Does it really matter? If it eventually gets basic logic right and can do research/correction of it's own mistakes - it'll be insanely valuable tool even if it doesn't have consciousness as we do.

I don't usually copy blocks of code they produce verbatim, it's either line-by-line work (CoPilot) when I check every line - the same way I check my own lines - or I just take rough ideas (ChatGPT). The main good thing is - it mak

I think the AI will actually leave us with the exiting part instead. I'm already seeing this with CoPilot and ChatGPT.

There is one reason is that the protocol of storage is open. Doesn't mean the thing can't die obviously, but there is some hope that someone will continue to store the data - there is some incentive (crypto value, however low or u

Implementing certain things in PyTorch can be fun. I've recently started to make an economic game simulator (where you have players that can buy and sell items, do fighting etc.) and began to outline the design in the usual C#, but the

Honestly, the thing kinda breaks if you have several sets of rules aka Bitcoin clones. No, ideally, the thing works if you have > 50% computation resources of the planet consumed (and of course, controlled) by miners using one set of rul

Some percentage? I haven't used polars, but I ditched pandas after observing x20 speedup by just rewriting a piece of code to plain csv.reader. Pandas is unacceptably slow for medium data, period.

Me and my friends have a funny habit calling these Spellbooks and pretending to be magicians. This leads to all sorts of hilarious interactions.

I'm fascinated by problems, that are NP complete, but still can have a ton of optimizations that can reduce the time needed by many orders of magnitude (millions or more), like SAT solving. Or approximate solutions / heuristics li

> "do you have any tools you find value in customizing?" Anecdata: don't think I have any? My best tools for years were pencil and paper, and I usually get things done, very fast.

Yeah, I've read more carefully and it seems they're doing full scan.
47.
by Dzugaru 4y ago
So you do a full scan and it's ~50 CPU cycles per row (48 CPUs at 4 GHZ), correct? This is possible I guess? And in this case Clickhouse is wrong.

"while QuestDB utilizes its full indexing strategy to read just a tiny fraction of the actual data" Can you please elaborate on this?

by Dzugaru 4y ago
Well, I don't know how QuestDB works, and I couldn't find anything in the original benchmark, but probably they already have some sort of (geo)index in place? It's really strange to search geo-data by scanning the whole surfa

This is of course already done (to some extent) in aviation. Human error is indeed a start of investigation - there is extensive psychological profiling for pilots, why they did what they did given the circumstances, how much sleep did they

Why don't we just remove gamification from it and be done with this? I wonder why anonymous forums (imageboards, etc.) aren't even mentioned, ever.

Sure, there is a gradient of complexity here, first you can just do your stuff in kernel in a single thread, then you'll probably want to load programs and execute them in userspace [0], then you'll want multitasking and task sche

I tried to do that a year ago, but the problem was my PC froze (full lock up, even mouse pointer is frozen) regularly. I didn't know how to even start troubleshooting a thing like that so I left to Win10 again (was Linux Mint btw).
