I've been running ECS for about 5 years now. It has come a long way from a "lightweight" orchestration tool into something thats actually pretty impressive. The recent new changes to the GUI are also helpful for people that don't have a ton of experience with orchestration.

We have moved off of it though, you can eventually need more features than it provides. Of course that journey always ends up in Kubernetes land, so you eventually will find your way back there.

Logging to Cloudwatch from kubernetes is good for one thing... audit logs. Cloudwatch in general is a shit product compared to even open source alternatives. For logging you really need to look at Fluentd or Kibana or DataDog or something along those lines. Trying to use Cloudwatch for logs is only going to end in sadness and pain.
Easy. I made tests on desktop core i7-7700 with 64G DDR4-2400. And I've tested 13B..30B..70B models on it, and you may imagine, how easy to manage how many CPU cores used.

Answer is - it is really works, but slow (about 0.5..1 tokens per second, with near 100% CPU usage).

i7-7700 is good weighted machine, but before I few times achieved memory speed bounds with highly optimized software. And it looks very different. When use all cores, I got somewhere about 50% of CPU usage.

BTW Llama.CPU is very good software.

Well, historically, we didn't. Infant mortality is continuously at record lows. Modern medicine means that we can handle many things that can/do go wrong.

We're effectively propagating that difficulty and it compounds generationally (imagine your bloodline has unusually large heads...) but we're smart enough to circumvent fate and the net result would appear to be positive.

Much of what humans do approaches the limit of cutting off the nose to spite the face. Is life better than it has ever been, practically speaking, everywhere? With some exception granted to the last couple of years, yes, and even without, probably yes.

I find it rather disturbing to think about. Diversification is really our only long term hope (hedging so to speak) and in many ways we're constantly moving away from that. If we were suddenly space faring colonizers, or if there were another dark age, then that would cease to be true, for better or for worse.

Oh, thats true about it being unexported. I hadn’t considered that.
Except that smart phones already had a concrete use case beforehand (web browsing/checking emails on the go, instant messaging + phone calls) which only got better with advancements in technology (ie, iPhone). This is putting the cart before the horse. There are no great applications on phones that would be improved with new hardware nor are there unique applications that can only be done on the hardware without the phone.
That's an odd view, considering that the main problem with ICE vehicles was not that they failed to be efficient, reliable and cost effective. The problem was that they spewed CO2, warming up the Earth, with disastrous consequences.

That's the chief problem EVs are trying to address, not reliability or cost.

The average consumer doesn't care about those things. She cares about whether her gas prices are cutting into her budget though, and that's the problem that EVs are solving for her.
The article says nothing about the cost of shipping gas across the globe. It only says 44% of exports are by pipeline.

If shipping makes it an order of magnitude more expensive, then there is no global price.

Why doesn't it make sense? Because you want more money? What do you think will happen long term to our talent pool?

What I have personally seen, and I can only speak from my own perspective is that more and more people offshore and outsource their work. Someone gets good enough at something, and then they outsource it but not domestically they outsource it out of the country. And now those effects are compounding in a major way. Our culture doesn't value craft and we are continually devaluing it.

> come up with the most efficient data structure to store highly sparse data (say vector), that will need to be access only sequentially.

There's something even more efficient -- a sparse array. I worked in the sparse linear algebra space, and you can gain a lot from sparsity. Add this to your fiddle:

from scipy.sparse import csc_array
sp_array = csc_array(my_list, dtype=np.int32)
print(SZ, " values sparse array size: ", get_obj_size(sp_array))

And you'll get this result:

10000 values dict size: 501060
10000 values list size: 426620
10000 values array size: 80056
10000 values sparse array size: 80276

EDIT: looks like I was wrong -- I made a mistake in the code. The sparse structure is actually larger.

Also in my earlier result of 280 bytes, the get_obj_size might be reading the metadata part of the data structure. 10k int32 objects (4 bytes) each will not compress to 280 bytes.

But my point in general holds -- sparse structures are usually more efficient to work with than dense structures, especially when you have really large matrices.
I bet you can get pretty far with just ec2 and autoscaling, or comparable tech in other cloud platforms. With a managed database service.

Postgres is great as a queue, but this post doesn't really get into the features that differentiate it from just polling, say SQL Server for tasks.

For me, the best features are:

* use LISTEN to be notified of rows that have changed that the backend needs to take action on (so you're not actively polling for new work)
* use NOTIFY from a trigger so all you need to do is INSERT/UPDATE a table to send an event to listeners
* you can select using SKIP LOCKED (as the article points out)
* you can use partial indexes to efficiently select rows in a particular state

So when a backend worker wakes up, it can:

* LISTEN for changes to the active working set it cares about
* "select all things in status 'X'" (using a partial index predicate, so it's not churning through low cardinality 'active' statuses)
* atomically update the status to 'processing' (using SKIP LOCKED to avoid contention/lock escalation)
* do the work
* update to a new status (which another worker may trigger on)

So you end up with a pretty decent state machine where each worker is responsible for transitioning units of work from status X to status Y, and it's getting that from the source of truth. You also usually want to have some sort of a per-task 'lease_expire' column so if a worker fails/goes away, other workers will pick up their task when they periodically scan for work.

