They're part of the western grid, which helps some, but the sun is up broadly, so if Arizona has excess power, so do California, Nevada, and other Western states. Likewise, if they need power in the evenings, so do those other states as well so then additional generation is needed, or batteries that can be depleted in lieu of more expensive non-Solar generation.

What I had in mind was the simple OLTP usecases. To compete with NoSQL in developer ergonomics.

My context is people choosing NoSQL because SQL is too hard to learn and has too many caveats; not because of performance etc

So basically a mode for the planner where you:

- throw away statistics

- consider all tables infinitely large

- ...except the log(N) of an index lookup is OK

- then find a non-infinite plan or crash

Yes, it does not work in all cases. But it avoids giving SQL a bad reputation and push people towards NoSQL DBs for the common case of simplistic OLTP queries.

The error should be seen during testing. The "DBA" sees it there are issues then you are deploying code without test coverage..

For more sophisticated queries, you would not enable this flag, and be aware that you are doing a nontrivial query.

There is probably no transmission in a US road car that can be replaced for $500 in labor at an auto shop. Your buddy or some rando may do it, but no shop will for that price. Typical shop rate is $120-$220/hour. Most shops are going to charge a minimum of 4 hours, but probably closer to 8 hours. Have you ever been under a car? The amount of "automation" required to replace a transmission is still in the arena of science fiction.
And let's not forget, this is a comparison between NVDA and AAPL.

It's not just a matter of NVDA's upside.

AAPL may have peaked, and, in light of the EU breaking up it's walled garden, may be on the way down.
I'm currently renting. But i just want to add that the skylight in my house is the single best thing about it. I'm in a location which is pretty well shaded on all sides of my house. The windows that i do have are relatively small and do not let in all that much light. My house is permanently dim, great for sleeping, terrible for starting work in the morning.

In this scenario, the skylight in my bathroom while i do the morning ready is a godsend. Are there other better solutions? I'm sure there are, but is the prevalence of issues with properly installing skylights much larger than the prevalence of issues with windows?

I've had (isp provided) modem+routers that get flakey or crash and reboot when there's certain network traffic. I did manage to get one replaced because a fragmented ipv6 packet would routinely crash it, and then in the replacement any ipv6 packet would take an absurd amount of time to traverse the router, but I 'fixed' that by running the modem as a pure bridge and running PPPoE[1] on my own systems.

If I were you, I'd confirm if the issue continues if on wired ethernet, and investigate from there. I personally won't do conferencing on wireless anything, jitter and unnecessary latency are the death of interactivity; but a lot of people disagree with me, I guess.

> Prior to GPT-4o, you could use Voice Mode to talk to ChatGPT with latencies of 2.8 seconds (GPT-3.5) and 5.4 seconds (GPT-4) on average. To achieve this, Voice Mode is a pipeline of three separate models: one simple model transcribes audio to text, GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 takes in text and outputs text, and a third simple model converts that text back to audio. This process means that the main source of intelligence, GPT-4, loses a lot of information—it can’t directly observe tone, multiple speakers, or background noises, and it can’t output laughter, singing, or express emotion.

Ah... wednesday again, and the EU making our lives worse. It's all they do. Literally 100% of EU is negative.
My experience with Elixir onboarding was meh. Spent hours trying to setup the LSP in VSCode and Neovim. Their pseudo-official LSP (elixir-ls) didn't work at all. I even made a post about it on Reddit, Github, and here. No one really knew what was going on.

Even with Haskell you have something like ghcup and you're good to go. Not to mention Rust's amazing Cargo and Go's tooling as well.

So far, Elixir has been even more challenging to just get up and running than Common Lisp!

By the way, the official Elixir website recommends using Homebrew to install it. But almost everyone in the Github issues and comments says ASDF is the way to go.
Back in the day (early 2000’s), I worked with a DB2 instance that had similar functionality. At the time, they called this feature federated databases. If you had the appropriate wrapper, you could use any data source in a query. Even output from other programs. At the time I used it for including dynamic DNA sequence alignments in queries.

IIRC, SQLite can do similar things with virtual tables (with a more limited set of data file types).

I always liked this way of working, but I also wonder why it never really took off. Data discovery can be an issue, and I can see the lack of indexing as being a problem.

I guess that’s a long winded way to ask: as interesting as this is, what are the use cases where one would really want (or need) to use it?
They hyperscalers can bypass CUDA if it is profitable. Most AI practitioners use Torch rather than CUDA directly, so it's effectively "under the hood". If some director at Meta figures they could reduce Meta's capex by $X billion per year switching to in-house/AMD hardware, they'd make it happen a pocket a decent bonus for themselves and the teams involved.

One way which feels fair that I have seen companies do is provide "Maintenance".

Premium paid support offerings which also includes upgrades to any versions released during your contract duration. It's enterprisey, and maybe weird for a camera app (how much support could you possibly really need?).
> The "instant death" radius is > 10 miles nowadays.

I don't know where you're getting this information.

The "moderate damage" blast radius for the Minuteman missile, currently in service in the US, isn't even 10 miles. The moderate radius for the Russian "Topol"/SS-25 is only ~11 miles.

The blast radius of the Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, is only ~5 miles for "heavy damage" and just over 12 for "moderate damage".

> It's end-to-end audio, in the sense that you speak and it will reply audibly

This is not what was meant by "audio-to-audio" or "end-to-end". It's not a statement about the UI, it's a statement about the whole system.

> it may in fact be employing STT->LLM on the backend

It certainly is, and additionally TTS after the LLM, all connected solely by text. This is not audio-to-audio, it's audio-to-text-to-audio, and the components are trained separately, not end-to-end. ChatGPT has already done this too, for months.

