This sounds more like a 5 month POC that the engineer should have been able to prove sooner that DucksDB didn’t fit the use case.

“I got the bag and now have developed a conscience"

I wonder when we’ll reach diminishing returns on new AI models. Haven’t tried Mythos or Fable yet but it seems like Anthropic is already priming itself for this by calling for a “slowdown” of AI development.

Equality is more expensive. It’s much easier to just cut advanced classes and shove the upper percentile students closer to the average in the name of having equal outcomes for all races.

Similar to other issues in this country, we like to address the symptoms of economic inequality instead of attacking it at the source.

I think this is more due to the fact that the Iranian currency has completely collapsed.

What a shock, company whose share price is in the shitter lays people off and blames AI.

I’m wondering the same. I’ve read multiple articles about formal methods and how they’ve been used to find obscure bugs in distributed systems, but usually they just show a proof and talk about formal methods without concrete examples.

The problem with dating apps is they turn to shit when it’s time for the platform to monetize.

Most of the complaints here could be solved by having smaller pull requests and then squashing commits when it’s time to merge.

Historically, console makers have taken a loss on consoles they sell and they primarily make money on the games themselves. I wonder how much Microsoft actually cares about console sales.

Yeah and 42M records is not prohibitively large.

This is nearly identical to the massive issues with retail and car theft that we have in San Francisco.

The uber liberals will say “oh they’re just trying to feed their families” while there are endless low skilled jobs (since the pandemic) available that pay $20+ an hour.

The reality is that current policing and prosecution rules/prosecution practices make being a retail thief more convenient than getting a job. Nothing is going to change until the punishment becomes a deterrent again.

For many people SMS or emails with tokens are already pushing their technological capabilities. Might even go as far to say most people.

With containerization it’s very quick to spin up test dependencies as well as part of your CICD. Why mock calls to a datastore when it’s super easy to spin up an ephemeral postgresql instance to test on?
