Thanks for the note, great to hear from you! I think that what Clickhouse does is great, and I expect that more applications want to take advantage of the low prices of S3 cold storage without needing to build their own application-level abstractions. I'm hopeful that this allows more of these next-generation serverless data products to exist.

Actually there is it’s called CAFE and tariffs
In any given culture (software development) you will have a set of traditions that may be used by the members of that culture to signify status, experience, pedigree and authority, and often some combination of all these and other descriptors. And, by virtue of creating a culture, you will also necessarily create a counter-culture, which rejects those things (performatively or otherwise) in an effort to do the exact same thing, but in the other direction. If you decide that proper software is developed with command-line in mind first, and UI second, you will in that effort necessarily create software devs who believe the exact opposite. This is core to our being as humans.

In my mind, this author is merely signaling software counter-culture, some of which I agree with, others I don't. And the people whom you describe above are signaling software culture, in a hostile and domineering way.

And of course, these two sides are not impermeable, forever persistent: culture and counter-culture shift constantly, often outright reversing from one another on a roughly 30 year timeline. And, they both have important things to offer. Best practices are best practices for a reason, and also telling stuffy people to chill out when they're focused so hard on best practices that they lose the plot of what the org is actually attempting to accomplish is also important.
Yes! I don't know of any reason why that wouldn't work. I've worked with lots of customers who need simple, low-cost storage for database backups.
That was a mistake. At least the guy yelling on the corner was obviously nonsense and you could realize you shouldn't trust him.

The newspaper guy had a sophisticated, industry insider sounding explanation for why newspapers would always be around. Detroit guys had logical sounding reasons why Tesla wouldn't work. Aerospace and defense guys had logical sounding reasons spacex wouldn't work. Everyone in retail had reasons amazon wouldn't work.

People who have been doing something for a long time haven't had a great record of predicting the future in the very field they operate in.

The most likely reason is the GIMP devs don't consider it a use case.
It’s more expensive because you pay US wages to make the car. PPP is the real reason why it’s cheaper to build in a country where a $1000/month is a really good salary that will afford you a comfortable lifestyle on 1 income.
Also, even if Europeans would like the look of larger cars, our roads are not built for it lol. Definitely not in cities.

Thanks for your note! We're really hopeful that our "local-like performance" is part of the story that distinguishes us from other file system solutions. I envision a world where people don't have to overprovision block storage volumes, and can just use this instead -- with the ability to easiy grab their data from S3.
Yeah, people underestimate the value of “finished” software: in an ecosystem with lots of stable dependencies, there’s very little reason for useful software to change constantly.
Wouldn't consumer like it if they could use Google services on any browser with the same experience without having to give up other browsers? I use firefox mainly but I have to use Chrome when I use Google Meet because Google provide more features and better performance when you are on Chrome (intentionally, not because of other browsers limitations)
It’s safe to assume that these regulations have largely been shaped by car manufacturers.

I'll admit I'm not familiar with the routing protocols used for Fibre Channel. Is there some equivalent of BGP? How well does it scale? What vendors sell FC switches and what's the cost compared to Ethernet/IP/TCP?
Dual flush doesnt work as well with US sized bowls. You need the entire toilet fitting to be designed for it, not just retrofit the cistern.
Yes, of course. And then you add one or two more lines of jQuery. And then another few lines to deal with the client-side and server-side state getting out of sync. And then...

Is putting in a couple of lines of JS that has no knowledge of the backend-managed good enough for small one-off pages? Maybe. But it's definitely not composable and abstractable, which was the original claim.
Cool idea. IMHO traditional information retrieval is the way to go with RAG. Vector search is nice but also slow and expensive and people seem to use it as magic pixie dust. It works nice for unstructured data but not necessarily that well for structured data.

And unless tuned very well, vector search is not actually a whole lot better than a good old well tuned query. Putting everything together, the practice of turning structured data into unstructured data just so you can do vector search or prompt engineering on it, which I've seen teams do, feels a bit backwards. It kind of works but there are probably smarter ways to get the same results. Graph RAG is essentially about making use of structure of data. Whether that's through SQL joins or by querying some graph database doesn't really matter much.

There is probably some value into teaching LLMs how to query as well; or letting them interface with existing search/query APIs. And you can compensate for poor ranking with larger context sizes and simply fetch a few hundred or even more results with multiple queries. It's going to be a lot faster and cheaper than vector search to scale that.
I should add here that the 'dumb' was my observation and being surprised by it. :)
I think finding them has the most fun. I'll probably also collect some good trilobite fossils if I can find some. But I believe reading reports -> figuring out where the location is in modern map -> finding exactly the same spots -> finding some fossils mentioned in the reports is the best part.
Right, I'd assume most LLM benchmarks are run on dedicated hardware.
There is a machine in a certain wood window manufacturer's plant that I have toured, which uses lasers to measure odd pieces of wood and then table saws to cut them into necessary sized pieces, minimizing waste - even cuts for fingerjoints - it all happens on a moving belt, and it happens extremely fast and in real-time. I was impressed. Probably powered by something like this algorithm (or the MAXRECTS one)

Look deeper. At one point China was far more technologically advanced than the UK (or rather its predecessor states). Why did China fall so far behind by 1839? Was it culture or some other factor?

