other brands in North America is much more advanced.

New cars will be able to see on the map how many stalls are available etc.

Payments integration etc.

It's a far more deeper integration and I guess that's the real big deal that needs to be standardized.

Tesla got the best-in-class charging experience, and finally, in 1 year, other brands can have somewhat matching capabilities.
iPhones work but foreign (outside of Japan) purchased Android devices don't
In fast evolving fields it’s always all about sociology, not canon or pedagogy. Meaning in new fields is created in community (constructionism).

You need to plug into the community and overhear what people are talking about (HN is such a community). You’ll also get a sense of the linguistic subculture (acronyms, lingo etc) much like you learn to talk hip hop if you’re into the hip hop subculture. Much of it will be noise but overall you’ll get a sense of what the community cares about, which helps you narrow what you need to focus on. The subreddit r/localllama is the watering hole for hobbyists right now.

If you need a primer, this is a good guide.

In this particular case, I find it helpful to do syntopical reading (per Mortimer Adler) around LLMs not AI in general. Mamba is interesting to me because I have a background in optimal control and state space models are my bread an butter and it’s fascinating to see them applied in this way.

Side: I’m in my 40s and this isn’t my first rodeo. There will always be new fields and trends emerging — I’ve been through several waves of this (cloud, big data, ML, data science etc) where posts like yours are commonplace. But there is no need to be frustrated. Overhearing conversations is one way to make sense of them instead of feeling lost and waiting for someone to summarize and explain everything to you.

The same applies to academic fields.

Ps also consider you might not need to be on the cutting edge. If you’re not trying to build leading edge stuff, it’s good to wait for the dust to settle — you’ll waste less time following dead ends while the community is figuring out what’s good.
My experience has been that the documentation value of a good test suite is its primary value, by a mile.

It’s documentation a machine can validate, which is the best kind of documentation.

(Static types are documentation a machine can validate, that also happen to be very good communication tools)
If you gave anyone $750 they'd have similar incentive to lie.

I would expect that in the near future EVs become commodities based on a small handful of licensed platforms. Owning the charging network is a nice hedge against losing the battle to become one of the platforms.
I think they will keep installing them for another few years. NEVI requires it and there are still quite a few CCS1 cars on the road. All of the cars that are switching will still ship with the CCS1 port next year too. They don't fully switch until 2025.
Interesting. I tried Bard a few times and never found it useful.

Where I live (Tenth largest city in Spain, so not that big) I'm pretty sure I can track misconceptions about OOP to whoever taught that class in the only university that had a CS degree around here some 20 years ago. I've seen like half a dozen teachers saying the same stuff explained in the same way and I'm sure none of them understand OOP at all. Only one was able to explain why getters and setters ought to be used besides saying "it's the standard" and to provide an actual, reasonable use case for it rather than the tired examples of "Yeah OOP is cool because since both cats and dogs eat and have 4 legs you can keep a lot of the code together rather than duplicate it".

Software development is reliant on self-learning, but still, some education can be outright damaging.
Voltage is solely a matter of how the transformer is wound. In the US you get a choice when you contact the power company, 208, 240, 440, and 480 are all voltages I've personally seen in the US, depending on the area (not all utilities will provide all voltages, so there are some I haven't seen)
Many say that IBM is a quarter-to-quarter company, but that wouldn't be true, as it still has some longe-term high-bet investments as the Quantum Computer.

My understanding is that Android phones purchased in Japan can activate a Suica card. Foreign iPhones are able to register Suica without issue. The only hiccup I had was loading a balance on Suica wasn’t possible with Visa cards. This was the case during my trip this past October.
> trying go-big-or-go-home entrepreneurship for 4 years

I respect the grind, you know, I think we're just two dudes with very different aspirations. I have 0 entrepreneurial desire and am fine with working for someone else and in turn getting a paycheck monthly. If I do things next to my job they're either an experiment, something for my homelab or the typical "hi 4ggr0, someone i know needs a new website, you're an IT guy, right?". I also get an ick when people are over-enthusiastically entrepreneury, don't know why.

> Internet is cold

Yeah, I knew that my post would probably sound very condescending, but I don't think you're a bad guy based on the things you do :) I just got a "buy my courses, use my products, and get rich"-vibe. Probably also due to my own biases. Sorry if it hit too hard! I'll buy you a beverage of your choice if we ever meet.

Exactly in the same place as you with Elastic Search (8.11). Went down the vector path to get better matches for adjectives, verbs and negations ( "room with no skylight" vs. "room with skylights" & "room with a large skylight"). Different dataset obviously, but I think I get slightly better results than your examples and it might be worth looking for a different sentence transformer (I tried a few and settled on roberta-base-nli-stsb-mean-tokens).
Could mean many things. One metric that works for me is how well ads and promos translate.
The trick was to get perfectly perpendicular to the face of the spacestation that had the docking slot. But that was very hard to do visually. You had to fly directly away, turn around and watch the space station very carefully as it rotated to see if the rotation was symettrical from your point of view. Then approach slowly, match spin, but dont go too slow that actually made it harder. But even then would be game over one time in 20 or so.
Ah yes, it might be what they mean. I assumed inheritance. Thanks.

Yes totally, I do mention things I don’t like in reviews, but “great stay, but no coffee maker (****)” seems excessive.
I've rented several Teslas, mostly with Avis but some with Hertz. All of them are ridden very hard (thanks Uber) and, consequently, had heaps of issues.

Every single rental from Avis had a non-OEM replacement front or side window. One of them was replaced so wrongly, you could feel the air leaking through even when it was closed.

Almost every single rental also had two or more budget tires on them which tend to be louder and less energy-saving.

One Tesla had its rear camera pointed downward way too much. Unfortunately, because this car was Vision-only and lacked ultrasonics, and Vision-only Park Assist is slightly better than absolutely fucking useless, backing it in was a 2002-esque shit show every time.

This isn't unusual for rental car companies. They do the barest minimum repairs on their cars while charging you 10x the price if the damage is your fault. Scam life.

The Teslas I rented on Turo, however, were in great shape, including the Tesla that made me want to buy my own Model 3 (which is still going great 90k miles later).

That said, when I financed our Model 3 in 2020, there really weren't any other EVs and the non-Tesla charging network was practically non-existent. It's a completely different world now. I've rented many non-Tesla EVs. All of them are much better driving experiences. I'm particularly fond of the Chevy Bolt for a simple, cheap, no-bullshit commuter EV and the Genesis GV90 or Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin for something plushier.

Making Software Reliable: The Importance of Testability
Would you recommend it to a casual fantasy reader who's never really ventured beyond Sanderson/Rothfuss/etc?
That's an argument over semantics, having to preface any usage of "software" with a disclaimer about an exact meaning of it is not only cumbersome but pretty damn boring for any online discussion.

I don't think the original comment was made in a way that this nitpicking adds anything to the discussion. Cars have software for 30-40+ years if we interpret the way you are interpreting so it makes sense to ignore that meaning and actually reply to what was meant by the comment...

It's just very tiresome to have these semantics bickering when it's pretty obvious what was meant.

If Tesla hasn't played nice they would have lost too as everyone else rolled out the CCS standard cars networks would have responded and most chargers wouldn't support your Tesla.

That sounds about right. They provide a script to combine their "Predictor" weights to the original models, but I don't see anything obvious in the front page of the Github repo about how to create those weights.

A 10x speed improvement is really impressive. If this kind of improvement is reproducible across other models, then presumably identifying hot and cold neurons for inference optimization should go on to become a normal part of model development process.
