Ask yourself the same question about an OLAP system. Once you’re at a large enough scale, it makes sense to use tools custom designed for your access patterns. I work on Azure SQL, but it’s pretty clear that this is a cool demo. It may scal

I don’t disagree with the sentiment of the author. The runaway cost of owning a home is a huge problem. But what’s the solution? If people are willing to pay a price for a home, that’s what it is worth. Nobody is going to take less for thei

I think you’re dead on here. There is a lot of need for guardrails against ML in regards to things like self driving cars or deepfakes. I don’t think there’s much debate here, because, as you said, companies are doing a good job. The whole

It’s almost absolutely certainly the matter case. LinkedIn and GitHub run very much independently and are really not “Microsoft” compared to actual product orgs. I’m sure this will be similar.

Based on Satya’s reply to Sam’s quote tweet, seems like Sam is going to run a subsidiary-style organization like LinkedIn, GitHub, and Minecraft. Can’t wait to see what he’s going to do.

It really does feel like that. Like it’s mutually beneficial for Sam and MSFT to team up in the short term while Sam figures out his next move and MSFT tries to keep OpenAI afloat for the time being

by beoberha 3y ago
There’s no chance Sam is joining Microsoft to be some “VP of AI” to drive strategy like that. He’s going to be driving some new business where he’ll be able to move quickly and have a ton of control.

Agreed. Sam isn’t some AI visionary, he’s a startup guy. Unless he’s leading a team that’s going to spin out a new company, I don’t get it.

It’s naive to think that database access is only happening when a customer makes an order. Each driver has workflows they exercise and data that needs stored. Same with vendors. There could be operational data for their infrastructure. That

I’m long gone from Twitter (post-Elon, pre-X), so it makes me happy to see features like this roll out that will hopefully lead to its inevitable downfall. I loved Twitter pre-Elon, but understood the criticism people had. I wonder if there

I work for a large cloud service that is not Google where the SRE culture varies heavily depending on which product you’re building. SREs are a necessity to free up devs to do actual dev work. Platform and infra teams should tightly couple

Anything where you don’t want downtime. VM goes bad for some reason - what do you do?

I mean this is kinda what I’m trying to get at. You need to build all this bespoke infra in order to fit SQLite into the round role where a database with native replication is a far more proven and battle tested solution.

Imagine how hard it would be to manage SQLite clusters ;)

by beoberha 3y ago
SQLite is an awesome tool, but I wish we’d stop trying to force it into situations it wasn’t made for. It doesn’t belong anywhere near a web app deployment that currently or will span two or more machines. Once you have a “distributed syste

Has anyone here actually used mojo? I’m curious to hear people’s experiences who don’t have a vested interest in its success :)

Unless you’re using an LLM to fly a plane, your analogy is a woefully bad comparison.

I live in Seattle, so I feel somewhat qualified to chime in. The article makes a good point that the Targets being closed here are the new smaller urban ones. The few times I have been in them, they are grossly understocked and give off a v

Exactly - vector indexes are so different than traditional RDBMS B-Tree or LSM Tree indexes that it doesn’t make sense to use the same store for both unless it’s basically a toy app. Someone makes the example in another comment, but it’s an

You’re exactly right that the main point of private endpoints is to allow customers who aren’t allowed to open firewalls to public internet to still connect to their public services like Azure Storage, Key Vault, or SQL
173.
by beoberha 3y ago
I work in Azure, but my experience is that customers want this - and for good reason. Customers want their own private network to prevent intrusions and exfiltrations, just on machines they don’t own. Or even better, put the nice fancy batt

Yeah sounds like they liked it because of the infinitely scalable storage and high write throughput, but don’t really get into if they were having issues with all that on MySQL. Also, they use the term “analytics” a lot, but it seems to be

I only have a Bachelor’s but work at a large tech company where a good portion of the technical leadership have PhDs. I can’t imagine deciding to just go for a PhD right out of undergrad. In the grand scheme of things, you know nothing afte

This is an interesting example. There are plenty of rules that must be followed when building a home. Equating type checking to a home being able to withstand a tank is a poor example IMO due to the potential of the scenario actually occurr

I have a very surface level knowledge of all this stuff, but this is what I would think would happen as well. Seems like a fairly lossy process that might work for “point lookup” questions but not “range scans” like summarizing.

I’m not trying to come across as a hater or anything, but I’m very curious what “next generation AI apps” will look like. The killer app I can see is a “personal copilot” where you train a model on some set of documents or code or both and

Sure, I get that. But the office has just as many if not more distractions. Much easier to get pulled into a conversation while getting tea at the office.

I think you articulated a sentiment a lot of people have very well. For the non-decision makers, there is a strange dichotomy I see with coding. Remotely, I’m vastly more productive in getting coding work done. I’m sure most people would ag