RAG and Beyond: How to Make Your LLMs Use External Data More Wisely
The rise of Bluesky, and the splintering of social
I think you are being intentionally combative, uncurious, and condescending.

You are not engaging with the question posed, merely listing a number of cynicisms tangential at best, or factually incorrect at worst.

Independent practices generally cant operate licensed residency programs. Similarly, your model of hospital behavior ironically requires them to forgo money could make today to cash in on expensive interventions decades in the future - exactly what you claim they are incapable of doing.

Last, you claim doctors are a dime a dozen, yet hospitals pay 4, 5, or 600k to employ them, and frequently close due to an inability to secure them at reasonable costs.
You can't solve a social problem with technology.

Is that cheap?

The Leaf ($30,000) and Bolt ($27,500) are cheap_er_ (by a lot), but they are still not what I (and presumably parent) would consider cheap.
I'm a happily-paying customer of Groq but they aren't competitive against Cerebras in the 405b space (literally at all).

Groq has paying customers below the enterprise-level and actually serves all their models to everyone in a wide berth, unlike Cerebras who is very selective, so they have that going for them. But in terms of sheer speed and in the largest models, Groq doesn't really compare.
Part is due to people being fearful of buying something smaller since there are so many colossal vehicles on the road that would be considered military-tier equipment in other countries.

Safety ratings are nice and all, but when faced with the very real possibility that a vehicle 3 times the mass of yours will someday hit you at 80+ miles per hour, you just have to accept the fact that Newton's second law is something that is hard to win against.

Groq is legitimate. Cerebras so far doesn't scale (wide) nearly as good as Groq. We'll see how it goes.
> They aren't truly geographical- they're based on population structure in the genome.

Determining whether people are genetically similar is indeed well-studied. The problem is saying with certainty that you know where their ancestors lived.

There are a few ways the results end up being inaccurate, and they apply to all the companies.

The first and most important is that the data is from where people live now or in the very recent past (as I alluded earlier). That means they can only tell you how closely-related you are to people in a certain geographic area, whether those people have been there for 100 years or 1,000 years.

The second is that the data sets are filled with mostly European data, so anyone with even a bit of non-European ancestry is going to have less-accurate results[1] presented to them with a misleading degree of confidence.

The third is that there isn't an objectively "correct" algorithm for determining if someone is from one place or another. Every company has their own, which is why people get (sometimes wildly) different results from different companies.[2][3]

And the fourth is that the data collection doesn't seem to be especially accurate, perhaps related to the quantity or variety of SNPs that the testing company collects data about.

> Above you said "ex has a doctorate in genetics".

Correct. And the same way I take climate scientists' word for it that climate change is happening, instead of getting 10 degrees in different fields and gathering data myself, I understood her explanation and trust her expertise. Being a science consumer is always about trusting other people who have done the research, not about learning it all yourself and gathering your own data.

If you can find someone with a doctorate in genetics who has no affiliation with testing companies and believes these tests accurately tell someone where their ancestors were from, I'd be happy to consider the counterpoint. I have never seen such a thing in my research.

Regardless, all of the commercial operations have given twins differing results, so we can be fairly certain that any accurate way of determining genealogy from DNA has not been commercialized.

These tests, however, are good for finding relatives or determining how closely-related two people are.

We should have something like capability-based security, since object capabilities are amenable to more expressive interfaces than "read bytes" and "write bytes". Capability-based security also favors minimizing privilege by default instead of providing too much privilege and restricting/auditing later.

Top500 is weird for lots of reasons. It over-indexes on a few peculiar types of workloads and a few peculiar types of users (mostly gov).

Historically, those workloads and users were leading indicators of certain types of things. I don't think that's true anymore. In fact, I wonder if this is mostly a story of the government agencies not being able to compete with the private sector for NVIDIA gpus.

Except now, the "pullover" mechanism ended up dragging someone who had been "flung" into the cars path by someone who had hit and run a pedestrian.

While offline, I can attach a photo to an email with the Apple mail app and Q it to send later. However Gmail pauses or fails if slow connection. I've always assumed (perhaps unfairly) that was due to an iOS API issue - but perhaps the Gmail app is buggy?

> or creating a calendar item without using the Apple apps.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong then - I don't even have the Apple calendar app installed and somehow I hit problems.

I guess I default to blaming Apple - over the last year I have found my iPhone to be unreasonably buggy. Or I could be emanating anti-tech radiation.

> If you keep reading to the next few sentences I point out that the utility has sunk costs, so I understand you point quite well already.

It's not that they have sunk costs, it's that they have ongoing costs. The grid cost does not drop when you send excess solar to a neighbor. To actually avoid grid costs you need to reduce your max watts in a way that the power company can rely on.

> Transmission savings are the big thing with distributed solar and storage. And transmission is the bottleneck for most projects looking to connect to the grid right now. Not only is it expensive, it's slow to build.

Storage can save on transmissions but it has to be set up the right way. Solar and storage working together can do even better, but also have to be set up the right way. Solar by itself doesn't make a big difference in peak transmissions.
