Locality of data and computation is very important in neural nets. It's the number one reason why training and inference are as slow as they are. It's why GPUs need super expensive HBM memory, why NVLink is a thing, why Infiniband

Inference is not where the majority of this CAPEX is used. And even if, monetization will no doubt discourage developers from dispensing the secret sauce to user controlled devices. So I posit that data centres inference is safe for a good

If the hardware can be used more efficiently to do even more work, the value of the hardware will hold since demand will not reduce but actually increase much faster than supply. Efficiency going up tends to increase demand by much more tha

You know it's the same everywhere? It's hopeless to wish for all of humanity to change their common intuitions and independently reproduced heuristics. I'm white and spend a lot of time in Korea. I can get around in Korean. D

Oh sure, I do apologize, just wanted to know if the numbers came from somewhere or if they were a wild guess. Thanks for bringing up the references. The difference is drastic indeed. I almost would qualify for Jeju Air.

The more likely scenario to me is that they attempted a go-around after the bird strike and failed, leading them to land with gears up, no flaps, at high speed.

Are you taking that number out of your arsenal or from a source? AFAIK most South Korean pilots are actually doing their training in the US, since it's much easier to accumulate the hours, and there's more GA. I would think their

Seems quasi-impossible on a commercial airliner. This thing is going to beep and alert like hell about the landing gears being up. The most likely cause is a complex series of event that led to the landing gears not coming down. Landing gea

I came to the same conclusion about Temporal for these types of things. Interactive stuff that touches 1 DB? Do it in the API. Needs to coordinate >1 thing? Temporal. Orchestrating a bunch of LLM calls is a perfect fit for Temporal.

I found that this ends up being a giant amount of useless code, and a ton of memory allocation noise, that only satisfied my desire for elegance. I've given up that approach and just use protobuf types throughout as the base type. I go

Yeah, then get the double masted one? They made huge sacrifices and redesign to focus on a feature they barely use. Which is why I think it's silly.

People aren't surprised that crappy overloaded rafts sink. But they're surprised that top-of-the-line yachts sink in a minor squall. It's not confusing to me why one is more noteworthy than the other, technically. The wealth

7k$ is about what yards quoted for such a job in NorCal. It's easy to DIY if you know what to do, but (1) it's a nasty job (2) it's toxic (3) it takes time and (4) you still end up paying about 2k$ if you're thrifty (in

Think of the summary of a zoom call. Or of a chapter that you're not sure if you care to read or not. Not all content is worth consuming, and not all content is dense.

You haven't used them enough. Everytime an LLM reduces my search from 1min to 5s, the LLM pays. Just summary features: save me 20min of reading a transcript, turn it into 20s. That's a huge enabler.
