The post I was responding to was arguing for using low-tech systems and lots of power to get to the Moon again.

We know, and they knew at the time, that the achievement of getting to the Moon was just a cherry on top of the technological development required to do it.

Should not redo that work. The current strategy of using higher-tech components and less brute force is more scientifically interesting.

I also think going back to the moon is stupid, but I elaborated on that a bunch the other branch, so I’m not going to bother doing it again. But if we have to go back again, we should follow their spirit rather than their actions and use the most advanced systems available. Not a bunch of TTLs. The value is in testing our ability to manufacture complex devices to work in a hostile environment.

You are right, it is hard to cover everything in one blog...

But the gist is that schemas and all the objects in them have few significant drawbacks:

1. Catalog overhead. Each schema has all the objects. PG Catalog doesn't scale to huge numbers. If you test anything that needs to work with the entire catalog, you'll run into issues in the 4-5 digits range (depends on number of tables, indexes, etc).

2. If you need to write a query that executes on all schema and aggregates results (for a report or something), you need to build your own tools.

3. Schema migrations and DDLs are increasingly hard to coordinate (I gave a whole talk about that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nnz4VesXyUA

We basically didn't just build the distributed query and DDL layer, we also did some smart things in Postgres itself (blog TBD) that allow us to reduce the catalog overhead significantly.
A pension plan is guaranteed. A 401k is not. A pension is theoretically much better because the company must pay you the money even if the investments didn’t work out. Contingent on the pension being there at the end of your career it’s much better. YMMV on getting a worse deal with a 401k that is more secure.

They can’t “take it away”. They just ran out of money with the judge ruling that shareholders don’t get priority access to what’s left.

Well of course it does. Otherwise, more than 60k people from the north of Israel wouldn't need to leave their towns since October.
Right, but do you want these still usable devices to become e-waste?

for those that can secure them properly (e,g air-gapping) why do we need to make old iot stuff non-functional bricks?

something I'd be more ok with is to disable it, but in the device's settings, allow it to be re-enabled

Some of the replies here are pretty good, I basically agree with “if it works for your data scientists then why not”.

I’m actually a software developer with 10 years experience and also happen to do data science. And found myself in situations where I parametrized a notebook to run in production. So it’s not that I can’t turn it to plain python. The main reasons are

1. I prototype in a notebook. Translating to python code requires extra work. In this case there’s no extra dev involved, it’s just me. Still it’s extra work.

2. You can isolate the code out of the notebook and in theory you’ve just turned your notebook into plain py. You could even log every cell output to your standard logging system. But you loose context of every log. Some cells might output graphs. The notebook just gives you a fast and complete picture that might be tedious to put together otherwise.

3. The saved notebook also acts as versioning. In DS work you could end up with lots of parameters or small variations of the same thing. In the end what has little variations I put in plain python code. What’s more experimental and subject to change I put in the notebook. In certain cases it’s easier than going through commit logs.

4. I’ve never done this but a notebook is just json so in theory you could further process the output with prestodb or similar.

Sounds like you mix up management with product people.

Product people are not management at least not where I worked.

I see how it might be a problem if your manager is talking to the customers.

Product people are or should be equal to dev, engineering. They should indicate priorities but should not in any way evaluate engineers especially if they have no technical expertise.
We don't really know yet if the 401k experiment is going to be successful. People retiring right now are by and large the earliest beta testers of the 401k idea. My parents and their parents had typical Defined Benefit pensions, and they were all able to simply enjoy their retirements without having to lift a finger to understand the stock market and index funds and tax rules and without needing to micromanage some brokerage account. They never had to worry about contribution limits, IRAs vs. 401k, Roth vs. non-Roth, asset allocation, the right investments for pre-tax vs post-tax money, rules about withdrawing contributions vs. earnings, having to guess what year they'll die to pick the right draw-down rate. They just worked, retired, and money magically came in. You have to admire the simplicity.

I Can't Tell If You're Serious
It's not that bad if you don't expect too much of yourself. I could patch some software machine code just by drawing on my 6502 teenage experience from more than 20 years ago. x86 or IL ASM doesn't matter all that much. Core concepts are the same. Registers, stack, relative jumps conditioned on the contents of flag register.

One thing that tripped me up a bit is that on x86 standard practice is using "taking address" lea operation combined with weird addressing mode to do simple arithmetics. I had to ask ChatGPT wtf is that.

In the process I learned that 686 assembly is a very different beast and they don't play nicely with each other (or at all).

People would be mich happier if the taxes were 50% less, the waste and corruption would be gone. And services were at similar level. Right now, US health care is redistributing money from poor people to rich.
I totally agree. The tie to whole patient outcome is stronger in that system. Still not perfect, but a lot more direct for sure. It may be an odd thing to say, but because of that there is an argument that the Canadian system is closer to a true free market healthcare system with the patient as the consumer than the US system.
Ah that would be an explanation. I simply assumed they would be using pictures and did not check, whether I can highlight single letters.

> The tone of the article is for some reason very dismissive and derisive of alternatives to plain dental hygiene.

Putting my conspiracy theory hat on, the dental hygiene industry in the US is for-profit, like the pharmaceutical, and would rather sell you a treatment than a cure.

