Not sure it‘s in the best interest of users, or electric grid operators, to have the control over such a platform

Sadly it seems that the current trend is to throw in android and apps and whatnot to make it a terrible tablet replacement, whilst driving the cost up. It baffles me how android is in any way (apart from installing other reader apps) an imp

I never understand people who write stuff like this. Its climate change; we know what is happening and we know how to fix it. We don‘t need AI for it, next thing they‘re gonna say is let‘s use blockchain to fight climate change

Which is perfectly fine - 100 million concurrent users aren't the same for app x and app y, as the business logic the backend run isn't also the same. Not saying it can't handle everything as well. Just saying the modularity

So you have to take care of routing etc. I see how it works, and I completely agree that to start out, so going from PoC to first business implementation, a monolith is the way to go (unless the goal from the start is 100 million concurrent

I see, so basically we are applying scaling, but instead of scaling the bottleneck as its own part we scale everything. I somewhat fail to see how that saves much effort; routing setup sounds like a hassle. What we‘re using at my work is ju

Please elaborate on that. Without spawning a new monolith, how do you scale it. Add more resources?

Yes you can. Our tests are layered as follows: - unit tests - mocking tests - integration tests (i.e. service + db) - system tests (full api to db level) integration starts providing flaky tests already sadly, i.e. with kafka on our end… (

Yes. These actions just give me more fire as argument against every using something that is done by google. Be it GCP, Firebase or anything else, really.

This is a great use of AI! Im tasked with building a new platform and honestly one of my main head aches has been how to use the current AI power to facilitate development and maintenance. Whilst one use case is the automatic generation of

Problem with this is that it leads to the algorithm targeting outputs that sound good for humans. Thats why its bad and wont help us, it should also incorporate „sorry dont know that“, but for that it needs to actually be smart

And people only looking at the ISS as a "science experiment" are seriously misunderstanding the social impacts as well, especially when it comes to operations that span multiple countries and the relations between them. It's

I find it fascinating that people in 2023 argue with „resource constraints“ when talking about scientific projects. Those guys working on that are experts, they wouldnt do much else, the money spent on this is comparatively a joke in compar

Pretty cool! not the same but for flyway + java I have a simple github action that on push to develop checks the diff for any *.sql files and mails them to the DA team, as they dont have access to our repo

Not sure what storming, disturbing and leading to the cancellation of an event that describes historical occurrences else is. A normal hobby? Surely not.

Whilst n = 170 is not bad, this would still need bigger testing group. But seems promising?

Resources most likely. Training data, training a proxy that trains the real model, hardware, time, money. Managing such an open source project by itself would be terribly hard, considering the nature of model training, training data collect

Completely agree on this point. I've worked over half a decade with smart home systems, and it's just so much easier (and cheaper!) to integrate well documented, open APIs (and please make them secure, I have nightmares of all the

Whilst I agree on it, this is partially true. shielded cables can create current flows between switches, have seen it previously, and had to fix it as it was inducing problems on the traffic over that cable

There are plenty of examples that already run on simulators. One example would be QAOA that can be used to solve combinational problems like MQO. Then there is also research that compares the performance of classical ML algorithms to Quantu
