The majority of inefficiency seems to leek into NASA via our Congress.

That is a marked improvement compared to the other examples provided. Nice to see it also has less compute resources required for that higher quality output.

Do some research and let us know. I'd be interested in finding out either way it turns out.

It is a pretty simplified view. I wrote an electric vehicle power / efficiency / range estimation program back in college when I was very into building electric bikes. (More advanced version of the ebikes.ca calculator for an exam

And then you have a good percentage of that .3 kWh available as extra energy to recapture as regen.

Just freaking stop with promoting these bs ideas. Yeah, let's add an absolute ton of movable mass to my giant sky scraper. No chance of it causing more problems later on. All for an absolutely miniscule amount of energy storage capaci

That's not how these calculations work at all. Weight (if it doesn't change the size or shape) really only has an effect on rolling resistance, which is a small portion of overall losses. The extra weight should make a marginal di

Probably isolation level guarantees if I had to take a WAG.

Embedding models are generally lightweight enough to run on CPU, can be done in the background while the user isn't using their device.

There were attempts to do this automatically ~7 years ago ( https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/7f70bd5a-5d16-e05... ). It didn't actually make it in due to worries about the approach and properly de-dup

I remembered reading a thread on the hackers mailing list about this starting probably 6 or 7 years ago... Nothing ever came of it if I remember right. Found it: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/7f70bd5a-

If at all possible, use a union all rather than a plain union to avoid an extra sort / unique node. I've used that OR > UNION ALL trick a number of times to vastly improve performance on specific queries. It's crazy how mu

Not to mention, when does he get applied? If I am asking an llm to transform some data from one format to another, I don't expect any changes other than the format.

Not necessarily. If you replaced the sun with an equivalent mass black hole, none of the orbits of the planets would change.

Of course the CIA doesn't do assassinations! There are just very well armed rebel group that pop up everywhere the CIA operates that has all the intelligence necessary to pull off a coup. Totally not assassination.

They just can't help them selves with the backronyms can they?! Politicians and the US military must spend a significant proportion of their time coming up with clever names.

To be fair, you are paying the "toll" each time you fill up (in the form of gas taxes).

This is what I ran into. Often times they were indexes with a similar cost as another, and that caused issues. I think the main index type that bit me are the ones created by exclusion constraints. Often times it looks to the planner like &

I honestly respect companies with that attitude way more than your standard American company culture.

The problem of new indexes messing up otherwise good queries is something I've battled on and off for the past decade with Postgres. Definitely annoying.

My 2020 Palisade rolled down a hill after I had parked it with my wife and dog still inside. It rolled over my leg and foot, and I had to go to the hospital. My wife had jumped from the passenger seat to the driver's to stomp on the br

That's what it sounded like to me. I really hope I was missing some sarcasm.

I mean, they took on massive debt, and advertisers have abandoned ship. People saying it was going to die weren't saying it just because they thought fewer people were using it.

Would love to see how this compares to Rancher Desktop.

Hell, 10 years ago (in a multi database project) I got bit by MySQL not supporting check constraints, but returning successfully when I ran the create check constraint statements. Postgres has been great all around.

Check out Asianometry on YouTube. Covers a whole range of topics I've found very interesting.

That is entirely dependant on the model for the embeddings. You can fine tune for pretty much any outcome you want.

I think there can be some middle ground. Someone I have followed on YouTube for years has done yearly donation drives for a homeless youth shelter around Christmas. They raised maybe 10k a year for a few years. Last time, they decided to go

Also been using it for a while. No complaints here. Funny enough, it uses the zxcvbn Java clone [1] I wrote to estimate password strength and for new password generation. [1]: https://github.com/GoSimpleLLC/nbvcxz
