The demand for the huge calculations for the design of nuclear weapons started in WW II already:

"The staff in the T-5 group included recruited women who had degrees in mathematics or physics, as well as, wives of scientists and other workers at Los Alamos. According to Their Day in the Sun: Women of the Manhattan Project, some of the human computers were Mary Frankel, Josephine Elliot, Beatrice “Bea” Langer, Augusta “Mici” Teller, Jean Bacher, and Kay Manley. While some of the computers worked full time, others, especially those who had young children, only worked part time.

General Leslie R. Groves, the Director of the Manhattan Project, pressured the wives of Los Alamos to work because he felt that it was a waste of resources to accommodate civilians. As told by Kay Manley, the wife of Los Alamos physicist John Manley, the recruitment of wives can also be traced to a desire to limit the housing of “any more people than was absolutely necessary.” This reason makes sense given the secretive nature of Los Alamos and the Manhattan Project. SEDs, a group of drafted men who were to serve domestically using their scientific and engineering backgrounds, also worked in the T division."
I'm not sure if you're saying one shouldn't use a SQL database at all or you're saying that using SQL as a user facing query language is bad. In this case, I think it's better to consider the user facing language as a simple language that roughly looks like SQL. The author has exposed a very trivial amount of the power of SQL, so a lot of languages would fit the bill.

The one that sticks with me is “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”. (I’m sorry I can’t remember where I heard the quote).

I grew up in a place where a lot of people were addicted to drugs and alcohol and where poverty was pretty bad. I would see how they all encouraged each other to continue on their paths to self-destruction through their friendships, and I guess I was already quite picky about who my friends were but after hearing that quote I have definitely become more picky about friendships.

Then someone else once made a remark to me (which I can’t remember word for word to quote it) about watching crabs in a bucket, how they could all escape but they keep pulling each other down.

Those two quotes/concepts together have meant for me, friendship is never really a strong priority. I’m really not interested in feeling popular, and I don’t tend to struggle with loneliness because I see people all the time. I also have family members that I’m extremely close to. Especially my brother - who just gets me.

I grew up a bit of a loner and I struggled to make friends as a kid because I was super shy. People never realised I was shy because I was also super loud and talkative when I found people I felt comfortable talking to… but I generally won’t talk to new people unless they talk to me first. So maybe those quotes resonated because I was already destined to be a bit of a loner anyway and extremely selective with my friends… but I think when you think about how friendships can start to define the environments you choose to put yourself in, I think it’s a pretty life changing quote because perhaps you could change your life for the better, by changing the people you surround yourself by.

Russian is my native language and it does also have this distinction (ты/вы). For me, there's not really any issue with that, not so much that I would want to remove this distinction. It's very clear to me most of the time which pronoun to call someone. Yes, it depends on a lot of context, but I've been making these decisions every day for all my life so it's not that hard.

In your example about work, I'd just always use "ты" without giving it a second thought, and wouldn't mind others using it to address me. Maybe it's just our culture that has a more lax attitude towards it, I don't know.

The only case that I find kinda cringy is when people (rarely) call bartenders and waiters "ты". For me it's very clear that when a person you don't know serves you, it should be "вы".

Probably not. English is messy when it comes to pronunciation and irregular verbs, not exactly the easiest language to learn.

Both of these clauses are being facially violated here. The clause of interstate commerce to be a protected system is trivially satisfied. Beeper additionally has taken commercial advantage in excess of $5k.

Yeah totally right. FWIW I pair Xbox game pass (a subscription service like netflix) with Geforce now and it is great. Xbox game pass has some good titles included legit AAA things (unlike stadia)

I am puzzled how little people know outside of CEE region. Of course it can. CEE is not high trust society it's been decimated by years of communism and the oligarchy got reinforced with the coming of western european investments.

CEE politicians are crooks that believe cattle (the voters) are to be exploited and they cant compete with the developed world anyway.

3m out of 20m of romanians have left the country and there's no way investments in education and health care would make a dent in this.
You're not going to net anywhere close to 800K. As the article notes, they're talking 300K base + 500K equity (which is illiquid) at the 'highest end.' (In reality the highest end is likely quite a bit higher, but with a wide and thinly distributed band).

- ... the 300K base is 177K after tax.

- ... the 500K equity is ~250K after tax.

Financial independence assuming the stock doesn't massively appreciate by the time you see liquidity is 5-10 years away. I mean this is good do not misunderstand me. There's a big difference between making 800K gross where 62.5% is illiquid and 800K net you can spend any time.

[edit] This isn't much different than getting a staff+ role at a MAANG, which includes liquidity, but of course upside depends in your view of the relative stock performance in the coming years. Also, this is well above median, we're probably talking top 5-10% of talent.
Keep reading. The entire article is a list of reasons why Unix is bad (and suggestions for how to fix it).
If this reinvents half of postgrest then postgrest is a very small piece of software (I don't think it is). I think the author has restricted themselves to such a small portion of SQL, it's probably not really worth comparing it to that, it's really just a small bespoke language transformer to SQL, and this is not so hard to implement.

But, even if they did reinvent half of postgrest, there are plenty of reasons this might be the right choice given more contextual information, tech decisions aren't made in a vacuum, it just might not be possible to use postgrest.

It's not even unregulated, libel and defamation are illegal for example. They've just grown up with those speech restrictions and so they don't view them as a threat. This is the essence of conservatism, whatever exists is good and whatever is different is bad. Reasons are then created to justify the predetermined conclusion that the current balance of speech restrictions is perfectly correct.

