pgbackrest was always easy to use in my experience. Not very hard to setup or configure, and low overhead. Supports spool directories for WAL shipping, compression, and block incremental backups (YAY!!!). I ran my last company on it for the

Thank you for the effort that went into getting this committed. I remember seeing the first discussions about async I/O (and using io_uring) like 6 or 7 years ago. Amazing amount of work to get the design right. Looking forward to the

I would absolutely use another backup utility (additionally if you want) if I were you (barman, pgbackrest, etc). You are just wrapping pgdump, which is not a full featured backup solution. Great for a snapshot... Use some of the existing t

I generally make sure I use diff tools for that type of task, because LLMs are really good at making subtle changes you don't easily notice that are wrong.

I need pushback, especially when I ask for it. E.g. if I say "I have X problem, could it be Y that's causing it, or is it something else?" I don't want it to instantly tell me how smart I am and that it's obviously

It has been way more common for Republican administrations and Congress to explode the deficit than when the Dems controlled things. Consistently, for longer than I've been alive.

Why/how would you expect an LLM to know that info?

That was a mind breaking interview fwiw. It really seems like the right wing is unable to keep track of the lies, and are self deluded by their ecosystem. What do you expect to happen when you have a compulsive liar say whatever is on his m

They already do... The Amazon prints are often done on inferior paper and don't feel as nice when holding them.

I've read research papers on being able to have a dial for how much reasoning the model puts in to your request. Likely how a lot of the proprietary model providers did it as well.

Another that I don't see enough is just resampling and showing the human more 'final answers' if they are easy and quick to check for correctness.

Let's hope they don't get with I.G. Farben for their 'expertise'. I'm not joking at this point.

Can confirm. Is quite fun.

I did for years. Custom roms and all. Then over time there was just less and less of a need for me to do so, and more and more of a hassle if I did (banking apps breaking, etc).

In Pasco county FL it didn't taper off. We just had a huge increase in collisions until they took the cameras down. https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/red-light-camera...

For the same cost* was left out of my post, but it is extremely important to Moore's law not being dead.

by Tostino 2y ago
That isn't transistor density doubling every 18-24 months related, which is specifically what Moore's law is about. Those increases are brought about by improved design, increasing bus bandwidth, larger chip sizes, etc.

I think the problem comes in when you have adults teaching kids a simplified model who don't actually understand that is what they are doing. It is not always conveyed well that they are learning a simplified model, or using an analogy

I don't think it was that. I generally pay attention to those and don't remember it being near a weigh station for any of them (it was only one car at a time, and was spread out over a couple hundred miles that I saw them). I ha

All the better if they have even cheaper/faster/more reliable options for transportation available. A car is a giant money sink when poor, even when not in NYC.

by Tostino 2y ago
You still have deliveries and other business related uses for the roadways in NYC. Clearing the roads up for higher economic value activity while also increasing the public transportation reliability and speed seems like a win all around.

Let's say you had a local model with the ability to do tool calls. You give that llm the ability to use a browser. The llm opens that browser, goes to Google or Bing, and does whatever searches it needs to do. Why would that be an issu

That this is absolutely a "because we can" situation. If it is using any significant resources of their own to serve it remotely, that's because they engineered it that way.

I've got 20 plus TB that I'm backing up, so the costs work out in the other direction for me.