I'm interested, but only if its a good deal. Given all the back tracking by GM and Ford on EVs, I'd welcome the Chinese ones to come in and undercut them. Remember in 2008 when GM et all failed because all they wanted to make were SUVs and no one wanted them, even when they were a roll over hazard that was crushing people to death, and they nearly failed. Then the US Gov bailed them out and they had their shit together for a bit. Well, we are back in the SUV only era. If they don't want to produce the vehicles that we want, let someone else in who does. Then there will be competition and GM et all won't be able to be a one trick SUV pony. Auto makers DO NOT LEARN.
> If they anticipated this would happen, why wouldn't they just ditch the Sky voice altogether?

This is my opinion so it's not factual. They already don't have any qualms making billions of dollars operating with a maybe-illegal-but-definitely-not-cool business model that hoovers up copyrighted content without compensated authors to use their works to train models to reproduce similar works, again without compensating any copyright owners. Why would they act different when it's one celebrity? Sugar Daddy Microsoft has enough money and lawyers to throw at SJ to keep her busy until she either croaks or goes broke.

Also, why would MS or OpenAI lose out on a billion dollars in stock growth with the release of ChatGPT4.o when, for a few million dollars, you can do whatever you want.

Not necessarily. You consented to people reading your code and learning from it when you posted it on Github. Whether or not there's an issue with AI doing the same remains to be settled. It certainly isn't clear cut that separate consent would be required.

My impression is the accountability is not there. The city just settles, the money comes out of taxpayer pockets. I will be shocked if any police officer, seargent, anyone, loses pay, demoted, or held accountable for criminal negligence.

How did you get people to trust your product? If I see something like this from a small outfit for a cheap price, I will assume that the price is being made up some where else. How did you assure you customers you cant access their machines when you want. Or that your service will offer the reliability they will need?
Old timer here, back in the day (60s thru 80s) owners worked on their cars to save money, this kept garage repair prices in check because they knew we had another choice, ourselves. Today, I still service my vehicles because I purchased the electronic meters and testers that are required. (I realize not everyone thinks they have the ability to service their car, YouTube is a great source.

Maybe you don't want to get your hands dirty. While changing out a turn signal light can be a pain, you can do it, thus saving a lot of money. Accomplishing a difficult job is a very good feeling. If you don't have the required tools, rent or borrow them.

There are limitations, I tend to drive my vehicles to higher mileage. I won't change out half-shafts anymore or automatic window motors, as I have in the past many times. (I pay the garage to do it now.) But this is due to age, not how difficult the job is. Auto garages are opportunist, they'll charge whatever the market can stand, just like the new car sales. Until we make them change, they won't.

CEOs dont have an option to jump ship. All their actions are scrutinized heavily since they are public. By accepting CEO job they accepting a risk this could be their last CEO job ever, if they mess up. Thats why they require golden parachute.

If you want to hire CEO, that means your company is in trouble and desperately need good steward. You want to hire strong CEO, but he is taking a risk that he demands to be compensated for in case you change your mind want to change CEO again.

with engineers - risk is smaller, plenty of engineers just jump ship to another company (and many even get a pay bump) after failing at current job. Thats why severance is smaller than CEO
I just left a version of this in another thread—I live in Phoenix and now take Waymo regularly, and it seems like we're close to a world in which most people take self-driving cars most of the time, crash rates plummet, and these kinds of articles come to resemble articles from 1910 about horse-related problems.

> Well, this is a fundamental space vs time tradeoff — reclaiming memory takes time, usually on the very same thread that would be doing useful work we care about.

Precisely. Which is fine if you don't have to share that space with anyone else; the example which started this sub-thread ("running ~200 JVMs on the same machine") is one in which that tradeoff goes badly.

But it wouldn't be as much of an issue if the JVMs could coordinate between themselves (and with other processes on the same machine), so that whenever one JVM (or other things like the kernel itself) felt too much memory pressure, the other JVMs could clean some garbage and release it back to the common pool of the operating system.

In other words, buy it on the market, like the GP said.

With ACA subsidies, you'll never have to pay more than 8.5% of your income in premiums for a mid-range plan. And that's in the worst case -- it'll typically be less (if you make less, you'll qualify for larger subsidies or free healthcare, and if you make more, the proportional cost of insurance premiums will be lower).

I'm not familiar with BMWs of that era, but other German cars from that era, the plastic cooling system pipes will likely last forever- they don't corrode or crack like metal pipes would over time.

For really critical things like through hulls below the waterline on boats, plastic pipes like glass filled nylon (Marelon) are considered safer and more reliable than metal, because they never corrode, and are much physically stronger than a comparable weight metal part.

I grew up with 1970s European cars where every plastic or rubber part would fail eventually, but by the 90s the materials got much better.

Having dabbled in some deals like this, books can give you some general ideas, but by nature they won't be current. A lot of things change quickly in the market, especially for smaller deals like this. A company or market segment that was getting a 5x valuation last year could be at 8x now, or 2x. Also, in many cases the buyers are more experienced than the sellers, though that doesn't seem like it was the case here. Your broker can help inform you, and prop you up. They can also act as the go-between for many communications, which can help mask feelings, worries, urgency, and other things that don't always help your position in a face to face conversation.
Pressing [X] to doubt.

There are many alternatives to the good old transformers: RWKV, Mamba, etc.

Yet here we are, still using transformers (actually, just the decoder part). Is it because the industry has so much inertia to pick up new methods? I doubt it because there's $BILLIONS in this market and everyone wants a piece of the AI cake, so it doesn't make sense to ignore promising methods.

Why, then, we barely see any non-transformer production-ready LLM these days?
