Audiogalaxy dev here. That was my favorite part of the design.

One of my other favorite parts was that prioritized matches based on how similar their domain name was to yours, so a lot of times you would end up grabbing files from someone in the same dorm or city (cable modem IPs had hostnames back then had the city in the name).

Remember what the Luddites actually did? They sabotaged the machines that were disrupting their livelihoods. If AI is as disruptive to large numbers of workers as some people think it will be, keep in mind it's a lot easier to destroy a GPU that's stored on earth than one in space.

Anyone planning expenditures as large as a modern data center thinks about all kinds of risks (earthquakes, climate, power, etc), and so perhaps there is a premium for GPUs that are out of the reach of your median angry unemployed guy.

(yes, this is nuts, but I can easily imagine some fever-dream pitch meeting where Musk is talking about it)

What's the easiest way to set up automatic code review for PRs for my team on GitHub using this model?

Just curious, what's your background in batteries? From my understanding, sodium based batteries are safer than lithium, but I would defer to anyone with real expertise in the subject.

Yes, 100% agree. We've spent so much time chasing down what makes our build slow. Obviously that is less important now, but hopefully they've laid the foundation for when our code base grows another 10x.

This is amazing. Everyone that picked TS for a big project was effectively betting that someone would do this at some point, so it's incredible to see it finally happen. Thanks to everyone involved!

Great post, thank you!

Where does the uncertainty (1%) come from? For example, is it more from our ability to precisely determine the orbit based on limited observations, or is it because orbits for objects like this just aren't predictable years out, or something else?

Why call it fraud when you can call it honey laundering?

The only announcement I want from AWS about databases is that the price for RDS is going down. Not that they have new chip that is more expensive but offers better price/performance, but that my bill is actually going to drop.

I don't trust them enough to use non-portable technology like this until they give me confidence they are committed to lowering prices.

We are headed towards a world where my robotic coding assistants are smarter when it is sunny.

How does that compare to Khan Academy?

What would it take for something like this to make it into Postgres?