I tried to have a dialog with my child's dentist about nano-hydroxyapatite. I was interested in their thoughts about it, not as a replacement for fluoride based therapies, but in addition to them. Rather than having a discussion about the merits of both treatments or discussing any concerns about compatibility, the dentist adopted an attitude that was belittling and made me feel like I was an anti-vaxer. The suggested we could just not do any fluoride therapies at all.

It was very odd and alarming.

I agree putting such burdens on companies with little IT resources isn’t healthy for the company, its customers or anyone else. This is hostile.

> Our military can't find the capacity it needs!

This has a lot more to do with the stance of the past 30 years to manufacture defense materiel at relatively constant, small rates. There was no capital investment, because why pay to have a huge line that isn't being used. We spent our military dollars on wonder-weapons that would probably win a direct war quickly, but that we can't give to allies in a proxy conflict. Going so far was a strategic mistake.

> And they, along with aerospace, are the best customers there are,

Military are terrible customers, especially if you're a subcomponent manufacturer. Gravy might pour, it might not; it's very unpredictable. You spend a lot of effort and business just evaporates.

> Howard Vollem died and the MBA took over.

On the flip-side, can you imagine being the high-cost Tek of old in today's test equipment marketplace? Tek already struggles to compete against cheaper, adequate solutions. So much of that market has commoditized out.

> nobody seems to recognize the massive opportunity costs in all that.

Actually, that's exactly what I'm talking about, in both directions. Having a ton of manufacturing means we would have opportunity costs in the other direction. We've traded the manufacturing we had 50 years ago for other things. It's not possible to specialize in "everything."
The issue here isn't ASCII vs unicode, it's specifically symbols that are composed of multiple unicode codepoints.
Indiscriminate? Aren’t these operations targeting individual pieces of military operational hardware, the sort of thing that only combatants have any reason to have, and that the combatant force keeps confined to its own personnel for security reasons?

Tawdry, unsportsmanlike, I can see those lines of criticism—but how does it get much more discriminate than this?
There really, truly, isn't. Classical economists can't handle being wrong, but given an alternative reality did not happen, it was a success.

We can speculate and play armchair economist all day. But the hard reality is that the New Deal revitalized the economy and created countless jobs to pull the US out of the Depression. Maybe a "do nothing" approach would've worked too, eventually. When I unlock the secrets to interdimensional travel, I'll let you know.

Armchair economists set up an argumentative scenario where they cannot be wrong. You see, if they're wrong about a situation then secretly they're right, because if you did what they suggested instead it would've worked too (and better!). But if they happen to be right then of course they're right, and countering suggestions are obviously wrong and would've caught the economy on fire.

I am not sure framing it as work ethic is right. It is simply the cost of labor. Some people might argue American's are more or less productive the hours they are working, which means just because someone from Taiwan is willing to be oncall 24/7, doesn't mean you'll have to hire exactly 3 American workers at 8 hours each to match productivity. You might need 5 because Americans truly are that lazy, or you might only need 2 because the on-call isn't that demanding since Americans are more productive.

Not saying any of these specifics are true, but framing it as work-ethic is not accurately capturing why it is more expensive to run factories in one country vs another.
Ah yes, you're right. I messed up the associativity in the reductions.

It still does what most interpretations would consider the "nth composition combinator":

(2 b f g) x y = f (g x y)

I think the bigger issue is not whether it has some efficacy, even if limited (which could be interpreted as a good thing), it's the potential for the bacterium to create a mono-culture, which would be objectively bad (remember, diversity is critical in populations, and for our oral health perhaps even necessary).

Obviously, otherwise you would have heard of it.
You've posted several paragraphs. It would be helpful if you'd identify the part of this you think Israel has violated, because I see none.

Broadly speaking, the Geneva Convention calls for the use of "all feasible precautions" to be taken in protecting civilians, but does not require perfection in doing so. In the context of a world where wars are normally fought with missiles and bombs, I would have thought that Israel's decision to instead target Hezbollah via tiny explosives hidden in devices known to be sold to Hezbollah members would be an extreme way of complying with this rule. If not even this is good enough, how else would you advise a nation to defend itself without violating this principle? Surely any use of conventional weaponry must also be out of the question.

>shipping, importing fees

Don't these chips still need to be sent to China for assembly by Foxconn? If anything this will increase costs even more and seems like import fees could potentially be even higher due to the current US-China trade war. Unless there is a plan to assemble everything in the US/Mexico as well. But then the costs would be way higher to assemble outside of China: certainly in US but probably also in Mexico, and I don't think they have any factories there.

Modal is a great platform!

In terms of cold starts, we seem to be very comparable from what users have mentioned and tests we have run.

Easier config/setup is feedback we have gotten from users since we don't have and special syntax or a "Cerebrium way" of doing things which makes migration pretty easier as well as doesn't lock you in which some engineers appreciate. We just run your Python code as is with an extra .toml setup file.

Additionally, we offer AWS Inferentia/Tranium nodes which offer a great price/performance trade-offs for many open-Source LLM's - even when using TensorRT/vLLM on Nvidia GPU's and gets rid of the scarcity problem. We plan to support TPU's and others in future.

We are listed on AWS Marketplace as well as others which means you can subtract your Cerebrium cost from your commited cloud spend.

Two things we are working on that will hopefully make us a bit different is:
- GPU checkpointing
- Running compute in your own cluster to use credits/for privacy concerns.

Where Modal does really shine is training/data-processing use cases which we currently don't support too well. However, we do have this on our roadmap for the near future.
