If the database team designed a thoughtful API with stored procedures, this can actually be a quite nice way to interact with a database for specific uses. Being 100% hard and fast on that rule seems like a bad idea though.

Not OP, but managed a ~1tb Postgres install for years. You should use something like pgbackrest or barman to help with both replication (replicas can pull WAL from your backups when catching up), backups, and failovers. At least for pgbackr

I built one of the Trade Promotion Management platforms used in the NA market, and couldn't agree more. It's a nightmare trying to be auditable if you didn't think about it from the start.

This is fantastic. I just spent a day getting cnpg working with the pgai extension by extending the container and setting up all the ghcr auth with my k8s deployment. It wasn't terrible to add support for that extension as it was, but

I remember following the original development of (stored) generated columns, and realizing that they weren't planning on getting around to virtual generated columns at the time which made the feature useless for my use cases I needed t

I'm nowhere near cool with that either...

No way. He is part of the government forcing the sale. What have we come to in this country.

That is one of the tactics that the DOJ was going after (at least previously, not sure any more).

You are missing something. This is a single stream of inference. You can load up the Nvidia card with at least 16 inference streams and get at much higher throughout tokens/sec. This just is just a single user chat experience benchmark

I always rolled my eyes a bit about the decorum calls when anybody would get a little rowdy. I don't know, I seem to find a little bit of profanity and pointed name calling an entirely different thing than an all out assault on truth a

I'd say that's true after a certain point in any specific field. But there are so many fields that do show some future promise with only a few people doing research at any one time. I think a bit more breath of search will do us w

It allows more people to do it as a career if the funding goes partially towards salaries. That goes a long way towards making more progress in more fields.

Not OP. > Do you remember your memories as a child? Or what you ate for breakfast 3 weeks ago? For me, this seems like conjuring up and thinking about a childhood event is like putting what came out of my nebulous 'memory' fres

I don't know what rational country isn't rethinking their orders, even if they want to stay on the good side of the US.

I think recurrent training approaches like those discussed in COCONUT and similar papers show promising potential. As these techniques mature, models could eventually leverage their recurrent architecture to perform tasks requiring precise

I couldn't quickly find it by searching your github, but what layers did you end up targeting for training? Would be interesting to see an ablation on targeting different sets of layers (train only attention layers, freeze the first 30

Usually (With OpenAI, I haven't checked Mistral yet) it means an async api rather than a sync api. e.g. you submit multiple requests (pdfs) in one call, and get back an id for the batch. You then can check on the status of that batch a

They've had a decade and a half now to invest and diversify. I've been incredibly disappointed in every attempt. Honestly, just investing the good portion of the revenue from Google in an index fund and treating it like an endowme

Slightly increasing the Social Security cap would go a long way towards it.

Trump made claims he wants to cancel the chips act. I have a feeling that has something to do with the delay.

I really have liked the current Optimizer series. So much amazing info. I hope some company that heavily relies on Postgres sponsors a project to replace the optimizer with a more modern implementation. I feel like for any large application

This can take you really damn far. I've been playing with CloudNativePG recently and adding replicas is easy as can be, they automatically sync up and join the cluster without you thinking about it. Way nicer than the bare-vm ansible s

That's like half of what I got hired for in the Tampa area (notoriously low pay) in 2011 with like 6 months of SQL experience and no college degree. That's really depressing to be honest.

Surprisingly, the people in the government don't much like being shot. See the reaction to the UHC CEO for an example.

That is a complete false equivalence. What evidence was there of fraud in 2020? We are watching what Trump is doing and saying with our own eyes right now. There were a bunch of people who are easily tricked who latched onto the election f