The trouble with SQL is that it is designed around the idea of being able to execute many queries without any overhead. No problem when you are within the confines of local memory. Manageable when you are in a well connected datacenter. But you will quickly find yourself in a world of hurt when you have clients on flaky, high latency mobile connections.

Okay, so now you find some way to bundle many queries, with allowances for connecting the result of one query to another, into a single request with all the results in a single response. Congratulations, you just recreated GraphQL.
Do you really think this is a good option? Even if you do properly enforce row-level security (Postgresql supports this), you're still exposing a lot of power to the user. They could write some pretty rough queries that could make guaranteeing QoS difficult or impossible. Row-level security is not easy to get right, as well. Maybe there is a library that can help you set this up.

... because we have been working to this moment for often 10+ years.

People that were working on this stuff for a long time were not in it for money. It used to be a more artsy/philosophical field, and the money people moved on a long time ago for Enterprise edition Java or something.

On top of that, quitting now would feel like quitting a marathon during the final victory lap. If it turns out that there is still a significant gap between here and the end goal of AI research (which is different for different people), many people will retire. But lately, it has been feeling like we're on a final stretch.
The goods are cheaper but not that much.

Most goods like food and furniture are made by large Western European companies( mostly german and austrian) who utilize economy of scale to make those and can ship and deliver them in large quantities to shops that they THEMSELVES control.

I think the parent comment mentioned 5 minutes because this is how long the article says these new batteries will take to refuel. Although it's quite likely the article made this figure up.

In any case, it's a redundant point because it's unlikely a battery fluid system would be designed in the same way as old fashioned gas pumps. More likely, it would clamp on and you can sit in the car or take a small walk while it does it's work. Gas pumps are designed to be handheld because they are fast. If it took 5 minutes to pump gas, we would probably have redesigned these by now too.
In my humble opinion, it would benefit all better if we standardized something like jql (jira query language, so the user layer) first. From experience, many who find sql too complex have no problem with writing complicated jql queries. it's both easy to use and a great first step to writing actual SQL. I wish it was a standard like json.

This is such an elitist take of the situation.

One person may not be gullible enough to unintentionally run a malicious application, but once you extend it to a group of people, the claim will likely no longer be true. What if your coworker(s) accidentally ran a rogue X11 application, their passwords got keylogged, and now your company systems are compromised?

And the above paragraph only operates under the assumption that you, the one person, is perfect, who never makes mistakes, never runs malicious applications, and runs on a distro that is never compromised, providing programs developed by people who are security-minded.

You might have been compromised never knowing it.

Somebody will start a project to rebuild Kafka in Rust, hopefully open-sourced.

People will over-do it putting things on the edge, freak out about the pricing, then scale back, and there will be backlash because of poor implementation putting too much data on edge. This will happen to companies who try to get in on it without understanding why they want/need it.

The idea of pseudo-elimination of loading on the web via using a state machine and pre-caching every state transition within X taps locally will become more popular/known.

There will be an AI model trained specifically on propositional logic that’ll surpass the abilities of any other current models in reasoning and mathematics.

Somebody will come up with a law about the speed of AI’s development and correlate it with Moore’s law.

Any taxes paid in CEE are used by crooks to enrich themselves and eventually get back to you in Germany when those people buy luxury goods like MB,BMW cars.

You pay high taxes but you get a semi decent education and health care services. That much money pays for millions of people coming from Romania to your country to work there and provide you with services.

Those people are irreplaceable for Romania.

Not the TLC, but I agree with you. The biggest costs in healthcare are not insurance company or hospital dividends, or even pharmaceuticals. The biggest costs are the wages paid to doctors, nurses, and administrators. The sad part is that very little efforts seems to be directed to improving the patient experience, such as might be accomplished by introducing patient advocates or guides.
I am using a similar approach to filter network flows, but the language is just SQL-like (notably because users may not be familiar with all the quirks of SQL) and gets translated to ClickHouse SQL. The language is exposed to the end user, so there is completion and syntax highlighting. Since the result is open source, you get a complete example (notably to evaluate how complex this is).

See https://vincent.bernat.ch/en/blog/2023-sql-like-language-fil....

this is why we go full circle all the time.
1) devs expose plain sql query to the users
2) devs realize it's a bad idea
3) 10 years later, a dev thinks maybe it's not that bad
4) full circle

1) devs use the server to generate html response to the users
2) devs think maybe it's better to do everything on the frontend side instead
3) 10 years and 250k frameworks later, devs think maybe it should be done on the server side instead
As mentioned above, I don't think you'd need to train your own model for this (or for most use cases of this, anyway). You'd use a RAG.

I've tried out working with custom documents in two different ways for different types of data:

* Once using LlamaIndex + Chroma[0] to transcribe and then conversationally query video contents (using GPT 3.5 or 4 as the backing LLM).

* Once using GPT Plus, uploading long-form PDFs of my own fiction books to the GPT's knowledge base. I use this to help me remember character names and timelines (not always accurate, so results need to be treated with caution) and help brainstorm story or tech ideas for my world.

Both work for what I'm using them for. I feel like option one is more customizable and easier to tweak for the types of results I would want, if I have concrete requirements about what kind of output I'm looking for. Option two has a lower barrier to entry and is just a little lower effort (no need to run your own app).

For the next iteration, I'd like to try out AWS Bedrock and compare the workflow and results.