This works for millions of units of work an hour with a moderately spec'd database server, and if the alternative is setting up SQS/SNS/ActiveMQ/etc and then _still_ having to track status in the database/manage a dead-letter-queue, etc -- it's not a hard choice at all.

If you're looking for successful businesses, indie hackers like levelsio show you how far you can get with very simple architectures. But that's solo dev work - once you have a team and are dealing with larger-scale data, things like infrastructure as code, orchestration, and observability become important. Kubernetes may or may not be essential depending on what you're building; it seems good for AI companies, though.
If you want leaner software, the first thing you must do is eliminate the vast throngs of users who are generating the demand for the bloated software, such that making that kind of software becomes the economically preferable activity.

This issue has analogies elsewhere. Why anything sucks at scale in any way has to do with large numbers of other people.

Why can't you find a good quality Widget at any price, only cheap ones? There aren't enough of you who want the better Widgets, so it's not worth it. And when you say any price, you don't actually mean it anyway.
> Plus, we get to keep know how and avoid lock-in, which are extremely important things in the long term.

So much this. The "keep know how" has been so greatly avoided over the past 10 years, I hope people with these skills start getting paid more as more companies realize the cost difference.
I've made my own! This was 15 years ago or so, in Los Angeles. It was fun as a hobby project; I started a bunch, harvesting wild yeasts from my kitchen, outdoors, etc. A couple turned out pretty yummy, a couple were pretty funky. But recently I bought some dried starter from a well-respected line and have been blown away with how much better the starter we bought is compared to the wild harvested runs I tried. If a friend asked I would tell them it's really not worth it to use a wild strain unless your hobby is microbiology... If your hobby is baking, stick with a known-good starter.

Most lived experiences with off-shore talent are due to labor costs. There are great offshore engineers but many work for companies who aren't hiring at the top end of the local market: they're hiring off-shore to save. You get what you pay for. And that leads to impressions, even if incorrect ones.
That's why public transport shouldn't be left to the market. The benefits to society are huge in terms of environment so it's well worth subsidizing it.
> will do nothing for emissions

How can that be?

Direct consumption emissions are eliminated.

Those with solar (a growing percentage) reduce their indirect emissions from grid non-renewable generators.

And there is a growing percentage of green generation on the grid.
Modern heat pumps can work in very cold weather, but they're much less efficient, which is reflected in their COP numbers. In my house in Chicago, we have a hybrid system--the heat pump works down to 20F or so, and we have a natural gas furnace for colder times. Natural gas is very cheap here, so this is the most cost-effective solution at the moment. I'm very eager to electrify and remove my dependence on natural gas, but I think it will be at least a few more years unless there's some breakthrough in cold-weather heat pump efficiency, or an enduring spike in natural gas prices--last time I did the math, the breakeven point for electrification here is around a COP of 4, which no heat pump can do at typical Chicago winter temperatures.

If I were building a brand new house, I probably would do it 100% electric. But most people here already have natural gas furnaces, and when they reach end-of-life they're usually replaced with another natural gas furnace. Hybrid systems like mine are catching on, but it will be a while before 100% electric is commonplace here.
Something I’ve noticed with PaaS services like RDS or Azure SQL is that people arguing against it are assuming that the alternative is “competence”.

Even in a startup, it’s difficult to hire an expert in every platform that can maintain a robust, secure system. It’s possible, but not guaranteed, and may require a high pay to retain the right staff.

Many government agencies on the other hand are legally banned from offering a competitive wage, so they can literally never hire anyone that competent.

This cap on skill level means that if they do need reliable platforms, the only way they can get one is by paying 10x the real market rate for an over-priced cloud service.

These are the “whales” that are keeping the cloud vendors fat and happy.
Admittedly we're not using it for anything high volume.

The typical changeover in a sourdough culture moving locations is about one month, assuming regular feeding. As a professional bread baker I am disappointed that this fact is often withheld/obscured by people selling portions of their starters. If there weren't significant location-based differences then, for example, the distinctive San Francisco sourdough flavor could be replicated by sourdough bakers anywhere. Likewise, Puratos—a company generally known for its manufacture and sales of baking mixes—wouldn't maintain a sourdough library, akin to the Svalbard seed vault.

The best reason to acquire an existing sourdough culture would be to start with a healthy, vibrant culture. I think the gain is minimal, both in time and labor. And the person who will typically have a lasting interest in sourdough bread baking is someone who is drawn to the whole process and not after that type of shortcut, especially during the initial learning stages.
